“It has always seemed to us that a real

is a living entity. It breathes and lias i.e

It possesses personality. It has body,

“There are, of course, shopping sheets
operated for profit ami gain alone with
no other purpose than to enrich their self¬

slighest conception of what a newspaper’s

ment should be. But, mercifully, they
are in a diatinet minoritf and their days
are numbered upon this earth. Not for
[ong will they shame a high calling and a
great .profession.
“To real newspapers and real news¬
papermen, every hour presents a chal
lenge, a very call to service of commun

is found. All thought of personal profit

Facts and figures bring
SOUTH MORE INDUSTRIES
Gone are the days when industrial
plants were “mislocated” over a
steak after one day of looking.
Sites are being selected more and
more scientifically, according to Rob¬
ert M. Holder, Atlanta industrial
real estate developer. And it’s facts
and figures—not sweet talk—that
will attract newcomers.
Holder, speaking a a luncheon
meeting Society, of the Georgia Engineering
lauded factual information
being provided by the Atlanta and
Georgia Chambers of Commerce,
railroads and the Georgia Power Co.
More of the same type service can
assure a continuing industrial mi¬
gration southward “into the fore¬
seeable future,” he said.
Tallying what he termed the
South's industrial score since the
turn of the centry, Holder empha¬
sized the mushrooming effect compe¬
tition has produced.
“When one national concern builds
a new distribution center in the re¬
gion, for example,” Holder pointed
out, “its competitors must do the
same, or lose position.”
Such competition and other factors
produced 193 new industries in Geor¬
gia between 1941-49; 64 with a capi¬
tal investment of $15,000,000 in 1950;
31 with a capital investment of $29,
000,000 in 1951; and the “really fan¬
tastic” number of 27 costing $161,-
237,000 so far in 1952, Holder con¬
tinued.
“And they are the type plants, I
think, that couldn’t have been hand¬
picked any better. In a tight, com¬
petitive market, they will be able to
hold their own with any other sec¬
tion of the nation, because they’re
fitted with tht newest equipment and
■ geared to meet 1952 needs.”
Pointing out that the greater ma¬
jority of post-war Southern facilities
are branch operations of national
companies, Holder said “we are cer¬
tainly glad to have them, but we
will are looking be accompanying forward to the growth day there of
an
Southern-owned plants. The lack of
local capital funds is a continuing
problem.”
Meanwhile, he said, despite the
migration, labor the danger of a scarcity
of in the South is “a long way
off.” There are an abundance of
workers and the region’s labor force
is “extremely mobile” so that the
migratory movement in the future
will tend to “spread” over the area
•rather than centralizing in centers
such as Atlanta.
+ in the long range, Holder con¬
the cluded, the major problem facing
entire region's economy must be
the multi-purpose development of the
Chattahoochee River. •—Alex Joiner

A VICTORY FOR FREE
ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA
cincts Although returns from remote pre¬
still were being tabulated two
days after the balloting, it appears
at this writing that Georgia voters
for the second time in two years
have defeated an attempt to curtail
freedom of their general elections.
This is a victory for all the peo¬
ple of Georgia, and time will prove
it so.
Two years ago the state’s voters
rejected a constitutional amendment
which would have made the county
unit system applicable in general
elections.
This year the attempt was to ac¬
complish that same end by different
means—to let contests in the gen¬
eral election still be decided on a
popular vote basis, but to keep off
the ballot all candidates except those
nominated in a county unit primary.
This was Amendment No. 1, over
which such a bitter campaign was
fought.
The campaign was marked by vi¬
cious prejudice appeals to racial and religious
and by attempts to pit ru¬
ral Georgians against town and city
dwellers, when their interests are
basically the same.
thoroughly Fortunately the issues were so
discussed that a majority
of Georgia voters understood the
basic one: freedom of their general
election. They voted to keep control
of that important instrumentality of
government in the hands of all the
voters of Georgia.
Let us hope this will be an end to
attempts to cram such restrictive
amendments down the throats of
Georgians.
Governor Taimadge admits that it
may be. Asked if he would make a
third attempt to pass such an amend¬
ment, he said, “No, if I lose it twice,
I think I’ll let it ride.”
The state has been tom by two
bitter and completely unnecessary
fights. Each time the voters have
stood firm. It is time now for the
advocates of a curtailed franchise to
accept the decision.
Let us hope also that we will not
have another campaign based on ra¬
cial prejudice and personal vilifica¬
tion. Georgians can understand is¬
sues and deserve to be treated as in¬
telligent citizens.—Editorial in The
Atlanta Journal.
NEWSPAPER PROVE

tain political bigwigs that news¬

And following elections in which
they have been successful they have
done a lot of crowing about “news¬
have papers losing their influence.” Some
gone so fare as to question the
honesty them of newspapers, referring to
as “them lying newspapers.”
Well, what will they say this year
—following the national election?

paign that a majority of the news¬

GEORGIANS EARN
A GREAT VICTORY
Governor Herman Taimadge has
conceded defeat in the shocking and
mysteriously motivated attempt to
impose the county unit system on
Georgia’s general election.
the Georgia has emphatically rejected
attempt to shackle the freedom
e vo ' ;er > f° m ake impossible any
independent •
in fact, campaign, and to turn
over, complete and entire
control of elections to the faction in
power.
- The victory was won largely by the
people of rural Georgia.
In his concession of defeat, the
governor, of course, blamed his de¬
feat on Atlanta. The facts are that
about 40 rural counties voted heavily
against the measure and, more im¬
portant, in almost all the more than
100 others there was a substantial
no vote. In many of the smaller
counties m rural regions the major
ity for the amendment was very, very
small. Even in the bloc-vote', Tal
made-eontrolled counties there was
some opposition.
It was a victory of, for and by the
whole people—everyone had a hand
in it.
While we are proud of our share
m the victory, it is necessary, be¬
cause of the governor’s attempt to
make it appear an Atlanta triumph,
to point out that weekly and daily
newspapers in every section of the
state joined in the fight for freedom
to vote. When people know the facts
they can be depended on to do what
is right.
of Perhaps the most shocking feature
the campaign was the false and
ruthless attacks against all those who
fantastic opposed the amendment. The most
and far-fetched charges
were made against those on news¬
papers, against all other individuals
who publicly opposed the amendment
and against the good people of At¬
lanta. It was such a shocking state
of affairs that the churches and min¬
isters of the state were forced to
adopt public resolutions against the
use of the race issue, and the smear
techniques employed.
Perhaps this victory by all the peo¬
ple, the rural people and the city
people—and all of us are people de¬
voted to our state—means that Geor¬
gia is weary of campaign by smear
and fear.
Not in a long time has the state
had so healthy and encouraging de¬
velopment.
Georgia doesn’t have to advertise
herself to the world as a region of
prejudice. There are no finer people
anywhere than Georgians and we are
sure that all over the state there will
be rejoicing that we all joined hands,
those who work for Georgia on the
farms, m the small towns and in the
cities—to win what was the most
critical and important fight for free¬
dom of the ballot.
The mystery remains—-why did
Governor Taimadge, doing a good
j°b, suddenly set his mind on such
a vicious piece of legislation and
fight so hard to ram it down the
throats of the people?
Whatever the answer, the victory
was one of the finest things Georgia
has done for herself. —Editorial in
Atlanta Constitution.
