Sell Georgia’
At Local Level,
Advises Yandle
Atlanta—(GPS) Success for in¬
dustrial development begins at the
local level, in the opinion of Hoyle
R. Yandle, veteran member of the
Georgia Department of Commerce’s
Division.
Yandle makes speeches all over
Georgia to county and community
development groups and others in¬
terested in industrializing their
areas. Here are some of the things
he tells them: ,
“What you have to sell is Geor
gia, and your community is a part
of Georgia ... We can begin today
and have industrial development by
working together and believing in
ourselves . . . The footprints we
make will direct young men and
women into channels of usefulness
or into chaos,”
Yandle advises these industry
minded groups to make a study of
their own communities and know
what they have to offer industrial
prospects.

A LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
November 12 , 1962
Dear Mr. Davidson:
As usually happens when I write
about the mountains, I’ve received
quite a few responses from a story
about Ruby Falls. Mostly people
say how much they have enjoyed
visiting the area.
Mrs. S. D. Gausemel, of 2543 Hab¬
ersham Rd„ NW, Atlanta, called
this morning to tell how Annie
Ruby Falls got its name. She says
it was named for her mother, whose
name was in fact Anna (not Annie)
Ruby Nichols before she married
Dr. George F. Payne, of Macon, later
state chemist of Georgia.
“Captain” James Nichols, Annie
Ruby’s father, was a New England¬
er who married Kate Latimer, of
Milledgeville. He had strong south¬
ern sympathies, and fought with
the Confederate army. He was in
fact a colonel, but was called “cap¬
tain” when that rank took on a
special complimentary meaning aft¬
er the Civil War. He owned con¬
siderable property in the Nacoochee
Valley and Unicoi area, including
the park and the twin falls. Often
he took guests on horseback to see
the falls, sending slaves ahead to
make camp for the visitors. All
this according to Mrs. Gausemel.
Evidently, then, Capt. Nichols
owned the property before the war.
Afterwards he suffered from chills
and fever, contracted on the battle¬
field, and went to live in his sum¬
mer home in the mountains for his
y, ea ith Mrs. Gausemel says it was
a three story house (possibly in¬
cluding attic) and had running wa¬
ter and gas lights as early as 1869.
No doubt it was the wonder of the
neighborhood.
Later former Gov. L. G. Hardman
acquired the Nichols place, now 7
known as the Hardman house. Last
time I was passing I stopped to read
the Georgia Historical Commission
marker there. It referred to gold
operations in a nearby;
stream.
Mrs. Gausemel also said Capt,
Nichols helped build a church in
the Nacoochee Valley. She was un¬
der the impression it had been a
but was now a Meth¬
Church. She says her great¬
Abbie Nichols, is bur¬
there. The other grave nearby
described as that of a child of
prospectors who di e lb
the same time.
Perhaps you’d like to include this
information in the Courier. I had
not been able to learn definitely
how the name of Annie Ruby was
given to the falls.
Soon after I talked to Mrs. Gau
semel, I had a conversation with
Fred Palmer, a White County na¬
tive, now living at 3303 Clairmount
Rd„ on DeKalb County. He is a
retired civil service man, who evi¬
dently did special work for the Air
Force during World War II. He
confirmed much of the above in¬
formation, and had interesting tales
to tell about the area. He recalled
a still near Annie Ruby
Falls in boyhood—unbeknownst of
his parents.
I trust you and Mrs. Davidson and
the younger generations of David¬
sons are all well.
Sincerely,
FRANK DANIEL

late Bill Curtis of Robertstown nam¬

Sale of Mate
Alleged; Buyer
Asks Money Back
Los Angeles.—An attractive wid¬
ow has accused another woman of
selling her husband to the widow
for $10,000.
Mrs. Dorothy Alzman, 35, of Glen¬
dora, wants her money back. In a
suit filed in Superior Court, Mrs.
Alzman said Mrs. Norma Babcock
of Arcadia promised to return the
money if Quinton Babcock refused
to stay with the widow.
He stayed less than 24 hours, Mrs.
Alzman charged, and Mrs. Babcock
gave her back only $3,000, claim¬
ing she had a legal right to the
remaining $7,000 for “alienation of
affections.”
Mrs. Alzman’s attorney, W. J. Hy¬
land, said his client started going
out with Babcock after her space
engineer husband Frederick died in
November, 1961. Babcock said he
planned to divorce his wife, Mrs.
Alzman claimed in the suit.
Mrs. Alzman, charging conspiracy
and breach of a quasi contract, is
asking $7,000 plus $1,800 she claims
she lent Babcock during their friend¬
ship.
