Early Development
State Rivers Seen
Atlanta, Oct. 17 (GPS). —Develop-
ment of Georgia’s rivers for navi
gation, power resources and flood
control becomes more of a possi
bility than at any time in the past
as the result of action taken by
the executive committee of the
Georgia Agricultural and Develop
ment Board, meeting in Atlanta
last week.
The committee awarded to Fred
erick R. Harris, Inc., New York
consulting engineers, contract for a
survey to recommend how and when
rivers in Georgia can be developed
for these multiple purposes. The
survey will be started immediately
and the contract calls for the engi
neers to summarize the result of
their investigations in a report by
Jan. 1, 1945.
The committee’s action was taken
on recommendation of the board’s
public works panel, composed of
Ryburn Clay, of Atlanta, chairman;
Henry Mclntosh, of Albany, and
Alfred W. Jones, of Sea Island.
(Gov. Ellis Arnall, who is extreme
ly interested in development of
Georgia’s waterways and ports,
some time ago instructed this pan
el to visit and inspect the port fa
cilities at Mobile, Ala.)
Judge Blanton Fortson, of Ath
ens, board chairman, said the sur
vey of Georgia’s rivers would “mean
a great deal to this state” and
would lay the foundation for a
comprehensive and far-reaching
economic development. Judge Fort
son asserted that river and port
development in Georgia probably
would mean more to the state’s eco
nomic and social advancement than
any other single undertaking.
The studies which the Harris firm
will undertake will embrace the Sa
vannah, Altamaha, Flint, Chatta
hoochee and Coosa River basins.
Specifically, the firm proposes to do
these things:
Outline a comprehensive plan
for optimism uses of the Georgia
river systems with a view to realiz
ing maximum benefits; assemble
supporting data essential to any
legislation which might be required
to initiate the proposed planning
program; recommend the most de
sirable order of project construc
tion on the river systems for which
plans now exist; recommend the
most desirable order of investiga
tion for streams requiring further
study; co-ordinate these waterway
and river development investiga
tions with any river and harbor
studies which may be undertaken.
The firm’s report also will incor
porate a discussion of the effects of
the proposed program on industrial
and economic development with
particular reference to highway,
railroad, waterway and air trans
portation and to the development
of Carribean and South American
trade.
Upon receipt of the report, the
board will determine, on the basis
of its recommendations, precisely
what steps it will take, and how,
in the river development program,
Judge Fortson said.
In addition to Judge Fortson, the
board’s executive committee is com
posed of Ryburn Clay, Robt. Strick
land, Dr. M. D. Collins, Ivan Allen,
Sr., and Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, all
of Atlanta; Cason J. Callaway, of
Hamilton, and W. N. Banks, of
Grantville.

Hawkins, of Armuchee.

day afternoon at 2:00 p.m., con
ducted by the Rev. Jess Rutledge.

GEORGIA’S CLOSE ELECTIONS
State Has Had Many Close Primary,
One Close Presidential Elections
Georgia has had many close Dem
ocratic primary elections and one
presidential race so close that only
1,904 votes could have changed the
result, said J. P. Agnew, president
of the Chattooga County Farm Bu
reau, in stressing the importance
of all qualified men and women
going to the polls and voting No
vember 7.
Mr. Agnew, in his appeal to vot
ers, disclosed some interesting fig
ures contained in an analysis of
past election results in the state
that was sent him by H. L. Win
gate, president of the Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation. The letter from
the State Federation is a part of
the “get-out-the-vote” campaign
now being conducted by the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation on a
strictly non-partisan basis and
aimed at encouraging rural and
small-town citizens to express then
opinions at the polls.
According to Mr. Wingate’s fig
ures, the 1872 presidential race in
Georgia during the Reconstruction
period was barely won by the Dem
ocrats. Greeley, Democrat, received
76,356 votes to 62,550 for Grant, Re
publican. There was a difference
of 3,806 votes and had only 1,904
voters switched from the Democrat
ic to the Republican side, Grant
would have carried Georgia. The
voters who cast 4,004 votes for
O’Conor, third candidate, could also
have decided this election by throw
ing their votes either way. There
have been numerous Democratic
primaries in Georgia in which sen
atorial and congressional nominees
have been chosen by a compara
tively few voters.
“These figures show that a com
paratively few voters sometimes
have the power to change election
results,” said Mr. Agnew.
“There have been times in our
country’s history when one state
was the deciding factor in a close
election, and only a handful of vot
ers were needed to swing that par
ticular state.”
He pointed to the famous 1884
presidential race between Cleveland
and Blaine, in which Cleveland led
his opponent in New York state by
only 1,149 votes. New York’s elec
toral votes were the deciding fac
tor in the national race. Had only
575 of the Cleveland voters switched
over to the other side, Blaine would
have been president.
“Many persons, qualified to vote,
have remained away from the polls
in this state in past elections be
cause they did not think their vote
would count,” said Mr. Agnew. “I
think these figures will prove that
individual votes do count. The more
votes, the more our interest in our
country’s welfare is manifested. In
this war year, when national is
sues are more important than they
have been before in our genera
tion, it is important that every one
of us get out and vote. Farmers
and citizens of small towns, who
make up more than 50 per cent, of
the country’s population, and who
have the power to elect 77 per cent,
of the senators and 62 per cent, of
the congressmen, can make them
selves heard on election day if they
will vote.”
MISS ALINE REYNOLDS
On Oct. 13, 1944, death entered
the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. A.
Reynolds and took their daughter.
Aline, home to be with Jesus.
Aline was born Aug. 8, 1926. She
had spent almost all of her life
in the Oak Hill community. She
had been sick about two years, but
she was always so cheerful and
kind during her sickness. She suf
fered much, but was never heard
to complain. She always had a
smile for those who visited in her
home. Before she passed away she
accepted Jesus as her Saviour. Al
though her Christian experience
was short, but she enjoyed it so
much. She was so glad for friends
to call in on Sundays for prayer
services. And we believe that she
is safe in the arms of Jesus.
The home is so sad and lonesome
since she went away and it will
never be the same without her.
