Cotton ginnings in Chattooga
County are running approxi
mately 4,000 bales ahead of last
year, according to figures recent
ly released by the U. S. Depart
ment of Commerce.
Five thousand, one hundred
and fifty-seven bales had been
ginned in this county to Nov. 1,
1947, while only 1,793 bales had
been ginned for the same period
last year.
For Georgia as a whole, about
100,000 more bales have been
ginned this year than last year
to date.
This seems to verify the esti
mated Georgia cotton produc
tion for 1947 of 670,000 bales.
Only 557,000 bales were produced
last year. Some 1,274,000 acres of
Georgia land were in cotton in
1947 with the yield averaging
about half a bale per acre.

Farmers Called Cn to
Vote on Tuesday
A last-minute call to all farm
ers of Chattooga County to vote
in farm program elections here
on Tuesday, Dec. 9 was issued to-
> day by T. P. Johnston, chairman
s of the County Agricultural Con-
> servation Committee. The voting
> hours are 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. EST.
> Mr.-*»hnston urged farmers to
: | make certain that their vote will
I I be counted in the election of
' j community committeemen and
delegates to the county conven
; lion where the county agricul
i tural conservation committee
I will be elected.
He said that too often farmers
, let other jobs and interests keep
! them from voting in those elec-
■ ' tions. But this year, with so
i many vital decisions and per
plexing problems regarding cur
rent production and conserva-
' lion, he stressed that farmers
. ■ cannot afford to forego the op
; portunity to vote.
' The Agricultural Adjustment
Act provided that the adminis-
I j tration of the fa v m program on
: the county and community level
, i shall be in the hands of local
i \ farmer-elected committeemen.
According to Secretary of Ag
'l riculture Clinton P. Anderson,
“this approach, right down to
■ the county and community level
j has proved itself the most effec
tive organization yet devised for
I the administration of any na
' ■ tional farm program. This coun
-1 try has never witnessed a finer
demonstration of the processes of
democracy in action than the
committee system under the Ag
ricultural Conservation Pr o
gram.”
The way to keep this admin
istration strong and representa
tive of the farmers is for all eli-
■ gible farmers to vote in the elec
tions when they are held in their
community. Mr. Johnston said.
Community elections are sched
uled as follows (Community, vot
ing place and date):
■ Coldwater: Ratliff’s Store, Dec.
9; Trion, Fred Cordle’s Store,

All limits on parking on the
streets of Summerville were lift
ed following action of the City
Council in a meeting held Sat
urday night.
The city officials further de
clared that the matter of the in
stallation of parking meters for
the city would be decided on at
the election for city officials to
be held on Jan. 3, when the vot
ers will be given a chance to
voice their opinion as to wheth
er or not meters should be in
stalled on the main thorough
fare, Commerce Street.
During the month of Novem
ber, a one-hour parking rule was
enforced on Commerce Street, on
a "trial basis.” At the end of this
period the councii was to take
further action concerning park
ing rul.es.
Plans had formerly been made
for the installation of parking
meters in the city, however aft
er a petition had been filed by
various merchants and citizens
protesting the installation, the
council passed an ordinance call
ing for a one-hour parking limit.
Following the month’s “trial,”
it was determined by the group
that traffic conditions were not
so congested as to cause such a
ruling.
