THOMSON, McDUFFIE COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1924.
NUMBER 26.
THE COTTON BELT HIGHWAY WILL
BE A GREAT THING FOR THOMSON
The people of Thomson hardly
realize what a great thing the Cotton
Belt Highway will mean for our town
and county. j
Messrs. G. W. Jordan, H. A. Price,
B. F. Johnson, and E. H. McCord
attended a directors meeting of the
association in Elbert on Tuesday;
^ where enthusiasm was at a high ten
sion over the prospects of this new
route from the North. It was ex
pressed as the belief that within five,
years time 90 per cent of the tourist'
travel from North to South, to and '
fro, would be made over this route, j
All the counties along the route are
straightening out their roads* and
improving them so that it will be an
inducement to travel this way
What concerns our people is that
Thomson has been officially placed
on this route. Of course McDuffie
will have to make some improvements
in her roads in places, but it will be 1
worth the price. And the cost is not J
going to be great. It is planned to j
straighten the road from Dill’s store
to Main street, and improve the road j
out Jackson street toward Hobb’s
Mill. Both of these improvements j
are necessary and will prove of great j
benefit to the county, both north and
south of the railroad.
The fact that the Highway Depart
ment will pay 50 per cent of the
cost of paving the streets over which
the highway passes, means a lot to
the people of Thomson. Just now
property owners along these streets
are anxious for them to be paved,
and with the depai’tment paying half
the expense is almost too good to be
true.
It is up to our people to stand
squarely back of this movement and
put our roads in as good condition
as any along the route. With the
extra gasoline tax coming in the work
can bo accomplished \vith very little
cost to the county. We have been
wanting good roads and now is the
time to get some benefits through
cooneration with the other counties.
Besides the road improvements on
the direct route, it is going to mean
that other roads in our county will
receive attention. It is desired that
improved roads radiate in each direc
tion, and this will be accomplished
when the ball is set in motion, thus
opening up and developing each sec
tion of our county. If there is a good
highway running out each direction
from Thomson, intersecting roads
can be built so that travel will be
easy from any section of the county.
It is hard to estimate the great
value of this road improvement to
the town and county.
Mr. Gordon Wall Dies
Suddenly.
The people of Tin nson were very
much surprised and s.locked to learn
of the death of Mr. Uordon E. Wall
Monday morning. 1. is death was
rather sudden, although he had been
complaining Sunday of not feeling
well. For the past few years he had
been in bad health and had to give up
his railroad work on that account.
The doctors attributed his illness to
high blood pressure, which no doubt
accounts for his sudden death. His
condition grew worse Sunday and
early in the night he was forced to
take his bed, his death occuring about
1 o’clock Monday morning."
For, the past year Mr. Wall had
been engaged in the grocery business
with Mrs. Wall on Railroad street.
He fs survived by his wife and two
sons, Edward and Reginald; two sis
ters, Mrs. C. P. Prather, of Harlem,
and Mrs. Homer Ivey, of Thomson;
three brothers, Messrs. James, Raney
and Cleve Wall, of Thomson.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home on Whiteoak street Tues
day afternoon at 4 o’clock/ by Rev.
C. C. Kiser and Rev. J. T. Robins.
Interment was in the Thomson ceme
tery.
Out-of-town relatives and friends
who were here to attend the funeral
were Dr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr.
Ralph Benton, of Atlanta; Mr. and
Mrs. Charlie Prather of Harlem; Mr.
Bob Anglin and Mr. S. H. Drane, of
Augusta. ,
Hottest Weather Of The
Season This Week.
More About The Sour
Cream Market.
The past week brought some of the
hottest weather of the season. Farm
ers in many instances had to cut, the
days work short and work only dur
ing the cooler hours Some knocked
off altogether until the weather cools
ofF a bit. Mr. George Lokey lost a
fine mule, supposedly due to the in
tense heat. The thermometer regis
tered around 100 in some places in
the shade.
While the hot days are tough on
the workers, it is fine for the grow
ing crops and retards the ravages
of the boll weevil. It is also a fine
season for killing grass.
'Drops are coming out wonderfully,
and with plenty of sunshine and
moisture will make good in this sec
tion.
About Chicken Sales.
Something said some time ago with
reference to establishing a sour cream
market here where the farmer can
sell small or large quantities of sour
cream at stated intervals. This is
being done in other counties with a
great deal of satisfaction to the
farmer. Several have given their
names to the county agent as being
in favor of and promising to patron
ize such a creamery. They are A.
G. Adams, S. F. Dunnaway, T. E. Mc-
Corkle, E. C. Young, J. E. Hawes,
J. H. Kendrick, T. J. Kelly, S. F.
McGahee and J. B. Dunevant. If you
are interested in establishing this
cream station join hands with these
men and lets make it possible.

THE NORTHEAST GEORGIA
MOTOR CLUB
Mr. E. W. Carroll, of Athens, sec
retary of the Northeast Georgia
Motor Club, was in Thomson Wednes
day in the interest of that organiza
tion.
The Northeast Georgia Motor Club
is an organization of selected owners
of motor vehicles and good roads
boosters formed to promote the de
velopment of the highways of North
east Georgia, travel over them and
thereby develop the twenty-nine coun
ties so associated.
Mr. Carroll is a live-wire organizer
and has promised Mr. G. W. Jordan,
president of the Thomson Chamber
of Commerce, to visit Thomson at
some future date and assist in rehabi
litating our organization and advanc
ing ideas as to best means of enlarg
ing its usefulness to the county and
community at large.
ATTEND MASONIC CONVENTION
Attending the Tenth District Ma
sonic Convention at Gordon, Ga.,
Wednesday were Messrs. Joe B. Ivey,
J. B. Stovall. C. P. Watson, L. S.
Lockett, J E. Wiley, C. H. Moore,
Gus Agcos and his two bright young
sons, Bernard and Elmo. The first
named five gentlemen went as dele
gates from A. J. Miller Lodge, with
instructions to invite the convention
to come to Thomson next year. The
invitation was duly extended the con
vention and was accepted.
EXTENDING SEWERAGE.
The city i3 extending the sewerage
system out Hill street in South Thom
son, thus giving the residents of that
street the opportunity of connecting
up with the sewerage. The original
plan of the system provides for ex
tensions to be made from time to
time as the demand arises.
SEEKING LOCATION.
Mr. M. L. Echols, of Green county,
was in Thomson Thursday looking
for a location. He wishes either to
rent a house or board his family.
Car-lot chicken sales have been dis-
contiuned until September and this
is bound to havj* its effect on prices.
To avoid sacrificing the farmers
poultry at below market price and
to take care of those who have a large
number of chickens on hand the coun
ty agent has arranged to ship by ex
press. The sale will be conducted as
before, except crates wdll be furnish
ed by the buyers and the county
agent must be notified within the next
week how many chickens the farmer
will supply. Prices will be governed
by markets as usual, and no chickens
will be taken unless listed with the
county agent. We will name a date
later. Prices f. o b. Thomson, Ga.
FARMERS LEAD IN MERCER
STUDENTS.
Macon, Ga., June 19.—Are South
ern colleges being filled by farmers’
sons and young men whose fathers
never had the chance to get a college
education?
Such is true of statistics gathered
concerning the fathers of Mercer
University students apply to the par
entage of a majority of Southern col
legians.
Out of the 1,000 students at Mercer
during the past year, records show
that the parents of 33.6 per cent were
farmers. Coincident to this is the
fact that of the fathers represented,
65 per cent never went to college.
Next to the farmers, ministers lead
in the number having sent sons to
mercer, with physicians and lawyers
following close behind.
The leading classifications of the
thousand fathers represented during
the past year are:
Farmers, 33.6 per cent; ministers,
8.4 per cent; physicians, 6.4 per cent;
lawyers, 6 per cent; real estate deal
ers, 1.6 per cent; and insurance men,
1.5 per cent.
Washington, D C., June 19.
THE RECORD THAT CONGRESS
LEFT.
There was some sharp denuncia
tion of Congress at the Cleveland
convention. The New York conven
tion will add to the criticism. While
this criticism was severe, it was no
doubt moderate in comparison to
what Congress escaped because at
tention was distracted from it by
the Cleveland meeting. The Con
gress was in session a few days over
six months but it made no headway
with the World Court proposal.
During the period two cabinet offi
cers were forced out of office. The
Mellon tax bill was born and shorn,
and finally enierged so changed that
its parents refused to claim parent-!
age. The immigration law, supposed
to be a good American measure, but
handling Japanese exclusion most
bunglingly, was an outstanding fea-'
ture of the session. The soldiers!
bonus that was enacted is so strange- '
ly different from the law originally j
asked by ex-service men, that it
b ars small resemblance -to its kins-
bill. The Bureau pension bill for
civil war veterans, and the postal
salaries increase bill were “execut
ed” by Presidential vetoes. Farm
legislation and railroad legislation,
embodied in many measures, failed
of enactment. The settlement of any
definite policy with reference to Mus
cle Shoals most properly went over
the session. Inquiries by Congress'
included the Shipping Board, Buread
of Engraving and Printing, prohibi
tion, oil, and human character and
reputations.
THE SINS OF CONGRESS.
That Congress sinned mostly ’ in
omission, rather than commission,
seems to be the verdict of those who
criticise. There appeared to be a
set determination to “get through”
on June 7th. Congress made the
date, but so far as finishing its job
it left a wreckage the like of which
has not been known since the sign
ing of the armistice.
EXTRA SESSION.
The talk of an exFVa session of
Congress is no idle dream. Doubt
less, when the Democratic convention
is over there will be a strong agita
tion in favor of getting together
again, to “make a record” for the
coming test at the polls in Novem
ber.
ON THE OCEAN TO STAY.
Commissioner Edward C. Plummer
of the United States Shipping Board,
in an official statement, says that
although it costs more to operate
American ships than foreign ones,
“any loss incurred upon the ocean is
more than overcome by the business
development made possible through
such directly controlled craft.” He
promised that “the United States i3
on the ocean to stay.” The Shipping
Board has made an appeal for more
sympathetic treatment by American
newspapers of events relating to
American shipping.
PROHIBITION BY PADLOCKS.
Thirty-four Jiundred places, includ
ing 172 breweries, and large numbers
of hotels, cabarets and dance houses
have been treated to padlock pro
cedure by Prohibition Enforcement
officers, and Commissioner Haynes
| says the method is one of the most
i successful employed by his Bureau,
j Two hundred and twenty-five soft
drink places have been closed in New
York City, during the past four
months under injunctions that pre
vent the places reopening for a year.
During the same period 23,010 con
victions have been secured in criminal
cases, resulting in the imposition of
$5,648,605 in fines.
NATIONAL WEALTH.
The Federal Trade Commission is
compiling data concerning the total
amount of the chief kinds of wealth
in the United States, including land,
improvements, movables, and other
tangible and intangible goods, and
also the ownership thereof and the
various liabilities incupibent thereon,
including public and private debts!
of various kinds, corporation stocks, |
and other classes in action. The in
quiry will include data concerning the
amount of annual increase in nation
al wealth in recent years in different
lines of economic activity and of the
income received by different classes
of population, Work on this inquiry
is under way, being divided into three
sections: Wealth; Income; Taxation.
A report on the subject of taxation
is nearing completion.
GRAIN TRADE.
A general inquiry into the grain
trade by the Federal Trade Commis
sion has been in progress for some
time, covering practically the entire
field of grain marketing and distri
bution, including the study of ele
vators and warehouses, their market
ing methods, costs, profits, and mar
gins of grain.
CHEAP MONEY AT RESERVE
BANKS
For the first time since 1917 the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
has just loaned money on rediscount
ed paper at three and one-half per
cent. The explanation is that the
season’s decrease in trade activity
has greatly increased the business re-
ouirements for credit. The Federal
Reserve Bank was organized to take
care of any existing credit or money
situation. If it was hot functioning
as at present we might be hearing
something about “the threatened
panic.” But with the. Government
standing ready to take up the slack
in credit and in banking it simply
amounts to moving a carload or two'
of money from one banking center
to another, where it. is mdfet needed
to “tide things over.”
RETAIL FOOD COSTS.
The unusual monthly statements of
the United States Department of
Labor show increases of one and two
per cent in ten American cities while
there has been the same proportion
of decreases in an equal number of
cities. During the last full year
there has been a slight decrease in
these prices noted in the United
States, the outstanding city being
Scranton, Pennsylvania, with a five
per cent decrease. However, in most
cities the decrease was only from
one to three per cent. As compared
with 1914 the retail costs of food in
American cities runs from forty to
fifty per cent in most cases, although
it does pull down into the thirties in a
number of Western cities, the princi
pal beneficiary being Denver, where
the rate of increase was thirty per
cent.
MISBRANDING.
The Federal Trade Commission is
getting after misbranded goods of all
kinds “with a sharp stick.” For in
stance, coal sold under the trade name
of “Mt. Olive coal,” must be none
other than that which comes from the
coal mine at Mt. Olive, Illinois. And
“Falstaff Dublin style sereal bever
age” can not be permitted by a Den
ver, Colorado firm, because a St.
Louis manufacturer has long had a
similar trade name. Another bever
age manufacturer has been called to
task because he used the name
“Good Grape," whereas there were no
grapes in his medicine.

SAVANNAH PARTY
VISITS THOMSON
The Savannah “Get Acquainted”
party, mention of which was made in
last week’s paper, visited Thomson
Monday, arriving here at 12:30
o’clock. They did not stop long, just
long enough to “get acquainted” with
a few of our citizens and to tell about
their mission in touring the state.
Col. Stovall welcomed the visitors
in his usual affable and eloquent
style. When he was through there
was no doubt about the appreciation
of the visitors, for he was roundly
applauded by both visitors and citi
zens alike.
Mr. Gordon Saussy, chairman of
the touring committee, was spokes
man for the visitors and told briefly
of their object in touring the state.
Savannah, as everybody knows, is
working tooth and toenail for a state
owned port at Savannah, and these
wide-awake business and professional
men are making this trip to tell the
folks all about it. They mean busi
ness, and it would not be surprising if
they landed the port. They are going
to make a strong pull in the next
legislature. The enthusiasm shown
by the members of the party while in
Thomson bespeaks success in the final
wind-up. To those not familiar with
the proposition of a state-port, the
following facts as promulgated by the
Savannah committee are of interest:
Why a State Port?
Georgia, the Empire state of the
South, must have public owned deep
water terminal and warehouse facili
ties if her agricultural resources are
to be developed. A State Port will
put Georgia in the front rank as an
agricultural, livestock and industrial
center. A State Port will help bring
prosperityt to the farmers of Georgia
and workers in all other walks of life.
A State Port will help bring to Geor
gia her fair share of the world’s com
merce. A State Port will make it
profitable for Georgia to produce
more farm products than her people
can consume. A State Port will be
the connecting link with the world’s
markets for all the surplus farm pro
ducts Georgia wants to grow and sell.
State owned port terminal facilities
are chiefly for the benefit of agricul
ture development. The farmer
should and must have up-to-date
storage and shipping facilities at deep
water so that his products can easily
and cheaply reach the world’s mar
kets and successfully meet competi
tion.
The development of agriculture and
industry through State Port termi
nals is the duty of the people of the
state.
A State Port will encourage and
make profitable diversified farming,
will bring about the building of good
roads everywhere, will make it pos
sible to advertise Georgia to the
world as a profitable place for the
investor in agriculture and industry,
will help to bring farmers from else
where to develop our idle lands. A
State Port will greatly help to relieve
the farmer’s worry about over-pro
duction and marketing at a loss.
Therefore farmers would get better
prices for their products. Proper
bonded warehouse facilities at a State
Port would tide the farmer over bad
marketing periods and bring buyers
for his products from all over the
country to the one central storage
place.
What Is a State Port?
A State Port is a suitable ddep-
water port with established trade
routes and State owned terminals. It
has publicly owned modern ware
houses, grain elevators, cold storage
facilities, docks, wharves and all
other rail and marine terminal re
quirements.
All these port facilities are design
ed and built so as to attraet shipping,
to be an economical connecting link
in the chain of transportation at the
port and to encourage general com
merce in every way.
The State Port terminal is the only
complete solution of the farm market
ing problem. It furnishes the cold
storage for dairy and packing house
products, poultry and eggs, fruits and
many other farm products such as
peanuts, apples and peaches, tobacco,
pecans, potatoes, truck, sugar cane,
etc.
State Port warehouses will help to
relieve the farmer of forced selling
and will eliminate speculators and
unnecessary handling. To the ware
houses would come buyers from the
big markets who seek a great variety
of products that are to be had in
large quantities, properly packed,
crated, graded and standardized.
. State Port grain elevators will en
courage the growing of more grain,
which is profitable when there are
elevators and other facilities for
handling and marketing. Georgia
can become a great grain State when
these State Port requirements are
provided.
State Port storage and marketing-
facilities will make the farmers’ vari
ous crops ready money crops, just
as cotton is. Bonded warehouse re
ceipts issued at the port for farm
products will be collateral accepted
for immediate cash loans, thus mak
ing it more simple for the agricul
turalist to finance himself for the
next year.
How Can We Get a State Port?
The Legislature and the voters of
i Georgia can bring about the estab-
j lishment of State Port terminals.
I First the Legislature must act and
j then the people of the State must
| adopt an amendment to the constitu-
j tiw. oi Georgia providing the autnor-
ity and the money for the project.
A WORD ABOUT
CHICKEN SALES
Just received a letter from Luk#
Watson, County Agent of Morgan
county, in regard to our chicken sales,
Mr. Watson is the man who receive#
and accepts bids and he names price#
we receive on chicken sale day. lit
a part of his letter he goes on to 8#y
“I found myself in a bad way when
the Eastern buyers would not bid Oft
our car. There was a slump on th#
big markets and none of the big bay*
ers were interested. I received it
bid from Tennessee Egg Co. of 200
leghorn friars and 31c heavy breeds,
They lost money on our May frier#
and stated that the light friers caused
the loss. We may expect to sell
friers in the future on grade and
there will be a differential of 5c per
pound between leghorns, anconas and
the heavier breeds. There will most
likely be a difference of lc in light
hens and heavy hens. This will hurt
some of our farmers but it will sav#
our poultry sales. We cannot expect
good prices for light poultry suen a#
leghorns.
“We have had a fair market thi#
spring and as a rule our farmers ar#
satisfied although, they did not Ilk#
the last price on friers. But we ar#
learning as we go and next season
we should pull off some big sale#.
There will be no more trouble about
tonnage. We have that condition
satisfied.”
G. C. DANIEL, County Agent,
It will require a State bond issue t#
provide the money.
By a special act of the Legislate#
the matter of establishing a State
Port can be put squarely up to th#
voters of the State. The law r#-
quires that an amendment to the Con*
stitution must be submitted to th#
voters by the General Assembly,
The amendment required for ratiflCfl*
tion of the State Port project, there-
fore must first be adopted by thd
Legislature.
Article Seven, Section twelve, first
paragraph, of the Constitution of
Georgia provides that the bonded debt
of the State shall never be increased
except to repel invasion, suppress In*
surrection or to defend the State 1ft
time of, war. State built, owned and
operated port terminals will require
more money for construction than
the State can pay for except by bond
issue. »
Therefore the paragraph of th#
Constitution cited above will have to
be amended to read in this way; “or
to provide for the construction of
State owned terminal facilities eon*
sisting of warehouses, grain elevfl*
tors, cold storage warehouses, dock#,
wharves, tracks and other terminal
facilities on deep water at such Goor-
gia Port as shall be designated by
the greatest number of votes of th#
electors qualified to vote for member#
of the General Assembly, voting:
thereon at the general election 1ft
which this amendment shall be sub*
mitted to the people for ratification/
the limit of expenditure being $16,-
000,000.”
What Will a State Port Cost?
The State Port terminals as plan*
ned will cost not more than $16,000,-
000, will not take a dollar out of th#
State Treasury nor would a dollar b#
added to the taxes of anybody in th*
State. Such is the experience in oth
er States and in foreign countrl##
where port terminals have been con
structed and successful y operated.
The State Port will unquestionably
meet all its operating expenses, in
terest on bonds and sinking fund fat
retirement of bonds. The State ha#
only to lend its credit for establish
ment of the project.
New Orleans and Montreal, on this
continent, have successfully operated
publicly-owned terminals, while th#
experience of such port3 as Galvestoft/
San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore,
Liverpool, London, Antwerp, Ham
burg and Bremen has been that such
terminal facilities are financially
sound and successfully and necessary,
The Louisiana Port Terminal at New
Orleans has not cost the taxpayer# *
dollar and 'the terminals have bene
fited Louisiana farming interests be
yond all calculation.
In Montreal the publicly*! owned
terminals have always paid interest
and sinking fund obligations on th#
bonds issued for construction of th#
project. Farmers, -merchants and
manufacturers of the Dominion hav#
been directly benefited by the Mon
treal Terminal. Many of the older
European terminals have paid for
themselves over and over.
Georgia’s Port Terminal will pay
for itself. It will not cost the State
or the neople a dollar. On the con
trary, the Terminal will produce < a
revenue which will in time provide
enough money to pay off the $15,000,-
000 in bonds and thus give to th#
State, free of cost and debt, a pro
ject that will be priceless. Faith,
State credit, brains and work will
thus give Georgia her place in th#
sun. ,
OFFERS FOR LEGISLATURE.

his county in this capacity in the hall#
of the General Assembly of our state
before, and it is understood gave a
good account of his stewardship. At
tention of the voters is called to Mr,
Haywood’s card elsewhere.
