CIVIL DISORDER. which in recent years has literally taken
America by storm, is in fact a steadily worsening phenomenon in
our country.
Starting with the sit in syndrome about 8 years ago. we
have seen civil disorder take on many forms. It has run the
gamut all the way from would-be peaceful picketing and street
marches to revolt, insurrection, and bloody rioting.
We have seen hordes take to the streets to denounce their
own country and condemn American involvement in Viet Nam.
We have suffered flag burnings and anti-dralt demonstrations.
The civil rights issue has been taken out ol the ( ongress ansi
our courts of law. and put in the hands of mobs in the streets.
In short, civil disorder has virtually become the order of
the day. Ami worse yet. its proponents have almost abandoned
all pretense of staying within the bounds ot peaceful assembly
and lawful dissent. In fact, experience has shown them that
the more lawless they are, the better their chances of getting what
they want.
IT IS A SHAME and a disgrace that law and order have
fallen into such disrepute. We see taking place in our country a
rebellion against all authority, whether it emanates in the home,
the church, the school, or from legally-constituted government.
One aspect of this situation that is particularly shocking is
the fact that college students in many parts ot the country have
gotten into the action and turned their own campuses into
battlegrounds. One might well ask: who runs the colleges these
days, students or the administration that is put there by the tax
payers to deal in higher education and not juvenile insurrection?
It has become almost commonplace for colleges to be dis
rupted by unruly students, and in some instances to be totally
shut down by student-produced anarchy. And. in all too many
instances, instead of receiving the discipline that they deserve,
they are rewarded by acquiescence on the part ol their superiors.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY disturbing to me because young peo
ple today have more important things to do than lake the law into
their own hands, ami add to the problem of growing disrespect
for established authority.
If they want to insure for themselves a future where the law
still rules this land, and not militant rabbletonsets, students
would do better to concentrate on their studies and then, if they
still have the time and energy left, to work to restore discipline
and order to our society .

A 150-year-old home
comes of age,
the total-electric age.
In the early 1820’s this brick and gingerbread
home in Madison, Georgia, was a showcase of
grace and charm.
And time has changed only one thing. Today,
Bruce Atkinson's antique manor is as modern
as tomorrow'. Because it has been converted
to total-electric.
Clean, cozy warmth is provided in each of the
11 rooms by individual flameless electric wall
panel heaters. Each with its own thermostat
for precise temperature control, so within one
degree of thermostat setting.
Electricity does tile cooking, refrigeration,
food freezing, water heating, clothes washing
and drying. Full Housepower W iring amply
accommodates an entire stall ot electric servants.
If you’re planning to buy, build or modernize,
remember: a house is just as young as the
energy source that serves it. Mr. Atkinson’s
total-electric centenarian is current proof.

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
Qualifying Dates For Candidates
In The State Primary In September
Set Starting May 16 To June 12
According to the news the State Democratic Committee has
set the qualifying dates for al) candidates in the State Primary
to be held on Wednesday, September 11th. This election will
be for our Representative in the Georgia Legislature, the Sen
ator representing Bryan in the State Senate, also the Congress
man from the First District of Georgia, a large number of
State Officials in Atlanta, as well as all the office holders in
the Bryan County Court House for a full four year term. Do
not get this confused with the Special Election that is being held
on May 7, for the unexpired term, ending the last day of De
cember 1968, for Clerk of Courts of Bryan County.
This election will be under the management of the Bryan
County Democratic Committee, N. L. Ham, president, and we
are sure that within a few days a meeting of the Committee
will be called to set the fees to get. in the race for the various
< ffices.
In this connection we wish to call attention to all prospective
candidates in Bryan, that the fee for your official announcement
in the County newspaper will be $40.00 payable at the time the
announcemnet is placed in the paper. We will carry the announce
ment in each issue until the election in September. And every
one tha tannounces in the paper will get a free write up. and
a picture if possible in the paper, but in case there is a can
didate that does not wish to announce in the paper, we promise
that we will cooperate with him in keeping his candidacy a secret.
We are going to try and he fair to each and every one,
however there is one thing, if we vote we are going to vote
Democratic, and if it was to come where we felt we could not
vote for the Democrat running, we just would not vote, probably
go to the Ogeechee fishing.
Our political ad rates are 84c a column inch, and we are
going to insist on cash with each order for advertising. We
have had some bitter experiences with candidates who owed us,
got defeated, was mad with us and everyone else and never did
pay us. If we get cash as we go, at least one of us will be
happy.
REPORT ON THE INSPEC
TION AND EVALUATION OF
THE CUS T O DIAL AND
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
OF THE BRYAN COUNTY
SCHOOL SYSTEM
At the request of Mr. J. R.
DeLoach, Superintendent of the
Bryan County School System,
for personnel of the State De
partment of Education to in
spect and evaluate the custodi
al care of the school facilities
of his system, the inspections
were made on February 19,
1968, by T. C. Chambers, Jr.,
Maintenance Consultant.
Each school in the system
was visited and inspected. The
inspection forms used for the
inspections were those which
have been developed and adopt
ed by the Georgia State De
partment of Education. The
check list of the inspection
forms contains 144 items to be
rated with provisions for add
ing or deleting items which do
or do not apply to a particular
building. As each item is rated
on the inspection sheet, it car
ries with it a numerical value
which, when consolidated with
the completed inspection, re
sults in a rating for the school.
All areas of responsibility in
the Maintenance and Custodial
care of the buildings are re
flected in the inspection sheets.
For a school building to earn
a high evaluation, it is neces
sary that all agencies having
to do with maintenance and
care of the building be perform
ing their duties to a high de
gree of efficiency. Any score
above 90 is considered excel
lent, 75 -90 is considered sat
isfactory, and below 75 is con
sidered unsatisfactory. When
any school goes below 60, there

are areas within the building
which are unsanitary and/or
hazardous to health.
After the inspection of each
school, the results were discuss
ed with the Principal. Where
deficiencies existed, they were
pointe dout and possible rem
edies suggested.
The results of the inspections
are consolidated on the attach
ed summary table. Five (5) of
the schools rated above 90, and
none below 75. The average for
the system is 94.
This system is to be com
mended for the excellent man
ner in which they are maintain
ing their buildings. We do rec
ommend that the existing defi
ciencies be remedied as soon as
possilbe.

Gov. Lister Maddox
Report^ the People
It is with a great deal of
pride that I report to you that
Georgia industrial growth in
the fWst quarter of this year is'
far greater than for the first
half of last year. Capital
investment for new and
expanded industries for
January, February and March
of 1968 was $130,019,618
and that compares with
$94,304,100 for the first six
months of last year,
representing a gain of 38%.
This March marks the ninth
consecutive month in which
the state has maintained an
average of SSO million per
month for new and expanded
industries, for a total of more
than $458 million, a gain of
more than $35 million over
any previous twelve month
period.
It is significant, of course,
that this tremendous upsurge
in our industrial growth
coincides with out program of
advertising, launched last July.
We have had a most effective
advertising campaign, utilizing
newspapers, magazines and
television. The results of this
advertising have been proved
to us in two ways, first by the
tremendous new growth in our
industrial area and through
national recognition of our
advertising program.
Even the impressive
advances we have been able to
make in the area of industrial
development do not tell the
full story. There are about
one third new or expanded
industries in the first part of
this year which have not
reported their figures, which
means that the total for
capital investment will
increase considerably.
Last year was the second
year which saw 155 new firms
locating in our slate, and 1968
looks like a real banner year,
with 95 new firms locating in
just the first quarter.
RAPID TRANSIT
I want to discuss briefly the
issue of rapid transit which is
of vital concern for
metropolitan Atlanta and for
all Georgia. As governor and as
a native Atlantan, I fully
recognize the importance and
essential need of our capital
city for a modern and efficient
rapid transit system. For as
Atlanta is progressive, so is
Georgia.
The issue is a set of
amendments passed during the
recent session of the general
assembly designed to revamp
the 1965 rapid transit
legislation.
For several reasons, I am
deeply concerned about these

amendments. Officials of the
rapid transit authority have
not been able to assure the
taxpayers that it will not cost
over a billion dollars for
construction, planning, land
acquisition and engineering.
In addition, competitive
bidding can be eliminated
under the new amendments,
which I personally do not feel
is conducive to obtaining the
best possible interest rate and
then the best possible price for
the system. Also, there is no
idea of the cost of the fee for
engineering consultants, only
that it would be between 6%
and 9% of the cost, which
could vary the total cost up to
thirty million dollars.
I am disturbed that the
property owners will be the
ones to bear the cost of this
system when they, as a general
rule, will be the last to use it.
Also, there is a possibility
of beginning the system and
then having to approach the
people again for additional
bonds, which they may or
may not approve, as happened
in San Francisco, which 1
visited in an effort to learn
more about rapid transit
system financing and
problems.
'These are just some of the
questions in my mind and I
invite your comment on the
subject.
1 want to emphasize that I
am not opposed to rapid
transit, but I do want the
people to be aware of both
sides the good as well as
the bad.
I have been very busy and
will continue to have a busy
schedule for the next week or
so, checking and signing
legislation into law.
Several people have asked
why I vetoed the bill requiring
potential candidates to share
the cost of verifying petition
signatures. My answer is
simply that it is an election
year and I do not believe so
short a notice is fair to
potential candidates nor to the
counties of the state which
would have borne so cost of
petition verification. Actually,
the bill provided that the
potential candidate pay five
cents per signature, which
would run to about $5,000,
and the remainder of some
$75,000 would have been
borne by the local county
government.
I will sign a like bill next'
year.

4. Now, for the first time ever, big
savings on power disc brakes and
members of the general
assembly. The tireless efforts
of those dedicated
representatives of the people
deserve words of
commendation and praise
from all Georgians.
I hope you will support
those who are supporting our
program for a better Georgia,
and return to the general
assembly next year those who
are keeping faith with the
people of our great state.
Soapy "View
of history
One view of history tells us that
the use of soap went hand in hand
with the greatest civilizations of the
past. When Egyptian kings built
palaces and pyramids, when the
Greek culture flowered, and when
Italian art and music flourished,
bathing was an important part of
everyday life. Conversely, low
points in history, like the Dark (and
dirty) Ages, were known for the
absence of cleanliness.
