err to be secured through the de-
struction Of Tallulah, when they
stated that the falls would not be
destroyed and that, in fact, they
would make an Improvement on
what the Almighty had tried to do
in the way Of identifying Tallulah.
I called attention to the fact that
they were selling stock and making
enormous Watered stock issues, with
the help of three unfaithful mem
bers of the railroad commission, on
the strength of having many times
as much power as ever could be de-
Veloped by using every drop of water
that would ever flow over Tallulah
Falls. Today, the whole world may
know that the dam has been finished,
five wheels installed and not enough
power can besecured to turn one
wheel for more than a few hours at
a time. To save the situation they
have fixed greedy eyes on boundary
stream between Georgia and South
Carolina, and are already surveying
routes for tunnelling through to that
stream, a distance Of some ten miles,
which will perhaps require the Geor-
gia. Railway Commission to allow
another issue of few millions of
watered stock. But the Dukes do
not own the great State of South
Carolina. South Carolinians are not
degenerates and they will not sit by
with folded hands and permit their
State to be robbed of its water pow
err.
AS I write these lines, north of
Mason and Dixons line, an unwilling
exile from the State whose name is
lettered across my heart, l recall
that there came to Georgia with the
knightliest Englishman of his day
and time, a little band of patriots
who unfurled on the bluffs at Savan-
nah, a white flag on which they in
scribed: mot for ourselves, but for
others" In the days when Jasper
and Pulaski and Newton were be-
coming classic names in the lexicon
of liberty, hundreds of brave patriots
whom the power of Great Brittian
could not awe into submission,
persisted upon the sacred soil of
Georgia, that the immortal princi-
pies of the Declaration of American
independence might flower into an
ark Of freedom for mankind. The
faith and the hope which cleared the
tall timbers of the young colony and
built the cabins on it's hillsides is
not dead in the old State today.
There will be an awakening, and in
that hour the Georgia Railway &
Power Company will reap what it
has soWn.
[ believe that Woodrow Wilson
will not fail to have his Attorney
General bring a suit to dissolve the
Illegal merger under which the GeOr-
gia Railway and Power Company is
operating in defiance of the Sherman
antitrust act But if he should fail,
in the Providence of God a man will
be put in the White House four
years from now, who will be true.
That political party has learned little
which does not know that it writes
it's own doom when it surrenders to
the corruption Of gold.
