Jackson Argus October 13, 1899
Beauchamp Out for Mayor
Jackson, Ga. October 18, 1899

To The Citizens of Jackson:

In announcing for Mayor of this city, which is the highest honor in the gift of 
the citizens of Jackson, is but the out busting of a pent up ambition, which 
has only been awaiting an opportune time to announce for this place of trust 
and honor.

I am exceedingly ambitious, with no “political axe” to grind, nor the candidate 
of any “political ring or clique,” so it is to my interest to give the citizens 
of Jackson the best city government in my power.

It has been demonstrated in other neighboring towns that young men make the 
best mayors, for their term of office is usually brilliant, for all their 
efforts are centered in the town’s interest and welfare.  If elected, I promise 
to give Jackson a good city government on as economical plan as possible, and 
preserve good order throughout the town.

Realizing the danger that now threatens the property of the citizens, I propose 
organizing a good fire company, with a good chief, and utilizing the present 
hook and ladder apparatus thus giving the town as good a system as possible 
without waterworks.  Also provide a way of giving fire alarms.  At present 
Jackson is at the mercy of a fire, and this department will receive prompt 
attention.

If the citizens say by their vote on November 6th, that they want a system of 
public schools and waterworks, their wishes will be carried out.  

I am in for any enterprise that will enhance the value of property of the 
citizens and be instrumental in bringing other enterprises, capitalists and 
citizens to the town and secure advantage, which Jackson can offer if these 
improvements are obtained.

Both street and sanitary system will receive attention, also the lighting of 
the residences and business streets of the town.

I have, though the medium of the daily press, placed the town’s enterprise and 
resources before the reading public of the State, and thus caused them to cast 
a watchful eye upon Jackson, the best town in Georgia, known everywhere for its 
enterprising and thrifty citizenry.

Yours to serve, Charles O. Beauchamp – October 10,1899
