DOWNS PREDICTS GREAT PROGRESS Groat progress in development in Georgia and Alabama during the next few years is predicted by L. A. Downs, Pesident of the Central of Georgia Railway, who basis his fore¬ cast upon the accomplishments of the recent past. In an interesting and optimistic statement the railway ex¬ ecutive points out that there has been both expansion and diversifica¬ tion of agriculture and industry. During the period from 1900 to 1923 the capital invested in manu¬ facturers in Alabama and Georgia in¬ creased 650 per cent and the value of products increased 688 per cent. Illus¬ trating the southward trend of the textile industry the number of ac¬ tive spindles in the two states has increased from one and a quarter million to four million. The value of textile products has increased from 26 million dollars to more than ten times that amount or 288 million dollars. The tobacco crop of the two states which sold in 1900 for two hundred thousand dollars was marketed last year for 9 million dollars. The value of live stock on farms increased from 68 million dollars to 267 mil- j i lion dollars. Indicative of improved methods of agriculture is the invest- j I ment of the farmers of the two , states in farm machinery which was j only 18 million dollars in 1900 and I which had grown to 98 million dol¬ lars in 1923. Individual bank deposits | which aggregated 48 million dollars j Ilars in 1900 had grown to 508 million dol in 1923. The President of the Central of Georgia says that adequate and de- ! ; pendable transportation is something ] without which no section can pro- j gross and upon which prosperity di¬ rectly depends. He says that his rail-1 road is continually improving all of its facilities so that equipment, mo¬ i tive power, track, shops and every part of its transportation plant may be ready in advance for the continu- j ally increasing volume of traffic. He declared that there is evidence of a sound public policy toward trans- ! J portation and offers assurance that the railroads of this section will not ; be restricted by adverse sentiment in ! measuring up to their obligations for i ; the development of their territory. i Hairs Catawls Medicine will do what we claim for it — rid your system of Catarrh or Deafness caused by Catarrh.
