STICK TO YOt’B TOW*. One of the best business men in Georgia, who is the manager of a large corporation in on adjoining city, remarked a few days since that it pained him to learn that Co lumbus people were investing their money in other towns; for, said he, Columbus property is comparatively very low; land in the “ boomed" towns is abnormally high. In investigating this mutter since we are led to believe at least $50,000 hus lately left this city for investment in Ala bama. Tite investors, in many instances, have never seen their purchases. They have never stopped to think that the shrewd real estate agent who sold it Intel discounted the future forty years. Many of these investors who have bought mineral lands do not know hematite ore from a hemstitched handkerchief, nor build up or fortify character should set himself to accomplish. This is evident whenever we look from the sin to the sinner. Not only are those ' who commit some of the grossest forms of injustice, in the shape of dishonesty, deceit and oppression, intellectually well edu cated people—they are often morally edu cated also, if a clear understanding of right and wrong is all we mean by moral education but they have not acquired Georgia i’ j per cent due 1916. moral habits; they have not had moral feelings, passing into the ap propriate moral actions, continually and effectively stirred within them. It is the constant repetition of this that forms a habit, and too often if is the protracted absence of this that makes all knowledge, STOCKS AND BONDS. €'oni|mrlMon or PrflroN for nnd lHtttt CorrrdHl for the Enquirer-Nun By JNO.

Huy when things are cheap, sell when they are high. This sum, if it had remained in your own town, would have capitalized a small bank—it would iinve built a 2500 spindle cotton mill nnd employed a hundred operatives, bringing to tlie town 300 people—permanent citi zens. Filly thousand dollars of new money invested in the vacant lots of Columbus would be the beginning of an earnest ap preciation of property here—our people showing their faith by their works. We earnestly believe Columbus to-day offers the finest field for investment in the south. There are no fictitious values here. In two years from to-day there will be an immense advance in all present values of Columbus property. The Midland railroad will be then reaching to the.northern part of tills state. The Columbus and Western will then be completed to Birmingham. The Mobile and Girard railrogj) will then be at Elba or some farther point, and other roads will have sought Columbus then. But what will it avail to give trans portation in and out of our city, if our money is going to build up other places? Where is the consistency of pleading for foreign capital, when we send outs away from our own homes? Stick to your town, talk it,, stand by it, back it. These are the sentiments that should actuate overy citizen, and with united efforts we will eclipse the glorious record of our past. It is Columbus money which gave us the leading insurance company in the state. It is Columbus capital that gave us the largest cotton mills in the south. It is largely home funds which bedecks the Chattahoochee witli handsome boats, and it was n popular subscription that gave the nucleus for the new railroad. When Columbus wills she succeeds.

It was some thing worse for the pounding. hension, there are certain crimes which are morally impossible for him to commit.

It is quite gratifying to note the differ- | ence of condition, financially, industrially, socially and politically, In our state, coun ty and city now, as compared with what it was one or two decades back. The evi dences of improvement in all these respects greet us at every turn. As to the financial situation our mer chants have excellent standing in thc groat commercial marts of thc world and are doing a fuir business upon a safe and sure basis. Plantation supplies have ruled so low that the cost of making the present crop is quite small. Farmers will be enabled to meet current ex penses and have cash besides. Debts are promptly met, nnd the postpon ing of money obligations is the exception and not the rule. There is but little sueing, chiefly because the necessity to sue does not exist. The financial condition of the state, county and city, and of thc people J Columbus Iron Wm-Uo generally is remarkably sound and healthy. Industrial enterprises, as the statistics show, have marvelously multiplied all over tlie state, and notably in this city. The tendency to diversify industries and to build up nnd encourage new enterprises is very noticeable Wage earners find ready employment., and there is no enforced idle ness in the land. Agricultural laborers have been industrious, frugal, happy and contented, and the relations between the employer and the employed is of tlie most friendly and cordial nature. Crime has greatly diminished; churches have been erected and schools maintained throughout all our borders. Taxes are not burdensome and our population has largely Increased, and the waste places of the land have been built up and the old sedge fields have been made to bloom with generous culture. Everybody feels the impetus of a new life and renewed energy. Verily we may' now say that this is a goodly land completely spanned by the rainbow of promise. We can call to mind when In the near past it was not so. In contrast with our situation of a few years past, comes up before thc mental vision like a hideous nightmare. Then everything was tinged with uncertainty. The newly fledged freedman was much ! niorp of a politician than laborer.

One need not go very far into the col umns of the ENqiTiKjtR-SlTN litis morning Itefore the discovery will be made that there is a revival of business in the south. It is exceedingly gratifying to know that Georgia, Muscogee county and the city of Columbus all take a conspicuous place in llie procession of the onward march of progress. It has been very truthftilly remarked that at the outset of the present adminis tration some dissatisfaction was expressed ut the absence of any signs of that business revival which it was confidently predicted would follow the complete restoration of [ generous actions, is of as much con ■popular confidence at the south which was sequence to his future life and to bo expected from the election ofa demo- mfiuence as any kind of informa- crntic president.

Every election disturbed and confused agricultural operations. Rapine, murder and theft, in fact., every crime in the decalogue was rife throughout the land.

It is not merely moral teaching that is needed, though that is an important factor. Long experience has taught us that the mere giving of in formation, even with the most pains taking explanations, is not enough for mental culture. We must stimulate the mind to work for itself if its knowledge is to be of any avail. The same is true of the moral nature.
