OUR BELOVED STATE.
Rapid Increase in Wealth in the
Last Decade.
Its Natural Resources, Climate, Soil
and Advantages Offered the
Resident.
--
In 1865 Georgia owned hut
UOti,Wtnu 000 000 in peisonai nersonal and ann real ieai nronertv property.
In fifteen years she had only
this amount, although it was a
of phenomenal advance in all values.
In 1883, when we must begin our
cade, the real and personal
amounted to §285,000,000 in
numbers. In 1884 it
in 188.") §200,000,000; in 1880,
000,000; in 1887, §317,000,000; n 1888,
§328,000,000; in 188!), §340,000,000;
1890, §377,000,000; in 1891, §402,000,
000; in 1892, §421,000,000. Iler
properties, not included in the above,
will bring the wealth to more than half
a billion dollars. So that in ten years
her real aud personal property has
nearlv doubled in value lu the same
period her population *> has grown from
1 GOO 000 to 000 000 We can thus
see that has'been wh,le the increase in no,ml a

These values, he it remembered, are
the values as set down for purposes of
taxation. The real values are at least
two and a half to three times as much.
The natural resources of the State
are manifold aud exhaustless. The
hills of Georgia are ribbed with iron
aud marble; and this great natural
wealth lies ready at hand awaiting only
the time when il will he appropriated
and utilized lay man. The Marietta
and North Georgia railway has its road¬
bed resting upon marble of a quality
lit to ornament the 1’ilti Palace or the
galery of the Louvre. Iron ores are
found in exhaustless beds all over the
northern section of the Stale. Ex¬
tensive coal fields are found in North¬
west Georgia; corundum and asbestos
in the Northeast; building stone and
slate in vast abundance, tire-clay,
beauxite and a dozen other minerals
and materials used in trades and arts,
are to he found in paying qualities.
In the southern part of the State are
phosphates and marl for the manufac¬
ture of fertilizers. Gold has been
mined continuously in the northern
part of Georgia for a hundred years,
and the national mints have coined
millions of dollars from the mines of
the State. The gold mines are now
being successfully worked, and there
is a vast store of this most precious of
metals in the soil of the State.
From end to end of the State stretch
valuable forests of timber, hickory,
oak and pine. All her woods are val¬
uable, but the “yellow pine” of her
virgin forests is famous the world
over. It is used for more purposes,
perhaps, than any timber in the world.
The curled pine—found in occasional
“cuts” of timber—is one of the most
beautiful and durable of ornamental
woods. The car sills of the country
are largely “frame made of Georgia pine,
while the house” and cottage
of the poor, and comfortable mansion
of the rich are alike made from the
yellow pine of Georgia. The forests
are still apparenty exhaustless, and
where they have been decimated, a
later care has spared the young growth
and new forests are springing up to
enrich the coming generation. It is
said that more money is invested in
pine manufacture and in various in¬
dustries connected with it, than in any
other industry of the State.
Two of Georgia’s great natural re¬
sources should not he overlooked.
They are her climate and her soil.
Nurtured by her productive soil, and
tempered by her sun, the fruits of the
State are proving to he a great source
of wealth, rivaling her mines and her
forests. Lands that were on the mar
ket a few years ago for §10 an acre,
are now yielding #100 in peaches and grapes
a profit of an acre. Millions of
peach trees and millions of grape vines
have been planted within the last 10
years, and fortunes have been made
and the value of the lands has fre
quently advanced as much as 1000 per
centum.
To her soil and climate are due also
the great variety in our crops aud farm
ing resources. We can raise with
p ro flt everytliin^ raised in the North,
from horses and Jerseys to clover and
potatoes, and we can raise dozens of
crops unknown in the North and West.
With our propitious season, we can
ship peaches and strawberrits to New
York before the snow has melted from
the hills of New England.
Another gro.l natural resource is the
net-work of streams, which afford a
great number of sites for manufacture
and a vast power to be utilized. Ab
an illustration, the water-power of the
'Chattahoochee river, near Atlaota, may
be taken. Lowell, Mass., imnrolino has spent
more more than tnan a a million million dollars uonars improving
her water-power, which now runs
about §14,000,000 of machinery and
supports 17,000 operatives; and jet her
water power is not two-thirds that
Subscription $1.00 a Year.
of the Chattahoochee river near
Atlanta, while the Cliattahoochite
is never blocked with ice. What is
h ue of this river, is true of others, and,
in less degree, thousands of streams
that rush from the foothills aud spins
of the Blue liidge.
ia regard to manufactures: In 1882
Georgia had not more than 83XK10.000
mye8tea in cotton nulls. In 1892
investment in cotton manufacturing is
not less than $12,000,000, or an in
crease of 100 per centum. Today
Georgia ? has more money in spindles
ji , h ‘ J .. Southern '
taU ,_
I u iron manufacture in 1882 she had
not more than half a million invested.
Today she has not less than §2,000,000
or an increase of 400 per centum.
like Mining interests have increased in
§100,000 proportion, growing from about
in 1S82 to about §3,000,000 in

a<lvallce . the of cotton, and

sarda il 88a 8cheme to bef °ol the farm
ers ID t° planting another . large crop,
Mr ‘ Lana has bee » foremost in the
movement for the reduction of the cot
ton acreage, and furtherinojjfthis by reason of his zeal
and activity in ife object
was made president of American
Cotton Growers’Association.
He has issued the following address
movement ipulators being delude made bv cotton ma
l| to them into the sui
ci,lal act of a S aiu planting a large acre
a t?e in cotton. That uneasiness has
b ««“ feU ia Liverpool for some time in
reference to a decreased acreage goes
without saying. Had these conditions
not existed, cotton values would have
been lower than they have been; aud
now, as the end of the season is at
hand and the staple is substantially out
of the hands of the farmer, these gen
tlernen, who have represented the rear
elemeut for so many months, while
cotton was -moving in large volume,
now resort to this ruse of running val
ncs up, simply as a device to induce the
farmer to plant more cotton than pos
sildy he intended.
“I warn the farmers of the South
that this rise in the last few days is tic
titious; is the product of a conspiracy of
of men to systematically rob the pro
ducer of his legitimate gains. It is a
delusion and a snare, to catch the un
suspecting farmer; to inveigle him into
the toils of another three-million sur¬
plus, so that they can bear down val¬
ues lower Ilian last season, witli an in¬
creased surplusage on hand.
“Let the people beware. It is a hail
to catch thoRe who will bite. There is
uo legitimate reason shown for the rise
in cottou values. The production has
exceeded the most sanguine expecta¬
tions.
“I deny the proposition, aud defy
the man who made it, that any man
can produce cotton legitimately for 5
cents witli any reasonable profit; and I
state advisedly and emphatically that
today the Southern cotton-grower—I
mean, literally, the man who digs the
ground, the unfortunate who ‘pulls the
belleord oyer the mortgaged mule’—is
not realizing 12 cents a day for his la¬
bor the year round. What is to be the
fate of this man if cotton goes down 1
or 1 1-2 cents this fall, which is not at
all improbable when we recognize the
conditions that confront us, and take
into consideration the fact that we had
a most phenomenal season for picking
our crop last season, and that its classi¬
fication was higher than ever known,
hardly any grading lower than low
middiind.
“I invoye the most earnest attention
of cotton growers to this nefarious
scheme, and address you this letter
that you may not be deluded by this
‘wolf in sheep’s clothing,’ or, in other
words, this ‘bear’ in ‘bull’ clothing.”
