GREAT GROWTH OF
TWO STATES
a Week In
Georgia aed Alabama are Given
. ' ^ 7
(Columbus, Ga. f Nov. 4—The Geor
gia and Alabama ' Industrial Index
says In Its regular wee’kly Issue:
“With, the transition ot the presi
dential election of 1908 from the
field of speculation and unrest to the
sober state of recorded history there
passes away the quadrennial busi
ness bugaboo In the United States
of America. This year the feeling
thaff Is usually the unwelcome at-
tenant of ‘presidential year,’ was
more acute than usual on account
of the fact that the country was Just
recovering from a severe panic, and
the relief that comes to business In
terests of all hinds with the actual
dropping of the ballots and furling
of the political banners will be pe
culiarly agreeable. In Georgia and
Alabama, where such a plucky fight
has been maintained against a com-
■blnation of conditions that tested
the courage and endurance of the
people, to the highest degree, there
will be a sentiment of general satis
faction, Irrespective of the various
results of the many political contests,
that the campaign Is all over and the
whole country can get right down to
business once more. The truth is
Georgia and Alabama have been pret
ty diligent and enterprising In busi
ness affairs throughout the year, de
spite the distractions Incident to the
excitement of state and national pol
itics, and the waiting attitude
sumed by many big national busi
ness Interests, owing to Its being
presidential year. The record of ma
terial progress that the two states
have made this year In the face ot
the fact that the nation was torn
asunder with politics, the further
fact that this section was the last
part of the country to feel the effects
of the panic, and the additional fact
that the price of the South’s great
ft staple, cotton, has not been wholly
satisfactory this fall. Is something
truly remarkable, and the achieve
ment of 1908 along substantial busi
ness lines In this section of the coun
try will ever be a monument to the
pluck and perseverance of the men
who were' at the helm during the
t storm-period.
"The record of Industrial achieve-
^Ven^or^rCh1uirX»ftatr«gtmg
the week Just ending was qiilj* a
creditable one In every way, and In
It there are some features of special
Interest. The announcement that one
of the largest lumber plants In South
Georgia has put on a night force and
is operating 24 hours out of the day
In order to supply a rush order from
Ohio for several million feet of tim
ber has In it a ring of the good old
times. A company which purchased
71,000 acres of timber lands In South
Georgia and North Florida will pro-
v ceed at once with the development
of this splendid tract of forest. Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin cultaHsts
who plan to invade the greft Okefl-
nokee swamp and take from the mo
rass a liberal share of ]$ wealth or
timber, are on the scene, making
personal investigations, and In Inter
views state that they have fully de
termined to develop their Immense
holdings there, aggregating nearly
300,000 acres. The ambitious charac
ter of the project can be realised
when it Is stated that the company
will build about 50 miles of railroad
in carrying out Its plans. The cor
poration In question Is the Hebard
Cypress Company, of Scranton, Pa.,
capitalized at 31,000,000.
‘The great Interest In shaded to
bacco culture now existing In this
section was shown by the formation
of a company at Montgomery, Ala.,
with paid-in capital of $168,500, to
develop tobacco property In Florida.
At a mass meeting of citizens of
Browton, Ala., steps were taken to
organize a home tobacco company.
In Baldwin county, Alabama, a com
pany will engage In the growing of
winter celeky on an extended scale.
During the months of November and
December 200 acres In Dougherty
county, Georgia, will be planted In
pecan trees.
"Real estate was active during the
week and Atlanta, Ga„ reported sev
eral large deals, among them a $100,-
B1,000 transaction In which property
* sold for $943 per front foot. In Ter-
. <TelI county, Georgia, a farm sold for
*0 per acre. A $27,000 land and
“* timber company was organized at
Valdosta, Georgia, and a $25,000 real
' estate company asked for charter at
Augusta, Ga. Plans for road build
ing In Dallas and Autagua counties,
Alabama, were discussed at a con
ference of citizens of the two coun
ties, and the construction of a turn
pike will probably be the result,'*
A Small Vote and Mr. Bryan Receiv
ed a Large Majority.
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
The election yesterday was quiet
throughout this county. That few
people felt a very great interest In
the contest is shown by the fact that
hardly half of the usual vote was
polled. This was largely due to the
fact that Democrats generally did
not believe that their ticket was In
the slightest danger.
A somewhat remarkable thing Is
the fact that Watson received but
68 votes In Lowndes county and HIs-
gen but 2, Taft received quite a
number of white votes and he car
ried the Ousley district by a good
majority. The vote of the county was
as follows:
At Valdosta, Bryan,465, Chapin 2,
Taft 88, Watson 18, Hisgen 2, Debs
1, Brantley 489.
At Naylor Bryan 46, Chapin 3, Taft
6, Watson 14, Hisgen and Debs 0,
Brantley 64.
At Ousley, Bryan 6, Chapin 0, Taft
18, Watson 4, Hisgen and Debs, 0,
Brantley 7.
At Hablra. Bryan 40. Chapin 21,
Taft 20, Hisgen and Debs 0, Brant
ley 40.
At Lake Park, Bryan 68, Chapin 0,
Taft 1, Watson 2, Hisgen and Debs
0, Brantley 68.
At Clyattvllfe, Bryan 29, Chapin 0,
Taft 3, Watson 9, Hisgen and Debs
0, Brantley 38.
At Lower Fork, Bryan 9, Chapin 2,
Taft 4, Watson 1, Hisgen and Debs
0, Brantley 10.
At Dasher, Bryan 7, Chapin 0, Taft
0, Watson 2, Hisgen and Debs 0,
Brantley 9.
At Cat Creek, Bryan 11, Chapin 3,
Taft 14, Watson 8, Hisgen and Debs
0, Brantley 31.
The total votes of the different
candidates in the county were: Bry
an 681, Chapin 31, Taft 154, Watson
58, Hisgen 2, Debs 1, Brantley 756.
The amendipents to the Constitu
tion resulted: First amendment, for
839, against 82; second amendment,
for 568, against 117.

WHITE HOUSE
Washington, D. C., Nov. 4— No wo
man ever called upon to HU the dif
ficult and exacting position of mis
tress of the White House was better
prepared and equipped for her task
than is Mrs. Helen H. Taft, the Wife
of President-elect Taft. She la a wo
man of culture and refinement and
of many accomplishments, possesses
unusual tact, social finish and, above
all, a large measure of sound com
mon sense. For a number of years
she has lived in Washington as t»ne
of the most distinguished women of
the official circles and the training
which she received during that time
will, undoubtedly, prove of great ral-
ue to her as mistress of the White
House.
Personally Mrs. Taft Is quite as at
tractive as she Is from an Intellectual
point of view. She Is fair, slende 1
and girlish looking and no one would
suspect from her appearance that
she has a son old enough to he In
college. She Is frank and vivacious,
unpretentious, and yet possessed of
marked dignity of bearing and the
self-poise 30 necessary to a woman
In her exalted position. She Is
ways cordial, a rare accomplishment
among society wz^nen and possesses
an excellen*. memory for persons and
names, ^ V-’nvaluable gift for the
wife of a(^,vtloal leader.
The new mistress of the White
House was Miss Helen Herron,
daughter of the law partner of the
late President Hayes, when she mar
ried William H. Taft In Cincinnati,
in 1886. She was a bright and tal-j
eqted girl with a perfect passion for
music. In addition to a good educa-:
tlon she received an excellent train
ing in music and through all her fu
ture Jlfe music has ever been her
favorite recreation. s' '

when he was still holding a Judge-
ship In Ohio, "Mrs. Taft baa wade It
her stndy and aim to dll to the bear
of her ability the position In society
to which she was entitled by virtue
of her husband's official Tank.
Nowhere Is the new mistress Of
the White House seen to greeter ad-
vantage than In her home circle, the
supreme test for the stertlng quali
ties ot any woman, no matter what
her position In society. She Is de
voted to her husband and children,
takes Interest In everything pertain
ing tq her domestic establishment
and Is considered a model house
keeper. She does not consider It
below her dignity to attend to her
household duties and. devotes great
personal care to the proper conduct
of her domestic establishment.
Mrs. Taft Is an aeodmpllshed mu
sician and has great love for her art,
bnt abe never obtrudes the subject of
music In conversation nor does she
etrer bore her guests with Inane so-
counts of the potty tribulations to
which every woman at the bead of *

or less exposed. Of her family and
her own affairs she speaks trill well-
bred discretion and sparingly, while
she shows remarkable skill and tact
In drawing ont her visitors by man

affairs.
Mrs. Taft, like her daughter Helen,

enongb not to allow religious differ
ences of a serious nature to arise
between her and her husband, who
belongs to the Unitarian church, al
though he frequently attends servi
ces at the Episcopal church with bis
wife.
