LARRY GANTT I have written about Wlntervtlle I aa a delightful place of residence, j Its fine school and Pure Seed As-1 sociation, hut I have never told I al)out Wintervlllc as a business center and Its high-class merch-j its. After crossing thb Oconee river at Athens the Georgia Railway fol lows an elevated ridge and does not cross anothA water course, not even a branch, until the train rolls under tho car shed In Augusta. This ridgo is a natural road bed for a railway, anil seems to have been designed by the Creator ol our universe for this purpose. Winterville is built on the highest point on this railway between the two cities. After the railway enters Columbia, McDuffie and Richmond counties you see a thin, sandy soil, una travellers noticing the sfcant crops Wonder how a support can bo wrung from such Impover ished land. But not s6 around Wlntcndllo, and for a stretch of many miles. Wtyle the land tp almost ns love’ as a prairie, it has a clay sub- «oM and la very productive.

It was on this same 1 character of soil that Col. Smith dug his fortune from tho ground and Smlthonla In In the Winter, villo territory. And these are the farmers who organized and made a success of thofr Pure Seed Association and placed their town and section on the map In big red letters. And over since I can remembey, for some* fifty years, tho country around and tributary to Winter- vllle has been characterized foi Its progressive and model farm ers; and It holds, thnt prestige to thlp day. Such farmers as tho Pit tards. Winters, Meyers, Erwin Tucks, O'Kclle*. Freeman, Hulme. and others I could name/ have given their section a most enviable namo. Those are among the men who have organized the Pure Seed, ii.

Mr. Herman Mcyor landed , In America a poor lad, a stranger In a strange land, irtnok him hard and ceaseless work for ten yearn to havo one thousand dollars. At hls • death he left handsome property and a flno farm Clarke county never had bettor or more respected citizens/than the Wlntors and Meyera.

Winter ‘vllle Is admirably located and til 1 town has cypr been noted for It. enterprising and honorable merch--. ants and their largo nnil well selected stocks ot goods. They were always conservative and ac cording to my recollection, a com mercial failure has never taken place In the town of Winterville.

Win terville has also two targe gin neries nnd before the appearance of the botl weevil ginned perhapr more cotton than any town In our section. I have already told ol Wlntervllle’a handsome church building and splendid school, which is a branch of the State College. A finer rlaas of people does not exfst. They are. law-abiding and I do not suppose there Is a town In Georgia Or the South more moral or freer from all that smacks of dlssfbatlon. Winterville has always been what It Is todav.
