The south and especially Georgia is rapidly forg-
the front in the eyes of the nation as an agri
cultural state. People from all sections of the north
are looking southward and many of them are select-
| ihg this state as the ideal section in which to live
!< 1 and build for the future.
* ; 'A statement issued by O. E. Taft, Illinois, president
•* of a large investment and loan company, making
loans on farm lands, has the following to say of the
Conditions and the opportunities afforded in Georgia
for investors and homeseekers:
"For more than ten years we have been lend
ing largely in Georgia and we have had ample
opportunity to observe conditions in that state,
'f r both prosperous and adverse. We have no hesi-
W tation in saying to those of our farmer friends of
t the North, before whom this letter may come,
that we believe there is no farming district in
the United States which has more to offer in the
‘ way of advantages that can be found in the state
of Georgia. The growing season practically nev
er ceases, and there is ‘year round’ pastures for
stock, the raising of which is, in our belief, cer
tain to’become u larger factor in the annual pro
duction of your state, an opinion which would
seem to be corroborated by the establishment
within the last ten years of many Georgia pack
ing plants- The dairying interests which are de
veloping so rapidly in your state will prove a
great factor in contributing to its wealth, while
in addition to the usual crops of corn and cotton,
there are so many possibilities in the production
of friut, melons, tobacco and truck that there is
practically no limit to what an industrious man
may do in the way of improving his conditoins.
Georgia roads are unusually good and afford ex
cellent transportation, and last, but not least, the
acreage upon which all this may be accomplished
}' costs not more than one-third of what must be
’V paid for similar land in the Northern, states,
V .land which will not produce year in and yedr out
t as much in dollars and cents.”
* The statement of Mr. Taft indicates the drift of a
( changed condition in that section of the country. A
\ few years ago’, people north of the Mafcon and Dixon
• line held a different opinion of the resorces and. of
i the people living in this section of the country. It
< was thought by them that nothing could be raised
i here except cotton and that it was unsafe for them
. to live in this section on account of the - citizenship.
, That impression has kept this section from develop-
{ ing as it should have developed, but that time has
t • passed and now the people of the northern states are
not only seeking investments in the south, but they
are coming here to live and imbibe the finest climate
in America. Mr. Taft is correct in his analysis of
the opportunities in this state for those who desire
to enter agricultural lines and stock raising. Cattle
■i and hogs can be raised for much less cost in Georgin
1 than in the west With ‘year ‘round’ pasturea , and'
l mild winters cattle and hogs can be cared for and
.• raised throughout the year without additional cost
>’• over any one season of the year. In the north It is
1 an expensive proposition to raise hogs during the
1 winter months. 1 The weather is severe, the ground
•J covered with sleet and snow, barring the use of pas-
j tures for cattle and hogs. The meat producer in the
T western states must house his cattle and hogs and
| stall-feed them throughout the winter. It is a ex-
| pensive industry and that is why so many of them, are
., moving southward and ,to this state. ’
> Mr. Taft’s advice, no doubt, will be accepted by
many and’it is absolutely certain that Georgia will get
a majority of the newcomers. This state.awaits them
and will give to all homeseekers and investors an en
couraging greeting and offers to them the richst and
most fertile farm lands to be found in any section of
the United States. >

PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH
£. Prosperity seems to be prevailing in Savannah and
. Valdosta and surrounding sections tributary to these
! cities. The Savannah. Morning News issued on the
first day of November an edition carrying 92 pages
f of reading matter and advertising. The edition was
I termed the Savannah Zone edition and it is one of
; the most complete newspapers ever issued in this
1 •■‘tate- Filled with exceptionally interesting editor-
1 ial matter, news and many feature articles about
1 that city and surrounding section, it is a credit to the
1 management and an asset to the community.
I The Valdosta Times on the same day gave to its
readers and the public an educational edition of 52
f pages. This newspaper, too, is a great credit to its
< management and to it* community and it is of equal’
1 merit as the Morning News and a great credit to a
ewspaper in much smaller city. The Banner-Herald
;tends its wannest congratulation* to the New* and
mes and wish for them more 'edition* the equal of
the -issues of November 1.
Says the Valdosta Times: "‘If the report* of suf
fering among negroes in Johnstown, Pa., as they
come from special writers who have been there to
investigate them, are true, the northern pharasees,
who have shed so many tears over conditions in the
South, have something to make them weep sure
enough now.” That “holier. than thou” attitude
evinced towards the South on many questions always
has a come-back-

appointed day the hall was crowd-

I the audience being women. The last
J two lines of the notice had caught
l their fancy.
During the lecture the fact was
mentioned that fin a certain part
of the world men outnumbered wo
men by many hundreds, and the
lecturer added humorously.
"I can therefore recommend la
dles to emigrate to that country. *
This was too much for Miss Up-

rose to her feet and walked noisi
ly out of the hall, whereupon the
lecturer remarked blankly:
"I did not mean that It need be

Hugh' H. Gordon, Jr., mem
ber of tho board of hoalth,
brought to tho attention of
that board a matter of more
than ordinary Importance and* on<S |
which should fee given serious |
consideration by those (In authority. I
Hia suggestion was for the city to
provide a place for tubercular suf
ferers where they could be isolated
and treated.. The suggestion Is a
wise one and some, definite action
should be taken. 8ome years since
the city malnUg'ned a building In
the outskirts of the city for the
retention and treatment of small
pox patients. Had not such n pro
vision been made there la no tell
ing how many deaths might have
occurred from the spread of that
disease. Tuberculosis Is more
dangerous and just as contagious.
The city has property at the stock
ade suffclent to provide such a
home and there should be no de
lay In carrying out the suggestion
of Mr. Gordon.
Decorate your place of busi
ness with Georgia and Virginia
colors and decorate liberally
and decorate before Saturday.
The crowd is coming—Jet us give
them a royal welcome and show
them by our acts that we are glad
they are here. The senior Mr. E.
H. Dorsey is chairman of the com
mittee on decoration. He has his
heart and aoul in the movement
and he is giving his time and at
tention to the work of soliciting
every merchant In Athens to fly
the colors on football day. Satur- [
