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. > f / r t \ * i •/ 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- Coughing Urea the old, lowers their vital ity.

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.

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.
