PROSPERITY SHOWN IN BUILDING
Ei The Columbus, Ga., Index gives a most glow
ing account of building conditions in the south
A during 1922 and the continued growth in this line
I ' during this year In part it says:
The extent of building in the South varies in
accordance with local conditions and some com-
• munities and sections report a considerable
heavier volume of construction than others, but
the showing for the South as a whole is
splendid. ,
A survey of building in Southern cities and
towns shows that the lead over 1922 is still
maintained, notwithstanding the falling off in
certain lending cities. Many of the smaller
( cities and towns report an increase in con-
struction over the corresponding months of
1922, and this more than levels the record.
Generally speaking, it is well for building not
to be too highly concentrated, for the more
widely it is distributed, the greater benefits it
confers. And, too, it is a healthy sign, for it in
dicates a more uniform development.
The fact that Southern building holds up well
and not only duplicates last, year's fine record
but so far exceeds it is doubly gratifying; not
only because of the volume of construction, but
because there is u better distribution of it, as in
dicated in the latest compilation of construction
statistics for the South.
Georgia offers wonderful opportunities to inves-
1 toi* and the day is near at hand when a greater mi
gration of .the people from other sections of the
country will flock to this state than we experienced
with thejiegro migrating to the north.
If‘these people take up their homes here, the
’ state will profit. Thrifty nnd resourceful the agri
cultural industry will increase millions of dollars
annually, and poultry, cattle and hog raising will bo
thb leading industries of'the country. This class of
people will revolutionize things in this state and
help to make Georgia oqe of the richest and most
prosperous states in the union. ,
THE SWEET POTATO CROP
Every farmer in this section should increase his
ucrcn’ge another year in sweet potatoes. The demand
has been larger this year than it has been in several
yt rrs and the supply has been reduced. This section
of the state is splendidly adapted for the growing of
sweet potatoes. The soil and climatic conditions are
- favorable to the growing of this much desired food
g and the market price has held strong the whole sea
son.
The Worth County Local says: ‘‘Swaet pota
toes are bringing a good price in tbi northern
markets .now at a time when the farmers of
Worth county have none to sell. Several carloads
have been shipped to New torn from different
sections of Georgia lately for which the farmers
received a good pried. The time is coming when
no farmer in South Georgia can afford to neg
lect this crop which is growing in popularity
every year.” ,
Commenting on the above the Moultrie Ob
server has the following:
“It very often happens that way-
“If our foresight were as good as our hind
sight, we would do much better. We could have
raised the potatoes.this year but the-price of po
tatoes went bad a year or two ago, and of course
it was to be presumed that the price would al
ways be bad after that. Those who had been
growing potatoes quit.”
In recent years the sweet potato has grown to be
very popular in the north and the demand from that
section of the country bar, been unusually large. For
many years the sweet potato was scarcely known out
side of the southern states, but since it has been in
troduced in other sections of the country where the
potato is not grown It has become one of the most
sought for food products.
Sweet potato growing can be made one of the most
important industries in .the state. Itris coming to the
front and since the advent of the curing houses the
sweet potato is an all-year-round food product, and
one of the most palatable and healthy.
REPEAL THE TAX ON GRAND OPERA
If the members of the legislature repeal the special
tax levied on grsnd open nt if- Inst session, they will
have done something werth while, sensible and just.
The passage of such a measure was directod at Atlan
ta and its people who have done so much for Georgia
and the south in making it possible for the people to
have sn opportunity of hearing grand opera. Atlan
ta is the only city outside of Now York which had the
nerve to put the money up, without hope of profit, in
order that the people of this section of the country
. might be able to enjoy these operas without being
forced to visit New York. Grand opera is an educa
tional, entertaining, inspiring and musical treat and
training which means much for everyone attending.
It is a mistaken idea many hive that the manage
ment and the performers of the Metropolitan Opera
Company pay this tax. Regardless of what tax
: might be levied, the local management in Atlanta
would suffer the loss. Quite naturally, after all,
those who'patronize the opera would finally pay the
tax
The tax is unjust, born of prejudice and it should

THE OLD BEAU
How sad Is the gay dog of fifty,
The h'rd with the much-roving

Who dolls up exceedingly nifty
-And ogles the girls going by.
He loiters where Youth on parade

Oh what can bo worse than the

fVlio once was a Wow with the

But isn't a Wow any more?
I'm making no comments adverse
on
The old boy whose treases are
gray
But Jwho, .though a middle-aged
person,
Is merry and Jolly and gay;
The butt of this bitter tirade la
Tho goof—there are eamplea ga

Who once wae a Wow with the

But Ith't a Wow any more.
The airs that In youngitera are

In him are a subject for Jest;
Ills leers and his wlnka are alarm

In fact he'a « teirlble pest;
How tragic this once polished
bladn Is,
This Has-Been whom naught

Who once was a Wow with the
