“GO TO SOUTH .
GEORGIA” SLOGAN
IS NOW BEING HEARD ALL
THROUGHOUT GEORGIA AND
OTHER STATES. .
Atlanta, Ga., Sept.21.—This is the
slogan that is now being heard all
throughout Georgia and neighboring
states. It has been sounded in con
nection with a Farmers’ Excursion
scheduled to be run by the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad on
September the 26th.
Tillers of the soil, according to
the reports received here, arc get
ting ready for a big time. They want
to see what has been called the Great
Undeveloped Level Farming El Do
rado and see with their own eyes how
othors grow 1-rops to harvest every
month. Agriculturalists—and many
experts have planned to go—intend to
make their vacation trip one of pleas
ure and profit.
In practically every town along the
line of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Railway, which runs through
Georgia's richest agricultural sec
tion, a welcoming committee hus been
appointed to greet the visitors.
"South Georgia is a #iew country—
good undeveloped land is very cheap
—the climate is good—health is good
there—it is growing fast—values are
increasing—profitable farming is the
reason.”
The foregoing covers briefly the
statements of South Georgians and
farming experts who have been asked
to give their opinion of the section.
Perhaps one of the most profitable
new crops which has been introduced
into Georgia in the last decade is
bright tobacco. Snappy Smith, Cof
fee county Georgia, in 1921 produced
I, 150 pounds of tobacco per acre
which sold, Cor gross $437.50 and
yielded u profit, after deducting all
expenses, of $389 per acre. .1. E.
Luke, of Blnckshear, Ga., R. F. D.
No. 2, planted six acres of tobacco
this season and received therefor
$2,207.10.
Sam Culpepper, Cordele, Ga., oper
ating a farm near Hately, has made
an average of one-half bale of cot
ton per acre this year.
Fred Fonn and John Sheppard, both
of Cordele, are making from three-
fourths to one hale of cotton per acre
near Ross Station on the A. B. and
A. railway. II. M. Warren, Hardy
Troupe and E. T. Dunn, of Ben Hill,
county, have raised more than one-
half bale of cotton per acre this year.
Among North Georgians who have
mud a success of fanning in South
Georgia, in Tift County, may be men
tioned Frank Payne, from Marietta;
II. J. Vernon, from Dalton; Jesse
Carpenter ami Emmett Carpenter,
from Cunnon; W. A. Doss, from
Adairsville, and S. A. Malitis, from
Summerville.
One hundred acres of Meade cot
ton hus been grown at St. Simons
Island by J. M. Hobbs, foimerly of
Clay county, Alubama.
A number of Alabama fanners who
made the trip to South Georgia on the
occasion of a harvest excursion oil the
first of August expressed the opin
ion that the greatest possibilities in
the South from an agricultural point
The great political campaign is

negative speakers agreed to take the
subject just as it were as which had
done the most harm to , Society, Re
ligious affairs and t;ie human body.

good.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 17.—The
Postoffico Department issues the fol
lowing:
Who was the founder or rural mail
service in the United States?
Records at the Postoffice Depart
ment show that the idea was first
officially suggested by f-ormcr Post
master General Wanamuker in 1891
in his annual report to oCngress, but
this version of the history of the
foundation of the system of deliver
ing the mails to the inhabitants of
nearly every farm house in the coun
try has developed into a subject of
keen dispute.
Senator Tom Watson, of eGorgia,
has an entirely different story of the
inception of the rural mail service.
Mr. Watson declared today that while
a member of Congress representing
the Populist, party, he forced through
an amendment to the postolfice ap
propriation bill about the middle of
February, 1893, authorizing the ex
penditure of $10,000 to experiment
with the free delivery of mails to peo
ple living in the country.
Watson's Story 6f Arigin.
Postmaster General Wunamaker’s
rural free delivery service plan was
misnomer, Senator Watson said,
since it contemplated the free dcliv-
titory of South Georgia, according to
farm experts, are te following; Rye,
Cotton, Corn, Oats, Peavine ay, pea
nuts, velvet beans, tobacco, sweet po

villages having a certain number of
inhabitants, and corresponded closely
to what is now classed as village de

In a previous session of Congress,
Senator Watson said, Congressman
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, had intro
duced a similar bill but its terms
made fulfillment of the idea discre
tionary with the Postmaster General
while the Watson amendment made it
pandatory. One of the planks in the
Populist pflrty platform in 1899, the
Senator said, called for free delivery
of mails to country people.
Althought the measure was manda
tory, Senator Watson said, Postmas
ter General Bissell, who secured Wan-
amaker on March 7, 1897, failed to
inaugurate the service an dit was
not until October 1, 1896 that iWlIiam
L. Wilson, who succeeded Bissell at
the end of a two-year term, began ex
perimenting with the service in his
own State of West Virginia.
