WILL YOU JOIN US IN MAKING A FORTUNE?
Nothing so surelv offers as safe an investment and large re
turns as a good manufacturing stock. Probably you do not realize
how many people that are enjoying a regular income as the results
from investigating in manufacturing stocks. There ar? thousands
of them and they are largely those who bought their stock when
the opportunity was first offered. To secure shares at a low price
before the company had been fully developed.
Stocks of many manufacturing companies have advanced from
a few dollars a share to prices ranging from SIOO.OO to $5,000.00 a
share in value and besides have paid back to the investors in divi
dends many times what they first invested. Many of the companies
are paying from 50 to 100% in dividends on the first price for stock.
Twenty-five years ago Bell Telephone stock sold at $1 a share,
this stock has increased in value to over $1,000.00 a share.
A few years ago Lynotype Machine stock sold at $2,500 a share,
this stock is worth over $1,000.00 a'share to-day on the open market.
To grasp such an opportunity purchase stock in the Empire
Machine Company at $25.00 a share. This company is in the hands
of men whose ability and integrity cannot be questioned and these
men pledge themselves to see that each and every investor in the
enterprise receives an equal division of the profits.
CONCRETE.
Concrete has long been recognized as the building material of
the future, its development as such is becoming a necessity. That
some new material is needed is proven by the diminishing supply
of wood, which is estimated will all be cut in 20 years.
Wooden building have partially a sho-t life of usefulness and
buildings of brick, although they have a longer life, are subject to
weather conditions and will eventually disintegrate, Concrete, on
the contrary, when subject to the same conditions becomes stronger
as time goes on.
The Empire Machine Company has just been organized as
manufacturers of Concrete Block Machines, Concrete Brick Ma
chines, Concrete Mixers, Concrete Sidewalk Machines, Concrete
Fence Post Machines, etc.
This Comnany has been incorporated with a capital stock of
1250,006.00 (divided into shares of par value SIOO.OO a share, tem
porary price $25.00 a share.
Our Machines are fully protected by United States and Foreign
Patents. There is over 300 per cent, profit in their manufacture;
1 bus enormous profit and the rapidly increasing demand for Con
crete Machinery should make this stock pay dividends of 50or even
100 per cent, a vear in the near future. Dividends will be declared
semi-annually.

Needs a Laundry,
If there is anything among the
public necessities that is needed
in Douglas, more than another,
it is a good, first class steam laun
dry, where families may have
their laundry done and returned
in the same week. Now, it is a
difficult matter to get ironing and
laundry work. It appears, if
we have been correctly informed
that the colored washerwomen of
the town have formed a compact
not to wash and iron for “white
crackers,” as they term the peo
ple v/ho have been their friends,
unless the family laundry is sent
to their homes, and then, when
this is done, tney have so much
gossip and running around to do
that it is often Sunday morning
before the clothes are returned.
This is another verification of
the fact that when you have taken
some one up from poverty and
want and helped them on their
feet that they are your traducers
and have no favors for you. The
best way to bring them to their
senses is to let them drop. We
need a laundry.
Georgia is just now ripe for a
prohibition fight. Several coun

“Oracle”
The Unappreciative Negro.
When the big hotel at Virginia
beach was burning last Monday,
and the ladies of the town had
formed themselves into a water
brigade, helping the white men
| do all they could, to save life and
property, crowds of negro men
stood around and would not lend
a hand. Just like’em. But
when they want a friend they
can always be canted upon to
call upon the white man. Would
to Go J the last man, woman and
child of that race was back in
Africa, with a wall around that
country that would reach heaven,
in order that they should remain
there, dwindle away to nothing
as they would, if left to them
selves. Their hatred toward the
Southern man, their best and
only friend, grows more intense
and bitter as the years go by,
and it would be better, if they
were alone in their misery and
bitterness.

Waycross seems to be in trouble
over the cow question. Give me
the cow every time to the Norman
Park species of hog. Give me
any sort of cow, short horn, no
horn, jersey, piney-woods, any
old thing in the cow line to our
kind of hog.—Pi ess. Same on
this end of the line, bud, and then
deliver us from these hungry
fleas, they have got so bad here
they have gone to chasing the
red aunts, one of our boys caught
a flea last week that had caught
an aunt and had it about choked
to death. —Milltown News.
Well Spoken.
The Montgomery Advertiser
says: “The fame of the South
and the people thereof is secure,
and no part of her history is more
glorious and creditable than the
events of the war between the
states. Let us honor our own,
in our own way and at our own
time, without malice towards
others and without fear of adverse
criticism, if such should come.
The South has done a good deed
and art has been enriched by the

Better Prices For Cotton.
The outlook for better prices
for the cAton crop of 1907, may
seem better, when it is known
that options for July cotton sold
at 12 cents a pound on the New
York Cotton Exchange on Friday
of last week, for the first time
this season, after an advance of
about 1-2 cent per pound, or $2.-
50 per bale.
Weather Bad on Tobacco Crop.
Tobacco farmers in Decatur
county report an unfavorable out
look for the crop this year. They
say the weather conditions have
been very unfavorable and the
cool nights for the past week
have caused the tobacco to be
come stunted. The crop promises
to lie considerably under that of
last year, both in quantity and
quality. Most of the farmers
contracted their crops before they
were planted.
Dispute About Hoxesborough.
“They have established a town
in upper Georgia and named it,
‘Hokesborough.’ vVe don’t
think the name appropriate, for
Hoke never burroughs, but is al
waycout in the open. If you
doubt this read the Atlanta
Journal.” —Tattnall Journal.
Editor Folsom ought to be m ire
careful! with his paragraphs.
He is about as wrong coacering
the location of Hokesboro as he
was in the recent c impaign.
Hokesboro is not in Narth Gear
gia but is on the Broxton, Hazle
htirst & Valdosta Railroad, in
Coffee county we believe, if the
Atlanta Journal says Hokesboro
is in North Georgia, we chal
lenge its authority also. - Forrest
Blade.

Every small town in South
Georgia owes it to itself to put
itself in such an attitude that
strangers are welcome and made
to feel at home. That is the way
development must be obtained.
The large cities all are doing this
and gradually the smaller towns
are realizing the importance of
tnis matter, but this attitude
must be assumed at once.—Fitz
gerald People.
