OLD SOUTH GEORGIA VILLAGE
RAPIDLY BECOMING A CITY
The Transformation That Has Been Effected In Three
Years by Railroads and New Enterprises.
There is nothing more wonderful
in the history of the development of
this country than the manner in
w hich South Georgia is being trans¬
formed from a sparsely settled region
of poor plantations and country vil¬
lages into a thickly populated section
of paying farms and growing towns
and cities. No better recent illustra¬
tion has appeared than what has been
done and is being done in Milltown,
down on the lower edge of Berrieu
county.
Old Milltown.
Q Old Alilltown was once the
mecca of a large territory of Georgia.
Here were located the famous Banks’
Mills, consisting of corn, wheat and
rice mills, and the t\rst woolen mill
in Georgia. People from the counties
of Ciench, Echols, Thomas, Lowndes,
Colquitt, Irwin and Wilcox were
compelled to bring their vast mate¬
rial here. But owing to devastation
of war and several hrge fire losses
sustained by the mill owners they
became discouraged; also from the
fact that railroads had invaded the
territory, the spirit of enterprise was
destroyed. Old Milltown soon lapsed
into a sleepy little village of about
one hundred souls.
Grass Builds a Railroad.
Three years ago the Hon. G. V.
hlress, with the business insight
characteristic of him, tame to Mill-
town, and seeing the vast resources
surrounding it and its opportunities,
was not long in acting upon his un¬
erring judgment. Only a few months
elapsed before he brought into opera¬
tion the Milltown Air Line Railway
connecting with the Atlantic Coast
Line at Naylor, Ga. Also began the
erecting of large lumber and planing
mills, which were sucessiully operat¬
ed by him for a time.
Dayton Car Works Run a Mill.
Desiring to retire from active mill¬
ing business, he was succeeded by
Mr. M. V. Gress, who with the en¬
ergy characseristic of him, went to
work pot only to develope his ex¬
tensive milling property but the
country generally. This plant is now-
owned by the Barney & Smith Co.,
of Dayton, O., one of the largest car
factories in the United States. This
plant is in successful operation, em¬
ploying an army of men turning out
millions of feet of car material for
their Dayton shops annually. They
own at present sufficient amount of
pine timber to guarantee the life of
their extensive mills for twenty
years.
Many Important Industries.
The Murrell Turjientine Co. is one
of the next largest industries, having
a capacity of thirty cords of wood per j

FOR IMMIGRATION
All Sections Representsd At
Augusta Meeting.
IMPORTANT 8UBJECT DISCUSSED
Convention Adopted Strong Resolu¬
tion* Favoring Immigration and a
Committee Will Prenare Bill to Es¬
tablish Bureau for the State.
Augusta, Ga., May 29.—Prominent
men from every section of the state
gathered here to discuss the immi¬
gration situation aud the south’s atti¬
tude thereto at the invitation of the
chamber of commerce. About 50
were present.
After hearing from all, the follow¬
ing resolution was passed:
“This convention, profoundly con¬
vinced of the Importance of indorsing
a scheme of Immigration and of com¬
mending It to the entire state, heart*
lly approves of tire action looking to
the formation of an Immigration bu
reau by the state, and earnestly com¬
mends the subject to all industrial and
commercial bodies and urgently solic¬
its their.co-operation.”
It was further resolved to appoint
one delegate from each of the bodies
represented at the meeting to formu¬
late a suitable bill to be presented
to thfe next legislature.
Indicted for Murder.
Middlesboro, Ky., May 29.—C. D.
Ball and his son, W. Patton Ball, sa¬
loon men of this city, have been in¬
dicted by the grand jury at Pinevllle
for the murder of Meade Cottell. Cot-
tell was killed In the summer of 1900

day, which Is converted into a fine
grade of spirit turpentine. They are
also the patentees of an original steam
process for handling gum, whereby
the quality of the spirit and rosin is
greatly improved.
Two artificial stone plants in active
operation with plenty of orders
ahead, variety works, turpentine dfa-
tillerier, buggy and wagon sohps, a
modern ginnery with a capacity of
five thousand bales annually, hand¬
ling both long and short cotton, and
many more large and minor indus¬
tries close in, consisting of turpentine
distilleries, shingles and saw mills,
including J. L. Byrd, Clements, Lee
& Co.
Big New Baptist Collage.
The Valdosta Baptist Association
has contracted for building for college
here costing $60,000, this place secur¬
ing the location over many competi¬
tors on account of the especially
healthy location and general moral
conditions surrounding it. Three
religious denominations are represent¬
ed in Milltown, Methodist, Mission¬
ary Baptist, and Primitive Baptist, a
general fraternal spirit prevailing
among them. ,
The merchants of Milltown are ap¬
parently prosperous. There is not a
store roam for rent in the town.
Big Addition to tho Town.
One of the drawbacks of Mill-
town has been the fact that almost all
of the real estate in the town was in
the hands of the Banks’ estate in such
shape it could not be handled; but
this trouble has been entirely obviat¬
ed by the fact that the entire holdings
have been purchased by the South
Georgia Land A Industrial Co., of
Milltown, including Broad street,
South avenue, Oak street, and other
valuable property; in fact, their entire
holding within the Incorporate limits
of the town. This land is now being
surveyed into one-fourth acre lots,
inclusive of streets, which they pro¬
pose to sell by allotment to take place
about the first of October, after which
a new era of prosperity will dawn
upon Million, as the most of the
parties purchasing expect to build
homes as the allotment is made.
Large Weekly Newspaper Established.
These are only a few hints of what
is doing in Milltown. A large week¬
ly newspaper has been started, called
The Milltown Enterprise: also the
Milltown Bank, a good solid institu¬
tion paying large dividends to its
stockholders, most of the stock being
owned by home people, and not one
dollar of it can be bought to-day.
If you are seeking a home in South
Georgia among warm hearted people,
you will do well to investigate Mill-
town and do so at once, as values ars
increasing daily.

COLOR LINE CA8E IN COURT.
Federal Tribunal D*cld*a It Haa No
Jurisdiction.
Washington, May 29—The case of
Rueben Hodges and others v. the
-United States was decided by the su¬
preme court of the United States ou
Monday, which refused to take juris¬
diction in the matter. The decision
was announced by Justice Brewer,
but owing to the fact that the dis¬
senting opinion In the case w»s not
ready for filing, the controlling opin¬
ion was withheld.
Hodges and a number of associates
were tried In the United States dis¬
trict court for the eastern district
of Arkansas on the charge of Intimi¬
dating a number of negro laborers,
who had contracted to work for a lum-
bering firm in Polnsette county, In
that state, to the end of compelling
them to give up the undertaking.
The proceeding was Institutes on
the theory that the men were being
persecuted on account of their color
and was in violation of sections l#77,
197-8 and 3508 of the revised statutes.
The defendants were found guilty
and sentenced to Imprisonment for a
year. They attacked the law aa un¬
constitutional and also urged the want
of jurisdiction on the part of the fed¬
eral courts. The court held that the
punishment of such wrongs as were
charged is not committed to congress
by the thirteenth amendment, pro¬
hibiting slavery and Involuntary her-
vftude, but must be sought In the
tribunals of the state.

A piece of statuary unique In the his¬
tory of sculpture Is In process of com-
pletion In the studio of James Edward
Kelly, say* the New York World. It
will be known as the Defenders* Monu¬
ment, and commemorates the defense
of New Haven against the British by
the students of Yale college on July S,
1770.
The statu# represents three figure*,
beardless youth* operating a piece of
field artillery. They are typical Amer¬
ican youths of the period.
The unveiling will take place on July
5, 1807. The statue will have cost
when completed, about $30,000.
The figure* which will be cast In
brouse, will stand eight feet high upon ; ■
a pedestal of granite. The monument
will be placed upon the spot at West
Bridge where, 128 years previous, the-
Yale students met the British and re¬
pulsed them.
