CAN SOUTHERNERS BE LURED
AWAY?
There is food for thought contained
i
in the following editorial reproduced |
from tbe Tampa, Fla., Tribune, re
garding the activities of the Canad
ians 'u the Southland. Every one
should read and reflect.
The Times-Recorder is of the opin
ion that few can be lured away from
this spllendid section with flimsy
stories from paid agents of the “in
terests” of Canada or any other coun
try, but we desire to call attention to
the operations of these people ia
Georgia, and warn the people against
being mesl-d by glittering promise i.
I Tlie Georgia State Chamber of
Commerce will doubtless lose no time
in counteracting such influences as
might be created by this movement
on the part of the Canadians and the
railroad interests.
A DISGRACE TO THE SOUTH
(Tampa Tribune.)
For the purpose of luring southern
settlers from their native soil and
(transplanting them in the Canadian

j northwest, the Canadian Pacific rall
| road is making preperations to opej
lan industrial office in Atlanta. Not
| alone in the South is the great rail
-1 way system planning to operate, but
in twenty-nine other cities in the
country- will industrial agents be
placed. These offices will be fur
nished unlimited quantities of Canai
ian literature, handsome exhibits of
products of the country, and orders
from the railway officials to draw on
the treasurer for large amounts of
leash when needed to influence a pros
pective immigrant.
Canadia has been boasting of the
large number of settlers from the
United States that have gone into
J
the Dominion this year to make theif
future homes and fortunes. Indus
trial and commercial agents ha't
been working overtime to lure Armri-

they have been spending millions of

dividends accruing from the invest

right here in this county. Every sin

the request of the State Chamber of j
Commerce and observe Georgia Prod- 1
uct Day and observe Sumter Product
Day at the same time.
Get out your pencil, Mrs. Housewife
and figure it out. Then get busy aid

Because the home merchant I buy
from stands back of the goods, thus
always giving value received.
Because the merchant I buy from
pays his share of the city and state
taxes.
Because the merchant I buy from
helps support our poor and needy, our
schools, our churches, our lodges and

Because the dollar sent away seldom
returns, while the money spent at
home is apt to leave a scrapling at ev
ery door.
Because in buying at home I am
building the city for my own future
welfare in the city.
MOTORCYCLE RAGES
ATTRACTINGJTIENTION
Savannah, Ga., Nov. I.—With pros
pects of over fifty entries, the Sa
vannah Motorcycle club members are
hard at work, arranging all details
for the coming 300 mile spe< d contest
for motorcycles, which will be held
In Savannah on Christmas day over
the grand prize guto course, and whicn
by the way will be the longest contest
for motorcycles ever known in the
United States.
From letters being received by the
club from out-of-town riders the fifty
limit looks easy to be reached. While
only one official entry has been reced
ed, this is due to the fact that the en
tries do not close until December 10? h
and it is expected that all of these will
come in at the laat minute.
Federal League Expansion
Indianapolis, lnd., Nov. l.—Officers
of the Federal League gathered here

Secretary Lloyd Ricket says that >n
all probability thme successor to Joh l
Powers, who was recently released,
will be named. He declares that th •
spring of 1914 will mark a great
I movement in third league fraternity.
The addition of two clubs will makq
the Federal an eight-club organiza
tion, the money having already been
guaranteed for campaign No 2. The
gathering also will give the St. Louis
club a new head, Edward Steininger
having quoted his intention of resign
