WE NEED MANUFAI TURES.
Comparisons are sometimes odious,
but very necessary at times to bring
us to a full realization of the condition
cf ourselves and things.
Now that the Americus and Sumter
County Chamber of Commerce has
gone on record as being in favor and
proposes to foster manufacturing en
terprises for Americus and this sec
tion it will not be amiss or out of
place to make a few comparisons. To
say that Georgia has $258,000,000 in
vested in manufacturing enterprises
conveys but a vague idea as to her im
portance as a manufacturing state,
nor does it count for much unless we
can arrive at some intelligent under
standing as to how this will compare
with what other states have invested
and at the same time study the facts
ir. connection with the population, the
area of territory, natural advantages,
etc.
In a recent issue of the Manufactur
ers Record we find the fololwing com
parive figures which should prove eye
openers to the people of the oSuth and
especially Georgia, the grand old em
pire state of the South. She possesses
perhaps more natural advantages for
manufacturing enterprises than al
most any state in the Union. The fig
ures referred to are as follows:
In 1914 Connecticut had invested in
manufacturing a total of $620,194,000.
The increase in the five-year period
from 1909 to 1914 was greater by $22,-
000,000 than the total of capital in
vested in manufacturing in Missis
sippi. It was greater by $27,000,000
than the aggregate manufacturing cap
ital of Arkansas.
The magnitude of this industrial de
velopment in Connecticut is seen in
the fact that it is $159,000,000 greater
than the combined manufacturing cap
ital of Georgia and South Carolina,
and is $84,000,000 greater than the to
tal manufacturing capital of North
Carolina and Texas.
These simple facts, striking as
they are, can be better understood
when it is remembered that the total
land area of Connecticut is only 4820
square miles, while the land area ot
Georgia is 58,725 square miles, that of
South Carolina 30,495 square miles
and that of North Carolina 48,740
s juare miles, while Texas is simply
too big to talk about, with its more
than 262,000 square miles. But area
alone does not count.
Connecticut has a population of !,•
200,000 only.
Connecticut had invested in its fac
tories in 1914 more than SSOO per
capital for its entire population while
Georgia in 1914 had only 092 per cap
ita, or but little more than one-sixth
os much per capita as Connecticut.
Rhode Island is smaller than many
of the counties in the South, tie total
land area is 1067 square miles. It
might be cut off of any one corner of
almost any state in the South and
the rest of the state woudl never know
that it had been lost, so far as area is
concerned. But Rhode Island had in
1914 a manufacturing capital of $309,-
595,000, though its population was
only 602,000.
Rhode Island, with an area of a lit
tle more than 100 square miles, and
with a population of only 602,000, had
$46,000,000 more invested in manufac
turing than Georgia, with its 58,0001
square miles and its 2,800,000 people.
It had $101,000,000 more money in fac
tories than South Carolina, with over
30,000 square miles of land area and 1
a population of 1,600,000. North Car
olina is accounted one of the prosper
ous industrial states of the South but,
though it is 48 times as large as
Rhode Island, and though its popula
tion is nearly four times as great, it
had in 1914 $51,000,000 less capital in
vested in manufacturing than that tiny
little state of New England.
Running through the whole South in
contrast with New England equally as
striking statistics could be (presented
Showing the amazing industrial de
velopment of New England as compar
ed with the more limited industrial
progress of the South.
In these figures the South and Geor
gia should have an Inspiration rath
er than a discouragement. The inspir
ation may be found in the limitlees
possibilities of this section, and when-
ever the South wakes up to the fact oi
these possibilities, and pursues with
. the same tireless energy its industrial
, development that has marked the pro
gress of the New England states, her
growth and prosperity as a manufac
turing section will be even more wond
erful and marvelous.
Now that our Chamber of Commerce
has started the ball to rolling let our
citizens, our moneyed men, get behind
and push and soon this the best sec
tion of old Georgia will grow and blos
som like the rose.

JftPS WILL RETURN
6IFO GERMANS
KOBE, Japan, June 21.—The sub
scribers to the proposed reconstruct
ed international hospital at Kobe have
voted to return to the German sub
scribers the gift of $7,000 which they
made to found a “Kaiser Wilhelm 11.
Operating Room” in the hospital. On
account of their objection the to meth
ods of German warfare the subscrib- 1
ers, mostly English, decided that they
did not wish any part of the hospital ]
to be named after the German Elnper- ;
or. Thejr started to collect a fund to
take the place of the German gift and
the total amount was recently made
up.
The German directors of the hos
pital board absented themselves from
the meeting but sent a letter declaring '
that as German subjects they must
decline to be present at a gathering
which occupied itself with the name
or person of His Majesty, Kaiser Wil
helm 11.
THE BEST PROOF
Given by an Americus citizen.
Doan's Kidney Pills were used—
they brought benefit.
The story was told to Americus res
idents.
Time has strengthened the evidence.
Has proven the result lasting.
The testimony is home testimony—
The proof convincing.
It can be investigated by Americus
residents.
A. C. Alexander, grocer, 712 Spring
St., Americus, says: “My back caused
me much suffering and I was hardly
able to perform my duties ®n account
of the pains. The action of my kidneys
was very irregular and too frequent,
causing me to get up a number of
times at night. Doan’s Kidney Pills
soon relieved me of the pain in my
back and the action of my kidneys be
came regular. The pains left and 1
have never felt them since.”
(Statement given March 18. 1910.)
A Permanent Cure.
MORE THAN FOUR YEARS IaATER,
Mr. Alexander said: “Doan’s Kidney
Pills made a cure for me which has
proven permanent and lasting now and
my back and kidneys don’t bother me a
Mt”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills— the same that
Mr. Alexander has twice publicly rec
ommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,

FOK CONGRESS.
To the Voters of the Third Congress
ional District:
I hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for re-election as your Rep
resentative in the Sixty-Fifth (65th)
Congress, subject to the primary to be
held on September 12th.
During the short time I have been
your congressman, I have sincerely en
deavored to serve you faithfully, and
if my efforts and record meet with
your approval, I will feel greatly hon
ored and profoundly grateful if you
will give me your support In the com
ing elections. Congress has been in al
most continuous session since you
elected me, and duty required me to
stay here, which prevented me from
visiting you as often as I wisfied. The
Ways and Means committee is now
daily working on a revenue measure;
being on that committee, I must re
main here until the new tax law is
passed. As soon as Congress adjourns,
or before then, if public business will
permit me to leave, I expect to canvass
the District, meet the people personal
ly and talk to them face to face, both
individually and on the stump.
If re-elected, I promise to discharge
the duties of the great office with fidel
ity and to the best of my ability.
From the depths of my heart, I
thank you for your past kindness to
me. Cordially yours ,
CHARLES R. CRISP.
For Solicitor-General.
To the Citizens of the Southwestern
Judicial Circuit:
I hereby respectfully announce ofr
re-election to the office of Solicitor-
General of the Southwestern Circuit;
subject to the primary of September
12th, 1916. In doing so, I wish to
thank my friends throughout the
Circuit for the favors heretofore ac
corded me, and solicit their kind sup
port of my candidacy for re-election;
assuring them, if re-elected, a faithful
and impartial discharge of the duties
of teh office. Respectfully,
J. R. WILLIAMS.
SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Doabt Pre
vent* Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—“ 1 was not able to do
anything for nearly six months," writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and
was down in bed for three months.
1 cannot tell you how 1 suffered with
my nead, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did nut help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 thought
it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
1 think Cardui is the best medicine In
the world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.
