SHOWING IMPROVEMENTS AND INCREASED VALUES OF FARM
LANDS IN THE LAST TEN YEARS.
t
Should Land Values Increase in the Next Ten Years As in the Past Ten, What
Will Our Farm Lands Be Worth?
The farm land sales of Sumter
County for the last ten years have i
been phenomenal. We doubt if there
is any other county in Georgia that
has enjoyed half the number of land
sales that Sumter County has. Yet
1 we have not had what is known as a
Hand boom.
The sale and subdivision of the
old Parker Place north of Americus
jof 3600 acres was made by W. S.
I Andrews. Also the improvements
( on same have been beyond the or
i dinary. This farm sold in 1911
for $78,000. 2400 acres of this farm
| is now held by the owners for $325,-
I 000. They are C. C. Hawkins, B. J.
' & J. A. Methvin. When sold this
farm was an eyesore to Sumter county
W. S., G. W. & W. M. Andrews
(sold the N. A. Ray of 315 acres for
I SIOO per acre. We have since offer
;ed Mr. Ray S2OO per acre. Mr. Chas.
Hogg bought his farm in Sumter
i County in 1910 for $12,000. This
I farm is now worth S2OO per acre. On
■ the above farms the improvements
are four nice new residences, large
i barns on each, probably 20 miles of
’ wire fencing, lots of tenant houses,
deep wells. The improvements are
worth about $50,000 to $60,000.
The Dr. Mathis Place of 360 acres
was bought by Dr. Mathis for $6,500
and sold last fall for $25,000. Deals
were made by W. S. Andrews. 200
I acres of the old Albert Brady Place
i bought by Lee Johnson in 1910 for
| $6,500, was sold to Frazier Bros, in
, 1918 for $12,000 and was sold by W.
■ S. and W. M. Andrews to Gatewood
I Bros in 1919 for $15,000.
; The Jim Methvin Place in the 28th
; District, sold by W. S. & W. M. An
' drews in 1918 for $27,000, was divid
' ed into two small farms and sold by
|by W. S. Andrews to Mr. C.
i S. S. Horne and Lucius Methvin for
i $41,000. This farm contains 725
' acres, and the same lands could not
be bought now for less than $60,000.
Col G. R. Ellis sold Roy McGarrath
125 acres in 1910 for $6,500, and
bought the same farm frojm Mr. Mc-
Garrath in 1918 for $13,000. Deals
made through W. S. Andrews. Lynn

for $12,000, sold the same in 1913
for $25,000. W. S.. W. M. & R. M.
Andrews sold this farm in 1918 to
Mr. Costen for $33,000. Farm con
i tains 417 acres. The old W. M. Mc-
I Garrath Place on the Ellaville Road
was bought by Mr. Sherlock and Mr.
I Gordon Heys for sls per acre in
I 1915. They sold this farm to Mr.
; Guest in 1917 at $25 per acre.. -Mr.
j Guests sold to Mr. White, of
i Danielsville, Ga., for $26,000. This
; farm has been well improved and this
.last deal was made by W. S. Andrews.
W. M. Andrews bought 249 acres
four miles of Americus for $6,000,
sold same to Hamp Jefanings in 1911
I for $9,000. Mr. Jennings sold same
I through W. S. Andrews for SII,OOO.
100 acres of this farm were
i sold to Mr. Leslie for $6,500, 100
I acres to Mr. Bridges, of Dawson, Ga.,
for SII,OOO. Mr.' Jennings retains
149 acres of same. There have been
two nice residences and other build
| ings built on this farm. The entire
place would now bring $25,000.
The old R. R. Stewart Place, near
I Plains, of 1300 acres was divided and
j sold, 900 acres in 1910 to Mr. Cov
-1 ington, of Cleo, S. C., by W. S. An
! drews. He built a nice residence,
. large barn, put in deep well, im- .
; proved tenant houses. Mr. Coving
ton paid SIB,OOO for same, and
sold it in 1916 for $35,000. Dr.
I Evans now owns 440 acres of same
place, valued at $25,000.
200 acres north of Plains was
bought in 1915 by Mr. Peter Rogers,
■ of North Carolina for $5,500 and has
been sold by W. S. & W. M. An-
I drews twice since. Sold in 1918 for
SII,OOO to Mr. Cowart, of North
Carolina. Mr. Cowart now resides
on same and will improve same for
permanent home.
The Chadsey farm of 931 acres
I near DeSoto sold in 1916 for $22 per
* acre. This same farm was sold in
1918 to J. H. Hunt for $38,000. The
Terrell Land Co. bought 9700 acres
in 1915 for $22 per acre. W. S.
Andrews sold 660 acres of this farm
in 1919 for SSO per acre, and 1400
acres in 1916 to W. M. Humber. The
660 acre tract has been sold for $40,-
000 to Mr. John Statham. Mr. Ter
rell sold about 3000 acres in 1919
ranging in price from S4O to SSO per
per acre.
Lee County Lands did not keep

i 1917 for $26,000. Also sold Mr.
Walters 350 acres for Mr. Ansley.
W. S. & W. M. Andrews sold Hen
ry Wiggins 200 acres of land, where
i Mr. Wiggins now lives near the Tha-
I lean High School.
j The improvements made on the
' farm lands sold by W. S. Andrews
| and his associates would row cost
j about one million dollars. It is
I doubtful that if the same land had
remained in the hands of the original
owners, that the improvements
woudl have exceeded $200,000. When
. a man purchases a farm he almost
i invariably makes some improve
ments on same. The real estate men
are largely responsible for the won
derful increase in farm land values
■ of this section.
W. S. Andrews and his associates
i have induced many honest, indus
i trious and progressive farmers from
I North Georgia, South Carolina and
i other sections .to come here and buy
! land. The newcomers have been the
J balance of power in solving the la
i bor question in this section in the
I last few years. The same people
j have been a valuable factor in mak
: ing business of Americus prosperous
and other sections. The real estate
I people of Americus who have adver
i tised and induced the new settlers
to move here have been a very vaX
uable asset to this section. They f||
to be commended for their ever-aMCA
ing faith and persistent efforts dur
ing the period of depression, which
lasted for over three years. They
have repeated this good old story over
and over again until Sumter County
lands are being sought by farmers
from many other states. And out-of
, town people have at last realized that
’ the real estate doctrine is right.
