Atlanta. EDITORIALS A Glorius Future For Southwest Georgia The Sunday papers announced the sale to Barron Collier,’ New York and Florida realtor, of Blue Springs, near Albany, and a mil lion-dollar development ihere. Friday and Saturday we were told of a two million-dollar real estate transfer at Valdosta, with others in the same vicinity includ ing the sale of a $25,000 home site in Valdosta. Quitman opens a big sub-division for sale this week. A land development corporation purchases more than 800 acres near Savannah at a price satisfactory,’’ but which the purchaser declines to divnlge. However, the Savannah Press says that farm lands are bringing SIOO an acre at resales in the same vicinity. Os the Quitman sub-division auction, the Free Press has this to say— The Free Press, along with ev- I ery other citizen of Quitman, is 1 very much interested in the ap- j proaching land sub-division auc- I tion which is scheduled for next i Wednesday. Sub-divisions have brought for- I tunes to people in Florida. It is I the modern and up-to-the-minute I way of handling real estate. If it I can be done successfully elsewhere, ! why not in Quitman? We hope there will be an im- , mense crowd at the land sale Wed- I nesday and that all whio go will ' carry along with them the thought I that it the sale is a success, it ' will mean the beginning poin. for i great development in this sect’on. i Much depends, as a matter of tact, I upon the spirit and interest of the > crowd next Wednesday. A writer in a recent issue of the Literary Digest says that the lines of immigration no longer are running East and West, but from .North to South. A movement greater than any iver before seen in America has darted with the trek Southward of people from every State in the Union. They are flocking into every State bordering on the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic. From the Far North west and the Far Northeast the tide is streaming Southward. i We are only witnessing the be ginning what is happening in Savannah, Quitman, Albany, Thomasville and • other South Georgia cities. The same thing is being repeated, in a more or less degree, in every State from Tex as to F lorida. It is an entirely different kind of migration to anything America has ever witnessed before. In the past men rushed to California to dig gold. Then it was the free lands of the West which attracted hundreds of thousands. Oil drew its hordes from every section. Each of these rushes of humanity were rushes for gold or land. It was a people seeking madly for a more profitable means of earn ing a living or accumulating wealth. The immigration Southward now is a different sort of thing, taken as a whole. People are seeking the comforts of a milder £!^ mate - They are pleasure bent. They aie looking for a means of earning their sustenance, yes; but a less rigid means than those practiced in the past. The early settlers sought, expected and found hardships, no comforts, dangers and often death. Those immigrants of today are being re ceived in hotels costing millions. Every sub-division has its bathing pools and golf courses. Paved roads must lead to and from it. There must be paved streets and sidewalks; schools and churches; sewers and running water. No hardships will be overcome by the modern emigrant. His is a search for comforts. I If he be a farmer in search of; lands, he demands every modern improvement, from running water and lectric lights, to screened porches and flower beds. But he is willing to pay. He has the cash and he knows what that cash will buy. The price does not matter so much as the COM FORT and improvements. The movement Southward is merely beginning now. It will continue steadily as the months ESTABLISHED 1879 A THOUGHT | Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they be ' placed alone in the midst of the ' earth.—lsa. 5:8. * * * The selfish man suffers more from his selfishness that he from whom that selfishness withholds some important benefit.—Emerson. i pass. I here will be a steadying, j The wild gambling in Florida will I cease, followed by a readjust ment. Fictitious values will fall I to their proper level, but there ' will be no great universal crash i of values over the South. The influx of people may rise and ! fall, but the South has come into J its own and it will hold what it , gets. With her millions to feed and ; i clothe and furnish with the com-; forts they are seeking, Florida | and other pleasure centers must j depend on such States as Georgia and Alabama and the other agri cultural States of Dixie. Tennes see will rank with Wisconsin as! a dairying and poultry producing state. The Carolinas will succeed the East as industrial States. And Georgia, nearer the center of this great horde of pleasure-seeking, 1 occupies probably the most fa vorable position of them all- |» Again will South Georgia be known as the grainery of a na tion. Her rich lands will supply foodstuffs for a population here tofore unheard of in the South. From her mines and mineral de posits great wealth will be accu mulated. Her industrials will draw capital and labor from oth er sections of the country. Her truckers will supply not only this oopulation in Georgia’s borders,> but all others who come to the South. Did ever a State possess a greater opportunity or a brighter future? Literally- this generation of Georgians holds the welfare of years to come in their hands to day. It is ours for the grasping, but we cannot sleep. In this great empire State there is no section with a finer outlook than Southwest Georgia. We are a bit nearer than other sections. We have lands just a bit richer. Our climate is more inviting, both winter and summer. That is known and appreciated and is proven by the investments that are becoming known daily ' throughout this Land of Promise. - As we have stated so often be f°re, Sumter county is in position to capitalize on this vast oppor !y. n ‘L y as are f ew other counties. , We have the finest system of rural ( schools in the State—or the South for that matter. The county has | been famous for her roads for years, and we are making more ; rapid progress in hard-surfacing these roads than other counties. We are blessed with an extreme ly high type of citizenship. We L*? OW of mob violence, j There is no abject poverty in the] community. Our lands are splen didly drained. The curse of ma-| laria has been eliminated- We have an abundance of water and hydro-electric linefc across the county. Crop failures are un known. Religious fanaticism and racial intolerance do not blot our good name. ' What more can be desired? What more is neded? Nothing but the will, the vision, the deter mination to capitalize on these splendid God-given assets. Hid under a bushel they are valueless. ■ Conscientiously exploited their I value is beyond human kin. 1 Organize and advertise. That should be our daily slo . gan and nightly dream. He who . is unwilling to aid is disloyal to his community and friends, a use s less, selfish citizen whose ab t sence should be more welcome . than his presence. r | if ¥ ¥ ¥ Observations— ' Caillaux insists that France | “conceded” more than the Unit- ■ ed States in the recent inconclu sive debt negotiations. That de pends on the point from which you measure “concessions ” If you take the American stand -1 ard that France should pay all she j borrowed, with interest at the ; same rate we pay to those from; I whom we borrowed it. then we ■ conceded about half the debt. If you take the popular French ' notion that France should pay nothing at all, then the French, I by offering to pay about a third, were making tremendous conces sions. The fact is that all the conces sion is made by us, no matter what the terms. If France does not pay all its debt, she should , at least acknowledge all of it, and regard any remission as a favor.

EDITORIALS !'■ W ImSJJ A Locomotive engineer dropped dead the other day and the train ran I on a distance afterwards ascertained to have been 15 miles before the fireman discovered what had happen ed and took his place at the throttle. Nothing happened and no harm was clone, except to the dead eng, neer. If the same thing had happen ed to an automobile driver disaster would have followed in less than a second. This illustrates a difference be tween the risks of automobiles and locomotive driving. And yet we will not let a man drive a locomotive un less he is demonstrated to be much more than an ordinary man. He must be experienced, skilled, tested, intelligent, responsible and sober. Anybody can get an automobile license who has the price of a sce ond-hand car. Many drivers could not qualify for a position as street car motorman, to say nothing of locomotive engineer. Few of them drop dead at the wheel, though even that sometimes happens. But many of them are dead, congenitally, in most of the quali fications of responsibility and cau tion. The wonder is that our streets are as safe as they are. It is only a few years ago that rags furnished the raw material for all the paper existence. Now the Bureau of Printing and Engraving is hard put to find en ough rags to make paper for the am ount of paper money needed. What once sufficed for books, news papers and correspondence is now in-ade quate for currency. Doubtless there are more words of printed paper put out every day now than there were in a year when THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Miss Elizabeth Harrold arrived at home yesterday after an extended Western Trip. The State Convention, Daughters of the Confederavy, at it’s annual convention in Macon closing yester day, selected Americus as it’s next place of meeting. Many of the old heroes of the six ities in Americus will attend the an nual reunion of the Fourth Georgia Regiment of Confederate Veterans to b held in the Court House in Macon, on the afternoon of Nov ember the Bth. After a pleasant visit of several days in Americus their former home, Mr and Mrs John Windsor have gone to Florida. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder, Oct. 29. 1895) It was with regret that the people: of Americus witnessed yesterday the departure of Rev. Robert Adams for six years pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Mr John D. Allen one the most prominent of Atlantas young busin ess men, is spending one or two days with relatives in Americus, his old home. The cotton market wwas a few points yesterday, and th e hope is expressed that it will continue until former prices are reached again. Col. and Mrs S. H. Hawkins and Miss Hawkins left yesterday for Atlanta and will spend several days. Capt. and Mrs H. D. Watts left yesterday for a week’s stay at the Exposition. our Constitution was adopted, or in a century when much of the great est literature in the world was pro duced. “Os making many books there •is no end,” wrote the Prophet, at a time when fewer books were pro duced in a century than are now put out in New York in an hour. We grind up whole forests of pa per, and run out rivers of ink. How much wiser are we? The sad thing about lots of people is they have no idea of what would make them happy. A ffIEE ® *** HAHH •i ph’htl i km ' Ouii OAUCMOE PcKytent coughs and colds lead to serie ■ trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo mulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and in hibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is rec ognized by high medical authorities as one of the gre 1 r t he ding agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is ab sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of tire trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac tory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respira tory diseases, and is excellent for build ing up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions Ask your druggist. Creo mulsion Company, Atlanta, Ga. (adv.) Two little youngsters stand out on the street, an’ they’re askin’ folks please to be still. Just like an officer, walkin’ his beat, ’cause their buddy’s inside—and he’s ill. They’re watchin’ and waitin’ an’ talkin’ real low, an’ they j peek in the house now and then. They feel that his gettin’ well’s draggin’ on slow, an’ they want him back with them again. The doctor approaches and greets both the boys, and he tells them there’s really no fear. “You fellows are helpin’ by stoppin’ all noise, and I’ll sure tell your buddy you’re here.” “Say, Doc,” comes reply, “do the best ya know how, ta help get our pal back in trim. Our football team’s waitin’ ta play, an’ somehow, we can’t get along without him.” Just two little youngsters stand out there alone, and watch, ’stead of havin’ their play. The home of their buddy’s a strict quiet l zone, ’cause the youngsters have made it that way. ¥ * ¥ If I were the youngster there, sick in bed. 1 feel that I’d find it quite hard, to find better friends, when it’s all done and said, than • the two little pals, standin’ guard. Impressing others is a waste of time. Those beneath you can’t look down on you. And these above you must. Most of us are physical cowards, but mental daredevils. We enjoy thinking things that hurt us. ——— 4 A woman can’t ask a man to marry her. But thot’s no hardship. A man can’t keep from asking one. It’s an awful world. But it could be worse. Just suppose you knew the truth about everything. Sending someone else to do a good deed is marked up against you only as a wasted opportunity. aS*' i > w'' -B, Hts lieports quirk retjpery from bruises and strain HURTS HIP 11 FALL FROM TREE Bruises and strain quickly helped by simple treatment ____________ p A simple home treatment, used at once, will greatly hasten recovery from bruises, strains, and sprains. Hundreds of people from all over he country have taken the trouble to write of the truly remarkable results they have got from using it. A young woman writes from Bush nell’s Basin, Monroe County, N. Y., that while she was picking cherries, the branch of the tree on which she ■ as standing, broke and gave her a bad fall. “I suffered agony,” she says, “but i used Sloan’s Liniment, and it re lieved the pain right away. Now I don’t feel it at all.” Sloan’s gets results ■ because it doesn’t just deaden pain; it gets at the cause. Right to the place that hurts it urings a healing stream of fresh blood. Quickly and surely it breaks up congestion, drives away pain. • So clean and easy to use, too. Get a bottle today.
