ARE BOUND SOUTH South’s Land Attracting Tide of Settlers. i ' 1 AND GEORGIA IS TO GET HER SHARE Americans Are Returning From Their Migration Into Canada- Many' Thousands ol Families Irom the North Will Settle In the South During the Next Fall and Winter- Laud Values Prove Attrbctlieei Migration fforri the central and northwestern parts of the country, • 1 1 ? .- Ufnntnmi' On n n >1 o in llin including Western Canada, to the Southern and Southeastern states is attracting the attention of the im migration authorities says a Wash ington dispatch. The Bureau of Immigration officials expect soon to receive a special report from Com missioner Clark at. Montreal bear ing on the subject of Cttnadiii.i im migration, including the return of Americans to this country, and pending receipt of that report de- clinij-to discuss the" matter for pub- iicrttiqn. A record-breaking migration in this (lirection occurred last year drawing upon the population- of the central states, especially Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Many of (i ,ese people went to South Georgia, Florida and Southern Alabama, Trend Is Southward. Reports are made of a number of colonizing companies that have been investigating available large tracts in various portions of the Gulf states during the past few ^months. A recent report to the . land and industrial department of the Southern Railway showed that since last May 60,000 acres of land in Southern Alabama had either been purchased or Was about to he obtained ' for Northwestern firms •nd corporations for locating sot- colony of Slovaks from Western Pennsylvania to .Southern Alabama. In Northeast Georgia there has been started the nucleus of acolonv from Northwest Canada. Individual farm ers from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are buying improved as well as wild lands in Virginia, the Carolines, Tennessee and Northern Alabama. Germans and Mennonite settlers are seeking homes in districts in the more northern portions of the South east section of the country. Learn ol South’s Value. The initiation of the campaign of education as to the character and low m iees of really good Southern lands as compared with land in the nower portions of the country and the big yields of wheat, corn and other crops and corresponding profi ts reported in many Southern dis tricts have led to the southward migration. The association of growers in the orchard and truck districts have called attention to the possibilities in fruit and general garden truck eulture. The work the Southern railways have been carrying on for a decade past is beginning to bear results and their reports indicate that many thousands of families from the North will settle in the South dur- next fall and winter. achievement is that of a No one man is hig enough to seriously cripple the industry of this great state of ours and that Hoke Smith was rerponsible fortlie economic conditions of two years ago almost any fair minded man will deny. Neither is Gov B.rown esponsible for the present condi tions. Nevertheless it is amusing the way some of the Ilokp Smith pacers are handing back the “med icine” in those sections where cot ton mills and other industries havo shut down on account of the high prices of raw materials. The Quit- man Advertiser is particularly ac tive in calling the attention of the idle cotton mill employees to Brown’s High Bread, and its argu ments are damaging proofs of the fallacy of the Bread theory as ad vanced by Brown’s supporters two years ago.—Camilla Enterprise. HALF A DOG FOR EVERY PAYER OF A POLL TAX Enormous Lot oi Dogs in Geor gia, According to the Tax Re turns. What would you think if some one were to tell you that actually for every poll taxpayer in the state thee is half a dog? Would you feel like pitching a bologna at some one’s head, or re moving the “bark” from all the trees in your neighborhood? Of course it is impossible to meet offhand a poll taxpayer and request the privilege of inspecting his half a dog, or to inquire if he has con cealed on his person a divided ca nine. It might not be safe. According to the tax returns coming in daily to the comptroller general’s office, there will approxi mately, if the returns continue in the same ratio as now (this is Cap tain “Tip” Harrison’s data), 150,- 000 dogs •seUivned for taxation, in the state of Georgia. There are in the state approxi mately 300,000 poll taxpayers, which makes half a dog to each. No exceptions or references are made to the size of the dogs. Friday’s dog report was ns fol lows: Chattooga county, 641 dogs; Talbot, 1,334 dogs; Madison, 1,471. The total tax’returns from Chat tooga county show an increase of $280,103 iu property values over last year. The total property re turned for taxation in that county is $3,184,040. Talbot county shows an increase of $78,937 over last year’s returns, with total taxable property of $1,- 617,499. Madison county’s increase is $237,39S and its total of property returned for taxation this year is $1,968,980. Of the counties heard from so far Walker shows the largest increase, which is $361,507. In relative increase, however, Milton has made the greatest strides, tho its increase in dollars and cents is much smaller than Walker’s. 'J he return of dogs for taxes now is consuming most interest, to sav the least of it.—Atlanta Georgian. There has been a complete change o front, politically, among the traveling men of the state. Two years ago a large majority of 1 hem were Brown supporters. This year they are for Hoke Smith and tho ratio is larger than in the last cam paign. —Cami 1 la Entornrise. * E a ■.* o When in town call around and let us put your name on The Progress’ mailing list.
