X Few Good Suggestions
FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE CIT
IZENS OF THE MAGIC CltY.
. It vu once said that a sound econ
omy was a sound understand mg
brought into action. It is calculation
realised; it is the doctrine of propor
tion reduced to practice; It is foresee 1
ing contingencies and . providing
against them; it is expecting contm.
gencies and being prepared for them.
Are the people of Waycross doing
enough thinking just at this time?
And, if so. are they sixing np the situ
ation confronting them correctly and
preparing for the contingencies? The
writer of these thoughts is in no
sense an alarmist and would regret to
say anything that could be construed
as making him seem to be one. He is
a person, however, sometimes given to
thinking, and has simply concluded to
express himself loud enough to be
heard by a few others and see if in
this gentl^ way he cannot to this ex
tent ask others to look at the picture
and see it they behold it as he doea
Now, to the subject on the mind of
the writer. Have we begun yet to
fully realize that the timber, once the
mainstay of this section, has practl<
cally all been cut and is now almost
only a memory, and we must look for
some othe/product of revenue to take
its place. This we not only must, but
are compelled to do. or retrograde;
and decline would-be a feeble term in
which to express what Will befall us.
I almost hear you say, “We have
already in a silent way been thinking
of what you have said." If you do say
it, it js high time you quit thinking so
quietly and go to talking and acting
so as to stir the same sentiment in
others about you. “Well,’’ you say,
“I would, but I do not know what to
say or what -uggestion to make." This
stems to be the trouble all along the
line We, too, feel our inability to
ccpe in detail with the situation, but
having had the matter impressing it
self on us so much recently, have de
cided tojbreak the ice, as it were, and
try to invite an awakening, and if
possible help In this way. There can
scarcely be but'one solution, and it is
for us to erect factories in our city
and invite all who art inclined to
help on this line—but above and be
yond the factory is the devolopment of
our section from an agricultural point
of view. We must find settlers for our
waste lands, and in this way build up
and replace what we have sustained in
the loss of our timber. We can do
this, and must, because it is our only
salvation. We cannot do it, however,
unless we ar4 intensely in earnest
about it, and I do not see why we can
not be deeply and profoundly in earn-
e-t; and you will if you are loyal to
your town, and more espeeiallv later
on when you get in tbs fix of the man
digging for the gopher—have to do it.
There seemed, a few months ago, to
be a bright future for South Georgia,
and there exists no good reason why
such should not be the idea now. But
somehow or other there appears to be
a lull all along the line, and Waycross
and Ware county in particular have
swul'owed their share of this apa
thetic spirit. True, we have made a
few happy -ports occasionally, but we
drop so quickly and quit the tight too
easily. We must press forward and
all pull together, and all will he well.
Unleaa we do tbia, however, trouble is
ahead, and don’t be mistaken in be
lieving to the contrary. If we had a
Moses or a man to take the initiative
(and it would be hard to get one to
aingle himself oat as the msn, and if
be dtd,doubtlcsa he would have trouble
in making others see hie genius), to
push this question we could make
Waycroea and the surrounding country
what it should be. If this one man
could have a committee composed of
fifty of the best business men of the
town and farmer* of the county, and
let them meet and discuss plans for
the development 1 of our city and
county, and keep thie organization up
and get our people enthused to a sense
of oar dnty, we would soon see a dif
ferent state of affairs to what we now
have. You may say you do not believe
in enthusiasm. Well, if you don't,
you had better keep quiet and say
nothing about what you think, aud
thereby hurt yourself aud do others
as little harm as possible.
The writer of this article feels in no
sense fitted to act or take the initia
tive in the suggestions here thrown
out, but has expressed himcelf with
the hope that we will all come to a
realizing sense of our duty, and to
this end he Invites others to reflect
and express Jtheroselvos. Let us'go to
work and build up Waycross and Ware
county. It can be dote if we go to
work on the right lines. We have the
undeveloped resources to start off
with. Speak out t
myft Respectfully,
- WILL D. THINK.
