| The sand is the chief material
used in making a new tile or substi

called amalgalith by the owner of
the formula by which the tile is made.
Amalgalith is certainly a wonderful
produpt, and tests made with the sam

future.
Amalgalith resembles very much
marble aiid granite. In fact. It can
be made to resemble anything used in

We wish to call the particular at
tention of our readers to the advar-
tisement of the Georgia Loan & In
vestment Company, Tifton, Ga., which
appears in this issue. There is no
manner of doubt but that they have
the ideal plan for a man in ordinary
circumstances who wishes to obtain
a home for his family In tho easiest
possible way. Any man who really
wants a home and is willing to make
little effort In order to obtain one
will do well to get the co-operation
of this groat company. He has noth
ing to lose and all to gain.
This is the largest company of its
kind that is operating on this plan
In Amerca today, they have a capital

thirty thousand before the street Kill-
way enterprise can bold out much
promise. I have on several occasions
endeavored to a&eic,t in the sale ot
bonds of street railway properties in
cities of about the si>:e of Waycross,
aiih I havo never yet been able to
find a banker or investor who is will
ing to buy thorn. Their invariable re
ply is that the town Is too small. A
street railway in Waycross will moan
a great deal to the city and citir 311s
of-Wnycross. ft will add very large
ly to the values of ail the lands with
in reach ot servicS by the street rail
road; it will vastly increase thcr^ax-
able values of the properties; It will
, be of enormous advertising value to
j Waycross as a city as a whole and
will Increase its' prestige and hav.
j wondorful Influence on Ha present
J standing and future growth.
I On the other hand, tho people who
j build it aro taking a great deal ct
! risk and if It should prove profitable
they ought to be entitled to that
profit. When your street railroad
has once boen built there Is no pro
vision in law for you to abandon it,
you have got to continue to operate
it, whether it U profitable or not.;
