DuBOIS GA.
Diar NEws:—Sometime since
1 promised to send you a com
munication from this wiregrass
country, but thought best to wait
until I could get closer to things.
' All this country at no remote
geological period was the bottom
of the ocean, and now where
smile fair fields and cluster hust
ling towns and villages the sad
seawaves chanted a requiem to
Him who said in His own good
time ‘‘let the dry land appear.”
Upon the sands there sprang up a
growth of pines which in the
course of centuries stood lofty
gloomy and spectral, singing a
song of tender sadness as the
wanton breezes gambolled amid
the green branches of these
mighty monarchs of the forest
But man, the tool using animal
came and with his accustomed
greed for gain he tapped the trees
and they gave up their life blood,
and millions of gallons of Turpen
tine and naval store enriched his
pockets, and then came the saw
mills and Georgia pine lumber
became known and valued all
over the civilized world, The
original settler was a half nomadic
individual, owning a cabin and
living off the proceeds of his
flocks and herds of sheep and
cattle that roamed at will and
lived on the wiregrass that grew
luxuriantly everywhere. But a
new era dawned, and the farmer
for a song bought him a home
and began to cultivate the soil.
Railroads pierced this region and
now the lands once 50 ¢ and SI.OO
per acre brings readily SB.OO to
SIO.OO per acre, The possibilites
of the soil is marvelous. Lying
well, just rolling enough for
thorough drainage, and easy to
<ultivate, corn, cotton, peanuts,
potatoes, sugar cane, sorghum,
melons, tobacco and all the fruits
Krow to perfection, By judicious
management the soil can be;
brought up to such a high degree
® S.COHEN. %
of fertility thata bale of cotton,
forty bushels of corn,or 300 gal
lons of fine syrup can be produced
per acre. The cowpea, the poor
man'’s fertilizer finds here its con
genial home. The country is be
ing rapidly filled up with people
from middle Georgia and soon
lands will bring a much higher
price. The fence law does more
to hinder the sale of lands than
anything else, but these people
bitterly oppose it on the ground
that water cannot be had for
stock, and on the further but
less tenable ground that they
could not raise stock., One third
of Dodge county is lying com
mons where razor back hogs and
long keen cows roam supreme,.
The no fence law is boundto
come. The timber on numerous
places is at present insufficient to
fence the farms, Either that law
of no fence must obtain or the
farmer will be compelled to use
wire, which to be effective would
cost 125 per mile, The improve
‘ ments on most farms are shabby
Qm:xkes’nifts. The three boxed
cottage—the prevailing type.
'Strange that a people surrounded
by the best building material in
%l'.'.c world, should l¢t it vanish
without utilizing a portion of it
' for shelter, but such is a fact, and
stranger still the native did not
profit any by its sale,
Churches and schools are found
but not as with you. The Mis
siopary Baptist being in the ma.
jority, though the Christian,
Methodist, and Presbyterian have
a footing. Away back in the
rural regions there are a good
many Christian Scientests, and a
few Mormons. Aside from what
the State does for schools little
interest is taken in education.
The native piney woods inhabi.
tant taking very little interest in
having their children instructed.
Why right here in two miies of
Dubois are parents having 3o
children of school age, children
that are bright and eager to learn,

and yet their parents have bound
themselves by a solemn agree
,ment never to pay one cent from
their own pockets for tuition!
Uust think of it! So if the county
is insufficient to pay a good teach
‘er he must pass on and let some
fchcap John take his place. We
‘have a splendid County School
TCommissioner. and he is doing all
'in his power to improve the situ
‘ation, but his is a hard job. So
cially, the people are suspicious of
new comers and the young people
have few amusements, Sunday
School work in country churches
at a low ebb.
