Terrell County Will Rank First
Ot all the counties in the State per sqlrare mile production of any of the Georgia .Big Four
crops—COTTON, CORN, PEANUTS, Etc. While Georgia ranks fourth in the Nation’s
agricultural values, Terrell ranks first in Georgia. | |
Don’t Delay---Come to Terrell' County Now
From Georgia’s (Governor
GEORGIA affords exceptional
and unusual opportunities to the
investment of intelligent, personal
effort, or of wisely placed capital
either or both. .
Without going into compari
sons, | may say it is my belief, bas
ed on a consideration of conditions
in Georgia and elsewhere in the
United States, that no section,
wheresoever located, offers better
advantages, either natural or artifi
cial, than Georgia has given and
will give today, to the man of energy
and determination.
Where you can merely scratch
our soil and get one dollar, you can
put a little capitaland energy into
it and get FIVE.
We have the mines enriched
by nature; you have only to come
and dig out the ore. Your return
will be commensurate with your in
vestment and intelligent effort.
Citizens from other sections
have come among us and made
many thousands—in some cases
even millions—from her power, her
fields, her mines and her forests.
Georgia invites you to COME.
HUGH M. DORSEY.

The Land of Opportunity
THE great industurial and agricultura! opportuni
ties present and future are in the South.
In this favored region are to be found all of the
fundamental factors of a greal industrial develop
ment: .
A climate that is not yrigorous in winter or
enervating in summer, where extreme cold and
heavy snows do not interfere with out-door work;
Soils that will produce abundantly the crops
of the North and West as well as those peculiar
to the South;
A vast variety of raw materials in great
abundance;
Water powers, developed and undeveloped,
and coal sufticient to last for centuries; ;
Growing local market in the many thriving
communities ;
Proximity to the great consuming centers
north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, and to the
South Atlantic and Gulf Ports. :
Adequate and efficient transportation by several
great railway systems;
A population in which nativée Americans of
Anglo-Saxon decent predominate to a greater ex
tent than in any other part of the United States and
where bolshevism and kindred revolutionary move
ments have made no headway.
The South is not content to be the producer of
raw materials to be shipped to other parts of the
United States and to Europe to be manufactured.
Such a condition could not permanently prevail in
the face of the economic_law that tends te draw
manufacturing industries to locations in proximity
to the sources of raw materials. y
This law is working for the development of the
great and varied industrial system in the South. One
after another the natural resources of the South have
become the foundations of Southern industries. At
first raw materials were generally put through only
the first processes of manufacturing in the South
and final processes of fitting them for the ultimate
consumer were done elsewhere. To a constantiy
increasing extent this is now being done in the South
and Southern industrial development in the future
will be increasing in the direction of complete man
ufacturing. :
There are abundant opportunities in the South
—in Georgia, in Terrell County—for a great variety
of industries, both in those indusiries using crude
materials and which use as their raw materials the
products of primary manufacturing. :
