XXVI, NO. 122 CLEAN-UP SQUAD EX-SERVICE MEN HERE SATURDAY New York Spndicate Gomng Intol .Georgia To Develop Small Farms Pigs, peaches, and poultry, comfort-} able homes, 247 cropping days a year ample rainfall and convenient mark ¢ts are some of the pleasing features of the most recently launched enter prise for the development of the South through popularizing of the di versified crop movement, A New York syndicate known as ‘the Southern States Development Co,, has just been formed to develop farm lands in Coffee County, eGorgia, The syndicate which includes among its founders James C, Brady, Nicholas F. Brady, Frank Petitt, Frank M, Taft, and William V, Griffin of New York; Langbourne M. Williams of Richmond and William H, Barrett and Dixon F, Kirkland of Augusta, Ga, has purchased a 12,000 acre tract 150 miles from Augusta, running along the line of the Georgia and Florida railroad, Already ten homes have been built on the property as examples of the sort of dwellings which are to be fur nished by the syndicate, The houses are to be comfortable five or six room modern buildings, attractive in ap pearance and equipped so that life will be agreeable for the women folk and offer opportunities of pleasant family life, In addition to the dwell ing house each unit will have its barn or garage and other necessary out buildings for farming purposes, Each unit of the tract will contain about 120 acres of fertile land partial ly or wholly cleared. The farmers who are taking up the land will make an initial payment of $2,000 or $3,000 and will have ten years to pay*off the en tire purchase price of $7,500, Looking for Practical Farmers “eW are more interested at present in getting good farmers to. take up pjnits than in marketing our land,” 'said Mr, Petitt today, “We propose to go on with Southern development and we want this tract to be aken up by practrcal farmers, men who are ambiious and who will know how to use the great opportunities afforded by this fertile land and the ideal grow ing conditions to advantage, Goodl‘ farmers are bound to make moneyi down there and we want to see them make money, There is no better} land for pigs and poultry in the Uni ted States, although the Southern peo-| ple have never developed these possi-‘ bilities, The adaptability of this part of the country for the growing of melons, peaches and other fruits is of course well known, The right sort of people will appreciate the pleasant homes which will be made over to them and the fact that the land %&¢ cleared and ready for planting when it is turned over. They will be able to live comfortably from the first with olit waiting for years for the money to enlarge their houses or improve them to meet modern standards, “The South has always been in the hands of men who owned large plan tations containing from 20,000 to 30, 000 acres, They had no neighbors, and didn’t want any, grew cotton only and depended on negro workers, Now they wat to have the land occupied by farmers who will take up moder ate sized tracts and they are eager to get away from cotton as the stole crop, Last year the melon crop in that section of Georgia did a good deal to compensate for the losses from the cotton crop, so that they are willing o see something else tried in the neig hhorhood, Northerners Applying “eW are getting northern and west ern farmers more than Southern farm ers so far as applications for the units, A large number of Dunkards are among those who will take up the units, “I did not want it to be occupied by one sect only, but I find that the Dunkards are willing to have neigh ‘bors not of their sect and also that other people find it agreeable to live in the same community with the Dunk \\‘ards. They are excellent farmers, able and industrious and T believe thaht 60 per cent of the tract will be occupied by these people, some of whom are coming from California, We have alsc ‘had two applications from women farmers, I am informed that both of them are skilled agricultutists, ‘Other applicants come from factory .towns near New York, They have made a study of agriculture and feel ‘that they can find pleasant homes and ‘prospects of future prosperity in the ‘South, It is really remarkable haw many people are taking a great inter est in farming again, * " THe ract is 139 miles from Augusta “and only engmiles from Hazelhurst, “the county seat of Jeff Davis county, “The climate is excellent, ‘having an THE FITZGERALD LEADER i x o ® ‘U "’ - > 3 N . e < i o (.w“ﬂ Sty et sap e wr el Bo i K.

Parts of the broken pilot were foun’d scattered over a considerable area in front of the engine, the most distant being 429 feet east from the initial point of derailment, The axle and remaining wheel of the forward pair of wheels of the engine truck remain ed practically in place in the truck frame,~the left journal box being de troyed, The axle was found to have "a slight bend of about 5-Binch at the left journal bearing, The engine truck wheels were 28 inches in diameter, The forward pair were of cast iron made by the Southern Car Wheel Co., and each were cast June 6, 1921. The record produced by the railroad com pany shows that the wheels were put on the axle by the Atlanta, Birming ham and Atlantic Ry, C. at the Fitz gerald, Ga,, Shops between June 23 and- June 27th, 1921 and that.a max imum pressure of 50 tons was used in forcing them on, They were applied to engine 102 at Atlanta, Ga,, and Aug ust 11, 1921 and up to the time of the accident had made approximately 1, 400 miles. The end of the axle from which the wheel was detached bore slight tool marks but showed no other unusual indications, According .to statements of railway officials who were on the ground shortly after the accident oc curred the first r e-ke nade by the whee appeared on the ‘e ¢ hard er hankmem about +v fez+ above the zon of ‘te ruil and abo:. ¢ Cicet from ‘he mitial e nt of derudmen:, The secol mark appeared about 13 feet further on and nearer the top of the bank, Both marks appeared to have been made by the tread and flange of the wheel as if it had been rolling, At the top of the bank a flange mark could be traced in a semi-circle to the point where the wheel came to rest on its side about 50 feet from where it first reached the top of the bank, These marks seem to indicate that when the wheel left the journal it rolled on its edge in a diagonal line until it reached the top of the bank, The wheel bore no marks which would give any indi cation of the cause of the accident, Considerable evidence from persons living within a radius of 4 1-2 miles of the point of accident was introduced tending to show that the sound of an explosion was heard by them about 8:30 P, M, on the night of the accident, Conductor Ross of extra 102 stated that approaching the point of accident he was riding in the cupola of his caboose. The air brakes had been applied but when the train was about onc-half mile from the beginning of the ascending grade the brakes were released, At the time of the accident he estimates the speed of his train to have been between 15 and 20 miles per hour, The first indication of trouble which he received was the sound of an explosion from the for ward end of the train followed by four distinct jars, He looked at his watch immediately and found the time to be 8:30 P, M. He stated there was no exflosive in his train and that none of the freight cars were blown up, Brakeman Wilson stated that at the time of the accident he was riding on the fireman’s seat on the left side h , (Continued on Page 2) ‘ ENTERPRISE AND PRESS Home Town Paper Week Nov. 7 to 12 Every Four Corners has its Home Town week now-a-days, but all the boys and girls who have wandered from the Township Center cannot get back to enjoy the loved surroundingyy But all can subscribe to the old home town paper and thus keep well posted with the little spot they once called home, ‘ What joy to run over the school promotions and find that the tots of‘ a few years ago are moving highcr! and higher in scholastic circles andi eventually blossom forth as the ‘sweet giii graduatd or the cléan strongi boys discarding knickers, | | Just watch that hardened old city codger open up his home paper—it is the first thing he picks up out of his bunch of mail—and what can he find there to interest- him?

J. Spell it appears that Hayes and Spell had arguments over , pri vate affair from the time they started from the shops and when the train reached Gordon Street at which point it was most coavenient for Spell to reach home, he left the train and was followed by Hayes and Walker, whose homes-are east of the depot the stop ping point of the shop train, Walking along Gordon street, south, the contro versy continued between Hayes and Spell and came to the final end when strong epitaphs were applied to each other, Mr, Walker took no part in the difficulty but was present during the entire affair, O gt - Georgia Governor . .

Ma.age Business ATLANTA, Oct, 7—With the be ginning of the school year, which is, now well under way, it is evident that the educators of the South have caught the idea that education hereaiter shall not be exclusively theoretical, accord ing to leading Atlanta Educators.
