TREMENDGUS PROGRESS MADE IN GEORGIA
DURING PAST FEW YEARS IN EVERY LINE
"'. By E. S,.SENTER, Jr.
Gemera! Agricuitural Agent, Atlanta
and West Point Railroad Co.
When one stops, reflects, analyses
and comparves the marvelous progress
that i being made in Georgia, there
seems reason for optimism. It is
troe that, in the past decade, we
have been confronted with innumer
able obsicles, but they have been,j
or are beiang, finally overcome.
W have had our many set-bachs-,“
panßce s have oen offered for our
~ilments. At the proper time, proper
remedy hi: been applied, to the end
hat Georpia is steadily forging
~head. = Qur economic pesition is
sound, both industrially and agrical
(arally. Georgia, probably, was
syer better fortified financially than
she is today. There appears to be
ample monies to take care of any
cmergencies that might arise. This
~as never better illustrated than at
‘he recent meeting in Atlanta when
. group of bankers from over the
state met with Mr. Eugene Meyer, in
conference, for the purpose of re-.
lieving the distress from over-pro
duetion of cotton.
Industriak and agricultural produc
tion are at high tide, the employment
situation is satisfactory, labor is well
paid and contented. ited
Eastern and northen capital are
awakening to the innumerable oppor
.unities offered them in Georgia for
sound investment and, to meet this
-Aax’ of capital for industrial de
velopment, the power companies are
making great strides in expanding
cacilities for electrical energy. Geor-
sin now has a developed horse-power
..f over 375,000 and a potential horse
power of, possibly, three-quarter mil
iion. This, linked up with the super
power system of the southeast, af
‘ords the manufacturers an ample
cupply of electrical energy, at reas
onable rates. The power companies
are to be commended for their inter
ost in rural electrification. |
In looking back over the twelve!
vea” period, 1914 to the present—
what do we find—a large increase in
spindles, there being in opeartion on
July 31st of the present year 170
cot‘on mills with an increase in pro
dv -tive spindles of more than 6 p'er‘
cc¢ .t In 1910, cotton mills in Geor
gie. ‘' were consuming about one-half
mi!l’on bales of cotton per annum.{
In 1925, the state’s cotton consump
tion had reached 997,942 bales. This
indicates that our mills are reaching
the point of cotton consumed almost
ecual to the state’s production. "
- Lil mills have increased their in
vesiad” ¢apital over ten'million dol-:
laz=! fertilizer plants over six mil
lion dollars; clay products plants over
eight million dollars; marble and
granite quarries over twelve million
d-ll.rs; electric power and lightf
plants in excess of one hundred mil-!
tirp dollars.
I» 1914 we were expending for
highways approximately four million
d liui's per annum, while there is now
beiig expended over fifteen million
dollors annually on road building.
T emendous progress has been|
mac A with diversification of crops,
as ychibited by recent figures thru
the” columns of “The Week.” It
wonld be difficult to estimate the
2ctwal increase in dollars and cents
fr . the effects of soil building and
tl.¢ increased production through the
placiing of leguminous crops. The
ic . has taken firm hold in Georgia
th:{ >conomic liberty to the farmers
¢an < nly be achieved through inten
¢ . cultivation ‘and fertilization,
thereby insuring increased production
Feriacre. Thousands of acres are be
ivge lavoted to pasturage, alfalfa and
¢ ner hay crops; dairying and poul
try is on & more stable basis than it
L .s' ver been. The farmers have
le #r¢d, through sad experience, that
t.etc is no relief from financial
¢ rain with a one-crop system; that
twe cnly avenue to financial gain is
t.ro.ch a balanced farming program,
raising their food requirements, sup
plving local demands and raising
§ m¢ cotton as a surplus crop.
Educational l
Cecrgla has made notable advance
ment along educational lines during‘
the past twelve years. It was only a
few years ago that the total number
of three and four-year accredited
high school graduates in Georgia
amounted to only 906. High schools
in Georgia Jast yea rturned out 8,646
graduates. Our colleges are all filled
with students. The State of Georgia
is jonly limited in educational ad
vascement by lack of additional fa
cilities In the various colleges. This
applies principally to our state insti
tutions. The Smith-Lever extension
work among farmers and farm wo
meh, the vocational high-schools in
th¢ various communities of the state
aid the farm extension work being
carired on by the colleges, has re
“gulted: in a. more, enlightened :Geor
“gie. to the. end that illiteracy has
przciically been stamped out. Coun
ty schools are fast getting on a nine
mon. s basis. Educational advance
ment is not lagging in Georgia.
Space forbids detaling the innu
merable instances of Georgia’s de
velopment and the many opportuni
tieg awaiting capital for safe and
sound investment in this grea tstate.
We are making progress and with a
population in excess of 8,000,000 in
telligent, literate and industrious in
‘habitants, with the greatest leaders
to be found in the world, why should
we not be optimistic?
ENGAGEMENT RINGS MAY
BE WORN BY MALE SEX,
A GROWING POPULAR FAD
Atlanta, Ga.—lt may be quite the
thing for prospective brides to pre
sent their fiances with an engage
ment ring after they have been asked
the fatal question that makes two
hearts beat as one, but Atlanta girls
have not yet fallen for the idea, ac
cording to Atlanta jewelers.
Large numbers of rings are bought
for men, it was stated by jewelers in
the Peachtree Arcade, Atlanta’s lit
tle city of shops, but the purchasers
I: re usually wives who want to give
their husbands a birthday present or
something of that sort, and if any
are sold as engagement rings, the
sween young things who buy them
should be given credit for keeping at
'least one secret, the jewelers say.
| Wedding rings for men, it was
)stated here, are being worn more
now than ever and many of these are
sold now. The rings, Arcade jewel
ers state, are in white gold and re
isemb]e those worn by the brides ex
cept that they are naturally larger
and heavier. Custom of men wear-l
ing wedding rings is growing in pop
ularity instead of becoming less pop
ular, it was pointed out here, and
wherever a group of men gather, one
may notice that a large number of
them wear wedding rings.
The new fad of engagement rings
for men, Atlanta jewelers state, was
introduced by the American National
Retail Jewelers Association and has
in many localities become popular, it
was learned. The rings which are
sold for the purpose are popular in
Atlanta and worn by a large number
of men, but they do not often indi
cate the status in the life of 'the
young men who wear them.
Building Activities To
Continue Thru Winter
Atlanta, Ga.—Winter construction
is finding' increasing favor with con
tractors. and builders. throughout the
‘entire country, whether they are en
gaged in the building of large office
or industrial buildings, erecting resi
dences or doing various repairs, ac
cording to G. Lloyd Preacher and
Company, Atlanta architects, who
lare + designing many buildings
throughout the south. This company
following its architiectural work on
school bujldings in many sections of
the state and south, was recently ap
pointed supervising architects of At
lanta’s new schools by city council.
The schools will be erected under pro
visions of a $3,600,000 bond issue.
The Preacher Company is of the
opinion that building operations in
Atlanta and throughout the south are
not scheduled for a let down this
winter, but htat the work that is al
ready under way or for which con
tracts have been let will keep work
' men busy regardless of a further ex
pansion of the-building program dur
ing the next few months.
The advantages of keeping the la
borers and hte' skilled* workmen of]
the building trades busy throughout
the year are many, it was stated
here, and this has contributed much
to the improved business conditions.
Juvenile Courts Will l
Aid the Delinquents
Atlanta, Ga.—Proper training and
character moulding of delinquent
boys and girls will result in better
citizenship and fewer criminals to
infest the communities of hte coun
try, in the opinion of Rev. Crawford
Jackson, general secretary of the ju
venile protective association of At
lanta, which is engaged in south-wide
activities affecting juvenile delin
quency.
Mr. Jackson calls attention to the
fact that improvement in juvenile de
linquency is noticeable in all sections
where juvenile courts are conduct
| ed.
“The work carried on by these
courts is far reaching in effecting an
improvement in the lives and charac
ters of children who never. had a
chance,” said Mr. Jackson. “The
discipline and treatment in these
courts bring to light a different view
of life to these children encouraging
them to strive for the best there is to
be gotten out of this world and to be
come law-abiding citizens of the fu
ture.” .
) The Juvenile Protective Associa
‘tion, now in its twenty-fifth year, to
|gether with other agencies, has been
instrumental in establishing juvenile
’south. Mr. Jackson shows that only
a small number of those who were
once in the juvenile courts ever get
into trouble again, while on the other
hand if these children were jailed
with hardened criminals they would
'probably follow a life of crime after
their release.
The Association in Atlanta is be
hind the movement to establish the
Junior Republic of the South, a big
institution for delinquent children.
It already owns a site of 103 acres
for the institution at Ben Hill, 14
miles from Atlanta. This property,
it is stated, will be tendered the gov
ernment in the event legislation now
proposed, is put through asking for
an appropriation for buildings. and
maintenance.

FOLKSTON TO ENTERTAIN
'GEORGIA MOTORCADE
DELEGATION ON NOV. 22
| (Charlton Herald) ,
~ Folkston, Ga., Nov. 11.—Novem
ber 22nd is going to be a red-letter
day in the history of Folkston. On
that occasion we throw open our
gates and welcome with acclaim a
motorcade from Atlanta down over
the Central Dixie Highway of over
a hundred cars, headed with Fitz
gerald’s 40-piece band.
Folkston celebrates on this occa
sion the completion of the paving all
the way from Waycross to Jackson
ville of the Central Dixie Highway—
Charlton county being the first in
Georgia to have the highway hard
surfaced all the way through the
county.
| Folkston also wishes to christen its
[n(.-w brick block, showing one of the
finest restaurants and two of the
x most complete stores a town of Folk
ston’s size can boast of. Incomplete
i are the most modern and stately bank
'and school buildings. The sign of
progress and stability is shown in
.every nook and corner and we want
our Georgia folks on the way to par
take of Florida’s hospitality and cele
brate our day—‘Georgia Day”—at
the Florida State Fair, to know that
the Georgia-Florida state line town
embodies the progressive spirit and
progress of both states. ‘
Secretary Gelders, of the Dixie
Highway Association, has promised
that the Motorcade will reach Folk
ston at one o’clock, Monday, Nov.
22nd, and that they will tarry for an
hour with us. Folkston will try with
her known arts to make that hour
live in the memory of every one pres
ent. :
Mr. Gelders reports that they ex
pect two hundred in the motorcade
and Folkston should add fifty more
to it. Let us show our Florida
friends that they have a live lot of
fellows on the Short Route.
Jacksonville - has invited all of
Georgia to be present at ‘“Georgia
Day,” and will entertain the night
before at the fair grounds. it
Folkston acts as host to all those
coming on the Motorcade over the
Central Dixie Highway.
Secretary Mallard of the Chamber
of Commerce, aeting in conjunction.
with T. W. Wrench, the executive
committeeman of the Central Dixie
Highway of Charlton, have the Folk
ston entertaining in hand and will
see that nothing is lacking to make
the day a success. Folkston will try
to impress upon the Georgians that
they believe in their: town, good
roads, good schools and churches, and
last but most important a progressive
and hospitable people. :
We shall speed them on their way
to a great fair and a profitable day
in Florida’s Metropolis.
Motor Busses Making
Inroads on Railways
Atlanta, Ga.—Executives in Atlan
ta today called attention to the fact
that railroads that have proved un
profitable are giving way to motor
truck transportation, and the tenden
cy_to replace rail lines that will not
pay, with motor transportation that is
less expensive, is growing through
out the country. ‘
“But motor transportation- cannot'
replace railway service except for‘
short hauls,” says a statement. ‘“Rail
ways always will have a field of their
own in linkink far corners of the
country.” :
NEVER, NEVER LAND
“Never Never Land”, the great
desert heart of Australia, so named
because. it never, never rains there,
has been penetrated and explored for
possible petroleum resources by a
party of American geogolists using a
Graham Brothers one-ton truck ac
cording to R. E. Allen, head of the
‘expedition, who has just returned to
the United States.
In a recital of experiences that for
oddity and interest compare with a
chapter from the Arabian Nights.
Allen expressed himself as being de
lighted at the completely satisfactory
performance of the one-ton Graham
Brothers truck employed as trans
port for the expedition. I was pre
pared for dependability,” he said,
having used Graham Brothers trucks
in oil field work before, but for the
exceptional performance of this truck
in rough country much the same as
Roy Chapman Andrews traversed in
the Gobi desert with his Dodge Broth
ers caravan, was truly remarkable.
“In 16 months,” Mr. Allen said,
“we traversed an area as large as
California, covering 22,000 miles in
all. Despite the heavy load of a ton
of gas, 20 gallons of oil and water,
and all food, bedding and equipment,
the sturdy truck carried on without
the slightest mechanical complaint,
teen miles to the English gallon of
petrol, and with petrol at 65 cents
]per gallon, this economy was an
| enormous saving factor.
LIFE’S MIRROR
Reflections by Panne
I have built my home
So high I cannot see
The struggling world outside
And yet I miss the beauty too.
1 have built my success
By stumbling over that of others
And now I am possessed by the
fear
Lest I too shall fall

: Selective Affection Is Best
The old dispute between true love
and any other kind of love dates back
as far as Wagner’s operas, and fur
ther.
Lord Lytton said something some
where to the effect that if a man truly
loves a woman all other women are
slightly distasteful to him.
There are two kinds of love in the
world—selective affection, and the
other kind.
i They can be distinguished as much
‘as anything else, by their associates.
~ Selective affection is the compan
ion of all the virtues. It goes with
‘honesty, honor, loyalty, and every
icommeudable characteristic.
' That affection that is felt for just
anybody is a law breaker. It makes
nothing but trouble.
Of course the greater includes the
jess, and selective affection may in
clude all manner of desire.
But there is something character
istic of true love that is essentially
different. from any old sort of love.
It is true love, that inspires and‘
actuates the greatest achievements,
not miscellaneous. attractions. .
The human race has experimented
AGRICULTURE HAS
The gross financial returns to agri
culture probably will not e far from
last year’s figures, the department of
agriculture sums up the agricultural
situation in its monthly report issued
today.
“Spring wheat and cotton are the
dark spots in the picture this fall,
and the apple inductry may also be
noted as sharply depressed by low
prices,” the report says.
“Except for some depression in the
territory of these crops, however, the
season winds up with about average
crop yields, and a probability of gross
financial returns not far from last
‘year.’s figures. {
. Discussing. the: cotton. situation; the
‘department says:
“The fall in cotton prices now fills
the headlines. Predictions. of the
same last spring were given scant no
tice. For four years the growers of
cotton have been doing just what
other producers do when business is
profitable—increasing production.
“In the last four yg;ars tne South
bas turned out approximately 50,
000,000 bales of cotton. During for
ty consecutive months beginning J uly
1922, the average farm price of cot
ton never went below 20 cents a
pound and much of that time it ex
ceeded 25 cents. Four good cotton
crops sold well enough so that grow
ers increased their acreage from 30,-
000,000 in 1921 to 47,000,000 acres
this year. - e :

a good many hundred years with va
rious kinds of affinities, and it is se
lective affinity that has stood the
test.
It is that which every young man
or woman feels with the advent of
the right mate. There is something
about it that excludes all other af
fections.
It is not enough to ask yourself
whether you are affectionate or not.
It is also necessary to inquire of your
self whether this affection is con
fined to one person. It is not any
sort of love that is the basis of the
right marriage, but it is loyal love,
and the more loyal one is, the great
er his love becomes. - e
l There is the same difference be
|tween true love and other kinds of
[love that there is between a flower
and weeds. One is a cultivated plant,
and it is that for which the garden
was made. - The other is an interloper
and does nothing but drain our re
!sources.
! One is an inspiration constantly,
but the other does nothing but leave
us bankrupt of desire.

| MRS. C. M. WEYMAN
The death of Mrs. Clemmie May
Weyman occurred in Jacksonville
Thursday after an illness of two
months and her remaing were brought
to this city, so long her home, for
burial.
‘Mrs. Weyman was born in 1858 in
Bloomer Prairie, Chippewa County,
Wisconsin. All of her early life was
spent in that place and her marriage
to Mr. F. 0. Weyman occurred there
in 1881. i
l Of this union were born five
lchildren, the death of a son occurring
before the coming of the family to
‘Fitzgera]d with the colonists in 1895.
In 1898 they lost their only daugh
ter, Mabel, at Jacksonville, where
they were residing for a time. The
sons, Merle, Fay and O. 8., known as
Marshall, were raised in this city and
their niece, Muriel Brill, now Mrs.
R. C. Pickens, whom they adopted
and gave their name, was from 1898
I.a part of the family. Mr. and Mrs.
Weyman were for many years con
sistent and helpful members of the
Christian church of this city. Mr.
Weyman's death occurred in August
1923, and since that time Mrs. Wey
man has spent considerable time out
of the city. Mr. Merle Weyman and
family are living in Detroit and were
unable to come to the funeral, also
0. B. could not be reached. Mrs. M.
E. Perkins, of Jacksonville Beach, a
sister, was the devoted attendant. of
Mrs. Weyman in her last illess. and
accompanied the remains to this city.
- The funeral services'‘were held ‘en
.Sunday afternoon at the Central
Christian Church, Rev. Bruce Nay
officiating and music was furnished
by a quartet choir composed of Mes
dames Joe Davis, J. E. Lobinger, and
Messrs Burr Stokes and Bruce Nay,
'Mrs. Parrot tbeing the pianist.
} A large and lovely array of flow
ers lined the chancel and covered the
casket. Their number attested in a
way the love and esteem of the many
friends made thru the years by the
kind and loyal nature that marked
the character of the deceased. The
W. R. C., of which Mrs. Weyman had
been a member were present in a
body to do her honor.
The interment was made in Ever
green Cemetery by the side of her
husband and daughter who preceded
her in death. .
The pall bearers were Messrs. C.
B. Lee, O. D. Lee, J. B. Russell, J.
E. Turner, J. C. Glover and C. A.
Newcomer.
HENRY A. OWENS l
A good, true man and citizen will
be missed by his family, his friends
and his community in the passing of
Mr. Henry A. Owens, on Tuesday
evening at his home on South Main
street. In failing health since last
February, Mr. Owens has been pros
trated for about two weeks with a
nervous breakdown. Hé has had the
loving ministrations of his devoted
family which consists of his bereav
ed wife and two daughters, Misses
Marjorie and Kathleen, in the home
and during the last few days was
‘added the presence of his daughter,
Mrs. Bertha Brazell and her daugh
ter, Geraldine Weaver, who came
from Miami to see him.
Mr. Owens was born in Indiana in
1857 and being early bereft of his
parents spent his early life with fos
ter parents . in .Ohio . and+ Michigan.
He married in 1882 and of this un
jon he had a son now deceased and a
daughter, now Mrs. Bertha Bragell,
of Miami: He was a widower for
some years, marrying Miss Eldred in
1893. Coming to Fitzgerald in 1900
their children, Leslie, Marjorie and
Kathleen were reared in this city, al
so their littie son,Don,who died in De
cember 1918. Mr. Leslie Owens is
'maflied and makes his home in Wil
‘mington, N. C. He arrived today in
time for his father’s funeral.
Mr. Owens was a ‘quiet man, self
-lefl’acing and - devoted to his family.
'He was a conscientious Christian ex
erting a good influence on those
‘within his small circle of contact. He
was for years a valued assistant of
Mr. Burr Stokes in the White Swan
Laundry. |
The funeral services are beingl
conducted this afternoon at the First
M. E. church of which Mr. Owens‘
was a consistent member. Rev. Mc-
Garity, the pastor, has charge. Love-‘
ly floral offerings lined the chancel
and covered the casket. The pall
bearers were Chief Wilkerson, Frank
Justice, C. A. Newcomer, C. Miller,
Alvin Brown and Ed Whitman. !
Winter Green Feed Very
Important for the Hens
If one has cabbages er mangels
stored In a cellar where they may
freeze, it often pays to keep a ther
mometer in the cellar and give it ad
ditional protection, or use a lantern
to bring up the temperature if the
mercury begins to stand close to 32
degrees. Frozen green feed is not
good for hens, and constant freezing
and thawing is not good for the keep
ing qualities of the feed.
Hens do not like rye grain, but they
will eat sprouted rye, and it seems to
be a satisfactory green feed. Sprouted
oats are generally used. If you make
a homemade grazin sprouter with
wooden trays, heated with a kerosene
fncubator lamp, be sure the fire risk
is not greater than the value of the
sprouted oats. In most cases, I think
the metal sprouters are a good In
vestment, because the fire risk is
greatly reduced. |
When mangels are sliced md'
thrown in the litter, they pick up more
or less dirt and straw. Cutting them
in halves and laying them in wooden
troughs may be a better way. Then
the heams can peck out the succulent
feed more readily than when the
pleces are half-buried in the littes.
Californians Coming
To Settle in Georgia
Atlanta, Ga.—Californians, fol
lowing the settlement in Geozi- of
native sons to enga"nin the poultry
business, . are ;said .to" be planning to
come to this state to entery various
farming activities. A r from
Alabama tolls of options being taken
on farm lands in that state for a ¢ol
ony of California truck farmers and
others are making close inquiries re
garding Georgie lands.
The truck farmers who are coming
from the “Golden West”, to the
“Land of Opportunity,” meaning
Georgia, are showing wisdom, accord
ing to F. A. Lyon, who recently mov
ed to Brunswick, Ga., from Califor
nia to establish a large poultry farm.
Mr. Lyons takes the position that
California has little, if anything, that
Georgia cannot provide to make
truck farming profitable and living
conditions satisfactory.
“The lure of the Far West has been
a strong one, especially for people
who imagined the Pacific Coast coun
try was a land flowing with milk and
honey, where life would be a con
tinual delight,” says a statement is
sued by the agricultural department
of the A. B. & A. railway. “Such
places are no teasilfodnuy; awGoth
places are not easily found; they are
‘hard to get and land is high on the
Pacific coast. Here in Georgia.the
truck farmers from the far west will
find one very decided advantage—
they will be within easy access of
the . great markets. of the . country,
whereas in California they were a
great distance ' from - them. This
should enable them to add to their
own profits and at the same time
produce things that can be sold to
the consumer for less price, because
the freight cost will be ‘much-less.”
Agricultural leaders here declare
that the old advice, “Go West Young
Man,” was changed some years ago
to “Go South,” and thousands of peo
ple in the north and east who have
become dissatisfied in their home
states are coming to the south and
finding it the place they have been
seeking.
