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. THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1926. l 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 De Franls Crane Says| e e :f .~ A e - ‘ : 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 : Old ‘World Charm Meets S 3 * .

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.

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.
