EASTMAN. Oa.. Dec. 3.—One of
wiregrosii Georgla’a modern and sub
stantial young cities is Eastman, the
metropolis and county seat of the pro-
RressiveX productive and prosperous
county of Dodge In which the develop
ment of Its magnlllcent agricultural re
sources has been rapid nnd extensive,
placing It In the front rank of South
Georgia counties. Eastman will rank
among the best and most progressive
towns In the state. In wealth pnd en
terprise, In morals and Intelligence It
rates as Fifth ar any city of Its age In
Georgia. Its history dates back about
thirty-three years and Its growth has
been steady and substantial. Begin
ning as a rough saw mill town when
the Macon and Brunswick railroad,
later absorbed by the Southern, was
built through this sectlonf becoming
the county seat when the new county
of Dodge was organised in 18ft, grow
ing and improving as the country de
veloped, building up on modern lines
until toddy it is an up to date city of
nearly '.’.OOn population, with seventy-
live business, financial and Industrial
concerns, and the largest trade of any
town of Its slse In wlregrnss Georgia,
jf which more will be said further on.
Eastman was named In honor of
William Pitt Eastman, who come to
this section from New England soon
ifter the close of the civil wnr ns rep-
.•esentntlve of the old Georgia I.and
and Lumber Compnny. more commonly
known as the "Dodge Company." which
concern owned extensive tracts of land
throughout this section. Mr. Eastman
became a resident of the town and It
was his home up to his death a few
years ago.
Dodge county was organised In 1871
ns a new county made from portions of
Telfair. Pulaski end Lanrrnx. It was
given ihe name of Dodge In hnnpr. of
William E. Dodge of New York, who
was then at the head of the company
owning the lands of the old Georgia
I.and and Lumber Company. He was
at one time a member of congress from
New York city and head of the large
Importing house of Dodge, Phelps &
Co. In appreciation of the county re
ceiving his name, he donated the court
house to the new county, which stands
today, one of the best frame buildings
of the kind In the state and Is good
for years to come, unless the fu’Wes-
ctve cltlxens of Dodge county decide
to build a er.inre modern brick struc
ture. In keeping with the spirit of the
times In South Georgia.
Eastman has a citizenship which as
sures the continued growth of the city
on progressive nnd substantial lines.
The enterprising business and profes
sional men are not In the habit of neg
lecting opportunities for the develop
ment of the town's splendid resources
and for the general advancement and
betterment of the community. They
not only pull together, .combining their
means and energies for the material
upbuilding of the town, but look with
commendable care to the moral and In
tellectual development making East
man a model city, commercially, mor
ally and educationally. No town of
equal population In the state has 'more
hsndsome homes and modern business
Ileuses than Eastman, and much atten
tion Is given to social affairs, which
makes it a city of pleasant homes as
•ell ,1» handsome dwellings. There are
few communities where the pleasant
social functions enter Into the dally
life of the town with such ensy form,
which lightens the burdens of the biisl-
ness man and adds greatly to tho
plenums of life generally, making East
man a most desirable place of resi
dence.
Eastman In a town that has kept
abreast of the times In business. In mu
nicipal facilities und improvements. In
education nnd in moral nnd social ad
vancement. Its business men, mer
chants. bankers and capitalists, are
rated high as men of enterprise, abil
ity and Integrity. Many of the busi
ness men an drapitnllsts came here
without means when tho town was but
1, rough village and the country unde
reloped. By diligence and hlghtoned
business methods they have succeeded,
building up and expanding their trade
and patronage as the country devel
oped. They have seen Eastman grow
from a plab town thirty years ago to a
modern city of morals, wealth and ed
ucation. nnd their business develop
from small beginnings In rough shneks
to the largest mercantile establish
ments In South Georgia, In commodi
ous modern brick structures. And they
have seen the surrounding country de
velop from a pine wilderness Into one
of the finest agricultural communities
In the state, when the farmers are in
telligent, progressive and prosperous.
A First Class Market Town.
A first class market town In an agri
cultural section is a convenience of no
small consideration, where the farmers
can dispose of their surplus products
at their highest market values, and
purchase their supplies and necessa
ries of life to the best advantage. Huch
a town Is Eastman, with up to date
stores, carrying stocks that would
compare most favorably with similar
establishments In the larger towns. *m-
bracing every article of home or farm
use, needed by the people of this *ec-
“ m of country. It Is no longer neces-
ry for the people of this community
to send to other markets for any arti
cle of merchandise, farm Implements
or supplies of any kind, as the enter-
fffislng merchants of Kastman sell
practically^ everything, competing In
price and quality with all markets. The
old system is a thing of the past, by
which the farmers did business
through the cotton factors In Mn^on
and Savannah, obtaining advances im.
supplies through them and shipping
them cotton in the fall. Now if a far
mer needs advances or supplies for
himself or tenants, the merchants nnd
bankers of Eastman are amply pre
pared to accommodate him on as fa
vorable terms as he could obtain in
any market.
Eastman’s Commercial and Industrial
Importance.
The amount of business transacted
annually in Eastman, probably exceeds
that of any town of equal population
In South Georgia. Its trading territo
ry embraces one of the most produc
tive and prosperous sections In the
state, and Its manufacturing industries
add largely to the commercial Impor
tanoe of the town.
Up to date this season the cotton re
ceipts amount to'about 10,000 bales,
and it I*•estimated that the close o
the season will show receipts in ex
cess of 12.000 bales. This cotton comes
from Dodge and portions of Pulaski
nnd Laurens counties, Eastman's reg
ular territory. Besides cotton, East
man ships naval stores, cotton seed
products, creosote, fertilizers npd lum
ber. At nn early date cotton goods
'(’111 be among the munufnetured pro
ducts shipped from Eastman. A large
cotton mill recently erected is only
awaiting the installment of certain
machinery to begin operations. This
mill, like Eastman’s other industrial
and financial enterprises, was estab
lished with'home capital. It will give
employment to several hundred people,
which will add materially to the trade
and population of the city.
Kastman has a large cotton oil mill
which manufactures all kinds of cotton
seed products and a fertilizer factory
will he added by Jnnuary, which will
supply, the farmers of this section with
high grade fertilizers.
One of the first creosote plants erect
ed In- the state was established at
Eastman. Creosote and other producta
manufactured from lightwood
stumps.
There is a navnl stores plant In
town, manufacturing and shipping na
val stores. There are also variety
works, ginneries, grist mill, buggy and
wagon repair shops. These various in
dustries give employment to a! consid
erable number of people and ndd large
ly to the trado and commerce of the
town.
Kastman has two banks, the Citizen
Banking Company and the Merchnnts
nnd Farmers, both of which are strong
Institutions, with ample capital and
banking facilities and their officers and
directorates are conservative business
men of experience and ability. The
amount of business bandied by these
banks Is large and continually increas
ing.
There are three cotton warehouses
handling and doing a general ware
house business. These are all modem
brick structures. There are a number
of first class mercantile establishments
which carry stocks of general mer
chandise, second to none In middle or
South Georgia, an will he seen In the
list of business concerns further on In
this nrticlo. No town of Its size In the
state has finer retail stores than East
man. They are up to date.
Eastman’s Churches and Lodges*
I’M m tin an has seven churches, of
which four are wh’te and three col,
ored. There are Methodist, Baptist,
Christian and Presbyterian ohurcHen,
commodious, modern buildings and
flourishing memberships. Hervlres
and Sunday schools are held regularly
and the churches are liberally sup
ported by the people generally. Epis
copal ministers also hold services In
tho city.
There are Knights of Pythias and
Musonlc lodges, both in prosperous
condition. The Masonic lodge has a
large membership and a two-story
brick building centrally located, valued
at $5,000. Dr. J. B. Clark Is worship
ful master and Judge C. It. Murrell
secretary.
Eastman Publio school.
In regard to educational advantages,
Eastman 1« up with the times in a
thoroughly modern school build'ng,
fixtures and appliances.
The Eastman public school was
established by an act of the legisla
ture In It is maintained by Its
pro rata share of the general school
fund, which is supplemented by a fund
raised by municipal taxation. It Is a
graded school, having eleven grades,
which are strictly maintained, and it
in one of the Htate L f n*verslty's
credited schools. Tuition In free to
resident pupils, except a matriculation
fee of $2. Non-residents pay an en
trance fee of $2 and $1 per month tui
tion. The faculty consists of Profes
sor R C. Barrett, principal, and eight
assistant teachers. Under Professor
Barrett's administration the school
is being built up and improved,
is a native of Moore county. North
Carolina, and haa been here two years.
After graduating at Wake Forest. N.
C., in UCt, be attended the normal
schools of the Univers'ty of North
Carolina nnd University of Chicago.
The Kastman public school building
Is a hnndsomo and commodious brick
structure, built In accordance with
tyvnltary rules and equipped with
modern furniture, fixtures and appli
ances. It is favornhly located, occu
pying nn elevated plat with ample
campus.
A graduate of this school In well
equipped for a htuifness career, or
thoroughly prepared ‘'to tutor the
standard colleges.
A Healthy Town and Up-to-Datd Fa-
oil (ties*
From a sanitary point of view East
man Is surpassed by few towns in tho
pine belt of Georgia. It is situated In
naturally healthy section, tho cli
mate lr salubrious, the natural dr.”In
ge first-class nnd the water pure.
The city has an artesian well which
affords an ample supply of pure,
health-giving water, which Is fur
nished every section of the city by a
modern waterworks system built by
the city n few years ago. Himltnry
measures have been adopted and are
strictly enforced by the municipal au
thorities, which Insures the good
health of the people, and for the past
several years Kastman's health record
is surpassed by few towns In Georgia.
Eastman’s streets are illuminated by
electricity. The town owns an electric
light plant which furnishes first-class
lights for all parts of ths city at rea
sonable rates.
Eastman's New Railroad.
Ever since Kastman became a town
of commercial Importance It has been
handicapped by lack of transportation
facilities. Its freight rntea have been
higher thnn any other point of im
portance in this part of the state.
Having only one road. It was forced to
take whatever the road was disposed
to give, consequently it was hampered
by high rates. Notwithstanding this
heavy disadvantage, the town built
up and prospered by reason of its
splendid resources gnd the public
spirit of its citizenship.
But the days of high rates for East
man are In the past. The building of
the Dublin nnd Southwestern railroad
will insure fair rates of transportation
for the town. Within two months this
road will be running trains Into East
man from Dublin, where It will have
connections with the Oentrnl of Geor
gia, the Macon. Dublin and Savannah
and the Wrlghtsvllle and Tennllle.
This new road Is completed and Is op
erating trains to a point within a
dozen miles of Kastmafi and the grad
ing between that point and Eastman
Is about completed. ,. ' % .
The Dublin and Southwestern was
projected by Mr. Rerits. a capitalist
and saw mill operator of Dublin. The
citizens of Kastman subscribed a large
amount of stock In the road tn order
to secure it for the town. Tho road
will be extended to points fit south
Georgia, probably going, through Cor-
dek» and other important towns. It
opens up some magnificent agricul
tural 'lands between Eastman and
Dublin In Dodge and Lauren* coun
ties. which doubtless WJU be rapidly
developed. thereby /xjinrling the
trade of Kastman. This road meartr
much for Kastman, It will lift from
the town the grdat burden of high
freight rates, [.lacing It on an equal
footing with neighboring points as a
commercial and industrial center, nnd
also open u;» new territory to Increase
Its trade. By the building of this
road# Kastman’s prospect* have ad
vanced In pro;>ortlon to the Increased
resource- and advantages developed
by the road.
Dodge County—A Magnif.'ctnt Agricul
tural Section—Splendid Farming and
Prosperous Farmers.
The great avr'y Dodge Is a ver
itable garden . pot la the wfregruh**
country. It is a mrrirrr»nfty of splen
did farming a d pr emus farmers,
of productive I. rwJs.’A pleasant and sa
lubrious cP.rrat*. Ft ts a section of
unsurpassed rerrarct«, of diversified
products—n section liberally and pro
fusely favored by nature, where the
husbandman with easy efforts obtains
generous results, nnd where tho cli
mate Is comparatively equable find to
tal crop failures are unknown. Hnld a
Northerner the other day, "It Is Impos
sible to fully realize thd advantages
and resources of this section unless
one bad lived In a section Ii^h favored
by nature In climate and Poll, when
the products are limited In variety and
outdoor work Is practicable only n few
months In the year owing to the sever
ity of the winter season." Here work
in the open air can be carried on In all
seasons wlthnft climatic hindrance or
Inconvenience.
The isisslbllltles of this magnificent
section are truly great and to describe
them would stagger the belief of even
mnny who have lived here a Ufa time,
fanning by the ordinary methods. To
estimate tho result by the Intensive
system, where the yield Is rdKted to
the full capacity, of the soil by heavy
fertilization, would he discredited by
old and prosperous farmers who have
followed the old methods. The soil of
Dodge county Is capable of great
things. Naturally productive, It In ca
pable of improvement to a high degree
of fertility. Practically everything that
grows out of the ground can be pro
duced here profitably. A farmer carl
be more Independent here of the out
side world, probably, than In any other
part of the civilized globe. He can live
like a lord on the products of his own
farm. This was demonstrated during
the civil war, when by reason of Uncle
Abe’s strict blockade, nil kinds of
munufnctrrcd articles, medicines, cof
fee. tea, iron and steel products, were
kept out of the country. The people
lived well on the products of the farms
and dressed comfortably on the cloth
ing from the hand looms of the patri
otic Indies whose deft bends turned
out substantial nnd In many coses,
beautiful material for clothing. Had
the blockade contlnhed a few years
longer, these thrifty and Intelligent In
dies would have become expert weav
ers of beautiful fabrics, Indeed, many
had already become experts In the
manufacture of fine cloth, while the
men, or what wan left of them, for the
flower of the country was at the front
under I#ee and Johnston, with the aid
of the faithful and trusted staves, cur
ried on the work on the plantations
with tools and Implements of home
manufacture lly the time the
closed the people of this reel Ion were
living entirely on their own product
the country was on a "home-made’'
basis. It was during this, period that
the enterprising spirit of the Georgia
cracker was lev**lo|*e«l. No one
thought of giving up because of the
lack of the manufactured necessaries
of life. Including tools and Implement*.
Where such articles were needed, there
was always some one with genius nnd
enterprise sufficient to find n way to
supply them, or to rig up substitutes
with which work could be carried on.
In those days there was scarcely any
thing manufactured in the South and
the Southern people were dependent
on the North and on England for all
manufactured articles of every day u*e.
Including mm hlnery. tools, implements,
etc, so that ..hen the shipment and
importation of all kinds of merchandise
was barred by the blockade established
cod strictly maintained by the Union
author'd*", the South was thrown on
in •
D’»d'.;c
(f-iinty today Is one of tho
ludlve and progressive coun
ties hi the state. In no section are
tl»'» 1-truer* more enterprising and sclf-
*u»ta#ning and In no other part of the
country can the farmers obtain more
profitable result* from such easy ef
forts, Nor can any other section
show more general prosperity and con
tentment among the urban citizenship.
The firmer* are few In Dodgs who do
their own provisions, such as
n. syrup, etr.. In plenty. A
great many raise meat, corn and other
products for sale. Of thirty odd prom-
lot pise
tnent farmers interviewed by the wri
ter, there was not a single one who did
not raise abundance of supplies to run
his farm and \ majority mined meat
and other provision crops to sell.
The secret of die general prosperity
of the agricultural population of Dodge
county Is the diversified system of
fnrmhig which they have adopted nnd
maintained. In pitching their crops
they provide for ample food and for
age crops, making cotton practically a
surplus crop. By. following this sys
tem they have no big bills to* pay In
tho fall for Western meat, hay nnd
grain, consequently they have money
ahead when they sell their cotton.
Among the well to do and prosper
ous fanners of Dodgo county are many
who came hero a few years ago from
tho Carolina* and North Georgia with
out enpltnl. They came when land
could be purchased nt comparatively
low values and on ensy terms nnd be
gan farming on u small scale, enlarg
ing their farms ns they prospered.
Many of these farmers were interview
ed nnd without exception they have
prospered. Home said there wns not
a year they had not made money, re(
gurdles* of the price of cotton nnd not
one could be found who was not ex
ceedingly well pleased with this sec
tion. These former North Georgians
and Carolinians any they can cultivate
their crops here with two-thirds of the
labor and expense required In their old
sections and Unit crops are less Injured
by drouth. The farmers of Dodge
nmtee nn average of ten bales of cotton
to the plow, with ample provision am!
forage crops and pens, potatoes,
icroundpeas, etc., for raising meat,
This was the average yield of twenty-
five farms Investigated. Individual
furmers made as high as 21 hales to
tho plow with nbumlant food crops.
Dodge county's exhibit of farm pro
ducts took a prize nt the recent Htate
Fair, though It was gathered hastily
nnd nt random among tile farmers of
one neighborhood by Mr. Paul, onf of
the county’s best farmers. After the
fair had opened Mr. Paul secured this
exhibit, having only a day or two In
which to do the work. It Is believe*!
by many that a more extensive exhibit
of Dodge county's products would have
carried off the first prize. All that Is
necessary for this splendid county to
capture the big prize next year is
milted and timely effort on the part of
tho progressive farmers of Dodge.
