years to attain.
As evidence of our determination to give Americus not
only a better p^per, but the best paper it b possible to give the
people, it may be mentioned that every cent received during
the year has gone into the business—much for new land addi
tional equipment for the plant—and that this policy will con
tinue for several years to come, until a point of size and per
fection comparable to the best dailies in the South has been
reached.
The determination to do this has been bom of an un
faltering faith in tho future of Americus and Sumter coun
ty. Already a good town and county to start with, the
past year has seen some wonderful strides in development and
the future holds still greater things. Since the present man
agement took charge of Tho Times-Recorder, they have seen
what many of the best and oldest citizens declare to have been
the very greatest and best move ever made by Sumter county
taken—and are proud to have had some small part in the tak
ing of that step. The decision of the voters'of the county to
issue a half million dollars of bonds to match an equal amount
of government money for the paving of the mail rural highways
in the county is, of course, meant. The wisdom and importance
of this decision will not be fully apparent for some time to come,
but will bring a great harvest in due season.
Among these and other steps in community progress dur
ing the year may be mentioned:
The successful launching of a movement for the erection
of a live stock packing house with a capacity for handling a mil
lion dollars worth' of hogs per month, which money will go
largely to the farmers of this community. This movement, now
in the process of formation, promises early fruition.
Ground cleared and, plans completd for the erction of a
modern theater to cost more than $100,000.
The enlargement of the local ice factory to a capacity
sufficient to handle four times as many peaches here as were
shipped last season, owing to the new orchards coming into
bearing.
The actual beginning or arranging for many thousands of
dollars worth of miscellaneous building, including both busi
ness houses and dwellings.
And the construction of a handsome and commodious
new home for The Times-Recorder, which, with some new equip
ment—and more to follow—'will be occupied about January I.
Despite the turmoil in the world at large, a short cotton
crop and short labor in South Georgia, this has been a very
good year for most of us. What has been lost to the boll weevil
and the wet weather has been made up to some extent by better
prices for cotton. And there have been good prices for every
thing we have had to sell.

MACON, CEORCIA
But we are entering a greater and more glorious era than
many of us hope and few off us expect. The clouds of indus
trial fanaticism, will soon be rapidly disappearing—there are
signs of that now. And we shall have a better, a more tranquil
and a more just world for tho turmoil. But; while the whole
of. the world will be bpjter off. as it emerges from the coils that
have gripped it, our Southland is already particularly in the spot
light, and is destined Wa place that no other section can hence
forth enjoy. Tho South for the first time is coming intp its
own. And. of course, with the South, must come Americus and
Sumter county, favorably situated as the garden spot of the
South, and already developed to a point!* which other sections
will be some time yet in reaching.
Last spring the peach men who come South every season*
gave it as their opinion that within ten years Americus would be
the peach center of Georgia; the orchards are moving south
from Fort Valley, they said, because the land must be "rested"
from peaches after continual culture for a considerable period.
Already we are going into the peach industry on a scale that
gives their prophecy substance. •
In three years Georgia has leaped from last place jn hog
production, and the importation of millions of pounds of pork
annually , to third in the United States and a heavy exporter.
Three years more will probably see Ceorgia in first place, and
ten years will see her growing as many hogs as half the northern
states combined. That isn't wild hope; it is a logical conclus
ion. based on actual xonditions. and the belief of packing men
who know what they are talking about. Sumter county, of
course will get at least her share of this prosperous industry.
With the coming of tho curing house and the cold storage,
the yam is destined at an early date to become a commodity
with a countrywide demand. It is the,only known fruit thnt
grows underground, and is now just being discovered in the
North—through the instrumentality of the Northern soldiers who
were forced to live in Southern camps for a season last year.
And there are dozens of other crops that are coining to
the front as money makers—and all the time weill be selling our
cotton as a surplus, a by-product, that wp'll be sure of making
money from, for the day of cheap cotton has passed. *
But one of the greatest and most basically important pros
pects is the certain inflow of newknoney and new blood, and the
vast certain increases in the value of our farm lands. Already
we have seen farm values double in the last year, and it is only
the beginning. The paving of our rural roads will force the cut
ting up of our large plantations and farms; it will make the land
too valuable to leave to the old methods of agriculture. It will
mean that the land will he populated by white farmers—men
with families, who will make their homes on thd farms. And
they will make the land produce what it is capable of producing.
As a result, we should see our rural population doubled in the
next ten years and our farm productivity increased many fold.
It is only the trend of the times:—the logical results to be
expected from conditions which have naturally come abdfct,
though slow in coming—the dawning of a new day for the South
