Tk Origin of Roystci Fertilizers.
Mr. Royster believed that success awaited the
Manufacturer or Fertilizers who would place quality
above other considerations. This was Mr. FOyster»
idea Twenty-seven years ago and this is bis idea
to-day; the result has been that it requires Eight
Factories to supply the demand for Royster Fertilizers.

Furthermoro, the southern half of the tance and today its prospects for future
state at that period was little more than growth are equaled by few Central
u vnst pine forest, sparsely settled j Georgia cities,
and having but little influence in the
political affairs of the state. Hut with
in the thirty-three years since that elec
tion, that section has made wonderful
strides In development and in now one
of the most populous parts of Georgia,
still favoring the return of the seat of
government to central Georgia.
During the period of about sixty years
while Milledgeville was Georgia’s capi
tal, the industrial and commercial ef
forts of tho people of the state, as well
as the entire cotton bolt, were directed
to the development of the agricultural
resources of tho country, and the build-
ing of manufacturing enterprises re
ceived but casual attantlon, and while
Millodaoville maintained a remarkably
steady growth down to the beginning
of the war, due largely to its rich agri
cultural territory, no special efforts
were made to develop tho citv into a
great commercial center. As a result of
tho war tho industrial system of the
South wss revolutionized. Capital was
divertc I from agricultural interests to
Miignilleeiit Natural Resources.
Milledgeville has opportunities for
industrial development that are bound
to bring the city to the front as a manu
facturing center of importance. Noth-
thing but folly can keep it down when
the true situation is made clear tc
capitalists who are seeking firstclass
opportunities for investment in Georgia.
Nothing has kcot it hack in the past
hut failure tq advertise its spleniid ad
vantages and lich resources among the
people who are looking for such invest
ments.
In the Oconee river, upon the banks
of which Milledgeville is situated, there
is suflk-ient undeveloped water power,
which can.be harnessed at reasonable
cost, to turn the wheels of scores of
factories, nnd lying in juxtaposition to
magnificent factory locations along the
river, are raw materials in variety and
groat abundance, embracing extia fine
qualities of clays suitable for all kinds
of brick, terra cotta, piping, tiling,
net, handles, box crate.wagon and bug
gy factories, and near the city are
rich kaolin mines which famish ma
terial for fire brick stone ar.d Rocking
ham ware, white ware, paper filling,
etc.
A Remarkable Clay.
The state geologist in his official re-
able and the substantial citizens and
local capitalists are disposed to extend
liberal encouragement to promoter and
desirable home seekers.
Hpleadid School and Excellent Social
Condition*.
The Georgia Normal and Industrial
College, a branch of the State Univer
sity, and the Georgia Military College,
maintained by the city, and embracing j
primary and intermediate departmerts,
are classed with the best educaiional
institutions of the South. No city in
Georgia affords better educational
facilities.
The state sanitarium, said to be the
largest asylum in America, is located in i
the suburbs of the citv and the state
prison farm, one of the most extensive j
plantations in the country, is located ,
within a few miles of the city and is |
operated with the labor of a certain \
class of state convicts.
Few cities of any section of the
country have a more hospitable, moral
and cultured citizemthip than Miiledge-
ville. Visitors are' at ones impressed
by the courteous bearing and highmind-
ed business methods of the commercial
and professional men and practically
all who go there on business depart
with pleasant impressions to speak in
praise of the city.
Productive Farming Section —Pecan
Culture.
The territory surrounding Miiledge
ville has been long noted for its splendid
agricultural and fruit raising resources.
It is a part of the ',’Red Hill” section
of Middle Georgia, made famous in
song and praise for its notable advan
tages,^ productive soil and fine social
conditions By the intensive system of |
farming the soil res|>onds generously
to the labor of the husbandman and
practically every semi-tropical product
can be profitably raised.
This section is also a part of the cele
brated fruit belt of Central Georgia,
from which peaches and other fruits
are shipped to the Northern markets,
commanding the highest prices because
of excellent quality, and very fine j
varieties of pecans arc grown, the meal |
of which it is claimed is of superior
