»-’u. Li ——
COUNTY. | It is currently reported that the
i Louisville & Nashville railroad has
secured control of the Atlanta &
Florida railroad, and also the
South Bauuswick railroad, recent
ly incorporated. Along with this
report comes the assertion that the
road will be extended from Fort
Valley to Waynesville, and there
connect with a short line, already
constructed, to Brunswick.
This road will pass through
Houston county, and Perry is on
an air line between the terminal
points named. Perry needs a new
road, and we believe the proper
effort will secure this road. Talk
will be beneficial, but not effective
unless it has the assistance of
money.
Several months ago a committee
was appointed by a meeting of cit
izens to secure information"' con
cerning the proposed building of
new roads, and ascertain upon
what terms a new road could be
secured to Perry.
We suggest that this committee
at once investigate the above ru
mor, which was published id the
Atlanta Constitution, from" the
Bruuswiek correspondent of that
paper, and report to the citizens of
Perry at the earliest time practical.
However urgent may be our need
for another railroad, it will not
come to us unsought, nor for the
mere asking. Bailroads are built
for the purpose of making money,
and no town will be considered
(above the inducement offered.
Perry must work earnestly for
this road. The town needs it in
its business, but if the citizens fail
to m<ke the proper effrot—money
and right of way must be offered—
it will pass by on the other side.

COMMISSIONERS’ SALE.
By virtue of an order granted by the
Honorable A-L. Miller, Judge of Superi
or court Macon circuit, ■ at the October
term, 1891, of Houston Superior court j^fofthe cS^of 6:
upon the petition of heirs of Mrs GW 1
Stnithfqr the partition of lot of land'No.
ISO in the Lower 5th. district of ’said
county, and for the purpose of dividing
the same between the heirs at law of the
said Mrs G W Smith and remaindermen
in said deceased, we will sell before tne
the firtt Tuesday in December next, for
cash, said lot df land. This lot of land
at its ebb, leads to fortune. Is not
the same thing true as to nations
and peoples? Has not the agricul
tural South had her., opportunty,
failed to use it, and stands to-day
looking at.,the fruits of this lost
opportunity enriching other lands
and people ?. The war left us with
large land ^states, and free lahor
untried in this capacity. We were
too short-sighted to adapt ourselves
to the changed order of things, so
planters continued to keep up their
estates under the old regime, hired
overseers to plow and plant, to sow
and reap as of old. But as time
passes, they discover that the old
methods are dqpe away with, and
all things must become new. Over
seer who made money for their em
ployers, money and reputation for
themselves before the war, make
failure after failure until grim ne
cessity, orders a change.
The tenant system,. clothed with
garments, that jingle with gpld, ap
pears and offeis to cure the ills of
the old system and bring those who
embrace it peace, plenty and idler
ness. But after being tried gnany
years, it has kept’its promise only
as to the last item of the three, and
to-day agriculture in the South is
sick nigh unto death.
Soon after the war there were
many young men with plenty of
tnnscie and mind,but short of mon
ey, who were anxious to buy small
farms and engage iu .agriculture,
the business that had made the
South the greatest of all lands.
But the men who owned the acres
refused to sell, preferring to strug
gle on and try to maintain their
greatness. Had they grasped the
opportunity and sold to these young
men on long cr n dit and easy terms,
you would see to-day thousands of
neat and cosy farm homes dotted
over the lands, whereas you only
see the decaying mansion or rusty
hut. These fanners would have
bee:r there to stay, and country
schools and ehruches would now
greet the eye in every neighbor
hood. Ther5 would have been no
overproduction of merchants,clerks
lawyers, doctors, editors, drum
mers, etc. A man owning 1,000
acres could.have sold half or more,
and the remaining half would have
been worth to-day'more than the
whole. The money thus realized
could have- been invested in rail
roads, factories, etc., which now
yield handsome dividends to north
ern and eastern investors, and the
loan associations that are gradually
securing many of of our best lands
would have been kept out of this
country. In the last -few years
merchants have also contribned to.
demoralize the labor and work
ruin to the agricultural interests of
the country. In the race for rapid
fortunes, they have taken great
risks in order to obtain large prof
its. Competilition in this way has.
made them go out and induce them
to come .in, mule or uo mule. This
state of affairs naturally increased
the demand for lands to rent. The
negroes, with nothing to lose and
much to gain in the way of good
furnishings, have flocked to the
feast, while the poor white farmer,
forced to continue the fight for his
bread,under the changed conditions
being gradually driven out of
the market. True, the merchants
seem to have “gotten into it,” you
may say innocently, not knowing
that it would have snch a depress
ing tendency upon the mother of
all avocations.
Bat can these thing last? Must
there not come a change? The
cities and towns that have an'dvan-
tages in location,etc., have flourish
ed,but it has been at the expense of
gradually sapping the country. Gan
these towns continue to grow and
thrive, or even remain as they are,
unless the country shall cease to be
impoverished? It seems io-ma
a reaction has about set in; or lurks
the near future, and when it
does, mnph may be done to remedy
the errrors of the past.
