On the fourth page of this issue
of the Home Journal is an article
frbm the Manufacturers’ Record en
titled, “A Big Plan for Georgia
Farmers,” circulated in a bulletin by
the Central of Georgia Railway Co.
This article outlines the plan of an
English syndicate to develop cer
tain sections of Georgia in stock
raising and kindred industries.
The ajtiela speaks for itself; read
it.
The main point accentuated by
the proposed actions of this alleged
English syndicate, is the great need
of Georgia farmers for a nearby
market for their products. It is
known to all men that the possibili
ties of agricultural production in
Georgia are more varied than in
most other states of the union, but
that many produots cannot be sold
at all at profitable prices.
It is true that almost every arti
cle produced on a Georgia farm can
be sold at some time, at some price
and in uncertain quantities, but it is
cotton and ts seed only that can be
sold whenever offered at a regulated
market price, at points remote from
" city.
It istrue there is always a market
for corn,wheat, oats, syrup and hay,
but the lack of nearby markets makes
the prices too low for the farmers to
derive any profit from the salo of
these products.
It is also a demonstrated fact that
ootton is not profitable when it is
cultivated to tho exclusion of the
food and provender crops.
It is true that peaches,.melons and
certain vegetables can be sold fresh
in season, but tho cost of transpor
tation often consumes all'the profit,
or more,
With a regular market for the ag
ricultural products that can be
grown in Georgia, the farmers
would rapidly become entirely indo
pendent of financial aid, the lands
would enhance in value in all sec
tions, tho lands now unoccupied
would bo purchased by progressive
farmers from other states, and the
general prosperity of the state
would increase at once and continu
ally.
A Terrible Explosion.
A locomotive engine exploded in
the roundhouse at the machine shops
of the Central of Georgia Railway at
State Politics.
The indications now are that the
men who have controlled state poli
tics in Georgia will be forced to oc
cupy positions in the rear this year.
They began the agitation concern
ing the governorship several months
ago, and all that has been develop
ed is the fact that at least four wor
thy gentlemen will be candidates
for that office. Absolutely nothing is
known of the comparative strength
of the candidates. The situation is
altogether speculative.
Following are a few extracts from
a recent Atlanta letter to the Macon
Telegradh:
“Political talk is reviving some
what now that the new year is at
hand. By the first of February, it
now appears, the gubernatorial cam
paign will have opened up in fairly
good shape.
“The conference between Govern
or Gondler, Senator Ulay and Chair
man duBignon has been all the talk
today, and the question has been on
many a lip, ‘what does it signifiy?’
“Chairman duBignon says ho will
call the state executive committee
together early in March. The com
mittee will,most likely it is thought,
call an early convention, probably
tho latter part of May. The politi
cians expect an early,sharp, incisive,
aggressive campaign.
“The talk of the conference be
tween Governor Candler, Senator
Clay and Chairman duBignon points
to the conclusion that the influences
of these three gentlemen may line
up behind some one besides Col.
Terrell, and that if such proves to
be the case that the railroad influ
ence and local option people would
go that way. It is said that Chair
man duBignon is partial to Smith
and Governor Candler to Brown.
“Clay is under obligation to du
Bignon, and tho signs point to an
other Brown-Colquitt-Gordon com
bination.”
