SPLENDID SHOWING
Made by Industrial Depart
ment of the S. A. L.
BROUGHT GOOD RESULTS
Acted as Incentive to Farmers, Causing
Them to Beautify Their Homes and
Use Improved Implements.
The remarkable showing made
during the fiscal year just past, by
what is considered the greatest in
novation ever undertaken by an
American railway, is shown by
the following extract from the
annual report of Mr. E. St. John,
vice president and general mana
ger of the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way.
In that interesting paper, Mr.
:St. John says:
‘ The chief industrial agent re
ports that during the year ending
June 30, 1900, 897 manufacturing
establishments have been started
upon lines therein reported upon,
.as against 284 the previous year.
“He also reports 5,625 settlers,
bringing with them $2,798,715, as
against 3,750 with $1,627,800 dur
ing previous year; also 4,243 la
borers as compared with 3,150 last
year.
“More than 500,000 packages of
flower seeds, to beautify homes,
have been distributed through our
local industrial agents. The re
tail value of these seeds, at 10
cents per package, would have
been $50,000. Six hundred and
thirty-eight thousand three hun
dred and eighty-one shade trees,
fruit trees and fruit bearing vines
have been planted during the year,
an increase of 268,878 over pre
ceding year.
“Six thousand four hundred and
aiinety-four houses were painted
during the year on our lino, an
increase of 2,975 over last year,
and as compared with 700 during
first year, and 10,937 homes and
grounds were improved as the re
sult of our efforts, an increase of
7,516, and as compared with less
than 200 the first year we attempt
ed anything in this line.
“The stock and poultry of the
farmer has also been very greatly
improved during the past few
years as the result of the estab
lishment of a stock department,
in connection with our industrial
work.
“The establishment of our ‘vol
unteer army,’ ‘work day picnics,’
■‘canning school,’ ‘the training
•school on wheels,’ and the con
tinued movement of the free trav
eling libraries from point to point,
is undoubtedly working great good
to our people, and the evidences
of this are constantly coming in
the shape of letters direct from
people benefitted, as well as no
tices through the press of the
-cities and towns through which
we operate.
“The experiments with kaffir
«sorn, hops, broom corn, etc.,
which was first brought by us to
the attention of the farmers along
our line, in fact, first experiment
ed with upon the state and com
pany’s experimental farms, to
demonstrate that there were other
things than those being produced,
that would be of benefit to our
farmers, have brought good re
sults. We have demonstrated also
that improved agricultural ma
chinery was needed in almost
every direction if he would get the
best financial results from his la
bors, and in many cases by show
ing him this machinery and how
to use it, have convinced him that
this was a fact. It is a matter of
record in our industrial depart
ment, as one evidence of this, that
747 farmers have boen induced to
purchase modern machinery for
their future use.
“I am sure that all this can but
prove as gratifying to all interest
ed in the Seaboard Air Line as it
has to your vice president and
general manager, and no one can
doubt that what has really been
accomplished in this direction has
been of inestimable value to our
great system.
“The free traveling libraries of
the Seaboard Air Line, under di
rect charge of'Mrs. E. B. Heard,
of Middleton, Ga., as general su
perintendent, are proving of won
derful value, and the letters she is
receiving from the various points
upon the line, demonstrate the in
terest of the people in our efforts
to supply them with good reading
matter. This work is favorably
commented upon by the press from
Maine to California, and is grow
ing very rapidly. The number of
libraries, constantly passing up
and down the line, has increased
from 15 (of 50 volume each), the
number reported last year, to 35
(of same number of volumes),
conveying to the people the best
reading matter obtainable, while
our library as a whole numbers
now over 2,500 volumes.
“To all of the officers and em
ployes of the Seaboard Air Line
whose constant and untiring ef
forts have made the above results
possible, my sincere thanks are
due, and are most gratefully ten
dered.”
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE
To be cured of catarrh? If you
or your friends have this disease,
you know how disagreeable it is.
Its symptoms are in eyes,throbbing
temples, ringing noises in the ears,
headaches, capricious appetite, and
constant discharge of mucus.
Fortunately its cure is not a
question of what yeu will give, but
what you will take. If you will
take Hood’s f Sarsaparilla, the
great constitutional remedy, which
thoroughly purifies, enriches and
vitalizes the blood, you may expect
to be competely and permanently
cured. The good blood which
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes, reaching
the delicate passages of the
mucous membrane, soothes and
rebuilds the tissues and ultimately
cures all symptoms of catarrh.
