Tobacco Lands along
the Georgia R. R.
The farmers along the Geor¬
gia railroad from Atlanta to
Augusta and its branches are
seriously debating the question
of taking up tobacco as a moil
ey crop, A recent trip over the
main line from Atlanta to Craw
fordville showed that the lands
along tliis road are specially suit
ed to growing the very best
types of bright tobacco.
From Covington to Rutledge
the lands are almost identical
with those around Winston, in
North Carolina, where the fin¬
est tobacco in the state is grown.
There is a light-grayish top soil
with a subsoil low enough down
to mal e the very finest types
of yellow tobacco. The forest
growth also iudicates that this
section will produce the very
best tobacco that ; be , grown.

Fhereis undergrow th ,, of ,, hard ,

woods, which are always found
ou the best tobacco lands.
Tn the immediate vicinity of
Social Circle the lands are es¬
pecially tobacco lands of the
highest type, and the cotton
growers there, who are now
making $30 00 worth of cotton
to the acre, could easily
$125.00 worth of tobacco.
have never seen finer tobacc
lands aDy where in the Carolin
as than in the section
ately around Social Circle.
Passing Greensboro we come
into anothei very line type of
soil for bright tobacco, which
reaches a high degree of fertili¬
ty at Crawfordville. In the
Crawfordville section the farm
ers will find that tobacco will
flourish and the average land
in that section, with proper cul¬
tivation , will produce from $100
to $150 worth of tobacco per
acre. It is very likely that to
bacco will be taken up by farm¬
ers in this section the next sea
as a money crop.
There are many readers of
the Southern Tobacco Journal
working worn-out lands in the
Carolinas, w r ho would find that
a change to the sections above
described would be very benefi
These lands along the
Georgia Railroad have never
been planted in tobacco. They
are Q6W laDdS f ° 1 ' thiS C10P> Thfc
lauds are low iu h rice and very
easily cultivated, and will pro
easily from 900 to 1200
of tobacco per acre.
They are similar to the best to
b.icco lands along the Atlantic
coast line in South Carolina. A
few wide-awake farmers would
find a harty welcome among
the farmers along the Georgia
railroad, as they a;e anxious to
learn about the tobacco crop.
Lands can bo bought at low
prices, or they can.be leased on
reasonable terms.

Tihe Local Paper,
Every thoughtful man whose
observation of men and things
is valuable, every man who has
been obliged to rely upon him¬
self for advancement, whose as¬
piration has been high enough
ana his will strong enough to
advance himself.every man who
recognizes the ladder by which
he climed and is not ashamed
to acknowledge he was once at
the bottom rung, has a good
word for the home paper, the
country newspaper, which is
the barometer ot business and
the artery through which it is
increased atid kept alive. The
late Judge David Davis, of the
United States supreme court,
expiessed this opinion that he
had won his highest honors,
says the Logansport Journal;
“Each year every local pa¬
per gives from $500 to $1,000 in
free lines for the benefit of the
community in which it is loca¬
ted. No other paper can or
will do this. The editor, in
proportion to his means, does
more for his town than any
other man, and with all his
fairness, man with man, he
ought to lie supported, not be
( ause you may like him or nd
mire his writing, but because
the local newspaper is the best
advertisement a town can have.
It may not bo r-rmvdid with
great thoughts but financially
it is more of a benefit than both
preacher and teacher, Today
the editors of local papers do
more for less pay than any oth
er men on earth, Pat rorfize
your local piaper not as charit)
but as an investment.”—Ex,
