Make it right, and understand why There’s a Reason" for POSTUM Governor Smith Visits One of Georgia’s Garden Spots. By JOHN C. REESE. Bpcriol t« The Georgiau. Summerville. Go,. Sept. 16.—Travel np and down and across Georgia wWare you may, and it would be difficult *o find a more universally prosperous people than In Chattooga county. After Governor Smith's speech there Saturday ho was talking to a group on the veranda of the Gilbert House. Among other things he said: "1 doubt If a more prosperous sec tlon than this could be found In Geor gia today. Chattooga and Walker ore two of the best and most prosperous counties In the state, taking the whole people Into consideration. I was Im pressed with the fact today while speaking that you could not tell who lived In tho country and who lived In town. The people from the country were as well dressed and clean-cut In apeptiranee as the people from the towns.” And Governor Smith was not dealing In empty phrases or meaningless flat tery. Everybody In Chattooga bears every outward evidence of prosperity. The buggies and wagons rolling In from the country were drawn hv fine #tnrk and the people were well dressed and contented looking. Diversified Crops. Chattooga Is a series of peculiarly fertile valleys and ridges. The valleys are rich and the ridges filled with min erals, and the sloping sides crowded with splendid timber. They raise cot ton In Chuttooga—lots of It—but it is not THE crop. Long^slnce the agri cultural class learnedthe necessity of diversification. And Jenrnlng the necessity, they Im mediately put It Into practice. ?iun- dreds of acres of the ridges and steep mountain sides are crowded with peach trees. Fruit growing has rome to be a tremendous factor In the prosperity of the county. Many men have made Independent fortunes out of the Industry, and Chat tooga peaches are fumed for peculiar delicacy of flavor, and the mineral In the soil gives them a rich carmine hue thnt adds largely to their marketable value. In a good peach year Summerville Is the busiest small town In the country. Hundreds of people find employment In picking, packing and shipping the lu scious fruit. Buyers flock there from II over the country, and altogether the town puts on an appearance of tre mendous activity. Summerville Is situated in the beau tiful Chattooga valley, fertile as any land to be found In the state. The cltl. zens are alert, progressive and alive to anything for the common good. Marks of Progress. They are Just completing a $150,000 cotton mill, said to be one of tho hand somest and most modern little mills In the South. Practically every dollar for building It was put up by Chattooga county people. And the farmers have as much or more money Invested In It than the merchants and business men. The twon has two banks and both are bursting with deposits. Inquiry will reveal that the farmers are among the best customers of these Institu tions. A business man in Summerville laughingly sold: "We have no poor folk* In Chattooga county. Of course, thnt Is not said seriously, because there are shiftless, never-do-wells hej*e ns in every com munity, but the man who has ambition and bustle Is well fixed. The proper* tlon of reully poor people Is amazingly small. And these are, as a rule, re sponsible for their own condition. The I>eople work hard, have plenty and arc contented.” That perhaps more accurately ex presses the actual conditions than any thing else could. Malaria Makes Pals, Sickly Children.
