EIGHT
Burke and Emanuel County Farmers
Optimistic
Citizens of Midville Too Busy Budding a Rapidly Growing
Town to Worry About Hard Times---Less Cotton, More
Hog and Hominy From .Now on.
Midvilla, Ga, —lt you should chance
to be traveling on the Central of Geor
gia or the Georgia and Florida and
happen to come to a town called Mid
ville—which you will certainly do If
you travel long enough on either road
—and It came to pass that you got
off the train at this point, there would
be two things that would happen to
you immediately.
First, your attention would be at
tracted by the unusunl activity going
on In every direction and, a aeon d, y >u
would automatically get on an In
creased wiggle to keep from Iwlng run
over. Other towns may slumber and
dream peacefully in the sun, not Mid
ville.
Of all the enterprising towns In
Georgia—and there are a few- Midville
Is so far ahead of the rest in tJio mat
ter of growth that the cltlz*ti* cannot
get the rubbish from one new build
ing cleared up before another starts.
Waterworks and Sewerage.
Probably the most important thing
which has heen done In the way of
(gaprovenirnts Is the new waterworks
fed!) sewerage system Which is Just
being completed at a cost of about
122,000. A five-hundred-foot artesian
well furnishes an ample flow of the
purest of water, contributing vitally
toward the general health of the com
munity. The hundred-foot stand-pipe
which puts running water In the homes
gives a good pressure nil over town
and fills a long-felt want. »
In the residence section during the
past year, over fifty homes have been
erected. Anrruig them might be men
tioned those of Mrs. Corrlne Jones, Mr.
J. B Murphy, Mr. H. A. Ay.new and
Mrs. 1,. A Kirk man. Mr. FI. W. Brooks
has lately completed a very pretty
bungalow for Ills own use, and Mr.
J G. Renfroe has put up several at
tractive tenement houses.
New Bank.
One of the most attractive new
buildings In the business section is
that of tile Farmers and Merchants
Bunk, which is a two-story structure,
built of white pressed brick, and of the
most modern bank construction. This
bank, which Is still in the first year of
Us existence, has been doing a very
successful business ever since it was
fet gantzed. It is capitalized at (25,000,
Mr. L It. Farmer of Louisville being
tlie president. Mr. T. 11. Wall Is vice
president, and Mr. K. W. Brooks,
cashier.
■"-O - -
Across from the bank, on the cornet
of Jones and Trout streets, is a double
store which was built by Mr. J. A.
Asher and which Is also of white
pressed brick. One of these stores is
occupied by the Midville Furniture Co.
and the other by Asher Bros.
Department Store.
The R. C. Neely t'o., which for the
past four years have been doing the
largest supply business In southeast
Georgia, came to the conclusion some
time since that they had outgrown
their old quarters. Accordingly, they
pulled down the old buildings and put
up a line of nine modern one-story
Stores which will cost about 520.000
when finished. They are of gray
pressed brick with palte glass fronts
and present a very handsome appear
ance.
in addition to these, Mr. Thoa. Tt
Slappey of Ravannah lias renovated
hlj two brick stores on the corner of
Jones and Broad streets; Mr. It. M
Murphree has put up u new brick
store which lie occupies with a gene
ral merchandise stock, and Mr. J. H.
Drew has made a number of improve
ments in Ills place of business.
Mrs. K. A. Harris lias also built a
couple of two story buildings which
•re «i present occupied by W. FI. Bax
ter mid the Midville !>rug Company.
For the accommodation of its pas
sengers. the Georgia and F'lorlda Rail
road has lately built a new depot.
This building, which Is a wooden]
structure with a tile roof, not only
makes a very good appearance, but
adds greatly lo the comfort of the
traveling public. _
A great deal of work Is also being
done lu the way of excavating s space
for enlarging tlielr freight yard, the I
present yard being too small to ac I
commodate tile large amount of cotton
which is handled every fall.
Fertiliser Plant.
Midville has ene of the largest and
most complete fertiliser plants in the
stute. Tile Central Fertilizer Co. was
completed at a cost of (500,000 In time
for the last season, ami did a most
successful business. They have also
put up a large gin this year which
right at this lime is doing all the
work It can handle. There are now
two lurge gins In Midville which have
a. combined capacity of a hundred and
fifty bales a day.
Near the fertiliser plant. Mr. J. H.
Higdon recently erected a saw and
plaining mill which haa been doing a
good business furnishing the wood
work for new buildings
Farmers Optimistic.
While the farmers around Midville
are as busy as they can be gathering
in on# of the best cotton crops this
(section has seen In a long time, still
there has been very little cotton sold,
•o far. Pretty well all the farmers
are viewing the present depression tn
as optimistic a light as possible, real
ising that there must be a demand for
) cotton which will put it up to a rcas
i onab’e price again as soon as tt can be
transported to European mills. Thev
■fey they are going to swing to what
they have as long as they* possibly can
and after that hold on a little lunger
anyway Just for luck and that they
aspect things to boom when they on.'e
feet started.
The merchants and hanks are ear
ing for the farmers as much as pos
sible, advancing goods and money to
the value of eight cents a pound on
WarehouM* receipts. That the cotton
growers are taking advantage of this
plan is evidenced by the fact that not
only the old warehouse of the Midville
Warehouse Co., but also the new ware
house of the R, C. Neely Oo„ with a
capacity of two thousand hales, is rap
idly filling up with bales stored
•gainst a better market.
What Mr. Brooks Says.
When asked what he thought of the
situation, Mr. Brooks, cashier of the
Warm err and Merchants Hank, sail;
“So far as things have gone at pres
ent, we have never thought affairs
wars get tin* luftUueuUy serious to
worry over. We can sec but. one out
come and tba(, is an ultimate increase
In business and general prosperity for
this country beyond what we have had
In a number of years. At present, It
Is merely a case of sitting tight in
the boat.
"Throughout this section we are as
stirred of a hearty co-operation be
tween the farmers, bankers and mer
chants in helping each other tide over
the present crisis. This bank is ad
vancing money on warehouse receipts
at the rate of eight cents the pound,
and we do not feel that we are taking
chances at that.
We are advising all of our custom
ers to hold their cotton, mid they seem
to be doing It. Farmers here will tell
you that cotton Is only about seven
and t. half cents, but if you start out
to buy at that price, there will he a
different tale to tell. You won't find
any for sale.
More Hog and Hominy.
“In one way the situation we are up
against at present Is going to do this
section a lot of good. That sounds a
little tough now, hut if the farmer.-,
learn not to depend too much on cot
ton, a great deal will be accomplished
toward their individual independence.
The land In Burke and Emanuel coun
ties is capable of raising nearly every
thing needed by the people who live
upon It, and If the farmer will pay
more attention to hog and hominy he
will be better able tn sit In the shade
of his scuppernong vine and let the
worll wag until he can get a Just and
reasonable price for Ills cotton. At
least he will never again ho confront
ed by aueli a problem as he Is facing
at present.
