business carefully, and I believe real estate in Augusta
has the greatest future of any town I know of. We have

more to offer for a given amount than any other city in
the Union.
I have patrons who have realized profits on their in
vestments of from ten to five hundred per cent in Augusta
real estate in the last few months. And I know of many
others who have done equally as well. Our people are
waking up to the fact that we have the most wonderful
opportunity for advancement that can be found in any city.
Within the last two months more property has changed
hands than within the past 12 months, or any previous
12 months—and this is what makes real estate enhance
in value.
Let us all get this idea, and sell when we have a good
profit, and then buy again. Don't worry about what the
"other fellow" might make.
It may not be generally known, but it is an establish
ed fact, that the price of our real estate is from 30 per
cent to 40 per cent below the price of real estate in other
cities the size of Augusta This fact plainly shows the un
usual opportunities held out to people of means to buy
property in Augusta at its present price.
My advice to anybody and everybody is to put all the
money they have (or can get) in Augusta dirt, for Au
gusta dirt is the best dirt yet.
We have the finest climate in the known world. Our
schools and churches are second to none; we have the best
cotton market in the South.
Last, but by no means least, the recent harnesring of
the Savannah river gives to Augusta and the surrounding
country the cheapest power that can be found anywhere
in this section. All these natural advantages are bound to
make our city "great.” We must grow; we can’t help it;
we can’t stop it WE WILL GROW, WHETHER WE WANT
TO OR NOT! Yours truly,
JOSEPH W. BEASLEY.

Come South.
Most of the big league' teams go
South this year with a greater galaxy
of recruits than ever before. Many
of the rookies have been press agents
by their minor league owners as sec
ond Ty Cobbs, second Christy Mat
ewsons, second Honus Wagners, etc.
There’s nothing new in such a method
of advertising; It's an old, old story.
But somehow the big league magnates
this year are really expecting some
thing from their recruit crop—really
expecting to harvest a few stars, a
few real ball players that can take
their places among the reguhirs anti
stand the gaff.
The St. Louts Browns have on their
roster just now the largest col lec
tion of rookies in captivity. Some
think like thirty young athletes gat
ered from the bushes. The majority
of them landed In the Browns not la
beled as wonders. Branch Rickey,
the Brown manager, frankly admits
he has a job mapped out for him in
the culling of these recruits.
Crowd Out Regulars.
"From all I hear of these young
sters," declared Rickey, "they have
sufficient calibre to crowd out every
one of my regulars. Wouldn't that be
great If it was true? But I'm not
looking for any fortune like that; I'll
be perfectly satisf'ed if even five of
that army of kids show up well
enough to keep."
