ESTABLISHED 1850.

under discussion, and q general system OF
drainage make the peninsula habftable the
whole year by Northern people. the lands
that are now practically useless win become
the most valuable agricultural and horti-
cultural lands on the continent. The Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western Railroad,
which runs southeast and then west through
Southern Georgia, traverses a country, the
coast line Of which is now among the most
lucrative truck farming regions of the
South. The great pine belt further west
yields timber, lumber, rosin and turpentine
in almost unlimited quantities. All along the
line the semi-tropicsl fruits grow In great
variety and in great richness. One lady has
on exhibition here three hundred different
varieties of canned fruits. preserves, etc.,
which grew on single farm.
Such general glance at only the most
striking exhibits, that indicate the undevel-
oped resources of the South, is enough to
show that all the idle capital In New Eng
land, and a great deal of labor can find
profitable employment here. In fact, it is
doubtful II the West, even in former years,
ever offered such inducements for invest
ments and for immigrants. Not few cap
ttalists from the North have already, during
these six weeks, invested In property that
they first heard of here. No one could reck-
on the number of chances that lie unim-
stance, while every cotton mill In the South
that has been managed with any skill at all
has paid handsome dividends, there is now
for sale water power enough on Southern
railroads to quadruple the number of South
ern mills. On the Catawba river
in Chester county, South Caro-
lima, for instance, there is q mile of
water fall (of 96 feet) whose marvellous
advantages have, as it were, just been dis
covered. A dozen sites, with granite quar-
rles on the land, could be bought for less
Massachusetts. At Columbus, Ga, already
a manufacturing town Of great importance,
the best water power is for sale. Instances
like these form part of the news of every
day, and but for the fact that it is not the
Posts business to advertise property free of
charge, could enumerate score OF oppOr-
tunities for investing money where 1t
would yield from 25 to 100 per
cent. For the small farmer, the man
with a few hundred or a few thousand
dollars, there is no place that offers such
inducements as many parts Of the South.
Land can be bought almost anywhere for
what it will yield in one year when improv-
ed and cultivated properly. The Exposition
is the most efficient and beneficial adver-
tisement Ito all parties concerned) that was
ever made of any region. The best of all,
too, is the fact that no great corporations,
no immigration societies, no railroad COM
panies, no monopolies of any kind, hinder
the investigations or Investments of private
parties. This is in all essential particulars
q new land. Now that its possible wealth
has been discovered, it will fast be made
actual An era of development is setting in
not less surely than the era of Western de-
velopment begun two decades ago.
