MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
A Proposition Which Must Feneht
the City.


Editor Morning Ne,cs: want to call
your attention TO and receive the indorse-
ment of the MORNING NEWS for a move in
the right direction, which is now beicg in
augurated.
refer to the effort that is being mode to
unite the various land companies of Savan-
nah in an organized movement to advertise
the advantages of the city.
Cities in different portions Of the country
have been built where nothing but bare
fields existed, and this was done by the
Judoious use Of printers ink. There are but
lew places which possess so many advau-
tages which can be put prominently for
ward as this fair city Of ours We have
something to interest and reward the in
weston when he comes here. 1t is unpusiness-
like to expect him to hunt us up. 1t is the
correct thing for Us TO let everybody know
what we have to offer.
There exists in many portions of the east
and west a growing conviction that the
south presents a better field for profitable
investment than any other portion OF this
country. This feeling has led to investiga-
lions In certain sections, which resulted in
the inve'tment of many thousands of dollars.
The attention of capitalists has been drawn
to these sections by persistent advertising.
A notable instance Of this is the state Of
OF Florida millions of capital have been
drawn there simply by advertising. We
hear Of capital being invested in other cities,
where there is less to tempt the investor
than here; where the returns are doubtful,
and the future Of the city not 80 certain.
We need here population and fresh capt.
tai. Unless we make known to the outside
world what advantages we have TO offer,
whatever our future prospects seem to be,
what results will follow judicious invest
ments and reward industry aud energy well
directed, unless all these things are told to
the worldi how are they to know it, and
who is to tell it? Our neighbors or our
selvesl
Those who have wares TO offer must seek
the buyers. The land companies which
have lands and lots to sell. and which
should by now feel the need of getting out
sloe buyers here, must do the work. 1t is
great work, and by organization
1t can be best accomplished. The
advertising of Savannah shonld not be con-
nned to one paper or to one section of the
county, but it should take a wider scope
An organization should be effected that
would aim to make our merits known al
over this broad laud. Its aim should be to
Drlng people to Savannah not next year or
tne year after, but right off and all the
time.
ms should be a committee of safety-S

Kept one thing in mind and continually
pressed 1t to the attention of the entire
country, that Savannah had advantages
eequalled by few and excelled by none; wher,
