The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-09-15

Der trades is looked for us soon as the
tight times are over, and this of course,
promises an addition to the volume of the
banking business.
Even now, as the stringency is abating,
and while it was at its hight, the re-
ceipts of produce in Savannah have been
larger than at any other port on account
of the fact that the Savannah banks have
at all times furnished the currency to
pay for and to move products of all
kinds On this account products are
coming here from all sections that form
erly went TO New Orleans. Norfolk,
Charleston and other points. Nearly all
the Florida trade is passing through Sa-
vannah for this same reason, and this
port is drawing largely, also, from South
Carolina and Alabama. This state of af-
fairs is simply due to the fact that the
Savannah banks have the money to han
die the business.
EXCHANGE AND SAFETY DEPOSIT BONES.
So far as exchange is concerned the
banks here have handled an enormous
amount of it during the year. In rates it
has gone back now practically to where
IL was last year. but during the time that
money was selling at a premium, the
banks took it only at a discount of one
half of per cent. The banks are taking
it now, however, at a discount of one
elgnJn Oh l per cent. ana are Selilng at
par. The banks were ever ready to eX-
tend all the accommodation possible to
their customers, and they accepted all the
exchange offered by them, paying cur
rency for it,
Another evidence of the fact so often
repeated that Savannah has suffered as
little as any city in the country from the
depression is that very few people en-
ployed safety deposit boxes in which to
keep their money during tight times. A
considerable money was withdrawn and
deposited in these boxes at the time of the
slight run on the Southern Bank, which
was scarcely felt by that institution. But
both before and after that time the money
was in circulation, and the boxes are used,
when used at all, mostly for the purpose
of securing jewelry and valuables.

c E ORGIA A.
Her Advance in Ten Years Has Been
Marvellous.

Gov. Northen Points Out Her Many
ADVANTAGES Natural Resources
That Are Inexhaustible - Perfect
Climate and Very Fertile Soil.
From the Times-Democrat.
To portray adequately the material
progress of Georgia in the last decade,
and to review her vast natural resources,
would require a volume of description
and statistics; while to forecast her
great possibilities would demand the
gift of prophecy.
To begin with her progress: Ten years
ago Georgia was impoverished. Like her
sister states of the south, she had not
yet recuperated her wealth or her ener-
gies What the war had spared the
spoilation by carpet-baggers had swept
away. 1t was not until after 1879 that
the state began to recover from these
twin disasters Since 1880 her material
development has been rapid, and her
social and Intellectual progress has been
marvellous.
In 1865 Georgia owned but $120 900, 600
in personal and real property In fifteen
years she had doubled this amount,
although it was period of phenomenal
advance in all values.
In 1893, when we must begin our de-
cade, her real and personal property
amounted 10 $3.50 600 600, in round mum
bers. In 1854 it was 1896, 000,0 in 1888,
1929 000, 600; in 1886, S306. 600 900; in 1887,
S317, 600, 900; in 1883, 1928 100000; in 1889,
S:}46, 600. 900; in 1890, $377 900 coo in 1891,
500, 600, 600; in 1892, S421 ,000, 600 Her
otherp properties not included in the above,
will bring her wealth to more than half a
billion dollars SO that in ten years her
real and personal property has nearly
doubled its value In the same period,
her population has grown from 1000, 900
to 20O0,0O0. We can thus see that, while
the increase IN population has been great
$50 per centum), the increase in wealth
has been four times as great, or 100 per
cent.
In this increase all classes have shared
equally. The farm lands have nearly
doubled in value, increasing from $685.
000, coo in 1882, to 1872, 100000 in 1892
The property Of negroes has increased
from S., 100000 in 1882, to Sl5,00C 900 in
1892
The railroad property in the state has in
creased at the rate of nearly 250 per cent.
or from about SIS, 600, 900 in 1892, to about
S43, COO 900 in 1892
wealth, which may be set down as 100 per
cent. in the decade, or at "a rate Of -FOUR
times the increase Of population.
These values, be it remembered, are the
values as set down for purposes Of taxa

thority for saying that one ton of cotton
seed meal fed TO steer will produe $50
worth of manure.
Another great natural resource Is the
network of streams, which afford great
number of sites for manufacture and
vast power to be utilized. AS an illustra-
tration, the water power of the Chatta-
hoochee river near Atlanta, may De
taken. Lowell Mass, has spent more
than q million dollars improving her
water power, which now runs about Sl4,-
600, 900 Of machinery and supports 1900
operatives; and yet her water power is
not two-thirds that of the Chattahoochee
river near Atlanta, while the Chattahoo-
chez is never blocked with ice. What is
true of this river is true of others, and,
in less degree of thousands of streams
that rush from the foothills and spurs OF
the Blue Ridge
The progress Of intellectual things
should also be taken into account. With
in every county education has been made
free and placed within reach of every
home Illiteracy has decreased, and the
people everywhere are availing them
selves of their new advantages. Our in
tellectual progress has been fully as great
as our material progress; but it cannot be
reduced to figures and per cents.
What must be said as to the possibili-
ties OF patriotic and industrious and an
energetic people amid such lavish wealth
of nature, and in such climate, and
possessors of such a soil? Everything is
possible. The rate of progress made by
Georgia in the past ten years, If merely
maintained, would soon place her in the
front rank of our states. But the signs
of the times point to greater develop
ment, greater utilization of her resources,
and to a greater advance along every line.
Immigrants fleeing from the wrath TO
come fleeing alike from anarchy and des-
potism. fleeing from ice and snow, fleeing
from pestilence and famine, will seek her
fruitful soil and her sunny fields. Her
abandoned farm lands, where the plow
was left for the sword and the pruning
hook for the bayonet, will be cultivated
and yield abundant harvests. Her vine
yards and her peach orchards shall be as
famous as the gardens OF Sicily in ancient,
or the Guernsey in modern times; and
will send their fruitage TO delight dis
tant and less happy lands. Her streams
will be buster than the waters that turn
the spindles of Lowell and her mineral
wealth will be converted into those great
nerves Of peace and war-"irOn and gold"
Such will be, l am assured, the future
Of this happy people. They are working
out their destiny with patience, but with
thoroughness; and, despite the lowering
of occasional clouds, they can see the
dawning Of their day. As they have
striven, so may they enjoy the rich fruits
Of their labors.
We win be glad to welcome to Georgia
many times the amount of capital we
have and multitudes of good people who
come to identify themselves with our in
terests, while they seek for themselves
satisfactory and profitable investments.
Very respectfully, w. J. NoRTHEN,
Governor of Georgia.
