awaiting developments in Japan's

South Georgia is rich in it's va

South Georgia is bound to be-
come in a few years a great
stock raising section. On the
range cattle and sheep can pas
ture the year round, while it has
been proven that cassava and vel
vet beans make an almost per-
feet fattening ration, producing
beef equal in quality to that of
Western in one-half the time and
less than half the cost. In ex-
periments made with hogs it has
been shown that pork can be
made for one cent per pound with
eassava, as against three cents
per pound with corn; and that
the native "razorback" will, with
the same care and feed, produce
more dressed meat than the
cross-bred animal. The farmers
of Brooks county have shown
that there is great profit in rails
! ing pork for the market.

Georgia has been principally con-
fined to saw and planning mills, it

The Growth and Glory OF South Georgia
Wonderful Fertility Of Soil. Healfbfu, Climate

Twenty years ago to speak o.
South Georgia as an agricultural
section was to evoke a smile Of
derision, if not violent vocal dis.
lclaimer. Then it was claimed
TO be only fit abode for COP hers
and salamanders-a desert OF
sand and swamp whose on1v re.
deeming feature was the yellow
pine which grew upon it. 1t was
supposed to be the home of ma
laria and mosquitoes, shakes and
shakes.
The saw mill and turpentipe
operators who pitched their
camps among the pines and here
and there planted a small field
developed the fact that the soilof
South Georgia was not a bed of
sterile sand, but was rich in pro-
ductlveness-that all the crops
grown in other sections of the
state could be prod uced in South
Georgia in greater abundance
with less labor; that not only was
the soil more productive, but it
would better withstand flood and
drouth. It took time to convince
people Of these facts, but the con-
vlctlon gradually grew, aud the
last decade has seena growth ia
population and prosperity which
is almost marvellous.
To.give some idea of the extent
ct this growth, I give the follow
ing facts and figures from the
United States census reports and
the reports of the com ptroller
general of Georgia, showing the
increase in population and wealth
in the counties of Dolly, Worth,
Irwin, Berrien and Lowndes
within ten years, from 1890 to
1000. y s*a''
In these counties the total in
crease of population was 38,O46,
an average increase for each
county of IT'S per cent, while
Fulton county, with it's hustling
city of Atlanta, made an increase
of 80 per cent, a little, over one
half of that made by the South
Georgia counties. In the same
period twenty-one towns sprang
into existence along the line of
the Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway, between Macon and
Valdosta, ranging in population
from 100 to 3, 143. Il
In these same counties, in the
same period, the total increase in
assessed valuation of property
was $4,037,639 or an average of
$807, 527, an increase of $1O6 per
capita of increased popu1a ton,
and this in face of the fact that
many of the older counties show
ed a decrease in assessed valua'
ton.
While the saw mill and turpen-
tine ind ustries have contributed
much to the wealth of South
Georgia, its growth and prosper
lty has been mainly d ne to it's ag-
ricultural deYelopement. AS the
forests we're cut off, the lands
were taken up by hardy and in
dustrious farmers who have raised
their own meat and corn, leaving
their cotton and syru p as a cash
surplus crop. In South Georgia
you find few large plantations
cultivated by croppe RS, the large
ma ority being small farms, cul-
tivated by their owners. These
farmers appreciate the value of
economical methods and labor
saying implements, and as a con-
sequence their farms are kept
Up in good shape and presentevi-
dencesof prosperity aud homes
Of happiness.

the soil and the methods of farm.

ton. There is no section in the
United States that can rival South
Georgia in the production of sug-
ar cane having so high percent
age saccharine matter, it being
SIS per cent. higher than that of
Louisiana. The fame of Georgia
cane syrup is already @far-reach-
ing, and it is every year extend
ing.
+ Within the past ten years there
have been more lines OF railroad
built in South Georgia than in any
other section of the state, and it's
railroad facilities are now as great
if not greater than the older set
tied sections.
That the people of South Geor-
gla have high regard for relig-
ion and education is evidenced by
the character of their church and
school buildings, which will COM
pare favorably with those of any
section, and these are also evil
dences of the characterofscciety.
In the towns will be found pri-
vate residences that would do
credit to the older and larger
cities.
While South Georgia was for
many years regarded by those
who had never visited it as being
unhealthy, its reputation in that
respect has undergone decided
change since the facts regarding
it have become known. There
are few sections which can show
more robust and helthy classof
people, and the fact that during
the yellow fever epidemic, when
the cities of middle and North
Georgia quarantined against the
refugees, the South Georgia
towns opened their doors and
never had case of fever, shows
the inherent hea1thfu1ness of the
section. John F. Green, who
moved from middle Georgia to
the lower part of Doo1y county,
writes me: Il have been here six
years and have not had doctor
in my family" 2"
| cannot more appropriately
close this sketch of South Geor-
gia than by quoting from a letter
written by John Temple Graves
to the Atlanta Journal, after a
visit to this section.
10 citizen proud of the state
and emulous of progress there
can be no more suggestive and
inspiring experience than a face
to face observation Of the grow tn
and the promise of South Geor-
gia.
1t is expressing it conservative
ly to say that South Gecrgia's day
has come-and come apparently
to stay. The spirit Of progress
has shifted its capital from the
hills and valleys of the North to
the level plains and the prolific
forests of the South. The genius
of growth has followed the seas
ons and gone to the milder zone.
Certain it is that no man, hay
ing been long absent from the
southern section of the sta te,
can revisit South Georgia at this
time without a sense Of ar age
ment and delight.
Time was, and I recall it,
when TO spend a summer amid
the supposed malaria of South
Georgia was deemed equivalent
to written invitation to fever and
death. Now the artesian wells
flowing crystal and free through
all these Southwestern towns
have made the wircgrass as
healthfu1 as the Piedmont hills,
and demonstrated to certainty
that 1t Is malaqua and not malaria
that has been the curse of South
