Robert Hoe, the famous builder OF

get in front of it and drag it after

Agricultural Land Has Doubled in
Value Within a Year

A recent hurried trip through the
central south brought forth so many
evidences of this prosperity as to al
most daze even one long accustomed
to the steady upward movement of
the material interests of the south.
Take but a few Illustrations. One
year ago the writer travelled south
with banker from little town in
Georgia who had been north to re-
discount the notes of the banks GUS
toners in order to tide over the sit
uatiun in that community brought
about by the fear of five cent and six
cent cotton. The two banks of that
town rediscounted their notes last
year to the extent Of a one-fourth
quarter million dollars. The same two
banks this year have over one mil
lion dollars on deposit and more than
a quarter million dollars of sur
rlus money now on hand for which
they cannot find borrowers. A 1000
acre tract OF land few miles from
that town was offered last year for
$fS.500 by the owner, who has now
refused $4,000.
Further investigation on this point
led to hearing the statement made.

Nearly every state has it's free pass or
ganization. All the pass holders are or
ganized into a political force. The people
do not know it, but there is such an
organization in nearly every precinct
ward, county and state in the entire coun-
try.
This free pass organization is used as a
police force for the railroads. 1t is or
ganized to protect the railroads in their
extortionate freight and passenger charges
and in the low taxation of their property.
This pass organization dictates nominal
tons. 1t sets up weak and plant men
and pulls down strong and Independent
men. 1t builds up or destroys cities and
