vigOr and enterprise.
The next conclusion that | would
draw is that the building of the Pana-
ma Canal is starting a revolution in
the south in manufactures and in ag
riculture and | believe there will be
more immigration to the Gulf coast
next year than at any time in the
history of the country. Most certainly
there is great need of new blood. The
south has great opportunities, but is
rot taking advantage of them to the
fullest.

Advantages of the South.

Do you appreciate the advantages
of the south? According to a writer
i'm Colemans Rural World they are
many and varied. There is but little.
ie any exaggeration. in the story that
he tells. But fortunately, most of our
farmers are more enterprising than
the one that he met. They may work
harder for their money but they get
more real enjoyment from its use.
The letter was written from Pensa-
cola. But all that he describes as
being done along the Gulf coast in
Georgia and Alabama, can also be
done quite as well, in some respects
better, i'm this state.
Were the farmers of the south
country to devote half as much time
to the profession as the tiller of the
soil i'm the middle states, he would
have to build cribs to hold his money,
whereas the northern farmer builds
cribs to hold his corn that is fed out
to live stock during seven months of
the year. Here on the Gulf coast live
stock have paSturage for ten long
MONTHS. One good stock paper edited
along your line would do more for
the south. if you could get the ''Crack
err farmer to read it and follow its
teachings. than a lump sum of govern
ment bounty as large as that voted
i'm the Panama Canal Purchase Hap
PLY there is no politics in the Gulf
cOuntry-all the votes go one way and
therefore there should be more time
for work i'm the diversified ways of
making a living. yet there is no in
tenSive farming and the towns are
ahead of the agricultural communities
Many old plantations have gone to
waste i'm the interior. though there is
a fringe of new settlements in nearly
every county. The cause for this neg
Iect i'm agricultural pursuits is not
from lack of fertility or due to non
prOductiveness of the soil. but is based
on the fact that there is little occasion
for laying away supplies for the Win
ter.
Something is growing all the time
Stock live in the open the year round
whereas. if they were sheltered from
the chilling rains of January and Civ
en- feed they would emerge from the
so-called winter of parched grass fat
and sleek. The range cattle are fat
as mOles at this time. They are
practically starved part of the winter.
and i'm spring the Crackers cattle
will be only stacks of bones. Lumber
is about the cheapest commodity in
the country, and slight shelter could
be had at nominal cost. Nearly
any kind of feed can be grown and

on his pipe ten minutes before he
replied: wal. about thirty, | guess"
Then | asked him in detail and found
that he had ten acres of cotton that
yielded almost bale to the acre: one
acre of cane that produced 300 gallons
of mOlasses, which he sold for 40 cents
a gallon: five acres of ill-tended corn
that produced about % bushels to the
acre: a few acres of oats that were
cut and fed in the sheaf. quite equal
to the best Indiana oats. He had a
few acres of upland rice that yielded
equal to any of the irrigated crops,
but had made no effort along that
line. He had two acres in Irish and
sweet potatoes. The Irish potatoes
he sold for S1.OO bushel. and the
sweet averaging about 100 to $50
bushels to the acre, sold for 50 cents
to S1.OO a bushel He will have a
second crop of Irish potatoes this fall.
With a garden crop. this was all he
had. You see how careless he was
when he said he had thirty acres I'm
cultivation. The homestead had been
in the family generation or two, and
he had never burned out % per cent
of the stumps. His house had never
been painted and he had lived i'm it
for 25 years. ''Really hain't never got

Door man when he came south
year ago. He had been working
for other settlers and therefore had
not done much on his own account.
He had crossed up the native big
frame sheep with breeds from the
north. and now has start for fine
flock of sheep. ''The sheep never
have anything the matter with them.
and will make lot of money out of
nv flock" he remarked. Then |
learned what few people know. that
the raising of AngOra goats is getting
to be still better industry on the
Gulf coast; that their hair is used
for fine wraps for ladies, for plush car
seats. and that the animals go 10 the
Chicago and Kansas City stock yards
by the thousands as goats and come
20 you northern people over the
butchers block as mutton. These
goats are the best things the farmer
can have to clear up the land.
This coast country provides future
source of supply for the north in fruit
and garden truck. There are miles
and miles of peach orchards i'm south
Alabama where there were only
stumps of long-leaf pines a short time
ago. But let me remark that the
work of improvement is being done
by men from the north, and there is
a world of work Yet to be done.
There is some peril in the fact that
many of these lands are being bought
by large syndicates and prices are
being advanced rapidly. 1t should al
so he borne i'm mind that there are
many sections without any clay sub
soil. where nothing will ever be pro-
duced. but it is my observation that
there is fortune, also health here for
millions of people who will never have
anything of their own if they remain
in the north.
As to native stock: The cattle are
roor lot. descendants of an old Span
iSh strain. showing a breed of over Il
hundred years and further damaged
by being crossed with Jerseys. so
that they are Il nondescript lot. from
which the earth should be relieved.
Once in while you will find a man
who has brought i'm thoroughbred
HerefOrds from below the quarantine
line and made success IN crossing
the native cattle. and doubled the
size of calves at weaving time. Here
fords are the favOriteS. because they
wild on the range. 1t is told as by
authority that several of the big pack
ers have their agents picking up the
best grass lands in fhe south for
future grazing. The local demands
in all southern cities are now supplied
with dressed beef from Kansas City.
Most of the native hogs go to Cuba.
The Cubans want just that sort of Il
hog. Some of these raZOrbacks would
be formidable foes if you were to
meet them in the woods: they can
run like greyhOunds and leap across
fallen logs without any difficulty.
Recently | drove across the southern
tier of counties in Alabama and was
struck by the sturdy corn. In no other
sections had there been such a change
from cotton and hell to corn and pros
perity as in this tier. The corn in
many cases will average 30 to go bush

weedy, and in most cases injured by

Side Walks.

The recent spell of wet weather
and muddy sidewalks, and the
hardship caused to the people liv-
ing on the back streets, who had to
wade in water and mud to get out
of their homes, and exposed them
to sickness, has convinced Mayor
Fournet and the Councilmen that
a good substantial system of side.
walk was an absolute, an urgent
necessity, and that side walks
should be built all over the corpo-
rate limits.
We learn that the authorities
are working on an ordinance that
will leave the construction of the
side walks with the town authori-
ties, under contract, and the pro-
perry owners will be charged for
the side walk built in front of their
property at so mnch running foot.
In this way the side walks will be
constructed, uniformly and all at
the same time, and the property
owners who will refuse to pay the
bill promptly, will be sued and
payment enforced thronght the
courts.
The time is fully ripe for the
agitation of side walks, and We
trust that the Council will exact
that the side walks of Main street
be made in cement or pressed
brick, and that they be made ON
the same level and same curbing
and uniform.
This side walk ordinance will
perhaps have the effect of the cut
ting of the small plantations we
have in the corporate limits and
they will be sold for reasonable
prices; it is ridiculous to take into
consideration the large lots of
some people and how expensive it
will be to side walk a whole square.
| Those of our people who have
more property than they can take
care of in the town limits should
sell some of it, there is demand
for lots provided they are sold at
reasonable prices, and we are Of
opinion that the sidewalk ordi-
nance strictly enforced will result
in the division of the large tracts
of lands in this town for which ex-
horbitant and unreasonable prices
are asked, with the argument that
land is bond to increase in value,
and in the meantime the progress
and development of the town is
checked.
By ell means pass the sidewalk
ordinance and enforce it, and it
will not be long for the people to
appreciate the convinience of q
good system of side walks.
