SOUTH GEORGIA.
From the Savannah Press.

What magnificent tribute to the prosper
ity of South Georgia is furnished by the tax
returns made to the comptroller general What
a justification for every confidence and inspi-
ration to every optimistic hope!
In the van comes Worth county, showing an
increase in tax values of million and quarter
of dollars. Mitchell, with increase of 81, 128,-
600, is but little behind in the race. Chatham
shows nearly million increase, Emanuel $778,-
600, Irwin $65O,0OO, Bulloch $559,000, Montgom-
cry $467, 200, Thomas $4,000, Wayne 900,
Lowndes $285,OOO, and so on down the list, with
scarce break in this marvellous record of COM
mercial, manufacturing and agricultural pros
perity.
Here, indeed, is Gods own country, show
ing in material advancement with what gener.
GUS and lavish wealth the Creator has endowed
this section of the state. More, it shows how
the people have improved their advantages and
justified their administration of their trust. If
the records went deeper into the facts they DEM
onstrate how largely we are indebted for these
increases to men from other sections of Georgia
and from other states, who have perceived the
advantages South Georgia offers and have spsnt
their time and money in it's development.
They have prospered with the places they
have made their homes. There is room for
many more of like enterprising and public spirit
to cast their fortunes with South Georgia No
where are there larger opportunities for safe
and profitable investment are charac-
ter, talent and industry more certain to receive
just recognition and adequate reward.
The Press points with pride to the record
of stately and triumphant progress shown in
the books of the comptroller general. We COM
mend its perusal and diligent consideration to
the investor and homeseeker in every state in
the union. We cordially invite good men every
where to share our advantages and enjoy our
prosperity.

Men Badly Wanted.

From Brunswick Journal
From nearly every part of Georgia and more
especially from the industrial and agricultural
districts of the state, comes the same story, the
cry for workmen. In the cotton fields on the
truck farms, in the saw mills and the lumber
camps there is keenly felt scarcity of labor.
Building operations are more or less delayed,
for carpenters and brickayers; it has been we'll
nigh impossible to secure here at home sufic-
lent supply of laborers to increase the develop
ment of manufacturing and mining to meet the
pressing demand for larger consumption the
cotton fields are suffering for the want of indus
trious laborers. Every manufacturer, railroad
operator and farmer in Georgia is now facing
the problem of where to get sufficient labor to
develop the great resources of this state.
This same labor shortage prevails nearly
all over the state. We must have more labor.
The resources are here in unlimited quantities.
The demand for larger production is great and
growing steadily greater. There must be labor
ers to develop these resources and supply that
demand. The shortage in the supply is due
largely not only to the unwi1lingness of many
negroes to work at all, but also to the unftfu1-
ness of many Of those already at work. AS a
we'll known writer suggests, the remedy for the
present situation to the advantage of southern
industry and the negro alike lies in compelling
the negro to self exertion and this writer adds,
He must learn that he must work regularly or
he will be given no work, and the quickest way
to teach him his lesson is to confront him with
men possessing the race sense of thrifty energy.
The solution of the problem lies 10 the
bringing of Industrious. law abiding immigrants
to Georgia. Industrial men and farmers all
over the state have given thought to this subject
agree that Georgia needs not less than twenty
thousand of desirable immigrants to remove the
labor difficulty now widely recognized ia this
state and growing more and more serious.
There is some ground for the belief that
medicated spring has been discovered about two
and one-half miles from Fitzgerald. 1t has been
tested by several parties and found to have heal
ing qualities. The water has been sent to
chemist for analysis. If it proves of value a
large sanitarium will be erected nearby.-Hawk-

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Adopted by the Directors Of the
Sumter Savings Bank.

On April 18th, 1905, after long
and painful illness the worthy Presi-
dent of our bank, Mr.. Horace Hardy,
passed away leaving a void in the
community felt by all, especially by
the Board of Directors of the Sum-
ter Savings Bank, with whom Mr..
Harby's intercourse in the past few
years had been most intimate and
confidential.
Each member of the Board feels
a personal loss to the association of
a manly man of high character, and
one who, brilliant in all business
transactions, was socially sympa-
thetic, kindly and agreeable.
Mr.. Hardy was the President of
this bank from its organization, and
his high business qualifications are
illustrated by the successful career
of this institution.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED,
That is the opinion Of this Board of
Directors the State and County has

courageous citizen, and this institu-
ton has lost friend

DEATH.

Mr.. William A. Cooper died at the
home of his brother, Mr.. R: M. Coop
er, at Wisacky Saturday night about
Z O'Clock, after long and painful ILL
ness. The funeral was held at II
o'clock Monday at Brick Church. and
the body laid to rest in the family plot
in the church yard.
Mr.. Cooper was the olGest son Of
the late C. W. Cooper Of Salem and
all his life was spent in Sumter, his
native county. As a mere boy he saw
arduous service in the War Between
the States and ms all circumstances he
ACQUITTED himself like a man and as
became lineal descendant of one Of
-Marion's Men,; In '76 he was one
of the most active and fearless of the
Red Shirts and at all times and un-
der all circumstances when a man
was needed to do his duty to the pub
lie "Bilp' Cooper was ready and will
ing to take his place in the post of
danger. He counted his friends by
the hundred and was ever welcome
addition to any circle. Courteous,
genial and ture and steadfast friend,
he will be missed by all who knew
him.
Mr.. Cooper never married, but his
brothers, r. NJ. Cooper and A. T..
Cooper, of Wisacky, F. P. Cooper,
of. Charleston and DR.. H. w. Cooper,
of cheraw and his sisters, Mrs. Wal
ter Cheyne, of this city, and Mrs. Pc
trie, Of Virginia, survive him.
Mrs. Rosa I. Cooper died on Mon
day at her home near Wisacky after
a brief illness. The funeral was held
at II O'Clock Tuesday morning at
Brick church
Z Mrs. Cooper was the. widow Of the
late G.. W. Cooper of Salem, and was
about e5 years of age. She was ma
tive Of Washington, Ca, and a mem
Der of an old and prominent ante bel
lum family Of that place.
She had lived in this county so long
that she was thoroughly identified
with its people and in the communi-
ties, Salem and Mt. Zion, in which
she resided, was most generally and
sincerely beloved. A woman of su-
perior education, strong and decided
character and charming manners, she
made a lasting impression upon those
with whom she was associated. She
raised a large family and her life was
given to their service. Those who re-
ceived her loving care and the inspi-
ration Of her counsel and encourage
ment have long called her name
blessed and her memory will be while
life lasts q benefaction. Her life was
the exemplifcation of the beauties of
Christian womanhood and her end
was peace.
Her surviving children are: Mr.. F.
P. Cooper, of Charleston; DR.. H. W.
Cooper, Of Cheraw, Mrs. Walter
cheyne, of this city and Mr.. A. T.
