Coin in Dixie,
AGENTS ARE KEPT BUSY
General Prosperity, Cotton, Prices and
Widespread Advertising Prove to
Be Drawing Faetoss. AZ
Never Before.

With the wonderful increase In the
business Of both freight and passen-
ger departments of southern railways,
industrial agents are responsible for
The statement that never was there
such d time as the present, SO far as
investors and homeseekers in the
south are concerned. These officials
say that the advertising which the
south enjoyed the past year in news
papers all over the country on ac-
count Of the high prices paid for cot
ton has been attracting the attention
of capitalists and investors as never
before.
Never in history have the agents
received SO many queries as to con-
ditions and favorable opportunities
etc. And the number Of persons who
are coming south.at this time for the
purpose OF looking over the ground
personally is quite in keeping with
the heavy volume OF ,corfespo ondence-
Winter is always the, time when the
land and industrial agents are BUSIEST.
for it is at this season that men Of
the north, east and west come down
to Dixie both for the purpose OF get
ting away from the bitter cold and.
at the same time to get in touch with
chances for investing their money tos
the best advantage. s@s
For the last few years this num-
ber has been growing very rapidly
because OF the wonderful resources
of the south and the marvellous der
velopment made possible by the grove
ing prosperity OF the farmers, plan
ters and people generally OF this secS
ton These investors have not onsy
made money In the south, but they;
have gone to their old homes ana
told their friends and neighpers
the exceptional opportunities offered
to small or large capital in Dixie.
TO man railroad officials are
agreed that the wholesale .adyertisang
resulting from the great profits De-
rived from cotton this year is re-
sponsible and also the fact that the
many banks which are springing uPs
in the south in agricultural districtss
everywhere are responsible for this
influx of millionaire immigrants and z
others who have plenty OF money for
investment, even If they have NET:
reached the seven figures stage Of
wealth. The stories of southern banks
having been forced to send their
money east and west to secure inter
est on loans because OF the citizens
of the south having ready money of
their own and more on deposit With
no occasion for borrowing; have crept
into the newspapers OF the entire
country, and spread abroad the con &
ditions existing below the Potomac
and Ohio rivers. # q "a "a
Industrial agents OF southern rail-
ways say that it is not SO long ago
that they had the hardest kind OF az
time getting anything OF the true sto-
ries Of southern conditions IN the
northern newspapers, because OF the
prejudice. This prejudice was not be-;
cause of the civil war, but OF the
reputation which the south and SOUTH
erners had had this long time, be
cause of the debts and the hard times
which had existed for years. "
