PERIOD OF GREATEST PROGRESS

"The South will ENJOY in the
next twenty years what The North
west has enjoyed IN the past
twenty yeaTs-that is, the great
est period OF success in her
history John W. Gates.
The South is to enjoy the greatest
period of her progress and pros
perity during the next twenty
years. We all believe this. We
all believe that in this great
onward movement of the South
Georgia will be in the lead, far
SURPRISING in its development in
every direction that of any other
State of the South, if not of the
entire country Georgia, we know,
with its variety of climate, of
natural resources, mineral and az
r1cultural, wealth its practically
untouched water power and vast
Industrial possibilities, has hardly
as yet begun its vast onward
march. Great as we may think
its progress to have been during
the past ten years it will sink into
insignificance compared to what It
will be during the next ten.
1t may be tiresome to some to
dwell on these facts, yet it is of
vital importance that we appre-
ciate them at their full value. 1t
is only by knowing and accepting
them that we will be stimulated to
put forth the exertions necessary
to win for us our proportionate
share of this tremendous develop
ment that is coming upon this
State and section. 1t is for this
reason that the Times Recorder has
dwelt upon, and will continue to
dwell upon, the work that Ameri-
Gus must do increasingly to put
itself in position to secure its full
share of the blessing the future
holds in store for the entire South.
The South's greatest period of
progress is Just ahead. This state
ment should apply with peculiar
force to Americas. Every man in
this city should feel within his
heart that the period of greatest
prosperity and development for
Americas is also just ahead. Once
all of our people begin to feel this
way it will be impossible to hold
back Americas. 1t will go
forward from the sheer Impulse
that will be given to it by united,
courageous and sanguine citizenry.
The Times Recorder will never
allow an opportunity to pass to i'm
press this upontour people. 1t may
seem like a twice-told tale, but it
cannot be told too often. It cannot
be impressed too strongly upon
our people. 1t will accumulate
force and develop new meaning
with every repetition.
The greatest progress and pros
perity of Americas is just ahead.
Take that fact to heart. Think
owe. it. And then work to make
that prosperity greater than even
our most sanguine hopes would
have it.

So notorious have become the cases
of assault amounting in two recent
cases to murder that Police Commits

explain that his army of policemen is
insufficient to cope with this particu-

allow their little ones to wander aim

Driven mad through suffering, she

difficulty was placed In restraint.
When her mental condition became
apparent the girl was taken to the
Kings county hospital. There in
lucid interval she told a pitiful story
of assault, many of the details OF

fans, she was left in a state to her
frenzied mind which suggested only
suicide. 1t is a question whether she

of his infant daughter, he did not
