NEW YORK, April IA staff cor

Southern Outlook" as follows:
4 In tho present state of business SEN
timent q general survey Of conditions
in the Southern states is of moro than
ordinary interest, not only because OF
the Importance Of Its agriculture to
the rest of tho country, but also be-
cause of it's growing industrial inllu-
ence, its steady commercial expansion,
and its increasing financial indcpcn-s
dence.
From tho agricultural standpoint the
portion OF the country south of the
Potomac and east Of the Mississippi
was. never so completely in command
of itself as it is to-day. It's methods
! OF farming are superior, because they
| are, being put on q more permanent MAJ
| basis of prosperity than at any earlier
stage of it's history. There is moro
money in farming, not only as an In,
! vestment, but also as an income and
the people arc physically, financially,
| and mentally better equipped for maxi
| ing more out of their opportunities,
| There Is q higher degree of intelli-
1 gence directing labor and capital in
4 their application to land than has pro-
badly ever been the case before.
! These elements count for permanent
1 and safe advancement along tho lines
/ in which Southern agriculture has
made its mark. in the growing Of cot

This is an "off-year' in city as in

the council, Aldermen Bolton, Sher-

to discuss candidates and issues, while
others who aspire to Office political

of making it interesting.

VETERANS CAN'T
GET REDUCED RATE

SAVANNAH, October 17.-(SpeciaD
Special rates for conventions and
reunions are no longer to be had for
the mere asking on some of the roads
at least.
This fact became known when a
committee from McLaw's Camp
Confederate Veterans, reported it's
failure to get either special car
or reduced rate for those who want
to attend the state reunion at Angus
ia next month.
The committee reported than an eff
fort had been made to get some salts
faction from the Central officials re-
lative to special rates for trips, but
there was nothing doing. The veterans
are hopeful, however, as they expect
the Augusta Committee to meet with
more success and at least secure a
one-fare rate for the round trip. Even
at that, though, from all appearances
the railroad doesn't intend to go
about the matter with it's accustomed
alacrity.

CORDIALITY BETWEEN

Gen. Davis Brings Report
FROM The Hague.

NEW YORK, October 17.-(SpeciaD
Brig. Gen. George B. Davis, Judge
Advocate General of the United
States army, returned recently from
Europe on the steamer Zealand, hav-
ing been at the Hague as a member
of the American delegation of the
peace conference.
Regarding the relations between
the United States and Japan, Gen.
Davis said:
The relations existing between
this country and Japan were never
more amicable than at the present.
The Japanese representatives at the
Hague we're friendly toward the
members of our delegation all through
the conference and were all deeply
panied by the talk of war Ambassa-
dor Tzudzuki, head of the Japanese
delegation, gave a dinner to the Am
erican representatives when the war
talk first began to be heard, and his
speech on the occasion, in which he
reviewed the past friendly relations
Of the two countries and assured us
of the friendliness of his countrymen,
was one of the most eloquent l have
ever heard.
Coming from man of his author
ity it had the same weight as if COM
ing from Tokyo. His sincerity could
not be doubted"

IS OPPORTUNITY BEING OVER
LOOKED!

Is is not possible that the Americas
Board of Trade is overlooking an
opportunity when the distinguished
visitors from Northern states come
to Andersonville? 1t would seem that
a moderate amount of effort would be
sufficient to induce a brief visit to
Americas, at least between trains. -
Yesterday a large and distinguish
ed body of Wisconsin citizens headed
by Gov. Davidson, visited Anderson
Vile for the dedication of the monu-
ment of the state of Wisconsin.
Arriving early in the morning at
Andersonville, the delegation would
easily have had time before the cere-
monies to view the cemeterys monu-
ments, and after the exercises were
over, time no doubt hung heavily on
their hands until the arrival of the
afternoon train.
A hospitable invitation from the
Americas Board of Trade, with con-
veyances provided, with lunch at the
hotel and a trip over the city if there
were time, would no doubt have prov
ed a welcome diversion.
Aside from the touch of Southern
hospitality which such an invitation
would give, it would afford an oppor-
tunity for attracting attention to
Americas and it's business activity.
The movement among residents ofthe
wintry wind-swept states of the North
to locate in the South, is growing.
Few, if any sections of the South
offer such an inviting prospect as
Sumter county It's rich farming land
is all that could be wished for, and
the growing of small crops has al
ready proven profitable. And then
the mild winters.
But all this, and much more could
be told the visitors, even in a brief
time, and pleasant memories would
be carried back, which would bear
fruit many fold.
While it is too late to brood over
what might have been, it is not a
great while before a delegation from
will visit Andersonville,
with the Governor of the state in
the party. A little preliminary work
would no doubt result in the accep-
lance of an invitation to visit Ameri-
Gus.
First of all-get the visitors.
