LOOKING AHEAD.

. trlends go Soutn. ihdL Is the ADVICE
the Captains Of Industry are giving &c
} capitalists. large and small. And
, they are saying more than that 70
some. to those who are capable and
trustworthy; they are saying. take
some of my capital with you. and In
vest it there for me-"
How" says the young man, "and
; in what?" In almost any old thing. "
says the capitalists; lin farm lands.
or mineral lands. or timber lands or
city property. or street cars, or inter
urban railways; they are all good; be-
cause the South is just starting to
grow. and the people down there do
not seem to have begun to realize yet
that the investors of the world have
surveyors in their fields, and
accountants at work, getting
ready to tunnel mountains and bridge
rivers and build railroads and electric
car lines to develop their country. Go
South. young man, and plant my capt.
tai there, and your own. and ii will
grow; grow faster than a green bay
tree"
And Maury county Is the garden
spot of the South. But everybody
does not know that And they need
to be told. How? Through the mag
azines of the country, and the press
of the country. California advertises,
and what has It done for California?
Texas advertises, and what has it
done for Texas? The great West ad-
vertisers, and what has 1t done for the
West? California and Texas and the
great West had the goods" and ad-
vertising did the rest. They might
have kept their goods until doomsday,
if they had not told the world what
they had Maury county has the
goods has always had the goods; but
Maury county needs advertising; needs
telling the people of all the states
what we have for sale: what induce
ments we have to offer; what chances
for investment or speculation; what
fortunes have been made, what for
tunes are being made, what fortunes
may be made.
What a town and county we have
here to advertise, if we only had the
money. And we have the money, if
We only had the heart or the sense or
he judgment to part with It,
Advertising away from home will
,ring new customers and new !
rade into this country, just like adj =
,ertising at home will make trade be-
ween local buyers, dealers and spec
llators. And the more buyers the q
aster the trading and the better the s
rice. a
What's the use whiting sticks and h
hrowing boquets at ourselves. What n
re need is to advertise our climate 60
nd our resources to the world: to u
how faith enough in "our wares" to u,
ak about them in the public print, :,
nd to invite people from everywhere !.
, come and see. And for the money j.
, do that, for the thousands of dollars =
lat it would take to do that, we 9,

out. Things are coming our way

CHI and every able-bodied man who
i'll work is making money; but you
nnot boom a town without putting :.
, the stuff to do 1t with. The Co

" good because they are not spend ~

ending any money because they I'd

II have to spend 1t, before they can
complish anything
Columbia ought to reach out and
ng things this way. The Electric
erurban Railway Is the biggest
ng that is coming this way. What -
we had another one or two coming
5 way. The road from Nashville to
Pleasant will split the county wide OF
n, and will be as accessible to as -
ny people as any road could be. y ~
1t will not reach any portion of '"a
southern part of the county. SuI'- pie'
e we had another electric car line, 'aih

Wouldn't that help Columbia h'h'

Southern part of the county? And the
lldn't it help the whole county? chin
n we could say to the world, look an

at our electric car line; our coun- II b
