Panama City pilot., 1908-09-24
East Bay Canal.

This project is receiving the earnest
attention of the greater portion of
South Western Georgia and South
East Alabama, and the Commercial
Clubs and other public bodies in that
territory are all doing more or less to
promote the same, in connection with
the Improvement of the ChattahOo-
chez, Flint, Apalachicolaa an d
Chipola rivers.
The proposed waterway improve
ment is intimately connected with the
deepening of the entrance of this
harbor, and is so looked upon by the
Engineer Corps and prominent Off
cials. The following letter from Hon
IL. ID. Clayton, of Eufaula, Ala, to
Miss Carlisle, explains that gentle
mems position in the matter.
EUFAULA, ALA, Sept. II, 1908.
Miss LILLIAN CARLISLE.
Galloway, Fla.
Your several articles in behalf of
the improvement of the harbOr at St
Andrews Bay read with much
pleasure. | am heartily in favor of
getting all the necessary Federal aid
to deepen and improve this valuable
harbOr. Deep water at st Andrews
Bay will be of vast benefit not only
to the people of Florida but to the
people of southeast Alabama and
southwest Georgia. | am heartily in
founr nf thiC
Yours very truly,
ii. ID. CLAYTON.
Miss Carlisle has received many
very encouraging letters recently
upon this subject which her articles
have inspired and this lady now urges
that st Andrews Bay form an I'm
prOvement or Commercial Club for
the further exploitation of the sub
ject.
The suggestion is good one and
should be acted upon at once. Every
place of any Importance needs such
an organization that they may take
part, through its representatives, in
the many public gatherings connect
ed with the present agitation for
better means of transportation, &c.
Without such representative our Bay
country is placed at quite a disad-
vantage,

When Korea Led the World

Few are aware that Korea preceded
Europe in inventing three things which
have had a vast influence upon the world.
Printing with movable types originated in
Korea in 1924. 128 years before the inven-
ton OF the art in Europe. The two other
inventions which the Koreans seem to
have anticipated Europe were the mortar
and the ironclad. both used with consider
able effect during the Japanese-Ko

A VOICE FROM GEORGIA
For the Consideration Of independent
Tobacco Growers.

The following poem written by Sid
ney Lanier in 1870 shows that some of
the questions that engage farmers
now were old even in that day; and
there are still Joneses who have their
private argument" When so many
are railing against trusts as the cause
OF all their Ills and against John d.
Rockefeller as the incarnation of the
trust spirit, it is interesting to know
that the General Education Board in
cooperation with the Southern Educa-
ton Board. has for years been trying
through farmers Institutes and other
agencies to induce the Southern far.
mer to diversity his crops and to use
better agricultural methods. The
funds for this educational campaign
for the benefit Of Southern farmers
have largely been supplied by Mr.
Rockefeller. II farmers would use the
practical common sense that Mr..
Rockefeller is willing to pay for hav-
Ing commended TO them, they would
Ne hess easy picking for trusts and cor
porations. They would at least make
the game more interesting for the cor
porations. "Jones's" short-sighted
grasping has kept the cotton planter in
the clutches of the cotton manufac-
turer. az the independent tobacco
planter threatens to keep the tobacco
growers in the clutches OF the Tobac.
co Trust.
