HON. JOSEPH NJ. BROWN

1t is good news to the hosts of bust
ness men of Georgia that Hon. JOSEPH
NJ Brown of Marietta, has decided to
enter the race for Governor at the
coming primaries.
Coupled with the announcement IS
the platform upon which Mr.. Brown
will offer himself to the citizens oi
Georgia. This platform includes: A
return to the annual system of paying
Confederates. reduction of taxation,
regulation of railroads along rational
lines relieving the Railroad Commits
sion of jurisdiction over telephone
gas and electric plants, cotton com
PRESSES and street railways, strict
enforcement of the prohibition law, a
law against lobbying, discouragement
of undesirable immigration, establish
ment of a department of Labor. the
assurance to capital that investments
will be given equal protection of the
law and a friendly consideration by
the lawmakers.
This platform is one which certain
lv will appeal to every citizen who
has the interests of the state at heart
Compared with the present regime, il
sounds like one of the fairy stories
which begins "once upon a time.
The personality of Mr.. Brown is

ner in which Gov. Smith threw hin
off the Railroad Commission because
the Commissioner dared stand up fol
right and reason, will help him IL
his campaign. The people who believe
in fair play are in the majority.
Reports from over the state are
encouraging for the candidacy of Mr.
Brown. Whether he will be able t.
overcome the willingness of many vo
tiers to allow a second term regard
less, remains to be seen. But II Mr.
Brown is not elected, he will be doin&

Americas, Ga, March 20, 1908.
RAPID DEVELOPMENT AHEAD FOR
AMERICUS.

There is probably as much building
going on, or in immediate prospect,
in Americas at this time, as in any
other city of 10000 to 10000 popula-
ton in Georgia. Twelve to fifteen
dwellings are either in course of con-
struction or being contracted for.
This is a spring awakening that is
of more than ordinary interest. Des-
pite the feeling of depression that yet
posters the entire country, Americas
is up and doing. Unwilling to sit
idly by, its people are on the alert,
eager for opportunities of develop
ment, and taking advantage of every
one that offers.
We do not know how it is going to
be in other cities, but the outlook is
for a somewhat phenomenal year in
the building line in this city. The
construction of the electric railway
will give a decided stimulus to build
ing, to begin with. 1t will open new
territory to the home makers of the
community Americas today is the
most compactly built small city in
the South. That is the opinion of all
travellers. Because of this it has
been enabled to carry on public i'm
proyements that could not have been
possible if it had been scattered over
a wide area, as so many disjointed
smaller cities are. But the time has
now come when it must expand to
enable it's people to have ground at
reasonable prices for their homes, to
enable them to have sufficient land to
meet the demand for pretty surround
ings. The electric railway comes at
the opportune moment and will be a
out of the city's built up limits.
There are many families in Ameri-
Gus OCCUPYING parts of houses or
boarding, or rooming, who would be
glad of an opportunity to have a
small home. When the street railroad
is in operation the opportunity will
be theirs. The demand for pretty
small homes must create supply of
them There is ample capital here
seeking investment. No better invest
ment can be found than in homes for
the multitude. Hence we believe that
this year will probably see more
houses built than Americas has had
erected in any recent year. Some
say the number may approach one
hundred But even an addition of
fifty homes to a city the size of Am
CIRCUS in twelve months would be
progress that would be more than
gratifying.
Americas simply cannot be held back
This is the fact to keep before you.
But the rapidity of it's development
will be trebled if the business section
is paved.

A small man will not need so large
a machine, and an individual of Secre-
tary Tafts proportionate would need
one Of special make. The spread of

about 20 feet, and the rudder will
hardly be visible from the ship in the
air.
The operator will have a seat di-
rectly under the conceived wings.
1t may be found necessary to start
the craft from an elevation. This
point is occupying the attention of
Mr.. Holland now and is the only OBJ
stacle, he says, in the way of its COM
plete perfection.

HOke as a HumOrist
Griffin Newsl

During all it's history Georgia has
been renowned not only for its many
genuine humorists, men who could
naturally make or play a joke or
point witticism during any hour OF
the twenty-four, but for the sense of
humor of most of its people that en-
abled them to appreciate joke. This
sense has served them in good stead
in many an hour when only the humor
of it saved the situation.
Two years ago he played the joke
on us of making us believe that the
railroads were robbing us of four mil
lion dollars year by freight rates,

Next to having money, the most
important thing is how to take care
of it-how best to invest it.
A Banking Institution of this kind
cannot only care for your financial
interests in a careful, conservative
way-giving you abundant banking
facilities in every department of fin
ance-brt can also give you valuable
aid and advice about investments and
securities. Open an account with
the Bank of South Western Georgia's
Savings Department and enjoy the
advantages that accrue.

this subject
