Swamp Lands

At the last session of Con-
gress Senator John Walter
Smith procured the adoption of
an amendment to a bill provid-
ing for a survey of swamp
lands, including Maryland in
the proposed survey. This
State has an area of swamps as
large as a goodsized county.
In many of the Southern States
there are far larger areas. The
Southern Congressman contend
that it is as much a legitimate
Federal undertaking TO drain
swamp lands as it is to irrigate
arid lands. In irrigation a
vast treasure has been expend-
ed and the work is still going
on. The work of drainage is
more important because the
land reclaimed would be in the
centres of population and the
reclamation would not only in
crease the wealth of the coun-
try and provide homes and
gainful occupation for many
people. but ii would improve
the pubic health and comfort
of "A large existing population.
The only material difference in
the theory Of Federal activity
in draining and irrigating is
that while the lands where irri-
CATION is going on belong to the
United States, the swamp lands
belong 10 the respective States
or TO individuals. But this diff
ficulty might possible be adj
iusted The drainage of the
swamps on the South Atlantic,
the Gulf Coast and the Lower
Mississippi would be a great
blessing to all that section. -

The Way to Advance Our
Town.

Snow Hill has the reputation
of being a wealthy town, and
it is a fact that we have a num-
Der of citizens who are fairly
well off, and it is also a fact
that many of these citizens
have not dollar invested in
anything that gives employ
ment to a number of people.
We are not criticising them for
this. but we desire it to be
known that we are appealing
TO the pride of such, as well as
TO suggest to them that they
can make more money by in
vesting some of their wealth
in factories than they can in
mortgages, or other so-called
gilt-edge secureties 1t is pos
sible to make Snow Hill a regu.
lar beehive of industry, to in
crease her population several
thousand in few years, and to
put money into the pockets Of
those who help to do this
rather than to ask them for
charity. The writer never did
believe in soliciting men to en-
gage in manufacturing "FOR
THE BENEFIT OF THE
TOWN" and in going around
hunting strangers to start in.
dustries here when our own
people have the money with
which TO do it themselves. We
do not want to lose sight of the
fact that when we start in
business TO make money for
ourselves, we give employment
to other men and women, and
do an unreasonable amount Of
good.
Our people want to remem-
Der that it is not the industry,
for which we can find raw ma
terial right at our hand that
always pays the best. If it
was Lynn, Massachusetts,,
would never have been a great
shoe manufacturing center, as
there are no hides obtainable
there. Baltimore would never
have been the greatest spot on
earth for the manufacturing of
straw hats,a as no straw is grown
there, etc, etc.

duct of which can find a broad

and president OF the Corn Products

pessimistic utterances on the country's
business prospects attributed to James
j. Hill. said:
II can not share in the pessimistic
views taken by Mr.. Hill. I believe we
are going to have slow but healthy
recovery in business with gradual
strengthening of confidence. AS mat
ter of fact the foundation for healthy
recovery from the recent loss of con-
fidence and business depression has all
ready been laid.
Business is going to be conducted
along sound and conservative lines. and
by spring Of next year there is every
reason to believe conditions will have
shown q material Improvement from
the present level Our business Is
large and the outlook good"
There was something like collapse
in prices in the stock market yester-
day. the main influence in the decline
being ascribed to Mr.. Hills gloomy
predictions.

much the view OF Mr.. Hill. which also
