this: the absolute, Supine indifer-
ence of the people themselves.
In taking stock of the manufacture
ing plants on which the South's foun-
dation of wealth is now firmly estab-
lished, it is pleasing to note the sue
cess which the small investor meets
with; with half dozen workers, the
minimum quantity of machinery, and
a nice choice in locality, many a
plant whose value now is dignifed
one, has begun in the South in the
past ten years.
Where there is no natural water
power, the wise town looks we'll to
the granting of franchises, and
weighs carefully the merits of in
dividually owned power plants as
against those operated by municip-
atty
And here is where the average
citizen of the small town changes
cars on his argument: and here is
where the average small town loses
out. All corporations are not soul
less, neither are they all over-mer-
cenary, but all are out for the money
and they need all they can get.
When a municipality binds itself
for five, ten, twenty fifty or ninety
nine years, to permit privately owned
concerns to solely control the light,
water and power franchise, the town
may just as we'll make up it's mind
that its march toward progress is
going to be in the same class as the
running qualities Of the turtle
Small factories need more conces-
siOns than the remittance of taxes;
and the greatest expense to the small
factory is, of course, light and power.
The small town referred to, needed
street railway very badly: the town
itself was of generous dimensions;
every lady couldn't afford to keep
horse and hack hire was expensive;
under an old franchise a company
composed of members living in vari-
Gus parts of the country, had for
years controlled the water and light
franchise, and it was sore point
with the natives when they counted
the money which had to go to these
strangers. Several bids were made
by other concerns for the privilege
of selling the people the lights and
water needed, and the one which
caught the native was the one which

WHY SMALL TOWNS sTAGNATE.


N the past twenty years the
upbuilding of the South has
been systematiZed to so great
an extent as to cause the
recent census to show some surpris-
ing figures. In the growth of popula-
ton, an enormous gain was shown in
many Southern towns which had been
villages only when the census pre-
viOus had been taken. In material
growth the large cities showed also
great gains, but many of the smaller
towns, outside the cotton belt, have
practically stagnated. Bids have been
made for new concerns to locate; in
ducements of sort have been Of
fered and, in some cases accepted,
but, one by one, the new ventures
have failed or removed for one cause
or another, and the towns have
dropped back to the lethargy which
means dry-rot for the inhabitants.
In South Georgia Nature has been
most lavish in her gifts, and yet
there are more half-developed towns
to the square inch on the map in
that section than should be there by
due proportion.
Where there is no farming country
ther are usually other opportuni-
ties for development which would
bring as solid returns as agriculture,
but in many instances the power for
developing seems lOst-Or tied up.
In one particular town. with deep
water at the very doors, with a line
of steamers connecting directly with
the North, with every facility for
shipping to any part of the world,
with natural resources which the n3-
tives have not dreamed Of develop
ing; with population of approxi-
mately twelve thousand; with a city
Of ideal beauty, partly paved ard
having a splendidly equipped electric
car line-the town is on the verge Of
dry rot.
For every condition adverse to
prosperity, there is a reason, and
Oftentimes the people who suffer
most from the existent conditions are
the last to realize the cause
To dissect the town whose advan-
tages have been enl merated, and
locate the cause Of its stagnation is
not difficult task; summed up it is
