DOUGLAS is AHEAD OF
ALL TOWNS In GEORGIA
Beats Record in State in
CGuSuS.

Washington, d. c., Feb 2.-Douglas,
Ga, has set a new record for growth.
From a very small town in 1900, when
it had hut 617 inhabitants, it has juml-
ed into the city class, and now can
boast Of a population Of 1850.
Such increase is regarded here as
wonderful, but Ceorgians know it S
bur more evidence of the rapid strides
being made by South Georgia.
Douglas percentage of increase N
the ten years was 475.3. The increase
was 1898.
The capital of Coffee county now
holds the record Of increase for Geor-
gia cities Of its size and few in the
United States can boast Of such rapid
growth. The growth, however, is not
regarded as Of the mushroom variety,
but seems merely to promise as rapid
development in the next ten years.

The suits and skirts are marvels of
beauty, both in colorings and fabrics, and
the tailoring is beyond reproach.
Here's suit of light tan, basket weave
material, the coat twenty-four inches, with
wide lapels, coming down near the waist
line, and fastened with a brown satin but

began her return journey into
the mountain west with exulta.
tion. From the moment she
opened her car window that August
morning In Nebraska the plain called
10 her, sustained her illusions. 1t was
all quite as big, as tawny, as she re-
membered II, ft arena for the epic
deeds In which her father had been
leader bold and free.
I. Her memories OF Roaring Fork and
its people were childish and romantic.
She recalled vividly the stagecoach
which used to amble sedately. not to
say wheezily. from the railway to the
Fork aud from the Fork back TO the

when she had ridden away In 1t q

and fully expected to find 1t waiting
for her ut Sulphur City. with old Tom
Quentan still as its driver.
The first hint OF "the new west"
came to her by way OF the pretentious
Hotel Alma. which stood opposite the
station at sulphur and TO which she
was led by colored porter OF most
elaborate and kindly manners.
This house, which furnishes an ex-
ceilent dinner and an absorbing mix
ture OF types both American and Eu-
ropean, was vaguely disturbing to her.
II was plainly not the old time west
the west her father had dominated In
the days before the invasion" 1t
was indeed distinctly built for the
tourist trade and was filed with all
that might indicate the comfortable
nearness OF big game and good fish
ing.
Upon inquiry as to the stage she
was amazed to hear that an automo-
bile now made the journey to the Fork
in hye hours and that It left imme-
diately after the midday meal.
At o'clock. as the car came TO the
door. she entered 1t with a sense OF
having stepped from one invading
chariot OF progress to another. 80 big
and shining and up to date was its
slittering body, agleam with brass and
glowing with brave red paint.
