NEW ROAD AWAKENING ATTEN
TI0N.

The proposed new railroad, OF which
Americas is TO be a terminus, is at
,racting much attention in the state
rress. and there are many highly fav-
CRADLE comments on the enterprising
spirit of the people in, the territory
that il will traverse. That the road
will be made a profitable one, that it
will act as a stimulant to development,
and that its stockholders will have no
cause to regret the support given TO
it. is the general opinion expressed.
South Georgia is now so we'll develop
cd and so rapidly improving in every
respect that such railroad will pay
to-day where ten years ago it might
have been fiat financial failure. The
tide of immigration that has set in,
the expansion of the farming interests,
and the general building up of bust
ness, insures a volume of freight and
passenger traffic that will enable the
new road to make a living from the
beginning.
Discussing the venture, the Savan-
mai Morning News says:
Railroad development in South
Georgia within the last two decades,
lille phenomenal, is not to be Won
dered at when the fact is considered
that the agricultural products, wealth
and population of that section have
doubled within the same time.
cone of the most noteworthy of tn :
proposed new lines is that from Am
CIRCUS, in Sumter county, through
| Oakfield in Crisp, Doles in Worth,
Ashburn, in Turner, Triton, in
Tiff Nashville in Berrien, to Midtown,
near the corner of Berrien, Coffee and
| Clnch. thence to some point on the
Atlantic coast, and named the Ameri-
Gus, Triton and 9tlantic. Notice of APP
plication for charter has been given
and stock is being subscribed.
The people along the proposed line
are taking an active interest and at
| the public meetings held the attend
ance has been large and enthusiastic
and the amounts of stock allotted
each place have been more than sub
| scribed
This line unites the county seats o.
Sumter, Turner, Tiff and Berrien, and
while each already has one or mora
lines of road, the territory traversef
is without railroad facilities and is
already one of the richest agricultural
sections of South Georgia
Behind the plan are men of amplt
capital to push it to a successful con
clusion, such as the Belts and Shing
leTs of Ashburn and H. H. Tiff of Tiff
ton, with wealthy citizens of Nash
| vile, Midtown ard Americas, all o.
whom are taking an active part in tbs
organization.
From Midtown to the Atlantic the
cute Fas not been decided upon. On'
route proposed is by wav of Staten
vile, the county seat of Echols, which
has been long without railroad facil-
ties another is to connect with the
Hebard road, through the Okeefinoket
swamp, and still another is by the
Midtown Air Line to Naylor, thence
southeast to Jacksonville. An inter
esting possibility is the use of the new
line by the Illinois Central system t.
a"ter Jacksonville, making connection
with the Central of Georgia at Ameri

There probably is not as much buy

There has been a continuous effort to
awaken a strong local spirit, to de-

| every community, not matter how live
its markets and how fully abreast with
the times their methods of doing bus

The person who buys away from
home is simply helping to impoverish
| the town in which he or she resides,
and to lessen the opportunity to make
& living here That is the fact that 50
many of them fail to recognize. In
any city, and especially in one the
size of Americas, we are all dependent
upon one another. The dollar made
here and kept here goes on a long
'ound of duty, helping many an in
dustry and business. The dollar made
here and sent elsewhere is a dollar
aiken from local circulation and re-
moved from the possibility of benefit
ting neighbors and friends who earn
their livelihood here.
A Maine business man has given
his reasons why he should buy al

elsewhere. While apparently directed
against the mail order houses, they
apply equally as we'll to that class OF

they place their orders in another
community to the disadvantage of the
present and future prosperity of their

Because my interests are here.

Because when i'll luck. misfortune
