ERA OF PROSPERITY
Stores AS Well AS Dwellings
In Demand-TOwn Is
Growing Rapidly

Opelika, December 1o.-(Special) )-This
city is enjoying an era of unprecedented
prosperity. Opelka was never a boom
town, but she is now growing by leaps
and bounds, and II the present click keeps
up another decade no prophet can foretell
what the limit will be.
There Is not a vacant store room in
town, and dwellings are in active demand
with but few for rent, despite the fact
that many new residences were built dur
ing the past summer.
The unusual fine weather of the last two
months has facilitated the street paving
work which is progressing very satisfac-
torily. The paving on North and South
Railroad avenues between Ninth and Sew
enth streets will be completed within the
next 10 days, when paving will begin on
Eighth and Ninth streets between First
avenue and Avenue B. The streets to be
paved are North and South Railroad
avenues and Avenues A and B. This will
include all of the business section Of the
city.
During the present cold spell thousands
of fine porkers We're slaughtered in this
county. With hog and hominy a-plenty at
home and money in the bank, the farmers
are feeling thankful for this prosperous
year.

PRIZE WINNERS
OFF TO WASHINGTON
Two Young Mississippians Make Won-
derful Record In Corn and
Tomato Growing

jackson. Miss, December 1O.-(Special)
Two justly proud young Mississippians-
J. Jones Polk and Miss Sallie Mae Strahan
left here last night for Washington, ac-
companied by Prof. Cobb of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college. and Miss
Susie V. Powell, supervisor of girls club
work in connection with the public schools
of the state.
This boy and girl, each is years of age
were the prize winners in the Corn club
and Tomato club work this year, their
greatest prize being a free trip to Wash
ington, where they will be the guests. as
win representative boys and girls from
other states. of the officials who are the
head of these enterprises that is, corn and
toamto raising.
The records of these two young Missis-
sipans are almost staggering, but the fig
ures are attested by the county agents OF
the government and state. by numerous
nieghbors, and sworn to before notaries;
SO that there Is no reason to doubt they
have harvested just what they claim.
Mr.. Polk is credited with 2149 bushels
of corn on one acre, at a cost of $46 ,r
PA cents per bushel, and his net profit
was $175.65. Miss Strahan made and sold
$2l310 worth of tomatoes and other veg
etables, canned. off one-tenth an acre Of

of this large class. How large it is may
be illustrated by such statistics as have
recently been collected from several hum
dred corporations and partnerships to
which blanks were sent for information.
All of these concerns are engaged In
business which depends upon railroad
prosperity. These concerns, a large part
Of whose products Is directly or Indirect
ly consumed by railways and whose man
ufacturing operations begin with the new
raw material or fuel. employ when busi-
ness is active about 100000 persons. There
are stockholders of these corporations ag-
gregating in number several hundred
thousand. The railways of the United
States employ 1,750,000 persons, and their
capital stock is divided up In ownership
among considerably more than 100000.
Therefore in this department of activity
alone there are some 3,500000 persons
whose wages or salaries are directly de-
pendent upon these corporations, and there
are perhaps as many as 100000 persons
who have invested a portion or ell of
their possessions in the stock or securi-
ties of these corporations. These are the
persons whom it is hoped to bring to-
gether with others who have investments
in or who are employed by Industrial cor
porations into a wisely led association,
which may exert moral influence equal to
or greater than that now exerted by the
Civic Federation.
