4 SAVANNAH, Ga.-"The South is
ooming center of the United
f~o+as This is true because it is the
~tor of civilization; is the most ac-
D.ihIa to the vast reaches of this
sntrv otherwise, and generally it
the most desirable as a place in
,tob to live. In other words, if a
an intends to locate he could do
hotter than to come to Georgia,
Dsorp life is worth the living"
q c,,ch is the opinion of J. A. New
.nb lessee of the Savannah Hotel.
~so returned home yesterday after a
.ngtby trip through the Southland
the means of an automobile, his
canning place being at Bristol, Va.
N, Newcomb is a native Tennes-
,aan but he admits that Georgia, in
4, opinion, is preferable to the west.
UndevelOped Opportunities.
THE people of Georgia have a lit
ID gold mine which they have al
,rod to remain undeVeloped
brough all the years, said Mr.. New
Pomb 1T is the raising of cattle, for
rbicb the state is very favorably
daDted. The people should take
Idvantage of the natural facilities
nd increase the production of staple
Enps and, above all, go extensively
Into the raising of cattle and other
Erimals used for food purposes.
q wish that the people of Georgia
.IOuld 20 to Virginia in order to take
essons on farming and live stock
md poultry raising. This country
hight to be covered with solid masses
meadows and pastures, raising
bpreon millions of cattle Then you
Eould see the finest section of coun-
~ in the United States right here in
yeorgia. 1t is a mighty good place
Ow, but the possibilities of increas-
ne the importance of the agricult-
raj and live stock industries is yet
unlimited.
Land Is Valuable.
Lands in this section, with the in
reasing of the purusits outlined,
gould be worth 500 an acre, but the
eople of the state do not seem to
ave awakened to the full possibili-
les yet. There is coming a day, how
Yer, when every foot of land in Geor-
{ ka will be worth as much or more
han any in the entire country. You
!. AMT buy a farm in Virginia which
bill pay more than per cent, but
Georgia the returns would be vast
superior
That the high costs of living have
Ome to stay is the opinion of the
Otel man This is true, he says, be-
ause everybody is establishing them
elves on a higher standard of values.
Or this reason there is no reduction
cheaper living in sight for the
merican people. The general rank
; nd file, Mr.. Newcomb says, is living
bore extravagantly now than ever
efOre and it is his conviction that
hey will continue to do so.
There is only one way to reduce
be high cost of living" said the ho-
man. That is to go back to the
rimitive styles. If you were to let
be Chinese and Japanese come in
Freely the cost of living would be the
Rme as water finding its level. Liv-
lg would be cheaper, but the general
Pane of society would be cores
6ndingly Iowered--consequently
here is no chance of letting the al
Ems in
Mr.. Newcomb, who is familiar with
Pc hotel business in all of its phases
the United States, says that the
otels in the South are conducted
pom better plane as a rule than in
Eher sections, consequently the ser
zee afforded is the finest in the
GRID. He says that all people who
op at the hotels are generally more
Hacting in their requirements, hence
fe living conditions are conducted
As pom more costly plane.
Because of the abundant crops
RFvestod in the better portion of the
untry this year the financial situa-
On is easier, he says The tightness
money in the earlier part of the
y 5aT caused a general curtailment OF
Ipenses, and this has also been in
lumental in easing the situation at
lis time
