Schools and Climate
The education fund for public schools
is a very generous one. and every town,
village. hamlet and neighborhood is sup
piled with good school houses and the
best instruction by experienced teachers
and professors to be obtained. Indeed,
the high grade of the black belt public
schools is a matter of pride to her cti-
zens and one of SURPRISING interest to
those contemplating moving to that desr-
able section of the south,

itself out in the last days OF February
The thermometer reaches the freezing
point few times during the season, but
rarely remains at that degree of cold
longer than a day or two often weeks
are prolonged into months when the tenn
perature does not become lower than
the usual spring days of the north. The
summers are not so severe as in northern
latitudes, as sun-strolles are unknown
and the nights are cool and refreshing
to the sleeper. Perhaps, taking the cli-
mate as 12-month proposition, there is
no more favorable climate for comfort
and health in the country
Rivers and Streams
The state derives its name from the
large river which drains its center and
runs through, north and south. the black
belt counties.

Great Changes Wrought
The hand of time has wrought great
changes in Alabama since the halcyon
mansions built in the black belt in that
era have passed into smoke and dust; the
fine old slver-mounted carriages. with
bis bay horses and glittering trappinSs
are forever gone; the great balls and
dances and barbecues and picnics will
perhaps never be seen again. the eourtly
men and rare women possessed of all the
sraces, have by economical and political
decree been replaced by those whose am
bitions are. not higher or nobler, but more
practical and utilitaran.
Universities, Colleges, Etc.
Perhaps the first question that presents
itself to the mind of person who is
thinking of moving to another part of
the country is the vital one of educational
facilities for the children. In this re-
spect the black belt of Alabama may,
without boast, express itself in the very
strongest terms necessary to depict al
most ideal conditions. In the very heart
of this famous section there are as fine
colleges for both sexes as the south pos
sesses.
At Greensboro. in Hale county, the
Southern university stands unrivaled in
equipment and sources of instruction for
young men preparing for the battle of
of Perry, the noted Judson institute and
the Seminary offer such superior ad-
vantages that they are attended annually
by over 900 young ladies and girls from
more than dozen states. These grand
old insttutions-one established in 1886,
and the other in 1S39-are famous through
out our country; and the Marion institute
in the same little city is the outgrowth
of Howard college, and offers the finest
opportunities to boys who have ambition
for success in the business, literary and
professional field. All of these four splen-
did colleges are within few hours jour-
ney of all sections of the black belt.
The University of Alabama and the
Polytechnic institute at Auburn are seats
of learning, with an annual attendance
of over 1900 students in the various de-
partments of literature, law, technic

Year after year the force of habit and
a mistaken ambition led the old planters
into financial hardship. many often tc

this splendid people. The old 40 or 50 mule
cotton farm is thing of long ago. and

machinery the great cotton and corn and

An Age of Opportunity

Au ASe vi opportunity
This is an age of opportunity. an age
pregnant with, discovery. invention, scen-
title research and practical investigation
in all the fields of human endeavor. Sue
cess has become measurably matter OF
attempt; vast fortunes have come to
some ample fortunes to many. and in
dependence to nearly all engaged in the
whirl of these progressive times. So ad-
yanced are the methods employed in the
transaction of business that doubt as to
success no longer obtains where industry
and common sense are exercised.
The thrifty American is wiaely awake
to the comforts of life which he naturally
aspres to for his family when his indus
try has procured or is procuring the dol
lars so necessary for their pleasures and
well-being. Hence, rgors and hardshps
coupled with all cold countries have
caused thousands TO turn with longing
eye to the balmy and healthful regions
south of the great thermal line. 1t is
a great exodus from the wind-swept
prairies of the middle west and the bleak
hills of the east to the mild temperatures
of Alabama, with her generous people
rich soils, healthfu climate and hospi-
table welcome to strangers.
And of all sections of the civilized globe
the glorious historic black belt of Ala
bama combines more of the elements of
nature that conspire to the contentment,
comfort and thrift of man than any other.
Farms Being Divided

black belt held ON with excusabe pride

and Tombigbee rivers are navigable from
the northern borders of the black belt to
the Gulf of Mexico. Steamboats, ply their
trade the entire year and landings are
numerous and convenient for shipping by
the planters who own farms not conven-
lent for railroad transportation. The Ca
haba is a tributary of the Alabama and
flows through several of the black belt
counties, and finds its source in the north
center of the state The Tombigbee river
has several tributaries of some size and
affords easy and cheap transportation to
the city of Mobile. Large creeks, fed
by springs and brooks from the hills,
traverse every section and afford abund-
ant water for large stock raising inter
ests. Pure freestone springs are on
every hand, and some mineral springs
are found. Artesan water is easily pro-
cured in these counties, and is highly
valued as a healthful drink. There is no
better watered section of country any
where.
Fertility of Soil
The soil, climate and productions of
these favored counties are very attrac-
tive. The agriculturist can find within
this region those natural advantages
which conspire to crown his labors with
the fullest fruition, abundantly produce
ing the most valued staples. cereals and
esculents. The texture of the cotton
raised here is inferior to none, and fruits
and wild berries are as abundant and lus-
cious as elsewhere on the earth, while
all crops are measurably exempt from
visitations which render those of other
countries unreliable and precarious The
Voluptuous breeze of the Mexican sea

counties, and even winter" sleeping in

famous red "Orangeburg clay said to
be necessary for the production of the
finest grades Of Cuban tobacco, an in
dustry that is in its infancy, but by
many practical tests in Perry and Dallas,
offers alluring profits.
Intensive Farming
The state agricultural experiment sta
tions have been of great service to the
agricultural interests. They have induced
great changes in farming methods and
impaired knowledge that stands sponsor
for many marvellous results in producing
large yields of corn and cotton. Just
