THE NEW SOUTH
WANTS MANY
MORE PEOPLE
CAN SUPPORT 10000 900 MORE
PEOPLE WITH ITS PRESENT
RESOURCES IN COMPARISON
WITH EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

Germany is u country broken up by
many rivers, by several mountain
ranges. by a number of forests and
honorable areas. Nearly so per cent
Of the total area of Germany is under
cultivation. The South can cultivate
as large a proportion without any
great difficulty. Only 40 per cent would
give the South Il farm of 22S, 294, 500
acres. That would mean approximate
Iy a hundred million acres more than
are cultivated at present.
Divided into farms of 100 acres each,
this would mean 100000 more farms
100000 more farmers, a living for
5000, 900 more people on the farms
and another 100000 more people in
the cities and towns.
Opportunity for million men who
want to farm, and that without dis
placing any one. is held out by the
South. This, without taking into con-
sideration the fact that better meth
DDS, more scientific practices, more i'm
tenSive culture, will enable man to
produce as much on fifty acres as we
now are producing on one hundred.
Admit the better farming a fact,
and the opportunities are Immediate
ly doubled all along the line.
And if France can support 100000
people on $4,000, 900 acres. there is no
reason why the South cannot support
81. 0O0. 600 more on her added hundred
million acres-and that without
crowding any one.

cade show i SO per cent increase in
crop values; the South Atlantic states
show. an increase of 1873 per cent.
South Carolina, only twenty sixth
among the states in population, has
become thirteenth in crop values. One
other interesting fact shown by the
recent census is that the rural South
is becoming white; in the last de-
cade the whites in the rural parts of
the south increased 1914 per cent, the
negroes only 6.S per cent. This ten
dency will grow more marked with
the coming in of farmers from the
Central West, who are just learning
that they can sell their present farms
for a hundred dollars an acre and buy
southern land just as good for twenty.

Thriving Little City of LOO
People Beautifully Locat-
ed on Deep Bayou.

The town Of MillvilIe, with a popu
1ation Variously estimated at from
1900 to 1900, lies at the head of Wat
son bayou, distant about three miles
by water from Panama City and about
half that distance by land, and is noted
principally as the headquarters of the
German American Lumber Co, which,
in 1901, purchased the mill and bust
ness OF the st. Andrews Bay Lumber
Co. and developed it into one of the
largest milling plants in the south Fol-
lowing the purchase of the business of
the St. Andrews Bay Lumber Co. the
German American Co. rebuilt the mill,
increasing its output greatly and
erected dry kilns, planners. etc. The
plant was destroyed by fire in 1905,
but was Immediately rebuilt, the new
mill being placed in operation during
the fall of 1907. The company manu-
features all grades of lumber, princi-
pally for export, slaves, heading, shin
giles, pickets and, in the woods, OPP
crates stills for the manufacture of
turpentine and rosin. In the town of
Millville the company operates a large
commiSsary, with department handling
goods of every description and en-
plOyS approximately 200 men at good
mill has a capacity of 100000 feet per
day, securing it's supply of logs by
means of a railroad about so miles in
length. The output was formerly
Darged to Pensacola for port, but since
the deepening of the entrance to St.
Andrews bay, vessels are loaded at
the wharves of the company, or from
barges in the stream.
TOWN WELL LOCATED.
The town of Millville is we'll To-
Gated. on high ground near the head
of the bayou, has good schools and
churches, and a number of the promi-
nent secret societies are represented by
thriving lodges. There are a number of
independent mercantile establishments,
two butcher shops, livery and sale
stables and a first class hotel. The
country about Millville is rolling and
we'll drained, the water supply is ex-
cellent and there is remarkable free
dom from sickness. The land is fer

and is being developed gradually.

COUNCIL To ACT ON
LIGHTING SYSTEM
Proposed Changes Discussed; Ac-
ton Will Be Taken on Traffic
and Snow Ordinances

AT the December meeting of Steel
tons council this evening final action
VIII probably be taken on the pro-
posed changes to the borough street
lighting system.
A number of changes in the present
locations of lights will be threshed out
and it will likely be decided to replace
many arc lamps with 100-candlepower
lncandescents and in this way secure
better distribution of light. The en-
pense will. incidentally, be reduced
considerably, it is believed. These
proposed changes have been before
council for several months.
1t Is also likely that Councilman
Waggenbaugh's pet snow removal or
dlnance will be brought out of com
mlttee tonight. BY this ordinance it
is planned to have the Harrisburg
Railways Company pay part of the
cost of snow removal. The ordinance
was introduced when last winters
snow was still on the ground.
Another ordinance before council is
burgess Wigfield's traffic ordinance.
The burgess believes council should
cooperate with him in removing the
traffic troubles which have been re-
sponsible for the death of five people
within the last year, according to the
belief of many residents.

STATE NOT REQUIRED
To PAY WAR TAX"
Deputy Attorney General largest
Renders Opinion to Super
intendent Rambo

The State of Pennsylvania is not re-
quired to pay a war tax on shipments
of state property by the state whether
by freight or express or to pay any. tax
for telephone or telegraphic messages
on state. business and paid for by the
commonwealth according to an opinion
given to-day to Samuel B. Rambo, SUI
perintendent of Public Grounds and
Buildings, by William NJ. largest,
Deputy Attorney General. The opinion
is the first to be rendered on the new
tax at the Capitol and Mr.. Hargest sup
ports his conclusions by numerous ci-
tations that the Federal Government
can not tax state Government in such
matterns and states that the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue acquiesces
in the conclusion.
Mr., largest says: 1T is necessary in
carrying out the governmental func-
tlons OF the estate, through its Vari-
Gus departments. to send various ar
ticles of merchandise, supplies, docu-
mcnts and literature by freight and eX-
press. 1t is also necessary, in trans
acting the business of the various de-
partments of the state, to use both the
telegraph and telephone for long dis
tance messages. The use of these
agencies in the performance Of govern
mental duties are clearly Instrumental
tiles of the state government and
when so used, there is no power in the
federal government to impose a tax
thereon.
specifically answering your inquiry
] have TO advise you that no tax is re-
quired upon the bills of lading for the
shipments of the state property for
which, if a stamp were issued, the
state or any of the departments thereof
would be required to pay, and telephone
and telegraph companies are not re-
qutred to pay tax upon messages, or
conversations and dispatches for which
a charge of fifteen cents or more are
imposed, If such dispatches. messages
and conversations are sent to or from
the various departments of the state
government in performance of the gov
ernmental functions of the state, and
paid for by the state"

expenditures at $793,419,970.
Army and Navy Increases
AS there is such a comparatively
small change in the estimates there is
also comparatively little change in the
items of fixed charges and new esti-
mates for expenditures have been re-
duced to the minimum. While the
rule is one of reductions the army and
navy establishments alone show in
creases of any note. The army esti-
mate is increased to $1O5,S66,S50 as
against a current appropriation of
$101, ,977,S02; the naval estimate is
142,619,033 against a current appro-
priation of s141.393,217.
Estimates for the legislative estab-

changes are some slight increases in

Although there are many homes in

or a piece of warm clothing. The
good women of Steelton's Civic Club at

toys, candy, nuts and clothing for the
little tots that he might miss in his

These women have requested that
anyone in Steelton who wants to aid
them and Santa may do so by sending
money, toys or clothing to Mrs. Charles
Alden. chairman of the committee OF
Santa's assistants; Mrs. j. NJ. Heagy,
