SOUTHEAST JUST
COMING TO TOP
TOURIST FROM MIAMI TELLS OF
NEW POSSIBILITIES SOON
TO BE DEVELOPED.

"CalifCrnia will have nothing on the
southeast when through highways are
connected and tourist travel really be-
gins. It is always an increasing
source of wonder TO me that SO many
millions of acres Of land can be had so
cheaply here, while in the sections
where the tourist travel is heavy land
that is not nearly SO good is being sold
anywhere from $500 TO $1,000 an acre. y
This was the remark Of j. l.. High
tower OF Opelika, Ala, who with his
wife and II. c. Jernagin and wife ar
rived in Brunswick yesterday after
noon, coming in automobiles from Mi
ami, Fla Mr.. Hightower says he has
been greatly impressed with the coun'
try in southeastern Georgia aud Flori-
da and he is particularly interested i'll
watching the new development
brought about by outsiders who have
recently taken up land.
I'VE have TO admit that the greatest
development is being brought about by
new people coming into this section
OF the country said Mr.. Hightower.
At the same time, we have people
with thousands of dollars of idle capi-
tai that they have garnered from the
timber and turpentine and this could
be very we'll invested only they do not
seem to see the greater opportunity
that lies ahead OF the land they have
cleaned OF timber,
81 predict that within ten years all
| of this country will see the dawn OF a
new era, a period of progress brought
about more by automobiles than any
thing else, for it is the people who
travel by autos that have the money
and do most OF the investing.
Making Land Valuable.
| "One company III Florida has the
right ideas about developing the land
and it appealed TO me particularly
They have taken up several thousand
acres and have subdivided it into TWEEN
ty and forty-acre tracts. These tracts
are being planted to orchards which
the company cares for for period OF
five years. By scattering these tracts
around among their holdings they
will within the five years increase the
value of their holdings several hun
dred per cent.
8 q only mention this class of de
veolpment, because it is the kind OF
advancement that is needed by all sec
tions and the kind Brunswick and
all other places are going to. see once
the tide Of tourist travel is turned this
way"
It was remarked by Mr.. Hightowei
that tourists travelling from Florida
must necessarily come to southern
Georgia to find good results. The
roads through west Florida and por
lions Of Alabama are almost lmpas
sable and Mr. Hightower says tha
motorists he met in Florida who have
come from states west Of the Missis
gippi river have invariably come al
the way 10 the good roads to the eas
coast before turning southwark Il
Florida.
