and attended by native Georgians now
citizens there, had been addressed by
Malcolm d. Jones, of Macon.
Mr.. Jones said in part in this adj
dress:
Civilization is the product Of climate.
soil and people, and in all three Georgia
excels. The United States government,
for statistical purposes. divided the
varying climates of this country into
nine classes, and Georgia, by reason of
the altitude of her northern section and
the latitude of her southern section,
eXemplifies eight of these nine classes.
GAS Mark Twain said of New Eng
land weather, Georgia has more climate
and more kinds of climate than any
other state in the union. This results
in a wonderful diversity of production.
1.-The south is the broad channel which
receives with open arms the virile
strength and Astounding energy of the
west, identifying and enriching her
self with the peculiar genius of your
civilization.
THE clear stream of inspiration flow
ing over your western rocks when it
has reached our southern plains may be
muddied and sometimes dangerous with
whirlpoOls of PASSION but I beg you
to believe that under Gods help, it is
always sweeping onward TO the sea,
