Lon Dickey Enthused
With Tobacco Outlook
TRIP TO NORTH CAROLINA
BRINGS RESULTS. FITZGER-
AID SOON TO BE BIG TO-
BACCO CENTER.

Mr.. Lon Dickey, of the Dickey
Lumber company, returned from a
trip to North Carolina, and the to-
bacco sections of South Carolina
where he went in the interest of the
tobacco business for this section. Mr..
hickey is enthusiastic over the situa-
ton as he found it, and being a prac-
teal farmer as we'll as most expert
business man, his report, which he
has made in the subjoined letter, is
OF special interest to our prospective
tobacco growers. Mr.. Dickey writes
with reference to your inquiry as
to what | found on my trip of inves-
tlgatlon IN North and South Carolina
regarding the growth and marketing
OF tobacco in this territory.
l beg to advise that the few DAYS
that | was away | was over-pleased
with the encouragement | found in
every way. In my opinion, there is
nothing we can raise in this country
that IN any way will compare with the
raising OF tobacco. | thought this
before | went on my investigating
tour. but after spending few DAYS in
North and South Carolina and look
ing the situation over thoroughly. in
vestigating the manufacturing insti-
tutions and talking with the managers
OF the leaf department of the manu-
featuring institutions, | was so much
encouraged, that what land the Lon
Dlckey Lumber company owns in this
territory is worth 100 per cent more
now than the day | left.
l believe if we begin growing to-
bacco and the people in this territory
learn how to grow and cure it pro.
perly, our lands will sell for 5000 an
acre in five wears as easy as they sell
today for $50. This is my honest and
candid opinion.
| found that lands around Rocky
Mount and Wilson, N. c., and other
tobacco centers that | visited, cannot
be bought for less than 5000 to $4OO
per acre and their lands do not COM
pare with ours at all in my Judgment.
and there is great deal more waste
land there that they cannot raise to-
bacco on. And tobacco is their mo-
ney crop. and it is this thing that
makes their land worth the above
price.
The manufacturers and warehouse
men who are familiar with the tobac-
co raised in this territory, told me
frankly and honestly that the tobacco
that is marufa ctured and gotten from
Georgia and which is properly cul-
tlvated and cured was the finest that
ever came from any sections of the
South for a cigarette tobacco. They
also assured me that they were more

A B & A EMPLOYS
TOBACCO EXPERT

Due to government control, the A.
B. & A. Railway is expanding in its
agricultural department this season ia
embrace the tobacco industry along
their line in South Georgia. Mr..
q. B. Eunice, tobacco expert of
several years experience in supervis-
ing tobacco culture from the seed
bed to the factory has been engaged
and will give his entire attention to
advising and helping the farmers
along the line. Mr.. Eunice has OPEN
ed his office at the Chamber OF Com
merce rooms and will be glad to have
our local farmers who expect to
grow tobacco call on him for what
information they may wish along
this line. The tobacco industry is
rapidly becoming favorite in South
Georgia and Fitzgerald may in a
short time become the center of one
OF the largest tobacco growing Sec
tons in the South. The land and eli
mate. according to this expert, is
ideally suited to the class of tobacco
now in greatest demand and past ex-
perience, Mr. Eunice states, has con-
WINGED the manufacturers OF cigarets
and smoking tobacco, that the South

DIED SATURDAY

The friends of Otis H. Elkins were
shocked when they learned SATURDAY.
morning that he succumbed to pnel,
monia at the Sanitarium Friday night
Senator Elkins was taken sick Mon
day and received the best of attention
but was removed to the Sanitariur,
Friday morning, in the hope of i'm
proving his condition. The end came
at 1885 A. M. Saturday morning, Dec
IA.
Senator Elkins was frequent at
tendant at the bedside of Sen. w. D.
Mcneil, OF Macon, who died at the
Lee-Grant hotel two weeks ago, and
4 is believed that he contracted the
germs of influenza during the time.
Col. EIkins was a graduate of Mer-
Ger University at Macon, graduating
from the literary department. in 1902
and from the law school in 1904. He
was elected principal of the schools
at Mariana, Fla, and served in that
till 1905 when he returned to
@Georgla and after practicing law only
a few weeks in Cordele, came to Fitz-
gerald and engaged in the practice of
his profession.
Sen. Elkins' brilliancy soon gained
Tor him large clientele, and his sue
cess at the bar came rapidly. In 1912
his popularity with the people of the
county secured for him the unupposed
election TO the State Senate, where he
made himself a state reputation for
his legal acumen. One special piece
OF legislation, which is destined to
play strong part in the future of
the state, was inaugurated by him,
through the passage of resolution to
appoint commission to draft the bill
commonly referred to as the Torrens
Land Title Bill, and which opened the
way for this law.
The deceased was 80 years old and
is survived by his father, Mr.. John S.
Elk1ns, and two sisters, Mrs. L;+hia
Laney, of Locust Grove, and Miss
Mae Elkins, of Winston-Salem, N. c..
The remains were taken to Locust
Grove Saturday night, accompanied
by his sister, Mrs. Laney, who arrived
Saturday morning too late to see him
in life.
Sen. Elkins was member of the
Masonic order and the Elks, both of
which sent a delegation with the re-
mains of their departed friend, COL
and Mrs. J. B. Wall, D. P. Adams, J..
II. Dodgen, c. B. Watts and D. B

mains. A large number of the per-
