Fla. Short Line to
Be Selected July Is

COLUMBUS, May 17.-President w.
e. Page of the Florida Short Line
highway, in a statement issued to-
day says that the route of the high
way, over which rivalry exists will be
selected at the meeting of the asso-
citation at Admission July 10. Following
is his statement:
Quite number of the counties
have already paid their entrance fee
and are now full fledged members of
the Florida Short Route association.
Statements are being mailed to the
other counties and all counties are
expected to send in their entrance fee
in the near future.
A meeting of the executive com
mittee will be called at an early date
at which time members of the com
mittee which are to select a tempo
rary route will be appointed This
committee will make a trip over the
different routes and be able to re-
port at the meeting in Admission on
July 10, the route selected.
All counties should get their routes
in as good shape as possible before
this committee makes their inspection
Quite a bit of rivalry has sprung up
between the Alexander City route and
the LAGRANGE route. Reports over the
Alexander City section indicate that
much work is being done on their
route.'

LOCUSTS LEFT

BARREN DESERT

The story of the plague of To-
Gusts in Egypt is familiar to all
Bible readers. An idea of what it
must have been like is gained
from Sven Hedin's vivid descrip-
tion of such visitation in Pales-
tine in 1915, to which the author
was an eyewitness. The following
translation from his book, "Jeru-
salem," was printed in a recent
issue of Palestine, the organ of
the British Palestine committee,
and is particularly of interest in
Georgia just now with the 18th
year and 18th year locusts sched
uled to rescend On a large part
of the nation, including North
Georgia, this month. Nothing like
this, however, is to be feared in
America

new COUNTIES
ADD MILLIONS
TO GA. VALUES

ATLANTA, May Fifteen new
Georgia counties, created by legisla-
tive enactment, have already added
about $17,000,0O0 to taxable property
values in the state, and will double
that within the next three or four
years, according to Senator W. H. Dor
ris, of Cordele, one of the prime NOV
ers in the making of new counties
Senator Doris has made a personal
investigation of the results of new
county growth in Georgia and finds
that the fifteen new counties in ques-
ton now have property valuation o.
approximately $50,000,000; so that
based on the old figures, the increase
since these new counties have been
organized, is more than so per cent
1t must be remembered in this connec-
ton that several. of these new coun-
ties are not more than two or three
years old.
I'VE new county folks have taken
backwoods sections, put good roads
through them and turned them into
some of the most valuable farming
areas in the South" Senator Doris
said. Besides, all the farmers are
within easy reach of their coufthouses,
and they are not annoyed as they for
merly were, in having to attend
court.
I'VE feel that the movement to es-
tablish new counties where the condi-
tions justified them, has been thor
oughly vindicated, in the remarkable
growth in tax values for the state, i'll
nothing else.
But aside from that, it is not
wholly question of tax values. It'll
has made for the betterment of Geor-
gia communities. Not only has my
own county, Crisp, increased 1880, 900
in property values, but Cordele is to-
day bigger, better and more hustl-
ing city than ever or than it could
possibly have been had it continued
in the background as a tail to the
Dooly county kite. But Dooly has also
prospered, and Vienna is better off
through the healthy competition that
has been created. From a careful
study of the situation, I am confident
that similar conditions exist wherever
new counties have been created. The
people have better schools, better pub
lie buildings and they are more ready
and willing to spend their money and
to bond themselves for good roads and
other improvements which hedp the
state as much as they do the com
munity itself"
DR.. J. H. Carter, of Alma, Bacon
county, former member of Sthe legis-
lature, who was here with Senator
Doris, was equally enthusiastic IN
his statement.
In these fifteen new county seats"
said Dr. Carter, Georgia has today
fifteen wide-awake and progressive
city communities of a splendid char
acter she could not have had. if the
new counties had not been given them
They needed this recognition for their
proper development, and there is no
doubt about the fact that they have
responded we'll to it,
Both Senator Doris and DR.. Garter
stated they did not, under any circum-
stances, favor the indiscriminate crea-
tion of new counties, without regard
to surrounding conditions. But they
stated emphatically that wherever the
conditions justify it, the communities
asking for them should be recognized.
