full place known as "Radium Lodge, .
and will shortly open it as hotel. The
Holland Realty Company handled the
deal, selling the place for $4,000.
This is indeed good news to Mari

tive to the building up of town than
really fine hotel. 1t is one of the
very best Advertisements any town
can have.
"Radium Lodgs," henceforth to be
known as "Roxanda Lodge" was built
by te late DR.. w. U. Stanley, of New
Jersey and is one of the largest and
handsomest dwellings, in Marietta.

The "facts and figures" of the Cen
sus of 1920 are being accorded more
general attention than ever in the
history of the great work of that Blu
reau.
A large number of observant men
and women, not heretofore interested
in census developments, are making
inquiries as. to the Bureaus reports
which treat of agricultural economics
and, industrial progress throughout
the country.
There is wider inquiry for facts
as to farm tenures-the aggregate
number of, farms, how many operated
by owners, by managers and by ten
ants. Another class of inquirers look
to closer study of the statistics pub
lished by the governmental of
which bearing on census facts, are
based on information given to Bureau
agents by the people on whom agents
called and whom they quizzed.
The people were perfectly honest
in the replies made to the questions
propounded about acreage, crops,
live stock, etc. And values. Just
there, the "just human" asserted it.
self. Values are so closely related
to taxes, that to mention them is to
cause the Receiver of Tax returns to
loom in the distance. This invaria-
bly, results in reserve and in language
Of depreciation of values, etc., hence,
it has been found necessary, in many
cases which involved census figures,
to add 80 per cent to estimated to-
tails as to acreage, crop yield, etc., in
order to arrive at the actual figures
which would be sustained by measure
or by weight. 1t is different with es-
Inmates published by government crop
reporting Board; for the latter is
greatly assisted in its important work
by the law of general average in sta
tistics.
Accurate Statistics Recognized.
The immediate effect Of the Incl
dents, to which allusion has been
made, is that interest in census facts
and figures deepened and broadened
during the year last past. This means
that statistics, accurate and as full
as possible, are coming into deserved
recognition at the South where they
have been too long neglected as
general rule. Statistics are coming
into widespread use throughout the
South as they have long been in accep-
table and highly beneficial use in the
Eastern and in the Western States.
You must have remarked the extent
to which leading banking houses,
North and South, are laying under
contribution that effective method of
distributing valuable information.
A recently issued Census Bulletin
affords opportunity to study interest
ing facts which relate to the number
of farms in the several States in 1920
compared with whether opera
ted by the owners, by managers or
by tenants.
The purpose Of this article is to
show, first the Georgia status; then
that of the Carolinas and Alabama,
then the other cotton producing
States.
In 1920, Georgia had ,s310132
farms--aa increase of 1905 or ST
per cent. OF those farms, 102.123I
were operated by their owners--an in
crease of 3.495 or 3.5 per cent. Man
