WHAT HENRY FORD HAS
DONE FOR THE SOUTH

UOVM vi tU6 OOV1p
"A service 'of immeasnrable value
Y Aas been rendered to the South by
pHenry Ford. He has converted all
the skeptics in the country including
Congressmen, who, heret ofore, have
undertaken to belittle Muscle Shoals,
as to the enormous value of the Ten
nessee River for transportation and
! Tor hydro-electric Development. He
has quickened the eagerness Of all the
4 banking interests identified with wa
ter power development and all the
water power people to- secure this
n kproperty, which SO long went a-beg
4 ging because the national Govern.
ment under Democratic and R4pab-
lican control would never recognize
its full value and it's illimitable po-
tentialities for the betterment OF
J water transportation on the Tennes-
see River for the creation OF hydro
electric power, which would addit
is safe to say, hundreds OF millions OF
! dollars to the wealth OF the South,
\ and thus to the wealth of the coun-
! try.
!, The despised and neglected Muscle
Shoals has now become the center OF
X nations thought and Congress
/ Zen who have heretofore secuted its
value have now come to full and
frank recognition of what the utiliz-
alton OF this great potentiality
means for the wealth Of the nation
!. Ford has been the genius who has
created this new value for Muscle
Shoals II Congress decides that the
national Government should develop
Muscle Shoals and make it "a vast nj
!. trate center, Ford's offer will never
Atheless have given to the South a
greater advertisement than all the
railroads and all the water power
: companies In this section combined
have ever given it, in the way OF
publicity through every newspaper
and in every business Office in he
land,
Moreover. II MnscIa Shoals ia diyel-
oped by the Government for vast nj
matchmaking interests, Ford's in
terest in the South has become So
great that it is possible his activities
J may be conferred upon other great
A hydro-eiectric potentialties OF which
/ there are many not utilized. His at
tention we know has been called to
! some OF the larger opportunities
\ awaiting development, and with his
enthusiasm for water power and
with his realization OF the South's
possibilities for carrying on his pres
ent activities as well as for the de-
velopment OF the things which he
J. anticipated doing at Muscle Shoals,
ID there may come out OF this whole
agitation some few movements which
will stimulate the larger utilization
! OF Southern water power now lying
idle The attt ntion Of others. too,
will be centered upon those possibili
\ ties, and the South to a larger ex-
!. tent than for many years will now
become the focusing point for the
thought and the energy OF the cap
italistic interests OF the entire coun-
try.
\ We repeat, Henry Ford has rem
dered the South a service OF immeas.
j urable value In forcing Congress to
recognize and utilize Muscle Shoals.

However, the gas well suddenly be

tub were brought into active use in
gathering up the precious fluid which
is being produced at the rate of about
two or three barrels a day, oil men
agree who have seen il.
Investigation ,of the drilling by the
city commissioners reveals the fact
that the well was drilled in 1905 by
Frank Overless, william Johnston,
and Jim Huckleberry of Muskogee, but
it only produced about five barrels 9
