NOW IS TIE TIME FOR BUY1NG-A calm

analysis of the business conditions of the country
may be monotonous undertaking for the average
man. but it behooves him, and his good wife too,
who is the purchaser, to glance at the conditions
and to make little hay while the opportunity
lasts. Higher prices are at hand and buying oppo
tunity is pounding instead of knocking at the door
Puy now. The Department of Agriculture pre-
diets falling OF the winter wheat crop and this
spells higher prices. Then the Department of
Commerce points out that shipping
abroad two billion dollars worth of cotton wheat
and other farm products, which is twice amount
of the exports prior to the war Great prosperity
is facing the six million farmers of the country.
The world is crying for American food stufs. I'm
til Russia is reorganzed and it's industries coord-
mated and that must be some years away the
world must look to America to supply the 10000
900 tons of grain and other farm products that
Russia exported. The cotton shipments are in
creasing at an astounding rate, and prices are
rising. Tobacco shipments are mounting and so
are prices Meats are in greater foreign demand
and you can trust the meat trust to take care of
the prices SO far as they concerned Indeed ev-
cry indication is for steady increase in prosperity
but with it will come higher prices Wise men and
wise women will look about them and do their
shopping early Those who continue the so-caled
buyers strike are weaving rope with which to
hang themselves.

C. Wing of Atlanta, State Chairmas
of the "made in Georgia committee,
in an address before the clubwomen
of the second district, made most
suspicious beginning with her into a
state of enthusiasm over this project.
Mrs Wing called attention to the
fact that each year Georgia sends out
over SlOOOOU,00O for various produces
that could be and should be produced
right here in Georgia, thus keeping
that great sum of money in our own
state for tie development of further
resources. The results of her. own
inquiries in this matter have shown
her that many first class articles are.
manufactured right here in Georgia
and many more can be, but that our
demands have been for the products
of other sections because of ignorance
of Georgia products. 1t only needs
more advertising of what is already
made here to increase the demand for
these things and to create a demand
that will result in other things being
made. She concluded by reading the
proclamation of Governor Hardwick
in which he calls on all Georgia to help
in the observance of Made in Georgia
week, Nav 1920. This proclamation
has already appeared in all the daily

PUSHING THE RAILROAD
PURCHASE PLAN

That strong effort is being mod"
to have the state purchase the

sure The eWstern &ktlantic for all
time against being bottled up, there is
not the least doubt.
An active organization has been per-
fected to take over this movement and
see that it is pushed before the next
session Of the generas assembly Of the
state. 1t is said that hirty-one repre-
senatives in the house and fifteen sen.
ators live in districts through which
the road runs and therefore are vital
ly interested since the scrapping of the
road would very seriously affect the
property values of their respective
counties.
With that nucleus in the House and
Senate and the more or less known
strength of any proposition to extend
the W. & w, the sea, the question
looms up as one of the importan is
sues before the Legislature when it
comes into session again In June.
AS We have said before there is
much to be said on both sides of this
question. so much that It makes up an
issue of vital importance and one that
will no doubt receive much attention

GEORGIA MUST SAVE THE &A.-Fron

WHY STATE OF GEORGIA
SHOULD BUY A B. & A

If the State of Georgia can buy
the A. B. & A. Railroad for $lO,O0O,-
zoo and fails to buy it, the state Of
Georgia IS a very poor business man.
My recollection is thar he A. B. & A.
Investment cost about $40,00O,OO0.
The A. B. & A. is potentially the
best piece Of railroad property in
Georgia. For fear tina. this NAV be
passed without serious consideration,
let me. repeat that the A. B. & A., in
personalities and development posi-
bilities, is the best piece of railroad
property in Georgia. For the port
OF Brunswick, which by actual fig
uress and data furnished by the best
engineers in the country is the hes.
port on the Atlantic seaboard south
of Norfolk; it now has IS feet
water depth on the bar. 1t is a
iandiocked port and is free from dan
ger or damage to vessels and ship
ping. from storms and unfavorable
weather. 1t a far better port than
that OF either Charleston or lack
sonville and l am informed that the
State of Georgia passes enough mon
ey to these two ports in a wear to buy
the A. B. & A. Railroad.
From the port of Brunswick, the
a. B. & A.. runs almost an air
line to the great city of Birming-
ham and furnishes direct short line
to the Birmingham coal and iron

STATE OWNERSHIP OF THE
a r q a r p

This paper notes with great deal
of interest the growing favor with
which the proposition that the A. B.
& A. railroad be acquired by the State
and make a part of the state road
which runs from Atlanta Chatta-
nooga.
We confess that our first interest
is in oui own section. From every
indication the A. B. & A. railroad is
headed for the JUNK pile, sooner
rather than later is only a question
of : time when thls road must cease
operations altogether. As railroad
svstems go, it is OILY small sized
?tfa'r without influential connections,
dependent in large measures upon
business originating along its course
For through business it has fierce
and killing competition. If this road
is lunked. as we believe it will be
unless it is rescued in some wav. an
untold injury will be done to this en-
tire section How badly we will be
nurt perhaps none of us can now
estimate.
If the state buys this road and links
1t with its great northern road. at
ohCe connection Is made that assures
It of enough through business to make
It success from the start. This will
insure the permanence of the A. B. &
A. for this section.
But we believe it will be a wise
step for the state as a whole. South
Georgia is at the beginning of its de-
velopment. AS the years pass this
section will become more and more
industrially important and the bust
ness of this road will increase and the
road will become one of our valuable
assets. With state owned road run
ming from Chattanooga to Brunswick.
the people of the state are assured of
a square deal in the matter of rates
and service.
We hope that the approaching legis-
lature will take up this matter with
real earneSt-Ocilla Stat
