TERRELL SUPERIOR
COURT IN SESSION
HAS SMALL CIVIL DOCKET.
NUMBER ASK FOR EXEMP-
TON OF JURY DUTY.

The Terrell superior court began its
November session Monday morning
with Judge NJ. J. Yeomans presiding.
An unusually small civil docket APP
peared on the court calendar, and un-
less the grand jury makes number
of charges the court should not be in
session longer than Wednesday or
Thursday
The list of jurors who asked to be
excused was unusually large, and
Judge Yeomans impressed the remain

ing when drafted.
The grand jury elected as their
foreman Mr.. T, c. Geise and Mr..
John Slade was made bailiff. The 9th
or bai1iffs sworn in for the session
are W. T. Jennings, J. M. Crouch, b.
F. Daniel and Ernest Hasty.
In his talk to the grand jury Judge
Yeomans impressed them with the
significance OF their oath and asked
them to deal very strenuous with all
liquor and pistol cases. According to
the Judge the pistol cases tried in this
circuit amounted to $1,000 each year
for costs, while the liquor and pistol
cases together amounted to $1,000 for
each county in the circuit each year.
The question of slot machines and
other forms of gaming, including the
drawing of prizes with numbers given
on purchases in stores was also taken
up. The matter of closing business
houses on Sunday was also offered as
a suggestion for investigation. Sew
eral other small matters were mention
ed to the grand jurors before they
were allowed to retire and deliberate.
They will report their findings after
the civil docket has been disposed OF.

SOUTH LEADING IN
RISE OF LAND VALUES
AHEAD OF ALL OTHER SEC
TIONS IN INCREASE OF
PROPERTY VALUES.

ASHEVILLE, N. c. Property
values are increasing more rapidly IN
the south than in any other section OF
the United States. The greatest social
and economic progress ever noted IN
any portion OF America has occurred
during the last 10 years in the south
ern states, and this section is just be-
ginning to grow.
North Carolina is leading with an
increase of Us per cent in property
value. Florida is second with a gain
of 162 per cent, Tennessee third with
120 per cent gain, and Virginia
shows an increase of 100 per cent. Ala
barna's growth is 81 per cent and Ar
kansas has gain OF So per cent.
Always Progressive.
The record of the immediate past
is not surprising to anyone familiar
with southern history. The south al
WAYS has been progressive. The rest
of the country owes more to the south
than to any other section OF the Unit
ed States.
The south established the first in
stitution of learning supported by
public funds. The south established
the first character college for women.
A southerner discovered ether for
anaesthesia, and performed the first
operation under anaethetic. A south
ern physician received the first degree
conferred on an American by Tor
eign university.
The man who built the Panama
canal was a southerner. 1t was the
genius Of a Virginian that prepared
the ocean floor" for the first cable.
And so we might devote volumes to
a recital of southern achievements IN
every field of commerce and industry,
science. arts and letters, The remark
able thing about it is that so few OF
these facts are known in the south,
and comparatively none in other sec
tons of the country"
Climate Healthful.
1t has been said that the south is
an unhealthy country, and yet the rec
ord shows that the south has the low
est death rate in the nation, the great
est comparative freedom from disease,
and a southern state, North Carolina,
has the highest birth rate recorded in
the United States. There are portions
of the south where thousands OF sick
people go annually. The advance OF
doctors and the records show that in
the great outdoors, down south, mi
raculous cures are the result, and
thousands of useful lives are prolong-
ed
The impression exists in some quar-
tiers that the south is largely cotton
country. The outside world knows lit
tie Of the wonderful program OF di-
vershCation that has been worked out
during the last 20 years. For example,
few people in the south, and almost
none elsewhere know that OF the o.
coo manufacturing establishments list
ed in the 1920 census with capltall-
cation of more than $1,000, 000,0 900 on
" one in six of these mills were en-
gagged in cotton manufacture.
An examination of the records OF
the United States Department OF Ag-
rculture reveals that the south has a
greater diversity of farm crops than
any other section of like area. The
millions of acres of undeveloped farm
lands indicate clearly the great po-
tentialities of this section as the flu
ture of the nations food supply.
