PETERSBURG FLORIDA If you are anticipating a visit to Florida, either for pleasure or invest- ment, do not overlook St. Petersburg. This city is situated on high, rolling pine land, located between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. A most desirable location with the finest climatic conditions possible, and one of the most beautiful and healthful places in the world, having the combination of bracing salt water breezes of the Gulf of Mexico and the resinous piney woods air. This is a spot where the sun shines all day long, practically every day in the year, and therefore St. Petersburg is known as the Sunshine City. Added to this climate it has provision for all the out-door sports, shooting where there is plenty of game, fishing where there are plenty of the finest of fish. Salt water bathing all the year round, because the salt water of the gulf stream is warm; the finest boating; good automobiling and one of the finest golf links in the world is located near the city. Many daily steamboat trips may be taken to interesting points. There are twenty miles of street car lines and numerous and attractive drives. The most fascinating attraction about St. Petersburg is the unusual oppor- tunity for investment with profit. Many people have made fortunes within a short space of time; many others have made large profits on small investments. We think there is no place like St. Petersburg in the world in this respect, and many others think the same — the consequence being that the city is continually growing and has unusually bright prospects for the future. For further information write us. St. Petersburg Investment Co., H. Walter Fuller, Manager, St. Petersburg, Florida. Office, Corner Central Ave. and 4th St. TWENTY MILES OF STREET RAILWAY Central Avenue, a great boulevard one hundred feet wide, six miles long, straight as an arrow, running due west from Tampa Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, starting through the very heart of the business centre of St. Petersburg, and running west through the entire length of the city proper, and from then on perfectly straight through beautiful high, rolling wood- lands to the Boca Ceiga Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This avenue, just opened by the St. Petersburg Street Railway system, is the principal thor- oughfare of St. Petersburg. Most of the lands traversed by the St. Petersburg Ry. are owned by the St. Petersburg Investment Co., whose offices are located at the corner of Central Avenue and Fourth Street. Part of this property is laid out into building lots, which are being sold at reasonable figures, and other portions are being sold by acres to be sub-divided by the purchasers. These lots are rapidly increasing in value on account of their superior location and transportation facilities. This city is a most desirable place in which to live. It is steadily increasing in permanent population, together with the thousands of tourists who visit there regularly, many of whom have made fortunes in the purchase of real estate. The increasing improvements which are constantly going on, requiring an enormous expenditure of money and the projection of new transportation facilities, are some of the many advantages which tend to develop this beautiful city. A total of nearly a million dollars is now being put into good automobile roads through the country and brick paving in the city. Fine boating, plenty of game and abundance of fish. Salt water bathing all the year around. Daily steamboat excursions to attractive points, etc. No other place like it.

SECOND. — To publish lists and advertisements of concerns which it is thought would be advantageous for buyers to patronize, thus bring- ing the seller and the buyer into direct communication. THIRD. — To furnish such facts pertaining to the great natural resources of the States of Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia as might enable prospective investors and settlers to form an intelligent opinion of the advantages that will accrue from their location in this field of endeavor. That those sections of the aforenamed States traversed by the Seaboard Air Line Railway are unexcelled for the various purposes hereinafter enumerated there can be no doubt in the minds of those who follow the reading of these pages with a personal visit, by virtue of which they will be enabled to obtain the minutest details not practica- ble to exploit within the space allotted. Several months have been consumed in obtaining the data at hand, and notwithstanding this fact it must of necessity be but an abridgement of the history of a territory so bountifully endowed by nature. The policy of the Seaboard Air Line Railway in recent years has been to co-operate with, and extend reliable information to all those who desired to locate on this great artery of traffic. That policy is still carried out, and the Company's agents in different sections of the country are ever ready to supply prospective investment and home- seekers with valuable data regarding this healthful and fertile section of the Union. 15 16 FLORIDA SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY CITIES AND TOWNS REPRESENTED BY AGENCIES Manatee Section. — This section comprises that portion of Manatee county traversed by the Seaboard Air Line Railway. — The Man- atee lands cover a large portion of the west coast of Florida below the central part of the State. On the north it is bounded by Hills- borough county and by the Tampa bay; it is bounded on the west partly each by Sarasota bay, Tampa bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The name of the county is taken from the Manatee river, which is one of the most beautiful streams in this country. It is nearly one mile wide near its mouth where it empties into Tampa bay. The breezes from and tempered by the above large bodies of warm water have served as an adjunct are of great advantage in that the progress of vegetation is practically never interfered with, as is frequently the case in other climes ; but once having a fair start, and with the great advantage of a magnificent soil perfectly adapted, it con- tinues to a luxuriant growth. Manatee is one of the finest trucking centers in all of southern Flor- ida. Flere are found great stretches of fine ham- mock lands which, when placed under proper cultivation, irrigated when necessary, and con- tinuously farmed in an intelligent manner, are always found to be productive of the most su- perior fruits and vegetables that it is possible to obtain. These lands now cost, when within a reasonable distance from the railway, from $50 to STATE CAPITOL, TALLAHASSEE. FLA. in accelerating the growth of vegetables as well as protecting the orange and grapefruit trees from frost. A freeze is an unknown quantity in Manatee. This county has 50 miles of gulf bor- der, with Tampa bay located on the north, while the Manatee river penetrates the interior. The beneficent breezes, tempered by the Gulf stream, that blow from these large bodies of salt water, together with the salubrious climate, make this county an ideal place in which to live and suc- cessfully grow practically all the delicious fruits as well as vegetables that are grown on any other part of the face of the civilized globe.

The soil here is peculiarly adapted to the produc- tion of most delightfully flavored fruits and veg- etables, which find a ready market, and bring better prices than the fruits and vegetables raised in any other section of the United States. The Seaboard Air Line Railway carries, during the fruit and vegetable season, many long train- loads of perishables. A view is shown of one of such trains in process of being iced at Palmetto by a refrigerating plant, operated at this point exclusively for the use of icing the Seaboard Air Line Railway cars containing fruits and veg- etables grown in Manatee county and shipped to 17 TYPICAL GRAPEFRUIT TREES IN THE MANATEE COUNTRY, S. A. L. RY. 1 8 the principal markets of the country. The fast freight schedules operated daily from this section enable growers to reach the New York market in 3 clays. The most important industry in Manatee county is that of citrus fruit growing. The Man- atee County Orange and Grapefruit are famous the country over. These two crops are prin- cipally gathered during the late fall and winter months. The citrus fruit dealers now handle a large portion of the crop in such a manner as to bring to the grower much larger profits than in former years. In the land of Manatee, along the grove has paid to the owner more than $31,000 for two successive crops. Here nature is at her best. Photographs especially taken for this pub- lication will give the reader a clear insight into the true facts and opportunities that exist in Florida at the present time on the Seaboard Air Line Railway.

Seaboard Air Line Railway, the orange and the grapefruit reach the highest perfection, and recognizing these values many large groves have been and are continually being planted here, this being the largest fruit shipping county in the State of Florida. A citrus grove begins bearing fruit at 3 years of age, and increases in produc- tion, under proper treatment, for 30 years or more. The two largest grapefruit-bearing groves in the world are located here, and there are, of course, an enormous number of other successful groves. A view is given in these pages of a sec- tion of a large full-bearing grove in which there are nearly 100 rows each about a mile in length. In addition to having the largest groves, this county has the distinction of having the most pro- ductive grove per acre in the State. A 10-acre settlers. Large and magnificent orange groves are scattered all over Manatee, there being no spot in this county on which this juicy fruit will not furnish an opportunity for the profitable in- vestment of money by the grower.

This county produces the largest and best quality of celery that goes to the market. The aver- age grower makes from 600 to 1,000 crates per acre. One of the illustrations contained herein shows a section of a field of 35 acres of celery under one cultivation in Manatee county. This is indeed a very fine sight. This special field is located near Sarasota, but in this vicinity other fields of large acreage are being cultivated successfully. In fact, there is no place in Manatee county along the Seaboard Air Line Railway in which this excellent vegetable is not grown with ease and much profit to the growers. Celery is one of the large producers of revenue in the count}' of Manatee. Lettuce. — Sown in September and transplanted in October and November. The yield of this fine vegetable runs from 400 to 800 hampers per acre. There is an abundant amount of money to be made out of lettuce, as has been demonstrated by the many growers of this vege- table in Manatee county. There is depicted on THREE-YEAR OLD GRAPEFRUIT GROVE, FLORIDA. S. A. L. RY. Pineapples are cultivated and extensively produced in Florida along the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The climate and soil are con- ducive to giving this fruit an exquisite flavor. The cut printed on page 32 shows how they grow. Guava is a sub-tropical fruit. It makes an ex- cellent jelly; the Guava jelly having a world-wide reputation. Peaches. — The illustration which ap- pears in this publication shows to what extent the peach can be cultivated in this section of Florida on the line of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. While Manatee county has become famous as a citrus growing center, the fact must not be over- looked that its fame is now being heralded from one end of the country to the other as the most successful vegetable-producing section to be found in the world. Here are produced celery, tomatoes, cabbage, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beans, egg plant, peppers, cauliflower, onions, squash, okra, peas, beets, carrots, and, in fact, prac- tically every known vegetable for early table use. Celery. — Planted in October and Novem- one of these pages a field of lettuce arriving at maturity, and judging from the apparent look of satisfaction exhibited by the cultivators one might well imagine the financial results from tiie marketing of the large field of this very prolific vegetable. Tomatoes. — The tomato was first introduced into Europe from South America in 1596, and for many years it was planted only as an ornament to the flower garden. It is now one of the greatest vegetable revenue pro- ducers grown. The consumption of tomatoes began with their gradual use in the prepara- tion of sauces and soups, having attained its popularity as a table vegetable in compara- tively recent years. The source of revenue to growers as particularly applying to Manatee county is very large. They are easily raised in the superior soil found here, and in view of the fact that they bring high prices in the early part of the season, we find each year an in- creased acreage of tomato cultivation. The il- lustration on page 25 of the cultivation and har- vesting shows to what a splendid growth this 23 EVERY VARIETY OF EARLY VEGETABLE PRODUCED UNDER THE SUN IS GROWN PROFITABLY ON THE MANATEE LANDS ALONG THE S.

Egg Plant. — Sown in October and November, transplanted in November, December and January. Yields from 600 to 1,000 crates per acre. For the bene- fit of our readers, a full-page illustration is given showing the growing and harvesting of egg plant, which represents an important branch of vegetable cultivation in this part of Florida. As will be seen from the photograph of the egg plant field, one of the new methods of irrigation has been adopted. This precaution taken, together with the proper preparation of the ground in the beginning and care of the crop at each successive step of its growth by educated and experienced farmers, result in great success being obtained vember. There is a large quantity of cauliflower grown here and marketed with a good profit. Potatoes. — Irish and sweet potatoes grow lux- uriantly in Manatee county. Sweet potatoes are raised for shipment as well as for local con- sumption. Great quantities of Irish potatoes are raised throughout this entire section and the revenue produced is worthy of note. Squash. — Planted in January; yield from 150 to 200 crates per acre. This vegetable has a ready sale in the various markets at a fair profit to the grower. Okra. — One of the many fine pay- ing crops, and the production of this vegetable here is on the increase. Peas, Beets, Carrots, as well as the various other vegetables which mav PICKING TOMATOES, MANATEE COUNTY, FLORIDA, S. A. L. RY. in the production of this particular vegetable. It is considered an exceedingly profitable industry. Peppers. — In the month of September sweet pep- pers are sown, then transplanted in October and November. Yield from 500 to i.odo crates per acre. Views of two fine fiields of peppers are shown in a composite picture with the other il- lustrations. Here, again, the irrigation system comes into play, which at times is a very neces- sary adjunct to the most extensive production of this valuable vegetable. Peppers are cultivated at a comparatively low cost, and as the prices they bring are exceedingly good there is con- sequently large profit in raising them. Cauli- flower. — Set out in September, October and No- be grown any place in the country, are grown successfully here, and the profit on the different varieties of vegetables raised in the Manatee section is large in proportion to the amount of capital invested and the labor required. The various vegetables referred to are raised here with much more ease and, consequently, at much less expense than in any other section known. The beet field view, which is combined in the same cut as the lettuce view heretofore referred to, demonstrates how superbly this vegetable grows in Manatee county. Pera Grass. — Yields from 5 to 8 tons of hay per acre. It is fine for pasture. Bermuda Grass. — The yield in this sec- tion is good and furnishes excellent pasturage. 25 CULTIVATION OF EGG PLANT IN FLORIDA ON THE S. A. L. RY.

Pertinent to Manatee county for the homeseeker, the Manatee Journal says: "During the past season the truckers reaped a golden harvest. Manatee county offers some ex- ceptional advantages for the homeseeker. The fact that this countv is in the southern part of the State and practically immune from devasta- ting frosts and the chilly embraces of winter make it an ideal spot for the truck farmer and fruit grower. One of the strongest points that should be considered by the prospective homeseeker is the long coast line on the Gulf of Mexico, which assures a cool, balmy breeze throughout the summer and is a protection in the winter. Celery, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, egg-plant, cabbage, cucumbers, beans, etc., are being successfully grown in Manatee county on an enormous scale. The past season a bumper crop of celery was marketed at top-notch prices, and was immedi- ately followed by a record-breaking tomato crop, the latter crop alone bringing in something like $1,000,000. It should be remembered that Man- atee county vegetables are matured and shipped to the northern markets many weeks ahead of similar vegetables from any part of the country north of us. These crops reach the markets when there is a big demand for them and when the prices are highest.

Sarasota, Manatee County. — Population 2,000; ten miles south of Bradentown, the county seat. There is perhaps no section of Florida more charming or more important than Sarasota, which is an important integral part of the great count)' of Manatee. The city of Sarasota is situated on the beautiful Sara- sota bay, which extends from the Manatee river to Venice. Sarasota is the first large town' in Florida on the Seaboard Air Line Railway north of the southern terminus of the line. This railway extends, however, 24 miles further South, through to Venice. Sarasota has water works, sewerage system, electric light plant, yacht and woman's clubs, schools, churches, low tax rate, and good social conditions. It has many mercantile establishments, several commercial and tourist hotels, two fine club houses, golf course, numerous brick and stone office buildings, news- papers, banks, a number of progressive real estate operators, ice factory, planing mill and lumber concerns, machine and repair shops. The fish in- dustry is also a very important one, and through- out this entire section there are a great many fish- ermen, as well as large buyers and shippers of fish, who have amassed good-sized fortunes in the last few years. Fishing and hunting are pas- times for which lovers of this sport from afar travel thousands of miles to enjoy in the Sarasota bay district. The waters of Sarasota bay and the gulf are termed by globe-girdling anglers the most alluring fishing places on earth. The illus- trations shown give an idea of the fine fish to be found in this locality. Oysters, clams, stone crab and other shellfish are here in quantities. Other principal pursuits — in fact, the greatest of all — engaged in by the citizens of the city and the con- tiguous territory are the growing of early veg- etables and the cultivation of citrus fruit. On the Seaboard Air Line Railway's side tracks are packing-houses capable of handling large quanti- ties of fruits and vegetables. Every farm and packing-house practically in the Sarasota bav dis- trict enjoys the advantage of the telephone, bringing them in close communication.

The only means of access was through a small steamboat plying between the then village of Sarasota and Tampa, and under these conditions growth was almost impossible, with the result that the first evidence of a neces- sity for a railway in this part of the county was shown in the fact that the plans of the Scotch company were "side-tracked." Time passed un- til 1903, when the Seaboard Air Line Railway completed a line to Sarasota, and, as a result, this place has grown into a town of 2,000 resi- dents, augmented during the winter season by many visitors, for Sarasota is one of Florida's most charming winter resorts for tourists from the North and West. In the meantime the rural lands contiguous to Sarasota have settled rapidly with intelligent farmers, and the surrounding country is dotted with many fine orange groves and wealth-producing truck gardens. In the Sarasota bay district the soil and climate are peculiarly adapted to successful agricultural and fruit culture pursuits. On both mainland and keys there are beautiful locations for winter homes, with adjoining gardens and groves that may be had for prices surprising to those who have invested in water frontage in older locali- ties ; yet it is not a case of pioneering to come to Sarasota district. Hard-surfaced roads lead north and south along the mainland shores. There will finally be completed a causeway and bridge across the bay to Sarasota Key and the gulf beach. This will be part of the Manatee county system to be built under a $500,000 bond issue, to connect with those of adjoining counties. The county is now finishing roads under a $250,000 issue, and Sarasota during last summer spent $100,000 on street work. No stronger testi- mony could be given of the progressive people in this territory. Along the city bay front a sea wall was recently completed, with filling that is being parked for public benefit. Over a mile of space for viewing the scenic wonders of the bay is now complete. Among the numerous hand- some illustrations made from photographs of fruits, vegetables and other industries in Man- atee county there may be seen displayed in this publication a view of a section of a 35-acre field of celery near Sarasota. This is one of the grear vegetables of Florida, and it is hard to find any trucking product which is more easily cultivated, or with more profit to the grower, than this vege- table, which is so splendidly, so successfully, and so largely raised in this part of Florida, tra- versed by the Seaboard Air Line Railway.

They are, therefore, reliable indexes to the existing conditions and serve bet- ter than a longer discourse on this subject.

These lands at the present time are largely employed for the purpose of raising cattle. One of the great ranches of the South is located in this region.

The Sarasota section is a sub-section of the famous territory embraced by Manatee and por- tions of adjoining counties known as the "Mana- tee section." The Sarasota section borders the Gulf of Mexico from the Manatee river to Lem- on bay. One of the most attractive and produc- tive regions opened up by the Seaboard Air Line Railway are those lands embraced in the terri- tory between Sarasota and Venice. By including the territory contiguous to the railway, there are more than one hundred square miles benefited by this extension. The railway terminates on the south side of the Bay of Venice. On the fruit and other fruits. A portion of the land is covered with palmetto and native grasses, but these are being gradually replaced by cowpeas, velvet beans, the Bermuda, Pera and Crab grasses, cassava, peanuts, rice, sugar cane, etc. Not only are they well adapted for the products mentioned, but they are also peculiarly adapted to the raising of various kinds of vegetables, such as tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, pota- toes, beans, peas and celery; of the latter there is produced a larger quantity than grown on the same amount of land in any other section of the United States. These lands are easily drained, as numerous creeks are found, and wells are being driven from time to time.

This system consists of numerous overhead pipes generally supported about seven feet above the surface of the ground. These pipes are fed primarily from a 4-inch main which extends through the center of the field, or at intervals of considerable dis- tances in cases where an extra large acreage is under one cultivation. From this main, about fifty feet apart, extend the laterals of I -inch pipe. There are nozzles on these laterals every four feet, which afford a passage of water in spray form. The present rapid development heretofore mentioned of these lands furnishes a splendid opportunity for settlers to locate here for the purpose of engaging in the fruit and vegetable industry. Oneco, Manatee County. — Pop. 400; 7 miles north of Sarasota. Fine fruits and vegetables. There is located here a won- derful nursery, affording a lavish display of semi-tropical and tropical plants, shrubs and flowers. About 80 varieties of palms are scat- tered through this nursery. Here the banana shrub bears its sweetness in the form of little budding flowers and scents the air with a delight- ful and restful fragrance. Some of the hot- houses are an acre each in extent ; some of glass and some of lath. Only the propagation houses are necessary to be under glass, as the climate is exceedingly mild and salubrious. Practically all of the citrus fruits and temperate zone plants of rare beauty are to be seen here, and the various heated houses are filled to overflowing with plants. Among some of the tropical trees and fruit plants grown here may be mentioned the following varieties : Pineapple, date, cocoanut, cherimoya or Jamaica apple, custard apple, sugar apple, antidema bunius, averrhcea carambola, melon fruit, carissa arduina, shakewood tree, cupania supida kai-apple, Surinam cherry, rose apple, grewia denticulata, barbadoa cherry, mango, bananas of various kinds, avocado pear, guava, sapodilla, tamarind, limeberry, Java plum and scores of others. Bradentown, Manatee County. — Popula- tion 3.000. This is the capital of the great county of Manatee, famous for its fruit and vegetable productiveness. As the govern- ments of the towns of Bradentown and .Man- atee, as well as that of Manatee county, are so closely allied, it might seem appropriate to state that the continued wealth floating into this county by virtue of the enormous ship- ments of perishables is the greatest of all reasons for the prosperity which exists in these enter- prising towns. The splendid railway facilities offered by the Seaboard Air Line Railway fur- nish the necessary outlet for the prompt market- ing of perishables. The output of fruit and veg- etables from Manatee county is now annually from one and one-half million to two million packages. These two products represent approx- imately one to two million dollars to the grow- ers and farmers cultivating Manatee lands. In addition to this source of revenue there are other important industries of great value, such as those of the raising of cattle and hogs. Naval stores, lumber and fisheries afford an additional and enormous influx of money to the coffers of the owners of these enterprises. Millions of pounds of fish are shipped annually from points on the river, bays and gulf along the Manatee coast. Throughout this entire section the people are cultured and hospitable. The schools of Bra- dentown, Manatee and adjoining towns compare favorably with the grade schools of any State, North, East or West. Both the grammar and high schools are under the supervision of a com- 37 petent superintendent and a corps of teachers. These schools are open to the children of tour- ists free of charge. All the towns in this vicinity have good streets, good sidewalks and fine hard surfaced roads, running to Sarasota and, in fact, not only to practically all parts of Manatee and adjacent counties, but through and between all the large bodies of lands which are all ex- tensively cultivated by the successful fruit and vegetable growers. Bradentown has several banks, opera-house, quite a number of hotels and boarding-houses. A number of progressive real estate dealers are located here, and no set of men at any point have ever done more than these operators to build up the center of the greatest fruit and vegetable producing section known to exist. They have, with unabated fervor, con- tinued their efforts in this direction, which, com- bined with the hearty support and co-operation of the other substantial citizens of the city, have resulted in building up a town valuable as a point of business and delightful as a place of residence. There are numerous opportunities here for the investment of money in real estate, as well as in manufacturing plants requiring only limited cap- ital, which will fill the present requirements of the city. With the town increasing so rapidly, the demands for additional plants for the manu- facture of a variety of articles would seem to be the natural conclusion. Sectional long-distance views of Bradentown, forming a composite cut, are shown on one of these pages, and from this it will be observed that the town has a fine water- front. It will be readily seen that the geo- graphical location of a town in this vicinity is superior to the average, and as the real FIGS ARE GROWN SUCCESSFULLY IN FLORIDA ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN PART, ALONG THE S.

RY. estate values at present are far below what they will naturally be in the not far distant future, we speak advisedly when we say that the lands may be purchased at the present time for less than their true value, as it is a foregone conclusion that a land so wonderfully endowed by nature must, of necessity, become more in demand as time pro- gresses, and as the ever-increasing population clamor for the delicious fruits and superior veg- etables which are raised on these lands. In 1900 Bradentown was an unincorporated village of 350 people ; in 1910, according to the United States census, there were located here in round numbers 1,900 people. The city's increase in population is indicative of its rapid growth and prosperity. Surrounded as all the towns are in this section with such productive lands and cli- matic conditions, there is no question about the ultimate future of Bradentown. Manatee, Manatee County. — This enterprising town is located on a spot of unusual natural beauty, at- tractive and easily accessible by land or water. Its interests are identical with Bradentown, and these two towns are located, only a little more than a mile apart. What has been said in regard to Bradentown applies, to Manatee. They are beneficiaries of the large influx of money resulting from the cultivation, harvesting and marketing of the products of this county. Both have fine residential and good business locations. The streets, in regular square blocks, run east and west along the Manatee river, lined on either side with stately rows, of venerable live oaks with streamers of Spanish moss dangling from their limbs. These rows of oaks are interspersed with fine hedges of olean- der and gorgeous clusters of palmettos, which 39 MANATEE AVENUE, MANATEE. FLA., S. A. L.

Here are found the golden fruits — the fine guava, sapodillas. winding fringes of banana trees, mangoes, tamarinds. Real estate investments in the way of town property or in the outlying farm lands should prove exceedingly remunerative, as values throughout this entire section are increas- ing rapidly. Manavista, Manatee County. — Pop. 100. This is the location of one of the largest grapefruit groves in the world, and is one of the most beautiful estates in the county. It has an output of grapefruit of wonderful magnitude. There are also numerous other equally fine pro- ducing grapefruit groves in this locality. The citrus fruits in this section have never been killed by a freeze or injured by a frost. Palmetto, Manatee County. — Pop. 1,500. This town is headquarters for a number of the citrus growers and operators of the trucking lands, many acres being under cultivation nearby. Not only are the most fertile citrus and trucking lands under culti- vation here, but thousands of acres are still un- developed awaiting the hand of capital and labor.

The real estate men located here have done a world of good for this section, and they are continuing in their on- ward march of development in order to meet the requirements of new settlers who are continually taking up their habitation in these parts. These real estate operators are in a position to furnish any information desired by prospective investors, or further literature on the subject will be fur- nished by the General Industrial Department of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. There are a great many orange groves near Palmetto, some of them exceedingly large, and all producing large quantities of this juicy and luscious fruit. The government has inaugurated a pre-cooling plant for experimental purposes at Palmetto, Fla. This arrangement will lower the temperature in refrigerator cars to the same extent as ice would accomplish. After this process the fruits and vege- tables are then loaded and the cars are iced to their capacity. It will be seen that this is a verv happy solution of the refrigeration of perishables. Throughout this wonderful fruit and vegetable country are to be found hard roads in fine condi- tion, extending miles in every direction, making it easy to reach transportation facilities. Pal- metto has two splendidly conducted banks, a $28,000 brick school building, which is a most modern institution of learning; finely paved streets, concrete sidewalks, water works, public library, electric lighting plant and all the con- veniences possessed by a much larger town. The Hoard of Trade suggests the following industries as likely to prove profitable : A brick plant and planing mill, as there is a wonderful amount of building going on ; crate factory, stave and coop- erage plant, as the shipments of fruits and veg- etables from this section are enormous. In order to give an idea of the extent of this industry it may be stated that there are now twelve packing- houses located in Palmetto. There is also a mammoth ice plant located here and used ex- clusively for icing the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way's cars for the immense shipments of fruits and vegetables consumed in the large Northern and Western markets. Buyers flock here for nine months in the year from every large center in the United States, and for this reason the small shipper secures the same advantage as the carload producer. Throughout this entire sec- tion the produce is bought in the field, at the packing-house or contracted for here, where the highest price is obtained by reason of the modern methods of handling and the rapid transit sup- plied by the Seaboard Air Line Railway in land- ing the perishables at the large markets of the North and West. Other industries are develop- ing, such as canning and jelly factories, the former to can a portion of the enormous veg- etable crops and the latter for making the well- known guava and other high-class jellies inci- dent to the production of the highly flavored fruits abounding here in such great profusion.

Terra Ceia has a bank, several general merchan- dise stores, public library, graded school and several packing-houses for crating the products shipped from this point. A drug store and hotel will no doubt prove profitable investments. Ter- ra Ceia is located near the mouth of the Manatee river, surrounded by the waters of Tampa bay and Terra Ceia bay, which give it an immunity from frost equal to portions of the State ioo miles further south, as evidenced by the grape- fruit and the orange having been uninjured by the disastrous freezes in the past. The soil is marl hammock and very productive. This is one of the richest spots in the famous county of Manatee. Celery, pepper, egg plant, lettuce and tomatoes are the principal vegetables raised on Terra Ceia Island, of which Terra Ceia is the center. This island is divided into five and ten acre tracts, each irrigated by artesian wells. Here the vegetables named, as well as other varieties, reach the highest state of perfection. One may obtain a truly beautiful sight by taking an automobile tour on the fine hard surfaced roads winding mile after mile around and; . through the gorgeous groves and farms on Terra Ceia Island. Several of the illustrations shown herein have been made from photographs taken', at Terra Ceia and in contiguous territory, espe-- daily for publication in this book.

This is a ten-acre grove and is one of the most wonderful in the \Vorld, having averaged the owner an income of .lover $15,000 per year for many years. It con- tains 200 trees to the acre, while the usual num- "ber of trees planted per acre is from 68 to 80. The trees are as thick as hops, so to speak, and the growth is so dense that when passing between the rows one has to stoop in order to walk under the extending branches. There are .other groves, however, similarly productive lo- ■ cated on Terra Ceia Island, reaching the greatest -possible state of perfection known on account of the fertility of the soil and the existing favorable ■'climatic conditions. On the main line of the Sea- board Air Line Ry. north of this island is to be found the largest known grapefruit grove, consist- ing of 300 acres of full-bearing trees, with 100 acres more coming into bearing next season. The lands on Terra Ceia Island are largely planted with trees bearing magnificent grapefruit, of which product there were shipped last year about 100,000 boxes. In this section may be found splendid opportunities for the investment of money in lands for fruit and vegetable cultiva- tion. At the end of three years after planting, when a grove becomes full-bearing, the revenue from each year's crop per acre is about the same amount as it costs per acre to buy the land. These are present values. This island is truly the garden spot of the world. Parrish, Mana- tee County. — Pop. 800.

It also pro- duces large quantities of early vegetables, such as tomatoes, lettuce, celery, cucumbers and other varieties. Considerable revenue is also derived from the naval stores industry. There is no bank at Parrish, and we are advised by some of the substantial citizens that an institu- tion of this kind with a limited capital will un- questionably pay handsome returns. Good fruit and vegetable lands may be purchased here at reasonable figures. This is an ideal spot for the early raising of these products. Wimauma, Hillsboro County. — Pop. 300.

Tampa is the great metropolis of South Florida. It is the second largest city in the State. The climate is one of its chief charms, it being an all-year-round resort for tourists, and nowhere on the face of the globe is to be found more charming, cultured and progressive people. It is known far and wide for its hospitality, climate, hotels, real estate development and manufactures, especially the manufacture of cigars. The educa- tional advantages are excellent. There are nu- merous churches, clubs and other social features. Commercially it is a city of great importance, having a far-reaching wholesale and retail trade in practically every line of merchandise. It is the nearest port in the United States to the Panama Canal. It is the center of the great fruit and vegetable producing lands of South Florida and is surrounded by a rich rural section with numer- ous small towns, all contributing to the wel- fare and prosperity of this enterprising city. Tampa is blessed with fine transportation facili- ties, having steamship lines direct to New York, Mobile and various points on the Hillsboro and Manatee rivers throughout the southern portions of Florida, and rail lines extending in every di- rection, the most important of which is the Sea- board Air Line Railway. From various points the several boat lines touch Tampa, and from the hundreds of inland points possessing the superior rail transportation facilities of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, the Tampa Northern Railroad, the Tampa & Gulf Coast Railway, Atlantic Coast Line and other railways, there is handled an enormous amount of products to and from this valuable section of the great State of Florida. Oranges and other fruits abound in great pro- fusion. The full-page illustration herein shows a single grapefruit tree only three years old photographed near Tampa. This is considered the most magnificent tree bearing grapefruit at this age known, and was cultivated without the use of fertilizer. Other resources, in addition to fruits and trucking products, are phosphate, naval stores and lumber. Within a distance of 100 miles there are to be found in several direc- tions immense phosphate beds, where the various investments will total more than $50,000,000. These mines employ thousands of men, many of the plants running night and day, in consequence of which millions of tons of phosphate rock are shipped to all parts of the globe. A very large proportion of this product is shipped via the Sea- board Air Line Railway to Tampa and Fernan- dina, where steamers receive it and take it coastwise as well as to foreign ports. The naval stores industry in several directions is a large source of revenue to Tampa, there being enor- mous quantities of rosin and turpentine shipped from the rural sections adjacent via the various transportation lines. A great many of these ship- ments originate on the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way, while others originate on the connecting lines running into Tampa, received by this Com- pany and carried from this point to destination or to the terminals where it is turned over to the steamers for export. The illustration depicted in this connection shows the splendid terminal facilities of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. In the pine-producing districts, where the timber has been turpentined to its fullest extent, the lumber- man begins his harvest. There are, of course, large bodies of other varieties of timber which are being cut. The total amount of all classes of timber cut and lumber manufactured results in bringing to the State an enormous amount of money. Lumber, as well as the more extensively manufactured timber products, furnish a great deal of tonnage for the railways. Tampa re- ceives directly and indirectly a large benefit from 45 TAMPA, FLA., SCENES. I. FLORIDA AVENUE AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWIGG STREET. 2. THE S. A. L. RY.

THIS FINE PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE, WITH ITS ATTRACTIVE LAWN AND SURROUNDING PALM TREES, IS ONE OF THE MANY ADORNMENTS OF THE CITY. the demands made upon the State in this respect. Another of the many resources of Tampa is that of the fish to be found in the waters here. The fish industry alone gives employment to more than a thousand men and comprises a fishing fleet of nearly 500 boats. The wealth of any city and its inhabitants is determined largely by the natural resources found within its zone, and in this respect Tampa is far ahead of the average city. The location is ideal, climatically and geo- graphically. It is so conveniently situated, not only to the enormous wealth of the natural re- sources referred to above, but its drawing power as a trade center and its superior advantages as a manufacturing point place it upon a pinnacle of superbly located cities. Tampa is situated 79 feet above the sea level, and as a place of resi- dence is unexcelled. There are but few points where the temperature is so uniform as at Tampa. On the hottest days in eastern and west- ern cities there is invariably a gentle breeze blow- ing here, and there is no such thing as sleepless nights because of heat. Tampa has a variety of industries, among the more important of which the following may be mentioned : A great many large cigar factories ; cigar box factory ; iron and machine works: boiler works; brass and iron foundries ; the building of dredges, cranes and derricks of immense power ; gasoline lamp fac- tory ; trunk factory ; carriage, wagon and harness factories ; broom factories ; palmetto brush fac- tory ; numerous wood-working establishments ; cooperage works ; crate material factory, making tile, brick and blocks ; cornice works, sheet metal and galvanized iron roofing works ; cider and vinegar works ; bottling works ; coffee roasters and mills ; soap factory ; two fertilizer factories ; patent medicine factory ; furniture factory ; heater and ventilator factories ; marble and granite works ; shipbuilding works ; ship yards ; sail ma- kers ; clothing factories ; brewery ; several ice and cold-storage plants. There is located here the largest and best equipped cold-storage plant in the South. Tampa is exceptionally fortunate in its newspapers, having a morning paper ably edited and well managed. The evening paper is also a bright and newsy sheet. A weekly paper keeps abreast with the latest news of the truck and fruit industries, which are so important to this State especially. The above, and also two weekly papers, are printed in English, while there are two others printed in Spanish and 49 FLORIDA "GOOD ROADS." I. TAMPA TO TARPON SPRINGS. 2. TYPICAL SCENE IN FLORIDA. 3.

Tampa has several line hotels and some excellent restaurants, which are conducted the year round. The hotels easily accommodate 5,000 tourists. The banking facilities are ade- quate for its needs, as the city has a number of financial institutions, all strong, progressive, con- servative and well able to extend such assistance as the business demands of the city and sur- rounding community require. Tampa proper and West Tampa have together about 75 miles of brick paving, and there are also in this immediate section over 200 miles of surfaced roads, radia- ting to various points, so that motoring here is a perpetual delight. The roads referred to are located in Hillsboro county, of which Tampa is the county seat, but they connect with other fine roads leading to all the principal points through- out the State, as well as connecting with the various national highways. The roads in this county have been important factors in accelera- ting the great progress made by the farmers in marketing their crops, as well as enabling them to traverse quickly their numerous large planta- tions, of which there are many. As indicated by the "Florida Good Roads" illustration on preced- ing page, it will be observed that the city of Tampa and other cities of this great State are wide awake to the advantages offered by such im- provements over other localities not so fortunate. One of the views in this combination cut shows a section of a fine road running from Tampa to Tarpon Springs, where is conducted the largest sponge industry in the State. There are over 200 factories making clear Havana cigars in this city. These factories employ 15,000 men and women in the different branches of the industry, and turn out on an average of 1,000,000 cigars for each working day of the year. Calculating this output (in the basis of an average price of $85 per thousand, which is a conservative esti- mate, it will be seen that the revenue from this product ale me amounts to many millions of dollars. This industry has shown an increase in output of more than 100 per cent, during the past ten years. One of the largest factories made last year by actual count over 18,000,000 cigars. In- teresting interior views of this factory are dis- played on these pages. One shows the workers selecting the wrappers used in the manufacture of the cigars ; the other the cigarmakers in their commodious and well-ventilated cigar-making room. A few of the other factories make almost as many cigars, and the majority of the remain- ing smaller factories do a correspondingly large business. The Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue advises that all the Tampa internal revenue receipts returned for the District of Columbia for the fiscal year ending last June aggregate $913,- 104.23. Tampa has one of the most attractive government buildings in any southern city, being surrounded by beautiful and stately palms. This building, as well as other views, are featured on these pages, from which it will be seen that Tampa is an exceedingly beautiful city. Its citizens have been tireless in their efforts to let the world know of the wonders of this charming spot, and they have been remarkably fortunate in this respect, which is evidenced by the fact that people from all parts of the country are gradually locating here. The city is destined to become a metropolis of much greater importance, and for that reason investments in this direction would seem wise. Tampa is a semi-business, semi- tourist city, and accomplishes a full proportion in each capacity ; therefore it is much more impor- tant than the average city.

THIS TOWN IS LARGELY COMPOSED OF CIGAR MAKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. unexcelled as a winter resort, it is also of great interest for the various reasons heretofore sug- gested. Tampa is South Florida's progressive center. Hillsboro county has recently voted a bond issue of $1,000,000 to extend its good roads system, and work of building 75 miles of good brick road will soon be under way. If any further evidence of the progressive spirit of that portion of the State is needed it is found in this action for good roads. Tampa, situated on a land-locked harbor, with 24 feet of water and ample dock facilities, has made progress fast. It is the foremost phosphate rock exporting point in the world and the volume of this traffic is evidenced by the Seaboard Air Line Railway's plan for an additional modern phosphate plant now in progress of construction at a cost of $100,000. This elevator will have a capacity of 300 tons of phosphate rock per hour, making a total of 600 tons per hour by the completed facilities. Tampa's surroundings should be given consideration in determining reasons for its up- ward growth. The "Big Five" — Pasco, Polk, Hillsboro, Pinellas and Manatee County — lying immediately adjacent to Tampa, comprise the richest early vegetable and fruit lands in the South, and are a strong competitor of the Pacific Coast. Attracted by its wonderful climate and soil conditions this fruit-growing district is grow- ing by leaps and bounds, and new fruit trees are being set out which will in a short time largely increase the production. The beautiful Pinellas Peninsula, which lies at Tampa's door, has long attracted attention. It now has under construc- tion a fifty mile railroad, a large timber develop- ment, and the bringing in of its rich fruit and vegetable lands. Polk, rich in phosphate, and producing half million boxes of citrus fruit last year, has a railroad extension, phosphate develop- ment and timber development under way. Mana- tee, with its protection from frost, on whose lands the trucker and fruit grower last season reaped a golden harvest, has new areas of rich lands coming in, a fifty-mile railroad and largo timber development under way. The opportuni- ties here in the Tampa district for expansion can be observed from the quoted land area: Hillsboro, 850,560 acres; Manatee, 855,680 acres ; Polk, 1,224,080 acres ; Pasco, 490,880 acres. On these rich lands, where three to four annual crops can be grown, there is found a wide selec- tion for the fruit grower, trucker, dairyman, cattle raiser and homeseeker. The millions noted, which will be spent in this district, spell opportunity for many. Ybor City, Hillsboro County. — Pop. 20,000. Ybor City is practically a part of Tampa, notwithstanding the fact that the two cities have separate corporations. The favorable comments which have been made in regard to Tampa as regards the climate and advantages as a manu- facturing center will apply to Ybor City. This place is the headquarters for a large part of the tobacco interests in this section. There are a great many cigar factories located at this point, and this is the principal manufacturing business. Brooksville, Hernando County. — T. N. R.R. Pop. 2,000. This town recently sold an issue of $100,000 worth of bonds for good roads. Brooks- ville is improving very rapidly. Considerable building is going on, and new investments are being established from time to time. There are located here two banking institutions, a newspa- per, a good hotel, lumber plants, a crate factory, ■ pi fcdB?'^' ■* T&3I v^jfj wT'-' ^1 ; '!

A large proportion of the lumber shipped to and through Tampa originates on the Tampa Northern Railroad, which line is one of the val- uable connections of the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way. The Tampa Northern Railroad extends from Tampa to Brooksville, a distance of 49 miles, at which point it has a further extension of 17 miles from the main line to Centralia. This and numerous points along its line are won- derfully resourceful in timber, consisting of fine bodies of virgin pine, which afford splendid in- vestment opportunities. The view published show- ing virgin timber along the Tampa Northern Railroad is but one of hundreds of similar scenes. The revenue produced by the "cut" from these vast tracts of timber is having its result in Tampa and other towns along the line of this railway, and it is only a question of time when throughout all this county there will be found thousands of acres covered with fine citrus groves and truck- ing farms, for which the soil is so well adapted and the climatic conditions so favorable. Cen- tralia is one of the largest lumber shipping points in this entire region, having a magnificent and well-equipped lumber plant, from which are shipped millions of feet of timber products per annum via the Tampa Northern Railroad and its connection to the Eastern markets. This town is mentioned especially in connection with that of Brooksville, as it is a large contributor to the trading interests of the latter point. In view of the enormous amount of timber to be found in contiguous territory, Brooksville is unquestion- ably a profitable point for the investment of money in lands and for manufacturing purposes.

Mexico on the Tampa & Gulf Coast Railway, which connects with the Tampa Northern Rail- way, and is located in a splendid citrus fruit and truck growing country. The greatest business carried on at Tarpon Springs is that of the sponge industry. The aggregate of sponges taken in the Mediterranean countries is the great- est in the world, hut it is claimed that no single port elsewhere assembles as manv sponges as Tarpon Springs. The divers are nearly all Greeks, and their method of diving for sponges is the one now in vogue in the Gulf of Mexico along the border of this part of the State of Florida. The illustrations given in this book in regard to this subject here and at Cedar Key are from photographs specially taken for the pur- pose of publishing something' which may prove of interest to the readers regarding this novel in- dustry, for there is nothing similar to it in this country. The various sponges which the divers bring to Tarpon Springs for sale at the sponge exchange are the wool, yellow and grass sponge varieties. These sponges are harvested from the bottom of the Gulf opposite this town by Greeks protected by diving-suits and helmet. The Greeks are industrious and law-abiding members of the community. They are trained sponge divers, and some of them can work to a depth of 150 feet. The divers work from gaily painted boats of Greek model hundreds of years old, being sharp at both ends, lateen sail, rig and equipped with sweep oars. These boats are usually about 25 feet long and very seaworthy. There are always numbers of these boats to be seen in the Anclote river at the sponge exchange, either unloading sponges, fitting out for a trip or undergoing repairs. Here is seen a great variety of interests, for there is also boat build- ing going on all the time, mostly by Greeks and the Greek method of construction. The results obtained by the sponge divers are to be seen twice a week at the exchange, having been transported there by sponge schooners built specially for this purpose. A sale at the sponge exchange is in- deed quite an interesting sight. It is conducted by sealed bids every Tuesday and Friday, and there is generally quite a flutter of excitement upon the opening up of the various bids. The annual sales amount to about $1,000,000, which give the 2,000 Greeks, a large proportion of whom are sponge divers with headquarters at Tarpon Springs, quite a considerable income. Lake Butler, east of the town, teems with black bass. The gulf grouper and Spanish mackerel are abundant. The celebrated Tarpon fish, from which Tarpon Springs takes its name, while not so abundant as formerly, are occasionally seen. Clearwater, the seat of Pinellas County, has a population of 2.500. This town is situated on the Gulf of Mexico and is the second largest town located in the territory embraced along the route of the new extension of the Tampa & Gulf Coast Railway between Tampa and St. Petersburg.

Clearwater has several large citrus fruit packing-houses, banks, as well as various indus- trial and commercial enterprises. The new ex- tension of the Tampa & Gulf Coast Railway will open up fine timber lands which will, when cleared, increase the citrus fruit growing and vegetable producing lands hundreds of thousands of acres. The timber cut and manufactured, the raising of vegetables and the cultivation of fruit will furnish, in the course of time, enormous quantities of traffic for the new road. Most of this traffic will pass through and be of great ben- efit to Tampa, the Seaboard Air Line Railway and other transportation lines over which it passes before finally reaching the world's markets. Largo, Pinellas County. — Pop. 1,000. This is the next station of importance on the new extension of the Tampa & Gulf Coast Railway to St. Petersburg. Largo is quite a fruit and vegetable producing section, citrus fruits especially being a large industry here. St. Petersburg, Pinellas County. — Has a population of 8,000. St. Petersburg, on the Pinel- las Peninsula, is the terminus of the Tampa & Gulf Coast Railway. It is unique among Florida cities. It is called "The Sunshine City," as much for the bright and cheerful cordiality of its people as for its delightful peninsular climate and seem- ingly perpetual sunny days. At present the Sea- board Air Line Railway's regular patrons be- tween St. Petersburg and the East are being taken care of by boat between this city and Tampa, but with the completion of the Tampa & Gulf Coast Railwav there will be still further A MID-WINTER SUN BATH ON A BEACH IN FLORIDA, S.

The latter picture shows a large party of prospective settlers pre- paratory to taking an automobile tour through the agricultural regions traversed by the numer- ous fine hard-surfaced roads of this county. Bar- tow is the capital of Polk, one of the best-man- aged counties in the whole of Florida. It has several well-conducted and prosperous banks, numerous commercial establishments, a number of manufacturing plants and various other in- dustries, which, combined with large shipments of vegetables, has contributed to the growth of the town. The citizens are enterprising and al- ways ready to lend a helping hand to newcomers. Polk has more phosphate within its borders than any other county in the United States, and has the largest individual phosphate plant in the world. This section is rich in timber and turpen- tine, the immense forests covering thousands of acres. A whole page of this publication has been devoted to a sectional view of one of the vast tracts of virgin timber on the Seaboard Air Line Railway in Polk county. It is also exceedingly wealthy in available agricultural lands, admirably located, with numerous small and picturesque lakes. Polk county is so rich in natural resources that it ranks as the fourth richest county in Florida, and contains 1,250,000 acres. The first impression of Bartow is that it is pictur- esquely different, because of its semi-tropical scenery ; also it is delightfully different from the average town because of the atmosphere being laden with the odors of the banana and the strange plants in the gardens of its inhabitants. The second impression, which is also a correct one, is that Bartow is a solid place in which to live and in which to do business, because of the underlying solidity of the town itself and the vast resources which lend their influence to the popu- larity of the county. It is 210 miles south of ..*■:. •:> ----- MANY FINE CATTLE ARE RAISED IN FLORIDA. THIS SCENE IS FROM A HERD AT BARTOW. POLK COUNTY, S. A. L.

Bar- tow has an elevation of 116 feet ahove the sea level. The general health conditions are first- class. In order that prospective settlers may be apprised of the advantage which should accrue to them in enhanced valuation of farm lands, it is worthy of note to cite the instance of one farmer having purchased, about ten years ago, a body of land consisting of 200 acres at $30 per acre in its virgin state, which is to-day, at a con- servative estimate, worth $50,000. This goes to prove what rapid developments may be expected from the fertile soil of this region. There are a number of other smaller farms which have been developed in proportion, and there still remains other valuable undeveloped cut-over and forest lands which may be had at reasonable figures. abundantly here, so also does the greatest of forage crops, that of cassava. Para grass is here economically grown by planting between rows of corn while cultivating; then when the corn is ready to harvest the pasture is ready for the cattle. The custom here is to run hogs on the Para grass pastures until ready to fatten, when a few bushels of cassava or corn puts them in prime condition for market. The result is that the hog-raising industry has become an impor- tant factor in this section. Mulberry, Polk County. — Pop. 2,500. This is the location of a large portion of the great phosphate industry, which is conducted on an enormous scale in these parts. Throughout this section, along the Sea- board Air Line Railway, which was recently ex- tended to Bartow, are to be found enormous beds of phosphate. This is the soft rock. Here also HYDRAULIC PHOSPHATE MIXING IX FLORIDA OX S. A. L. RY. Vegetation is prolific in these parts, vegetables and fruits being grown very' extensively. Nu- merous orange and grapefruit groves are located on the lands in every direction from Bartow. These groves bring large revenue to the citizens of Polk county. The trucking lands hereabouts are planted with almost all varieties of vegetables, such as beans, egg plant, peppers, okra, Irish potatoes, cabbage, etc. Some of the vieyvs in this publication are of sections of fields growing a number of these vegetables, which demon- strates what is being accomplished on the Sea- board Air Line Raihvay in Florida. Cattle rais- ing is one of the largest and most prosperous industries in Polk county ; the illustration of the cattle ranch depicted speaks for itself. Para grass is one of the fine fodders which grows are located mammoth plants manufacturing and shipping phosphates. The revenue derived from this source is something wonderful. To give an idea of Mulberry as an important phosphate cen- ter it might be mentioned that in contributory territory within 15 miles of this point there are 16 of the largest phosphate mining plants in the world. The total annual shipments made by these plants aggregate two and one-quarter mil- lion tons. Illustrations of this industry are fea- tured herein. Mulberry has banks, ice plants, several yvell-equipped mercantile establishments, foundry and machine shops, lumber plants, naval stores and other industries.

At Plant City are assembled from the territory embraced between this city, Bartow, Agricola, McDowell, Mulberry, Nichols, Welcome, Royster and Coronet, trainloads of phosphates transported by the Seaboard Air Line Railway to interior points, as well as for export and coastwise markets through Tampa, where this railway has immense phosphate elevators for transferring the phosphate to the vessels. Plant City has a number of banks, lumber and crate- making plants, foundry and machine works, cold- storage plant, brick kiln, fruit and vegetable packing-houses. It is the center of a fine region in which large quantities of agricultural products are raised, especially vegetables. The harvests of vegetables and fruits in this and adjacent terri- tory keep three large packing-houses busy during the shipping season. Another bank and com- modious hotel, also a canning factory to take care of the surplus products which now go to waste after the shipping season is over, would unques- tionably prove profitable. Some of the leading citizens think that the latter would pay handsome returns, because at the end of the season prices on vegetables begin to dwindle in the Eastern markets. The remaining unshipped part of the crops could be utilized to advantage by such a factory. From this same source of information we learn that the citizens of this city will be glad to render a helping hand to newcomers in the establishment of additional factories and other enterprises. Zephyrhills, Pasco Couxty. — Pop. 2,500. Thirty-eight miles north from Tampa and 173 miles south of Jacksonville. At this writing less than four years old. This certainly is a wonderfully progressive town : it has accom- plished more within the space of its existence than the average town. Its citizenship is made up of people from every section of the country, who have come here and invested in farm lands which have not only proved what was claimed for them as to their productive qualities, but real estate values have shown a material increase each year. The original citizens who established this colony displayed much foresight in sub-dividing the lands into tracts of minimum size and price, so as to place them within the reach of settlers with small capital. Some of these settlers pur- chased single tracts of 10 to 20 acres, while others purchased several tracts, but in no case was more land sold to purchasers than they were able to cultivate according to the latest and most intelligent methods. The result of this arrange- ment has proved satisfactory all around. It has been demonstrated that the farmers are most suc- cessful when they undertake the tillage of a lim- ited amount of land, within their capacity; their FLORIDA-CUBA SPECIAL, S. A. L.

Each new settler, seeing the success of his neighbor, and finding how easily success was attained in the cultivation of these fertile lands around Zephyrhills, heralded the news to the world. This had its effect, especially among his acquaintances in the land of his nativity, and the town grew by leaps and bounds. The soil is especially adapted to the growth of oranges, grapefruit, melons and other fruits, as well as vegetables and general farm crops. One may make a splendid investment by planting an orange or grapefruit grove and, pending the ex- piration of the three years taken for the grove to come into bearing, may cultivate vegetables with much profit. Tomatoes pay Sioo to $400 per acre, egg plant from $100 to S300 per acre, sugar cane $100 or more per acre, and other farm products in proportion. There is a large factory here that buys for cash all the cane that the growers can produce. This cane is manufactured into pure cane syrup, which, as in the case of the aforementioned vegetable and fruit products, finds a ready market. Zephyrhills has a bank, telephones, electric lights : it is popular with tour- ists ; has high rolling, perfectly drained land, pure water and is healthy. We are advised that a site will be donated to erect a suitable hotel. As a land of opportunities for the man with small or large capital the Zephyrhills section has no su- perior. This is the point where the first suc- cessful mill was established for making cane syrup. Greer, Pasco County. — Pop. 700. This is the location of large lumber interests. Dade City. — Pop. 1,500. Lacoochee. — Pop. 200. Both in Pasco County. Terrell, Hernando County. These three towns cover a territory of 20 miles along the Seaboard Air Line Railway north of Dade City, which is the capital of Pasco county. The illustration published of the court house here shows it to be a fine brick structure. This town has telephone service, ice and cold- storage plants, electric plant, banks, newspapers, etc. The tobacco industry gives employment to a large number of people. The soil around Dade City, and in fact throughout this entire section, is exceedingly fertile and productive. Lumber is an important factor. This is an attractive point for farmers and those in quest of desirable locations for such industries as crate factory, fur- niture factory and other wood-working establish- ments. Tobacco and canning factories should aLo pay here. At Lacoochee there are two tur- pentine distilling plants. On account of existing phosphate beds a plant mining this product should prove remunerative. Lime and brick kilns should also pay. St. Catherine. — Pop. 500. Bushnell. — Pup. 1,000.

This is the ter- minus of that portion of the Seaboard Air Line Railway which runs in a southwesterly direction to Cedar Key, but which branches off at Archer and runs down the State through the great phos- phate beds of Florida, not so far from the Gulf of Mexico. This section is known as the Dun- nellon-Inverness phosphate district. At this point and at Holder, nearby, are located phosphate mines, shipping this product via the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The exportation of this product is conducted through this railway's terminals at Fernandina, at which point the com- pany has an immense elevator for the purpose of transferring the phosphate from the cars to the steamers bound for foreign ports. The mining and shipping of phosphate assumes enormous proportions throughout all this section of Florida. The product shipped from here is the hard rock phosphate, the beds being numerous in all parts of this section of the country. This town has banking facilities, newspapers, numerous com- mercial establishments and lumber plants. The present annual output of oranges and grapefruit is about 20,000 boxes.

Gaines- ville is indeed a very important city, having a number of banks, fertilizer factories, saw and planing mills, box and crate factories, newspa- pers, two good hotels, several wholesale as well as numerous mercantile establishments, ice plant, splendid university and other educational institu- tions and the headquarters of several phosphate operators. It is surrounded with magnificent farming lands, which are adapted to the success- ful growing of pecans, cotton, sugar cane, corn, fruits and vegetables. These lands consist of a very superior soil and most any kind of farming product is easily and successfully cultivated here. The views of the United States government building and the new courthouse shown on this page are commodious structures. It is a good town in which not only to live but to estab- lish most any kind of business, as the people are prosperous, and plenty of money seems to be in circulation on account of general good business and the mining interests located nearby. Waldo, Alachua County. — Pop. 800. Junction of the main line of the Seaboard Air Line Railway with those portions of the line extending from this point to the two termini, Cedar Key and Inver- ness. An enormous amount of traffic passes through this point over the Seaboard Air Line Railway, and the town of Waldo is a very busy center. It has a new bank, a good hotel, and lum- ber abounds here. A wood-working establish- ment to supply the building trades demand, as well as a factory for manufacturing hampers and crates to accommodate the shipments of fruits ami vegetables at this point, would unquestion- ably pay. In view of recent developments in the way of drainage the lands in this vicinity are being made available and offer a golden oppor- tunity for investment. Strawberries are raised with much profit in this section. Hampton, Bradford County. — Pop. 500. On the main line, five miles south of Starke, the county seat.

The -county seat ; is on the main line of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, 45 miles south of Jackson- ville. From this point the Seaboard Air Line Railway has branches extending to Wannee, Ce- dar Key and Inverness, while its main line ex- tends on to Tampa and the Manatee section of Florida. Starke has a world-wide reputation as a strawberry-producing center. The climate is favorable, the soil in this vicinity being especially adapted for the production of this fruit, giving it a very fine flavor. The yield per acre is large and exceedingly profitable. Photographs of the strawberry industry have been taken for this pub- lication and a composite cut made of same. The three views show this industry for the benefit of prospective settlers who are looking for a good section in which to cultivate this luscious fruit. The illustration depicted is a living example of what is being done here. Lands adapted for the raising of strawberries extend for many miles in every direction and may be purchased at a fair valuation at the present time. Starke is a prosperous as well as a very busy town through- out the year, especially during th'e strawberry shipping season. It is quite an attractive sight to observe the loading of strawberries into cars at Starke, and from this point the Sea- board Air Line Railway carries them by the car- load to the various large consuming centers of the country. It is estimated that a half million dollars from strawberries alone come into this portion of Florida, of which Starke is the nucleus. The territory in which the strawberries are raised and shipped so extensively is known as the "Starke-Lawtey section" and embraces thousands of acres. All kinds of truck do well. Sea island cotton is largely grown and pecan growing is a new and profitable industry. Considerable inter- est is now being manifested in this production, in view of past successes.

Views illustrating a long string of wagons en route to market and the assorting of tobacco leaf; also other views of the pulling of the young to- bacco plant, combined with a view of a section of 14 acres of fine Sumatra tobacco being culti- vated under cheese-cloth, are shown on the two following pages. These illustrations convey an excellent idea of what is being accom- plished around this vicinity in this industry. While the greater part of Sumatra tobacco is raised on lands surrounding Quincy and at the nearby points of Gretna, Midway, etc., there is more or less tobacco raised at various points along the Seaboard Air Line Railway between River Junction and Jacksonville. There are lo- cated at Quincy fourteen packing-houses to take care of the shade cigar wrapper tobacco raised throughout this region.

The main line of the Seaboard Air Line Railway in this part of the State extends from here into the heart and southern portion of Florida as well as five other States. The location of Tallahassee is most ideal.being situated on very high, rolling ground. From these hills, which are covered with a luxuriant growth of shade trees and flowers in bewildering variety, a glimpse may be had of near and far off lands covered with a multitude of crops, swch as pecans, oats, tobacco, cotton, corn and vegetables of all varieties. Ac- companying are views of a grove producing" fine pecans and a field of oats, both being grown ex- tensively, especially in this section of Florida. In addition to the foregoing crops nearly all other garden and farming crops grow to perfection in the county of Leon. Cigar wrapper tobacco has been grown in this county for more than a gen- eration. The soil in this and certain sections of the adjoining counties is peculiarly adapted to tobacco cultivation. The attention of prospective settlers is invited to the fact that these lands are also exceedingly well adapted to the successful cultivation of corn, cotton, Irish potatoes and melons.

This town is known all over the country as being the head- quarters of a great pecan-growing industry, as well as being famous for the quality and quantity of watermelon seed raised and shipped from here to all parts of America and to some foreign countries. [Melons are largely raised for the purpose of furnishing seed for planting purposes. There are located here many large nurseries, supplying stock for propagating various fruits, flowers and pecans, which plants are shipped all over the country, but especially throughout the South and Southwest, including Texas and Mex- ico. Pecans are grown and shipped extensively from here. Views illustrating the pecan industry are given for the benefit of our readers. Monti- cello is very prosperous. The town has two good banks, newspaper, ice plant, lumber plants, naval stores, leaf tobacco business, etc., in addition to the other large industries mentioned. The lands are very superior for growing pecans, tobacco, and in fact all farm products. The prospective investor should investigate the advantages pos- sessed by Monticello.

This is one of the finest agricultural regions in all the territory between the points named above. In the main the soil of Madison county is a sandy loam with a clay sub-soil, the various varieties of these soils furnish excellent facilities for the principal classes of grain and forage crops, as well as the numerous varieties of vegetables and melons. Another great resource is that of yellow pine and cypress timber, consisting of thousands of acres. Additional wood-working establish- ments should pay at Madison. This vicinity is well worth the attention of the prospective settler, as this town has all modern conveniences, is a good trading point, and its natural resources should prove of interest to the farmer and manu- facturer alike.

This town has several financial institutions, wholesale gro- cers, wholesale dry-goods establishments, lumber and planing mills, ice and cold-storage plant, grist mill, foundry, machine shop, brick works, can- nery, leaf tobacco industry, cooperage works, etc. Fine watermelons are raised in this section, especially the territory from Live Oak to Lake City. In every direction are found large tracts of timber. Suwannee county is an enor- mous producer of various farm products, such as corn, potatoes, hay and oats. The cut on page 79 showing agricultural views, common to that portion of the Company's line running be- tween Jacksonville and River Junction, will give prospective settlers an idea of the fertility and adaptability of the soil in this part of the country.

The views heretofore referred to give a perspective of what is being accomplished. The especial attention of prospec- tive settlers is called to the superior advantages to be derived from the tilling of the fertile soil in this region. As a striking example of what is accomplished here it might seem appropriate to state that on a 15-acre farm 930 barrels of Irish potatoes were recently raised and shipped. This is an average of 62 barrels per acre, and this crop sold for $3.20 per barrel. The cost of seed, fer- tilizer and other expenditures in operation of the entire farm was a little over $900, thus netting the farmer about $2,000. The growing of pecans is an important industry in this county. Lake City is a desirable place in which to live and make money, either in manufacturing or farming.

The metropolis of the State. Air. J. I'. Clarkson, a well-known authority, contributes the following: "Jacksonville is the pre-eminent city of Florida. It has one-tenth of the State's pop- ulation. It is situated on the hanks of the ma- jestic St. John's river, which flows north, like the River Nile and the River Amazon. It is the seat of Duval county. On a direct line Jackson- ville is only 17 miles from the Atlantic ocean. The city has a water front of 7 miles and a 24-foot channel to the sea, and appropriations have been made for a 30-foot channel, on which work is now progressing. Coastwise and foreign steamship lines connect this port with numerous important ports along the Atlantic coast and also ports in Europe and other foreign countries. Jacksonville is, moreover, the natural gateway to all of Florida, the West Indies and the logical distributing point for a radius of territory con- taining over two millions of inhabitants. The citizenship of Jacksonville is cosmopolitan, being made up mostly of people of energy, thrift and enterprise, who have migrated to this city from every State in the Union and many foreign coun- tries, and they have availed themselves of the op- portunities that awaited them and that to-day await the newcomer. While its citizenship is di- versified, it is of a high class, comprising chiefly the alert, industrious and up to date. An unde- sirable foreign element is unknown. To the pros- pective investor it is a city of opportunities to be grasped, a city with fulfillment of promises and with as many advantages awaiting the new ar- rival of to-day as awaited those who came ten years ago and have since made fortunes. Jack- sonville has five great railroad systems reaching from the North, the South, the West, the North- west, controlling 16,000 miles of tracks, bringing and forwarding millions of tons of freight each year. The city has a sky line of tall buildings. It is a city of prosperous and happy people ; a city pulsing and throbbing with the activities of finance, building, manufactures and commerce, with broad, well-paved streets, brilliantly lighted ; with great department stores and beautiful and costly residences, splendid churches, schools, hos- pitals, fireproof hotels, powerful and prosperous banking institutions, a community provided with every necessity, convenience and luxury of mod- ern life and every advantage of education and culture and social uplift. While the national gov- ernment has been expending a total of $7,000,000 on the improvement of the St. John's river chan- nel from Jacksonville to the sea, the commerce of the port has been expanding at a phenomenal rate, and though stupendous additions and exten- sions have been made to the dock, terminal and warehouse facilities, they are still inadequate to keep pace with the growth of Jacksonville, and the city has undertaken the construction of mu- nicipally owned docks and terminals at a cost of $1,500,000, to accommodate all vessels on equal terms. An illustration of the determination and enthusiasm with which a progressive community has undertaken this big enterprise is found in the practically unanimous vote by which the bonds were authorized, and the contribution by the SOME OF THE MAIN THOROUGHFARES, JACKSONVILLE, FLA., S.

CITY HALL. 86 Jacksonville Board of Trade of several thousand dollars to pay the expenses of a special session of the State Legislature at which the bill was passed empowering the city to own and operate docks and terminals. These municipally owned docks and terminals will give a great impetus to coastwise and foreign commerce and Jacksonville will soon be placed in a position of still greater importance among the seaports of the world. The corporate limits of Jacksonville include an area of almost ten square miles of land. The city is only thirty minutes' ride from one of the finest beaches on the Atlantic coast. Tempered by ocean and gulf breezes, its mean tempera- ture is 70 degrees, rarely reaching higher than 96 degrees. The average for spring is 71 degrees and for summer 80 degrees, for autumn 71 de- grees and for winter 60 degrees. The average rainfall is 52 inches, mostly in the summer. In placing the population of Jacksonville at the above figures count is taken of the large and flourishing suburban district outside trfe corporate limits, which have not been extended for 24 years. In the assessed valuation of real and per- sonal property the city of Jacksonville has shown a wonderful increase. This increase amounts to upward of 150 per cent, over 1900, and to-day is 70 per cent, greater than in 1910. In banking- circles the city's expansion is truly startling. The gain in banking business has been not only very large, but so regular and steady as to convince the most skeptical of the soundness which under- lies the whole financial, commercial and industrial fabric, and may be accepted as a correct gauge of the measure of progress which is being made. Jacksonville now has sixteen banking institutions ELKS CLUB. JACKSONVILLE. FLA., S. A. L. RV. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CORNERS OF THE CITVS MANY BEAUTIFUL AND WELL-PAVED STREETS.

These banks have a combined capital and surplus exceeding $6,500,000 and hold average deposits of more than $22,000,000. Sound and conservative, yet liberal and loyal to the city and its business interests, theirs is a record of which to be proud, indeed. A conservative estimate for the number of buildings erected will bring the annual average for the past thirteen years up to more than 1. 100 buildings, and still more con- servative calculations would indicate an annual average value of practically $3,000,000. The port records show a tremendous increase in business. The exports are now running nearly double the imports. Among the chief articles of export are phosphate, lumber, naval stores, cotton, grain, provisions, cottonseed oil, fertilizers, fruits, live- stock, cigars and tobacco. Some time ago large tanks for storage of fuel oil for steamers and creosote oil were completed and the Seaboard Air Line Railway's new terminals were placed in op- eration, Jacksonville has the largest shipyard and floating dry dock on the Atlantic coast south of Newport News. The dock handles vessels of 4.500 tons. Both shipyard and dry-dock are continuously congested with the building of new boats and repairs. Industrially Jacksonville has made rapid and permanent advancement during the past decade. Indeed, this city as well as the entire State of Florida has been undergoing reg- ular and substantial growth in manufactures for many years, but it is only recently that this phase of progress has been given due attention. By careful calculation and most conservative esti- mates it is found that Jacksonville has now 175 or more factories and industrial establishments, employing about 4.500 wage earners, not includ- FERNANDINA, FLA.

Figures indicate that the city of Jack- sonville and the State of Florida are undergoing a more rapid industrial growth than the country at large. Electricity for power is furnished by the municipally owned plant much cheaper than in any city in the United States. There exists here every condition of climate, geographical lo- cation and cheap transportation to stimulate prog- ress in almost every line of manufacture." Great pains have been taken to publish good illustra- tions of Jacksonville from its various aspects, not only for the benefit of our readers, but in order to do justice to this great city, at least as far as we are able to do within this limited space. One cut shows street scenes, another shows two of the city's popular clubs, another government and municipal buildings, and still another is a com- posite cut in which are included bird's-eye views of the "Heart of Jacksonville" and the terminals of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, all of which are fine views. One of the terminals photo- graphed is that of the river front, showing the Seaboard Air Line Railway warehouses, while the other shows this company's Hogan street terminals. If the reader, after a careful perusal of this article, will but glance at the magnificent illustrations preceding and those following, de- picting the present marvelous agricultural devel- opment in every direction from Jacksonville, the surrounding lumber and naval stores industries (see illustrations on page 52 of boxed timber, turpentine still and barrels of rosin), togetherwith the numerous other industrial scenes, he cannot help but comprehend this city's wonderful growth. While the aforementioned natural resources con- tribute in a large measure to the prosperity of Jacksonville, it should not be overlooked that the city's development and wealth is due perhaps in equal proportion to the systematic efforts and advertising at the hands of its energetic real estate men individually and to its live Board of Trade, among whom are numbered many of the city's most progressive and influential citizens.

Fernandina, Nassau County. — Population 5,000. Fernandina is an important deep-water port; large vessels arrive at and depart from this port, transporting the precious wealth of the in- terior of this and adjoining States to various parts of the world. Magnificent terminals are owned and operated here by the Seaboard Air Line Railway, this Company possessing immense lumber and naval stores, docks, a large phosphate elevator, and other superior facilities for handling the traffic exchanged between the railway, coast- wise and foreign vessels. The reader's attention is especially called to the photographs of these fine terminals. The Seaboard Air Line Railway is the only railway entering the city of Fernan- dina. It has expended large sums of money in order to improve the natural advantages which it enjoys in common with the inhabitants of this place. The amount of products which passes through this port is enormous. Great quantities of naval stores, as well as millions and millions of feet of rough and dressed lumber are brought from the interior of Florida into this town and turned over to the steamers by the Seaboard Air Line Railway annually. Also millions of tons of phosphate are transported by this railway from the Dunnellon-Inverness and other districts in Florida and exported through Fernandina. We refer to hard-rock phosphate, as the soft-rock phosphate is shipped via the Seaboard Air Line Railway from points on the branch extending out from Plant City and is transported to Tampa for coastwise shipment. No road has the same ad- vantages and facilities for handling all classes of phosphate out of Florida as has the Seaboard Air Line Railway. Fernandina has financial in- stitutions, a fine new hotel capable of taking care of the commercial trade as well as the tourist traffic, which is increasing year by year, since in- formation has been promulgated regarding the city's advantages — climate, comfort, health and pleasure. The fishing industry has added thousands of dollars to Fernandina's wealth, it being one of the largest of its character in south- ern waters. Heretofore bluefish have been 89 S. A. L. RY.

A heavy catch was made. Several other smacks hastened South, and during the past winter twenty-one of the wholesale fish linns in Fulton Market, New York, made extensive preparations on the Sea- board Air Line Railway terminals at this point. There are some 35 large smacks now fishing in these waters. The shipments during November and December were 1,000,000 pounds per month, the products being shipped under refrigeration in solid carloads daily to the northern markets via Seaboard Air Line Railway. THREE-YEAR-OLD PINEAPPLE ORANGE GROVE. FLORIDA. S. A. L. RY. THE NUMEROUS FINE GROVES ARE DEL1GHTFUI SIGHTS TO THE GREAT HORDE OF VISITORS TO FLORIDA FLORIDA By W. A. McRAE, Commissioner of Agriculture The population of Florida at the last census as taken by the United States was 752,619, showing an increase over that of 1900 of about 42 per cent. Its area in square miles, land surface, is 54,861. Area in water, 3,805 square miles. Total, 58,666. The topography of Florida is different in almost every respect from other southern States. It is made up of several geological for- mations, and the soils differ quite as much in their variety, origin and capacity for productiveness. The climate is that of the tropics in the far south with variations to the temperature in the far north and west. About all of the products of the temperate zone, as well as those of the tropics, are grown in some portion of the State, the soils of the several sections herein indicated being adapted to the production of crops usually grown in such localities. The soils on which these products are grown vary from high pine sandy loam lands to the heaviest clay in the northern and western sections, and high and low hammock, also high pine and swamp lands in the central and southern sections of the State. The various kinds of these soils produce in their respective localities the products usually grown in such cli- mates. In the north and west the standard field crops are mostly produced the same as in the Middle States. In the central portion vegetables and fruits, including citrus fruits, are also grown for commercial purposes. In the southern section the great majority of citrus fruits and vegetables for commercial purposes are produced on the various kinds of soils adapted to the purpose. Leguminous crops of all kinds, as far as have been tried, succeed well in every section of the State. All forage crops, which include the sorghums of the Northern and Middle States, do well in all sections of Florida wherever tried, thus insuring and proving that live-stock raising is a successful industry in every portion of Flo- rida. Live-stock and poultry raising are success- fully carried on in every county in the State, with the possible exception of Monroe county, the most southerly in the State. The principal min- erals of Florida are phosphates, fullers earth and kaolin. Florida is also one of the principal naval stores producing States of the Union. There are over a half thousand establishments producing turpentine and rosin in this State with a capital invested of about $15,000,000. There are over 500 saw mills of various kinds, manufacturing pine and other timber into lumber, with a capital invested of some $14,000,000. As a general man- ufacturing State, Florida, while not equal to some in proportion, surpasses many of the older States. The number of manufacturing establishments is over 5,000 with a capital invested of some $75,- 000,000. In these industries there are nearly 00,000 people employed at a total wage of $42,000,000. This includes all kinds of manu- factures. There are hundreds of water powers in all sections of the State lying idle for want of capital to develop them. In brief, it will be seen that Florida offers all the advantages, possi- bilities and opportunities that any person, whether he is a capitalist or simple worker, can desire. An investigation of the country and its advan- tages is at all times solicited. Any information desired concerning the State will be cheerfully supplied on application to the State Department of Agriculture at Tallahassee, Florida. 91 92 ALABAMA SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY CITIES AND TOWNS REPRESENTED BY AGENCIES From Montgomery east to Georgia State Line. Montgomery, MONTGOMERY COUNTY. — Population 52,0:111. The county seat and capital of the Stale. This city is located at almost the exact center of Alabama and is the junction point of six railroads. The strategical situation of Mont- gomery has made it a desirable place for the manufacture and distribution of merchandise and the social conditions are so superior as to have attracted favorable attention throughout the country. It is the western terminus of the Sea- hoard Air Line Railway and has five other trunk mne banks, three live newspapers, several educa- tional institutions, and in fact everything which goes to make a desirable place in which t< > live and do business. The belt line railroad makes it possible for all large shippers u> be within easy access of all the freight warehouses, and trackage facilities are ample. The city is paying $22.50 per annum per arc light, and Montgomery adver- tises without fear of contradiction that it is "the best lighted city of its size in the world." For industrial purposes electric power may be secured under long:-term contracts as low as one and one- THE STATE CAPITOL. ONCE THE CAPITOL OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. MONTGOMERY. ALA., S. A. L.

This means that the annual commerce of the city approxi- mates $50,000,000. Montgomery sells on an average of 25,000 mules every year and manu- factures fertilizers every year approximating $4,000,000. There are in the city seven fertilizer factories, seven cottonseed oil mills, twelve wood- working plants, two large syrup plants, boiler works, shipping" products all over the south, and other industries of a varied character. There are half cents per kilowatt hour. Manufacturers have been impressed with the exceptionally low rates offered by Montgomery for electric power, which is derived by transmission lines from the Tallapoosa river. Capitalists are now developing six giant water power plants in the Montgomery territory. One of the plants will produce 100,000 horsepower. The five plants, all within 75 miles of Montgomery, will produce more than a half million horsepower. Work on these properties is well under way.

The freight rate from the mines is $1.00 per ton. Manufacturers are offered free sites and exemption from municipal taxation for five years. One hundred and sixty-three dif- ferent commodities are manufactured in Mont- gomery. In recent years several large office buildings have been constructed for the con- venience of the ever-increasing number of agen- cies established here to take advantage of Mont- gomery's exceptional location as a point for commercial distribution. One of these fine build- ings and two street scenes form a composite cut which we have printed. The two street views give the reader an idea of the city as a cotton center. Montgomery has, from the beginning of the cotton trade, held a foremost position among the inland cotton centers, and along with the other lines of trade the increase of influence and importance of Montgomery is accentuated most strikingly in the growth of its cotton receipts. During the past five years the receipts at Mont- gomery show an increase of 25 per cent. The average receipts range from 175,000 to 200,000 bales annually, fully 50,000 bales coming in by wagon. In order that the reader may obtain a fair idea of Montgomery a number of halftone engravings in addition to the views referred to above are inserted herein as follows : A modern union passenger station combined with a full- page photograph of Dexter avenue taken from Court square ; farming scenes and duck farm hear the city; Country Club, golf links and the Capital City Country Club; also bird's-eye view. Capital invested in manufacturing or commercial enterprises will unquestionably yield handsome profits in Montgomery. The city has a live and well-equipped commercial organization known as the Business Men's League, which announces that they will be glad to furnish additional informa- tion on this subject; or parties interested may take the matter up with the local representative of the Seaboard Air Line Railway or the Com- pany's General Industrial Department, when fur- ther and more detailed information will be given.

Birmingham, Bessemer, etc., East to State Line. — Bessemer, Woodward, Ensley and Pratt City, all in Jefferson count)', Ala. These cities, together with Birmingham, comprise what is known as the "Birmingham district" and are considered a part and parcel of this metropolis. At the points named are located the greatest iron and steel industries in the South. Ore, coal, limestone and other resources which are so necessary to the manufacture of iron, steel and their sub- products cover a much larger area than the in- dustries themselves. These various plants nat- urally draw an enormous tonnage of raw material to this famous district. Birmingham, Jefferson County. — Popula- tion 185,000. County seat. This city, the great- est of all southern iron and steel manufacturing centers, is pierced by ten railroads, the most im- portant of them all being the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The Chamber of Commerce of this city contributes the following article : "Birmingham, Ala., widely known as 'The City of Pay Rolls,' is the geographical center of the progressive new South. Less than half a century old and grow- ing faster than any other southern city, the pop- ulation in 1910 had reached 132,685, and ac- cording to the 1913 city directory has since in- creased more than 50,000, so it is obvious that the marvelous growth is not of a mushroom va- riety, but its steady substantial increase has barely started. It is peculiarly situated at the very cen- ter of a wonderful district where each element necessary for the making of iron is found in proximity to every other equally necessary ele- ment, which gives it advantages not enjoyed by- other iron-making centers. The leading indus- tries of Birmingham are products of iron and steel, heavy machinery, cast-iron pipe, cement, brick and other clay products, as well as diversi- fied industries of every description, which are increasing at an exceedingly rapid pace, due to the natural advantages and wonderful resources of the district. Nine railroad systems radiate from Birmingham to every section of the coun- try, thus affording unusual transportation facili- ties. There are 99 passenger trains in and out of the city daily. The $2,000,000 terminal station is unsurpassed for convenience and appearance. Birmingham's pay roll is $1,000,000 per week. There are numerous good hotels and boarding- houses in the city, and the tourist who enters the gates of Birmingham will be assured every com- fort of modern life. The business section with its wide streets and sidewalks, lighted by a mod- ern white-way system, is second to none in at- tractiveness. The beautiful shops and the hustle STREET SCEXES. BIRMINGHAM.

Birmingham's residential section is one of the great assets. The beautiful homes built along the mountainside, which are reached by winding roadways, afford views which are not surpassed by the mountains of any land. The climate of Birmingham is devoid of extremes of heat and cold. Short winters and long summers make it possible to engage in outdoor sports practically all the year round. The school facilities of Birmingham are the very best. There are several colleges of high repute, including the medical and dental colleges. There are five high schools and six elementary schools, besides the colleges, which afford educational facilities of the highest order. Twenty parks scattered throughout the city afford recreation for all classes. The city maintains a well-organized playground associa- tion, which is being increased in efficiency. The housing conditions of Birmingham for the work- ingman are being improved from time to time, and in some industrial sections they have already been made ideal. Birmingham is governed by three commissioners, whose motto is efficiency. The installation of motor-driven fire apparatus AGGREGATION OF SKYSCRAPERS WITHIN SMALL RADIUS. BIRMINGHAM. ALA., S. A. L.

Jacksonville, located on a three-mile stem from Tredegar on the main line, is the center of a very large cotton mill in- dustry. It has banks and good schools. Piedmont has a fine cotton mill, banking and educational in- stitutions and an exceedingly progressive citizen- ship. All these towns are surrounded by lands adapted to the growing of cotton, corn and other farm products. The resources are the best of clay, lime, charcoal, high-grade brown ore, barytes, crystallized silica rock and other ore materials, hardwood and other varieties of tim- ber. Among the various industries which it is thought would pay in this section arc: Building brick, fire brick, woodworking establishment, ad- ditional cotton mills, cottonseed oil mills, ferti- lizer factories, iron furnaces, steel plants, paint factory, spoke and handle factories, stave and heading mills. Borden Springs, Cleburn County. — Pop. 300. Es the principal point in the 14-mile territory traversed by the Seaboard Air Line Railway from Piedmont to the bonier line of the State of Georgia. Borden Springs is a fine summer resort, the water from this point having attracted many invalids and has curative qualities unexcelled for liver troubles, many mar- velous cures having been accomplished by its use. The lands in the foregoing section are a continua- tion of the splendid producing region heretofore described. ALABAMA By LEE COWARD, Immigration Commissioner Why is Alabama a good place in which to live and a good place in which to buy land? First, I think land is cheaper in Alabama, in proportion, than in any State of the Union ; second, and of equal importance, living expenses are as cheap as land. The fact about life in Alabama, which most impresses the farmers who come from other States to Alabama, is inexpensive living. There are thousands of these prosperous and contented men in Alabama who have come here from States of the North and West. When asked what pleases them most about Alabama they invariably reply: "Cheapness of living expenses. We can run a farm for a third less in Alabama than we can back home." No man will take issue with the statement that farm labor is at least a third less in Alabama than in Ohio, Iowa or Minne- sota. In fact, it is probably more than a third cheaper. Again, this State is rich in timber resources. Alabama to-day is one of the greatest lumber-producing States east of the Mississippi river. The northern farmer is as much surprised to find lumber so reasonable in price as he is to find farm labor so abundant and cheap. One cause which has contributed to starting the great immigration movement from the North and West to Alabama is this very fact — the burden of living expenses is not so heavy upon the southern farmer as upon the farmer from other sections. Again the industrious farmer, due to the long growing season, which lasts practically all the year round, produces two and three crops from his one piece of land. Thousands of Ala- bama farmers grow garden products and then raise cotton on the same land. They plant four or five acres in potatoes and after gathering that crop raise corn, cotton or oats on the same ground. Live-stock do not have to be taken off the pasture to be sheltered and fed, except from four to six weeks in winter. On the other hand, there are thousands of farmers in Alabama who think it not necessary to firing their cattle into the barns, and many of them claim it is not neces- sary to feed them at all, but depend upon the vitality of the pasture grass throughout the win- ter. Reasonably priced land and low living ex- penses — what more does a farmer want who is looking for a new location? Alabama is the garden spot of the South for the farmer and fruit grower. Its soil is of exceptional fertility, the market conditions are the best and the high- est prices are the rule. Alabama offers the most glowing opportunity to prospective settlers.

The resources are tim- ber, fine soils adapted to the raising of various agricultural products, good clay, etc. There are opportunities for those desiring to purchase trucking lands or to establish brick plants and woodworking plants of various kinds. The great winter garden which supplies the cities of the Northeastern States with the fresh vegetables demanded for consumption during the latter months of winter and those of early spring stretches in a narrow belt along the Atlantic coast from the vicinity of Savannah, Ga., to the southern portion of New Jersey. The existence of this particular belt of territory, favorably situ- ated with respect to intensive vegetable produc- tion, is the result of the concurrent existence of a number of favoring factors. In the first place, the climatic conditions within this belt render its successive portions from south to north earlier in the date of maturity for the different crops than any other regions in the Eastern States which are located in the same latitudes. This arises from the fact that the land area of the region lies at low latitude. The entire coastal section slopes seaward from a line about 75 miles from the coast, with a decline of not more than 2 feet for each mile, until the land surface sinks below the waters of the ocean or of the marginal land-locked waters of the numerous sounds and bays. The presence of tide water, not only along the entire coast, but at frequent intervals within the land area itself, lends an added influence to the favorable and protective climatic surround- ings. These bodies of water lengthen the total growing season by periods which are to be meas- ured by days and weeks, dependent upon the size of the protective water body. They also give a great stability to the annual changes of climate and reduce the tendency toward the occurrence of sharp destructive frosts at an unduly late date in spring or one correspondingly unseasonable in fall or early winter. They serve to lengthen the season over that of areas not protected and to render the succession of seasonable conditions more dependable. The amount of added warmth which is contributed by this factor of local climate cannot be accurately estimated, but it is one of the prominent factors in establishing this great out-of-doors greenhouse. It is probable that ap- proximately 1500 acres of land are devoted to truck and market-garden crops in the vicinity of Savannah. Ga. The chief acreage is devoted COLUMBUS, GA., S. A. L. RY.

The soils suited for trucking and market gardening exist to the extent of 90,000 acres in Chatham county alone, and the facilities for transportation to market in- clude both rail and water transportation. It may be said that there is an excellent opportunity for the development of this class of agriculture, 110L only in that county, but also in other nearby counties of Eastern Georgia. 103 BROAD STREET.

The town is well equipped with financial institutions. The Columbus Board of Trade sends in the following article regarding their splendid city: "Columbus is different from the ordinary city in that, unlike most southern cities of early origin, it was conceived as a city and not as a village. It was laid out by the leg- islature in 1828 when there were plenty of loca- tions for trading posts, and most all of them alike, because transportation facilities were of the crudest sort. But the all-wise legislature said, 'Here is the logical location for a city. For countless centuries it has been recognized by the Indians as a trading point, and what the instinct of the savage has taught is sufficient unto our purposes.' So Columbus was not only deter- mined because of its logical location, but the leg- islature provided for a big city. The main street was made 167 feet wide (see accompanying cut 1 and the other streets and avenues about 100 feet. Provision was also made for church square, civic centers and a public commons. Columbus rose from the civil war devastated but not discour- aged. Here the last battle was fought. Hardly had the smouldering ashes cooled before the peo- ple began rebuilding its city. In addition to the present population of Columbus proper it has another 25,000 in its suburbs, and just across the river in Alabama mill towns dependent upon Columbus' 87 varied industries for support. These industries place Columbus fourth in man- ufacturing in the standing of the cities of the State of Georgia. Ten railroads radiate from the city and two steamboat lines to the Gulf ; besides it is the center of a network of good county roads. The Chattahoochee, which river's falls end at Columbus where navigation on the river begins, has 125,000 horsepower hydraulic force, of which 60,000 horsepower is utilized. Columbus has not only abundant water power and transportation facilities but plenty of intelligent labor, and within 50 miles of the city more than 600,000 prosperous people live. Its schools and churches and society are the best. The laboring people are housed in comfortable homes and with cheap living, good wages and the best schools for their children they are content. Labor troubles are practically unknown here. In raw materials Co- . a < H O o ►7-" ° si < J W & Z Q u t» °- H Sj P ? -> t •J W a « < W a ^ S 5 I 6 o < t- •J g e 5 8 > O z 105 WATER POWER. COLUMBUS.

Americus has splendid financial in- stitutions, several lumber plants and factories manufacturing sash, doors, blinds and other building material ; Seaboard Air Line Railway shops and other machine shops; two cottonseed oil plants ; five fertilizer works ; large monu- mental marble works ; and many other smaller industries. The establishment of additional en- terprises similar to most of the above, as well as various other kinds of manufacturing enterprises, will unquestionably pay, and for further informa- tion on this subject the reader is referred to Americus' Board of Trade, or representatives of the Seaboard Air Line Railway will cheerfully furnish more detailed information. The total value of the crops of Sumpter County is about $5,000,000, of which cotton is half, corn a fifth, hay at least a tenth, cottonseed nearly as much, while sugar cane, tobacco, fruits, vegetables, poultry and live-stock make up the balance. The soil around Americus contains lime ; alfalfa grows luxuriantly and is fed to live-stock as well as being used extensively for fertilization purposes. 109 Fine roads are found in every direction.

The area of the city is four square miles, having plenty of room for additional residences, also business buildings and manufacturing plants. Both will unquestionably pay. The area of Crisp county is 277 square miles. The land is very level, with now and then a slight roll ; sub-soil, red clay ; top soil, a sandy loam. Good roads are in evidence everywhere.

Crisp is one of Georgia's richest coun- ties in agricultural pursuits. Any crop produced in the South may be produced here, such as fine oats and sweet potatoes (.see illustration), as well as the various other farm and garden products. Cotton is the leading industry in this county and grows to perfection. The people are offering every inducement to the truck farmers, land being pur- chased at prices ranging from $10 to $30 per acre, according to location.

Through- out the entire country referred to there are re- sources of various kinds, such as timber, good clay, fertile soils, which are especially adapted to raising the famous Georgia watermelon, fine cot- ton and various other agricultural products. Peaches are cultivated with much profit. Canta- loupes also do well. Farms have been selling be- low their intrinsic value, but this will not be for long, as experienced farmers with much fore- sight are migrating to this land, which is won- derfully endowed by nature. The climate is salubrious and all other conditions are favorable to enjoyable living, as well as money-making. Savannah, Chatham County. — Pop. 75,000. Upon the site of Savannah the colony of Georgia was founded. Savannah is a city with an historic past — a city, therefore, of incentive. Savannah lies in the active progressive present and looks forward confidently to the golden future. Savan- nah is the greatest South Atlantic port, the ocean gateway through which passes the major part of the commerce not only of Georgia but a large portion of the South, the Middle West, and even the great Northwest. Savannah is distinctively a city of commerce. Among some of Savannah's more important commercial and manufacturing enterprises are fifteen financial institutions ; sev- eral ably edited newspapers ; a number of whole- sale establishments handling various classes of goods ; five hotels, popular with tourists and gen- eral traveling" public ; box, barrel, basket and crate factories; several brick kilns; numerous jobbers and dealers ; five candy factories ; three canneries ; five ice factories, having in connection well equipped cold-storage facilities ; cotton mills ; cot- tonseed oil mills ; brewery ; a dozen large fer- tilizer factories and several smaller ones ; five iron, machine and general repair shops ; two dozen lumber buyers and jobbers; fifteen plants manufacturing lumber, sash, doors, blinds, etc.; 115 ii6 live marble works ; three mattress factories , nearly a dozen naval stores, and still more ex- porters ; one dozen dealers in oysters and fish ; more than two dozen produce dealers ; numerous grain, hay and vegetable brokers; a dozen large shippers of meats and provisions ; and many other smaller business establishments. There were 1,306,854 bales of cotton handled through the port of Savannah for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1913. The amount of imported fertilizer material for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, was 198,618 tons. The leading export city of Georgia is Savannah, having developed an export trade of considerable extent. The value of the exports from Savannah were last year more than twice as great as the value of exports from San Francisco. Savannah, with its equable climate, fine roads, picturesque scenery, beautiful resorts and points of historic interest, is a delight to the tourist, the automobilist and the pleasure seeker. On ac- count of the extraordinary good roads around Savannah the city is very popular with automo- bilists, and the enthusiasts of this sport come from various points in this as well as foreign countries, visiting for many weeks, while some of them remain for the entire winter to enjoy this sport and salubrious climate. This is a favorite place for having automobile cup races. Savannah is indeed a beautiful place, having fine streets, numerous adornments in the way of monuments of high-class architecture and various kinds of trees and shrubbery which grow lux- uriantly. The city's banking facilities are unex- celled by any in the South. Its financial institu- tions are strong and progressive, yet conserva- tive. The surrounding country is imperial in agriculture, the products of the soil being the best. All kinds of farming products as well as a large variety of fruits are produced all along the Seaboard Air Line Railway extending west from Savannah to Montgomery and extending south of Savannah along the Atlantic coast of Georgia, as well as throughout the greater part of Florida. The Seaboard Air Line Railway's territory west of Savannah in South Georgia is productive of various kinds of fruits, such as cantaloupes, peaches and watermelons. The wonderful Rockyford cantaloupe is successfully grown, especially at Albany and contiguous points. The famous Elberta peach is cultivated with great profit and as produced throughout this section is an exceedingly luscious fruit. The world-renowned Georgia watermelon attains per- fection in South Georgia in the territory of the Seaboard Air Line Railway west of Savannah. Whether it is on account of the climate or the soil, or both, it can be truthfully said that this fruit as produced in this part of the State is de- licious. The excellent fruits, superior vegetables, fine cotton and other farm products which orig- inate at points in Georgia on the Seaboard Air Line Railway and which pass through Savannah destined to various centers for distribution to the people is enormous. Of course, the city's local 117 STREET SCENE. CEDARTOWN, GA., S. A. L. RY. consumption of agricultural products, as the reader must know, is quite large. This conclu- sion must also apply to the consumption of raw materials from the interior. The exportation of raw materials and manufactured products from the port of Savannah is tremendous. That por- tion of the traffic of the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way from the territory heretofore mentioned as- sumes enormous proportions, especially in cotton, lumber and naval stores. A composite cut fea- tured on one of these pages shows views of property owned by the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way on Hutchinson Island at Savannah. This is the most perfectly equipped terminal, both as to berth room for vessels and for storage facili- ties for import and export cargoes, on the South Atlantic coast. In addition this terminal is equipped with every modern facility for the prompt and economical handling of package freight moving to and from the port of Savannah. This company also maintains at Savannah ample team, track and yard facilities for the receipt and discharge of solid carload shipments moving into and from Savannah. The barrels on the naval stores dock in the cut referred to above cover an area of 20 acres and number 70,000. Figuring on a conservative average price of about $8 per barrel the value of this display is in ex- cess of $500,000. The naval stores facilities pos- sessed by the Seaboard Air Line Railway at Savannah for handling the rosin and turpentine shipped from the interior are unsurpassed by any railway in the South. The illustrations published herein of the union passenger station and other scenes give an idea of the city from a business as well as a scenic standpoint, which, combined with the existing climatic conditions, make it an ideal city in every respect. Rincon. — Pop. 200. Stillwell. — Pop. 200. Clyo. — Pop. 300. All in Effingham county. These are the principal towns on the Seaboard Air Line Railway from Savan- nah northward to the Georgia-South Carolina dividing line. In this territory of about a dozen miles enormous quantities of watermelons are raised; also other fruits, vegetables, cotton, hay and grain. Across North Georgia, from Alabama to South Carolina. Esom, Polk County. — Popu- lation 200. Sixty-nine miles west of Atlanta. This is the first station in Georgia on the Ala- bama division of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, running in an easterly direction through the northern part of the State. Cedartown, Polk County. — Pop. 6,000. Sixty miles west of At- lanta. The illustration inserted here shows the main thoroughfare of this city with a number of its fine buildings. Cedartown is not only an at- tractive city from a scenic standpoint, but it should prove exceedingly interesting to settlers looking for a desirable location in which to con- duct most any kind of manufacturing or com- mercial enterprise. Sites are easily obtained, rents are reasonable, taxes low and climatic con- ditions favorable. The advice we have received from some of the substantial business men is to the effect that any information or assistance pos- sible looking to the establishment of new enter- prises will be cheerfully given. The city is con- veniently located near the Birmingham iron dis- trict and within easy access of the jobbing facili- ties offered by Atlanta. The town is surrounded with magnificent farming lands producing high- grade cotton and various other farm products. SCENE AT THE BARTOW COUNTY FAIR. CARTERSVILLE. GA., S. A. L. RY.

Cartersville has all necessary financial institutions to take care of the needs of the peo- ple and has good educational facilities. The city has an altitude of 8oo feet, is healthy, has good water and other advantages. There is no section in North Georgia having a greater diver- sity of mineral deposits. Ochre is found here in quantities. Iron ore is found in abundance, not only in this vicinity, but more or less east of this point to Atlanta, and the country all the way from here to Birmingham along the Seaboard Air Line Railway is dotted here and there with iron deposits. Other minerals shipped are beauxite, crude graphite, cement, lime and some gold. The inhabitants of Bartow county are very proud of this portion of Georgia and their county STATE CAPITOL.

Rockmart has a large cement manufacturing" plant ; two enterprising banks ; live newspaper ; brick kiln; quarry; three saw-mills; two plants manufacturing" dressed lumber, window frames, sash, doors, blinds and shingles ; and a number of smaller industries. The Board of Trade is anxious to interest investors in the establishment of wholesale grocery, cotton mill, fertilizer fac- tory and additional plants for manufacturing brick, as there is an abundance of shale in this section. Slate is also found here in abundance. The surrounding agricultural section is good and the farmers will find this an attractive feature to investigate. Thomas. — Pop. 100. Dallas. — Pop. 1,400.

Good loca- tions for those desiring to engage in trucking, as enormous amounts of vegetables are consumed by Atlanta, to say nothing of the fine facilities offered for the transportation of perishables to eastern markets. Atlanta, Fulton County. — Population 190,- 000. County seat. Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, and the phenomenal stride made by this city in connection with the wonderful progress of the entire State has focused the attention of the eyes of the manufacturing, commercial and investing world upon this section of the South. Atlanta, without a doubt, has a greater variety of industries than any other city in the South. Intensely interesting is the history of this city. When these progressive people looked with tear- ful eyes upon the charred and blackened debris of their beloved city their thoughts were soi-11- brous ; but not for long, for in the mighty abyss of woe they saw a single but sufficient ray of hope — that unison of spirit which has always been prevalent here. They prophesied and after- wards executed through united efforts the up- building of a great metropolis, as evidenced by the Atlanta of to-day.

There are located here agencies for practically all the automobile manu- facturers in the country. This city also has sev- eral agricultural implement works ; eight candy and syrup factories ; two coffin factories ; four cotton mills, knitting mill ; seven cottonseed oil mills ; a great many electrical establishments ; more than a dozen fertilizer factories ; thirteen foundries and machine shops; three iron and steel plants; one-half dozen furniture factories; iron bed factory; half dozen ice factories; sev- eral cold-storage plants ; a half dozen plants manufacturing lumber and building material; a dozen marble works ; nine mattress and bed spring factories ; numerous paper-making fac- tories ; shoe factory ; two soap factories ; stove works ; three cigar and cigarette factories ; a large number of wholesale and jobbing establish- ments ; and hundreds of other industries too nu- merous to mention. Atlanta is a great mule trading center, more of these animals being im- ported and distributed from this point than from any other section in the South. As a jobbing and wholesale distributing center Atlanta is of won- derful importance. The magnitude of the city's varied interests is so large that it would be quite impossible to do this city justice within a limited space. A book could be written regarding At- lanta and still there would be more to tell. W. H. Leahy, a well-known authority on industrial subjects and Industrial Secretary of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, contributes the following : "Atlanta has an area of 26% square miles. The city is located six miles from the Chattahoochee river, from which the water supply of the city is drawn and used after being carried through a modern filtering plant and is very healthful water. The altitude of Atlanta is 1,050 feet above the sea level. The city occupies a commanding site on the crest of the ridge that divides the water- shed of the South Atlantic coast from that of the Gulf of Mexico. A glance at the map will indi- cate that Atlanta is so geographically located as to make it a natural distributing point for the southeastern territory, considering such territory as bound on the north by the Ohio and Potomac and on the west by the Mississippi rivers. At- lanta possesses the advantage of water power TYPICAL SCENES IX GEORGIA, S. A. L. RY. I. SALES DAY AT UNION STOCK YARDS, ATLANTA. 2.

Atlanta has more than 550 diversi- fied manufacturing interests and a climate un- surpassed in the United States. The healthful- ness of the city is one of the chief factors which should attract settlers. Fourteen railroads radi- ate from the city of Atlanta like spokes in a wheel, and 137 passenger trains operate into and out of the city daily. The terminal facilities of the railroads are excellent and the Chamber of Commerce is in possession of full data with re- spect to available factory and general business sites on and near the terminals of the railroads and elsewhere. Atlanta being in the center of the southeastern territory offers an equalization of freight rates, thus providing another attraction for business locations. Facilities for local transit in the city include 199 miles of modern street 4§ ; IjadP *«- it FREIGHT DEPOT OF THE S. A. L. RY., ATLANTA, GA. 123 .-^J SOME OF THE BUSY STREETS IN ATLANTA, GA., S. A.

This system reaches in every di- rection beyond the city limits and extends into some places eight and nine miles, touching the various manufacturing centers, the largest of which are located in the outlying districts. The school system is considered the finest in the South. There is also located in the city of At- lanta a school of technology where 900 young men are now receiving training in technical work. Many large and commodious office buildings are located in Atlanta, while many more are being projected. The rapidity with which these build- ings fill up with offices of representatives of local and outside business enterprises has been a source of wonder to many, but Atlanta is exceed- ingly desirable as a business center and a point of distribution for general business throughout the South. The Industrial and Statistical Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce is in pos- session of data from which to reply to all in- quiries regarding the commercial, industrial, so- cial, educational, climatic and other conditions of the city. Atlanta welcomes all good citizens and business enterprises." Howells Transfer, Ful- ton County, four miles from center of Atlanta, is a part of the latter city, and at this point the Seaboard Air Line Railway exchanges a large amount of traffic with six railway connections. Montreal. — Pop. 200. Fifteen miles east of At- lanta. Tucker. — Pop. 300. Eighteen miles east of Atlanta. Both in DeKalb county.

Athens is a great cotton market, the fleecy staple being handled here on an enormous scale by factors through whom it is marketed. The scene on opposite page entitled "Grading Cotton, Athens, Ga., is a fair sample of the largest scale on which this valuable product is handled in the warehouses here and shipped to spinners in this and other countries. This city consumes many thousands of bales per annum for the purpose of manufacturing cloths, yarns and other cotton goods. Athens has sev- eral cotton mills, several banks, two ice factories, cold storage, wagon and buggy factory, two cot- tonseed oil mills, two fertilizer factories, grist mill, foundry and machine shop, planing mills, sash, door and blind factories, two marble works, two mattress factories, two live newspapers, pot- terv, numerous small industries, as well as whole- sale grocers, dry-goods and hardware establish- ments, with opportunities for more.

This com- pletes the description of the cities and towns in North Georgia on the Seaboard Air Line Rail- GEORGIA By DAN G. HUGHES, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture Georgia, the largest State east of the Missis- sippi, has a wide range of altitude and climate and an unusual diversity of soil types. Between the mountains and the ocean the principal staple crops of the entire United States are somewhat successfully grown on a commercial scale. Wheat has always been grown to advantage in the northern and middle sections; corn is one of the principal crops throughout the entire State, the yield of the past year being estimated at 72,- 000,000 bushels; tobacco, rice and sugar cane are profitably grown in the southern part of the State ; the production of cotton in Georgia last year was near 2,500,000 bales, valued with the seed at approximately $175,000,000. The major portion of the long staple cotton crop of the country is produced in Georgia ; oats, water- melons, rye, potatoes and all the vegetables in common use also succeed well. The northern section of the State is becoming a heavy pro- ducer of high-grade apples grown in commercial orchards and the industry promises to be one of the State's most important interests. There are two zones in which commercial peach orchards have long been operated at a profit, the annual shipments ranging around 5.000 cars. Pecan growing is attaining large proportions in the southern part of Georgia, many thousand acres of nut trees coming into bearing each year. The legumes, crops which are the foundation of mod- ern agriculture, range in Georgia from alfalfa and the clovers to the cowpea, soy bean and 128 velvet bean, all of which are successfully and profitably grown, each in the section and upon the soil to which it is peculiarly adapted. The State's most apparent deficiencies are in dairying, cattle raising, poultry and hog raising. Profit- able opportunities for each of these lines may be found throughout the entire State. In the south- ern part of Georgia there arc thousands of acres of cutover lands that when cleared of timber and stumps are ideal for modern machine farming. Several drainage projects are under way in this section which will add to the value of much land now lying idle. This section is also well adapted to trucking for the eastern markets and there is a considerable industry along that line already established. The products of South Georgia truck farms come into market between those of Florida and the more northerly truck belts. Georgia's population is well divided between rural and urban and the numerous cities and towns afford good markets for farm products of all sorts. In this respect it has the advantage of other southern States. According to the last census there are 2Q 1,000 farms in Georgia and abundant room for several times that many more. The State pays much attention to agricultural education, having twelve district agricultural schools and a State institution of high rank. The public school system is good and is supple- mented by State, private and denominational schools and colleges. The industrial resources of Georgia are almost as varied as the agricul- tural. In the upper section are great marble fields which are worked in many quarries that supply building marble for the most pretentious structures in the land. The granite industry is also large and important, giving employment to several thousand people at various quarries. Georgia marble and Georgia granite are as famous in the building material field as the Georgia peach and the Georgia watermelon are in the line of delectable food products. The mineral resources of the mountain region are valuable and extensive, but not so well developed as the marble and granite. Gold, coal, bauxite, asbestos, iron, kaolin and other minerals are all produced on a commercial scale. The hardwood timber resources of the State are being vigorously developed and are rich and important. For years the State has been a leading producer of yellow pine lumber and still remains an important factor in that field. The woodworking, naval stores and wood turpentine industries are wealth-pro- ducing industries in the State to-day. Georgia stands well as a manufacturing State, having large interests in cotton and wool textile, cotton- seed products, cement and lime, brick, terra cotta, sewer pipe, drain tile and roofing tile plants. The cities have much diversified manufacture in small plants that employ in the aggregate thou- sands of operatives. Hydro-electric plants at various points supply cheap power that is trans- mitted for long distances and is having an im- portant bearing on the increase of manufacture industry. A list of products manufactured in the State would include most articles that enter into general trade. THIS IS THE WAY CORN GROWS IN SOUTH GEORGIA ALONG THE S. A. L.

All these towns are comprised within a territory of 52 miles from Denmark to Columbia. This is an exceptionally fine country and well worth the attention of the capitalist and laborer. Farmers arc able to grow almost any agricultural product in this territory. Cotton, corn, hay and vegetables all thrive here. Enor- mous quantities of cotton are shipped from this territory as well as from the other points previ- 130 ously described. It is thought that cottonseed oil mills will pay at Hix and North, as great quantities of cottonseed are available. Oppor- tunities exist at the latter for investments in box, barrel, basket and crate factories, as more than 200 cars of lumber manufactured for this pur- pose are shipped away annually. Swansea has a factory making vegetable packages, barrels, etc., and as there is considerable timber adapted to the purpose it is thought that a plant manu- facturing furniture, chairs especially, will pay. Labor is cheap and water supply abundant. Columbia, Richland County. — Population 57,000. This is the capital and the State's great- est metropolis.

Columbia has an excellent system of public schools, a large number of commercial establishments and factories, ample water supply of good quality, and is surrounded by a wonder- fully fertile and productive country especially adapted to the cultivation of cotton, corn, tobacco and general agricultural products. There are six mills operating over 250,000 spindles. Among other large industries are big machinery plants, large fertilizer factories, lumber mills, absorbent I cotton factories, etc., there being in all some 57 1! manufacturing plants within the city. Within a short distance of Columbia are millions of feet of hardwood timber easily accessible, thus making from the city, on the Broad river, is located a new electric power plant, the power being brought to Columbia on transmission lines. The present capacity of this plant is 18,000 horse- power, while provision has been made for in- creasing this to 27,000 horsepower as soon as the demand warrants. Columbia is a city of beautiful homes and wide, spacious, well-paved streets lined with beautiful shade trees. It is laid out with checker-board regularity, and an efficient street car system adequately covers the city and suburbs. Columbia is a live, up-to-date growing town, and any industry locating here now or in the near future will, naturally, reap the benefit that the increased growth of the town will 131 13- TRAIN LOAD OF ROUGH STONE FROM QUARRIES NEAR CASEY.

Perhaps no better testimonial to the growth and prosperity of the city of Colum- bia could be found than in its fine and commo- dious hotels and its tall and imposing office build- ings. The central location of this city, the indus- trious and progressive spirit of its citizens as individuals, and its Chamber of Commerce and other organizations as representative bodies, to- gether with the remarkably fertile and resource- ful territory surrounding it, combine to make Columbia an attractive point for the location of commercial and manufacturing establishments, while its climate and general health conditions as well as its natural beauty make it a desirable place of residence.

Great Falls is 21 miles from Spence and is the location of a large cotton mill. The large power plants at Great Falls and Rocky Creek are operated in conjunction, delivering ap- proximately 130,000 horsepower. This power is used by flour mills, cottonseed oil mills, ginneries, fertilizer plants and various other plants; 160 cotton mills are served with the power generated here and 35 cities and towns are supplied. The water power here is deemed of sufficient im- portance to justify featuring on these pages. It is a magnificent sight, remarkable for the power generated and the great possibilities for future use in the line of manufacture. Manufacturers should not overlook the advantages to be found here and at other points on the Seaboard Air Line Railway similarly endowed. Fort Lawn is ac- cessible to the above water power and, like Great Falls, is a magnificent point for the location of manufacturing enterprises. Catawba, York County. — Pop. 200.

SOUTH CAROLINA By E. J. WATSON, Commissioner of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries South Carolina in the matter of material de- velopment throughout the past year has made remarkable progress. All of the figures show- ing the development in agriculture and in- dustrial enterprises are not yet available, but pre- liminary figures of the State Department of Agriculture, including such federal figures as are available, are sufficient to warrant this statement. Agriculture is, of course, the leading industry of the State, overshadowing all others combined. The value of all agricultural products of the State jumped in the last census decade from $51,- 324,000 to $141,983,000. Last year the value of the corn, cotton, tobacco, wheat, oats, hay and potato crops alone — just seven, without consid- ering rice, fruits or anything else embraced in the above decade totals — aggregated $154.- 518,119, as against $123,219,043 for the same crops in 1912 and $111,137,889 (census) in 1910. The corn crop last year was 4,566,000 bushels greater than the previous year, the average yield per acre having reached 20 bushels, which is within two bushels of the average for the United States, representing an increase of $10,484,880. The tobacco crop in 1913 was 8,962,000 pounds greater than that of 191 2, for which the growers received $4,584,339, or $1,930,896 increase over previous year. Last year 245,000 more bushels of wheat were produced than the previous year, showing the tendency to raise food supplies at home, and this represents an increase of $101,400. The cotton crop of last year was the second largest the State has ever raised, was best in quality ever marketed, and in round figures was worth $100,000,000. The gross income to the people from agriculture last year may be conser- vatively said to have been approximately $160.- 000,000, or more than three times what it was in 1900. This is without regard to the live-stock industry, which is also increasing steadily and rapidly. The other chief economic phase of South Carolina's industry is manufacturing, which is be- ginning to challenge agriculture. In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the value of manufactured products jumped from $53,336,000 — exceeding agriculture at that time — to $1 13.236,000. In 1912 the manufactured products jumped to $124,544,- 080. Last year was a prolific one in all branches of industry, the value of the manufactured prod- ucts of all industries being $141,157,302. The principal item in the State's manufacturing in- 136 dustry is the textiles. The textile plants in money value turned out last year goods almost to the value of the cotton crop of the State and nearly to the amount of the capital employed. There has been an increase of $4,998,092 in cap- ital invested in one year. The increase in value of annual product at the midseason census was $5,239,513, while the final figures show an in- crease in this regard of $11,283,072. The value of the product is $84,785,152, and the capital in- vested is $88,767,738. Water power develop- ments upon a large scale are progressing rapidly and electric-driven interurban lines are being built and are getting into operation. In the towns and cities diversified small industries are starting up one after another — modern steel frame buildings are being built, transportation facilities are being augmented, values of farm and urban property are increasing steadily and substantially, banking is in a health)' condition and the State's commerce is developing. Prepara- tions are being made with a view of making the most of the opportunities to be afforded by the opening of the Panama Canal through our own ports, notably Charleston, and upon all construc- tive lines of endeavor the commonwealth is mov- ing forward with the steady stride that is charac- terizing the development of agriculture. This brief resume of the record of the past year in plain figures reveals more forcefully than any other description the splendid opportunities in this State that now await the man who is seeking a home or looking for sound investment of capital. SOLID TRAIN LOAD OF LOGS, WILMINGTON. N. C, S. A. L. RY. NORTH CAROLINA SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY CITIES AND TOWNS REPRESENTED BY AGENCIES Wilmington, Hanover County. — Population 30,000. County seat. Wilmington is the largest commercial city in North Carolina and is located at the head of the Cape Fear ocean gateway with 400 miles of island navigation and six railroads extending in all directions, making this port one of the most desirable distributing points on the South Atlantic coast. Wilmington is situated at the junction of two large rivers along .which millions of feet of black, sweet and tupelo gum, pine and hardwood grow. The wood is being used for furniture, columns, boxes, handles and other general purposes. Wilmington is among the foremost of the Atlantic seaports. It is chiefly noted as a wholesale and banking center. This city has shown material progress in the erection of business buildings and residences during the past year, permits having been issued for about 500 dwellings and business houses, which in- clude the new union station, large cold-storage plant, magnificent new bank building, Young Men's Christian Association building, Cape Fear Club and other large structures. This section has a wonderful climate, having neither extreme heat nor extreme cold. Average temperature, 72 degrees ; average winter temperature, 48 de- grees. The average rainfall is 5i 5 / 100 inches; average annual clear days, 132. The excellent climatic conditions largely contribute to abundant crops, the custom of growing two and three crops a year on the same land being very general. The productiveness of the soil and unequalled oppor- tunities for trucking are attracting settlers from all parts of the country. The Chamber of Com- merce writes as follows: "Wilmington has better freight rates than any city in the State. Sur- passes all other North Carolina cities in distribu- ting advantages for the manufacturer and whole- saler. There is a belt line around the city reach- ing many desirable manufacturing sites, which may be secured at reasonable cost. As a deep water port it serves as a gateway for a large territory. This city has made splendid progress during the past five years, particularly noticeable in the many municipal improvements, which ag- gregate an expenditure of over $1,000,000. It has also gone forward with rapid strides in build- ing operations, which amounted to more than $1,000,000 last year. There are about 50 whole- sale houses located here and the business through this port by these concerns last year is estimated at $70,000,000. As a banking center Wilmington 137 WILMINGTON, N. C, S.

Wilming- ton has been recognized for many years as the fourth port in the United States in the exports of cotton, about 317,831 bales of cotton being exported last year. There were imported in 191 3 through Wilmington about 183.499 tons of fer- tilizer materials for use in the manufacture of fertilizer, and for the same period there were shipped from this point about 263,000 tons of this manufactured product. The Cape Fear river has 26 feet of mean low water from Wilmington to the ocean. We have at present, eleven large terminals which emphasizes its importance as a distributing point. Large cargoes from foreign markets are discharged at these terminals, which supply the demand from the interior. Wilming- ton has in addition to its splendid financial and educational facilities, several wholesale establish- ments, fertilizer factories, cotton mills, wood- working plants, compresses, large lumber plants and numerous other industries, all prosperous. The city welcomes investments in the way of new enterprises and will meet all well-meaning pros- pective settlers with open arms. Wilmington offers large inducements to the manufacturer and investor. There is an abundance of common la- bor to be secured here and manufacturers will do well to consider the many advantages this city offers in deciding upon a location for a factory. Wilmington's advantages as North Carolina's only deep-water seaport and its relative impor- tance to the Panama Canal has recently caused it to be recognized with greater significance than ever before. The distance from Wilmington to Colon, Panama, by steamer route is only 1,552 miles. Large water front storage warehouses have been provided during the past three years, enabling this port to become the distributing cen- ter for a large territory." In this city are located a number of large water front terminals of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, the erection of which marked a new era in the development of this port.

At Clarkton enor- mous quantities of strawberries are grown suc- cessfully and marketed with much profit. At a number of other points in each direction from here along the Seaboard Air Line Railway these and the other varieties of berries and melons are raised quite extensively. Clarkton and Bladen- boro have banks. The latter has fine cotton mills. Lumber business is carried on to considerable ex- tent in the above section. Special attention of mi 140 parties desiring to follow the trucking business is directed to the fertility of the soil in this part of the State. Lumberton, Robeson County. — Fop. 2,500.

Charlotte, Mecklenburg County'. — Popula- tion 50,000. County seat. The city of Charlotte is the center of the largest textile industry in the United States. The number of cotton mills in a circle of 100 miles of Charlotte is 435, operating 1,225,000 spindles. The raw material is drawn from every direction throughout the cotton belt, but a large portion of the cotton consumed is grown in this part of Xorth Carolina. Char- lotte has splendid transportation facilities through the Seaboard Air Line Railway and its connec- tions. The city is penetrated by four railroad lines. Among some of the most important indus- tries are the following: 25 cotton factories, em- ploying 12,000 people; 15 clothing factories; cot- tonseed oil mills ; fertilizer works ; carding cloth ; reed and harness factories ; mattress factories ; several lumber plants ; ice factories ; plow and agricultural implement factories ; sash, door and blind factories ; cigar factories and numerous other enterprises. There are more than a dozen banks located in Charlotte and in this respect it is well provided. Within 50 miles of Charlotte are located four enormous hydro-electric plants, which generate a total of about 225,000 horse- power. This power not only supplies Charlotte but a number of other important cities throughout Xorth Carolina and adjoining States. The views depicted in the summary showing horsepower plants at Great Falls and Rocky Creek represent a large proportion of this wonderful resource. Additional views are shown of Charlotte, South Tryon street and Manufacturers' Club on one of these pages. On another page is shown a cut under the title of "One of the Many Fine Cotton Mills at Charlotte." The city has newsy and well-edited newspapers.

From this town the Seaboard Air Line Railway diverges in four directions, one line covering its territory to Norfolk, Richmond and intermediate points ; one running along the southern border of North Carolina to Wilmington : lines spreading along the southeastern border of the same State to Rutherfordton, and via Monroe and through South Carolina to Georgia points, including At- lanta, thence on through Alabama as far as Birmingham; then from this portion of the State of North Carolina through South Carolina into Georgia, where it again spreads at Savannah with lines running on through south Georgia and Alabama to Montgomery and Savannah to Jack- sonville and other Florida points. Because of the railway facilities offered, the accessibility of raw materials, the water power nearby, and for other obvious reasons, Hamlet should prove an exceed- ingly attractive point to manufacturers and those desiring to engage in commercial pursuits, such as wholesale houses handling every branch of business patronized by the trade. The view of the water power referred to is very realistic to those awakened to the potentialities of this re- source. This town has banking facilities, good schools, several commercial establishments, but more will perhaps pay, as this is a fine trading center. Cognac. — Pop. 100. Hoffman. — Pop. 200.

On the subject of climate, Dr. John Warren Achorn says: "It has often been re- marked upon that the milk buttles in the Sand Hills are of an irridescent lavender color. It is explained that they are made of ordinary white glass, but that on exposure on doorsteps or dry- ing shelves they soon take on this beautiful color. This is due to actinism, that quality in the sun's rays by which chemical changes are produced. XORTH CAROLINA VIXEYARD. S. A. L. RY.

There are banks located at Pittsboro, Merry Oaks, Apex and Cary. Pitts- boro has the following industries: Cotton and hosiery mills, cottonseed oil mill, fertilizer fac- tory, flour mill, handle factory and newspaper. Moncure has roller mill. Merry Oaks has two lumber plants. Apex and Cary are prominent lumber shipping points. In this section great quantities of tobacco are raised and shipped. In the Apex market there were sold 2,107.538 pounds of tobacco during the past season, netting the growers in the neighborhood of 8550,000, the disbursements of this immense sum contri- buting considerable affluence to this part of the State. It would be difficult for settlers to find a more desirable location in which to live and estab- lish new enterprises, such as woodworking plants, tobacco factories, cotton mills, canneries, etc., as this is a healthy section and an abundance of raw material of the above character is at hand to sup- ply these industries. Raleigh, Wake County. — Population 30,000. The county seat. This city is the capital of the State of North Carolina and one of the most im- portant cities on the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The Chamber of Commerce sends in the follow- ing: "Raleigh, founded in 1792, is naturally the political center of the State as well as the geo- graphical center. The city contains many points of general interest, including the State buildings and institutions. This city has an area of four square miles and is situated in about the center of North Carolina in the midst of a gently rolling section of fertile country populated by prosperous farmers. Within a radius of 75 miles Raleigh has a population of over 830,000. Elevation 363 feet above sea level. The city enjoys the average year round temperature of 60 degrees. Tourists find its winters mild and pleasant for outdoor pleasures. The eighteen-hole golf course of the ideally situated Country Club is available to tour- ists throughout the year. Good automobile roads in all directions make the city easily accessible to the rural districts. Raleigh has a remarkably salubrious climate. The principal manufactured products of this section are cotton, wool and wood. Raleigh has three cotton mills, two knit- ting mills, one overall factory, two fertilizer fac- tories, one cottonseed oil mill, one flour mill, sev- eral woodworking plants where office furniture and bank fixtures are manufactured.

The health of its inhabitants is not exceeded any- where, and ample lands are available for new settlers. Lands may be bought for $40 per acre. Henderson has splendid banking and educational facilities, churches and a happy, hustling people. This city is 44 miles north of Raleigh, the capital, 113 miles south of Richmond and 131 miles from Norfolk. As before stated, the Seaboard Air Line Railway has a line extending from here to Durham, 41 miles distant. It would be hard to find a better point for the location of industries and commercial establishments. Greystone. — Pop. 300. Middleburg. — Pop. 200. Both in Vance county. Manson. — Pop. 200.

Greystone has a large quarry, so also has Middle- burg. Other resources in the territory named are fertile lands producing tobacco, corn, cotton and various fruits. Norlina is the point where the Seaboard's two main lines from Richmond and Norfolk converge. Norlina is 9S miles south of Richmond and uf> miles southwest of Norfolk. This town has bank, good schools and several lumber plants. On account of favorable railroad facilities this point is a splendid location for enterprises manufacturing various kinds of products which may be drawn from both the States of North Carolina and Virginia, Norlina shipments from these towns consist principally of lumber, tobacco, cotton, corn and other farm products. These are the principal stations among a number of valuable points between Durham and Henderson, covering 41 miles of lands gently rolling and possessing wonderful fertility of soil. Those wishing to engage in the cultivation or manufacture of tobacco, as well as other avo- cations along the farming and manufacturing lines will not go amiss in making a thorough in- vestigation of the opportunities of this section before investing elsewhere. Creedmoor and Ox- ford have two banks each, also several lumber plants. There is a cotton mill at Oxford, also three buggy factories. Henderson, Vance County. — Pop. 10,000. The county seat.

Littleton has two banks, two lumber mills, female college and schools. Re- sources of the section covered by the above-named towns are timber and fertile soil producing fine tobacco and cotton, also berries and other fruits ami general farm products. Splendid opportuni- ties exist here for the outlay of capital which will prove exceedingly remunerative, as water power and raw materials are abundant. The town of Roanoke Rapids has a plant developing 15,000 horsepower, and there are already in operation two cotton mills manufacturing the finest class of women's dress goods; one mill manufacturing table damask of the finest quality, which has the entire world for its market ; paper mill, manu- facturing all classes of wrapping paper; and a pulpboard mill. All of these industries mentioned are running on full time and in a most flourishing condition. Other manufacturing plants are in- vited, as there is ample room for new industries.

GRAHAM, Commissioner of Agriculture North Carolina is an agricultural State, al- though she has increased in the past ten years in manufacturing interests over 800 per cent, and ranks third in the number of spindles — Massa- chusetts and South Carolina alone exceeding her — and her mills consume more cotton than is pro- duced in the State; yet more than four-fifths of her population are engaged in agriculture. Lying largely on the great undulating plain, sloping from the mountains to the sea and from the greatest elevation east of the Rockies down to the coastal plain but little elevated above the sea-level, North Carolina greets the rising sun, and her climate varies according to the eleva- tion. East of the great escarpment of the Blue Ridge we reach the undulating region of the Piedmont country which is divided into upper and lower Piedmont by a range of hills a hundred or so miles east of the Blue Ridge and furnishing the falls of the rivers with wonder- ful water power. This section lies in a series of rolling uplands, intersected by r the rivers with their fertile bottom land, and rising from 7 to 1,500 feet elevation at the foot of the Blue Ridge. The lower Piedmont has a milder climate than the upper ; the upper is far warmer in the winter than the mountain region between the Blue Ridge and the great Smokies. As we reach the lower coast we have the first touch of the Floridian vegetation in the cabbage palms. This wide-stretching area from the white pine to the palms shows the wonderful variety of the climate of the State. The abundant food crops of the Piedmont section offer the greatest op- portunities for the winter feeding: of cattle.

Over a large section of the Piedmont and coastal regions the cotton crop has long been the chief interest of the farmers, and when carefully grown no money crop can equal it for average ONE OF THE MANY FINE COTTON MILLS IN NORTH CAROLINA ON THE S.

But there is an awakening to the im- portance of general farming and farmers have realized the importance of a goo 1 rotation of crops; that other crops can be grown with profit, and that through the aid of these crops and the cow-pea they can grow cotton with an increased yield per acre. The last year's crop was about 800,000 bales which, with the seed, is valued at $65,000,000. In mjio, [911 and [912 North Carolina ranked first in cotton produced to the acre — 315 pounds in \<)\2. There is no crop grown that draws so lightly on the fertility of the soil as cotton and when the seed is prop- erly applied to the feeding of cattle and the manure returned to the soil in a good rotation of crops there is no crop with which the land can be more rapidly improved. North Carolina ranks third in the production of tobacco. "Bright tobacco" counties, generally along the Virginia border, have cultivated tobacco from the earliest settlement of the State. Since the war many of the eastern counties have profitably engaged in tobacco raising. Last vear's crop was alxnit $30,000,000. A yellow clay sub-soil indicates a tobacco soil. The greatest development in the cultivation of the soil is in the coastal plain where large areas are devoted to early vegetables for the northern markets, and the growing of strawberries and other small fruits. The Board of Agriculture, on one of its test farms, realized one season $1,500 from the lettuce produced on one and a quarter acres, and the past season $640 from half an acre. The red clays of the upland are the best wheat soils and are identical with what is known in geology of the country as cecil clay. All the rolling uplands of the Piedmont section are adapted to wheat growing, clover and the feeding of cattle. No crop is more profitable and certain than winter oats, which frequently yield from 60 to 75 bushels per acre. Corn grows well in all sections of the State. We can grow as heavy crops all over the Piedmont and coast regions as are grown anywhere. The corn crop has increased from 34,000,000 in 1910 to 55,327,000 bushels, and while the average production per acre for the United States has decreased from 29 to 23 bushels North Carolina has risen from T3 to 20 bushels. The scant)' crops to be seen in various sections are due not to the lack of capacity in the soil for the production of corn but to the careless mode of cultivation. A "Corn Club Boy" raised 2^^y 2 bushels on an acre. Yields exceeding 100 bushels are reported by 100 farmers. In some parts of the coastal plains there are deep peaty soils of wide areas on which great crops of corn are grown year after year. The trucker should plant cotton or corn between the rows of his early potatoes on which he has been lavish in the use of fertilizer and he will get a crop of potatoes running up to 100 bushels per acre or more, and then a crop of more than a bale of cotton or fifty bushels of corn per acre.

The cotton or grain farmer of the upper country sows peas after his small grain is harvested, cuts the heavy hay crop the same season, and can leave the stubble sown with crimson clover for a hay crop the next spring in time to plant corn or cotton. The long-growing season offers to the wise farmer opportunities 159 . WAGONS FILLED WITH COTTON AT GIN. S. A. L. RV. 2. STREETS CROWDED WITH WAGON LOADS OF COTTON, S. A. L. RV. 3.

In this work of diversifying and intensifying the agri- culture of the State, the College of Agriculture and .Mechanical Arts at Raleigh, the Agricul- tural Experiment Station, and the Department of Agriculture, with its test farms in various parts of the State are all working with zeal and energy, and the newcomer to the State can al- ways depend upon them for information and advice in the cultivation of the soil. The oppor- tunities for the production of fruit in North Carolina, when quantity and quality are taken into consideration, are not surpassed in any State in the Union. The upper Piedmont and mountain sections are especially adapted to the production of apples; the lower Piedmont and coastal plain sections are specially adapted to peaches, plums and grapes. An exhibit made by the State Board of Agriculture at the National Horticultural Congress held at Council Bluff, Iowa, Novem- ber, 1 1 j 1 1 1, won (he following prizes: First, sweepstakes on best display of fruits in the United States; second, display of apples from Eastern and Gulf States; sweepstakes on best collection of nuts in the United States; best col- lection of English walnuts; best plate of pea- nuts in the United States; best display of vege- tables from Eastern and Gulf States: best ten plates of apples, nut less than five varieties, shown from any State in (lie Union. Besides these there were more than fifty other premiums consisting of gold and silver medals, cash and merchandise, awarded this collection. The nearest approach t<> use of the whole of a State's crop was made by North Carolina, which took 876. ooo bales and raised 1)46,000 bales, and by South Carolina, which took 782.000 bales and raised 1.28 1,000 bales. These two States are in the heart of the region which was set apart by nature as the sites of the cotton-mill industry of the country, if not of the world. They are convenient to the cotton fields, with ideal climatic conditions, close to water-power, the earliest forces to be applied to the textile in- dustry and the source of millions of horsepower through hydro-electric development. The con- sumption of cotton in the South in 1912-1913 was: Northern mills, 2,617,000 bales; Southern mills, 2,970,000 bales ; gain for South, 350,000 bales. The 13th census figures are illuminating 011 the subject of manufacturing progress. In North Carolina under the head of "Manufac- tures" 1909, pages 4 and 5. it will be observed that in the value of product, etc.. North Caro- lina ranks first with 302 establishments for manu- facturing cotton goods ; Massachusetts ranks second with 281 such establishments. Under the head of "Percentage of Increase" it is ob- served that the value of the product between 1904 and [909 shows the following figures of in- crease : In the entire cotton manufacturing belt of the United States there was an increase of 39.5 per cent, in Massachusetts 43.4 per cent and in North Carolina 53.8 per cent. The record of southern cotton spindles follows: i860, 29s. 359; 1900, 6.767,103; 1913, 12,819,333. Of 'these North Carolina has t,^) mills and 3.756,265 spindles; South Carolina 190 mills and 4.640,576 spindles ; making a total of 8,396,841 spindles "for these two States.

While these towns are not very large yet they are quite im- portant shipping points and represent an ex- ceedingly superior agricultural section of the State of Virginia. The people are industri- ous and prosperous. Opportunities are con- tinually presenting themselves for the establish- ment of new enterprises which are being taken advantage of, with the result that these towns are growing rapidly. This territory is well worth the attention of prospective settlers wish- ing to make investments in these towns, or to engage in agricultural pursuits in the country no doubt pay. The Chamber of Commerce sends in the following article: "Petersburg contains many points of great historical interest. Its debt is unusually small and it has never failed to meet promptly every financial obligation. Its tax rate is $1.40. This city has never had a boom but the assessment of its real and personal prop- erty combined has increased 67% in the past six years. Petersburg has five strong and well managed banks. It has an efficient health de- partment and excellent health conditions. Its churches number 49, and its public schools are modern and well conducted. The city's appro- priation for public schools has increased 225% 161 162 SECTIONAL VIEW OF RICHMOND, VA., S. A. L. RY. RENOWNED IN HISTORY, FAMOUS AS A JOBBING CENTER AND WIDELY KNOWN AS A MANUFACTURING CITY. in the past five years. Petersburg is noted for fine dairies, some of which score as high as any other in the country. Petersburg owns its waterworks. This city manufactures more trunks and bags than any other city in the United States. It manufactures and exports 95% of all the cigarettes exported from the United States. It manufactures and exports more than 80% of all plug, twist and cut tobacco exported from the United States. It is the largest market in the United States for Spanish peanuts. It has an inexhaustible supply of gray granite of fine quality. It has abundant and cheap electric power. It has an intelligent and contented class of wage earners and strikes are unknown. Truck farming near Petersburg is profitable for the reason that the soil and climate are adapted to a great variety of crops ; the roads are excel- lent and the best markets but a few hours dis- tant. Most of the land near Petersburg is as well suited as any other in the country to the growth of bright tobacco, and may be bought at as low prices as any other similar lands. Sites with railway track connections or with wharf frontage may be rented or bought at very low rates. One of 'Petersburg's greatest needs is a first-class hotel, since existing hotels cannot ade- quately accommodate the increasing number of visitors." Anyone desiring knowledge regarding investments in this city will find the Chamber of Commerce glad to supply the required informa- tion, or inquiries will receive prompt attention from the local representative as well as from the General Industrial Department of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. This Company furnishes splendid accommodations to its patrons here, and affords quick and superior facilities for traffic to and from this section as well as for all other southern States which it serves. Chester, Ches- terfield County. Pop. 1,000. Thirteen miles south of Richmond and ten miles north of Petersburg. Has bank, high school and all mod- ern conveniences of towns of similar size.

This FTenrico County. — Population city is the capital of the Stale; also the county seat. Richmond is one of the greatest of southern cities — commercially, his- torically and educationally — and is important in that it is the most northerly terminus of the Sea- hoard Air Line Railway's great system. Rich- mond was founded in April. 1737, and the seat of State government was removed there from Williamsburg in 1779. It became a city in 1782. For the past thirty vears the city has steadily increased in population and commercial im- portance and its future as a trade center is flat- tering. By virtue of the water power of the James river, Richmond possesses great manu- facturing capacitv at the same time being located in a fair agricultural region. It is renowned for the manufacture of tobacco, cigarettes, fer- tilizers, iron and locomotives. Other manufac- turing industries may be mentioned as follows : Chewing gum makers, ice plants, boot and shoe manufacturing, boxes, barrels, paper, twine, bags, brick, granite, tile, marble, stone, carriages, wagons, clothing, pickles, electrical appliances, chemicals, cement, lime, roofing, flour, cornmeal. baking powders, foundry, machine shops, agri- cultural implements, furniture, mattresses, lum- ber, sash, doors and blinds, paints, varnish, wil- lowware, woodenware and trunks, and packers of meats. The jobbing business of the city has been more than doubled in the last 15 years. Some of the large houses sell goods in every State in the union and most of them sell to the trade from Virginia to Texas. Richmond's to- bacco business alone will amount to about $22,000,000 per year. Another large industry for which Richmond has become famous is the building of locomotives. The large plant which is located here for this purpose supplies a great many locomotives to various railroads through- out the United States and frequently large orders are filled for railroads in foreign countries. The largest cedarware works in the world is located at Richmond and the product of this factor)- is used extensively throughout this country as well as most foreign countries. The manufacture of baking powder is carried on very extensively in ibis city, the product being distributed through- out the southern States as well as other sec- tions of the country. Large quantities are also exported to other countries. Richmond's enor- mous banking capital is one of the resources of its commercial and manufacturing strength. (In account of its superior hotel facilities, climate and social conditions, it is popular with tourists returning East from Florida, as well as with visitors from all parts of the world who come here sightseeing, gathering historical facts and enjoying the superb climate. Branch- ville. — Pop. 300. Boykins. — Pop. 600. New- soms. — 1'op. 200. Handsoms. — Pop. 200. All in Southampton county.

The lands are 164 productive of various kinds of agricultural pin- ducts such as corn, oats, wheat, cotton and pea- nuts, especially the latter. The above towns are prosperous, have splendid schools, and are gen- erally supplied with modern conveniences of towns of similar size. Franklin, SOUTHAMPTON County. Pop. 2500. Thirty-seven miles from Portsmouth. This town has several banks ; very large lumber plant; vegetable package factory; brick kiln; two buggy factories; cottonseed oil and fertilizer plant; plant manufacturing steam and vacuum traps ; marble works ; nursery ; a number of peanut factories ; harness factory ; two newspapers; wholesale grocery and hardware establishments. The resources are timber and agricultural lands with soils of such fertility as are exceedingly valuable in the raising of a variety of crops, such as corn, hay, the better class of grasses, peanuts, etc., including the cul- tivation of strawberries, apples, peaches and other fruits. The inhabitants are progressive, prosperous and liberal in extending assistance to those desiring to locate in this vicinity. Carrs- ville. Isle of Wight County. — Pop. 300. Purvis. — Pop. 200.

Thousands of barrels of potatoes and other farm products are shipped every year from this point. Suffolk is a famous peanut market, being surrounded by a territory in which this product is extensively cul- tivated. There are a number of large peanut cleaning establishments located here and the revenue from this source has very materially in- creased the wealth of this region for many miles in every direction. Lumber is one of the large industries, and there are numerous other enter- prises. The citizens will welcome all who wish to locate in their city, extending a helping hand to those who desire assistance in the establish- ment of industrial plants or commercial enter- prises for which the city is so splendidly adapted. Portsmouth, Norfolk County. — Population 35,000. This city is the eastern terminus of the Seaboard Air Line Railway which has here its largest shops for the repair of locomotives, cars, etc. This company also handles here immense volumes of freight traffic with steamship lines operating between Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia and P>altimore. and the amount of money distributed from this and other sources by the Seaboard Air Line Railway amounts to a large sum annually. Portsmouth has a number of strong financial institutions, and in this respect is unequalled by any city in the State. These institutions are officered al- most without exception by men of large expe- rience and their reputation for integrity and high-class financial and business ability is a well established fact. At Portsmouth is located the navy yard where several thousand men are em- ployed and where is to be found one of the largest drv-docks in the countrv.

FLORIDA'S GROVES OF GOLDEN GRAPEFRUIT IN THE HIGHLANDS OF PASCO COUNTY Afford the best investment for the person of small means, or large means, to be found in this Land of Enterprise, Progress and Prosperity. GRAPEFRUIT TREE, SIX YEARS OLD, PRODUCED TEN BOXES OF FRUIT, SEASON OF 1912-13. Making a selection of location, the time and trouble of securing trees best suited for the purpose, as well as competent and reliable labor, has deterred a number of people who could well afford to become grove owners from embarking in an enterprise of this nature. To relieve those desirous of owning a citrus fruit grove from all worry and responsibility, and at the same time to assure them that their investment is absolutely safe, this company, organized and chartered under the Laws of Florida, announces that it has a plan whereby such groves will be planted, cared for, and three crops harvested and marketed for the purchaser, which under ordinary conditions will pay the full cost of (he grove. The payments for this fully developed grove are to be distributed over a period of five years, and are made through a Trust Company, acting as Trustee. The lands selected for these groves are the very best in the HIGHLANDS of Pasco County, a section noted for the perfection of its citrus fruits as well as for its elevation, freedom from frosts, and its general healthfulness. A handsomely illustrated booklet, descriptive of the Highland Groves, and containing full infor- mation concerning prices, terms of payment and our references, will be mailed upon request by letter or post card.

This is the case if vou locate at BOWLING GREEN O'-O Real Estate A MILLION ACRE OPENED FOR DEVELOPMEI HERE are opportunities unsurpassed for Timber Land and Colonization Developing Companies— Virgin Timber Lands purchased and held for years. Transportation was the one thing lacking to make them available for Development, and it has come with the construction of the Okeechobee Division of the Florida East Coast Railway and the Haines City Extension of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. THE HAINES CITY EXTENSION Of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, from Haines City south, is already in operation forty-seven miles to the town of Sebring, which is growing rapidly. It is expected that this line will be continued through to the Caloosahatchee River. We own about 400,000 acres — some in Polk County, but largely in DeSoto County — through which this new road has passed and is planned to pass. From Lake Childs north the land is high and rolling, covered with Virgin Pine, Oak, Hickory and Magnolia. There are a number of clearwater lakes from three to five miles long, with beautiful banks surrounding them, that will make fine sites for winter homes, orange and grape fruit groves and truck farms. The southern portion of the tract is somewhat similar to the lands in St. Lucie County, being very desirable for colonization purposes. THE MANATEE DIVISION OF THE SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY We own 75,000 acres of choice timber land touching Tampa Bay, in Hillsboro and Manatee Counties, with many miles of water frontage, which lands are now offered for sale. This tract is interspersed with orange and grapefruit groves and small farms. This is very choice property, being in the famous Manatee section. CONSOLIDATE Consolidated Buildil 314 Real Estate K FLORIDA r TWO NEW RAILROADS THE OKEECHOBEE DIVISION Of the Florida East Coast Railway, from Maytown to Okeechobee, on the north shore of Lake Okeechobee, will open up a magnificent section. The road is already completed seventy-five miles. The major portion of the grading is completed and the entire road will be in operation within a year. We own 400,000 acres in Osceola and St. Lucie Counties, through which this new railroad runs. These lands border on Lake Okeechobee and Lake Marion, and are all virgin pine timber lands that have never been touched by axe or plow. The soil is of a dark, loamy character, well adapted to the growing of citrus fruits, general farming and trucking. The lands in St. Lucie County are largely within the artesian flowing well district. St. Lucie County is the center of the famous Indian River orange and grapefruit section, and some of the finest groves in the State are located near our property. VALUABLE TIMBER The lands carry a quantity of virgin pine and cypress timber stumpage, ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 feet, board measure, per acre, in large tracts. THESE LANDS AT WHOLESALE ONLY The Consolidated Land Company owns over a million acres in Florida, and the lands described are offered in tracts of 5,000 acres and up.

' Pablo Beach is recognized as an unequalled summer resort for Southern people, and winter home for Northern people. But this is not all — it is the permanent, year-round residence of many whose business headquarters are in the town itself, and in Jacksonville. Its stores, hotels, restaurants, and other business houses are equipped and managed not only for the pleasure of visitors, but for the convenience of those whose homes are established within its limits. City prices prevail, not exorbitant "resort" charges. AMERICA'S FINEST BEACH '; Pablo Beach offers to the transient visitor and to the permanent resident all the pleasures of seashore life. Its beach is the finest bathing beach on the Atlantic coast. ' Forty miles of beach drive delights the automobilist, and unsurpassed fishing grounds appeal to the devotee of rod and reel. ' As already stated, Pablo Beach is a city of homes — of refined, cultivated people who are noted for their cordial, "old-time" Southern hospitality, as well as for their energy and progressiveness, and believe that "among the right kind of people there should be no strangers."

Frequented by the most eminent travelers THESE trusty steamers, nearly free from vibra- tion, glide smoothly over unruffled mirror waters in a narrow, winding course, through tropical jungles and picturesque river vistas, fringed with lilies and bordered by towering palms, entwined and festooned with flowering vines and with pen- dant, waving tresses of gray moss — a panorama of wild scenic beauty — past hills and orange groves visited by the passengers, thence for nine miles up the swift, shimmering Silver River of indescribable charm. From steamer's deck or glass bottom row- boats, through deep, transparent waters of changing hues of emerald green, and other tints, one peers into the marvelous "Bridal Chamber" of the Springs with rapt amazement. The "Ladies' Parlor," "Smoking Room," "Jacob's Well," and the Fossil Boneyard never fail to excite emotion. The mystery of the sparkling iridescence and absolute trans- parency of these waters, thirty to eighty feet in depth, remains to be solved. Throughout the night the fantastic torch-light illumination of forest and river, unknown on any other tourist route in the world, is an impressive and mystical scene never to be forgotten. This wonderfully unique, fascinating and romantic trip up and down the beautiful Ockla- waha River and Silver Springs has no counterpart in the world. This far-famed Mecca of Northern Tourists has long been visited again and again by the first families and by the world's most eminent travelers. The Randall Orange Grove, Rose Garden and Hotel, adjacent to thousands of acres of wild hunting grounds, are visited by Hart Line passengers. On and after January 5th, 1914, steamers leave Palatka Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, at 12.45 noon, or after arrival of trains from Jacksonville, St. Augustine and first night trains from Miami and Tampa, arriving at Silver Springs before noon the next day. Returning, leave Silver Springs Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, at 2 P. M. on arrival of S. A. L. Ry. first morning trains from Jacksonville, Orlando, Winter Park and Tampa to Ocala; and A. C. L.

GOODWIN, Traffic Manager, WILMINGTON NORTH CAROLINA 394 Railroads Opportunities and Advantages Along The Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad The Aberdeen & Rockfish Rail- road now offers to the public through service between Aberdeen and Fay- etteville, N. C. Passenger trains leaving both points daily, except Sunday, connecting with the Sea- board Air Line Railway's North and Southbound trains at Aberdeen, and with the principal Atlantic Coast Line's trains at Fayetteville; also connecting with the Raleigh, Char- lotte & Southern Railway at Aber- deen, affording direct transportation from Eastern to Western Carolina. Passengers choosing this route save a distance of something like ioo miles, and are conducted through the heart of three of the best coun- ties in North Carolina. The famous Bethune Hill, present site of the North Carolina Sani- tarium for "the Treatment of Tuber- culosis, is worth a trip across the state to see. On account of its alti- tude, frost has never been known to kill fruit in the spring. It has been said that the scenery at this point is the finest east of the Blue Ridge. The fine trucking lands along this line make it one of the best farm- ing sections in the state, and the varieties of soil make it possible for farmers to produce any crop they choose. It has been found that tobacco can be profitably grown and large tobacco farms will be seen along the line next year. Home seekers should take advantage of the rare opportunities along this line and locate in a section that promises to lead in the next few years. The thriving towns along this line, of which Raeford, the County seat of Hoke, is the chief, have unexcelled opportunities for capitalists who are looking for a place to locate that has all the conveniences of thefarge cities, and is located in one of the health- iest and most prosperous sections of the state. This is a glorious section of the State of North Carolina, and is des- tined to be densely populated.

In the five years of its existence it has brought order out of chaos, by spending a half million dollars in building and equipping up- to-date packing houses and placing men in charge of them who know the business. (11 Only a few markets for Florida oranges and grape- fruit were known five years ago. The Florida Citrus Exchange has expanded these markets until they are sold in every State and every town of importance in the United States and Canada.

SI 12.9932 Remarks: The above water may be classed as an alka- line water. The amounts of Carbonate of Lime, Carbonate of Soda and Sulphate of Soda are quite notable and sufficient to exercise a benehcial Influence when used under the direc- tion of a physician for the classes of disorders which this character of water is best suited. The use of such water as this would be Indi- cated In catarrhal conditions of the mucous membranes, rheumatism, gout, diabetes, etc. Respectfully submitted, McCANDLES LABORATORY. Atlanta, Ga. July 1st, 1913. Flanigan Mineral Springs Co., Auburn, Ga. Gentlemen: The analysis of your spring water shows it to be one of great Importance and valuable in any case where an alkaline mineral water is indicated. 1 am especially impressed with the surroundings of the spring and the fact that on account of the drainage being from an area which is uninhabited and not used for pasture, there is apparently no possibility of contami- nation of the water. I consider this of para- mount importance, because we have learned that water may become contaminated from a source quite a distance away. Many of the springs from which water is bottled are in fairly thickly settled localities, as I know from personal observation. I shall take pleasure in recommending your most excellent water in cases in which I deem it advisable. Yours very truly, ROY BLOSSEK, M.D. Atlanta Ga. Hoschton, Ga., June 29, 1913. I have examined the analysis of the Flanigan Mineral Spring Water, and the same shows that it should be useful in the treatment of diseases where an alkaline water is indicated. This water is palatable and free from any in- jurious organic matter. L. C. ALLEN, M.D. Lawrenceville. Ga., July 16, 1913. I am getting good results from the use of Flanigan 'S Mineral Water in eases of nephritis. M. T. JOHNSON, M.D. Winder. Ga., July 10, 1913. Flanican Mineral Springs Co., Auburn. Ga. Dear Sirs: I should judge from the analytical report of your mineral water that it contains a sufficient amount of minerals to exercise a benenclal inlluence in properly selected cases. With best wishes I am, Yours truly. S. T. ROSS, M.D. Winder. Ga., July 14, 1913. Flanigan Mineral Springs Co., Auburn, Ga. Gentlemen: I take very great pleasure in recommending your mineral water In the treatment of dis- eases where an alkaline water Is indicated. I consider it one of the best mineral waters on the market. J. T. WAGES, M.D. Flanigan Mineral Spring Co., Auburn, Ga. I am familiar with the Flanigan Mineral Spring Water and the surroundings at the springs, and It affords me pleasure to state the use of the water will prove most benehcial in cases of diabetes, rheumatism, Brlght's dis- ease and all diseases where an alkaline mineral water is needed. Respectfully, L. P. PHARR, M.D. College Park, Ga., June 30, 1913. Auburn, Ga., May 29, 1913. I wish to say a few words In regard to Flani- gan Mineral Water. After seeing the analvsls and knowing what it contains, I consider it one of the best Mineral Waters to be had. I am now recommending it to many of my patients. T. A. FOWLER. M.D. After seeing the analysis of the Flanican mineral water I consider it one of the best Alkaline Mineral Waters on the market, and can cheerfully recommend it in the treatment of those disorders in which an Alkaline Mineral Water is indicated.

The goods we manufacture are guaranteed to do what we claim for them, or money refunded. Our household necessity is an insect exterminator and disinfectant and is guaranteed to clear the house and poultry yard of all obnoxious pests and disease germs. Ask your dealer for Theydie and do not accept a substitute that is reported to be just as good under some other name. Theydie is indispensable both for trees and vegetables. It is our duty to tell you that Theydie is the only sure and safe white fly exterminator as well as for other insects, scale, blight, etc, Theydie has been tested where trees have been given up to die with the white fly, surprisingly. Theydie restored them to be as green and full of foliage as before. Unlike other tree spray, with Theydie it is not necessary that the trees be sprayed more than once in one or two years; if properly gone over, once in two years is sufficient. The second and third year you will be more than surprised to see how Theydie improves the fruit; the trees will be free from scale and rust, the fruit will also be much sweeter. Not only will Theydie kill white fly, scale, spiders, prevent blight, rust, foot rot, dry rot and all other disease germs pertaining to the tree life, but Theydie is also highly recommended for plants, shrubbery flowers, etc. If you are the owner of a grove, plants or shrubbery, you cannot afford to be without Theydie, for the cost of same is nothing compared to the benefit of your fruit trees, also you will get a higher price for nice, clean fruit, which you already know. Why wait until tomorrow to order ? Order today and improve the condition of your trees, fruit, vegetables, etc. You need not send any money with your order. Order now and pay for the goods after you find them to be perfectly satisfactory. Can any proposition be fairer ? We could not afford to make such an offer if we did not know for a fact just what Theydie will do. After you have once used Theydie you will never be without it. Kindly give us your order and we will make prompt shipment, and you will never regret the expenditure of so little money for such beneficial and profitable results.

SdikiMsLcatkrBdtiM Wherever you are, you can get Schieren's Duxbak Waterproof Leather Belting Promptly. Whatever your require- ments you cannot buy better belting than DUXBAK Schieren's Leather Belting Is Used in Every Climate Under the Sun Schieren's Duxbak Leather Belting is Waterproof and Climate -proof. Not merely on paper, but in actual use under the most trying conditions. Even a drenching with sea water will not shorten its long life or lessen its grip on your pulleys. These are some of the reasons why our sales of Duxbak Belting have increased by 350 per cent, in the last two years — why the name and reputation of Duxbak Leather Belting have traveled all over the world — why we have had to establish branch houses and distributing stations in every part of the civil- ized world where belting is used. Duxbak Belting is a leather belting, but is- radically differ. ent and better than any other leather belting made. The elements that rapidly destroy ordinary leather belting — wide and sudden changes of temperature, extreme dampness, ex- treme dryness — have absolutely no effect on Duxbak.
