the South was not making the most of
its possibilities in cotton culture, and
Bo proceeded to make a thorough
study of “the most valuable plant the
Sah has ever produced,” as he puts
Yo Double the Cotton Crop.
His effort has been to find a hybrid
plant, between the long staple which
is raised successfully only on the
ooast and the less valuable upland
coston, which oan be profitably pro-
duced in Middle Georgia. By patient
esporimentation, in co-operation with
the Department of Agriculture, he has
made meat progress In this direction
and is gradually evolving a cotton
plant which promises to bring a much
higher average return than the far-
mer has realized in the past. This Is
the sort of work which few men have
the patience to do, but which confers
its benefits upon all when once ace
romplished, It is a wonderful thing
Ro lift an entire industry, and thus
Ro elevate the standard of living for
Rens of thousands of families—more
wonderful, far, than building a rall-
»oad or a cotton mill, as I have said.
What he has done with live stock
and cotton, Mr. Hunt has also done
with fruit culture, He has taken the
lead in planting orchards, and in dem-
onstrating what warleties of peaches,
apples and pears are best suited to the
soil and climate and to the markets
open to the Georgia farmers, He has
done the same with grapes and ber
ries, and thus again achieved results
which have benefited other growers
a8 much as himself. In the course
of his studies he has visited the most
famous fruit-growing and winepro-
docing districts of the world, includ.
ing those in California and in France,
and has necessarily become a man of
godence. In this way he has made the
acquaintance of the foremost scien-
tists of the world and on the occasion
of Herbert Spencer's visit to the Unit-
ed States he was the only man out-
side the ranks of professional scien-
tists invited to meet the world's
greatest thinker. Incidentally, it may
be mentioned that he is an enthusi-
astiec collector of Indian antiquities,
and that his search for rare speci
mens has carried him all over the
United States and Mexico, and even
to distant islands of the Pacific.
No Antagonism to Northern Men,
Although it saying
goes without
and a better df osition of the com-
forts of life.
It would be ungracious to say that
all this is due to the influence of men
from the North, and it would be un-
true as well as ungracious; but it is
nevertheless a fact that the ideas
which dominated in the old days
were not adapted to the best use of
Southern resources and opportunities
for development, ang that these old
ideas had to surrender to new and
better plans and methods before the
South which is now rapidly deveiop-
ing could be possible, One of the
strongest forces in the new movement
is the stream of Northern blood and
capital which has flowed into the
beautiful Southern land since the
days of reconstruction. And I repeat,
because it cannot be sald with too
much emphasis, that Georgia knows
this, appreciates it, and wants more of
it
These are facts which may be prop
erly taken into consideration by North
ern people who are looking for homes
They are quite as important as soil,
climate and markets. In this connec
tion, I am tempted to make a final
quotation from Mr, Hunt, because n
has an important bearing upon
social life of the region and is di
tion,
dent in the brain of the white man,
North or South, be he Catholic, Prot
estant or Quaker,
finds expression in social
culture. South,
finds so much greater
inherent civilization, in the white
race, against inheremt barbarism in
the black race, that the caste sent!
ment justifies {itself in dividing the
white from the black. Hence, there
exists fuller democracy among all
white people in the South than else
where. Here, minor social differences
are annulled by the one great caste
distinetion. This condition gives freer
play to altruistic social usage among
the white people here than In other
parts of our country.”

up a bunch of trouble for 1006, Ma-
dame, pleasantly, even gally, states
that 1906 will be a wild year, full of

dicts that Germany will be threatened
with general smash early in the year;
that South Ameriea Is to be torn with
upheavals, that an nnconquerable epi-
demic Is to sweep this country; that
Belgium will play a curious part im
the transformation of Europe; that the
attention of the world will be centered
on Turkey and the near Past; and that
there will be serious losses in the art

The population of Atlanta and its
immediate suburbs is now probably
about 150,000 and is rapidly growing,
~—at least twice as rapidly as the pop
ulation of the United States. But its
tusiness, as evidenced by bank clear
ings and postal receipts, Is growing
much faster than Its population.
This business Is largely in the form
of manufacturing, although the whole
sale trade Is also expanding to enor
mous proportions. The growth of
rallway, telegraph and telephone sys
tems naturally keeps pace with trade,
manufacture and population. All this
requires constant activity in bullding
operations and the employment of an
increasing army of labor. In other
