 Georgia's Resources and Advantages 
 
PART I. 
 
GEORGIA AS A WHOLE 
 
Georgia, the last settled of the original thirteen States, which united under the Fed- 
 
eral Constitution to form the American Union, is the greatest in area of all the States east of the Mississippi river. 
 
At the time of the first English settlement at Savannah in 1733, it embraced the 
 
territory between the Savannah and Altamaha rivers, but at the close of the French 
 
and Indian war its boundaries were extended to the Mississippi on the west and to 
 
latitude 31 degrees and the St. Mary's river on the south and still later to 30 degrees 
 
21 minutes and 30 seconds on the south. . Out of her western lands ceded to the United 
 
States in 1802 were formed the larger parts of the States of Alabama and Mississippi. 
 
During the war for Independence, Georgia, the youngest and feeblest of the colo- 
 
nies, bore her full proportion of hardship and danger, and was nobly illustrated in the 
 
field by such gallant soldiers as Elijah Clarke, James Jackson, John Dooly, Samuel 
 
Elbert, John Twiggs, Wm. Few, Lachlan Mclntosh and others, and in the forum by 
 
Lyman Hall, Button Gwinnett, George Walton, Archibald Bulloch, Abraham Baldwin 
 
and many more. 
 
r~- 
 
In the war of 1812 her sons, under General John Floyd, won distinction in the 
 
campaigns under Andrew Jackson against the Indian allies of the British. In the 
 
Mexican war she was nobly illustrated by Col. Wm. H. T. Walker, sorely wounded 
 
at Chapultepec, and Colonel James Mclntosh, killed at Molino del Rey. 
 
In the war between the States, Georgia furnished to the Confederate cause nine- 
 
ty-four regiments and thirty-six battalions, embracing every arm of the service. Many 
 
of the most brilliant officers of the Southern army were from Georgia; among them 
 
being John B. Gordon, who commanded the left wing of Lee's army at Appomattox; 
 
Clement A. Evans, who, on that historic day, after Lee and Grant had arranged terms 
 
of capitulation, ignorant of what had transpired and commanding a division on the 
 
extreme left of the army, led a successful charge, capturing prisoners and cannon; the 
 
dashing cavalry leader, Joseph Wheeler, who, after the war, became Congressman from 
 
Alabama, and during the Spanish-American conflict was major-general of U. S. Vol- 
 
unteers in Cuba; and James Longstreet, who, after the close of the great American 
 
conflict, finally made Georgia his home, and sleeps now in her bosom. 
 
During the Spanish-American war Georgia furnished more volunteers in propor- 
 
tion to population than any other State.

GEORGIA'S RESOURCES AND ADVANTAGES. 
 
Thus at every period of American history Georgia has taken a conspicuous stand. Her Crawfords, Berrien, Stephens, Toombs, Cobbs, Benjamin H. Hill and Henry Grady were among the greatest orators of America, and no grander pulpit orator than George F. Pierce can be named in the roll of America's great preachers. Sidney Lanier also ranks high among American poets. 
Great on these lines, Georgia is also one of the most progressive among our States. In the later thirties on account of her rapid growth in manufactures and her wisdom and zeal in railroad construction, Georgia received the proud title "Empire State of the South." 
It has been said that the South was retarded to such an extent by slavery and so much damaged by the war that she is far behind the rest of the Union in the race of progress. This statement has been repeated again and again until the whole world, including our own people, accept it as the truth. 
Growth in population is one of the evidences of progress, and in this Georgia compares favorably with any of the "Old Thirteen." The United States census of 1900 is authority for the following statements: 
The population of Massachusetts is very nearly seven and a half times as large as it was at its first census in 1790; 
That of Pennsylvania more than fourteen times as large; That of New York more than twenty-one times as large; That of Georgia nearly twenty-seven times as large (the exact figures being 26.8 times as large). We think that will do pretty well. From the above-named eastern and middle States there has been a large emigration to the West, and from Georgia there has also been a very large emigration to all the States of the Southwest. Here the record is about evenly balanced. In i860 the per capita wealth of these same States was as follows: Massachusetts $662; Pennsylvania, $487; New York, $475; Georgia, $611. 
As a result of the Civil War the per capita wealth of these States was far ahead of that of Georgia. In 1870 the comparative per capita wealth was as follows: Massachusetts, $1,463; Pennsylvania, $1,081 ;New York, $1,483 ; Georgia, $226. 
In 1890 the record stood thus: Massachusetts, $1,252, a loss of seven and a half per cent, in per capita Wealth from 1870 to 1890; Pennsylvania, $1,177, a gam of eight and four-fifths per cent.; New York, $1,430, a loss of three per cent.; Georgia, $464, a gain of 105 per cent. 
We think this record speaks well for the enterprise and progressive spirit of Georgia. 
A State that had suffered such shrinkage in values by the disastrous results of war and was able so soon to get upon her feet and vie with her more fortunate sisters in the race of progress, must be inhabited by an enterprising, dauntless and intelligent people, whom no disasters can appall and no adversities subdue. 
But say some: "The South is far behind the North in the matter of conveniences." This, too, is a mistake. Name the convenience known to the North that we do not have in our cities, and large towns: steam-heated houses, lit by gas, or electricity, or both, and supplied with water. Wherever one may travel, in cities or mid rural scenes, he will find comfortable homes and frequently elegant dwellings, supplied with all modern conveniences. And we are abundantly supplied with telegraph and telephone lines, both short and long-distance, urban and rural.

As to the telegraph, it penetrates almost every nook and corner of the State. The growth of the cities and towns of Georgia in every section of the State is evidence of prosperous farmers; for a strong agricultural community is back of every thriving, growing town. Electric railways give rapid transit to all parts of our cities and afford speedy and comfortable communication with near-by towns and villages or pleasure resorts. Magnificent lines of railway traverse every section of the State giving to its farmers easy access to markets; to the enterprising merchants of her cities and towns ready communication with the magnificent farms, market gardens and immense orchards that abound in north, middle and south Georgia; bringing to her manufacturers the fleecy cotton of her fields, the coal and iron of her mines, and the timbers from her forests. In addition to railroad advantages many Georgia towns enjoy fine water transportation, and thus obtain cheaper freight rates. The Savannah river is navigable for steamboats to Augusta, 230 miles from its mouth. Steamboats ply the Chattahoochee from Columbus to the Apalachicola, and thence to the Gulf of Mexico; to which also steamboats descend from Albany by the Flint and Apalachicola rivers. From the Atlantic steamboats also ascend the Altamaha and its branch, the Ocmulgee, to Hawkinsville, or its other branch, the Oconee, almost to the city of Milledgeville. The St. Mary's river is navigable for the largest vessels from its mouth up to and beyond the town of that name. The Satilla and Ogeechee are each navigable for some distance from their mouths. The inlets and sounds flowing between the mainland and the lovely islands that skirt the Georgia coast from the Savannah to the Saint Mary's rivers are navigable for large steamboats. 
*Also have a system of water-worts.

GEORGIA'S RESOURCES AND ADVANTAGES: 
 
Through St. Simon's sound the largest ocean vessels pass up the Turtle river, a short but deep stream, to the city of Brunswick, the second in importance oi the seaports of Georgia, as Savannah is the first, to whose wharves great ocean vessels asccn 1 by the river of that name. 
In Northwest Georgia the city of Rome enjoys a fine river trade through the Oostanaula and the Coosa. Into its lap steamboats pour the productions of the Coosa valleys, such as lumber, iron, grain and cotton, and the staple products of the Oostanaula valley. 
Every section of Georgia is drained by rivers of considerable size with their tributary creeks and branches, and is consequently a splendid agricultural country. 
THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF GEORGIA comprises nine basins: The Tennessee basin, drained by tributaries of the Tennessee river; the Mobile basin, drained by the Talhpoosa and" Coosa rivers and their tributaries into the Gulf of Mexico; the Apalachicola basin, drained by the Chattahoochee, Flint and Apalachicola rivers into the Gulf of .Mexico; the Altamaha basin, drained by the Oconee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers into the Atlantic ocean; the Ogeechee basin, drained by the river of that name through Ossabaw sound into the Atlantic ocean; the Savannah'basin, drained by the Savannah river and its tributaries into the Atlantic ocean; the Ochlockonee basin, drained by the river of that name through Ochlockonee bay into the Gulf of Mexico; the Suwannee basin, drained by the Allapaha and Withlacoochee rivers and their tributaries into the Suwanee river and Gulf of Mexico; the Satilla and St. Mary's basin, drained by the Satilla river through St. Andrew's sound and by the St. Mary's through Cumberland sound into the Atlantic ocean. Between these two rivers lies the noted Okefenokee swamp. 
EXTENT AND TOPOGRAPHY OF GEORGIA.--Georgia, embracing 59,475 square miles, lies between the parallels of 300 21' and 39" and 350 North latitude, embracing 4 58' 21". This fact would itself insure variety of climate and productions. This variety is increased by the topography of the country; the northern section containing mountains of from 3,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level, and having an average elevation of more than 1,000 feet, while Middle Georgia ranges from" 180 to 500, and in a few instances to 1,000 feet above sea-level, and Southern Georgia has an average elevation from 100 to 500 feet. 
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS.--Some of the peaks of the Blue Ridge chain of mountains rise to an elevation of 5,000 feet. Some of the most noted peaks are: Sitting Bull middle summit of Xantahala), in Towns county, 5,046 feet above sea-level; Mona (cast summit of Xantahala), 5,039 feet; Enota, also in Towns countv, 4,797 feet: Rabrjn Bald, in Rabun county. 4.7!^ feet; Blood, in Union countv, 4,468; Tray, in llabcrsham county. 4.403 feet; Cohutta, in Eannin county, 4,155 feet; Dome, in Towns county, 4,042 feet; Grassy, in Pickens county. 3,290 feet; Tallulah. in Habersham county, 3.172 feet; Yona. in White county, 3,167 feet. 
Twenty miles to the west of the Blue Ridge lies the Cohutta range, with an average altitude of 3.000 feet above sea-.level. To the northwest of this range are Lookout and Sand Mountain ranges, spurs of the Alleghanies which, like the Blue Ridge, belong to the great Appalachian mountain system. The highest spur of Lookout.Mountain range, High Point, has an elevation of 2,408 feet, "while Pigeon Mountain, the northeastern spur of the same rai?<e. has at its loftiest point an altitude of 2,331 feet, and still another spur, known as Round Mountain, rises to 2,200 feet above the level' of the sea. Taylor's Rid.q-e. with its prolongation, called the White Oak Mountains", varies in elevation from 1,300 to 1.500 feet, while a little further south Rocky Face

Ridge, rising to a height of from 1,500 to 1,700 feet above sea-level, forms the eastern watershed of Chickamauga river, which flows through the valley at an elevation of 900 feet above the sea. Going southward one comes to Pine, Lost and Kennesaw Mountains, the last of which, with its double peak is 1,809 feet above sea-level. In a rolling country of hills and level stretches about 14 miles east of the city of Atlanta, a vast pile of granite, called Stone Mountain, has an elevation of 1,686 feet above the sea and about 700 or 800 feet above the surrounding country. There are a few other elevations in Middle Georgia, which, rising to a considerable height above "the level conntry, are called mountains, as Pine and Oak mountains, on the eastern boundary of Harris county, and Graves mountain, in Lincoln county. Sections of Southwest Georgia have hills which rise to an altitude of 500 feet above the level of the sea. About 3,000 square miles of the region along the Atlantic coast have an elevation of 100 feet. 
OE NINE CLIMATE BEETS found in the United States, eight are represented in Georgia, the lowest having a mean annual temperature of less than 40 degrees, the highest, of between 70 and 80 degrees. Of course the lowest in mean annual temperature is found on the highest of the mountain peaks. Below the summit of these loftiest mountains along their sides the mean annual temperature is between 40 and 45 degrees and corresponds with upper New England and New York, and the mountain region of the two Virginias. A still larger climate zone of between 45 and 50 degrees of mean annual temperature corresponds with portions of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. A narrow strip having between 50 and 55 degrees of mean annual temperature runs northward through North Carolina and Virginia up to New Jersey, while another zone of between 55 and 60 degrees, and about three times as large as all the preceding together, passing through both Carolinas ends in Virginia. 
Nearly all Middle Georgia is in a climate zone of between 60 and 65 degrees, which corresponds with that of upper Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, West Tennessee and Arkansas and part of Virginia. 
Southern Georgia has a climate ranging between 65 and 70 degrees, and corresponding with that of Southern Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and upper Florida. 
The mean annual temperatures at some of the important stations in North and Middle Georgia are as follows: At Rome, 61.9 degrees; Gainesville, 61.3: Atlanta, 61.4; Carrollton, 62; Athens. 63: Augusta, 64; LaGrange, 64.1; Thomson, 64.7. 
For lower Middle and Southern Georgia, these temperatures are at Macon, 66.1 degrees: at Cuthbert, 68.1; at Americus, 68.2; at Brunswick, 68.i. 
The only station touching the zone between 70 and 75 degrees of mean annual temperature is Blackshear, with 70.2 degrees. 
The isothermal line of 80 degrees July temperature runs above Augusta and Macon to West Point. In the greater portion of Middle Georgia above this line, and in North Georgia, the July temperature is between 75 and 80 degrees. 
Below this same isothermal line througout the greater part of East, Southeast and Southwest Georgia the July temperature is between 80 and 85 degrees.' 
For the whole State the mean July temperature is 81.8 degrees! Snow seldom falls in Southern Georgia, and there rarely to a depth of more than two inches. The fall and depth of snow increase slightly in Middle Georgia. In the mountain regions the frequency and depth of snow storms show considerable increase. Atlanta, the capital and largest city, near the border of Middle and Northwest Georgia, situated on a ridge with an average elevation of 1,050 feet above sea-level. has 3. mean annual temperature corresponding to that of Washington, St. Louis and Louisville, tbe winters being warmer and the summers cooler.

THE ANNUAL AVERAGE RAINEAEE for Georgia is 49.3 inches. The highest is at Rabun Gap, 71.7 inches, and the lowest at Swainsboro, 39.4 inches. At Atlanta it is 52.12 inches. For Middle Georgia the average annual rainfall is 49.7 inches; for East Georgia, 41.4 inches, and for Northwest Georgia 60.3 inches. 
The average of the summer rainfall is: For North Georgia, 13.6 inches; for Southwest Georgia, 14.5 inches, and for the entire State, 13.4 inches. At different localities representing every section of the State, the summer rainfall averages: in Rome, 10.2 inches; Atlanta, 10.8 inches; Rabun Gap. 15.4 inches; Americus, 16 inches; Brunswick, 16.6 inches. 
AGRICULTURE.--With its great variety of climate, owing to its nearly four and a half degrees of latitude, and the varying altitudes of its different sections, Georgia can raise the greatest variety of products of any State in the Union. The crops and fruits of every section of our country are found within its borders. 
On the -extreme southern section of its mainland, and on its sea-islands are grown also many of the fruits of the tropics, such as oranges, lemons, bananas, etc. In every section of Georgia are found pomegranates and figs. 
In Northwest Georgia there is great variety of surface and soil. There is abundance of land, either rolling or entirely level, well adapted to the growing of corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, cow-peas, vegetables, clover, timothy, orchard grass, Bermuda, Johnson, red-top and many other grasses useful for hay and pasturage. Fine cotton is produced also as far north as Floyd county, above which very little of this crop is raised. There is also in this section a great variety of the finest fruits, such as peaches, apples, pears, cherries, and all kinds of berries and grapes. Some of the most noted valleys are Cedar, Texas, Broomtown and Vann's. 
In Northeast Georgia, the most mountainous and most thinly-inhabited section, but little over 12 per cent, of the land is under cultivation. Much of the tillable land, however, has a very rich dark red soil. Little Tennessee valley, in Rabun county, and Nacoochee valley, in White county are noted for fertility and bear all kinds of crops, grasses and fruits. 
Of the area known as Middle Georgia 75 per cent, is under cultivation. The central cotton region of the State includes the southern part of Middle, and large areas of Southern Georgia. This region embraces the sand and pine hills belt, covering about 3.000 square miles, and the red hills belt and yellow loam region, these two, including together about 6,650 square miles. Throughout this area, except in the sand hills belt, are raised large crops of corn and cotton. 
Along the coast lands embracing an area of about 2,045 square miles, rice is extensively cultivated, and the Georgia sea-islands produce most of the finest cotton known to commerce. 
All over Middle and Southern Georgia grows the sugar-cane, which is richer in saccharine matter than any other known plant from which sugar is extracted. 
The average yield of sugar-cane to the acre, about 200 gallons of syrup, is far below that obtained by the best cultivation. Many farmers in Georgia'have obtained by employing the best methods, from 500 to 700 gallons to the acre. 
The United States census of 1900 reports the crop of 1899, which was one of the poorest seasons that Georgia has known in a long time for all kinds of crops and horticultural products. By that census the total value of Georgia's agricultural products was $86,345,343. Of this amount, $42,534,235 represented the value of the cotton crop, and $17,158,868 that of the corn crop. The sugar-cane brought $1,690,000: Irish potatoes, $326,856; sweet potatoes, $2,354,390, and miscellaneous vegetables $3,-

009.306. The peach crop for the census year (1899) was almost entirely wiped out by late frost. In 1902 bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture reported the value of Georgia's cotton crop to be above $69,000,000, and of the corn crop more than $19,000,000. Thus, in 1902, the cotton and corn alone exceeded in value all the agricultural products of the State combined in the census year. 
The total value of Georgia's cotton crop in 1905 was $102,777,032, of which sum the cotton-seed furnished $13,267,452. The value of the corn crop for 1905 was $33,078,615. 
We give here cotton acreage and production in Georgia from 1879 to 1905.

Georgia has in her commercial orchards more than 16,000,000 peachtrees, of which over half are now in bearing. In an ordinarily good fruit year the peach crop in Georgia is worth at least $4,000,000, and in some years will go far ahead of those figures. The agricultural and horticultural products of Georgia combined, in 1905, approximated in value $160,000,000. Georgia outranks all the States in the quality and value of her watermelons. So large is their shipment and sale that they rank as one of the great money crops of the State. As many as 316,000 watermelons have been sold in Augusta, or shipped from that city in a single season. In Georgia more than 100,000 acres are devoted to their culture, and the number of cars needed in their transportaion is in excess of 10,000 a year. 
Oneof the finest and richest of nuts, the common black walnut, grows abundantlv in Georgia. English walnuts and pecans also do well in every section of Georgia. There is a large pecan grove near West Point, one in Jasper county, near Monticello, several groves in Mitchell county, one of which covers 100 acres; a grove of 1,000 trees

In Dougherty county, several groves in Berrien county, near Tifton; also groves in Hancock and Spalding counties, a large grove near Rome, trees which bear abundantly in Richmond county, and in the city of Augusta. 
Peanuts or ground-peas (also called goobers) are raised in abundance all over Georgia. The spreading branches of the white peanut lie flat upon the ground, while those of the reel peanut and Spanish peanut have an upright growth. The Spanish peanuts mature earlier than the others, and are the surest crop of the three. The peanuts growing in Georgia's most southern section are valuable for making peanut oil. The harvesting must take place before frost. . The yield of nuts is from 30 to 50 bushels, ancksometimes 100 bushels to the acre. Well cured peanut hay makes fine stock feed, especially for ewes in lambing season. 
The chufa, a species of ground or grass nut, has a pleasant taste, and is highly esteemed by some farmers as a fattening food for hogs. 
Cassava (the variety known as sweet cassava) though a new crop to Georgia, has done splendidly, wherever it has had a fair trial, through the whole southern section of the State. From its roots are made the best of starch, and from them also can be prepared tapioca, and other excellent dishes for the table. As stock feed they are firstclass. The most important value of cassava is its ability to produce the best starch known to commerce. On one acre of South Georgia land, with proper cultivation, it will yi,eld 4,000 pounds of starch, while the best corn or potato lands of Illinois or Michigan can produce only 1,200 pounds of starch from these vegetables. 
STOCK-RAISING is very profitable to those engaged in it. In North Georgia the slopes of the mountains and hills are well suited to the grazing of stock, and the long level stretches of the wiregrass or South Georgia section are especially suited to this purpose. In Southern Georgia cattle and sheep need very little shelter, and for only a few weeks in the winter. There are in every section of Georgia model dairy herds of high-grade cattle, and many farmers are paying attention to the raising of the best types of beef-cattle. Horses, mules, swine and poultry are plentiful for all purposes. In 1900 the total value of all live stock on farms, including poultry, was $35,200,507, and the total value of all domestic animals not on farms was estimated at $2,281,059, 
making in all $37,481,566. The number of specified domestic animals on farms in 1900 was; neat cattle, 899,- 
491, valued at $8,828,498, of which number 276,024 were dairy cows; horses, 127,407, valued at $7,092,228; mules, 267,321, valued at $14,454,822; asses and burros, 519, valued at $45,850; sheep, 336,278, valued at $438,363; swine, 1,424,298, valued at 
$2,577,950; goats, 84,624, valued at $61,972. The total value of the above-named ani- 
mals was $33,499,683. Of poultry, there were 4,549,144 chickens, 103,416 turkeys, 208,997 geese and 
64,895 ducks. The total value of all this poultry was $1,458,055. There were also 
187,919 swarms of bees, valued at $243,769. The United States government year-book for 1905, gave 972,658 neat cattle, val- 
ued at $14,924,609; horses, 137.918, valued at $15,910,168; mules, 225,187, valued at $30,409,227; sheep, 273,893, valued at $588,869; swine, 1,438,830, valued at $7,- 
841,624. The total value of all these being $69,674,497. 
THE FOREST TIMBERS of Georgia are many and valuable. Those of Northwest Georgia embrace six varieties of oak (red, white mountain or chestnut, black, water and post oak), two varieties of pine (short-leaf and long-leaf, the latter differing from the long-leaf of Southern Georgia), poplar, ash, beech, elm, chestnut, hickory, maple, (including the sugar maple), walnut, iron-wood, sugar-berry, sycamore, sweet-gum,

black-gum, dogwood, persimmon, sassafras, wild cherry, red-bud, warhoo and cedar. 
 
Many of these are found in large quantities and are useful for the manufacture of furniture and hardwood finish for dwellings. The oaks and pines are much used in the 
construction of buildings, the manufacture of furniture, farming utensils, wagons, etc. Large quantities of the oak and pine are annually shipped. 
 
In die forests of Northeast and Middle Georgia are found in the red lands, Spanish, white and post oaks, hickory, chestnut, dogwood, persimmon, sassafras and in the lowlands of some of the counties short-leaf pine, poplar, ash, walnut, cherry and buckeye ihere is more hickory and less pine than on gray, sandy land. With these blackjack is freely interspersed. 
 
Throughout the sand and pine-hill belt of Middle and South Georgia the prevailing timbers are pines, both long and short-leaf. There are also found some scrub black-jack, oak, sweet-gums and doe-wood and along the streams are undererowths of bay and gall-berry bushes. 
 
Among the red hills throughout the section lying between the Savannah and Flint 
 
rivers, the timbers are oak, and poplar on the lowlands.

Throughout the yellow-loam region are oak, hickory and long-leaf pines 
 
What is known as the long-leaf pine region embraces 17,000 square miles. The forests of this section are a great source of wealth to the State. The timber lands are being put under cultivation, as fast as they are cleared. The pine and palmetto flats around Okefenokee swamp furnish large quantities of long-leaf pine, cypress and saw 
 
palmetto which are found also along the creek bottom and hammock lands, together with black-gum, tupelo gum, titi and maple. 
 
Throughout the coast region are found also magnificent live-oaks, red and water oaks, red cedar, hickory, chincapin, sassafras, cabbage and blue palmetto. 
 
GEOLOGY AND MINING.--Georgia is divided into three main geological areas The Palaeozoic division m which are represented Cambrian, Silurian, Devonian and Carboniferous formations is found in the Northwest section of Georgia and embraces the counties of Dade Walker, Catoosa, AVhitfield, Chattooga, Floyd and the larger portions of Murray Gordon, Bartow and Polk Shales, sandstones, limestones, quartzites and cherts are abundant. Valuable deposits of coal, iron, manganese, roofing slate 
and aluminum (or bauxite), are found in this region of parallel mountain ridges and valleys. Ihe Crystalline area includes a much larger portion of the State, embracing all those parts not m the Palaeozoic area that run north of a line drawn from northeast to southwest, through Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon and Columbus. Here are found granites, gneisses and schists, while on the border of the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas are found the marbles for which Georgia has become famous in every section of the Union. The marble belt traverses Fannin, Gilmer, Pickens and Cherokee counties, and the most important quarries are found in Pickens county 
Many localities 111 the Crystalline area are rich in granite and gneiss, and in several portions of this same area corundum is found in considerable quantities 
Before the discovery of gold in California the gold mines of Georgia were highly esteemed. For a time the excitement over the rich mines of California caused a great decrease in mining operations in Georgia. But in recent years there has been a freat 
..wakening m the gold region of the State. The gold deposits are found in four belts, of which the first runs through Rabun, Habersham, White, Lumpkin, Dawsori Forsyth, Cherokee Cobb, Bartow, Paulding and Haralson counties. The second belt traverses Rabun, Habersham, Hall, Gwinnett, Forsyth, Milton, DeKalb and Fulton

counties. A third gold belt passes across Cobb, Paulding and Carroll counties. There' is a fourth gold belt which passes through Lincoln, Columbia, McDuffie and Warren counties in the southwest part of the Crystalline area. In the counties of Towns, Union, Gilmer, Fannin and Meriwether are scattering deposits of gold. 
The coal fields of Georgia are mostly in Dade and Walker counties. The iron ores are in the Palaeozoic area, the brown ores being found in Bartow, Polk and Floyd counties, and the red ores being mined in Walker and Chattooga counties. There are large deposits of bauxite (or aluminum) in Georgia. The most extensive are in Floyd and Bartow counties, but this mineral is also found in Polk, Walker and Chattooga counties. Deposits of corundum occur in Rabun, Towns, Union, Habersham, Carroll and Heard counties. Near the Carolina line in Rabun county on Laurel creek is the largest corundum mine in Georgia and one of the most noted in the United States. Of other minerals pyrite is found in Lumpkin county, copper in Murray and Fannin counties; talc in Murray, Fannin and Cherokee; mica in Union and Fannin, and barite in Bartow. Near the town of Emerson, in Bartow county, graphite abounds. Several precious stones are found in Georgia: amethysts in Rabun county; a few diamonds in Hall; some good, moonstones in Upson county, and in the northeast part of the Crystalline area have been found rubies and sapphires of small size. Limestone for calcimining is found not only in the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas in Northwest and Northeast Georgia, but also in localities in the coastal plain region which includes all the Southern part of Georgia. In this coastal plain region marls and phosphate abound. Limestone for building purposes is found in beds throughout the counties embraced in the Palaeozoic area and in Hall and Habersham counties of the Crystalline area. Through all that part of Georgia north of what is called the fall line, which runs from Augusta through Macon to Columbus, are found clays suitable for the manufacture of common brick and the coarser grades of earthenware. Immediately below this fall line there is a narrow belt running across the State in which are found clays suitable for the manufacture of porcelain, enameled brick, china ware, terra cotta, sewer pipe, etc. The annual output of all the minerals of Georgia is about $6,000,000. 
MINERAL SPRINGS are found in Georgia in the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas. Among those of medicinal value are chalybeate, sulphurous and lithia waters. According to the report of the United States Geological Survey, the output of the mineral waters of Georgia in 1898 was 197,100 gallons, valued at $39,230. 
ARTESIAN WELLS are confined, with a few exceptions, to the coastal plain region. Almost all this portion of the State is underlaid by pervious beds, which, when pierced by the drill, furnish large quantities of pure, wholesome water. Not all of these water-bearing beds furnish flowing' wells. But those non-flowing wells furnish large quantities of pure water, which can be brought to the surface by pumps. 
The average depth of the wells already bored is about 450 feet. The various strata penetrated consist of soft limestones, clays and sands. Thus the wells can be had for very little outlay of money. 
The sanitary advantages that have resulted to many towns and localities all over the South Georgia coastal plain through the pure, wholesome drinking water of the artesian wells, are seen in the fact that sections once dreaded as malarial and sickly are

how considered among the most salubrious in the State and are increasing- more rapidly in population than even the hill country of North Georgia. The following towns are now supplied with water from artesian wells: Abbeville, Albany, Americus, Arlington, Bainbridge, Blakely, Brunswick, Buena Vista, Cairo, Camilla, Columbus, Cordele, Dawson, Dublin, Fitzgerald, Fort Gaines, Hazlehurst, Louisville, Lyons, McRae, Marshallville, Montezuma, Moultrie, Nashville, Oglethorpe, Quitman, Richland, Saint Mary's, Sandersville, Savannah, Smithville, Thomasville. Thomson,* Tifton, Valdosta, Vienna, Waycross, Waynesboro, Wrightsville. 
WATER POWERS.--The streams of Georgia furnish water powers in numerous localities in varying amounts from the little cascade that runs a small neighborhood mill, to the great shoals and falls that furnish from 20,000 to 30,000 horse powers, and run mighty flouring mills and cotton factories. 
With the exception of a few notable cases, the largest water powers of Georgia occur at or just above what is known as the Southern Fall Line, running from Augusta on the northeast down through Macon in Central Georgia to Columbus on the southwest, where the streams pass from the hard rocks of the Crystalline area to the softer formations of the coastal plain; and on the western Fall Line, formed by the contact of the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas in the northwest, passing through 
Polk, Bartow, Gordon, and Murray counties. Along these fall lines are located the larger water powers. But numerous other 
powers are to be found at various points on different streams throughout the State. 
MANUEACTURES.--Georgia, on account of her progressive spirit, displayed especially in manufacturing enterprises and railroad construction, received in the early thirties the proud title, "Empire State of the South," and this title she still worthily wears. By the United States census reports of 1900 there were 7,504 manufacturingestablishments in Georgia, with a total capital of $89,789,656, employing 83,842 persons and turning out products valued at $106,654,527. Of these establishments, 3,015--having a capital of $79,303,316, employing 83,336 wage-earners and manufacturing products valued at $94,532,368--were selected for comparison with a class of establishments included in the census of 1905, when the number of establishments reported was 3,219, the capital $135,211,551, the number of wage earners 92,749 and the value of products $151,040,455. The percentage of increase in this class was therefore 6.8 per cent, in the number of establishments, 70.5 per cent, in capital, 11.3 per cent, in the number of wage-earners, and 59.8 per cent, in the value of products. 
By the twelfth census there were in Georgia 68 cotton mills, with 817,345 spindles and 19,398 looms. In United States bulletin Number 63, on the supply and distribution of'cotton for the year ending August 31, 1906, Georgia makes the following showing: 138 establishments (or mills), 1,573.45 spindles, of which 26,452 were idle and 1,546,998 in operation. The number of active spindles in 1905 was 1,331,765. Thus there was an increase of 215,233 active spindles from 1905 to 1906. The cotton taken for consumption in 1906 was 510,329 bales, the cotton consumed was 513,814 bales, weighing 248,649,791 pounds. The ratio of consumption to production m 1905 was 23.9 per cent., and in 1906 it was 29.2 per cent. The average gross weight of 
the Georgia bale was 483.7 pounds. The number of looms in Georgia is about 32,000. In bleached cotton goods Georgia stands fourth in the Union with 24,265,583 
square yards The cotton gins, which in 1900 numbered. 4,720. running for four months, have increased to more than 8,000, in about 4.700 establishments or ginneries. It was while Eli Whitney was living in Georgia that he invented the cotton gin.

Electric lines traverse not only all the large cities, but many of the smaller cities and towns, connecting them with their suburbs and in many instances with neighboring towns. The grand trunk lines are very energetic in advertising the advantages of the sections through which they pass, the Southern and Central being especially noted for the good work which they are doing for Georgia. 
 
GOOD ROADS.--The number of good country roads is rapidly increasing all over the State. Among the best are the roads running out from Atlanta to College Park, Peachtree Creek, the water-works and Decatur. Many miles of well-graded macadamized roads are found in the counties of Fulton, Floyd, Bartow, Bibb, Richmond, Jefferson, Emanuel, Spalding, Meriwether and Chatham. The shellroad from Savannah to Bonaventure and Thunderbolt, also the road from that city to Beaulieu and Isle of Hope, were noted before the Civil War. Some of the macadamized roads leading out from Rome, in Floyd county, are built of hard limestone and marble. Tbe country roads which radiate from Augusta and Macon, forming the favorite drives of the citizens, are among the best. The same may be said of the shellroacls of Glynn county centering in the city of Brunswick, and of the well-graded drives through the fragrant pines that go out from Thomasville into the surrounding country. 
 
MAIL FACILITIES.--Not only do the cities and towns of Georgia have the best of mail facilities, but through the bounty of "Uncle Sam," the farmers in every section have the rural free delivery, which furnishes them letters and daily papers on the date of publication. 
BANKS.--By the report of the State Treasurer for the year 1906, there were in Georgia 83 national banks with a paid in capital of $8,076,700, and individual deposits of $29,561,709. There are 418 State banks with $16,906,292 capital, and over $42,000,000 deposits. 
ASSESSED VALUATION.--In 1900, according to the report of the Comptroller-General, the assessed valuation of property in Georgia was $434,336,134; in 1906 it was $624,465,472. The true valuation is double this amount, or $1,248,930,944. The bonded debt was $7,531,500 net, and the tax rate was $5.30 per $1,000. 
EDUCATION.--Georgia is well provided with schools, both public and private. The public school system is an excellent one, and is constantly being improved. , 
It embraces 7,700 schools, of which 4,919 are for white children, and 2,781 for colored. Of a total of 9,180 teachers, 5,997 are white and 3,183 colored. Of teachers who have enjoyed a normal school training, there are 1,791 white and 447 colored, 2,238 in all. The number of pupils enrolled in 1902 was 258,984 white and 216,359 colored, being a total of 439,645. 
The average daily attendance was 159,562 white and 105,826 colored, a total of 265,388. One of the leading higher institutions of learning in the State is the University of Georgia, of which the principal buildings are at Athens. This has numerous branches, as follows: North Georgia Agricultural College, at Dahlonega; Georgia School of Technology, at Atlanta; Georgia Normal and Industrial College for Ladies, at Milledgeville; Georgia State Normal College for both sexes, at Athens; Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths, near Savannah. 
Several other noted schools are affiliated with the University of Georgia, but do not receive State funds. These are: South Georgia Military and Agricultural College, at Thomasville; Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, at Hamilton. The

Augusta Medical College is one of the departments of the State University. In Atlanta are two medical colleges, and one dental college. 
Two of the most noted colleges in the South are in Georgia : Emory College, at Oxford, the property of the North and South Georgia and Florida Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church (South), and Mercer University, the property of the Baptists of Georgia. 
The first college in the world chartered for the purpose of bestowing literary degrees upon ladies is Wesleyan Female College, at Macon, the property of the Methodists of Georgia and Florida. Shorter College, a Baptist institution, at Rome, was built and endowed by Alfred Shorter, of Rome, and Agnes Scott Institute, at Decatur, was built by Colonel George W. Scott, liberally endowed and turned over to the Presbyterian Synod of Georgia. Lucy Cobb Institute, at Athens, was founded mostly through the efforts of General Thomas R. R. Cobb, one of Georgia's greatest orators and most gallant soldiers. Other excellent colleges are: Southern Female College College Park, near Atlanta; Southern Female College, at LaGrange; LaGrange Female College, at EaGrange; Andrew Female College, at Cuthbert; Monroe Female College, at Forsyth; St. Stanislaus College for Roman Catholic priests, near Macon; Young L. Harris Institute, at the town of Young Harris; Brenau Female College at Gainesville; Piedmont Institute, Rockmart; South Georgia College, at McRae With the exception of the State Industrial College for Colored Youth, at College, near Savannah all the above-named institutions are for whites exclusively. 
For the colored people there are the following institutions : Atlanta University Clark University, Spellman Seminary, Morris Brown College, and Gammon University' all at Atlanta; Payne Institute, at Augusta, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In the private schools and colleges of Georgia, are 10,097 whites and 4,877 colored pupils, being a total of 14,974. 
RELIGION.--The leading Christian denominations are well represented in Georgia the Baptists and Methodists being the most powerful in numbers wealth and influence' The Baptists have a total active membership of 368,000. The church buildings number 3 586. In their Sunday-schools are 76,052 pupils. The Methodists have 272 000 members, 3,205 churches and 117,828 Sunday-school pupils.

STATE GOVERNMENT.--The present constitution of the State of Georgia, which was adopted in 1877, guards carefully the rights of the people and prevents extravagant appropriations by the Legislature. The governor is elected for two years and can be re-elected for a second term; after that he retires. His salary is $5,000 per annum. The State House officers are as follows: Attorney-General, Comptroller-General, Adjutant-General, Treasurer, Secretary of State, State School Commissioner, Commissioner of Agriculture, State Geologist, State Librarian, Commissioner of Pensions, three Prison Commissioners and three Railroad Commissioners. 
The Supreme Court consists of one Chief Justice and five Associate Justices. There are twenty-four Superior Court Circuits, each having a judge and solicitor. Georgia is represented in the National Congress by two Senators and eleven Representatives. Thus the State has thirteen votes in the electoral college. 
 
POEITICAE DIVISIONS AND POPULATION.--Georgia has 146 counties, enjoying such privileges of self-government, that one of the United States government publications speaks of them as so many little commonwealths. As has been said already, the populatoin of Georgia has shown a steady increase from the first census in 1790 to the last estimate of the U. S. Census Bureau in 1906. 
We give here the population of Georgia at each Federal census: 
 
82,548 in 1790. 162,686 in 1800. 252,433 in 1810. 340,983 in 1820.

1.837.353 m I* 2,216,331 in 1900. 2,443,719 in 1906. 
 
The total white population in 1900 was 1,181,109, anc' the total negro population was 1,034,998. There were besides 204 Chinese, 1 Jap and 19 Indians. The foreignborn population numbered 7,603 males and 4,800 females, a total of 12,403. 
There are 372 incorporated places in Georgia, of which 40 had a population in 1900 of more than 2,000. Of these, 13 had a population in excess of 5,000 Atlanta, the capital, had 89,872, and by the report of the United States Census Bureau it had 104,984 in 1906. Savannah, the chief seaport, had 54,244, and by the U. S. Census report for 1906, contains in the coporate limits 68,000 inhabitants. Augusta, the greatest cotton manufacturing city of the South, had 39,441, but now has 43,000. By the same report, Macon, which had 23,272, has now 32,692. Columbus, the second great cotton manufacturing city of the South, had 17,614, and is now estimated to contain 20,000 inhabitants, although the U. S. Census report gives it only 17,800 for 1906. The other cities of Georgia, which in 1900 had a population in excess of 5,000, are: Athens, 10,245; Brunswick, 9,081; Americus, 7,674; Rome, 7,291; and including suburbs, 14,000; Griffin, 6,857; Waycross, 5,919; Valdosta, 5,613; Thomasville, 5,322.* 
Some other important and rapidly-growing towns of Georgia are here given with their population in 1900 : Cartersville, 3,135 ; Cedartown, 2,823 ; Dalton, 4,315 ; Gainesville, 4,382; Toccoa, 2,176; Marietta, 4,446; Elberton. 3,834; Covington, 2,062; Milledgeville, 4,219 (the former capital of the State); AVashington, 3,300; Barnesville. 
 
* Of these towns the U. S. Census Report for 1906 gives to Athens ir,2irinhabitants, Brunswick 9,453, but does not estimate the population of any place that fell below 8,000 in 1900.

GEORGIA BY SECTIONS 
 
NORTH GEORGIA.--This section of the State was the home of the Cherokee Indians until 1838, when these original owners of the soil were moved to lands west of the Mississippi river provided for them by the government of the United States. Although in Dade and Walker counties are found the coal mines of Georgia, the lands there are also very productive of wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, hay, clover, Irish potatoes, and vegetables common to both the North and South. Lookout' Valley, in Dade, McLemore's Cove, Peavine, Armuchee and Chickamauga valleys in Walker, can not be excelled in fertility by any lands of Georgia. The vacant lands, woods and mountain slopes afford splendid range for stock, such as sheep, cattle and swine, all of which are raised throughout this section in considerable numbers. 
Chickamauga Creek and Chattooga river afford fine water powers, which have been well utilized. 
 
COUNTIES OE NORTHWEST GEORGIA.--Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Gordon, Chattooga, Floyd, Bartow, Polk, Paulding, Cobb, Cherokee, Pickens, Gilmer and Fannin should all be included in northwest Georgia. This section is rich in minerals, such as coal, iron, ochre, manganese, bauxite (aluminum), and gold, and abounds also in the finest marble. The Georgia marble quarried in Pickens, Cherokee and Gilmer counties varies from pure white to pink, gray, chocolate brown and dark green, and has been employed in the construction of noted buildings in every part of the Union. No higher tribute to its excellence can be given than the fact that with Vermont so nearby, Georgia marble has been employed in the structure of the State capitals of Rhode Island and Maine, St. Luke's Hospital and the New Stock Exchange in New York, and the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington. To the list of buildings which have used Georgia marble in their construction we must add the United States Government Building at Boston, Massachusetts, and the State capitol of Minnesota, and in the interior finish the Georgia capital and the Piedmont Hotel, in Atlanta. The magnificent Candler Building, in Atlanta, said to be the finest in the South, and equal to any in the whole Union for beauty, is built entirely of Georgia marble. From Holly Springs, in Cherokee county, beautiful serpentine has been procured for the decoration of buildings, as may be seen, in Chicago and in the Prudential Building of Atlanta. Monoliths of Georgia marble suitable for huge columns can be quarried with ease near Graysville, in Catoosa county. In Taylor's Ridge and neighboring mountains, sandstone has been quarried to a large ex- 
 
tent. 
 
. 
 
Yellow ochre, a kind of iron ore used in the manufacture of paint, abounds in Bar- 
 
tow county, and much of it has been shipped to England to be used in the manufac- 
 
ture of linoleum. At Emerson, in the same county, is a factory for the manufacture 
 
of hydraulic cement, and nearby are quantities of iron ore. Graphite also is mined 
 
here. (37)

GEORGIA'S RESOURCES AND ADVANTAGES. 
 
This beautiful section of the State, in addition to its mineral wealth, has some of the finest lands in Georgia. The bottom and valley lands are very fertile, producing the finest of the wheat, rye and oats, splendid crops of corn, every vegetable grown in the North and South, and on some of the lands is grown the best of upland cotton, which, from its superior quality, commands the highest prices in the market. On the hill slopes are orchards of peaches, apples and the various small fruits. Berries of every variety, and of the finest quality, are raised for home consumption, and for the western markets. 
Manufacture, commerce and agriculture all combine to make a busy, prosperous country. Hence growing cities and towns are found on its lines of railway. 
Rome, in Floyd county, the largest city of Northwest Georgia, has a very picturesque situation on hills and in the valleys between the Etowah and Oostenaula, at the point where they unite to form the Coosa. It is a great railroad center, and at the same time has a good steamboat trade on the Oostenaula and Coosa. It has street cars, electric lights, water-works, manufactures of iron, cotton, furniture, etc. It has handsome residences and public buildings, a good system of public schools, is the seat of Shorter College for ladies, and is well supplied with churches of the different Christian denominations. Population, including suburbs, 14,000; in the corporate limits, 7,291, of whom 4,557 are white and 2,834 colored. 
Floyd is a great agricultural county, yielding bountifully grasses, clover, and all the cereals, many of the lands easily yielding 50 bushels of corn and 40 of wheat to the acre, and producing besides, the best quality of upland cotton. In fruits and berries, Floyd is unsurpassed. Pecan trees also bear well in Floyd. 
Cave Spring, in the beautiful and fertile Vann's Valley, has in its limits a large limestone cave in the side of a well-wooded hill, at the foot of which is a spring of clear, mild limestone water. This town is noted as the seat of the Georgia Academy for the Deaf and Dumb, and also contains Hearn Institute. Hearn Female Seminary and the Wesleyan Institute. Here also is a plant for steel and manganese, and an electric plant. 
At Lindale the proprietors of the great cotton factory have erected an elegant school building with library and reading room lighted by electricity for the benefit of the operatives. The lands in and around Rome, as a center, range from $10 to $100 an acre, according to location and fertility. 
Marietta, in Cobb county, 1,100 feet above sea-level, is the next largest town of this section, having a population of 4,446, of which 2,516 are white and 1,930 colored. Not far from the foot of the double-peaked Kennesaw Mountain, it has pure water a fine climate, good schools, is well supplied with churches, has water-works, a telephone system, is lighted by electricity, has the largest chair factory and largest paper mill in the State, four marble yards, a large plant for furnishing marble, a canning factory, a creamery and other industries. In the beautiful national cemetery are buried 10,000 Federal soldiers. At Kennesaw Mountain was fought one of the great battles of' the Atlanta campaign of 1864. 
In the northeastern part of Cobb county the splendid water power of the Chattahoochee has built up Roswell, a growing manufacturing town, with two large cotton factories and a woolen mill. 
At the town of Powder Springs are mineral waters highly impregnated with sulphur and magnesia. 
Acworth, like Marietta, on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, is in the midst of a fine agricultural country, and has a large flouring mill, a chair factory and variety of

works for turning out mantels and wheelbarrows, is lighted by electricity and has waterworks and telephone connections. The surrounding country is also rich in minerals. Cobb county has some lands which readily yield 50 bushels of corn and 40 of wheat to the acre, and also makes good yields of cotton of a superior quality. It is noted also for fine commercial peach orchards, and raises in profusion all kinds of fruits, berries and vegetables. The large poultry farm, near Smyrna, is one of the great enterprises of the county. The price of lands in this country vary from $15 to $100 an acre. 
Dalton, in Whitfield county, comes closest to Marietta in size, having a population of 4,315, of whom 3,356 are white and 959 colored. Tike Rome and Marietta, it is well supplied with churches and schools, has gas, electric light and telephone system and water-works, large cotton and flouring mills, canneries and flourshing commercial houses. There is also here a college for young ladies. Dalton has a pretty situation on the Western and Atlantic and Southern railways, in a fertile valley, just east of Rocky Face and Chattooga mountains. Though reaching to the Tennessee line, Whitfield county, in addition to fine crops of cereals, produces cotton of a fine quality, and, like Floyd, Bartow and Cobb, has good dairy farms well stocked with Jerseys and other good breeds. Fruit and vegetables are raised in abundance. 
Between Dalton and Marietta, on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, is Cartersville, in Bartow county, the terminus of the East and West Railroad, which runs in a southwesterly direction into the State of Alabama. All around this thriving little city are fine cotton, corn and wheat lands, and in close proximity are beds of iron ore and manganese. Ochre is extensively mined, and Cartersville ranks first in the county in the manufacture of ochre, and second in the shipment of manganese. It has a population f 3>I35> of which the whites number 1,680 and the blacks 1,455. Cartersville has the conveniences of larger places, such as gas and electric lights, ice factory and water-works. It also has manufactories of iron and steel. Bartow county is not only a fine agricultural region, but is full of manufacturing plants of every kind and enterprising towns and villages, such as Adairsville, which has one of the largest flouring mills in Georgia; Emerson, with its cement and plater works; Cassville, with its tannery, and Allatoona, with its gold stamping-mill. 
All through the county, in town and country, are schools and churches. 
Polk is a good county for all farm stock. Many of the lands have rich soil, and those of Cedar Valley, through which runs Cedar Creek, are equal to the lands in the blue grass region of Kentucky. They double in some crops the productiveness of other lands that are rated as good, and with other crops more than double them. 
Cedartown, the county-site, so named from the growth of cedar in its vicinity, on tin' former Chattanooga, Rome and Southern Railway, now a part of the Central of Georgia railway system, at the point where it is crossed by the East and West Railway, has manufactories of cotton, cotton-seed oil, knitting mills, an iron furnace, electric power cotton gin, a system of water-works owned by the city, an electic' light plant and a telephone system. Population, 2,823--white, 2,067, colored, 756. The State quarry near Rockmart seems to have an inexhaustible supply of slate for roofing. At this place is the flourishing Piedmont Institute for boys and girls. 
Chattooga is a county of market gardens, orchards, minerals and manufactories on a large scale. Splendid crops are raised of corn, wheat, oats, Irish and sweet potatoes, also some cotton. It is a fine country for hay. No finer peaches or strawberries are raised anywhere than on its hills and ridges. 
Iron, bauxite, clay, limestone, manganese, coal, slate, talc and sandstone abound.

Iron is mined at Dirtseller Mountain, near the town of Lyerly, at Shinbone Ridge neai Menlo, and Taylor's Ridge, near Summerville, and in the town limits of Summerville, bauxite is mined. Red iron ore is found in six different veins. Chert is shipped from the neighborhood of Summerville in great quantities. This well-built town is surrounded by prosperous farms cultivated after the most approved methods. Near by also are large 
cotton mills. Trion, with its extensive mills, is the largest town in the county (population 
1,926). It has electric lights and telephone connections. Flour, grist, saw mills and tanneries are scattered over the county, and schools and 
churches are in every neighborhood. In this county are the beautiful and fertile valleys of Chattooga, Broomtown and 
Armuchee. 
Catoosa county has fine farming lands with prosperous farms and gardens and rich deposits of building stones, of which the sa dstones and limestones are of superior quality. In this county is the noted health resort known as Catoosa Springs, famed for the varied mineral waters. The county has flour, grist and lumber mills and is well supplied with schools and churches. Ring-gold is its county-site, beautifully situated on the north and west of Taylor's Ridge. Named for the gallant Marylander who lost his life in the first battle of the Mexican war, this little town was itself the scene of the gallant combat by which General Cleburne, in November, 1863, saved the artillery and trains of Bragg's defeated army, for which he and his troops received the thanks of the Confederate Congress. 
Gordon county, well watered by the Oostenaula, Coosawattee and Connesauga rivers, has soils similar to those of Floyd and Bartow, producing the finest of wheat, oats, rye, corn, potatoes of both kinds, every variety of vegetables and cotton of good quality. It i's also a good fruit county. It has deposits of bauxite, limestone, iron and, near the town of Calhoun, black and variegated marbles, T~>e nn'ce of lands is from $5 to $50 
per acre, or 50 per cent, increase since 1900. Most of the products of the county are marketed at Calhoun, situated in the rich 
valley of the Oostenaula, on the Western and Atlantic Railway, and having water-works and telephone connection. Resaca, named for the second battle of the Mexican war, was itself the scene of fierce fighting in May, 1864, as was also Lay's Ferry. 
Flour and grist mills, a large brickyard and many small industries and good commercial houses add to the comforts of the people. Schools and churches are scattered 
all over the county. 
Paulding county has fine bodies of land along the Tallapoosa river, Pumpkinvine, Sweetwater, and other creeks, yielding abundantly of the crops already mentioned as 
produced by other counties of this section. During the campaign of 1864, for ten days, from May 25 to June 4, there was con- 
stant fighting along the line of Pumpkinvine creek from Dallas to Allatoona, marked by the fierce combats of New Hope church, Pickett's Mill and Dallas, the whole series of battles and skirmishes being called by both Johnston and Sherman the battle of New Hope Church, and pronounced by Sherman a drawn battle. 
There are good water powers on some of the streams, and some of them are utilized 
by grist mills. With plenty of good freestone water and a healthful climate and schools and 
churches, this is a fine country in which to make a home. Dallas, the county-site, has 
electric light and telephone connection. Murray county, traversed by a branch of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, and

in easy distance of the two other great lines, has also through the Coosawattee, which empties into the Oostenaula, steamboat transportation to Rome, the leading market of Northwest Georgia. The Western and Atlantic Railroad runs close to its southwestern line, and Dalton, in Whitfield county, where this road crosses the Southern Railway is the chief market for a lare part of Murray county. Well watered by the Connesauga and Coosawattee rivers and their branches, the lands are fertile, producing in abundance the crops already mentioned in the counties of this section, and affording also fine pasturage for sheep and cattle. This county is rich in minerals, and on the Cohutta Mountains, which cross its eastern section, profitable mining has been done 
Along this beautiful range in sheltered orchards some of the most luscious fruit is grown. 
Spring Place, the county-site, in the midst of charming scenery, with the Cohutta Mountains m full view, has a handsome court-house, good schools and churches which are scattered also over every section of the county. 
All over the county are mineral springs, of which the Cohutta Springs, ten miles from Spring Place, are the most noted. 
 
Cherokee, Gilmer, Pickens and Fannin are traversed by the Atlanta, Knoxville and 
 
Northern Railways, from which, at Blue Ridge, the county-site of Fannin, a growing 
 
town with electric lights and telephone connection, there runs off a branch road 
 
to the northeast. These countes have already been mentioned as famous foi 
 
their rich veins of beautiful marble of several varieties. Cherokee is also one 
 
of the chief gold mmmg counties of Georgia, and has besides deposits of iron mica talc 
 
marble and other minerals. Near Canton, the county-site, is a spring, strongly im- 
 
pregnated with alum and noted for great curative powers. This town, beautifully sit- 
 
uated on an eminence around whose base flows the Etowah river, has a cotton mill a 
 
mill for sawing and finishing marble, and for monumental work, and enjoys telephone

negroes in Fannin county number only 296 in a total population of 11,214, and in Gilmer county 77 out of a total of 10,198. 
THE EASTERN SECTION of North Georgia embraces the counties of Forsyth, Dawson, Lumpkin, Union, Towns, White, Hall, Rabun, Habersham, Stephens, Banks, Frank- 
lin and Hart. 
Rabun, Towns and Union form the northern tier of these counties. Close to the northwestern corner of Union county passes the railroad that runs from Blue Ridge, in Fannin county, to Murphy, in North Carolina, and a road from Tallulah Falls running northward through Rabun to Franklin, in North Carolina, is rapidly approaching completion, being already operated from Cornelia to the North Carolina line. With these exceptions, this part of the mountain section of Georgia is without railroad facilities. The counties of White, Lumpkin, Dawspn and Forsyth are as yet without such advantages. In Towns there is abundance of granite and serpentine quarries for building. Iron, chrome, magnetite, manganese, asbestos, talc, ochre, yellow and red plumbago, buhr, some gems and plenty of corundum are found. At Tate City, there is a large plant for mining corundum. The mountain streams afford fine water powers. At Young Harris is a Methodist college, and at Hiawassee is one belonging to the Baptists. 
In the western part of Union are found iron ore, alum, sulphate of iron and granite quartz. There are large quarries of millstone of excellent quality. On Ivy Log, Brass Town and Coosa creek gold has been found, and also variegated marble. 
The mineral products of Rabun are gold, copper, corundum, mica, asbestos and sandstone. Iron, carbonate of iron and alum are found. 
The celebrated Tallulah Falls, a succession of beautiful cascades and a grand chasm afford some of the most picturesque views in the United States. 
The apples, cabbages and chestnuts produced in this part of the State are very fine. 
Lumpkin county is in the heart of the gold belt of Georgia. Many millions of dollars have been taken from its mines, and for the last half century the vicinity _ of Dahlonega, its county-site, has been the center of the most extensive gold mining operations of Georgia. Just east of Dahlonega is a long line of high ridges and hills extending many miles to the southeast, which form the axis of the gold belt and are covered all over with the prospector's pits, cuts and tunnels. There are twelve gold mines now in operation paying good dividends. In almost every part of the county gold is found and the evidence of its existence everywhere meets the eye. 
Dahlonega, with a population of 1,255, stretches along a high hill, commanding a fine view of Walker's Mossy Creek and Yonah mountains. This town has electric 
lights and telephone connections. In White county, which was formed from Lumpkin and Habersham counties, 
were discovered the first gold mines in Georgia. Gold and asbestos are still mined to a considerable extent. There are several mines of gold and quarries of asbestos and 
five successful gold mills. The beautiful Nacoochee Valley, as fertile as it is fair, is in White county. Dawson county is also in the gold region. On nearly every branch that flows 
into the Etowah from its north side is a placer gold mine and from the bed of the river itself large quantities of gold have been taken and washed out with an iron pan, rewarding well the labor thus employed. In this county are the falls of Amicalola, from the summit of which the appearance of the range of mountains to the south, and 
west, can scarcely be surpassed in grandeur. Forsyth is another gold county. Some of the mines have yielded large amounts

of g5uoilud.. Much of the scenery is beautiful, especially in the neighborhood of Currl' s>:. the county site. Some silver and copper have been found in this county In Hall county there are profitable gold mines and iron, lead and silver are found 
in small quantities. Large quantities of brick and lime are made and there is a large supply of building stones. This county has several valuable water powers aggregating 6,000 horse-powers, some of which are utilized by flour and grist mills. 
Gainesville, the county site, on the Southern Railway, about 53 miles from Atlanta, is a growing city in a fine farming county, with manufacturing establishments of many kinds including great cotton mills in and around its corporate limits. The electric light plant and waterworks are owned by the city, which also has a telephone system. The Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern Railway connects Gainesville with Monroe and Social Circle in Walton county, and by another branch with Jefferson in Jackson county. Gainesville's total population is 4,382, of which 3,196 are white and 1,186 are colored. In this city are Brenau College and Conservatory of Music for ladies and the Georgia Military Institute for young men. Later estimates place the population of Gainesville at 6,500. 
In Habersham county are found iron ore of superior quality, while granite of the very best is found in apparently an inexhaustible supply. There are also large deposits of gold, copper, manganese, ochre, marble, slate, graphite, mica, talc and sandstone. Asbestos is being profitably worked. Demorest, on the Tallulah Falls Railway, has a good trade and commands from all sides a lovely view. Clarkesville, on the same railway, from its high ridge near the Soque river, presents to the eye of the tourist a magnificent view of the surrounding country. 
Cornelia is a growing place on the Southern Railway with several manufacturing plants. This town and Clarkesville have both telephone connections. 
Toccoa, the county site of the new county of Stephens, on the Southern Railway at the junction of the Elberton branch with the main trunk line, is a thriving town of between two and three thousand inhabitants, has cotton and fertilizer factories, lumber mills, electric lights, telephone connections and waterworks. Within three mile's of the town is the beautiful fall of Toccoa. The price of lands in Stephens county is 100 per cent. higher than in 1900. 
Banks, Franklin and Hart complete the list of North Georgia counties These are fine agricultural counties, but in Franklin and Hart there are also extensive manufactories, especially in and around Lavonia and Royston in Franklin county and in Hartwell and vicinity in Hart county. Lavonia, the largest town in Franklin county on a branch of the Southern Railway, has in the town and suburbs, a population of 2,093. Carnesville, the county site of Franklin, has planing mills, a chair factory and flour mill. All these towns have telephone facilities and Hartwell and Royston 'have electric lights. At Hartwell is the Hartwell Collegiate Institute. 
All these Northeast Georgia counties have splendid lands for the production of the staple crops which we have alreaady named in the counties of Northwest Georgia, excellent also for vegetables and fruits. In the upper tier of the mountain counties cotton is not raised. In many localities tobacco is cultivated and some of the farmers make a fair profit from its sale. Splendid apples are raised all over North Georgia and the most luscious peaches are produced in the great orchards that dot the tops and slopes of the hills in all the counties traversed by the various lines of railway on the western side and the Southern Railway and its branches on the eastern Mr. I. C. Wade, a Northern gentleman and ex-Union soldier, at one time land and industrial agent of the Southern Railway, now makes his home at Cornelia and con-

tricts. Again, although through Middle Georgia we have corn, wheat, oats, rye, and other crops like those of North Georgia, let it be remembered that this is the home of cotton, the chief money crop of this section. 
After the close of the war of the Revolution, beginning at the eastern counties, the immigrants who poured into Georgia from Virginia and the Carolinas, rapidly extended their settlements westward, encroaching more and more upon the lands of the Indians, until after the removal of the various nations of the Creeks beyon'1 the Mississippi the whole of Middle Georgia became the home of the white man, \'ho, with his negro servants, opened up field after field and built towns and villages. Among the early settlers the Virginians were so numerous that the Indians, as we are told by Governor Gilmer, nearly always spoke of the Georgians as Virginians. 
As towns grew up and became centres of trade, railroads from the eastern side of the State were built to reach them. First came the Georgia Railroad, running from Augusta up into the Piedmont section, then the Central from Savannah. These roads, with their numerous branches, soon brought all the important towns of Middle Georgia into communication with each other and they began to grow rapidly in wealth and importance. The Georgia railroad was begun in 1833 and was largely owned by residents of Augusta, while the Central was a great enterprise of the citizens of Savannah and was begun a short while after the Georgia Railroad. The chief cities of Middle Georgia in the order of their size are Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Columbus and Athens. While railroads have been a very important factor in their upbuilding, they owe their chief importance to the fact that they furnish the most convenient markets for the rich upland agricultural region in which they are located and have abundance of cotton, lumber and other materials necessary for manufacturing. 
The splendid water powers found all through the Middle Georgia counties began to be utilized way back in the thirties and flour, grist and cotton mills began to spring up on every side. Agriculture, railroads and manufactures conspired to build up all the 
cities and towns of this section. 
Atlanta, the youngest of all these cities, is now the largest city between Washington and New Orleans. In 1837 the Southeastern terminus of the Western and Atlantic railroad was established near where the Union Passenger Depot now stands (1907), and Terminus was the name given to the site thus chosen. Soon afterwards the Georgia railroad was extended to this point. The Macon and Western came next and the new railroad center was in 1843 named Marthasville, in compliment to the daughter of ex-Governor Lumpkin, who had been distinguished by his great interest in railroad enterprises in Georgia. On the 29th of December, 1847, the legislature incorporated as the city of Atlanta the new town which was already giving evidence of rapid growth. Its name is derived from Atlantic, because it was considered as the gateway for trade from the west seeking a passage through Georgia to the Atlantic ocean. Hence also the title "Gate City," often applied to it. By the United States census of 1850 the population was 2,572. Until 1853 it was in the limits of DeKalb county, of which Decatur was, as it still is, the county site. In that year the county of Fulton was formed and Atlanta made the county site. By the census of i860 the population of Atlanta was 9,554. During the Civil War it was the seat of important industries, the chief object of which was the upholding of the military power of the Confederate States. Hence it became the prize for which desperate battles were fought and at last was captured by the powerful army under General Sherman (September 2nd, 1864). When Sherman started to the sea (November 15th, 1864), he ordered everything burned except the mere dwelling houses and churches and no pre-

cautions were taken to prevent the spread of the flames. Only 450 houses, including dwellings and churches, escaped. Stores, workshops, mills, and most of the residences were reduced to ashes. Even before the close of hostilities in the following spring, the people began to return and rebuild the ruined city. Before the approach of the hostile army, the population of Atlanta had reached 14,000. There were very few of these who did not return, and, soon after peace had come to stay, new citizens from all over the South and North began to flock in and by the census of 1870, a little over five years from the time of its destruction, Atlanta numbered in its corporate limits 21,789 inhabitants. 
The city was made the capital of Georgia in 1868, and in 1877 the people of Georgia voted to make it their permanent capital. The handsome capitol building was erected on a lot donated by the city during the administration of Governor McDamel and cost $1,000,000. It enjoys the distinction of being one of the few public buildings in the United States, whose cost came within the appropriation set aoart for its completion. 
By the census of 1900, the population of Atlanta was 89,872, and, including the immediate suburbs, 103,000. The white population in the corporate limits was 53,908, and the colored 35,967. On every side are still to be seen the evidences of rapid . growth, and the United States Census estimate for 1906 gives it 104,984 inhabitants in its corporate limits. 
Atlanta is one of the best built cities of the United States. Handsome public and private buildings, splendid hotels, beautful churches and elegant school buildings bespeak enterprise and increasing wealth. Its miles of well paved streets extend out from the city into first class McAdamized roads. 
Electric cars bring it into close connection with all the suburban villages and towns and electric lights make its main thoroughfares at night almost as bright as day. In the city limits and in its vicinity are great manufactories of various kinds and its commerce is extensive and rapidly growing. Atlanta has, of course, a fine system of water and gas works and two telephone systems. 
Located in Atlanta are the Technological School for whites, Atlanta University and Clark University for colored, a law college, business colleges, medical colleges and two dental colleges. 
Besides Atlanta there are in Fulton county the following towns: East Point (population, 1,315), College Park (population, 517), Hapeville (population, 430), Oakland City (population, 823). At College Park is the Cox College, a well equipped and upto-date institution; at Hapeville, the Baptist Orphans' Home, and at East Point many important manufacturing plants. Hapeville is on the Central of Georgia railway in c ose connection with Atlanta. College Park and East Point are on both the steam and electric railway lines, as is also Marietta, in Cobb county. Edgewood, with a popula tion of 1,285. a suburb of Atlanta, is in DeKalb countv. All these are lighted by electrkity. and have telephone connections. 
Decatur, the county site of DeKalb, six miles from the Union Depot in Atlanta and connected with that city by the Georgia Railwav and two electric lines is the seat of Agnes Scott Institute for young ladies. Near bv is the Orphans Home of the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and in the vicinity are cotton mills and fertilizer factories. Population, 1,418. It has electric lights and telephone connections. 
The town of Stone Mountain on the Georgia Railroad, about ten miles northeast of Decatur, derives its name from a great mountain of granite 1,500 feet above the level

In this county granite is abundant, iron, quartz and buhrstone are found and there is some gold in the Chattahoochee river and at a few other points 
In Milton county, on the upper edge of Fulton, there is abundance of timber and stone for building purposes. Though no railroad passes through the county, the Southern Railway runs close to its boundary line and the price of lands has advanced 100 per cent, since 1900, selling now at from $6.00 to $100.00 per acre. Alpharetta the county town, has telephone connections. 
 
Douglas, Carroll and Haralson counties are brought into close touch with Atlanta by one of the lines of the Southern Railway. In each of these counties there is abundance of hard wood, and some pine. The water is cool and healthful the climate bracing. In Douglas county are the Lithia Springs, a favorite health resort whose waters are highly prized for their medicinal properties. 
 
In Carroll county gold, copper, iron, pyrites, mica and asbestos are found in work- 
 
able quantities. The gold is said to be of very, fine quality. Near Villa Rica, in an 
 
extent of country six miles long and one mile wide are several mines yielding' large 
 
amounts of gold. Quartz and granite are also found. Villa Rica has electric lights and 
 
telephone connections. 
 
',- 
 
Gold is mined extensively in Haralson county, also, and the Royal Gold Mine at Tallapoosa has a plant which cost $200,000. This is a great county for vineyards 
and near Tallapoosa are two wineries, one of which manufactures unfermented wine.

South. It has both gas and electric plants, waterworks, telephone systems. Price of land from $5.00 to $300.00 as in 1900. 
Commercially, Taliaferro, Glascock, Warren and Hancock, and also of those already named, Columbia, Lincoln and McDufne are in close touch with Augusta. 
Warrenton (population, 1,113), is the county site of Warren county, and is a profitable market for the vegetables, fruits and melons raised in the neighborhood. It has telephone advantages. 
Sparta, the county seat of Hancock county, on a branch of the Georgia Railroad, about half way between Augusta and Macon, is a thriving town, to which the products of the county are brought for market and shipment. There is at Sparta a cotton oil mill, a flourishing creamery and in its vicinity are some large peach orchards. Sparta has electric light and telephone connections. Asbestos, plumbago, kaolin and agate are found in Hancock county. Peaches, apples pears, pecans, and all the staple crops of Middle Georgia are found in this county. 
Macon, the county seat of Bibb county, and the fourth city in the State in population, is a great commercial, manufacturing and educational center. Here are some of the largest and most substantial wholesale houses in Georgia, five cotton mills spinning yarn, three knitting mills, three iron foundries, a cotton compress, large cotton oil mills and fertilizer establishments, waterworks, gas and electric lights and electric cars. 
Here are Wesleyan Female College, the first institution in the world chartered to give diplomas to ladies, Mercer University, a noted Baptist Institution, St. Stanislaus College, for Catholic priests, Mount de Snles Academy, for young ladies, a normal school for colored students, and the Academy for the Blind, a State institution with two departments, one for white and the other colored children, the one for whites being beyond the city limits. 
By the census of 1900, the population of Macon was 23,272, of which the whites numbered 11,711, and the colored, 11,561. But the suburban district of Vineville, with 7,787 inhabitants, and East Macon with 5,078, are really parts of the city, making a total population of 36,137. By the United States census report for 1906 the population was 32,692 in the corporate limits. 
In Jones county there is a fine vein of kaolin which is being utilized. This is a part of the great clay belt, which extends from Augusta southwesterly through Baldwin past Macon in Bibb county to Columbus in Muscogee county. It has veins extending down into Twiggs county to the south. Throughout the whole length and breadth of this belt the clays are very pure, of a beautiful white color and capable of standing a greater degree of heat than any other clays of the United States. 
In Butts county is the celebrated Indian Spring, a great health and pleasure resort, celebrated for the healing properties of its sulphur water. This county has flour and cotton mills and fertilizer factories. Jackson and Pepperton are neighboring 
towns and busy manufacturing centers. Jackson has a population of 1,487 and Pepperton 500. These towns have telephone connections. 
In Monroe county is Forsyth (population, 1,172), the seat of Monroe Female College. It is a handsome town with several prosperous industries. Barnesville is a growing city of Pike county, has two of the largest buggy factories in the South, and is the seat of one of the best schools of Georgia, the Gordon Institute. Its population is 3,036. Barnesville and Forsyth have telephones, electric lights and waterworks, and Zebulon, the county-site of Pike county, has telephones. 
Spalding is a county of good farms and many manufactories. Griffin, the county site, owns its own waterworks and electric-lights, has telephone connections, an ice

plant, cottonseed oil mills, planing mills, chair factory, five large cotton mills and manufactures more Turkish towels than are made anywhere in America. Near by is the United States Experiment Station for Georgia. The population of Griffin was 6,857 in 1900, the whites numbering 3,599, and the colored 3,258. In addition to the usual crops, there are orchards of peaches and apples, vineyards and a pecan grove. 
Upson county has fine water powers on Big Potato creek. Thomaston, the county seat (population, 1,714) has a cotton mill, electric lights and telephones. The R. E. Eee Institute is in Thomaston. On the east of Flint river are the Pine Mountains, the highest points of which are 800 feet above the river. 
Talbotton, the county seat of Talbot (population, 1,131), is in the center of a good farm and trucking country. It has two fine schools, Collinsworth Institute and LeVert Female College, four good public schools, and telephone advantages. 
Harris county has good farming lands and fine water powers. Columbus, the county site of Muscogee, is an important manufacturing city, well known for its splendid cotton mills. In addition to being a great railroad center, it enjoys the advantages of water transportation and has a fine steamboat trade with towns and the country along the Chattahoochee river. Augusta alone in the South excels Columbus in the manufacture of cotton goods, for which the fine waterpowers of the Chattahoochee afford splendid facilities. The population of the city in its corporate limits was 17,614 by the census of 1900. Of these, 10,337 were white and 7,277 colored. The population is now estimated at 20,000. Columbus has electric lights, telephones, water-works and electric car lines. Agriculture, manufacture, commerce, education and the influence of the churches have combined to make Middle Georgia one of the most desirable sections of the Union. Over large portions of Middle Georgia wheat is a profitable crop, yielding on very ordinary land eight, and on good lands from 15 to 40 bushels to the acre, and in some instances as high as 60 bushels to the acre. Corn ranges all the way from 10 to 50 bushels to the acre and in some instances has gone beyond 100 bushels. The peavine, often called the clover of the South, affords in its peas not only a nourishing food for stock, especially for milch cows, but also a wholesome diet for the table. The vines make the best of hay and the yield varies according to soil and cultivation from 2,000 to 14,000 pounds to the acre. The peavine is also one of the best of soil renovators. The vetches, sorghum and millet and, in the more northern counties of the section, clover, are cultivated for forage crops. Considerable quantities of sugarcane are raised, but it is in South Georgia that this is one of the leading crops. But Middle Georgia, together with the larger part of South Georgia, is the great cotton region of the State. The yield of this great money crop varies according to soil from 500 to 1500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, or from a third to a whole 500-pound bale to the acre. In every pound of seed cotton one-third is lint and two-thirds seed. The lint is manufactured into yarn and cloths of various kinds. Part of the seed is used for replanting, and great quantities of it are sold to the cottonseed oil mills, which manufacture from them oil and cottonseed meal and have left the hulls and linters, 
which also bring profitable prices. During the past season the high prices that have prevailed make the average value 
of Georgia"s cotton crop, including lint, oil, meal, hulls and linters equal to $100,000,000. The traveler going through Georgia can not judge the quality of the soil by what 
he sees from a train moving over a road that runs for the most part along the ridges. If he stops at some station and takes a ride out into the country, he will find rich

lands teeming w, h profitable crops, lie will also find farms where exhausted lands 
 
have, by a careful system of renovation and scientific culture, been brought back to he 
 
productiveness of the virgin toil. There are farms where skillful fanners have taken 
 
so-called worn-out lands and made them yield a bale of cotton to the acre and at the 
 
same time have added each year to the productiveness of the soil

The great peach orchards of Southern Georgia have a national reputation and their fame has even crossed the Atlantic. There are fine vineyards also in many places. 
In Southeast Georgia are some of the largest market gardens (truck farms) in the State, especially in the neighborhood of Brunswick and Savannah. 
All over the coastal plain from the Atlantic ocean to the Chattahoochee river on the western border of the State are extensive forests of long-leaf pine, producing annually millions of feet of lumber and gallons of spirits of turpentine, giving employment to sawmills, great and small, to railroads, steamboats, ships and merchants. 
As the forest lands are cleared, market gardens and flourishing farms spring up. The marls with the muck from swamps furnish a cheap fertilizer easy to be obtained. 
There are vast ranges for cattle and sheep, and of the latter there are some very large flocks, yielding a fine profit to their owners. Beef-cattle of the best breeds can, by recent discoveries, be rendered immune as to the cattle-tick and its resultant Texas fever, and with need for shelter but a short time during the winter, can be raised with great profit to the stock men. 
Though rice is grown in the upper counties of Georgia, the great rice crop of the State is that of Southeast Georgia. 
Southeast Georgia was the first settled portion of the State. Here Oglethorpe's first settlement was made at Savannah, and at Frederica, on St. Simon's Island, was his favorite home. Though of Frederica nothing remains but the ruins of the old fort and the memory of the defeat of the Spaniards at the "Bloody Marsh," across St. Simon's Sound, on the banks of the Turtle river, is the growing city of Brunswick, the second in size of Georgia's seaports. 
The chief cities of South Georgia are Savannah, Brunswick, Americus, Waycross Valdosta, Thomasville, Albany, Cordele, Dublin, Dawson, Cuthbert, Bainbridge, Quitman, Moultrie and Hawkinsville. 
Savannah is the oldest city of Georgia, its most important seaport and commercial center, ranking among the cities of the South, next to New Orleans in the value of its commerce, first in the world in the shipment of naval stores, and third as a cotton market. 
Savannah stands upon a bluff 46 feet above the level of the Savannah, and 18 miles from the sea. It is connected by water with every county of the Atlantic coastal plain, and by rail with every part of Georgia, and the railroads that radiate from it in all directions give it rapid connections with every quarter of the Union The Savannah, the first steamship that ever crossed the Atlantic, was owned in Savannah and the Ocean Steamship Company, of thai city, has the finest line of steamers to-day that ply between Northern and Southern ports. Among the exports of Savannah are not only the raw cotton, but also cotton goods from the factories of Georgia rice lumber and naval stores and fruits, melons and vegetables from the orchards fields and market gardens of the vicinity, and on the lines of the railroads, steam and electric that come into the city Its import trade is very extensive, and its large wholesale houses are strong and substantial. 
Its manufacturing interests are important, embracing various grades of cotton goods, cottonseed-oil mills, fertilizer factories, foundries, machine shops for making agricultural implements, and various other industries. 
It is one of the most beautiful cities of the Union, and has several handsome histone monuments, viz.: one to General Nathaniel Greene, another to Count Pu-

The population of Savannah by the census of 1900 was 54,244, of which the whites numbered 26,109, and the colored 28,135. But a large, thickly settled district has been taken into the corporate limits, and this, together with the natural increase, has added 
considerably to the population of the city, which, according to the United State census report for 1906, is 68,000. inhabitants. 
 
On the branch of the Central Railroad, between Savannah and Augusta, the town of Waynesboro (population 2,030), in the midst of a cotton and lumber region, has cottonseed-oil mills and fertilizer factories, is lighted by electricity, and has water-works and telephone system. It is the county-seat of Burke, which is the greatest cotton county of Georgia. At Shell Bluff is an inexhaustible supply of limestone of the best quality for making lime. Buhrstone is very abundant in this county. 
 
Louisville (population 1,000), the county-site of Jefferson county, has electric lights, water-works and telephone connections. It is an old town of historic interest from the circumstance that for nine years (from 1795 to 1804) it was the capital of Georgia. 
 
Sandersville and Tennille are important towns of Washington county, the former being the county-site. Sandersville is on a branch of the Southern Railway, and las good commercial facilities, large fertilizer estab'ishments and machine shops. It is situated upon a ridge between the Oconee and Ogeechee rivers, 500 feet above sea-level. Population, 2,023. Tennille is smaller, having 1,121 inhabitants, but is quite a manufacturing center, having a cotton factory, cottonseed-oil mill, hard wood factory, mineral works, machine works and novelty factory. Connected with Tennille by a short railroad is Wrightsville (population, 1,127), the county-seat of Johnson county, in 
the midst of an extensive timber region. From the great forests of pine in this county are manufactured rosin and turpentine. Sandersville, Tennille and Wrightsville have each electric lights and telephones. 
 
In Wilkinson county there is a quarry of limestone, whence is obtained a material which, after hardening in the open air, has been found to be excellent for the construction of chimneys. In Twiggs county there is a fine vein of pottery clay. 
 
In Laurens county, the large number of sawmills and turpentine distilleries prepare great quantities of lumber, rosin and turpentine for export to Savannah. 
Dublin, the county-site, a rapidly-growing town of 2,987 inhabitants, has several prosperous mercantile and manufacturing establishments, among the latter being a cotton mill, a cotton-oil mill, ice and furniture factory, a foundry, brick works, variety works, stone factory, a shingle machine, a ham-packing establishment, and many small industries, also electric lights, water-works and telephones. 
In Bryan and Bulloch counties the larger part of the cotton raised is sea-island. In both these counties, Emanuel and Screven, lumber and turpentine interests are extensive, as they are also in Montgomery, Tattnall, Liberty and Mclntosh. Darien, the county-site of Mclntosh (population, 1,739), nas a large trade in lumber, rosin and turpentine. All these are good agricultural counties. 
Brunswick (population 9,081 in 1900, and 9,453 in 1906), the county-seat of Glynn county, the second in size and importance of the seaports of Georgia, has one of the best harbors on the Atlantic coast, is beautifully located on a bluff of white sand, and has a heavy trade in lumber and naval stores.

Waycross, the county-seat of Ware county, is one of the great railroad centers of Southeast Georgia. It had by the last census a population of 5,919. It has electric hghts,_ water-works, telephones, a street railway and several manufacturing industries. The pine and cypress timbers are very valuable. Rosin, turpentin and lumber are shipped in large quantities. The railroads radiating from this town bring into it the products of many adjoining counties, viz.: Pierce, Coffee, Clinch, Charlton, and parts of Berrien and Appling, while Jesup in Wayne, another growing railroad center, into which are gathered the products of the neighboring pine forests for shipment to Brunswick and Savannah, has the convenience of electric lights and telephones. With both of these Georgia ports Montgomery, Telfair, Dodge and Wilcox counties have easy access by rail. Large flocks of sheep range in all these counties, bringing with their wool good profits to their owners. 
McRae (population, 1,020), the county-seat of Telfair, on the Southern Railway, is the center of a large business in lumber, shingles, turpentine and rosin, has saw and planing mills, an oil and fertilizer factory, electric lights, water-works and telephones.

The city has a telephone system, an ice plant, a good system of water-works with artesian wells, gas and electric lights. During the latter part of the Civil War, Sumter and the neighboring counties produced such a large part of the supplies for the Confederate armies of Virginia and Tennessee that this section of the State was called Egypt. At Andersonville, the site of the noted war prison, is a well-kept Federal cemetery. That part of the coastal plain region which is drained into the Gulf of Mexico, now contains many growing towns. The rich lands drained by the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers are among the best in the State for the production of cotton and corn, and in many localities much hay is raised. The eastern part of this plain is also rich in forests of pine, and has an extensive trade in lumber and naval stores. This is particularly true of the section drained by the Allapaha river. The price of lands in Sumter county is from $5.00 to $100 per acre, an increase of 33 1-3 since 1900. 
Buena Vista, on the Central Railway, the county-seat of Marion, named for a famous battle of the Mexican war (population, 1,161), is a good cotton market, has tele-

All South Georgia is a great and growing country, increasing rapidly in wealth and population, and with every advantage, educational and religious. In fact each section of Georgia offers an inviting field to the enterprising immigrant. She is a great broad-minded State, growing rapidly in population, wealth and influence. To every class of industrious, law-abiding people of every land, seeking pleasant homes and with a mind to work, especially to all true Americans from North, West or South without regard to political affiliations, Georgia stretches forth the right hand of fellowship, and bids them welcome. 
The price of lands in Georgia vary from ten to two hundred dollars an acre according to fertility of soil or proximity to some large city or rapidly-growing town.

1901--Fair crop--damaged by wet weather. 1902--Fair crop. 
 
I93--Good crop. 
 
1904--Large crop, fruit good. 
 
v 
 
1905--Good crop. 
 
1906--Fairly good crop, notwithstanding damage from late frosts and wet weather. 
 
Late and heavy frosts this year (1907) have wrought considerable damage to the peach crop especially in 
 
North Georgia; but near Elberton in the northern section Mr. 
 
Tate, who had 4,000 trees in bearing sav- 
 
ed the fruit on 1,000 of them by making slow fires and thus producing a smudge, whose dense smoke, wherever 
 
it reached, saved the fruit, demonstrating the fact that the saving force was the smoke and not the heat Would 
 
it not pay all our orchard men to sit up with their orchards and make these smudges in sufficient numbers to protect all their fruit against a threatened freeze.
