The Sentinel, of Je-<up, (Ja., located
In the. southern part of the state,
paints a rather doleful picture in re
gard to the rush of <people through
Georgia, both local and outskie peo
pie, who go "by private trains, io ? x
pensive autos, in Fords, walking, ho
boing, and just any old way oil tho
road to Florida." "The??e people,'*
the paper says, "do not realize that
in passing through Georgia and from
Georgia on to Florida, they are step
ping ovei' diamonds daily, and passing
up what, if they but knew it, would
yield more in response to their honest
efforts than any other section of
America."
It asks the question, Why are they
doing this? And the answer is worth
studying. It is a perfectly frank ad
mission that these people are going
out of Georgia and going through
Georgia because they have not heard
of the great resources of southern
Georgia and its/ abounding ? advan
tages.
There are many othor sections of
the South of which the same story
?night be told. It is the lack of knowl
edge on the part of their own people
and of outsiders of the attractions
and advantages of the South which is
causing some to halt in the general
march of progress. On this point the
Jesup paper says:
"Simply, because they have heard
iib.<Ut tho other place and have no*
-heard -of south -Georgia.. Millions ol
dollars ni'e spent annually in spread
ing the tidings of Florida's wonder
ful sunshine and golden - opportuni
ties, *
"South Georgia gets very little ad
vertising except what the newspa
pers do single handed and without the
backing of other people. If our trade
bodies could do some systematic and
aggressive advertising throughout
other states 'and get 'em told' about
this country, we would have no trou
ble in getting manufacturers, farm
ers and' others to stop, look and listen
before crossing our border line into
another state."
Not only does southern Georgia get
very little advertising except what
the local papers do single-handed and
without the bac king of the people, but
there are hundreds, perhaps thous
ands of communities here and there
over the South which for the
same .reason do not attract atten
tion front outsiders, nor do they ho!d
their own people at home.
The local papers in many a town
are practically the only agencies who
are really working to advance the
best interests of the town, and they
often have to carry on their campaign
under disadvantageous conditions.
They preach optimism and tell the
truth in doing1 m>, only to meet with
the voice of the scoffer who declares
"there is nothing good in this place
and I am going somewhere else."
They preach optimism and the
building up of a community, while
many of the business men render
them no co-operation whatever In the
campaign. Their columns are often
marked by beggarly advertising of
the people of their community; and
while th< y are preaching optimism of
j unrequited Labor fur the good -of
| others.
How .truly this applies, not only to
small* cumm unities but to many
slates, recognized by over thought
ful man.
Wake up! Wake up! ye people
of the?e smali communities in the
South and backward counties, or else
permit yourselves to be decently
buried in order th;<t your absence
may be a blessing to your community.
Thousands of men in the South are
drawbacks to their communities; they
are liabilities instead of assets. They j
want nothing done except by their
permission, or by their leadership,
and they 'do* nothing
their very activities are activities
which intensify depression.
Wsrke up, or <lie! You have uo right
to cumber the ground; no right to
stand in the way of the progress of
other people: no right to hold your
community -back. You are a liability
and a.5 a liability your influence is all
to the bad.
An Old Epitaph
On a weather-beaten tombstone in
a I>o>ton graveyard is this inscrip
tion: '"Sacred to Ohc memory of Fben
Harvey who departed this life sud
denly and unexpectedly by a cow
kicking him on the 15th of Septem
ber, 185.1." The last of the inscrip
tion read: "Well done, thou good and
fuithful servant."
It is to be presumed that the in
dividual who wrote the epitaph had
reference in the last sentence to
Kben Harvey and not to the cow that
kicked him. Of course, if Flben's
widow wrote the epitaph the refer
oeue may have meant something else
again. ? Spartanburg Sun.
