(C. -Grosvenor Dawe in New York Times.) Those who even' superficially con sider conditions in the South must reach -the conclusion ! that many mil lions of dollars will be made in South ern real-estate in the next tew years. To look deeper makes the conclusion irrefutable. The vast expenditures of the Nation al Government in providing irrigation for the arid lands of the West will af :'fect, according to statements of the Reclamation Service, only 3 per cent, of the great stretch of country whose forbidding aridity hitherto stood in the way of successful agriculture. On the other hand, the greater proportion of the million square miles included in the South will be agriculturally profi table wnen once the tide of develop ment sets that way; for not only is there the best average and distributed rainfall of the whole country, but at many points this can be aided by tap ping the vast subterranean water re sources of the South. Two typical illustrations can be found in such sub-irrigation work as is carried on at Sanford, Fla., where lands worth less than $10 an acre a few years ago are now worth $1,000 an acre; and in Arkansas where prai rie lands, sacrificed less than ten years ago for taxes, p now under cultiva tion for rice, by reason of the subter ranean water available for distribution on the surface. ihere is also in the South an area still more remarkable in its agricul tural possibilities than anything yet brought broadly under euic.vation in tne United States. That area is in tlu lands that are suffering from an excess of mosture, but whose soil is really the cream that has been skimmed off from regions far remote. This character of land represents 53,000,000 acres; while all irrigation prospects in the West up 'to December, 1908, represent only 2,- 373,86 acres. The most significant portion of this wet area is iiLthe allu vial lands along the Mississippi Valley beginning with Southeast; Missouri and running to the coast. There exists also a vast area too wet for. use without ' drainage, stretching clear from the capes of Virginia and following the ' coast line to and around Florida, and so on to Texas. This land is the result of the erosion of ages aided by the growth and decay of vegetable matter. Developing the Wet Lands. Another type of wet lands can be illustrated by referring to the Ever glades of Florida, which do not rep resent erosion at all, but are the re sults of accumulated vegetable mould in an enclosed basin. In addition, therefore, to the general subjugation of high lying Southern lands to agricul ture, the agricultural development of the South and its real estate activities . will, in the near future, take into con sideration the. wet lands and their latent riches. , ' ! ' Another point to consider in South ern real estate development is that the activities of the various State Depart ments of Agriculture, and many rail roads of the South, are directed to ward a more intensive use of the land under cultivation. The effect will be to greatly weaken the plantation sys tem and its tendency to locate land i owners in cities. A new rural com munity life will take, its place; for in tensive agriculture means small areas handled wisely and well, bring agricul turists into closer touch with the land, with one another in rural villages, and with the advantage of better schools and a truer social life. ' This trend of the South toward a better use of the land will mean the throwing of more land on the market, and Ihus comes into sight the impulse toward advertising. The removal of the forest cover over large portions of the coastal plain has also produced an advertising tendency, for the owners of these cutover lands have taken from them the. profit that rested in timber, and are now willing to sell in large and small areas for individual and coloni zation purposes. To meet this condi tion there are now at various large centres, but particularly Chicago, coi porations that intelligently and active ly work to sell these lands to settlers. The labor of these organizations, wiiick may correctly be called, foreign, must lead to the advertising of Southern lands by Southern real estate men themselves, for it has become evident that if a move of population Coward the South is to be permanently .valu able the prospective settler must, at the very outset, come into correspon dence with local real estate men and organizations who prefer that the set tler shall know, in advance, nothing but the truth about the land he wishes, to buy. Buying "sight unseen" through specious circulars and attrac tive pictures that may or may not be . related to -the part of land he is buying , means a rude awakening when a man ; finds his land not to be as represented. Work of the Conqress. The Southern Commercial Congress as a union of the constructive 'forces of the South is, as one feature of its work, exerting every influence to brine Southern real estate men into the Na tional advertising field, for' it is rec ognized that no matter how muca truth may be brought to light regard ing (that, third of the United States which, is potentially richest, the full value of that publicity is never real ized until the attention of an individ ual is fastened on a specific piece of land. . The discouragement relative to Na tional advertising is that it -is expen sive and cannot, at the outset, be un dertaken and sustained except by largo corporations.. The small real estate man is almost hopeless when he finds that a good display advertisement in a good medium- of National circula tion may easily run up to thousands of dollars for one insertion. To en courage the small real estate man, the ISouthern Commercial congress is urg lne co-operative advertising. We urge the real estate. men. of the community to work together; we urge the oie real estate man In a 6mall place to come Into touch with other real estate men scattered all over the South so that their small investments may be swept Into a great advertising fund to create general lnquIfJV and .thus each of them gradually realize, and become encyuj-aged to undertake suck advertising of their own when funds permit. , The South's Agricultural Advantages. We believe this: That - a greate movement of population than has ever, so far, taken place in the development of the United States is now due, and that movement'-will be southward; for when once the agricultural advant ages of the South are fully under stood throughout the Nation, and the great commercial possibilities in ad dition, there will be a general move ment of people to take advantage of these things, he unused acres of the South can welcome and sustain many more millions than afe yet there. When, in addition to the natural advantages of the South, there dawns upon the mind of the world the in fluences toward personal success which lie in the southward pull of the Panama canal on the commerce of the world; which also lie in the natural pulKof the Mississippi Valley towards Gulf ports, the movement to the West, and the rush of the '49ers will fade into insignificance besides the movement toward perpetual homes in the Soutn.inence n as mai na tional advertising of Southern agricul tural lands can be depended upon to show its influence very vigorously in the near 'future; for" the opening of the Panama canal i? only six years awav. The southward pull of com merce is here already. . The ISouth is. in addition to the in fluence of its natural advantages, prompted toward such activties by the vigorous efforts that the Canadian gov ernment has made within the United States to people its own northwest. In that sense the South is being pro voked to good works; for it has been ed to realize that owing to the rapid growth of 'the United States in popu lation, there is still a grsat portion of our population that is in a state of indecision as to a permanent nome. The South intends to reach out, and to invite these men of ambition and of good purpose to throw in their lot with her. .The South will welcome as many strong arms as choose to come, only providing that the racial instincts of those who do come are sucn as will strengthen the South in maintain ing the civilization of the race. IN G0LDSB0R0 THIS WEEK (Contined From Page 7.) Left to the consicence of each mem ber of the Lodge, he was expected to contribute as often and as much to this fund as he so desired. The lodge would elect three of -its members tQ act as trustees of this fund and to secure it against loss, but Invest it so as to increase it as much as possible. They said: "That all members of this lodge shall be required and urged to make such voluntary quarterly contri butions to the, Orphan Asylum Fund as their means will permit and "their generosity prompt." 1 After other preliminaries, they said: And the same shall be kept intact un til such time as by order of this lodge it shall be turned over to the Grand Lodge of the .State of North Carolina to be placed.-together with like2 funds raised by other lodges in this jurisdic tion, for the establishment and main tenance of the Orphan Asylum con templated." That would have been a happy day when the order had raised a fund suffi cient to build and equip such a plant as we have in Goldsboro now, with enough left on hand for the income to adequately support and take care of it for all time to come. What can imagination conjure up and bring to perfection. There is not a bank in the State that has capital enough to" think of undertaking, it. and yet our Grand Lodge in May, 1888, the report of our Grand Secretary ' showing- a membership January 1st of only 1,173 members in the State, and only 38 small lodges,' took this bait like a nun gry trout swallows a tempting fly. It would pay our readers well to get a copy, if possible to get one, tend refer to pages 345 to 347, just for your own gratification. Why yes, of .course, we will. - The few members present went wild over the . orphan children, made long and eloquent speeches, and finally wound t up by adopting .the. idea suggested by the Grand Secretary, viz., that a collection be taken at once in subscrip tions and cash for the Odd Fellows Orphan Asylum, stating that one bro ther would start the subscription with 5100. The Grand Master, being the Rev. Jas. H. Cordon, took the collec tion, raising about $700. Three trus tees were also elected, consisting ofS Hon. A. H. A. Williams, of Oxford; C. B. Edwards, of Raleigh, and Na thaniel Jacobi, of Wilmington. While there are some few who have never consented that Brother Jacobi was the originator of the plan that we accepted from Cape Fear lodge, it has always been understood by most of us that it was he that first originated tne thought and caused the committee to be appointed, consisting of Bro. John D. Bellamy. Nathaniel Jacobi. and Oscar Pearsall, who formulated the plan and signed it. To Father Ja cobi has the honor been given, and to mm it must, ana will, remain. After several years trying to accu mulate a fund upon the plans adopted it was found that if we waited for this fund to grow to sufficient proportion to build and maintain an asylum, we had as well abandon it, for the mem bers usually did not contribute any thing. A small growth being reported, but so slow that it would take ages and ages to accomplish it. " Something tangible has to be shown if we inter est the minds of business men. At the session in Fayetteville in 1889, the funds from the subordinate lodges were called in and ordered placed in the hands of the trustees of the Grand Lodge. In Wilmington at the session of 1890 an attempt was made to start the work in a small way and take care of as many orphans as we could with what funds we had, so as to show some tangible proof that we were in earnest about it. This was not allowed to be done at this time, but at Oxford the'next year, 1891, a building committee was appointed to act with the trustees in selecting a suitable site for the building and com pletely changing the plana from a vol untary contribution of the member ship to that of levying a per capita tax upon the subordinate lodges in order to raise necessary funds. The tax for that year waa 2 per capita 11 for each term. This building committee consisted of three trustees-rBrog. C. Douglass, ' C D. Benbow agd Jona than White. The. site was selected at Goldsboro, about one mile northeast of the court hdise, 20 acres of land being given- for the purpose b Mr. (now Brother) , w. A. J. PeacocK, while there was pledged-by the citi zens, in connection with members of Neuse lodge, about ?4,000 toward tne completion of the first building. li tne reaaer win cast nis eye 10 me fift .and rear of the Main Building, as given in this issue, he can-see the building that was "first erected. It was, a two-story brick structure with metal oof. consisting of eight roms. This took place in the early Spring of 1892; and the first orphan children admitted to the Home were sent from Raleigh, being ; the three Woodward children, and were received by Dr. William Cobb Whitfield, the first superinten denton the9th day of May. Unfortu nately for the Home and the children, before the first year had expired, death called Mr& Whitfield, the Ma tron, away from Jbarth. It was an ir reparable loss., r: " From an humble beginning we have gradually grown, until now we have' one of the best adapted and will soon" have the best equipped Home plans in the Southern States under the Control of our order. The next building constructed was the" four-room cottage which is not shown in our pictures at all, but is now used .as an infirmary. The next was our Main Building, which was completed in 1897. This building oost about $11,000, and at the time of bulki ng, contained Jl large and airy rooms, seven small ones, spacious hallways, and kitchen. It has since been greatly improved and enlarged, and will here after be used for accommodation of bur boys. In the year 1897, while the Grand Lodge was in session at Char- otte, the first step was taken looking to the establishment of a Home for the aged and infirm Odd Fellows, and also aged and indigent widows of Odd Fellows in the State. The resolutions authorizing this move . was signed by Rev.- Chas. O. Durant. Richard N. Hackett, now Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge, and Richard J. Jones. Page 268 of the proceedings of that date will show. For several- years this matter seem ed to drag and funds' accumulated slow. Finally another committee was appointed, and Brother Jones placed, at its head to' see what could be done. After one or two -years' deliberation, in the year 1903, the venerable chair man submitted a plan by which he thought weVcould erect a suitaolq building on the same - grounds, but not too nea our Orphan Home build- ing, for this snrpose. The Grand Lodge .'adopted Tiis suggestion as ap pears on pages 79 and 80 of the pro ceedings of 1903, and it "was from this beginning that our huilding known as "the old folks Home" arose. This ouuuingwas dedicated to the use and mirnnsps nf t-h rrrrtpr o.-hilo thi Grand Lodge wis in session in Golds boro in 190G, Past Grand Sire Alfred S. Pinkerton of Worcester.

We refer to our Memorial bufidtng. At a cost of about $25,000 tnis -tnuiding was constructed and is today one among the best' and most comfortable buildings in the State. It does credit to the order and stands noble monument to the Father of our Orphan Home, Brother Nathaniel Jacobi. On this beautiful sequestered spot stands Odd Fellowships' most imposing expression of its love for humanity and the relief of distress.
