All the admirers of tbe game of football who possibly can, will witness this game and it is to be hoped that all others who are interested in the High School or in the young manhood of the town will be present. Many of our cltisens have not seen a game of football within tbe last few years, since the changes in the rules has eliminated most of the dangers and has tranaformed the game from being merely a series of uninteresting mass plays into the interesting open style play, where one can follow the progress of the ball at all times and see how the individual players do their part. If you do not understand the game, get someone who does to go with you to explain it. Of the' people who do not like football, in most cases. It is because they do not understand the game. Let everybody remember that there is to be a big game here this coming Friday afternoon and make their arrangements to be there when the whistle blows for the game to berth. mE' /v-A-'f ffiftii TsfGiT?

This inquiry |3 is been conducted by the great or-1, nidation of the 7 5-year-old Orange idd Company. The work has been me under the personal direction of ( i president, Herbert Myrick.

I These reports show that so rapid- ? have the number of people in the uth increased that the gain is now the rate of 33 per cent, for the <3 rrent decade. With the tide of 1m- p gration now beginning to flow d uthward,* the increase may be uch larger in the near future.

Farm values are increasing even more rapidly than the growth lis their numbers and improved area. Southern Farming of Atlanta says, hat whereas the average value of the farms in the 12 Southern States was ettimed at $16 per acre by the ceuius of 1910, it is now an average of |18 an acre at least. This la a gala .jM it the rate of 12 1-2 per rent, in two ? rears. It believes that this advance 78 will be much more rapid in the next me to Are years. The total value of farm property in he South has Increased to upward of ? 1,500 millions of dollars at this date, -J ompared to 7,265 millions of dollars ty the census of 1910. This is the onservative value of farm land and he Improvements thereon, but exrlu. ive of all crops, live stock, etc. The cereal crops of the Soutn lor 912 are worth over 600 millions ot lollars. Hay and forage repreeent a alue of 100 millions. Tobacco, ruits, vegetables 'and minor crops rill be worth as much as hay and orage. , Should the Soutb's cotton crop for ] his year make only 15 million hales, nd be worth 12 cents per pound, or '] 60 per bale, the fleecy staple alone . ^ rill make a total of 900 millions of ! lollars. Thus, the value of the farm pro- .3 luctions of 1912 in our 12 Southern % Itates will exceed 1,6 00 millions of 3 lolars | The value of domestic anima)sw is | rell up toward 1,200 millions of del- j Ir? The productions of Southern farms rill reach 2,000 millions of dollars n value long before the census of 920, says this authority; her live took will re.ach 1,500 millions, and he value of her farm lands and tuildings will crawl up to nearly 10.000 millions of dollars.
