{ROUGH MACHINERY IS PROMISED
Thinks *IO,OOO Will Be Raized in At

From Other Farts of the State.
Hon. N. E. Harris returned yester
day from Atlanta, where he had been to
appt ar before the committee of the
general assembly to whom tbe textile
school bill had been committed, fays
the Macon Telegraph.
Mr, Harris aas rejoiced at the sue
cess with which he and his co-workers
for the bill bad met, aud said that the
Georgia law makers realized the im
portance of the undertaking, and would
not tbrn back. In other words, he was
confident that the bill, aq reported by
the committee, would pass bo h houses
He said the fact that Georgia is to
have a textile school makes this state
the pioneer of one of the most import
ant enterprises the South has under
taken in a long, long time, and it was a
chance too great to be slighted by the
law-makers. The bill, as reported, re
quires the state to appropdate SIO,OOO
for the establishment of tne department
in connection with the Georgia Schoo'
of Technology, provided an equal
amount is raised by private subscrip
tion.
, ‘‘We have already enough machinery
promised us,” said Mr, Harris, “to
equip the school, and besides this, I
feel certain that SIO,OOO will be con
tributed in Atlanta, to say'hotbing of
the cash eubscript’ous that will be re
ceived from other parts of the state and
frem the manufacturing 'establish
ments, many of which are expected to
make cash contributions, because they
feel unmistakably the need of such
training for the young men who are in
terested in manufacturing.
“We raised 1,300,000 bales of cotton
in Georgia last year, and shipped it out
of the state to be manufactured. If we
could keep it at home and manufacture
it into cloth and yarns, such as we can
manufacture, we oonld* quadruple the
value of this cotton, which would make
the crop at present prices $140,000,000
for Georgia alone. North Carolina is
manufacturing all of her staple, and it
il said will buy 100,000 bales this sea
soft,
coetinued Mr, Harris, “this
is A great undertaking, and I am happy
to Mee the legislators taking to it. They
could not afford to do otherwise, in tbe
face of the 5 cent cotton. It just sim
ply means that we are challenging the
commercial supremacy of other sections
of the country, and that we are going
to take a hand in fixing the price ol
cotton in tbe days to come,”
Mr, Veal’s Say,
Editor Tribune-I appreciated the
notice in the morning paper about my
pictures and I assure you and the public
that it is my aim to have nice and up-to
date goods, clean and fresh and as cheap
in price as tbe same can be bought any
where. I will be glad to have anyone
call and see my holiday goods whether
they wish to buy or not. 1 have the best
selection of books ever brought in the
city. Please repeat your notice again.
