HARRIS HAPPY He Tells The Macon Te'egraph Thai Tti'ile School is Ceriain. ■ {ROUGH MACHINERY IS PROMISED Thinks *IO,OOO Will Be Raized in At lanta |Alone—Beside* Subscriptions 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.
