The movement to attract more
farmers to Spalding county was
given a new turn when the pub
licity committee of the Chamber
of Commerce Wednesday recom
mended that a special committee
be named to deal with the prob
lem.
Included in the membership, it
was suggested, should be a lead
ing farmer, a merchant, a busi
ness man, a lawyer and a banker.
The recommendation will go to
the board of directors.
Important Work.
It was brought out at the pub
licity committee meeting that the
problem of bringing settlers to
the county was one of the most
important facing the Chamber of
Commerce.
The Central of Georgia’s re
cently announced plan of co-op
eration with counties to obtain
settlers was discussed. This plan
lays down a number of require
ments the counties must meet,
such as having many small tracts
of lands under option and with
the improvements in presentable
condition.
Elaborate Booklet.
Progress on preparation of an
elaborate booklet for use m
vertising resources and advan
tages of Griffin and Spalding
county was reported. Secretary
Thomas was instructed to ask
the board of directors for $1,500
to meet this, expense.
W. H. Bolton, H. B. Montgom
ery and Dr. F. H. Wilson were
named as a committee to have
the routing of the Dixie highway
changed and signs placed so as
to direct tourists through the
city instead of the Poplar street
route.
Members of the com nfpittee
present were L. W. Traer, chair
man; Lyndon Patterson, C. C.
Givens, Jr., W. H. Bolton, John
H. Rogers, H. B. Montgomery,
F. H. Wilson and Ezra Goen.

Pittsburg, Nov. 20.—The great
est building devoted to education
the world has ever known will
soon be rearing itself loftily into
Pittsburg’s smoky skies.
The University of Pittsburg has
completed plans and will begin
the erection next year of a 52
story “Cathedral of Learning
to house virtually all of the uni
versity activities.
680 Feet High.
The structure will be 680 feet
high, a height exceeded only by
the Woolworth building and the
Metropolitan Life tower in New
York city.
The new building will accom
modate 12,000 students.
The designs call for construc
tion on the Gothic style.
The building will be 360 feet
long and 260 feet wide. It will
have four entrances and will pro
vide class rooms, libraries, shops
and laboratories for all of the
schools of the university except
those of medicine and dentistry.
The main doorways will be 39
feet high. Kentucky white lime
stone will be used.
Comparing well in height with
the Woolworth building, which
rises 792 feet, and the Metropoli
tan tower, which has 700 feet,
the proposed educational sky
scraper will have one story more
than the Woolworth building and
two more than the Metropolitan
tower.

county, beginning at the Fulton
county line, there is 10 1-2 miles
to be hard surfaced which ranches
a short way south of Jonesboro.
