is interested in the success of
any section of the state.

Local peach growers didn’t
do so 1 bad with their peaches.
143 cars have been shipped from
Griffin; 60 cars from Zetella; 75
from Zebulon and about 50
from Rover and Williamson.
And most of them brought good
prices.
As a friend from Mt. Zion
said, “I’ve waited 8 years for a
good crop and a good price and
this year got both.”

The Atlanta Journal in a fea
ture story written by its Hamp- '
ton correspondent tells of the
Concord grape vineyard of A.
B. Mitcham Mr. Mitcham has
a small vineyard that nets him
more than $2,000 a year.
That beats cotton, folks.

Speaking of cotton, reminds
us, this morning’s mail brought
a letter from Woodward Bald
win & Co. This letter con
cerns the market for cotton
goods and says. “We have done
a better business in towels, with
a steady increase from week to
week, and with this division of
the market generally better.”

Another paragraph says, “We
1 think that in spite of the dull
ness In some classes of cotton
goods, there Is a more general
feeling of optimism in the mar
ket."
— * —
That big business thinks "bet
ter times" are coining is born .
.r out by the ■rSfinouncement that
RCA-Victor company has add
ed. 7,000 employes to its force
to get ready for fall and winter

The tact that Studebaker has
appropriated $1,000,000 for an
advertising campaign, shows
that thus concern has confidence
,in the future.
And the fact that the Fox
Theatre interests have decided
to spend "all of Its advertising
appropriation in newspapers”
shows that this concern believes
in newspaper advertising. This
decision is not a retrenchment.
The money formerly spent in
other forms of advertising will
be added to -that spent In news
papers.

Another bit of good news Is
the announcement that Val
dosta will soon open a large
veneer plant that will employ
100 persons. The mill will make
single-ply veneer for use in
manufacture of fine furniture.

Georgia is soon to erect a
monument to the late Senator
Tom Watson, That's as It
should be. Regardless of what
one may think of Tom Watson,
he was an outstanding Georgian
and his state should honor his
memory. The committee that
will sponsor the monument Is
composed of leaders from every
congressional district.
