After five days spent in New York
a week was spent in the Capital Dis
trict at Cohoes. It is surprising to
note* there and everywhere else that
you travel over the North that the
.talk is all about the south. The eyes
0 f everyone are on this section. The
a capital district is the center of the
textile industries. This section is not
what it used to be five years ago
for the textile business is also
lowing the trend of the times and
drifting Southward. It is good to
know Georgia is making progress
along this line and now ranks fourth
in cotton spindles. With our natural
advantages, our water power being
developed, it should be first.
Another week was spent in
mn New York on the St. Lawrence
River. This is the home and heart of
the great dairy section in that state.

A County Fair
The following editorial from the
Thomaston Times offers valuable (
food for thought in Peach county, ;
j j which might than go a long right way and do j
worse attending here at
home to such matters as launching a
chamber of commerce or board of
trade and a county fair. The Times
urges: i
“Thc formation of a County Fair
Association Tuesday was a splendid
step forward for Upson county and
those moving spirits who were active
in the work are to be congratulated i
that their efforts have been success
ful in taking definite shape. The per
sonnel of the officers chosen is fine
and these gentlemen should be able
to enlist the help and sympathy of
the people of all sections of the
county in the project. The object of
the fair is not so much to bring in
outside visitors but to show our own
folks what we can do in old Upson.
Mc need to sell Upson county to Up
son people first of all. A good coun
ty fair will do this better than any
thing else. The details of the enter
prise are to be worked out by officers
and directors and will be announced
soon. In the meantime let’s all begin
boosting the County Fair next Fall.
Talk it up and if asked to help do
something else why just throw in
with all your might and let’s put it
over in grand shape. Boost the coun¬
ty fair.” I

No Blanket Bond Issue
Unquestionably the prospect is not
br ‘*t b t t° r a blanket issue of road
bonds in Georgia.
Those who have been over the sub
ject and have traveled through the
State, as well as those who have
taken into consideration the finances >
of Georgia, are not by any means j
convinced that the State is prepared
for any such proposition,
At the recent meeting of the
County Commissioners in Athens the
zoning plan seemed to be a prime
favorite. The system of state-wide
bonds did not attract very large sup
port. It is true that the method which
prevailed in Athens does not in any
way antagonize a state-wide highway
bond issue.
But somehow the zoning system
has won out. At least it has in South
Georgia and it will win in Middle
if a fight is not made upon it
