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.

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 localities left out. lf a general amendment is adopt j b w ju provide that any group of may bond as a unit for a road development, thus opi¬ tbe necessity for each group to a special constitutional amend t as was granted in 1924 to the counties for the building of the Highway.

The question is simply this: Will we for whom they fought erect the memorial, or will some of the coins have to bo sold in the North? If they are, we must admit to the North that the South is a place where things cannot be put across; and we must be the subject of their charity to commemorate our heroic dead. If the undertaking were ten times as great, we could not fail.
