.The impozstance of good roads in Cobb
county has been repeatedly emphasized
by Judge Gober in his charges to grand
juries. We have had a number of our
citizens to speak to us about urging
upon the authorities to put the roads
in good passable condition. Good roads
are a saving of stock, harness, and ve
hicles. Wear and tear depreciates all
of these if the roads are bad. TLet the
proper ones bégin to devise ways and
means to put all the roads in Cobb
county in the .very best fix. Then the

The Atlanta Journal published the {
statement that Governor Candler, o\'9l‘{
the ’phone, used the:word d—d in
speaking about the maritime congress
held in Brunswick. The Governor de
nies the soft impeachment. The Jour

very reprehensible in the Governor to
curse, but if he did, it is equally as
reprehensible topublish it to the world.
The Journal should have some pride of
State and some respect for the chief
magistrate, and shielded him from
public censure.

We Must Have It or Something Better.
What is Marietta going to do about
that cotton factory? Nearly all of our
neighbors have taken action in this im
portant matter and now either have
mills in operation or in couse of con
struction. Within eighteen months
guch small towns as Dallas and Canton
have raised money, almost entirely
from the citizens of those towns, with
which to erect and equip large factories
in those places. The money thus placed
in circulation will be a great assistance
to all classes therein;in fact without
something outside of agriculture to
give employment to people who must
labor for a livelihood, Georgia would be
ina bad way. Tt is undeniably a fact
that our soil cannot compete with that
of Texas for agricultural purposes. If
anyone will watch the trains he will
learn that the west is making great
drafts upon that part of our population
which comes from sections where agri
culture is the sole relianee of the peo
ple. In North Carolina it is stated that
some counties which have heretofore
raised immense tobacco erops are in
danger of depopnlation beeause so many
farmers with their families are going to
the factory towns of that state to ob
tain employment. Manufacturing cen
ters never lose their citizens but rather
increase atthe expense of non-indus
trial communities. With Texas on’the
one hand and the mill towns on‘the
other incessantly drawing our laboring
people, certain parts of this state bids
fair to be deprived, ir the near futhre,
of a large part of the back-bone of the
country.
Our town has already taken a consid
erable stride in the direction of manu
facturing, but there is room for a great
deal of improvement, What we lack is
concert of action. 1 believe most of
our manufactyring concernsare respec
tively in the hands of afew individuals.
In all mill towns hundreds of persons
are stockholders in those enterprises.
Why eannot Marietta imitate Gaines
ville, which by raising $200,000 within
a recent period secured two mills rep
resenting $1,600,000? .
Will not some individual of means
start a factory for the manufacture of
clothing for men or one for articles of
dress for women or for the production
of any of the various commodities turned
out of the factories of New England?
Let us try to cateh a part of the stream
which is flowing incessantly to Texas
and to the mill towns.

A Correction, :
In my communication of last weék I
gave the Methodists a membership in
the United States of four and one-half
million communicants. This is about
its strength among the whites. Its
total strength, according to Dr. Edwin
Munsell Bliss, of the New York Inde
pendent, is 5,682,583, The total Bap
tist strength Dr. Bliss gives at 4,446 -
883. The Roman Catholies have 8,610,-
226 adherents or about 2 900,000 com
municants. According to Dr. Bliss the
Universalists had 49,194 communicants
in 1890 and 48,426 in 1900. The increase
in the religions population of the coun
try is 32 per cent., as against 21 for the
country.
