Tho Evening Chronicle is a
bright new candidate for popular

ber appearing last Thursday. It
has the aftornoon field to itself in
tho Hill City at present.
The Southern Field, tho indus
trial publication of the Southern
Railway,issued at Washington,D.
0., contains a handsome illustra
tion of tho Aragon Mills in tho
last number of that paper. This
cotton factory is ono of the lnrge
Polk county industries that has
attracted much attention abroad.
As long,as the state of Georgia
owns the W. & A. road and the
dopot property in Atlanta, it is
good business sense to improve the
property since money can bo
made by doing so in increased
rentals. Our opinion would be
tho same if tho property in ques
tion woro in Macon or Savannah
instend of Atlanta, and we trust
any anti-Atlanta feeling in the
state will not bo permitted to kill
the project to improve the state’s
property by building a now depot
in Atlanta and thereby making a
profitable investment for the
state.
