11 m VOL. 2. NO 8. VIENNA, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 28 1902. TWICE-A"WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR Vienna a Manufacturing and College Town. BREEZY LETTER FROM UNADILLA Many People of Koto' Have Visited There y IEKN.V needs “line upon line, pre- drumming up pupils'and run $he at- i cept upon precept, here a little and there a little,” just as truly os the children of Israel needed it when these words were spoken by the prophet. Vienna’s territory from which she lias and is drawing trade, is becoming more limited each year. The construc- tion of new railroads and multiplication of villages and rapid growing towns in this vicinity, and the exhausting lum ber, shingle and turpentine business in tliis section lias greatly injured Vien na’s trade. The future trade Vienna will get from timber, shingles, lumber and turpentine will not build her up much. Take the question of territory and towns, draw a.line from Drayton by Kichwood to Tippettviile, all the territory and trade south of this line will have to be ceded to the. Seaboard Air Line railroad. Goneywltb a depot, telegraph, express and postofiice, stores and still growing, will hurt Vienna, tfoi'dele’s railroad facilities, fine freight rates and the.enterprise of her people will sap Vienna’s trade to our very city limits on the south. Richwood with her commissary and stores take some of Vienna’s trade. Pitts, Seville, Ro chelle, Abbeville and Tippettviile are all prosperous and will grow larger- wili always hold the trade territory within four or five miles of Vienna. It is quite probable that a railroad will run from Cordele to HawkiDSvllle and * then Vienna’s trade South and South east will be forever cut off. Draw a line from Flint river by the Camp ground by Findlay and three miles cost of Findlay and all the trade territory North will go to Byromville, Montezu ma, Findlay, Pinehurst, Unadilla and Hawkinsville. Amorious will get all beyond Flint river, and Drayton will get. some trade on the east side of the i ^ river. L The once fine trading territory of P»" Vienna is lost forever. Some ope may r .say Vienna hn? the court house, the jail, the poor house and a grave yard. How is q court house going to build up this city? The hotels and boarding houses will get a little patronage twice a'year during court, some will buy a few cigars, and bring.a few dozen eggs to sell during court. The jail inhabl- tance will not help. Vienna much, the poor house will be a burden, the grave yard will only cause a few coffins and shrouds to be sold. How will this build up Vienna? Let Vienna look to the living to build her up and not the dead. Vienna , has scarcely enongh territory even well developed, to hold her own. The trade use to come here because there was na where else to go, butuotsohow. Our merchants will have to advertise and hustle as they have never done before. If our mer chants sit supremely down and wait for customers to come in from Sumter, Wilcox, Macon and Pulaski counties, they will soon be in the hands of the ' sheriff (I mean their business will. West Point. LaGrange, Hogansville, Grantville, Newnan, and Palmetto, use to get large trade from Troup, Heard, Merriwother, Cbweta, Carroll, Fayette and Cambell counties, but railroads and other causes cut off their large trade territory. Today West Point is truly a manufacturing city; LaGrange is a great college and manufacturing city; Hogansville and Grantville are manufacturing towns; Newnan with tier mills, factories, foundries and fine schools in one of the finest little cities in Georgia. Take Gainesville, her h mills and colleges have made heraeity. B When Griffin, Hampton, Barnesville, ^ Jackson and Forsyth lost their trade territory they began to build mills, schools and colleges. There is only one alternative for Vienna to become much of a city, and that is to become a man ufacturing and a college town. Dooly couuty people spend fifteen thousand xlollars annually in sending their chit kiren off to college, and this will in crease, f. Let ua buildup a college in Vienna; why not? Let the school board publish and circulate a fine cat alogue of the school, give attractive cum, etc. Let Profs: Lasse ter and Powell spend some of the vacation Daring the Present Week. TAYLOR NOT GUILTY OF FELONY CHARGED Jury in the Superior Gonrt Remained in Conference Several Honrs. tendance up to five hundred. Introduce the military feature into the school if necessary. You cannot build up a* college in a year. LaGrange has been sixty years establishing her colleges. Start the foundation fora college now. In the near future Georgia will have three million population, her wealth will be greatly increased; her children will have to have schools and colleges to attend. The South is the coming manufacturing country of the union, especially cotton. After the civil war the property of the South was destroy ed, and hence thei'e has been no spare capital until now to invest in cotton mills, etc. The South has greatly in- creased in wealth-, so by forming joint stock companies the capital can be commanded. The discovery of coal in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Tex os with good railroad facilities has made steam power equally as cheap as water power. The New England states have old and worn out machinery, while the South can have new and improved machinery, and as we have the cotton right on the field, the Northern and Eastern mills cannot compete with us long. England has been manufacturing majority of 'the cotton, and so she controls the market, but if the United- States manufacture a million more bales, then we will manufacture a majority of the cotton, hence we can control the market. We then can say to all foreign countries, "if you want cotton bid up and we can let you have it.” There is a great future for the cotton farmers and the manufacturer’s of Georgia. England and the North cannot long compete with the cotton growing state in cotton manufacturing. England’s greatness and glory is in her navy and manufacturing Industry. Some of the ships Uncle Sam destroyed in the recent war with Spain were con structed by England—this proves to all that we have the strongest navy in the world today. We furnish England with the raw material, so if we can manu facture our own cotton England will have her machinery to rust and her hips to rot in her harbor. With a well regulated tariff the South con grow rich raising and manu facturing cotton, i Savannah is to even rival New Orleans as a cotton market Georgia’s geographical location is the best of all the cotton states. Vienna with two great railroads, one going to the coal fields of Alabama and extend ing to the sea; cotton milts here will pay as well or better than any place on the globe. The cotton mills at West Point, LaGrange and Hogansville all in Troup county manufactures every bole of cotton Troup county produces. Let all the cotton Dooly county pro duces be manufactured in the county. Let the Cotton Oil company of Vienna proceed to organize a cotton mill for the city. Locate it just north of the oil mill, then you can gin the cotton, make oil, meal and hulls, then make cloth of the cotton Lets have a cotton mill and a college for Vienna. J. D. Norris.
