Enterprises of this character can be secured for Ath

voluntarily come in and gladly invest with us.
To Illustrate what has been accomplished in the
Pfist oil this line; practically every manufacturing
)lant and indurtry in the city was first organized and es-
tablisned with local capital. Take the Southern Man-
Ufaetifl-ing Co., it was local capital which created this
plant,gone of the largest and most successful in the
south.» It grew from a very small beginning to its
preset* importance and capacity. The Athens Kail-
way Mid Electric Co., was first owned and operated
by lodfc! capital. It is true that it experienced many
difficulties, but these difficulties were overcome and
the plant put on a paying basis. So soon as this was

of yetfs struggled for existence, hut it was finally

ground up, but a majority of these plants were first
organised and directed by local capital. Manufac-

Although crudely written and ridiculous in spots,
“Uik hj Tom's Cabin'' stands out as the most powerful
play 4vcr written in America. It was propaganda
that tfed the flames that precipitated the Civil War.
It stilled and aroused the passions of more millions of
H^m than any ether three things ever penned by*
Ameijcans. Its power was in its book form. Literary
tustpigand sense of stumor have changed since then,
and the book has been eclipsed by the dramatized
version.
