ORGANIZE HOME CAPITAL
The much talked of outside capital for manufactur
ing industries has about spent its course and it is be
lieved that our people are coming to the conclusion
that to succeed in the manufacturing and industrial
lines our people should invest their money and man
age such enterprises. If we are to gTow and expand,
as other sections have grown, then it is in our prov
ince to awaken to the realization of the importance
of investing our money first and showing to the out-
sider that the enterprise is a good investment and if
it pays home capital a good dividend it will certainly
nay the outside capitalist. . ; „„
Texas has been aroused to the movement of en-
couraging outside capital to enter that state and, it
is a wise movement. All states and sections natural y
invite and welcome new capital in their midst, but
they have realized that the first move to make possi
ble the success Of new manufacturing «ntcrp n s e s is
to commence at home and with home capital. The
Dallas Journal in speaking of the solution of the
nroblem quotes the following from an address deliv-.
ered by Dr. Blalock, president of the Cotton Ginners
Association of Texas: , ...
Dr. Blalock urged the erectiop of a textile
mill in every count/of Texas and argued for the
financing of these with local capital. H»s advice
• was featured by a warning against monopoly or
teT textile industry by capital from the outside.
The soundness of that advice must be conceded,
despite the fact that Texas communities are in
the mood to welcome the investment of foreign
capital in manufacturing industries that would
contribute to their prosperity and progress.
The locally capitalized manufacturing plant,
whether it be a textile mill or something else, if
it is successfully-operated, keeps the dividends
at work in Texas. And that would be prefera
ble to a flow of profits out of the state. To the
extent that Texas communities can afford to do
it stock should be taken in manufacturing enter
prises of whose value and soundness there can
The arguments set forth and ndvlce gtven by
Dr. Blalock arc sound and sane and if followed will
prove beneficial to that state. Every state in the
south, at least in the cotton belt, should realize that
if cotton mills are to come to their doors some effort
must be made on the part of local capitalists to bring
them. Athens can get moro cotton mills, but our
home people must take lead in organization and
management.

Slogans have become quit#
popular and we might say com
mon for there are few line*
of business or manufactured
products which do not carry some
form of slogan. It is a help to th*
business and many of these slogans
become bywords and are used on
all occasions to express som*
thought or saying In a more em
phatic manner than an ordinary*
expression would imply. For in
stance, “buy a Ford and spend tho
difference.” That is a good one
but here are a number of ethers
quite ns applicable to ilia Mnef
which they represent:
“We raise all the vegetables

Recently Athens has re
ceived an unusual season of
showers, so much so that on a
number of the streets the
boughs of the trees spread over tho
sidewalks and after one of these
showers pedestrians are forced to
leave the sidewalks or else receive
a lavish supply of water which lias
acjiimulaeed on the leaves of tho
overhanging limbs. If the city of
ficials fvould have a trimming day

The Spring Wind whispered, “Play
with me,
Come on and run nway wig, me,
I know where all the* morry
places arc;
Where silver lakes aro glimmering
Or waterfalls nre shimmering,
Away from all the city’s clash
and jar-”’
The Spring Sun says, “There’*
A quiet, healthy calm in me
To soothe your nerves of all
their hurt and fret;
I’ll put a lovely tan on you,
Come on and play—I plan on you,
There’s lota of gay adventures
to be met!”
But Duty said, “No wandering!
Yon should bo grimly pondering
The problems of the Spring and
Summer Trade;
Life’* earnest in Its i
i quality.
You ought to shun frivolity.”

I obeyed?
