WE^MUST HAVE AN INDUSTRIAL AWAKENING
^ ■ IN GEORGIA
G^jortinr Walker in his address to the people of
GeoMa upon the occasion of his inaugural Saturday
said^Georgia has stood by while in the year 1922
aloiMwvei' a thousand big industrial plants seeking
moBeJavorable conditions in the south located in a
sisterttate. ... As with one common impulse, there
comes back from thinking citizens of the farm, tile
village and the town, a note of cordial co-operation,
of extermination that there slrtill lie no further tarry
ing Jn the slough of despond, that our people shall
no linger fritter away in petty political partisanship,
friend fighting friend, brother breaking with brother,
eve* issues not really vital, while neighboring States
are Ja.Ving the foundation for progress which would
put Jleorgia to shame in the future.” ,
Many people, some of them sound business tnen,
hav^ scoffed at the idea of a big industrial movement,
towards the south. They say that there is a mill here
Ancgthere moving from the cast and north to the
soutfi but there is no general movement. They are
wrong. Tiie cotton manufacturing industry is
g to the cotton fields, where it should tie and
unices Georgia gets busy and interests the manufac*
turttg interests in locating in this state Georgia will
continue to be put to "shame.”
Tfte National Bank of Commerce of New York has
jusCissued a bulletin on the movement of factories to
euth and gives some causes and figures on the
tet which are, in part, as follows:
'he change may, in fact, be identified as a part
world-wide movement of the cotton textile in
to seek locations where lower labor costs pro- .
it is to be reebgnizcd, of course, that' the
Soumern industry is much younger than the Northern
andjas a rule industrial development in now territory
proteases rapidly if conditions are at all favorable.
ThdENorthern mills still have the advantage of hear-
nes/rto the market for their products. Moreover,' the
quauty of goods produced in Now England is in gen-
craPsuperior -to the Southern mill product. This"} 1 ,
due in part to different manufacturing policies'in the
Northern mills are chiefly in New England though
in l&’ge measure to the skill of the operatives in the
old«r territory.”
ough the cotton is manufactured in many dif-
it parts of the country, it is largely centered in
lotions. The Southern mills are mainly in
and South Carolina and in Georgia, while the
bem milflla arc chiefly in Now England, though
isidernhle part of the indsutry is in Pennsylvania,
Newt York and New Jersey.
uthoro mills have for n long time consumed
cotton than the Northern mills, In the past the
was accounted for by the fact that mills in the
Belt spun coarser yarn than the other mills,
recently, esrifeclally since the beginning of'
the difference between the consumption of
tm nml other mills has increased, * and the
has definitely assumed the lead in relative
y as well us in consumption of raw material. On
31, 1923, the cotton-growing States had only
cent ns many spindles as there were elsc-
but as during that month they had kept a
proportion in activity, and because they
uoi Jjpd each active spindle two-fifths longer than in
the North, the total active spindle hours in the South
wertj one-*ixth greater.
I “who contrast between the progress of cotton
: ifamfucturing in the South ns compared wfth the
’ 1" striking. Northern mill consumption though -
sin wing good recovery from the slump of 1920, has
&nevB‘ regained the level of the earlier part of that
; jreai and April, 1923, consumption, 214,000 bales,
1 23 percent lei s than the high record established
arch, 1916. Southern mills, on the other hand,
recently been setting now records. April con-
itlon, 364,000 bales, surpassed by 4 per cent the
jme record of Jlay, 1917.
ijpdle activity has also increased more rapidly
is South than elsewhere. The active spindle
houv per bale of cotton consumed were a third less
in tie South than in the North in March, 4923. Yarn .
production in the United States increased from 1,-
'467^00,000 pounds in 1899 to 2,347,000,000 pounds
in ©19, the latest date for which census returns are
ayatiabie.

Patriotism was abroad in
Athens yesterday and for the
first time in many years the
day was celebrated in true
1 ineriean style. The gathering of
lie legionnaires from ail sections
f the state, brought out the spirit

\V„ who had the reputation of be
ing the best turned out offifer on
the post.
On going to his quarters that
night Lieut W. prepared to don
his evening dress, and as he pick
ed up tire coat he noticed a peculiar
odor. Scarcely crediting his .senses
he hastily searched rile pockets
and found the stub of a coupon of
admittance to the cake walk just
ntioned. With »rage rising in
him, he examined his shoes, which
were twisted out of shape. This
was too mud). He called to his
•companion, ('apt. H., ‘Where is that
d-^-d nigger of yotirs? Send for him
and give hint-lb—11.* ‘Wihat is the
matter?’ asked Capt. S., as he walk
ed in. 'Why, the—has been wear
ing my clothes,', answered the lieut
enant. Taut be! Smell that coat!’
Thoroughly convinced, the captain
turned and shouted: ‘Jim—oh,
Jim. i nine here, you where are
you?* ‘Yessuh, yassuh, I’s cornin',
sur,’ answered Jim’s voice, to lie
followed in a moment by the. ap
pearance of that trembling and
much perturbed tfarkey. ‘Jim,’ de
manded the captain, ‘you Why
did you wear Lieut. W’.’s clothes
