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.

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.
