GOING AFTER MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.
Our people are aroused over the prospects of secur
ing several large manufacturing industries that are
looking southward for locations. There Reems to be n
general migration of cotton mills from the east seek
ing desirable locations in the south. In practically
every instance, the promoters and owners of these
■mills expect some inducements from communities dev
I siring such enterprises. They do not usk, nor uo they
expect an unreasonable amount from any. locality,
but they do expect a bonus sufficient to defray the
expense of -moving. While, of course, these mills
will profit by moving to the home of raw material, yet
the location of such industries will prove a great
asset to the town or city selected.
In Rome, the great Chatillon mill was secured by
the enterprising citizens of that place, who in' a deter
mined effort sought this enterprise and met the condi
tions required by the owners of the mill by subscrib-
iug.the amount of $115,000, This amount was merely
c good will offering to'indicnte the faith and confi
nes the Rome people held for their city. It landed
million dollar enterprise—a splendid invest-
Thcre are opportunities for Athens to partici-
ji similar projects, provided our people become
and interested enough in such matters as to
eir faith by subscribing to a fund to, bo used

-tl in Athens to build enterprises of .all kinds of
nufacturing plunts. And, no doubt, our people if
ized, would respond to a call from some loader
i known to have the interest of Athens at heart,

WHO MURDERED PRODUCER TAYLOR?
Three years ago one of the most mysterious mur-
lers committed in several decades occurred in Los
Angeles, California, when William Desmond Taylor
was found dead in his room. Speculations were rife
ds>to the murderer, and many arrests were made, but
: Oh Investigation the arrested were turned loose and
party or parties are today roaming the
ee men cr women, as the case may be.
. a startling announcement haB been made
’•'a convict confined in prison in California. This
~~ claims that he is entitled to the distincton of

’ing committed the crime and desires to be tried
