MANUFACTURING PLANTS OF THE NEW
ENGLAND STATES ARE MOVING SOUTH
Psychological Moment For Winder and Barrow
County To Become Interested Unless We
Are To See Other Towns Profit To
The Exclusion of Our Own
ATLANTA BUILDERS AND ENGIN
EERS EMPLOYED ON BIG NORTH
CAROLINA CONTRACT.
Announcement last week that the
building contract for the transfer
of a large unit of the manufactur
ing plant of the Jencks Spinning com
pany, of Pawtucket R. 1., from that
city to Gastonia, N. C., had been let to
the Abernathy Construction compapny,
of Atlanta and, Boston, presages a
movement of considerable moment, to
ward the south, according to L. W.
Robert, whose office. Robert & Cos. Ine.
are engineers for the Jenckes compa
ny's new southern plant.
“The Jenckes Spinning company is
the first actually to let contracts for
the movements of units to the south,”
said Mr. Robert, “I)ut in addition to
this company there are no less than
half a dozen others who are right
now contemplating such a move. Some
of them are now .surveying this terri
tory- for suitable locations. More favor
able labor conditions and better condi
tions generally to be found in the south,
together with the nearness of this sec
tion to the raw cotton market, better
freight conditions and milder climate
are all factors which are operating to
make this talked of move a matter of
actual fact.’”
‘A g’fcat many of these companies have
selected North and South Carolina for
the location of their mills, primarily on
account of the activity of interests and
communities in these states who are
on the job and who are selling the idea
of locations there rather than further
south. There i* no reason for Georgia
not getting its share of this new devel
opment, and now is certainly the psy
choiocical moment for communities in
terested to bestir themselves unless they
are to see other sections profit by the
movement to the exclusion of Georgia."

CHURCH EVANGELISM
Rev. Jesse M. Dodd
Almost it seems that in what men
call modern terms the churches are te
giuuing to express their true mission in
the world. W/> prate knowingly of
“Evangelism,” “Church Evangelism,”
“Child Evangelism” and all the rest, as
if the church had amy other business
but to bring men to Jesus. We are put
ting particular stress on “Enlistment”
too, these latter days. Enlistment in
what? What is enlistment, if it is not
harnessing our lives to those around
us and beyond us by cords of love and
persuasion and compelling influence in
bringing them to Jesus? Sometimes
we use the term enlistment, I fear, a
if it meant something else but soul
winning, life saving service in making
and training disciples to our Lord.
The First Baptist church is making
Soul Winning and Life Saving (Evan
gelism and Enlistment) the two big
tilings in 1923. The church accepted it
responsibility and has asked the Pas
tor to do the preaching during the Spe
cial Evangelistic season beginning Sun
day, April 22, and the Pastor is count
ing on the most earnest, intense person
al evangelism on the part of the mem
bership, for while we grant there is a
place and a work for the evangelist of
the right type, we do not believe that
we can “grow in the grace and knowl
edge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ” unless we are walking in His
steps,” and de do remember that “the
Son of Man enme to seek and to save
that which was lost.” To SEEK out to
save. We cannot SAVE sinners, but
we can SEEK them, and if we are fol
lowing Jesus, we ARE seeking them.
