Great Progress Expected In
This Section
W. D. Anderson, president of the
Bibb Mfg. Cos., in a speech to the
Cotton Manufacturers Association,
last week in Atlanta, -declared that
the southeast is on the threshold of
a great development, and predicted
that the next 25 years will see the
greatest progress in this section ever
undergone in any section of the
world. He said:
“That Georgia and the whole south
east is flestined to have a great de
velopment take place, is a fact that
is now recognized by students and
business men everywhere. This de
velopment, will be both agricultural
and industrial. And in this fact is
found our greatest asset. There are
few sections of the United states so
favored as we are in the possibility
of an agricultural and industrial de
velopment going forward simultane
ously, hand in hand. Such a con
dition has always been impossible,
for instance, in New England. Nor
is it feasible in many other sections
of our great country. But here con
ditions are ideal. Our climate, the
varied character and rare produc
tivity of our soils, a generous supply
of hydro-electric power, our ample
transportation facilities by rail and
water, our homogenerous population,
are all factors that can hardly be
equaled anywhere else.
“We are not alone in recognizing
these elements that insure us of a
great future, but men everywhere
have awakened to the facts and I
do not think it any exaggeration to
say that the eyes of the whole coun
try are today turned toward the |
southeast, nor do I think it a wild
prediction to say that we shall pro
bably have here, during the next 25
years, the greatest development that
has ever occurred in any action of
our country, in a like length of time.
“After toiling laboriously uphill,
against many adverse circumstances,
we are just now over the top and
are ready to get into our full stride.
More Capital Coming
“That great wealth is to to
us as a section, is certain and sure,
since money has always been the
measure of and partner of success.
I cannot think that any one would
be disposed to offer objection to the
possibility of success and wealth
coming to this section, because I be
lieve that we can safely assume that
we will use both wisely. Certainly,
I know of no part of the country so '
much in need of things which wealth
alone can bring as is our section. |
We are deficient in educational fa
cilities of every kind. We are in
great need of better roads, our
country friends are entitled to bet
ter and more comfortable homes and
better facilities for the development
of their social life, and better church
es. Money alone can bring these
things. Other sections of the coun
try are ahead of us in these matters,
because they have had more money.
“This prosperity which I believe is
assured, will be participated in by
every one. New industries and new
mills will add to the wealth of any
community in which they are located.
The farming class particularly will
greatly profit by’ the industrial de
velopment that is ahead of us. In
Georgia today we have too many
farmers in proportion to the number
of city dwellers. I think we have
in Georgia, roughjy speaking, three
people in the country farming and
raising products of the soil for every
one -person in the city to consume
these products. The natural result
of this is that the farmer has been
forced to grow something that could
be shipped away to n distance, some
thing for which there was a foreign
market, and hence our attention to
the production of cotton, nn article
we can ship to the uttermost parts of
the world.
Blames Cotton Growing
“For my part, I believe that grow
ing cotton has been the greatest con
tributing; factor to keeping the south
poor. With the coming of an indus
trial development here, these condi
tions will be changed. The propor
tion of farmers and city dwellers,
who are the consumers of farm pro
ducts, will be better balanced and the
farmer will be given an opportunity
to grow products for the growing of
which our Georgia soil is equally as
well adapted as for growing cotton,
and he will have a ready cash market
for these products, practically at his
door, without spending a large pro
portion of its market value in paying
transportation, this cash market be
ing afforded by a happy, contented,
well employed industrial population."

iron?”

AN INNOVATION IN CHURCH
ORGANIZATION
Druid Hills Methodist church,
Atlanta, has a junior church, organiz
ed and functioning along every phase
of church activity. The meetings
are held at the usual church hour
and the services are conducted two
Sundays of the month by the children
themselves. On the other two Sun
days a visiting minister is invited to
preach.
There is a properly elected board
of stewards who act as ushers and
see to the collection taking. Many
of the children have pledged a stipu-1
lated amount w-hich they pay by the
week. A number are tithers, having
learned early the first requisite of
good stewardship.
The church has its own choir and
special numbers of different services
are prepared under the direction of
Mrs. Douglas Swaggerty.
Mrs. R. L. Russell, wife of the pas
tor, organized the church and is its
directing genius. In speaking of the
church, she said: “Children often
fight shy of the regular church ser
mon, finding its length wearisome
and the message difficult to under
stand. Unless disciplined by their
parents, they are prone to slip aw-ay
after Sunday school. Wc make the
junior church program interesting,
attractive, yet we are nourishing the
spiritual life and faith of the child.
Wo are making his church at an
early age a personal matter, with a
definite individual appeal. Children
who have been going home or roam
ing the streets while their parents
stay at church are given an oppor
tunity to attend our services and
they do so eagerly. There are more
than 200 names on roll and more
joining each Sunday. Last Sunday
more than 100 children marched in
reverently and in perfect order and
( took the sacrament. To me this was
one of the most beautiful things I
have ever seen.”
The social service part of the pro
gram is being particularly stressed.
The children are asked to bring
clothing to the church and this is
distributed to the needy of the city.
There is a sick committee to look af
ter the sick and five little girls, their
I arms laden with bright spring jon
; quils, could be seen last Sunday after
noon, accompanied by Mrs. Russell,
making their calls on sick members.
Visitors from other churches come
i each Sunday to visit this miniature
church in operation and Mrs. Russell
, is being congratulated upon her suc
cess with this wonderful ‘junior
church, which is filling such a vital
need in the young life of Druid Hills
, church.
