How to Secure
Industries—
A prominent manufactu. er was
speaking to one of the business'
men’s organizations of Anniston,
Alabama. Here's a pertinent
paragraph from his speech, taken
en from the Anniston Star;
“Anniston’s prosperity is assur- i
ed and insured by her pay rolls. i
There are few cities of the same i
size with the annual payrolls of
this city, and many cities much
larger with less manufacturing in
terests.
“The thing for the men of An
niston to do now, is to get new
and diversified industries. Send
some competent men to the furni
ture manufacturing centers and
let them study that business and
return here and organize a furni
ture factory. Let him, or another
competent man visit other indus
tries in other sections, and arrange
for another factory in some other
line. In a few years, these plants
which will necessarily have to be
gin in a small way, will develop
into great industries, which will
build a big city here.
“Anniston needs to advertise
her resources and advantages.
There are hundreds of people who
are looking for just such a city
as we have here, but they cannot
know about it unless we tell them.”
The speaker is a manufacturer.
He says GO, SEE, then come
back and organize . In oth
er words, pay rolls may be had
if the men of a city believe in,
their city strong enough to put
their money and time into its de
velopment. "In a few years," he.
says, “these plants, whfich will
necessarily have to begin in a
small way, will develop into great
industries.’’ Most beginnings start
in a small way, but they START.
The cities of the South which
are known as industrial cities start
ed just as this manufacturer ad
vises Anniston to start. Once a
few industries get under way, oth-!
ers follow. If we watch cotton!
mijl development, we find that a 1
new mill prefers a location where’
there already is a successful mill. |
It simplifies problems. For ex-j
amples there are Columbus, West!
Point, Macon, Griffin and other,
Georgia cities.
In a recent issue of "Commerce
and Finance,” the New Industries
Comrriit.tee of the Columbus
Chamber of Commerce has a full
page advertisement with a picture
of one of Columbus’ cotton mills,
and the advertisement states that
This cotton mill is 1,100 feet long
—is six stories high and houses in
the main building 125,000 spin
dles, requiring for its operation
from 2,500 to 3,000 employes. It
is modern in every respect. This
mill was established in Columbus,
Georgia, about twenty-five years
ago on a very modest scale. Ex
ceptionally favorable conditions
peculiar to Columbus and good
management have been responsible
for its development to its present
proportions—the largest mill in the
South under one roof.
This mill is one of fourteen suc
cessful cotton goods enterprises in
Columbus every one of which has
a very simliar history. All are
good dividend-earners and operate
steadily year in and year out.
The advertisement then sets
forth the advantages that Colum
bus offers new industries in the
following language:
Five years tax exemption for
new industries.
Dependable hydro-electric pow
er.
Reliable native-born labor.
No labor disputes or strikes.
Big surplus supply of cotton
Coal ,iron and timber handy.
Rail and river transportation.
Very low building costs.
Pure, soft river water.
Absolute freedom from malaria.
Pure drinking water supply.
Plenty of low rental houses.
Efficient street transportation.
Fine churches and schools.
Commission - manager govern
ment.
Friendly public sentiment.
Mild winters and summers.
This mill, which is 1,1 00 feet
long and six stories high, employ
ing 3,000 operatives started "on
a very moderate scale," and to
day there are “fourteen success
ful enterprises in Columbus, every
one of which has a very similai
history.’’ That point; that’s the
I meat in the story.
I Columbus men started and oth
! ers have come until now that pro- 1
gressive city is one of the most
prosperous in the State, but it
' was Columbus men who made the
initial investment.
Once we are able to prove to
the industrial world that WE be
lieve in ourselves, then they will
believe in us. Amercius needs
pay rolls, and Americus may se-j
I cure pay rolls, provided Ameri-,
j cus business men are willing to
do what other busines men in oth
er cities have done and are doing, j

Firemen Have No
Right to Strike—
Last week the Moultrie fire
men demanded a raise in salary,
of $1 0 a month. When refused, ;
the firemen walked out they 1
struck- They left the city at the '
mercy of fire, should one have
occurred.
These firemen may have de
served a raise or they may not. I
Os that we do not know, nor does’
it enter into this discussion. If the
firemen were dissatisfied it was
their right to resign and seek oth
er fields, after giving sufficient
notibe, but FIREMEN and PO-1 )
L ICEMEN have no right to strike. |
They hold the lives and welfare)
of women and children in their i
hands. Theirs is not a n indivd
ual question, but one that affects
the entire comfnunity.
We do not deny the right of
labor to organize and to use its
only weapon—that of resigning or
I quitting en mass, but this right
cannot be extended to police and
firemen, any more than to soldiers
and sailors.

Gen. Lee Born After
Burial of His Mother
The recent one hundred and
first anniversary of the birth of
General Robert E. Lee recalls the
little known fact that he was born
) more than a year after his mother
' had been buried. This historical
1 incident was recently recounted
) in the columns of the Southern
i Star, and it furnishes the world
| with one of the most astonishing
, cases of reviviscence on record.
, The facts as related by the South
| ern Star follow .
I General Lee’s mother was by no
means an entirely healthy woman
and the physician at Startford, Va.,
the home of Henry Lee, Light
K'orse Harry, was kept in constant |
attendance. Mrs. Lee suffered
from catalepsy, and during a pro
longed trance she was pronounced
dead. The body was prepared for
interment,.and the morning of the
third day after her supposed death,
the remains were laid in the family
vault, in the graveyard of that pret
ty little village.
Members of the family made
frequent visits to the vault and
while the sexton was cleaning up
and arranging some flowers to be
placed on the caskets, he heard
a faint voice, as though someone
calling for assistance. Os course,
the old man was somewhat alarm
ed, but as he had seen many years
of service in the “city of the dead”
he did not leave the vault. He
listened closely and the voice was
distinctly heard again. Becoming
satisfied the voice came from with
. in the casket, he at once set to
.1 work and opened it, discovering
1 Mrs. Lee was alive. Releasing the
poor woman from her awful fate,
assistance was soon sommoned and
within a short time she was safe
in a bed at home.
Mrs. Lee’s recovery was slow,
but she did regain good health, and
a little more than a year after she
was buried alive her youngest son,
Robert E., was born, and thus
came into the world one of her
bravest men.
Being mistaken now and then isn’t
half as big a mistake as never being
mistaken.
The wind is blowing in the trees,
it’s time to pull the ancient wheeze
of saying farewell to beeveedees.
There are times when we know
the world can’t be as bad or os good
t as we think it is.
i It’s a wise man who knows he
- isn’t.

If the Locarno pact is lived up to, (
the end of war has at last come. I
Indeed, “the war to end war” I (
may be no longer a disillusioned ’ (
dream, but a sober fact. In theory,'
at last, war between Germany and:
France has become impossible, with i
Britain and Italy as guarantors. |
There is nowhere else in western
Europe where war could break out,
and with the west united the east
would be helpless to make success
ful trouble. Europe, at least, bids
fair to be as safe as the vain at
tempts of the Treaty of Versailles
sought to make it.
■ <
The real test well come on the j
Misarming of France. The new past (
removes every excuse for the pres
ent staggering military burdens of
France, unless it is the excuse of
confidence in the pact itself.
If France will not trust the agree
ment, no one else will rely on it.
If France does trust it, disarma
ment will follow. Then Europe, for
the first time in history, is safe,
and the new era of mankind begins
to be a reality.
And fortunately, very practical
considerations urge France to rea
sonableness. France in statistically
on the verge of bankruptcy. Its
prospective expenditures are beyond
its prospective revenues.
This does not mean that is would
actually go bankrupt, even of noth
ing were done. Nations have away
of surviving such things.
But it does mean that it will pay
France enormously to show faith in
the good faith of Germany, espe
cially as that faith is guaranteed by
Britain and Italy. It is well that
self-interest is added to principle.
The combination is invincible.
The culmination is also a vindi
cation of the value of intelligence,

judices. The last election in Germany
was regarded in many quarters as a
menace to the peace of the world.
The Nationalist victors had been
chosen on an impossible platform of
defiuace to the obligations of Ger
many and the sentiment of the world
If their paper program had been
carried out it would have meant
war, the suicide of Germany, and
the destruction of Europe.
The only possible excuse for the
election of the Nationalists was that
they were personally intelligent men
—perhaps the most intelligent group
of natural leaders left in Germany.
Once in power, under responsbibil
ity, they used their brains to face
facts. The result is that, out of a
party of defiance, we have the first
fruitful step of conciliation.
If you need a real job done, get
men of brains to do it.
The next step is a disarmament
conference.
President 2°°fidge would like to
gall that conference under American
auspices, as a sequel to the Was
ington Conference. The League c
Nations would like to call in under
League auspices, as a matter of
prestige. Both can not be held.
Which one is held will perhaps de
pend on a blancing of motives. E
urope would like to strengthen the
League, as against the weakening
tendency of American abstention.;
But Europe would also like to en
list American co-operation on ' a
larger scale.
It will be a question of which is
Wanted most.
But there are real reasons,
even from the American standpoint,
why it might be more desirable for
us to leave it to the Leagueu. We do
not object to increasing the League’s
prestige. We are not against the
League at all, for its members. If it
can do them good, so much the bet
ter.
All our “anti-Leagues” want is
to keep out of the League ourselves.
And the best way to do that would
be for us, to leave this conference
to the League. We hav e nothing to
disarm, in the way of land forces.
I sometimes kinda wonder what they mean by sayin’ “rest.”
It simply doesn’t seem to be a thing with which I’m blest. My work
starts in the morning, just as soon as lam dressed. I never have a
moment’s peace although I try my best.
The morning meal is started, and the coffee’s put to boil. The
house is paper-littered, and it shows the need of toil There always
is a bit of rush and scrimmage,' as a rule, to feed and dress the
youngsters so’s to get them off to school.
1 wait upon my husband, and 1 put his laundry out. He’s late
in getting started, and he keeps me rushing ’bout. My nerves are
rather ruffled by the vacuum cleaner’s hum. At noon I turn to lunch
eon, when I hear the kiddies come.
Towards afternoon the kitchen calls. Potatoes I must peel. I
work around the oven as I plan the evening meal. The children and
the; daddy never know a mother’s test. I sometimes kinda wonder
what they mean by saying “rest.’’
We are already n.- re disarmed than
Germany.S'o we have nothing to of-j
fer to such a conference, as we had ■
to the naval disarmament confer- I
nece.
But the conference itself, as be- I
tween its European members, all of 1
whom are members of the League,
will have many disarmament pro
vis ons for which the League, to
them, will be much the best, indeed
the only, organ of administration.
We have no objection to this use I
of the League, for its members, if
they want it.
But we are not prepared to be a
party to it. If agreements should be
made in which we do not wish to
share, we will do best to let others
make them without our help.
When a man says he’ll never mar
ry it is just because he doesn’t
Know what kind of girls there are
in the world.
Be quiet. Then you will know
what others think of you. And they
won’t know what you think of them.
Don’t tell all you know. It is dis
couraging to learn how little it
really is.
Sometimes one person doesn’t like
another because they a’re alike,
which is embarrassing to both.

To Dr. W. •B.
Caldwell, of Monti
cello, 111., a prac
ticing physician for
47 years, it seemed
cruel that so many
constipated infants
and children had to
be kept constantly
“stirred up” and
half sick by taking
cathartic pills, tab
lets, salts, calomel
dr.callwell! ar “! oil Y
Willie he knew
— that constipation
was the cause of nearly all children’s
little ills, he did not believe that a
sickening “purge” or “physic” every
little while was necessary.
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which regulates
the bowels. A single dose will estab
lish natural, healthy bowel movement
for weeks at a time, even if the
child was chronically constipated.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only
causes a gentle, easy bowel move
ment but, best of all, it is often
months before another dose is neces
sary. Besides, it is absolutely harm
less, and so pleasant that even a
cross, feverish, bilious, sick child
gladly takes it.
