“Whereas, we, as citizens of
above respective counties
nize the great benefit to be derived
to the section traversed by this
highway, and
“Whereas, we appreciate the
great work of The Journal and

Camden and Charlton counties,
Georgia, and from St. Mary t s

not only be satisfactory to the

will serve as a'strong simulus to
good road building in Georgia and
we earnestly commend to
Journal and Herald the manifold
advantages of this shortest and
best route from Atlanta to Jack-

numerous trade bodies and the
road officials of the counties
through which this extension
would pass. We pledge ourselves
and guarantee that the road from
Fitzgerald through Douglas and
Waycross on to Jacksonville will

streams will be bridged and the
roads hard surfaced.
We further pledge that the sev¬
eral counties will maintain these
bridges and roads of this route.

Leading Question .
Boston, April 12.—“Misery
j d - es company,” said President
p van klin Hobbs, in his address to
t p e National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers in this city today,
referring to the fact that the Lan-
cas pj re co tt 0 n mills had been hav-
j IU r “hard sledding” as well as
those in the United States. The i
convention in Huntington Hall,
Massachusetts Institute of
nology. will also be in session to-
m0 rrow. The delegates were wel-
comed by Governor Foss, R. H.
Miller. Jr., of Charlotte, N. C.,
replying.
The association medal for 1910
was av7a rded to Charles T. Main,
Boston, in recognition of his
contribution to textile publica-
t ions.
j n b; s annual address President
H obbs said: “Last September I
remarked that the cotton manufac-
paring industry had been in troub-
lous times since we met in April
last, and I regret to be compelled
to state that the troublous times
have been continued. The cotton
crop has been a disapointment,
curtailment has continued and a
most satisfactory condition has re¬
sulted. Buying is on a hand-to-
mouth basis. Added to perplex¬
ing business condition has been
the upset political situation and
the uncertainty due to expected
decisions of the supreme court
which will have far-reaching eff ect.

be prepared to go forward.
likes company and it may be of in-
terest to know that for the year
ending November 30, 1910, seven-
ty-three concerns m Lancashire,
with a total paid-up capital stock
of $12,800,000 and an added
loan capital of $5,400,000 showed
a loss of $1,315,000 after paying
interest on loans and allowing for
depreciation. These figures are
the worst for twenty-five years.
it is undoubtedly true that the
consumption of cotton is steadily
increasing each year and it seems
equally true that this increase in
consumption will contince.
With increases of machinery
which have been made, it is evi¬
dent that the consumption of the
mills of the world on full time
would be not less than 20,000,000
bales.
The query thus arises: Where
will the additional amount of
ton needed for tae world and its
increasing population come from ?
