South’s Industries
Show Big Growth
New Producing In Manufactured Com
modities As Much As Whole U. S,
Outside Twenty Years Ago
ATLANTA, Nov. 7—lndustrial de
velopment in the South has expanded
so rapidly during the last score of
years that this section of the country
is now producing in manufactured
commodiities as much as was produ
ced in the whole country, excluding
the south, two decades ago, according
to business statisticians here today.
This progress it is shown began in
1880 when the South had barely re
covered from the destruction of the
Civil aWr, but made slow movement
until 1900, Considering conditions at
the beginning of the period gf develop
ment, manufacturers here declare the
industrial progress oi the south has
been more rapid than that of any oth
er section,
Starting at the ground, as it were,
20 years ago, the South’s industrial
production attained the huge total of
ten billions of dollars a year in 1920
and the manufacturing plants repre
sented a capitalization of seven billion
dollars,
Considering the last twenty years
as a completed period, let us contem
plate the development to be made dur
ing the next twenty years, said an At
lanta manufacturer, At the beginning
of he last twenty year period there
was practically nothing, At the be
ginning of the present twenty-year
period there is a capitaliation of seven
billion and an annual production of
ten billion, amounts equal to the capi
talization and production of manufac
turing plants in the whole countryi
exclusive of the South twenty yearsi
ago, |
Should the development of the pres
-ent period be comparable in ratio with
that of the past, this section is to un
dergo a transition such as no other
country in the civilized world has ever
experienced. And that is possible.
What has been done has been only on
the surface of our reserves,
We are still shipping the bulk of
our materiale—Cotton iron, and other
ores lumber—to northern states and
foreign countries for manufacture in
to products, When all the South’s
raw materials are being turned into
finished products in Southern plants
the enormous manufacturing totals of
today will appear as smalt in compar
ison as the totals of twenty vears ago
with those of 1920
From many sources come reports
of expanding activity in Georgia in
dustries, according to reports receiv
ed by the industrial départment of the
Georgia Railway and Power Co.
Feeling confident of the continued
high price of cotton and consequent
business activity, a group of business
men ofi Rome, Ga_, have oreanized a
new cotton mill with a capital stock
of $lOO,OOO
Other cotton manufacturing centers
in the state, such as West Point, Col
umbus, La Grange and Gainesville, re
port plants running full time, West
Point reports day and night operation
and manufacturers who a few months
ago could not use 11 cent cotton are
now demanding it at 20 cents,
Quitman Mills at Quitman_ Ga,, re
cently changed hands and will from
now on, manufacture cotton fabric
for cord tires, being affiliated with the
interests owning the Mason Tire and
Rubber Company of Kent, O, which
comapny will be the largest consumer
of the mill’s product,
At Brunswick, Ga, the state's sec
ond new port, the Yaryan Rosin and
Turpentine Company is resuming full
operation after being closed down ev
ery since last Februaty. ’
Garment factories are running over
time to fill their fall orders. Several
canning factories have resumed oper
ation and others are heing built: and
some wood working plants are runningi
day and night to fill their orders, and
for the first time in ten vears Savan
nash’s rice mill is going at a 2,000
hushels a day capacity.

It was an wispiring moment for those permitted to be preseni, when
Marshal Foch, commander-in-chief of all allied armies, visited the tomb
of Washington on his second day in America. The great French hero
placed a wreath in tribute to the genius of Washington. Foch’s arrival
in America for the American Legion convention at Kansas City .and
attendance at the Armament conference in Washington, marked the
<tart of the most enthusiastic reception ever accorded a foreign visitor.

Club Women
L
Discuss Fore:try
. 4 b
Interesting Discussion At Last Session
Of The Woman’s Club
With five of the executive members
of the Club absent, together with the
leader of the program on Wednesday
afternoon there might have been ex
pected a lack of interest, Juite on the
contrary at the close, the forty ladies
present gave a rising vote of thanks
to Mrs, Lon Dickey who had been
called to preside and who had so ably
provided for the program of Forestry,
which was presented in an originar‘#
effective way, and was not only pleas
ing but of real educational value,
First was conducted a quiz on the
wide and varied uses of wood to prove
what an indispensable element it isi
in our daily life, This was folloewd by
brief readings from typewritten slips;
bearing on the subject of Forest con-|
servation showing how almost certain
future want of various kinds of wood!
is going to affect many of our indus-‘l
tries and most valued products, One
instance is that of the hardwoods re-‘
quired for making musical instrumonts]
which is being consumed at the rate |
of four and on-half times the produc
tion. |
Then again the use of the common
pine for crating Florida alone using
12,000,000 crates for fruit and 13,000,
000 crates for vegetables annually,
The wholesale price of a fruit crate
in Floriad is now 35¢ and will continue
to rise carrying the price of shipped
fruit with it,
The scarcity and rise of newspaper
print was felt by everyone during ‘the
war when all periodicals doubled in
price and more, and the output of
woodpulp continues so limited that an
attempt to make pulp product of the
Southern pine was recently made and
demonstrated by a southern paper, but
the process was too crude to give
good results,
It is revealed that Germany is now
supplying print paper to Americans
cheaper than they can make it them
selves and why? Because from ttmes
remote Germany has practiced a sys
tem of forest conservation surpassing
any other country. The trouble with
America is first ruthless destruction
of the forests for the industries with
out the adequate replanting for future
needs, and second—the terrible de
vastations annually made by fires due
to carelessness.
Our people are not being taught
their duty in this regard. Our hope
lies in impressing all the people with
the real facts and as club women, we
should foster tree planting and wood
conservation in our own community
and keep the idea ever before the chil
dren making.the most of Arbor Day
and every day in fact.
A delightful feature of the program
was the reading given by Mrs; A, M,
Stephens;
Mrs, Ward led the club in singing
“America” with special attention to
the stanza “I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods” etc,
Business included several reports
and the election of Mesdames Wiley
Williams, Ed Hussey, J, Kassewitz,
Lester Sharpe and Preston Seanor to
membership, It was decided to accept
Miss Burkhalter’s kind offer to return
to give the scheduled reading of the
play “Come Out of the Kitchen Mary"
and' put it on Friday Nov, 11th in
connection with the annual Chrysanth-

Rehabitilation Student Must Face In
voluntary Manslaughter Charge
ATHENS, Ga. Nov4—M. A Mc
Clure was bound over to the superior
court on the charge of involuntary
manslaughter with his bond fixed at
$BOO, Friday afternoon, by Judge W,
Hilton Thomas and Justice of Peace
’Carlislc Cobb, J. C. McClure who
was held with his brother prior to the
lhearing on the murder charge was re
leased,
Bu- McClure Boys, University of
rehabitilation students were in a vellow
cut-down Ford car that collided with
the automobile of M, A McClain_, Sun
day, October 25th, throwing Mc(‘,]nin‘
out, his injuries resulting in death, |
Following the argument of Dorsey |
Davis, attorney for the state and also
for the McClain family and while the
court was waiting for the.decision of
the justices the wives of the two Mc
Clure men went over to their husbands
and embraced them, Both M(‘Clurc's‘
showed extreme nervousness while
Mr. Davis was making his charges,
and also during the interim while the
justices were making their decision,
" When Judge Thomas rendered the
decision charging M. A. McClure rnf‘
nvoluntary manslaughter, and releas
leasing J. C, McClure there was com
plete silence in the court ro ym, Neith
er of the McClure hoys moved for
several seconds after others in the
courtroom had cleared out
M. A McClure whose bond was
fixed at $BOO had not been released Tt
was said however, he would make
bond, It is understood that the two
McClures will be tried before Judgel
W. G. Cornett of the eastern division
of the northern circuit, on the liqnorl
charge in the immediate future
emum show, The committee announces
that the speciments cannot be so many
or so beautiful as on former occasions
because of the wunfavorable season,
and that no prizes will be given but
it is expected there will be about two
hundred blossoms on display, and Mrs.
S. L. Smith asks all the ladies in town
who have them for exhibit to kindly
communicate with her as carly as pos
sible.
Miss Burkhalter’s play is of high
merit and only a nominal price will
be charged as her services outside of
expenses are frce, The place and the
price will be announced later,
From the moment of entering the
club room one was aware that there
were special hostesses for the day.
Large wicker baskets of exquisite pink
paper roses combined with natural fo
liage adorned the conspicuous places,
At the close of the program the idea
of a rose luncheon was beautifully
carried out when a course of hot choc
olate and roll wafers was served from
a rose petal bordered plate out of
which the petal covered cup rose
flower like from the center, topped off
with straws daintily tied with a pink
how, Mrs. C. L. Saunders whose idea
was used, was called away by the
death of her father before the work
was completed. The other hostesses

\U. S. Begins Survey,
' Of Stocks of Coal
\‘\':\SHIN(ZT()N' Nov, 4—A surv
’f-y of the stocks of coal on hand thru
lout the country has been begun by
the commerce department, Secretary
Hoover announced yesterday. Similar
surveys, he said would be made every
sixty days as it was believed in view
of the approaching bii-ennial qiscussion
of wages by miners and operators, it
was ‘“vital” that the country should
iknnw the amount of coat it had above
ground, It was hoped, he added to
complete the first survey and publish
a preliminary report within 30 days,
The survey, Mr, Hoover continued
was being conducted by means of the
questionairres sent to many consumers
of bituminous coal inquiring as to the
stocks on hand Nov, Ist, |
Soft coal production up to Ortol)vrl
1, he said was 112,000,000 tons bch?nrl‘
last year and from 75,000,000 to 90
000,000 tons below normal, The de
crease is in part to be expected be
cause of the decline in consumption
and in exports and it does not neces
sarily mean that consumers are unwise
ly burning up their reserves, But
if there is any possibility that the
above ground reserves are below the
settle point, the government thinks
is to take account of stocks and lay
all the facts before the public, |

Cotton To Remain |
At Good Price
g
Experts Show That Growers Will Re-l

Downs of the Market |
e \
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov, 7—('jcorgia‘
‘Cotton men, as well as dealers and
brokers in other sections, unhesitat
ingly pointing to the staple as a fine
investment today declared there were
three remarkable facts about the pres
ent cotton situation, the importance of
‘which, hey say, can not be underesti
mated namely: that the big rise in
prices has been the quickest in history
coming at a time when all the world
believed that such a spectacular rise
was impossible; that the crop is the
smallest known in 35 vears, or sincc‘
1886, and is beset with dangers nfi
arowinig smaller: and that the pick.!
ing and marketing is being l'HH(lllCt('dg
with more rapidiiy th never befre. l
Rose and Son, New York Cotton
Brokers, whose private wires run in
to nearly a score of the principal cit
ics of the South, hoth members of the
firm, Randolph Rose, Sr, and Ran
dolp Rose, Ir.. heing Southerners and
former Atlantans, today declared that
the future of the staple continues one
of the most encouraging symptoms
in Southern business,
Regardless of the ups and downs of
th emarket, Mr, Rose expresses his
opinion that the crowers will receive
2t least a good price for his crop this
vear,
The men who can do the most useful
work in stabilizing and regulating the
marketing of cotton during the votal
half-vear that is before us are the mer
chante, bankers and busiiness men,
and it is their duty to do it said Mr,
Rose, 3
Coctton is still King, but his days
are numbered according to business
men here, unless radical changes are
introduced in the method of cultivation
or seme effective remedy is found for
the boll weevil.
The majority of the farmers in the
South will regret the necessity of the
abandonment of the one-crop system
which they have followed so long, but
stern necessity will drive them to it,
declare agricultural experts here who
are strongly advocating diversifica
tion, Georgia planters are being urx:-\
ed against increasing their acreage for
next year. {

“The same high idecal has inspired
vour president to convene the approach
ing conference at Washington. His
action has been welecomed throughout
the world and the nations join their
prayers for the fulfillment of his en
deavor, To bring the nations thus in
to full and free conference marks the
rea]iz*n of a paramount duty, ‘
Another world war-—and there is
grave reason to fear that in any great
war all nations must eventually be
come involved, will be infinitely more
terrible in its character and immeasur
ably more disastrous in its results,
These two English-speaking common
wealths together exercise an unequalled
nower and influence In world affairs
from that power and inf'uence equal
responsibility cannot be divorced, This
responsibility may be fulfilled not by
any formal alliance, but through com
nlete understanding and comprehen
sion throuch mutual good will and
common endeavor.”
