Few Jf any men in Macon have given moro.^arn^Kt work, to the building up of the city than, Mr. Hinry Horne. He h;i« taken a” keen Interest for a number of. years in all question that affect Us interests and prosperity, lienee his views on the material con dition and prospects herewith pre-- senttd irf an interview had with him. yesterday deserve and will carry great weight. , While admitting that In certain lines of business there has been a curtail ment in the volume transacted, he contends that the same has been brought about by causes, the citizens of Macon,"no .matter how wide awake they may have been to their interests, could not have prevented, notably the construction of new lines of railway projected by other cities which have been the means of cutting off much territory formerly enjoyed by our mer chants before their construction. This decrease In tho.volume of trade can be offset* however, says Mr. Hwrne, by engaging in new manufacturing en terprises and the enlargement of thoso already existing. “There Is a sufficient Increase con templated by the manufacturing plants now operating in the city," ho con tinued, “which will be developed wjthin tho next six months to more than re gain tho loss tho merchants sustained, and if I mistake not in my calcula tions, I am confident the coming fall business will bo ns great as has ever been enjoyed by tho merchants of this c|ty. I make this statement from tho following facts, showing what Is con templated in new- manufacturing en terprises and what will bo done in the way of increasing the capacity of those already existing.. The list of changes, while It may not be complete, will serve to bear out my prophecy: “Slovens Bros. & Co. have already contracted for largely increasing the output of their pottery works. “The Georgia Southern and Florida Railway Company have during the past week purchased three acres in addition to their present holdings, for the purpose of enlarging their shops and yard facilities. “The B. IS. Willingham Plow Com pany have about decided to add addi tional lines to the product now manu factured by them which will keep their /works in operation for the entire year, In placq of six or seven months, aB is now the case. ‘.'The. Central of Georgia Railway Company have recently acquired from the city a largo encroachment on Tine, between Sixth and Seventh streets, for the enlargement of their shops and yard facilities. “I am informed by Superintendent Boauprlo of the Southern that he is now in negotiation with Tennessee par ties to establish a long needed indus try In. this city, and application for the space wanted has already been filed with the city officials. “The Acme Brewing Company has recently doubled the capacity of -its bottling works and are now making arrangements to enlarge the capacity of their brewing plAnt. “The McCaw Manufacturing Com pany, after having utilised nearly eyory foot of ground that their present plant occupies, have recently pur chased an additional half acre for the purpose of adding other departments to their already* extensive business. “Tho Bibb Manufacturing Company havo about completed the addition of nearly ono hundred and fifty feet to tho dyeing department of their East Macon mill plant, while tho Manches ter mills are on tho ove of contracting a largo additional supply of machinery for tho increase of their product. “The Central City lco Works have within the last three months enlarged their ict phi lit by doubling its capacity and provid.bg atom go for one thousand tons of Ice. thereby protecting ths citi zens of Macon aud surrounding sections from alt danger of on ice famine. “iVhoflcM 6oua* Iron Works have on- larged 4 heir plant, which has been fol lowed (by the reopening of tho old Crockett foundry under the management of Mallary Bros. & Co. mid tho Rey nolds iron foundry, where a largo force Will be employed, has reopened. “The Winn-Johnson Company today concluded arrangements for the remoral of their present business to more com modious quarters, and their plant will bo enlarged at least 50 per cent of its present capacity. Berud & Co. are now negotiating with the otviurs i*f -tbalr present quarters for increased room In order to. extend tn® branch of the manufacturing busi ness they arc engaged in. “The C. II. Week# Manufacturing, Company have recently completed ar rangement* for the manufacture of a new lino of goods in councctian wjth tho product in which they are engaged in manufacturing. “W. 'll. Ashworth lias nitont decided upon adding the manufacture of wagons to bis present bindnc**. 'JA prominent cotton gin manufactur ing company is Mv entertaining a prop osition from Macon parties to remove Its plant to this city and to incrcaso its capacity. "Aft" 1 to these I am Boar negotiating with the city for the lease of a portion of the ream® for the purpose of estab lishing a large woodworking plant to utilize tho hard woods In the Ocmulgeo swamp*. The parties controlling the plaut have* already visited Macon and are now perfecting arrangements for tho removal of their plant to this city. This will mean the Increase of it* working fore® from at least one hundred and twenty-ttve to one hundred and fifty. The P*£H U under the control of one of the most successful mill men In Georgia, and from a recout conversation hid with him 1 anr led to believe that the re moval of his Plant to (Macon and the en- gaging in the business Indicated, will result In several woodworking plants benig established lu connection there with. The Amount of space that wli) be required for this plant, In connectlou with other partbw who proposo to estab lish a large terra cotta works in this city, will jvqulni several acres. “Tit- Southern Phosphate Works are making rapid prootBU with the lm* prow®merits that Will double -their pres ent capacity. Tho improvements re quired for emargin# the waiter mains of the water, company and providing for the r.ew pumping nation, thit the increased demand- by the growth of our city n»>w requires, will cost fully f 100.000. •The re-arranging of tb? telephone system now nearing completion will ag. grcg«<e at Irast $100,000. • S noe success ia assured there it »om any d->ubi but that the mod complete brick pl.int in the £outh will built and $30,000 will b* invited In the enterprU*. Fhfdzn partki* hive no- titled ptomlncr* Macon putW that tisey arc ready fo make a large in vestment iiv a piant «»f this character. “The quary at Is now in read- laeae for shipment* of jelly stone and by June 1 the Quincy Granite Company w:ll start Ah.ixiu ruR. “If <herv 4s added, to the Ik of abov<_ *iv*n, ih<* amount to be expended by Khodty for paving putik*.*, tn* grtn: f'r ■:!»e w..rk .outlined. will r»ni over t!,W),5W. «* »l will §jv> mem t«> •ewrul huo>\d (MHnvb, “lu Oth-r taiB-.nsas lines, a Urge whole- jitl't »iio« honsv, and a largo whole sale clothing house are now negotiating for the rental of the Wolff & Harp build- iog to be ulfised for thetr Joint pur- poses. “The good r.nuHs that will follow from those Industries, I am confident, trill largely exceed ihe sustained in the post from other cause*. While the city of Mnrou has porUai* lost In come measure \»y reason of railroad ooneolidi- tlofl and the IniUdlng of new lines, there Is a hopeful sign noon likely to develop that will add much encouragement from these aonrees, notably, the extension of tJi^ M.i'-on and Dublin railway to con nect with the Georgia and Alabama tail- rood, which will give our. merchants com- pelUlou cm both Western and Eastern freights. In ibis connection, It U more than p -Lit.:- that 'in- «-.»nu*n.p::r- 1 from Churlesloii, B. C./ will connect with the Macon and Dublin, giving us further competitive advantage* on Eastern freights, “When it is understood as a fact that the popnatlon and wealth of the terri tory tributary to Macon and naturally her trading section, is rapidly growing every day in the year there seems to be no reason why 'the city should not corre spondingly increase in population and wealth. Tuft question U simply one of brains and canilul, and in tugt respect It would be folly 4o aay that the Central City i* not possessed of aa much of both as any city in the South. •'<'.i;11'i.11111„* i'l’.Mirn-. H a ,i• - proper amoiiut of energy, results will fof.ow which will astound oven the most hopeful of our citizens. The fact that the «-<li;'H»i->n.il a>!vai;i.i■ i -.f M;,. , :i it- »up'-ri>>r to ill"— oi any .S.>uth«-r;i is yearly adding largely to our popula tion and will continue to do so. “It.is a well known fact that c’ltle* arc now competing with each other, as merchant* have, to do, in. order to in crease their trade and these cities per ming thj m*i?t progrtv>ive .no naturally reaping the reward of In creased (property values and citizen ship* I dam say that no ono wlil de pute the fact that Macon is keeping pace with any pf ther bisters. 'The time has arrival when the com petition of brain® U entering largely into the make-up and advancement of tho cities, and <Lh!e fact is one of the main factors in. tho success of one of our neighboring cities attaining her present position. Men of -capacity in thut city, i\ cognizing that in order 4o largely Increase its population* as well as its property values, flr*»t sought to t*ecure a large holding of different of real cslate, WImn mu • ob tained they paugrht the ways, and avail ed themselves of them, of utilizing those holdings by tho encouragement and locating of manufacturing indus tries. The result $»• been the value of their real cKt.ite holiiius have in • ed from one to thirty fold, und a profit has been realized by dividend® on in- vestments made in the plants, thus multiplying the benefit**. “Heal estate values In Macon today, comparing tho possibilities of this city, its advantage*, etc., with other cities in .tho South arc fully CO per cent, lower than elsewhere. What has followed a' concerted action other place® can be repeated without risk right here. There must be. however, to accomplish anything, a unity of txurpwe, a toying aside of prej udice tmd a uni toil effort to build up the Interests of «thls city. Th-s accomplish ed, greater prosperity would ensue in •tho near future than we have ever known. It may never have occurred to the property owners of Macon that a fund raised by them not exceeding & per cent, of their real estate holdings devoted atiiotly to developing 'manu facturing enterprises would result in Increasing their property values at least 38 1-3 per cent, ami 1f properly handled would earn a large interest upon tlw money invested direct from Plants established. 4 “If it is not feasible to raise aihind in this way there arc 160 men In the city ranging Jn wealth from $25,000 to $1,000,000 who should come together and raise a fund sufficient to meet tho offer- Inxs that are constantly being present ed for tho location of enterprises, here. Buch a company, If Conned, would.add within not more than five years, CO per cent, to Macon's present population. “It Is an uiidlspuicd fact that -there has not been established Jn this city a manufacturing plant, no matter of wha-t character, managed <by men of experience' who have devoted their ’tlmo and talents to Us proper conduct, that ha.* failed, and where there has been failure it I* a matter of record that the management was intrusted to inexperienced men not only lacking In burin ‘sn ability, but who did not de vote tho Ume and intention essential to success. This record la one that cannot be challenged ami 'should serve to coh- vinco others that what ha* been dune can Iai repeated. It would be absurd to say that a company, such ns I have outlined under the guidance of a board such as could bo named, would not prevo successful from Its conception, Amongst the men I would mention oil would command success are Maj J. F, Hanson. Hubert H. Plant, J. D. Hough, the Willing bam brothers, the Block brothere, Schofield brothers, Crutch field brothers, Stevens brothers, C. I>. ’FlmUoy, T, C. Hendrix. D. H. Howes, pol. Bonner. Wallace McCaw, Roush brothers. T. J. Carling. Wilder s Bon®, It. J. Taylor, Call Johnson, Cooper Winn, O. Bernd and others who .have •wen • equally successful. Every ? n< * . . 9*. 4hew gentlemen have for a number of years and are now conducting successfully manufac turing enterprises, the oapueity which is yearly being increased, ahd I company managed under their direc tion would guarantee an investment with practical certainty. "Another fAot. that should not be overlooked i*. that as soon as the citi zens of Macon can be brought to a re aUz&tkm of the possibilities of nhelr city. If there is united action , many hundreds of thousands of dollars now invested by them in securities paying not exceeding 3*4 to 4*4 pn* cent, inttr- •ot would be convened into cash and Invested into industrial securities which could be made to pay three times that interest. It U a fact that tbo apathy of our citixriw, coupled With prejudice and petty animosltle®, account In a large tmnauro for there being at loan a half million of dollara on depodt in Wrings tanks not yWd- ng over 4 per cent. If theBe lit He jealouslps could be removed, a large portion of this money would seek employment In the channel* of trade, prove more profitntde to the Investor and add largely to the property value of every citizen in the community. "I am confident wtrrn a cartful re- view Is nude of what we have, no mat ter what baa,been predicted 4n time.* past Tor our cky. can be realized. A conservative leader, one in whom our pe>tpk- would have confidence, If he could unify our cltltcns In tha work that should be a pride to them to un dertake. could within a very short time bring out of almost chaos a develop ment. the momentum of which onre started w.»uM add millions to our pres on* wealth and thousand* to our pre* ent populatkm. It Is to be hoped thn. someone will undertake this great work broaden and colargo its soope and bring succe«s In every way. It only needs a moderate amount of co-opera- tlon from our cltixens to accomplish the work an l to reap tho full reward of success in any effort they are unitedly engaged in.“ In summing up Mr. Horne stated that It W«9 n- t his intention Bo puit bt- iV>re the of ihe readfTS of the Tcle- f«9aph a picture with false ooJorlrg. but that he had st«t<nl fact* that as- OOBPdhur as they are. were truths and thn^ who knew n*/:h'.ng of UK It city, exrept thp rtvat lnt$rvviX9 t»- tax.nth (r 1» >inoe and offire.v ►h »uldl»e Acquainted wuh them—and once ac quaint-«l witii an insight of what was in *torv f»>r thi> cky. that ‘h» > a- j'„l ce a*« Jr viking an! add their effort.* to that of other* to tbo upbuildm* >f thetr . cKjr.
