' EYES of nation
ARE ON GEORGIA
SAYS ARKWRIGHT
By ERNEST CAMP
es.c!ent Georgia Press Association
Georgia cities and towns continue
o call elections to vote on passing
upon a five-year tax exemption for
new industries, and every section of
the state is joining in an invitation
to outside capital to come in and
make this its abiding place.
W e congratulate these counties and
municipalities upon this publicspirit
ed, progressive step and commend
their example to those communities
-which as yet have failed to take ac
tion.
That Georgia is in the infancy of
its industrial development, which will
attain increasing proportions within
the coming years, there is every rea
son to believe.
That we stand in need of more
industries in various sections of the
state, and that they would bring new
life blood to our economic affairs,
there can be no doubt.
Unlimited Resources
That the state offers unrivaled ad
vantages in the way of climate, raw
materials, labor and unlimited elec
tric power admits of no argument.
Georgia offers an inviting field to
manufacturing enterprises, and the
best way to get them is to convince
them that we have the essentials
they are looking for and that a warm
welcome awaits them in our midst.
Such is the opinion of P. S. Ark
wright, president of the Georgia Rail
way & Power Company, and one of
the state’s foremost captains of in
dustry, who has written me as presi
dent of the Georgia Press Association
as follows:
“Where is there a state that has
more to offer the manufacturer seek
ing a site for his factory or the man
seeking a place to make his home
than Georgia?
Many Possibilities
“Georgia’s industrial possibilities,
though development has hardly be
gun, have attracted the attention of
the nation. The development will
follow.
“Almost every day we hear of new
industries that have selected Georgia
as their future home. The heads of
the industries in other sections are
learning what we have always known
—that you can look the country over
and you’ll never find a better place,
a safer place, a place where property
rights are better protected and where
opportunities are more glorious than
in Georgia.
“The natural trend of industries
to our state has been increased by
the desire of manufacturers to locate
in a section where friendly public
sentiment assures fair and generous
treatment of invested capital, where
there is abundant raw material.,
where there is ample and dependable
electric power, where labor is plenti
ful, intelligent and friendly, and
where living conditions most nearly
approach the ideal.

various public utilities companies in

Georgia with the Southeastern Pow
er & Light Company, power is now
available to any industry, no matter
how great it is, that may wish to lo
j cate in Georgia.
“Before the recent merger many
small towns did not have any electric
service at all, or they had inadequate
service. Some had electricity at
! night only, some only part of the
; night. Some few of them had serv
j ice all day, some had no service at
| all. Their power was generated in
I most cases by some isolated steam
plants. Now, as a result of the mer
ger, all of these cities and towns
have been, or soon will be, connected
I up by high-tension transmission lines.
“Their distributing systems have
been modernized or rebuilt, and each
I of the small towns has avaiable the
power from the big chain of hydro
electric developments on the Tallulah
! and Tugalo rivers and from the coal
fields of Alabama and the watersheds
of Tennessee and the Carolinas.
“It is fine to have all of the ad
vantages we have in the large cities,
all the comforts and conveniences of
, electric light and power service. The
i new arrangement brings the same ad-
I vantages of electric service to the
small towns and villiages. No matter
how small the town, it becomes a city
in its electric service, and the day ap
proaches when electricity will be
available also to the farms. Not only
i will this improve living conditions
throughout the state, but it will aid
in the industrial development of
Georgia, because it increases the
i number of available sites having the
prerequisite of industrial develop
; ment, an abundant supply of depend
able electric power.”
Advertising and Good
Product Chief Factors
Frigidaire’s Success
j
How newspaper advertising, coupl
ed with a good product, has enabled
a lusty young organization to over
whelmingly dominate a national in
dustry within a comparatively few
months, has been reavealed by E. G.
Biechler, president and general man
j ager of Frigidaire Corporation, sub
sidiary of General Motors, in Editor
' and Publisher.
“Four out of every five electric
refrigerators now being installed are
Frigidaire,” said Mr. Biechler. “We
attribute our present supremacy in
i this vast, rapidly developing field to
the fact that we have not only made
\ a good product, but have also told
\ the public about it.
j “Today, Frigidaire, one of the
the youngest members of General
I Motors group, ranks second in unit
sales and third in annual sales vol
; ume. Before we started newspaper
advertising, less than two years ago,
i* had taken us six years to sell 90,-
; 000 Frigidaires. That number now
represents less than three months
business for us.

Dr. George W. Truett of Dallas,

of the Southern Baptist Convention
j for president at the recent session at
Louisville, and he entered upon his
new relationship by challenging the
i people and churches of his denomi
' nation to a deeper spirituality and
| a fuller consecration to the task of

I world.

there during much of the year, re
ports that were gratifying to a large
degree were presented by the var.ous
agencies and institutions of the Con
; vention.
Missionaries Do Effective Work
The Foreign Mission Board re
j ported 531 American missionaries
I and 2,644 native helpers in its em
ploy. A total of 12,085 baptisms
were had on the foreign fields during
the yeas - . Today the Board reports
1,215 churches with 140,488 members
and I.SIS Sunday schools with 76,-
991 pupils on the foreign fields,
along with 3,247 preaching stations
other than churches, and nine hos
pitals in which 69,583 patients were
; treated during the year. The For
eign Mission Board believes order
will be restored in China soon and
that larger mission opportunities
than have ever existed before w r iil
soon be presented there.
By the Home Mission Board 923
missionaries were employed during
the year. These reported 36,233 ad
ditions to the churches, the orp;>”i
zaVon of 168 new churches and 6
new Sunday schools, and the build
ing or repair of 278 houses of wor
ship.
From its current receipts of $3,-
806,416.27, the Sunday School Board
was able to put $444,028.41 into gen
eral denominational work, while its
Educational Department reported
103,145 teacher training awards
given to Sunday school workers, and
the Architectural Department gave
assistance to 1,476 churches in plan
ning their buildings.
Aid in the sum of $156,252.07 was
given to aged or disabled preachers,
or dependent members of their
families by the Relief and Annuity
Board, the total number of benefi
ciaries carried by the Board now be
ing 1,145.
The promotional work of the Con
vention for the support of its mis
sionary, educational and benevolent
interests was continued, though un
der the direction of a somewhat dif
ferent and enlarged personnel. Mem
bers of the new executive commit
tee will represent the several states
on the promotional body; the ata*e
and general secretaries are retained
as before; while the editors of the
several Baptist state papers are
added to this group this year. The
total financial objective set by the
several states for 1927 is $8,096,666,
and if this amount is realized in
distributable cash it will net approxi
mately $3,887,000 for the various ob
jects of the Southern Baptist Con
vention, the remainder going to the
various state enterprises of the de
nomination. Every effort will be put
forth to attain this total objective.
Expenses Will Be Controlled
In an effort to bring the fiscal
affairs of the Convention into better
chape, the Convention voted to estab
lish the policy of budget control,
whereby each board and agency c-f
the Convention will be required to
bring its expenditures each year
vithln its cash receipts, thus pre
venting the accumulation of debts.
Indicating the progress in the sev
eral churches during the past as
iational year, the report of the
. . atistical Department shows 26,003
v. hite Southern Baptist churches with
i total of 3,708,253 members; 21.777
.lunday schools with 2,724,367 pupils;
19,775 B. Y. P. U’b, with 498,4t0
members; 21,660 W. M. U. organiza
tions which made contributions in

property with a valuation of $184,-
719,387, and total contributions for
