■'It? ®tt Itrald and ^dcertisoi. Hewnan, Ca., ftlday, fleb. 3, 1888. WEEKLY CIRCULATION, I.7S0. JAH. E. BROWN. Editor. Small ManofactariM. The News was talking with President Kincaid, of the Griffin lffills, tlie other tfav, when he said : ''Why don’t you advocate the estab- ijghin;>' of more manufacturing enter prises here V” Just as if we had been doing anything ,*lse for the last six years. "That is the only thing that will build up the town,” continued Mr. Kin caid. "Situated between two cities like Atlanta and Macon, it is useless to think at present of doing much of a jobbing trade. "But there is no place better situated for manufacturing. With timber of all binds on our rivers and bottoms, al most at our very door, anything that is made of wood can be easily produced. A one-horse wagon that will sell tor *4. r > can be made for $27 at the outside. But instead of making them, we buy them in Indiana and pay the freight on them. This is simply one illustration. Iron can be brought here from Ala bama as easily and cheaply as it can be carried from Ohio to Indiana to be made into plows and other articles. Ca.pt. Kincaid did not mention this, but continued : , . , ., “Possibly it might be argued that it t.ikofi capital to go into manufacturing, though really it takes very little to start many things with. But there are some branches that require almost no capital whatever, and absolutely no •plant.’ Take the manufacture of shirts and drawers. The Griffin Mills make the very best kind of checks and drills for this purpose, and w T e would sell them to a manufacturer as cheaply as he could buy them anywhere. Then all Fie would have to do would be to rent a cheap up-stairs room somewhere—and there are plenty to be had—get a half- dozen sewing machines and go to work. Ft would cost as little to make them here as in Massachusetts or New York, and the demand is unlimited. “This would give employment to many needy women in the town who could carry them home and make them. In fact, they could all be made that way, without'a machine in the estab lishment itself. “I would not sell them at retail, but to jobbers in as large lots as they could he supplied. The business would thus be, managed with very little capital and there would lie very little trouble in dis posing of the goods.” "It seems strange to me,’ said Cap tain Grantland, who was present, “that the negroes do not wear more of these goods. They are the most durable and serviceable for the laborer, and would last four times as long as the second hand white shirts which they buy al ready worn out.” “Manufacturing,” continued Captain Kincaid, “is the surest and best way of building up a town. The Griffin Mills alone have added four hundred to the population of Griffin. And they are the best class of citizens. They spend all they make and pay for all they get, because they have to. There ought to be more of the same class here.” Tlie yews has set down the above because it is worthy of thought. It is true t hat manufacturing towns have the most enduring and permanent prosper ity because they depend upon them selves. People in the country may go to other towns, but operatives in a town must spend their money in the town. Trade thus becomes a thing to be de pended upon and is not fluctuating and unsatisfactory. The manufacturer himself, who makes a staple article ol good quality in its grade, is in a much •more enviable position than the mer chant, who knows not what a season may bring forth. Look at the Wolcott chair, a common but well made article, which, without advertising or traveling salesmen, is shipped all over the country, and the capacity of the works is taxed to supply the demand. There is no dull season tor the manufacture of these chairs. The recent failures in Griffin teach a lesson which should be lost only on the foolish. For years past there have been too many mercantile houses in Griffin for the trade, and that trade, just as all over the country, is being cut into by the small villages growing up. Why not put some of this unprofita ble capital into manufactories V More money, in proportion to the capital in vested, is generally made in small man ufactories than in large ones, and it is easy to strike out without risking much. The above is taken from the Griffin yews, and contains many practical sug gestions whose consideration and adop tion would be as helpful to Xewnan as to Griffin. Indeed, we have been argu ing on this line for weeks and months, and while we claim but little credit for it, a spirit of enterprise lias been lately engendered in the community that will undoubtedly stimulate our industrial wherever found, and surely no condition is more demoralizing in its effects upon the community at large—because idle ness, whether voluntary or enforced, is a natnral incentive to vice and vaga- bondage. Our people have wisely chosen the only course that can be relied upon to buildup the waste places and add trade and population to the town. For every wheel of industry set in motion, there will be scores of wage-workers, whose entire earnings will be spent or Invested here at home; and every wage-worker becomes a good citizen, because self- supporting and independent. No town tlie size of Newnan can afford to im pend exclusively upon the trade of the agricultural classes. Crops are uncer tain, and the trade from that source is equally fluctuating and unreliable. In manufacturing it is different. A cer tain number of hands are em ployed regularly, on a fixed scale of wages, and the amount of money put into circulation each week or each month is known to a certainty. More over, the volume of trade from this source is the same the year round, sum mer and winter, and can always be re lied upon. Let us hurry up tlie cotton factory, and as soon as that is gotten well under way turn our attention to other manu facturing enterprises. There are as good openings here as anywhere, and no town in the State has better facili ties or advantages. Let the good work go on. ^_______ Our City Public Schools Are now fully organized, and the pon derous machinery has answered to tlie master-touch of our efficient Superin tendent most satisfactorily. The num ber in attendance at the white school is 278, and at the colored school between 30 and 40. Through the efforts of Superintendent Ford and his excel lent corps of teachers the work has been thoroughly systematized iii every department, and the pupils are mani festing a zeal and energy in the prose cution of their studies as gratifying as it is praiseworthy. The teachers are as signed as follows: In the Primary Department, Mrs. M. J. Nimmons has charge of the A and B grades, and Miss Connie Hartsfield the C grade. Prof. John E. Pendergrast presides over 110 ambitious boys and girls in Ar cade Hall, being ably assisted by Mrs. John E. Robinson. Mrs. D. P. Woodroof, whom every body knows and loves, and whom even the most unruly pupil delights to obey, has charge of the Grammar Department in Harmony Hall. Miss Annie Anderson, whose well- earned reputation as a teacher in Col lege Temple for several years past con veys its own merited compliment, lias charge of the A grade in the High School Department, and assists also in the Junior Class. Superintendent Ford has charge of the Junior and Senior Classes. The museum, though small and in complete as yet, attracts ti e ’e ist child by its curious specimens. It is open on Friday morning to boys, and in the af ternoon to girls. Superintendent Ford’s class in Ger man is large, and enthusiastic in mas tering this popular language. He has the happy faculty of awakening and sustaining tlie interest of his pupils, and has already infused a spirit of general and zealous emulation in conforming to his wishes, as well as to the rules of the school. The usual Friday afteriion exercises are opened at 2:15. Last Friday, Su perintendent Ford gave a short lecture on geology, illustrated by numer ous tine specimens collected by himself when making a geological tour in Texas and Arkansas. His efforts will surely create renewed interest in this attrac tive branch of study. While mathe matics and the languages receive due attention here, we insist that physiolo gy, botany and geology are equally in dispensable to a complete high school education. In Superintendent Ford’s own forcible language, “the 1\ S. course, if faithfully followed, will re sult in thoroughly educated boys and girls.” Miss Kate Andrews, of the Senior Peabody fund at my disposal until now. Meantime I have, as opportunity of fered, tried to fully inform myself as to the one great question of where the fund could be placed, to do the most f ood to the cause of education in our fate. Your statement that my predecessor had virtually promised the fund to Newnan, of course has had its due weight with me; yet I felt it was mv duty to look into the matter for myself and then, with all the lights before me, act. For some time I felt that proba bly it might be best to divide the amount; but, on maturer reflection, I came to the conclusion that it would be best to send it all to one place, and thus make it the more effective. New nan has done a noble work in behalf of the public sc. ool system, and is exert ing a strong influence whereby other communities may be encouraged and stimulated to do likewise. It gives me sincere pleasure to find that I can, in mv judgment, best subserve the inter ests I represent as State School Com missioner by aiding your gallant, grow ing little city in its energetic, earnest work in behalf of education to the full extent of the Peabody fund now at my disposal, and I most cheerfully send you a sight draft for the whole amount, to-wit: "$500. Please acknowledge re ceipt of same, and believe me to be the well-wisher of your city, its schools, and all of its true, go-ahead citizens. Yours with much respect, Jas. S. Hook, State School Commissioner. Col. Whatley is entitled to the thanks of our people for his untiring efforts in behalf of the public schools, and equal credit for the success which has so far been achieved in this direction. We acknowledge our obligations to State School Commissioner Hook, also, for his friendly interest in the success of our public school system, and the sub stantial favors already shown. The public school system is New- nan’s most enterprising venture in the educational line, and it is already a pronounced success in every respect. Our people have good cause to be proud of it.
