Lets Go After Industries
There are many classes of industries that could bo
brought to Milledgeville and operated : c.-essfully as any
where in the country.
In many c iti-vi : nailer than Milled? j ilia t~r. ugheut the
smith i an be foi nd indu. tries of the higher class that have
stood th.* t t ( f time, c vV. ■ -. i:»g the C. ct C ut tlis opera
tors have 'be. n satisfied with iho iv-ulty of their undertak
ings. Wo cun > re no i a so:: why a number cf small m um

Mill odgevillo is fuv.itc i vL a splendid freight rate and
our outlets'to ail dlrectic u are perfect. The question of
obtaining cheap power with wiiich to operate manufactur
ing plants is already settled and slmtild it be necessary for
Ui, to bring about further development in this respect such
problem could be solved without difficulty.
There is but cum Oil ay mv.-tsary for us to put into sue-
ces: e ! operatic n at lea : a b if dozen small manufacturin
plant . after we have actually landed the enterprises. A
capable supei intendent with efficient euipl' yoes can oper
ate a factory here ea successfully as anywhere in the
country.
During the last two or tine? weeks a small canning fac
tory has been in operatic n lu Milledgeville daily. This
enterprise, owned by Mr. E. E. Bass, can Ik* looked to as a
success, almost without que li n of doubt. It is too bad
that Oils pinnt is not six of eight times Its size, for it af
fcrd.s a market for fruit an, j eg fa les that can 1m so ox
tensive' grown here. Also, we should take into consider
ation tie fact that enterprises of this sort furnish employ
ment for nmn. women and children at a time when they
are most In n*ed of work end a means of bringing about
turnings.
One would be astonished tc go into small cities in the
north and east and learn f the manufacturing that is going
on three There can be found manufacturing plants in cities
the si/.o of Milledgeville that work from fifty to tow hun
dred men ibis a common sight -let alone the fact that in
many instances there are 'r.dustr'es rated up into t' e m'J-

Throegsut this country much commendation is being

act cf the adm nistration as it relat ’s to American affairs
—which we r.ro el! greatly c :i .ernad about—but it is extre
mely doubtful If he Ii:.,T dene anything that has brought
mere universal satisfaction than the appointing of Ex-Presi

T o S.iuth Join-, with the whole co n’ry in its endorse
ment cf appointment cf Chief Justice Taft. It is a marve
lous record for any nr n to make to become head of the Ex-

likewise a v nieifnl tliiurf to achieve the position of Chief
iin.lice u' the Supreme Court of t:o United States.
Until Mr. Chief Justice Taft attained this distinction no

THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
M. V Atwood, of the faculty of Cornell University, and a
former newspaper nun, wrote a readable magazine article
not long ag tn “The Country Newspaper,” in which li •
raid In part:
■‘ What is to be the future of the country weekly? This
louts wit'J tiie comnnirity and with the publisher. If the
cornin’ .r*ity recognizes the value and possibilities of the
countr., weekly an.l is willing to pay what it i.* worth, and
if tlio publisher realizes his responsibilities to his com
munity, then its future is bright. It will have an import-
jut part in building up a satisfying and wholesome rural
life.
"First of all, the country weekly of the future will be re
cognized as a community institution. This means it will
b’ prosperous. The community will realize that it i un
wise for the o. mmunlty to have a newspaper that is not
prosperoi s.
The country newspaper of tiie future will not lie sold cs a
newspaper, but os a community service, just as the teie
phcir* is service. No one thinks a telaphrne ren ,ii oi
from $12 to $ao a year is high, yet in the service it renders
e paper is quite cninparalde to the 'phone; and the tele-
phi lie receipts can’t be used to put on the pantry shelves
ihe way old newspapers can. A country newspaper is
worth more than the $1.50 to $2.00 usually charged.
Tiie publis er. of course, will he a lecognized comm nity
leader. He will have emancipated himself from the
tliralldom of detail. He will h/ve capable girls who can
do this sort of work better than kc can do it himself. He
will never find that he is unable to attend the meeting of
an important town committee of which he is chairman be-
c'ause Jo has to fix a balky linotype or a sulky press. It
goes without saying that he will have a neat, well organized
rind systematized front office.
“The people cf the community will know, also, that they
lave a part ill making it a good paper. As one country
editor puts it, the country weekly is not the prcduct of its
editor.’ It is the combined product of its friends, readers
and indvertlsers.’ No country publisher could ever afford to
hire en<i igh rop; i ters to cover his territory us intensively
as it should he covered And it is well that e cannot, it
is better for the community to feel its responsibilities with
tlie editor in making a representative newspaper."
“Mr Atwood's dream may never be fully realized, but he
is right when he says t' e country weekly is just what the
peoples t the community make it. If they take an interest
in it and give it good support, it will be a credit to them.
No editor or publisher no matter how hard working or
brilliant, can make a gold newspaper in a field which does
not support its local paper. If the local newspaper is dull
and uninteresting, it is because it gets that kind of sup
port.
