INDUSTRIES MOVING SOUTHWARD
"Industrie? aro moving south
ward. Manufacturers aro 'sold' (
ouDixie as they have never been be
fore. Ttiis is true not only iu the:
case of cotton mill owners, but of
manufacturings of other importaut
products. Apparently there is the
dawn of n new era in industrial
development over tho Southland." (
The foregoing statement was
made by Frank Hemp
stead, business expert of Atlauta
and Washington who has recently
returned from a trip which carricd |
him to many business centers of
tho country:
"The manufacturers have at last
leirnod that the South, in a num
ber of industries at last, offers'
moro favorable conditions than
does the eastern section of the
nation. Climate, labor conditions
and a growing patronage from a
highly prosperous section are some
of the reasons that, are advanced
from this unusual industrial de
velopment."
So stated Mr. Hempstead, who
is constantly in close contact with
business men and manufacturers
in many parts of the nation.
"A number of cities and towns
ia (ieorgia and throughout the
South have secured new industries
during tho last few months,'' said
Mr. Hempstead. "There is no
reason why other enterprising
to wns cannot got desirable factories
All that is needed is organization1
and concerted action on the pari
of the citizens. Plans which are
now under way for advertising the
state's resources will go along way
toward bringing new capital and
now people to this section."?Ex.'
ISN'T IT FUNNY?
The man who thinks he is a busi
ness man will get up from an
advertised mattress, out of his ad |
vertised bed, shaves with an ad
vertised razor, puts on advertised
hose, shirt, colar, and shoes, sits
at an advertised table, eats adver
tised breakfast food, drinks ad-1
vertised coflee, or substitute,read s
all news and advertising in an ad
vertised paper, puts on an adver
tised hat and coat, lights an adver
tised cigar, tjef.s in an advertised
car and goes to his business place,1
and turns down advertising on the
gronnPs that advertising Does
Not I'ay.?Ex. ,
FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS
What cm wo do with the chil
dren during the summer months?
This may be a serious problem in
the cities, but there is not much
danger that children in the coun-'
try will get into inischiof on ac
count of idleness. There is plenty
of work to do there and it need
not be hard work. Near to nature
it is health promoting, bodybuild
ing work.
The country schools are closing
now and the wise teacher has al
ready given to each one of her
pupils ionic easy mental task for
the vacation. They are not dumb
driven cattle. If John keeps his
brain busy while helpiug his
father in the cornfield, and if
Mary is alert, asking why this and
that is done whilo helping her
mother with the canniug or feed
ing the p >ii 1 try, both the children
will have interesting storle? to tell
the teacher when school begins in
the fall.

L. A. DOWNS PREDICTS GREAT
DEVELOPMENT IN GEORGIA
AND ALABAMA
Great progress in development
in Georgia and Alabama during
the next few years is predicted by
L. A. Downs, President of the
Central of Georgia Railway, who
bases hi? forecast upon the accom
plishments of the recent past. In
an interesting and optimistic
statement, the railway executive
points out that there has been both
expansion and diversification of
agriculture and industry.
During the period from 1900 to
1933 the capital invested in manu
factures in Alabama and Georgia
increased 650 per cent and the
value of produets increased 688
percent. Illustrating the south
ward trend of the textile the num
ber of active spindles >? the two
states has increased from one aad
a quarter million to four million.
The value of textile products has
increased from 26 million dollars
to more than ten times that
arneunt or 288 million dollars.
The tohaoco crop of the two
states which sold in 1900 for two
hundred thousand dollars was
marketed last year for 9 million
dollars. The value of live stock
on farms increased from 68 mil
lion dollars to 267 million dollars.
Indicative of improved methods of
agriculture is the investment of
the farmers of the two states in
farm machinery which has only
18 million dollars in 1900 and
which had grown to 98 million
dollars in 1923. Individual bank
deposits which aggregated 48 mil
lion dollars in 1900 had grown to
508 million dollars in 1923.
The President of the Central of
Georgia says that adequate and
depe n d a b 1 e transportation is
something without which no sec
tion can progress rnd upon which
prosperity directly depends. He
says that his railroad is continaal
ly improving all of its facilities so
that equipment, motive power,
t rack, shops and every part of its
transportation plant may bo ready
in ad vance for the continually in
creasing volume of traffic. He de
clared that there is evidence of a
sound public policy toward trans
portation and offers assurance that
the railroads of this section will
not be restricted by adverse senti
ment in measuring up to their ob
ligations for the development of
their territory. ,
