Moderate Decline
In Ga. Employment
Non-agricultural employment
in Georgia for March, estimated
at 726,000, continued downward
with a loss of 1,200 people since
February. This loss was prin
cipally due to further layoffs
in textile mills and less busi
ness in the lumber industry.
Total employment was 14,000
below March 1948. A loss from
last year of 17,000 workers in
manufacturing employment has
been offset by substantial gains
in trade and government. *The
textile industry showed almost
ten per cent loss from the cor
responding month in 1948.
Employment in non-durable
\ goods manufacturing which had
steadily declined since last Au
gust levelled off in March with
seasonal gains in food, apparel,
and fertilizer manufacturing
offsetting a loss of 1,600 workers
in the textile industry where
temporary and partial shut
downs occured in some plants
and the number of shifts was
reduced. Textile employment
which has dropped each month
since last August is now at the
lowest level in the past three
years. .
Durable goods manufacturing
I employed 2,200 fewer workers
iin March than in February.
I continuing a downward trend
। which began in December. The
; heaviest loss, 1,600 workers, was
i reflected in the lumber indus
j try—principally logging camps,
i sawmills and planing mills.
Contrary to the normal season
al trend, fewer orders caused
the lumber industry to decline
to the lowest level in the last
twelve months.
Construction employment was
; practically unchanged from
February. Highway and heavy
construction showed substan
tial gains which were offset by
losses in residential building
and the special trades group.
The transportation, communi
cation, and public utilities di
vision showed a gain of 300
workers in March with an in
crease in trucking and ware
housing more than offsetting
losses in the raihoad and steve
doring groups.
Employment in the trade di
vision showed an increase of
600 workers after a seasonal de
cline for the two previous mon
ths. The general level of em
ployment for this division was
5,700 higher than for the cor
responding month last year.
Finance, Insurance, and real
estate which wa s unchanged
from February to March showed
a five per cent gain over last
year. Increases in the insur
ance and real estate groups ac
counted for the principal part
of this annual gain.
Government employment
showed a very small increase in
March over the previous month.
This division also operated at a
level five per cent greater than
last year.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
Cedar Bluff Cabin
Where Yank Colonel
Wept Destroyed
The old log cabin once famed
because “a Yankee colonel wept
here” is no more.
The colonel wept just 86 years
ago May 3, because his army
went back to sleep right in the
midst of a battle.
It was a battle the likes of
which probably has never been
duplicated. Few history books
tell of it.
In any case, the old John Law
rence cabin where Col. Able D.
Streight surrendered to the wiz
ard of the saddle, Confederate
Gen. Nathan Redford Forrest,
has been tom down.
The last of the old timbers
was carted off just recently for
use in modern construction.
That battle developed because
: lod “git-thar-fustest-with- the -
mostest” Forrest was doing nei-
I ther.
Col. Streight was operating
; deep in Alabama to prevent re
inforcements from reaching the
embattled southerners around
C h at t a n o o g a. He was under
orders to burn bridges and his
chief objective was at Rome,
over which supplies flowed from
Atlanta.
The colonel planned a long
sweep through Alabama to take
Rome from the flank. Gen. For
rest was out to stop him.
Both forces raced through
Alabama with the Yankees in
the lead. On May 2, 1863. the
colonel, two miles from Gads
den burned the bridge over
Black Creek.
Since the stream was swollen,
Gen. Forrest asked a former
Georgia, Emma Sansom, to di
rect him to a ford: She mounted
behind the general and led him
to a cattle crossing.
As the Yankees let fly with
lead at the pair, bullets pierced
। her skirts. Emma, who died in
Texas in 1900, waved her bon
net defiantly and the Yankees
gentlemen to the core, stopped
firing in admiration.
That night the Union forces
encamped atop Johnston Hill, 20
miles from Rome. They were ex
hausted and worn by long
marching and continuous har
assment.
Gen Forrest surveyed the sit
uation and called upon Streight
to surrender. Streight said no.
Partly shielded by woods, For
rest marched his men around
and around the hill until
Streight was convinced he was
surrounded.
The colonel sounded the alarm.
His troops tumbled out and were
ordered to fire. Just a few shots
rang out. Most of the men had
gone back to sleep.
Col. Streight then arranged to
surrender. His forces stacked
arms in the dark and the Con
federates took the hill.
The next morning during the
formal surrender ceremonies on
the, porch of the Lawrence cabin
Col. Streight got a good look at
the size of the Confederate
forces.
That was when the colonel
' wept.

37,000 Georgians File
For Job Insurance
The 37,000 persons in Georgia
\ who are currently filing appli
| cation for job insurance pay
ments represent 25,000 workers
with unemployment insurance
and 12,000 veterans claiming
under the G. I. Bill, Ben T.
Huiet, Commissioner of Labor
announced today.
Non-agricultural employment
in the State had increased since
the war to an all time peak (ap
proximately 753,500) during the
j fall of last year in response to
; pent-up consumer demand for
; a wide variety of goods and
! services. Indications of read
jjustment and a leveling off in
employment became noticable
in November. Initial claims for
job insurance increased from an
; average of 1,500 per week in
October to 3,000 during the firs’:
week in December. Temporary
i holiday employment obscured
'the overall trend through the
rest of the month, then 4,500
'job separations were recorded
during the first week in Jan
uary. The number of newly un
employed who registered for
j work and filed applications for
insurance declined to an aver
age of about 3,500 per week dur
|ing February and March have
averaged over 4,000 during the
past three weeks. The average
of 16,500 persons in insured un
employment payment status
during the first quarter of 1949
amounted to a little more than
twice the average number dur-

ing the first quarter of last I
year, Mr. Huiet stated.
The policy of many firms of j
shortening the work week when |
possible, rather than laying off
workers, was reflected in the t
fact that 5% of payments in the ■
first quarter of 1949 were for j
partial rather than total unem- ■
ployment, compared with 2% ■
last year.
Deflationary influences were ’
first reflected in employment at'
textile mills and finished tex
tile products plants and have
spread to other industries. The
new entrants into unemploy
ment payment status in the!
first three months of 1949 in- j
creased in every industry di
vision over the first quarter of
last year. However, total covered
employment is still above the
wartime peak of approximately
505,000 and is nearly 50% above
