A Representative of the Eastern
Mill Men
IN DALTON THURSDAY.
He TakM in the Town, and fa Fav-
orably Imnrcmied-Caiiing Back
A uni n in a Few Data.
A. W. Hunting, of the Massachusetts Mill Co ,
of Lowell, Macs., was Li Halton Thursday. Ho
camo to look into Dalton’s advantages as a loca
tion for their mills, an 1 his visit was the result
of the trip of Col. Tom Jones and Mr. Hobart C.
Babcock to the cast—certainly quick results.
Mr. Huuking fell iuto the hands of President
Drew Peeples, of the Business League, and he
whs given a strong, but fair and honest presen
ti'tiooof Dalton’s advantages and shown the
city. Mr. Hnnking has visited several other
plHces looking for 200 suitable acres fora site
for the mill, and he is still on a tour of
Georgia. Before he left, he said he and Presi
dent Levering, of the Massachusetts Mill Co.,
would visit Dalton again in about ten days, and
that he was very (avorably impressed with Dal
ton, especially as cotton milling was no exper
iment in Dalton, there already being a success
ful mill here.
Mr. H. C. Babcock entertaind Mr. flunking
Thursday evening, and invited a few people to
meet him. Col. Jones had him in charge Fri
day morning, and he left favorably impressed
with Dalton and her people.
This is favorable and means that Dalton
stands a chance of getting at least one of the
mills.
There will be a meeting of the Business League
ton'ght.
That Trip to the Ernst.
The Argus found President Babcock at his
desk next morning after his return from New
England points, where he was engaged with
Col. T. R. Tones all last week, interviewing the
Eastern Mill-owners who are considering the
proposition to es’ablish Cotton Factories in the
South. “We were accorded a most attentive
audience by the .nanagers of the corporations
we called on,” said Mr. Babcock in reply lo
questions. "The credentials which Col. Jones’
wide acquaintance in Washington and New
York brought to us as a committee together
with the courtesies which were extended 10 me
by the General Officers of the Southern Railway
Company, Introduced us favorably iuto the very
heart of ihe Mill interests represented at Boetou.
We were questioned most closely and pertin
ently regarding the legislative restrictions and
tax laws of our section and state and regardiug
cost of fuel, rates of freight, rail way privileges,
demurrages, traekagesaad sidings, and particu
larly as to possibility to secure employes suf
ficient in number and of such skilled traiuiug
as would meet the requirements of large cor
porations. Col. Jones telling answers on all
these points-basing his opinions on bis actual
experience in eoLU>u-*u*Uipg, were wriLeu down
b. our audttbis and seenl*>d to strike home.
The Dalton Commercial league could not have
done better than send Col. Jones on.tbis errand,
as hia personal addren and »ct"«rknowledge of
tiie mill business commanded "most favorab'c
attention. This was repeatedly evinced by state
ments from the Treasurers who frankly ad mkied
that they could not compete with southern mil’s
in the coarser fabrics. Our coal costs $4.50 per
ton’said they, ‘while you get it iu Dal.on, for
#1.15 to #1.511 tier ton. We cannot B,jui<l that.’
“It is clearlVeertaiu that thejbusiness is coming
south and we were promised a personal inspec
tion of Dalton’s advantages by representative to
be sent here before site was fixed upon,” -aid
Mr. Babcock. ‘We have as much to offer as any
point in the Piedmont region and investigation
will come to us. Tiie adverse legislatiou iu
.Massachusetts has crippled and harrassed the
mill corporations east. This was aconstant com
plaint oi those we met. Very special inquiries
were made as to the temper of the law-makers
in Georgia toward corporations. Protection or
immunity from strikes and to foster
true industrial development is what is sought
by the east iu immigrating lo the south, and
everybody knows that the legislature of Massa
chusetts is made up in a large majority of polit
ical factions—professional politicians—not in
sympathy with business affairs, but workingpol
tics for a livelihood. Very few large industrial
institutions are represented in the New Engl.- nd
legislatures. Successful business men look down
upon tiie trade of politics. They have no time
a.id no desire lo get into the campaign "mud”
of the road leading to the State house. And
nresideins of cotton mills and other important
industries are not found many number making
laws in tiie east. When tnese best trained bus
iness managers want liberal treatment they can
not get an intelligeni practical hearing from
mere politicians. ’Tis of this they complain.—
Now, we took especial pains to call attention to a
very much better state of affairs existing in
Georgia. The business men of our section are iu
charge of state allairs. This was necessary as a
result of new methods and anew south which
lias followed since the war. Making laws in
Georgia is not so much a ‘trade’or profession,
as with the politicians of the norlh. In order to
have the necessary laws to establish wholly new
business enterprises in a section hitherto with
out manufacturing interests, it was necessary to
send to tiie legisla .tire business men to enact the
special laws for this purpose. And the same wns
done. We find our best and most successful
manu'acturers, many of them, in the legislature,
and they are in full sympathy with the highest
interests of business in .he south. They have
personal contact and personal knowledge of
what is wise for he industrial development of
the south, and the result has been, as.everybody
Knows, that there are no adverse restrictions
against corporations doing business in the state
nor are there likely to be. lam sure that such
facts as are heremeagerly outlined were listened
to by those we met with hungry attention. I was
earnestly questioned as to the treatment of
northern persons by the people of Georgia, and
nothing gave me so much pleasure as the ability
to correct all the misapprehensions of my eastern
friends on this score. Au experience of sixteen
years in Dalton, made me more than ardent in
my desire to assure the man f-om Boston that he
would love us and be loved by us, the moment
we were living side by side iu Georgia.”
