WHY MOTT

It really seems to us that a manufac.
tnriug company could be organized in
Washington county, with a large capital,
fa few influential and moneyed men
would interest themselves in the under
4lling. Judicious investments in manu-
factories cannot fail to DO remun craft, o
\ a larger per cent than money loaned or
locked up in the safest aud most vaIua.
BIZ securities can ever command. The
chisf wealth Of the country to>6ay con-
sists not in banks, bank stocks, railroads,
Government securities, aud landed es,
bates, but 10 her raw mate rial and facto>
pies, though these latter are confncd 70
but few localities, comparatively speaking.
1hc anne may be said, even with more
pccGracy il possible, of the opulcnt and
fOlid nations Of the old world. You find
every manufacturing community, rich,
aCcumulativc and substantial. No argu-
fnent is required to prove this fact, for
Pho fact is proof Of itself. Now. can
fhere be any good reason assigned why a
company could not be organized on a
5paid-in cash capital Of Twenty-Five
Thousand dollars to build a large 40 ur>
Ping mill, wooden factory and iron foundry
.in Jonesbaro'. The money invested in
'thcsa enterprises, would be returned with
Interest in a few years. Besides increas-
Pug our population and stimulating other
Industries, thousands Of dollars would
be added to our trade. The benefit wo uld
|nOt entirely accrue to the town, but like
|thc wavcl,ts Of the pool, would seek the
|farthest borders Of the county.
We hope that this important matter
will receive the consideration hat its i'm,
portancc demands and efforts will be
made to secure the objects indicated
knowing that u town will never pros.
per, but drag along in the same old ruts
in which it has been going for forty years
without something Of the kind is done.
