SPENDING MILLIONS.
Work Of the Railroads in Bringing in
New Industries.

In an article on the progress and
prosperity Of the South, the New York
Sun says that $4,000 900 have been
invested in new industrial enterprises
in the Southern States in the last three
years Probably the greater part of
this can be traced either directly or
indirectly to the work of the land and
industrial departments of the rail-
roads" says the Sun
Every important road now has its
industrial and immigration department
with agents who are constantly on the
lookout for new industries. Each road
tries to get all the new mills, factories,
colonies, farmers and truck growers it
can. The agents hunt for the best To-
cations, and do all they can to settle
new people along their lines. The At
lantic Coast Line and the Sesboard Air
Line started tobacco growing in the
Carolinas. The old Florida and Wes-
tern promoted watermelon raising in
South Georgia. The Central of Geor-
gia encouraged peach growing in the
hlluulC phIG VI Clle sSdL6. Inc southern
has paid special attention to the build
ing of new cotton mills in the South
just as the L. & n, has encouraged the
opening Of coal and iron mines and the
building of furnaces.
A railroad will spend thousands OF
dollars on side tracks aud extensions to
get new industry located.
In Atlanta the Southern is now spend
ing $4,000 to put in new side tracks to
steel mill. A week or 80 ago this
same company agreed to spend $3.50, 00O
on an extension to reach some mineral
property which the owners want to
develop. Other roads are doing the
same thing every week. Of course the
roads expect to get benefit from the
new industries, but it takes millions OF
money, which they are willing to spend
to develop and build up the country.
ALI the roads want active, intelligent
young men in their industrial depart.

the supply.

should lose 1920 to let dealer make
SO cents? A dealer makes so cents more
on fourteen gallons of ready-for-use
paint. at 81 so per gallon, than our agent
does on eight gallons of L. & NJ. paint
and six gallons of linseed oil, which
make fourteen gallons of the best paint
in the world, at $1.20 per gallon; the
property owner loses Just $4,20. Is it

MARIETTA, GA, SEPT. 7, 1905.
WHY is TT

Editor Journsl-In your last issue
you speak of the fact that so few of the
men employed in the factories and
mills attend church regularly. am
inclined TO think that larger number
OF these attend than you seem to be-
lieve, bat granting that the situation
is as pad as supposed, the question
arises, Why is it? Surely it cannot be
because they have become unbelievers
in the Christian religion On the
contrary every minister in Marietta
will testify that there are times and
occasions when no class is more anxious
to have the ministrations of the minis
ter. In sickness and death they call
for US
There can be no question of the fact
that this class has been largely alien
ated from the churches. Why? Has
it been because the churches have
failed TO sympathize with them in their
hard life Of struggle for bread? This
charge is made in many quarters. In
the large cities many of the churches
have drifted away from the masses,
OF this there is no doubt. Still, even
among the richest and most aristocratic
congregations, we find sincere SYM
pathy and effort for the very classes
who misunderstood and deride the
churches. 1t is freely recognized that
in many of these churches the poorer
classes do not-cannot-feel at home
But, there is no city in which there are
not adequate provision for them. LeaV.
ing the situation as it exists in the
cities, what of Marietta?
/ believe l can speak for all the
churches in this good town when | say
that they freely welcome to their fell
lowshiD and worship the very humblest
of men Not one of them would refuse
to do so. Not one of them is there that
does not earnestly desire their saliva
ton and welfare Men in humble cir
cumstances greatly misunderstood both
churches and ministers in this matter
If they would but put themselves in
honest touch with us they would find
that we love them and stand ready to
help them in every proper way to lead
the better life. The great mass OF
Christian people have always been from
the poorer and humber walks of life
From that class nearly all ministers
spring As rule they we're poor boys
and had 10 struggle for their education
and rise in life. And any man who
comes in close touch with them will
tiud thai their hearts beat in sincerest
sympathy for all classes of society.
Having said this much l wish to ado
that in my own congregation are found
many of the men to whom you refer
and am sure they feel no sense of lacl
of appreciation. From that very class
are some of our officers and prominent
members, and we would assure all sucl
men that with us they can find relig
ious home in which we recognize thu
equality of the children of the house
hold Of faith. Come and see.
