PROSPERITY OF THE SOUTH.

/ The recent action Of the Co.
lumbus Progressive Union in
taking hold of the defunct Co
lumbus Chair Factory and organ
izing a company to operate the
| plant cannot be too highly COM
men3ed. Manufacturing is in its
infancy, not only in Columbus,
but throughout the whole South
and it is poor policy to allow
any industry once started, to
become idle. The south is des-
tined, before many years, to be-
come the center Of the cotton
and iron manufacturing industry
of the nation. Possessing the
advantages OF abundant raw
material, cheap fuel and labor
and easy transportation facilities
by both rail and water, what
more is needed? Capital and
energy. But above all her citi-
zens should follow the example of
the Progressive Union and stand
by existing Industries. Last year
was a hard year in this section,
a short cotton crop made times
a little hard and money closer
than usual, but there is no neces-
sity for feeling discouraged at
the outlook for the future. When |
a mans cotton crop fails he goes
to his supply company ard ex-
plains his circumstances, the |
merchant advances him supplies
and waits for his pay until he
raises and markets another crop. |
In like manner should citizens of
the south d2al with the manu-
featuring concern that may be-
come embarrassed. The factories
pay out large sums for raw
material, fuel and labor, which |
money quickly finds its way into
the pockets Of the business men !
Of the cities and towns in pay
ment for rent, dry goods, gro
ceries, meats etc. The merchant
IN turn pays it out in various
ways and thus an endless chain
is maintained which keeps the
money in circulation.
But taking the matter locally
where would Columbus be With
out her factories? Would the
outside world know there was
such a town on the map? Would /
the city have twelve or fifteen t
thousand population and increas-
ing by. leaps and bounds? Would |
real estate be increasing in value
every day and rental property /
be in such demand, if Columbus
had no manufacturing interest?
When. therefore, all the bene-
fits derived from having large
and varied manufacturing inter-
ests are taken into consideration |
every loyal citizen of the town
lend his aid to maintaining
existing industries and in helping
to locate new plants here. Stu
ated as she Is IN the heart of a
great cotton raising region and
just on the edge of the great iron
and coal fields of Western Ala
bama, Columbus location as re-
g ards raw material and fuel Is
ideal. Two direct lines of rail-
road and prospect of others be-
fore long into the coal region

Proper attention to the health
of children is an excellent civic
investment. A great part Of the
diseases which develop IS chron-
lie in after life could be obviated
by closer medical supervision Of
children's health. Especially de
fects in hearing, eyesight or
teeth can be checked IN early
life, while in later years they
become too confirmed TO yield to
treatment. It is as necessary for
a child to have sound senses and
good bodily health az mental de
velopment. IN the majority of
the occupants at which the pres
ent school children of New York
will in future years earn their
livlihood sound health and a good
physique will be of more value
than educated frills.
The foregoing from the New
York World IS very true and
viii be held responsi-
BILE at the judgment bar for not
providing for the comfort and
welfare Of the school children
who are being neglected every
day in Columbus.
