the week.
 Columbus. Ga., April 30.-(Special.) ) The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in its regu- lar weekly issue:
 "'The great diversity as we'll as magnitude of manufacturing plants that are being established in Georgia and Alabama Is illustrated in reports to The Index for the past seven days, showing the variety of resources In the two States that can be developed with profit. If any such demonstra- tion of progress as is being made week after week in the columns of The Index for Georgia and Alabama can be made for any other States in the Union, 1t is not being done, and 1t is to be doubted If there is equal de- velopment in any other section.
