sity and carry that prejudice before
the people In 4 way calculated to do
much harm. West Virginia cannot af
ford to injure the work or throw OBJ
s'acles in the way OF any of its ens

issued from the Department of Free
Schools shows that West virginia
ranks only 3ith in number and efflcien

other Suites of the Union. 1t ranks
second in the production OF coal and
mas high rating on coke ana oil and
other material developments. Can We

much attention must lie given to the
higher institutions of learning. The
educational process works from above
downward. 1t is maxim among edu
Gators that as the teacher is, so is
the school. In like manner it may be
said that as the higher institutions OF
learning are, so are the teachers. How
important. then, that our higher in
stitntions be all that we can possibly
make them. The University Is the

COLUMBUS. Ca, Feb. GA mu.
nicipal freight auditor Is the latest
creation of this city in It's efforts to
attract foreign capital and labor. The
auditor. formerly successful railroad
man, deyotes his time to improving
railroad conditions in Columbus. He
has already secured material reduc
tions in freight rates on shipments
from here. ana the beneficial results
of his activity become more and more
apparent. Owning to the fact that
this is one of the largest cotton manu-,
featuring centers IN the South the
freight auditors work is OF unusual
importance.
The Board of Trade has been espe-
cially organized to make known, in a
businesslike way. the attractions OF
Columbus and the surrounding coun.
try both to investors and to labor. Fig.
ures showing the growth Of the city
along industrial lines in the last Ave
years have done much to aid this
work.
] An important department, unique in
] the board of trade work OF Southern
municipalities. is that established to
answer the many inquiries about Co
lumbus real estate. particularly
ground available for factory sites. BY
cooperating with real estate agents
of the city the Board of Trade can
supply immediate and accurate an
swers.
In every part of the South the de
cfded industrial awakening, which has
come with the general prosperity of
the country. IS evident. New factor.

convert them into towns. Largely as
result OF the construction OF new
railroads and inter.urban trolley lines
the population Of both Alabama and
Georgia in this section is rapidly In.
creasing. The efforts put forth by Inn
migration associations have brought
many settlers to Georgia.
