GREATEST SCREAMING CITY IN THE SOUTH
Columbus, Ga-, AStains This Distinction With the Buflding of New Hos- iery Mfl1s and Enlarging
 Of old Plants.

Columbus. Ga, Oct. 5.--(special.) )--- One of the interesting results of the development of the water power of the Chattahoochee river. which develop mont has begun on such a large scale, has been to make Georgia city the largest producer of hoisery in the Southern States. Columbus now has three large hosiery mills. all of them operated by electricity generated at a waterfall mile from the city, and as , soon as certain additional machinery that has been receievd Is installed their combined daily capacity will be from 5,20o to $500 dozen pairs per day, Just q few years ago. when only one knitting mill was located at this point, the total production was 500 dozen pairs per day.
 Two of the plants here are new. hav- ing been erected only year or tive ago. and the older plant has recently practically doubled its capacity. One of the mills is now adding extensively to its equipment and another has bought adjoining ground on which to erect second factory year or two later. tM x
 The Columbus made sock Is now shipped to all parts of the country, and an interesting Feature is that the mills here enjoy particularly hne trade in the territory west of the Mis- sissippi river.
 The new knitting mills were among the first industries established when the Columbus Power Company entered upon it's power-developing program.
