SUCH A COURSE is PURE HOG.
GISHNESS.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun re-
produced the editorial article from
the Recorder, based on the
charge of the Savannah Press that
the cotton mill men of Columbus in
tended to oppose the granting of a
duty in favor of the growers of long
island cotton. The Enquirer-Sun
does not endorse, neither does il
condemn, such course on the part
of manufacturers of cotton goods. 1t
contents itself with the following
statement:
Only one cotton mill in Columbus
uses long staple, and that is the Bib
mill All the cotton used by this
mill, which spins very high numbers,
is either sea island or Egyptian.
None of the other factories here
would be affected by the placing or
removing of a duty on long staple
cotton.
Inquiry was made yesterday if any
concerted effort was being made by
the textile manufacturers of Column
bus as stated by the Savannah paper.
It was stated that there was no such
concert of action. A prominent man
ufacturer who was interviewed said
that it was possible that the Bibb
mill in Columbus, in conjunction with
the Bibb mill in Macon, would fight
the imposition of such duty on long
staple cotton, although that was
purely a matter of surmise with him.,
as he knew personally nothing about
it,
To our mind efforts on the part of
the highly protected cotton goods
manufacturers of the South and other
sections to prevent the growers of
long staple cotton from securing the
benefits alleged to lie in duty on
Egyptian or other foreign competi-
tive cotton is hoggishness of the most
type The cotton goods

Americas, Ca. Dec. 18th. 1905.
TO INCREASE OUR POPULATION

The census 10 be taken in 1910
viii show that Americas has had a
growth of fifty per cent in ten
years. that. in round figures, its pop
ulation has Increased from 5000 in
1900 to 1900 in 1919 If the same
rate Of growth continues this would
give US $1,000 people ten years
hence.
This rate Of growth, however. is not
apt to continue unless means of en-
pioyment are found here for men
with families. There is not a sufl-
cient expansion of agriculture in this
vicinity 10 justify the hope that it
Will be adequate to support six thou
sand more people in trade in Ameri-
Gus. In fact We all know that it
viii not do so. If we are to continue
To grow al the same rate We have
grown during the present decade
there must be avenues of employment
opened mp here that are not now in
existence
That IS the question of most vital
importance to Americas, the question
of industries where the boys now
growing up can find employment, and
where incoming strangers can also
secure the means Of a livelihood and
cast in their lot with US in building
up the city. Unless we secure such
establishments there is no reason
to believe the city will enjoy anything
but a small growth or stand still
in population while improving its
appearance.
Now we know there is no citizen
of Americas who wishes the town
10 become stationary. All long for its
continued development in population
in wealth, in beauty. And there is
no reason why such natural aspira-
tions should not be gratified. There
is no reason why Americas should not
grow fully as rapidly as any other
city in Georgia. All that is needed
is for our people to pull together, tt
work with determination to secure
industries, to help men to locate here
in manufacturing lines If that policy
is adhered to fruit must come
All that is needed is to secure the
first one or two industries. Take the
proposed factory for the manufacture
Of gas and electric fixtures, for in
stance. We understand that wha
= -r-oa = a It, ,,,1 ,,,.oo+;oo1 Nv
emption from taxes for term o
five years. Americas certainly coulC
offer that. That especial industry
calls for highly skilled and well pai(
labor. It would mean a desirable
class of citizens. Such an opportun
ity should not be allowed to pass
If this industry could be located here
it is inevitable that another industry
would soon follow it. Nothing sue
ceeds like success, and the old adage
applies to the location of industries
in a city as much as to any Other
sphere of activity. Get one factory
or mill and another will surely fol
low it.
We must be awake and doing. THAI
is all there is to it. We have as
many mercantile businesses now as
the city and county can carry. We
need pay rolls, We need money
turned loose every week or twice {
month. Then we will have the very
best city in all Georgia.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and it's component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.
