of the moving picture theatre in this

States. At AN average admission Of
cents. the receipts each day would
aggregate 100000. This means s292,
100000 annually. because most of the
theatre run 365 days a year. The
profit i'm the producing and distribut-
ing end of the business is shown by
the dividends paid. The Mutual Film
Corporation disburscs I per cent an

now paying ] per cent a month on the

New York Motion Picture Company
pays > per cent monthly on $1,000. 600
stock. which is all of one class, and
the Riograph Company pays per cent
on Si.:90.oo0 outstanding
shares. There are, OF course, numerous
other concerns which are close corpora
tons. and whose dividends are, there

walls of wrath and in language that

the men who had bought that property

Tallulah Falls was one of the great

than one would question Niagara, but
;hat did not lessen the right of men
TO buy ii when offered for sale

the development of power which would
prove of value to the State. These
men. however. were antagonized and
viliccd, and the people and the news
papers of Georgia to n very large ex-
tent sat by without any effort to pro-
test against n campaign of that kind.
If there were any legal or moral
grounds upon which to attack the pur-
chaSers of the property. tho matter
should have heen open for court de-
clS1on pure ana simple. and not for Will

GREAT DAMAGE THE

This is typical of what is sometimes
seen in attacks on other enterprises.
IT is altogether probable that 30 per
cent Of the substantial people of Geor-
Sia were heartily in favor OF the great
work that tho Georgia Railway and
Power Company proposed at TallulaiI

camraign which was calculated to Sc
riously retard the investment of money
in creative enterprises of that kind.

unaware of the fact that the best pec-
pic In the South are opposed to the
spirit of antaRonism which disgruntl.d
men, for their own individual profit
and against the welfare of the COM
murity, have at times sought to arouse
against enterprises of this kind and TO
cinbarrass them by improper and un-
justified attacks. II is time fo- thu,
