The South S Textile En,b;re

T0 HE progress of the South's textile in
dustry during 1920 is strikingly evil
denced in the fact that in eight
States of this region there was an aggregate
addition of seven hundred and eleven thou
and nineteen thousand and seventy-six
looms. The larger part of this increase came
in the first quarter of the year, amounting,
as one observer points out, to considerably
more than half the total number Of spin
dies added to Southern mills in the entire
twelvemonth preceding. This record appears
the more remarkable when it Is noted that
1919 was itself exceedingly active in the en-
tire country's cotton textile interests
The furthest visioned students predicted
long ago that eventually the South would be
the American center of this growing
industry. But there were many who then
doubted that her dearth of skilled labor and
of capital as we'll could be overcome before
other sections had gained supremacy once
for lla Indeed, Southern investors them
selves, except in those of keenest foresight,
were long dubious, and hung back from OPP
portunities most fertile and inviting. Geor-
gia and the Carolinas and~~their neighbor
States we'll might attain considerable I'M
portance in textiles, it was granted; but

lockers.
Well, industrial history has taken turns
stranger than that-strange, that is to say,
until their factors and processes could be
seen and studied in retrospect. OF the ele-
ments essential to the upbuilding of cot
ton textile industry, the South possesses all
some of them in abundant if not lncom-
parable measure She has hte raw material
in her own fields, and what amounts to
natural monopoly on its production in this
country. She has suitable labor not as plen-
tifully as could be wished but nevertheless
in goodly ranks. Capital she still needs to
the extent of billions, but she is attracting
it in steadily increasing volume and Is prov
ing how we'll she merits it. Another factor,
and one aforetime but dimly dreamed of
in it's vast potentially, 81 her wealth of
water power resources, now in the infancy
of their development.
Today, therefore, the world speaks of
the South's textile power not in terms of
the future alone, but in the present as
well-though the future still holds fresh
empires. Notwithstanding recent depres-
sions, which were obviously of transient
nature, the year 1921 has opened with good
signs for this great industry, and, as most
dependable observers expect, will steadily
brighten.

The Horticulture Meeting


State Horticultural Society to be held
at Athens, February the first, should
have an uncommonly large attendance OF
fruit growers and farmers. AS DR.. T. H. Nc
Hatton, secretary Of the organization points
out in his letter to its members, conditions
at this juncture are such that "every ef-
fort must be made to assure the production
and handling of a good salable crop g.
and a meeting at which the growers will
be in position freely to discuss their prob
lens will be of inestimable value to the in
dustry''
In the last decade or so Georgia's horti-
cultural interests have advanced from min
or to major Importance among the States
prosperity breeders. Peach growing has as
sumed immense proportions and, thanks to
efficient methods Of marketing, has come to
be far less precarous and far more profit
able than it's pioneers dreamed possible.
Apple growing also developed to the extent
of commanding national interest for tine
States mountain orchards; while in the
central and southern counties pecan groves
represent millions of investment which are
assured Of ever increasing returns. These
and allied enterprises bulk large in Geor-
gia industry today, and if duly supported
will wax continually more important.

WV USER though it doubtless were to
w let the world rest in calm unaware
ness of those buried treasure ghosts
which ever and anon come clustering BACK
to life, we cannot forbear passing on, for
whatever it may be worth, the latest It'd
ings on this romantic theme.
From the Paris weekly, OPINION, comes
the reminder that for centuries the Indians
Of Colombia tossed immense treasures into
the sacred lake of Guatavita. "as a religious
rite" and that Professor Farabee, an Amer
lean "disclosed that pure gold to the value
of six or eight hundred million dollars mad
been thrown into many other lakes in Cen
trail or South America" More interesting
still are the details Of this shining narrative;
for instance: "The massive gold chain, Dig
as a ships anchor-chain,' that surrounded
the palace of the Incas at Cuzco was thrown
into a lake. 1t was so heavy that it took
two hundred men to carry it when it was
decided, in 1882, to transfer it from Cuzco
to Catamarca as a gift to Pizzaro, In the
course of the trip the Indian porters, learn
ing that their king had been strangled, threw
the chain into a lake. A syndicate OF Eng
lishmen has been formed to recover these
treasures. It's first attempts were far from
encouraging, but the English are tenacious,
and their toll has been rewarded: in the
lake of Guatavita alone they have already
recovered more than five million dollars
worth of gold and emeralds."
from the human minds horizon? 1t is as
strong today as when young Crusoe sail
ed, or the money-diggers of New Amster-
dam stole forth on stormy midnights to seek
the stored ingots of Captain Kidd. Real
treasures are acquired, for the most part
by such homely virtues as thrift, patient
Industry and practical imagination. But tor
ever springs the faith that fortune brings
in some boats which are not steered,' and
that mayhap we shall light upon gold which
the fairies or, at least, the pirates have let
fall It is this haunting hope that makes
many hundrum and impoverished life
supportable, this old, old dream of
"Schooners, islands and marcons,
And buccaneers and buried gold"
The realists keep telling us that an acre
of solid ground in ones home county is
better than principally in Utopia; and, OF
! course. they are right-logicalIy right, that
is to say But what is logic to the red urge
of life? And who that truly lives does not
| sail, in heart at least, on the good sh1I
Adventure, bound for, he knows not what

Australian Eggs

The first shipment of eggs received in
Chicago from Australia, where the hens
operate under opposite weather conditions
than those obtaining now in northern
United States, was placed on sale last
week.
Members of q local butter and egg firm
said they found they could sell the eggs
slightly cheaper than local receipts and a
test had shown only six spoiled eggs in
$50 dozens, and not one was broken by
the long journey. One of the firm, R. L.
Elston, said he would endeavor to secure
other shipments of the Australian eggs
until the hens in this section get back on
the job.
