DIXIE IN AST A
From the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
 It will probably surprise ms..y to learn nat the south is no longer the only 'Dixie and, the land of cotton" but that China has Dixie land of her own and is paying more attention to developing cotton industry. The editor of Hearst's magazine for October says:
 "Just how great is the Chinese cotton-spin- ming business? How much truth is there in these stories of travellers that John Chinaman has begun to spin the cloth for his own cotton clothing, and that soon he will cease to ask the United States cotton spinners for something to wear?
 "This department asked Sao-Ke Alfred Szc, Chinese minister to the United States, to an- swer these questions, and he gives this first hand information:
 Reports about the growth of the cotton in- dustry are substantially correct. The produc- tion of cotton yarns in China last year was about 4,102, ,000 bales-a growth of over one and half million spndles in China-an in- crease of 90 per cent over 1919. Much machin- cry for cotton mills, ordered principally in the United States, is still to be delivered.
 .The consumption of cotton yarns in China before the war was little under 3,000,0Oo bales. This figure will probably be doubled this year. In spite of such growth, however, China, because of her immense population, will have to depend the United States for great many years for much of her cotton, yarns, and piece goods.
 "The Shanghai Commercial and Savings bank, which is bank operated entirely by Chinese students who were trained in America, makes frequent reports, in American style, on the condition of the cotton crop and the cotton market. A new bank, the Cotton Trust Bank of Shanghai, with capital of $5,000,00 has been organized with the object of developing Chinas cotton industry"

Legion Answers Harvey
From The New York World.


 Ambassador Harvey summed up his version of why the United States entered the war when he told the people of England that I've were afraid not to fight" That is the real truth of the matter; and so we came along toward the end and helped you and your allies shorten the war. That is all we did and all we claim to have done"
 After scrapping one red-hot resolution in re- ply to Mr. Harvey and making determined ef- fort to moderate its language in order to pre- serve an appearance of courtesy toward an inl- portant official, the convention of the Amer ican Legion states it's contrary version, as fol- lows;
 That the sentiment expressed by George Harvey, United States ambassador to Great Britain, in his Pilgrim Day speech setting ' forth the reasons for Americas entry into the World war and the cause for which America fought, do\ not represent the true American attitude as interpreted by the American Legion; and let it be known for all time that America fought not only for the maintenance of Americas rights, but for the freedom of the world, and that a copy of this resolution be sent tc the President of the United States.
 These are only the words of the American Legion, and the legion is composed, to be sure, of men who walked in ranks rather than men who sat in at important councils. It may be that several gentlemen and officers of Colonel Harvey's opinion gathered somewhere in an of flee and decided among themselves early in 1917 that the war was fought not to save de- mocracy, but to save our own skins. If so, tho decision never published and nobody boast ed about it at the time The country and the boys who went to France were under the im- pression that the war was a war to save de- mocracy and war to end wars. It did save the democracy of France; it did overthrow the Hohenzollerns. What influence it may have on ending wars is yet to be seen.
 There would have been little enthusiasm in 1917 for war which the country fought be- cause it was afraid not to fight. Was that, after all, why the young men volunteered or submitted cheerfully to the draft? Not if those who did the fighting knew what they were fighting for, and they seem to know, as Colonel Harvey can ascertain for himself by reading the legion resolutions.

AGE-HERALD CHANGES

The Age-Herald, which went in tie eisst- column class some time ago, has now made some changes on it's editorial page. The r.aas- ure is longer, and only six columns are used on this, with no black-face heads, giving the paper much heater appearance, and as a whole, more readable.
 The paragrapher who has tried to write 2S paragraphs a day for about 23 years has been caught mapping Either he can't figure it out or the makeup man is responsible for it, for he isn't running out quite the regular number.
 The only thing we have against the new style of newspaper making is that it all comes from New York, where so many other fancies orig. mate, although some of them may be good.
 Birmingham, Alabama's chief city, is credit ably represented in the newspaper field

portation business of the country had almost reached the amount done at the same time in 1919 and 1920.
 All the improvement in the actual conduct of business preceded the lower rediscount rates and what are termed easier moneX conditions.
 It looks very much as if the products of soil and factory do, in the end, dictate the ebb and flow of money.

FORD AND EDISON

Belief that Henry Ford and Thomas A Edi- son have become associated for future busi- ness operations, with the possibility of H. s. Firestone, working in cooperation with them, was expressed yesterday by Mason J. billiard and MT. billiard expects great things to come for the south from such an organization, should Ford get control of Muscle Shoals
 "The importance of this combination cannot be over-estimated," Mir. billiard said. 'It will certainly start something in the south that will revolutionize this great country of ours. MT. Ford has said that if the government gives him Muscle Shoals he will see that every man has a job, and this is an important statement com ing. from Ford We are getting good reports from Washington, and believe Ford will soon have Muscle Shoals"

 AND ELSEWHERE
TOURIST TRAVEL HEAVY

"The highways leading to Florida are sure ly well travelled these days" states L. N. Mon- roe, of the state highway department. q do not mean to infer that they were not travelled before, but it strikes me that this year the travel has been the largest in the tourist line I have ever seen.
 "The northern tourists began to trek south ward early in August, and a very regular string were coming by the first of September.
 "There are two really big drawing highways to the state which attract thousands of tourists and these are the Florida short route and the Bee Line highway. Both of these highways end in fine parts of Florida and begin con. siderable distance up in the north.
 From my travels to towns through which these highways pass, am impressed that much business is derived from the tourist trade"

WASHED WITH BLOOD

"It was only matter of slight mistake in understanding word in hymn, but it cer- tainly seemed to make great impression upon my little son." said B. R. Trigg of Huntsville yesterday.
 q sent my son, Teddy, off to Sunday school yesterday with two other little children. When he came back to- the house he seemed to be greatly perturbed, and I asked him what was on his mind. He answered that they had sung a hymn in Sunday school that said that they washed away skins with blood.' He strongly objected to this means of cleanliness, saying that his mother scrubbed his ears hard enough with soap and water without using blood to dig into the corners. I'll leave it to you as to just what the words were"

 ''You are discharged,'' repeated the judge. "You can go."

 "Well," stammered the man, "do have to give him back his watch?"
