NEW INDUSTRIES
COMING SOUTH
Exhibit BY Southern Railway Results
AdvantageCusly TO States South
of Mason and Dixon Line.

New York, Sept 20.--Prospects
are bright for the location of several
important industrial industries in
the South as the result of the South
ern Railway Systems exhibit of min
eral and chemical resources of the
territory it serves at the Seventh Ma
tionaI Exposition of Chemical Indus
tries in New York, which came to a
close on Saturday, September H.
Wide attention was attracted to
the remarkable opportunities for in
dustrial development in the South by
the Southern's exhibit which was the
only one made by an American Rail
way. The exposition proved great
success, the total attendance having
been over 100000, made up almost
entirely Of chemical experts and manu-
facturers interested in the develop
ment of new industries and looking
for favorable locations.
Throughout the week the South
ern's booth was thronged by visitors.
many of whom were amazed at the
showing Of Southern resources, par
ticularly as to the great variety Of
minerals needed for the new chemi-
al industries which are now being
developed in America.

ENUMERATION
CHURCH GOERS
Religious Census To BE Taken BY
All Churches Next Sunday Af-
ternOOn at Two O'clock.


An enthusiastic meeting was helc
last Sunday afternoon at three O'Clock
at the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, the purpose of the
meeting being to get the work under
way for the taking of religious cen
sus Of the city of Columbus.
| The meeting was called to order
J by the Rev. Jesse d. Franks, who
appointed a committee to divide the
city into districts for the canvas. The
committee is composed Of Mr.. V. B.
lines, Mr.. II. Fl. McClanahan, Mr..
Thomas A. Harris and Mr.. b. G.
Hull. These gentlemen will hold a
meeting on Friday night, at which
time they hope to have the names of
one hundred men, members of the
various churehes of the city. who
will make thorough canvass of the
fifty districts of the city to secure
the names of all persons together
with their church affiliation or
church preference. This census, when
completed, will give the pastors a
definite base from which to work in
recruiting their churches and Sunday
Schools.
The gentlemen who are to take
The religious census will meet at 1:45
., m. next Sunday at the First Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, for in
structions and to be assigned to their
districts. At two o'clock they will
begin their work.
1t is the request of the Religious
Census Committee that the people of
Columbus be in their homes next
Sunday afternoon from two to four
o'clock p. m, in order that the work
of making the enumeration may be
within two hours. If any
homes are closed, it will be necessary
for the canvassers to make second
trip over their districts, and this will !
delay the completion Of the enumer-
alton.
THIS co-operauon is earnestly re-
quested, and it is hoped none Of our
people will let the request 20 unheed-
I'd. The taking OF the religious cen
sus is for the general good and is to
be made in the hope Of giving Colum-
Gus an uplift in the matter of church
md Sunday School attendance.

CITE RAILROADS
TO APPEAR OCT. 3
Carriers Must Show Good Rea-
son Why Freight Rate Should
Not BE Reduced.

! Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 20 Ever!
railroad in Alabama was cited by tn
public service commission Thursda!
afternoon to appear at the Capital OF
Monday, October 3, and show why an
order should not be issued making
great reductions in the rates on cot
ton, cotton Iinters, other cotton prod
ucts, coal, coke, and grain products
handled for the general public, 1t is
the most far-reaching citation ISSUED
by the commission since the federal
government was shorn of its war
time powers over public utilities and
the railroads were returned to their
owners.
The citation was issued by the two
associate commissioners, B. H. Coop
er and S. p. Gaillard, after conference
at the Capitol during the day. A. G.
Patterson, president Of the commits
sion, did not participate at this time
because of his absence on official
business. However, it is known that
he fully concurred in the order of the
other two commissioners.
Unless the railroads can show that
the rates which they established un
der the authority supposedly of the
director general of railroads during
the time the railroads were in the
hands of the government are justified
and that a reasonable return cannot
be obtained on smaller rates, the com
mission will order reduction. Many
complaints have been received by the
commission recently, the contention
being that the railroads have been
collecting more than they were per
mitted by the general order OF the
director general of railroads.
The American Cotton Association
to come before the commits
sion in support or reductions, espe-
cially in the rates on farm products,
Senator B. B. Conner, ]. Howard Smith
Of PrattvilIe, and w. C, Coker Of
Greenville will be before the commits
sion in opposition to the present rates
This promises to be a great fight
probably one of the greatest since the
abroad litigation of several years
.go. Great interest was manifested
throughout the state when the rail
'oads were controlled by the govern
nent and the public service COM
mission of Alabama had no jurisdic
ion over any rates.

BY JAMES W. DEAN

NEW YORK.-The star of the film
version of Peter Ibbetson' Is Arthur
Miller, the cameraman. This photo
play is photographically the best
that has yet graced the silver screen.
George F~itzmaurice. director, prob
ably should share in the credit for
that.
This film contains more double
exposures than any other ever ex-
hibited but interest in that is lost in
the sheer beauty of the exteriors.
Their Photographic composition
gives them the quality of fine steel
etchings.
Peter Ibbetson" is Wallace Reds
most pretentiOus attempt at roman
tic acting. He measures up to the
requirements of all his scenes except
the closeup. In that he relies upon
his chief stock in trade for facial *

Mimsi. Thus one would hardly think
of the character as being Miss Fer
guson were she not billed on the pro-
gram. Praise be to her, for this is
the first p%hOtoplay in which she has
accomplished that.
However,, histrionic honors go to
George Faweett in the role of Major
Deauenois. He makes that lovable
old character stand out on the
screen as a living, breathing entity
of the picture.
This film. like almost all films of
extra footage, contains a lot of ex-
traneous matter and scenes that de-
tract from the story interest. How
ever. the photography is such an ar
tistic treat that n is quite willing
that the fada-nnt he delayed.
This is George Fftzmaurice's best
directed picture. 1t Is Elsie Fergu-
sons best screen. performance. | be-
heve it is an unfortunate casting for
Wallace Reid, but all-in-all he does
unusually well. The supporting cast
Is entirely adequate. The photog-
Yaphy is of s~uperlative quality, Thus
.Peter Ibbetson' takes rank with
the best p~hotoplays Of the year.
The reader may conjecture on
what basis a critic judges an element
of the %photoplay. The basis of all
criticism of screen or stage produc-
lions is the possibilities for develop
ment of the play in each of its fea-
lures as indicated by the accomplish
ments in the same features of other
plays. Thus criticism is largely a

Apparel

Interest in apparel is confined mostly
to the retail end. Warmer weather
has given the retail trade q brighter
tone and fewer complaints are heard
from the merchants regarding poor
business. The season in mems straw
hats has started. auspiciously with q
good distribution and little complaint
on the part of consumers regarding
present prices Keen competition in
selling has brought prices nearer pre-
war levels than have been seen for two
or three years. From So to S5 is the
popular selling price, according to re-
tailers.
Some cuts have been made. by re-
tailcrs to move spring clothing for
both men and women, and where the
cuts have been drastic good sales have
resulted. In the opinion Of most mer-
chants demand is centered on the ex-
tremes of merchandise, the poorest at
one end and the best at the other.
This is peculiar and is hard to ex-
plain, in view of the fact that up to
the present the bulk Of retail buying
has been done by the so-called middle
classes

Strict Railroad
Economy Needed,
Survey Discloses
u. S. Commerce Chamber.
i'm Report, Urges a Sharp
Cut i'm Operating Costs IL
Credit Il Re-establislled

WASHINGTON, May 22.--Railroads
must make sharp reductions in their
operating expenses If their credit and
financial stability arc to be reatah-
lished, a committee of tho Chamber Of
Commerce OF the United States, which
has made survey of the transporta-
tion question, declared in a staten ent
tonight.
Necessity of rracticing strict econ
omy was urged, the committee point
ing out that "readiustment of salaries
and wages is in progress in all other
industries, and IL is to be assumed
that railroad wages will in the future,
as they have in the past, bear an
equitable relationship to wages paid in
other activities"
The committee was of the opinion
that the grouping or consolidation of
railroads must ultimately be accom-
plished, 1t also declared that Fed
eral incorporation of railroads was
highly desirable.
No additional legislation on the rail
road question was, however, needed at
this times the statement said, as 1t
was advisable to have further expert
ence with the transportation act be-
fore attempting TO modify it.
The committee said it had come to
the conclusion that "even with in
creased traffic that will come with the
gradual return of business prosperity
the business of railroad transporta-
tion cannot be restored to profitable
basis until the present high operat-
ing expenses are cut down"
Stressing the need for more eco
nomic methods of operation, the COM
mittee said the first step toward the
accomplishment of economies should
be greater cooperation among the car
riers in the performance of their ser
vices. In terminal organization and
management, the report said, the CO.
operation of the carriers was espe-
cially urgent.
"Whatever economies may be ef-
fected by changes in operating
methods" it was said, "there inevitably
must be reduction in the percentage
which salaries and wages comprise of
the total operating revenue. The pay
roll Of the railroads in 1917 amounted
to S1,7OO, 100000, or about AS per cent
of the operating revenue. In 1920 the
pay roll had more than doubled, having
risen to $3,750, 100000, which was about
60 per cent of operating revenue"
