made on account of the personal
friendship that exised between Sena-
tor Watson and Mr.. Holloman. and
the fairness that the later showed
the Senatr at all times, although not
agreeing with him on all political is
sues.
Mr.. Hollomanis one of the best
known current opinion writer's and
commentators and the close personal
and political friends of Senator Mat
son whom Mrs. Watson advised with
regarding the publication of her hus-
bands memoirs all agreed that the
honor should be offered to Mr.. Hollo-
man.
Senator Watson. who was a candi-
date for President and Vice Prcsi-
dent in the early days of his public
life, after service of one term in
Congress. died while a member of the
United States Senate. Aside from hi,
public service, however, his fame will
also rest upon his great ability ant
success as an author, many of hi
books and histories have been trans
lated and published in many tongue,
and sold the world over.
The friends of Senator Watson
agree, as has been suggested in hun
dreds OF letters, that no history of hi
life should be published except unde
the personal approval of Mrs. Watson
and by biographer personally select
ed by her. Therefore, his friends hop,
that no commercialized effort will b.
made to publish or circulate a histor,

Big Plan Made
7 For Good Roads
Georgia Already Makes Unusual Show
ing and Will Share In Federal
Funds-Highway Depart
ment Praised

ATLANTA, Ga.,-Advocates of
good roads will find much to be gra-
titled at in the consideration OF the
extensive programs of the State High
way Department and the federal gov
eminent, in the latter of which Georgia
and other southern states will share,
it was stated here by experts today.
AS pointed out here and in other
sections of the state, the State High
way Department of Georgia, of which
Hon. Jno N Holder is chairman, is
doing a great work that is not being
fully appreciated because of the efforts
of politicians to make the department
a political issue.
Almost alone and unaided the high
way department, it is declared, is max
ing the fight for good roads in Geor-
gia. The work accomplished along this
line, auto associations and leading far
1ners say, compares favorably with
that of any other state in the union.
Attention is called to the fact here
today that the Young Mems Club of
Brunswick has adopted resolutions
thanking the State Highway Depart
ment for the wonderful work., so
they term it, it has done on roads in
Niyhh SOulity dllQ IIldl SeCllOn OF the
state, and for the enthusiastic cooper
alton the Department has always ex-
tended in any matter looking toward
road improvement which has been TAX
en- up with it.
Highway Department Commended
Georgia is fortunate in having
such an institution as thepresent
the Brunswick News, THE people of
Glynn county have had enough bus
mess dealings with them in enough
projects to give them a pretty good
insight into the workings and the aims
of the Department. And it is from the
experience gained in these transac-
lions brings forth the spontaneous
words of approval such as the Young
Mems Club used in there resolutions"
plates the use of local funds to pay
part of the cost of the improvement
and this means that the various com
munities will secure their share of
the federal-aided roads in just the
proportion and quickness that they
make their share of the Improvement
fund available.

The American people have been cri-
ticized for their indifference to and
ignorance OF good music. If the
schools keep on in the musical pro-
grams they are planning now. that cri-
ticism will soon cease to be true.
The best way to drive out what is
mediocre is to create real liking for
what is good. The jazz wave would
ebb if opportunities were general
enough for creating more wholesome
musical taste and appreciation.
Music is an expression of whole
someness, of love of the beautiful, in
spiration and reflects in large degree
the character of the community. Show
me-, says a writer, "a community that
loves music and takes an active part
in its development and I will show
you community that is happy, up
right and moral"
Creating in the minds Of the child
rem love for music and encouraging
the talents they possess. will surely
react in their welfare to degree that
cannot be expressed.

Business In The South
Again On The Upgrade

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 10Th
Business in the South is again on
the upgrade" says Fairfax Harrison
president of the Southern Railway
Company, in his annual report which
has just been made public.
The output of the mills and factor
les has been steadily increasing dur
ing the past few months the report
continues. An outstanding feature has
been the operation of the cotton mills,
happy contrast with the strike-rid-
den cotton manufacturing centers of
the east.
In July 1922, according to figures
compiled by the United States census
Bureau, 9697 per cent of the spindles
in mills in the cotton producing states
were active, while in other states the
Percentage of active spindles was on
ly 1858. During that month the av-
erage active spindle hours in the south
was $50 compared with las in other
states. In the twelve months ended
July 81, 1922, the mills in the cotton
producing states consumed 3,733,1A
bales, which compares with a con-
sumption of 2,178,767 bales by mills
IN the other states.
The more favorable conditions for
the cotton manufacturing industry in
the South are reflected not only in
operating statistics but also in the re-
cord of new mill construction. During
the same twelve months, according to
the Census Bureau reports, there was
a net increase of 245,831 spindles in
Southern mills and net increase of
only 1857 spindles in mills in states
outside of the South. A survey of new
mills under construction or in pros
pect indie ; continuation of the
tendenc' I by these figures.
