Mary and Her Little Lamb.
Modern version.)

(Modern version)
Mary had little lamb,
She led him to the slaughter,
And every day she made him pay
The cash he hadn't oughter.
He followed her to cabarets,
And everywhere they'd go
1t made the people laugh and smile,
To see the lamb in tow.
She left a dance with someone else,
But still he fingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.
And then he went to her and laid
His hand upon her arm,
AS II to say, Pm not afraid.
I'll keep you from all HARM"
What makes the lamb love Mary
So"
Then asked the stranger guy,
Cause Mary says she loves the
lamb"
The people made reply.
Alas, he was the man who bought
Our Mary's cluster ring.
He knocked the lamblxin for a loop,
And no one said q thing.
An ambulance came down the
street,
And took the lamb away,
And Mary sighingly remarked,
1.-THE women always pay!''

LABOR AND CLIMATIC

New England Losing Sight Of
Advantages Of Mills-MiII
Owners Are Dissatisfied

Sundays Magazine Section of the
Atlanta Journal contained an article
ont why Cotton Mills Are Moving
South" of more than ordinary in
terest to residents of this section. Be-
casne of this interest the article is
fdfeSfeproduced, as follows:
=" Eastern cotton mills are moving to
the. South. The cotton fields and the
cotton mills are getting together"
This movement, which began twenty
five years ago, when small branches
were established here by eastern con-
Germs, has increased in momentum
during the last four years to such an
extent that New England, the home
of the cotton mill industry, has be
come genuinely alarmed.
This situation is summed up in
statement made recently by Robert
Amory, president of the National A
ISOLATION of Cotton Manufacturers,
to the Associated Press.
New England" he says, "has lost
sight of the development the cotton
mills brought her. The south still ap-
preciates the cotton mills and wants
more"
"The South has many advantages to
Offer" says L. L. Arnold, editor of
Cotton" "First the nearness of the
source of raw cotton, the abundant
water power and adjacenet coal fields,
transportation facilities, excellent eli
matte conditions for textil manufac-
turing and the high quality and COM
parative settled conditions of south
ern labor"

azine published, and from records in

facts were brought out.

Association of Cotton Manufacturers,
shows that:
The Appleton Mills, of Lowell,
Mass, and the Jencks Spinning Com
pany, of Pawtucket, R. l., have an
nounced that they would transfer
part of their plant and equipment to
the South. The Appleton company is
now at work on factory in Forest
City, N. c., to accommodate $4,000
spindles and $4,000 looms.
The Pacific Mills, operating the
largest print works in the world at
Lawrence, Mass, have announced
their intention of building extensively
in the South.

Mass, have recently purchased ap-
proximately 200 acres Of land II

Huntsville, Ala, is one of of the
many Alabama cities where the
chamber of comerce is cooperating

advantages offered prospective mill

"This is typical, of many other

summed up as: More employment,
more money, more industrial and
