We can be pardoned for the roseate future that seems 50 sure for Walker county, can be excused for the optimism that prevades every part of this rich section of ours, which seems at last to be coming into it's own-Jasper Mountain Eagle. -
 AndaIusia's Excellent Plan.-The Andalu- sia plan of going ahead and building its own cotton mills is most excellent plan and where towns can do this they, are fortunate, but if it is not possible for town to build its own mills, the next best thing is to go after some northern plant, that is seeking loca- tion. The trend of the textile industry is from the New England states to the south, and it is movement that will make the south the center of the cotton manufacturing industry. The public spirited work of such men as those in Andalusia who are building cotton mills in their home towns adds to the greatness of the industrial south, for it shows the faith of the people of the south in the fu- ture of the south.-Anniston Star.
