B EDITORIAL ^ A $ Worthy Of Emulation ^ ' - - ^^HOSF place is this? came the question-' ing voice of a v.*.tor to our town few days ago as he walked up the street by the millinery shop of Mrs. Callie Hall. "Isn't this fine. If everybody in town would fix up their place* I ke this you would have the cleanest town ir. America." continued tht? stranger. Mrs. Hall's exampd -is w rthy of emulation. Everything about h? r place is neat and trim It u aim. >t spotless. I: is attractive and inviting within and without. Flowers and vines surrou- d it or. all s.oes. If the other busire>> houses of the town would only do half a- : . - as Mrs. Had has done, truly we would have the most remarkable town in i.e country. I: would be a tow,, we .mid boast of with a just ^Qpride and one that would attr: t vi-itors.

Chapter 6 "|"HE News last week carried a story to the effect that Pennsylvania manufacturers of knit underwear had looked over the field end because of more attractive propositions elswhere passed up Hendorsonville and located in Murphy. This gives Hendersor.ville lots of food for constructive thought. Our climate Is good. Our water is in abundance. We have paved streets W? have lands at resorbable, prices. Our climate is all that cou'd be asked for. The surrounding farming country would enable us to feed a mill town at little expen>e and at the sanvr time give us a good market for our produce. which ha? been rotting in the fid-. What's the trouble? We scanned the rages of the Murphy Scout to see if St would reveal the secret and it did so with a b'g streamer across the front page teTI'rg t" the establishment of three factories there u:tha a period of only three weeks. On a little further we look to see what we ,-an discover. We find that the business men of Murphy agreed to erect a build:ng nn<! I.iacd if w"*V? ? - * cost. We found that other business men having large realty holdings made some attractive concessions. We further found that local capital was invested. Herein lies the secret. Hendersonville mi??t arte up if she expects to get factories. It takes a I:tt!e more than climate, hot air gushes, mountain water and suitable sites. We must learn to embrace the opportunities about us. We are not a wealthy people nut \e will have to "each down ^rd somewhat lift ourselves out of the rv're ly our "\n hoot straps. We must no? expect thvs to come along and do for ug what we have for all these years failed to do for ourselves. We are going to have a community of smoke stacks when we deserve them.

MURPHY, NORTH Ci > , Know North Carolina * , AN ALABAMA VERDICT. ^HAT is the process by which North Cai olina is enriching itself so rapidly that it recent history is attracting widesprea comment? The Hons ton Post answers tha question by saying: A bale of cotton leaves Us, and we distri bute among produces, ginner, country mei chant, tax collectors, railroads, and con: I orcssors, sbest $130. !"It comes back to us in products fc , which we pay from $500 to $5,000. \V ; - v the difference between the $130 an ' the sum we pay for finished products t j others who dv> the work that could be don ight here at home by pcop!e who hav nothing to do." Commenting upon tlje example of Nsrt ' Carolina, the Birmingham News says: This state offers to cotton mills the mos attraction of any of the ?:ra state m the way of natural resou: s. Cotto must now be hauled long distances to suj i ply Carolina mills; they use far more tha I the state can grow -Alabama cotton i going to Carolina to have that value bt i twcen 5130 and $5,000 added ?and lei i :n Carolina as profit. "We have a great surplus of cotton an will have for mtany years. It can be dc livered at mill platforms with no freigh on it. and the grower can be beneficiar ; or a bettered price thereby. We nav ' abundant and well distributed cheap hytlrc power. We have a i'i.ie class of nativ I citizenry to work in these mills. One o the main reasons Eastern mills wants t come south to get away from the foreign er as operatives. They are bolshevistic, tu: bulenc. excitable. and seem to profe trouble to peaceful work.*' No Southern etate is naturally more In citing to cotton mill industry than Alabarn No other Southern state has the waterpowe resource* of Alabama.?
