A LOSING EMPIRE
/ ^
Gen. Walter A. Harris of Ma
con, “startled the Kiwanis Club
of Jackson,*^by the bold decia
ration that Georgia is “no longer
the Empire State of the Soutjh.’’
He maintained that on the one
side Florida had grown to be an
Empire State and on the other
side North Carolina has come in
to the title. The Augusta Her
ald takes issue with the general
and quotes a speech of “a promi
nent Georgian at a dinner party
in New York,’’ in evidence, and
its remarks directed to the pessi
mistic general might seem to in
dicate that The Herald regards
him as the Bailey of Georgia. It
is ^uch pleasanter to hear talk
of the consolidated -Georgia cow
“whose milk would float a car
go of cheese and butter from Sa
vannah to New York,” while
she grazed on the vegetables at
the equator, switching iciclea off
the North Pole with her tail,
meanwhile. Georgia is the skme
big State as ever, and it has the
same handicap of politics. If
she proposes to hold to her title
as an Empire, she must first get
rid of a surplus of the politics

THE GREATEST OF AU BRIDGES
The North CarolnTa highway
contract included half a dozen
bridges of the major type which
made big draft on Btate funds
The first of these, completed
three years ago, was the bridge
over the Pee Dee, near Albe
marie. But the Pee Dee gave
more trouble further down be

Wadesboro and Bockingam, and
that called for another bridge a
little larger than the one further
inland. Again the same stream
under the name of the Yadkin,
called for a bridge out from
SalisburV'S pencer. It was
“down east,” however, that
bridge construction developed in
to the monumental. The struc
ture across the Roanoke, at Wil-
liamstoD, was finished with a
big celebration, two years' ago',
and at that time the matter of
bridging the wider Chowan,
which yet blocked the way into
the northeastern corner , Of the
State, was of vexed discussion.
Finally, the determination to de
vote $600,000 to conquest of the
Chowan was arrived at. Then,
as in the case of the Buster
Boyd bridge, nearer home, arose
a fight over location of '~the
