COLUMBUS, GA., a leading cotton manu- 

 facturing city of the South, with a population, 

 chiefly American, of 25,950 in 1916, an increase 

 of 1,251 since 1910. It is the county seat of 

 Muscogee County, and. is situated on the west- 

 ern border of the state, at the head of navi- 

 gation on the Chattahoochee River. Atlanta, 

 the state capital, is 116 miles northeast; Mont- 

 gomery, Ala., is ninety-four miles west, and 

 Birmingham is 157 miles northwest. Railway 

 accommodations are afforded by the Seaboard 

 Air Line, the Central of Georgia and the 

 Southern railways. Steamers ply regularly be- 

 tween Columbus and Apalachicola, Fla., and 

 there is also water connection with Saint 

 Andrew's Bay. The area is nearly three square 

 miles. 



Columbus is in the center of a fertile agri- 

 cultural section, with forests of hardwood and 

 deposits of coal and iron in the vicinity. It is 

 the distributing center for Southwestern and 

 Central Georgia. Abundant power for manu- 

 facture is furnished by the Chattahoochee 

 River, which here has a fall of 120 feet. Three 

 large companies in 1916 were making this 

 power further available by the construction 

 of dams. The cotton industry is paramount 

 in Columbus; it is called the Lowell of the 

 South, on account of its extensive manufacture 

 of cotton goods. Eleven mills employ about 

 5,000 people, consume 350,000 bales of cotton 

 annually, produce 36,000,000 pounds of cotton 

 goods and 2,000,000 pairs of hosiery. There 

 are also two cotton compresses and cottonseed- 

 oil mills. The ginning mills are among the 

 largest in the world. Next in importance to 

 the cotton industry, and equally as old, is the 

 iron industry. The manufactories of the city 

 also produce agricultural implements, store 

 and office fixtures, paving material, syrup and 

 beverages.
