The story goes that Rip Van Winkle slept for 20 years, but it is a safe bet that he didn’t take this snooze in the vicinity of Prentiss and Riverside. The progressive citizens of these two towns are on the jump. They are offering free factory sites to any industrial enterprise that will locate in their towns. And incidentally they have some of the best locations for factories in the county. The good people of Prentiss and Riverside are not working in opposition to Franklin. They are only looking out for Number One and no one can blame them for so doing. If they are willing to offer greater inducements than does Franklin, industrial enterprises will naturally locate there.
In this connection it should be remembered that the Press is run solely in the interest of the county and that it is in no way partial to Franklin when another section of the county has an opportunity to better itself. The Press therefore wishes Prentiss and Riverside all success possible in the progressive undertakings.
From the editorial page of the Franklin Press, Macon County, N.C., March 3, 1925
