WILSON PREDICTS DEMO CRATIC VICTORY. Ex-President Woodrow Wilson pre diets a Democratic victory in the na tionai election next year, in a letter made public Friday, says The New York Times, by the Women’s Na tional Democratic Club, Inc., which he sent to Miss Lillian M. Sire, its President, in response to one from her, extending the felicitations of the season to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and jto Mr. Wilson birthday greetings on be half of the club. Mr. Wilson’s letter follows: “My Dear Miss Sire: “It makes me very proud to real ize that I have such friends and supporters as the ladies of the Wo men’s National Democratic Club, In corporated, and their birthday greet ing gives me unalloyed pleasure. “I hope that the year now about to open may prove a prosperous one to the club in.every way, and that every Sort of happiness may come to its members. I feel confident that it is to be a year of Democratic tri umph. . . “With sincere personal apprecia tion and regard. “Faithfully yours, “WOODROW’ WILSON.’’ The departure of Mr. Lancaster from Laurens will be considered a dis tinct loss to the city. He has always been considered one of the city’s most progressive and wide-awake citizens. His numerous friends throughout the city and county will be sorry to learn that he is to leave here but will wish him success in his new venture. Mr. Lancaster came to Laurens from Spartanburg county about 1904 upon the completion of a business course in Spartanburg business school. He came here as assistant to Mr. N. B. Dial, then president of the Enter prise Bank and the Ware Shoas Man ufacturing Company, under construc tion at that time. He has retained the same connections since that time, steadily rising to the cashiership of the bank. In addition to his imme diate duties there, he has-beeh suc cessfully interested in other business enterprises. He is a director of the Watts Mills. Besides his business activities, he has been interested in social and church work and is an active worker in the First Methodist church.

BOYD, President. 12-6-4tc WE MUST STAND TOGETHER As 1924 dawns and our thoughts turn toward business for the coming year, the future* is brighter and we should look-for and expect prosperity rather than a period of depression and poor business as many are inclined to predict The signs o< the time, back ed by the opinions of students of world conditions, point to a prosperous period for 1924 and declare that there is no just cause for pessimism. Facing the future with this optimis tic feeling, there is one fact we might as well clearly get in our minds at the outset, namely, that the commericial welfare of the community is built upon the principle of mutual support and cooperation among those who make up the aggregate social group of our community. The demand that those living in this community should do their business here as far as pos sible, is based upon the sound prin ciple that those who are provided with eimdoyment by the different agencies of the community, should expend their income in patronizing the mercantile and commercial institutions in a way that will support and advance the in terests of the various community in dustries. A city such as the one in which we live is a complex organiza tion, and its industrial and commer cial development depends in a very large measure upon its social unity and the cooperation of the various factors in the community’s life. There is a large group of those who (Continued from Page One) Secretary Mellon s tax reduction pro gram is adopted, in the opinion of John W. Prentiss, president of the Investment Bankers’ Association of America. “Secretary Mellon’s plan for the re duction of taxes,” Mr. Prentiss said, “is one of the most progressive and sensible things that the business in terests of the country have had be fore them for years. The plan is beneficial to all, injurious to none. It will direct a flow of capital from dead investments to live industry. It is an insurance against unemployment. It will bring greater prosperity to the farmer, to the laborer, to the rail road man, to the doctor, and to the banker. In short, jt will help us all.” Expressing the opinion that “the railroads have adjusted themselves fairly well to live under the Transpor tation Act,” Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific Railroad, de clared that “if by mischievous tink ering with it the politicians do not destroy the progress already made, and do not enact other laws requir ing new adjustments by the railroads, we believe that the end of the rail road problem will have been seen be fore the end of 1924.’’ “While it is early to make estima- mates on the crops of 1924, many of which are contingent on conditions that may prevail until actual har vest,” Mr. Kruttschnitt added, “we believe that conditions are now gen erally favorable and good crops can reasonably be expected in 1924. De mand will, of course, control prices. The purchasing power of the nations in Europe that furnish our principal markets is limited by existing condi tions, but unless they get very much worse our farmers may hope for pric es substantially as now prevail.
