We say that to any man and every man in Fairfield county who at this time in deciding that there is nothing to look forward to in Fair field; to the man who is accepting somebody's preconceived notion that we can't succeed unless the mershants do business on the old lien dasis and that he cannot subsist on business done on the amount of circulating csah, that people are hoarding cash and buying on credit, that the time has not yet come for the developments which should have been made twenty five years ago, and that we should wait a while to borrow money to get right in the way of roads and streets and all other permanent - -improve ments. Let us reason together and see if this is true. Let's cast accounts and see how the balance stands, if we can afford to go forward or nominally stand still but actually go backward. And while looking to the future let's not consider altogether the possibility * of others coming in, however wel come, and developing our resources, but what can be done by ourselves. Of course we have advantages to offer seekers of manufacturing sites, but that must not be all. What have. we to offer to ourselves. WhMt advan tage have we to offer our own up growing citizens which will induce therni to stay at home, instead of mi grating to some other section or city. When the last census was taking the count showed that the population in Winnsboro had not increased at all for the preceding ten years. Did you ever sit down and try to analyze the reason for that? Why did the boys move away to some other section ? Is there a reason for their going ? Why can they sheceed better some where else than at home ?

Do tne ~paved streets of another town attract them, and will our prospectivb izfn jproveme'nts keep them here? ligt in themselves, but paved streets and a clean town as an evidence of a spir it of growth and an indication of a place where one can succeed will both attract and hold. There is born in a fellow an innate desire for success, an ambition to make a name for him self. And where this ambition is de nried in one place it will seek expres sion in another. It is a current ex pression that you can't keep a'good man down; and it might also be truly sR that you can't keep a young man dos 2. He is both an optimist and a 'go-getter. Our young men are our greatest potential assets, and we must keep them at all costs, even if it takes paving the streets or making any oth er improvements whereby his natural inclinations ft. geing forward may find expressioni. Much has been said for and against these permanent improvements as an inducement to manufacturers locat ing here. In times past manufact uring corporations were not interest ed in their workers or their living conditions. When a town wanted to attract a manufacturer it offered a bonus of thousands of dollars as an inducement. Now the style has chan ged and manufacturers ARE inter ested in their people and unless a town is healthy and offers conditions leading to right living and contented people it will not attract. Manufact urers even want to kpow what will be the mental attitude of the town people toward the operatives employ ed by them. If our streets are pav ed and the whole town kept clean and attractive so the operatives will wish to become citizens instead of resid ents, instead of offering a cash bonus as the inducement, we can say "We have the equivalent of that bonus in improvements which will make people want to live here and work in your plant. You will be assured of good work because your operatives enjoy their homes and are therefore contented. Instead of cash we offer the highest type of workman in the world, one who takes pride in home and product.". And speaking of manufacturers, we -always think of cotton mnills of course.

Babson announced a definite turn in business and showed 1 wh fnaenalcodosicat covery. Standing before a Babsonchart twelve feet high and thirty feet long Mr. Babson explained the situation. "I have been waiting for over two years to be able to announce that the most drastic depression in business istory has spent itself. Fundament 11 conditions finally indicate that a olid foundation is ready for general 'and substantial business 'improve ment. "The white line that I draw today Thides the area of depression in half. Statistically it means we are at the exact bottom of the cycle. Practically t means that business will -pick up his fall and that it should continue jto improve for the next two or three years. "Technically, the business cycle is composed of the four succeeding cycles of Prosperity, Decline, Depres sion, and Improvement, but the aver age business man experiences but two 1conditiqns. Either sales are increas ng and business isfine or they are 1falling off and he is in deep depres sion. His attitude changes, not , as we pass from a period of prosperity above -the XY Line into a period of depression below, but as the white lines are drawn which divide these areas-when business changes its direction. "When we had completed half of the depression in the middle of 1904, business began to improve and busi ness men went into a state of psych ological prosperity almost over night. We were running below normal to be sure, but things were again headed in the right direction. "Early in 1907 the panic set in and business confidence practically dis appeared.. We did not enter the ac-1 tual area of depression until the fall of that same year. "In April 1908 another white line marked the turning point and things oomed again until the long swing lownward set in about June 1910. ['his decline, while not drastic, kept >usiness quiet until the middle of 1914 chen things again turned upward. ['he war with its feverish activity ari%d us on until the middle of 1918 hen the actual rise had spent itself. VOL. II. NO. 19 tain Parasols eived by express. Pretty teel frames.

"In spite of the fact that the stock market has already discounted the improvement to a large extent the investor can hold his stocks for the top of a bull market which is almost never reached until after the white has been restored.
