' FORWARD MARCH THE SOOTH'S ffl Mr. H. H. Edmunds Draw Striking Picture of the South of Tomorrow. THE PAST IS REVIEWED Striking Reasons Wliy the South i n-Minni 10 l< igure ISlnitlK ill National l.ife. Not since the panic of Octobe 1907, lias the situation looked si promising for the South as at pres ent, writes Mr. Richard 11. Ed mutuls in Tiie Manufacturers' Rec ord. During the last eight years wi have had no period of broad gen oral prosperity in this country. W' have had brief spurts in some par ticular lines of industry, and wi had tive or six years of exception ally good conditions in the produc tion and price of cotton, but in ai this period there has been a lack o enthusiasm and snap. Uuilroudi were feeling the full effect -of tin hampering restriction against capi tal and corporations, and, therefore could do but little improvement o extension work. New railroads wen scarcely to be thought of, excep where here and there some during attempt was made to build a smal line. In all that long period, the 1 rot and steel inlustry of the South, wai more or less depressed, and for i great part of the time was verj seriously depressed and operated a little or no profit. The dullness it railroad construction work brough about great dullnes and depressioi in lumber, one of the South's larg est inlustrles. While cotton wai high during a considerable part o that time, cotton goods were foi most of the period low in price, an> cotton mills were run without nine' profit, except in rare cases. One of the most depressing am at the same time most noticeabh features in connection with a broac study of the whole South was tin lack or that optimism ami entlius iasm and determination to achiev. things which had been so pronounc ed for many years prior to tli< panic of 1907. SCENE SHIFTS. Now the whole scene has beei . , shifted. The stage apparently liai 'k been set for a new order of things The mighty panorama of broa< Southern development which ha: been moving so slowly for the las eight years begins once more t< unfold with increasing rapidity. The spirit of optimism is spread ing. Quickened by the very situa tion which the South facdd las Fall, determined that this sectioi should not lie downed by one year o adverse conditions in trade, nor In made to stand before the world a improverisneu. unauie 10 meet. a tent porary difficulty, the people of th< South are arousing themselves am preparing to march forward to : victory over every unfavorable cir cumstance. No one can pick up a Southeri paper anywhere from Maryland on to Texas and Oklahoma withou catching the note of optimism whicl is being struck by everybody in every direction, The iron and steel industry i crowded as it has not been sinci the early part of 1907. Some fur naces out of blast for ten or 1 years are being made ready as ran | idly as possible to blow in again Advancing prices in iron are givini a broader margin of profit to th ironmakers than they have knowi for years, Cotton mills are fully employed and there are more signs of c.ctlvit in the enlargement of existing mill and the construction of new mill than for eight or 10 years. The lumber industry shows a r< viving tendency, with advancln prices and a heavy increase in di raand. The phosphate rock industry, al most dormant since last fall, l>egin again to show signs of life, and, wit increasing activity, mines long Idl are now being started up.

Expenditures for municipal and road improvement work, and especial 1 ly for the latter, are on a scale nevoi | known before in the South. The South's wonderful grain eroii of 1,GOO.000,000 bushels, or 346,000,S 000 bushels in excess of last vear'^ yield has been an illumination to the entire country as to the grain-growing potentialities of the South. Coincident with ibis the heavy increase in the production of meats and the greater attention that is being given s to livestock raising, hogs and cattle alike commanding more attention in me soum now tnan over before. And added to nil this improvement r is the remarkable change which has J taken place 'n the cotton market. - With a crop of 10,000,000 to 12." 000,000 bales now being picked ad" (led to the stock of 4,000,000 or !>,000,000 bales brought over from 0 last year, the market is eagerly ab" sorbing the supply at advancing prices?at prices which, indeed, ~ would have been considered very R profitable only a few years ago be" fore the South was able to sell one " or two crops at higher figures than ' for many years. ^ Running over the whole range of B agricultural and industrial and rail13 road activities, the situation is hope" fill in the extreme Wbiln < ??..? industries have not yet benefited by r the change that is taking place, 9 tlrey are very .limited in extent as 1 compared In the aggregator with 5 those that are ou ?u altogether dif' fertnK plane of 4t*fetoity as compared with last year, and many of theni as i 'compared with any period since ? 1907. v The South now only needs faitn f in itself and the right kind of ent ergy, well directed, to bring about ? a more far-reaching and widespread t and universal prosperity than it ha? i bad since the palmy days of 1900 - and the early part of 1907. when s every railroad was crowded to its f utmost capacity and when every r industrial enterprise was running t > 1 the limit of its available supply of i men. "As a man thinketh in tlie hear* 1 so is he," is as true of a country i as it is of an individual. If the 1 South thinks broad world thoughts. 2 if it thinks in terms of material - development based on its limitles; resources, if it thinks of its Heaven given opportunities and feels that ii a would be a laggard if it did not turn these resources into employment and wealth-creating realities, then there ( | will soon come a broad sweep of prosperity which will lift the South to a higher plane than it has ever j known. Forward, March! s Just anil Capable. ' Columbia Record. Some of the people know?and others are beginning to find out? that Mr. Manning is making South 1 Carolina a good governor. Some 1 may have been disappointed because 1 he does not magnify himself all the 9 time. But. being a man of modesty s and refinement as well as of goon sense, he is bending himself to his 9 work, making no show, no palaver, no ' stage acting; realizing that if the 1 people have the opportunity to see ? n;ti m; is uomg uiey win approve his course when he is right. And lie 1 is generally right, having made just r enough mistakes to prove that he is ' human, and at that no more than any 1 other mail in the state would have made under the circumstances. And Mr. Manning's administration s promises to be progressively useful. l" For as it grows upon tlie people that he is capable and that he is honest and that he is just, just so will thov learn to depend upon the office of ' governor to handle the affairs of the K state in a just and capable manner.

S, OCTOBER 5, 1915. i II 8 S i i i rr. imn n I !! ? 3 + THE KNOCKER. + r' * j GafFney Ledger. ! One of our exchanges remarks : that this is a day of i)oosters and ' j . boosting. A great majority of our ?1 j people are desirous of seeing tlieir >. town grow. Everybody watches the ;, census report just to see how big * they liave gotten. The thought of advancement seems to be in the pop*1 ular mind. *' Rut also we have a sort of counter ? . irritant in every community that we commonly speak of as the*knocker. We always have had him and possibly 5: . always will. He is in Gaffney, and ; possibly lie has a mission to fill. * Hut whether tie is of an." use or 1 i i B not, we have him, and should be able > , to take eare of him. Any movement il ? for improvement and betterment in the community will bring him to the _ fore, and it often happens that the _ local knocker is the very one who "' j, should be the bigger booster in your HI 1| town. i i .1 It often happens, too, that the IJ knocker is not a pessimist at hear*, ( but simply knocks for lack of under- } , standing. He works against bis own ?! J interest, against the interest of bis '! s| fellow townsmen, because he really 1 doesn't know what is best for him. ! This often happens just because peojl pie do not put forth any effort to be- ^ ! come better acquainted with those <1 t' about them. ?. r The business men in a certain lit- \\ 8 tie city feel the need of a new bridge s jj across the river, but the farmers on f| the other side of the river have been '! ,! told, by some politician, perhaps, who wishes to currv their favor, that * ' i such a bridge would be an enormous tax and those farmers are almost to a man against the bridge proposition jji , i just because they do not understand, 4 > they have not stopped and seriously 2^ considered the situat ion, they have J J -i f { I not realized that the bridge across the stream will bring them nearer to , the town to better markets, to closer j p' fellowship with those of the other r r side of the stream, and that all those !: I things are of value to them. These 'I , men are knocking because they do 11 not understand. Yes, every town seems to have the I knocker, hut we can not afford to take him seriously; we must simple , go on and ignore him. If you have '< work t<> do in Claffney. do it. It may ' ] . require a little nerve, some back- ?; hone, and courage, but if a thing .. needs to be done it will pay you to do it. Throughout this country there H are many towns that have absolutely ( no reason for not progressing, except mat tnere aro some few people in the community who hold back?because < there are some knockers to be reck1 oned with. % r j Yes, we have him. It may be that he has retired from active business. ^ 1 He has no children to educate, con- a 1 sequently he is not interested in the < betterment of the schools. lie is i 1 penurious and hasn't bought an au- % ' tomobile, so he doesn't eare about < spending his hard earned money for ^ street improvement, lie doesn't hear ^ very well and so doesn't go to church, a so he doesn't l'cel inclined to con- 1 tribute to the support of the church. < Yes, we have him. There are many such knockers abroad. He is usually V 8e 1 f)sh, and the selflsh person is never < 1 the best for the community, but < since we have him in some form or < other it is necessary for you, the < ??'??? ?" ttti ? tin i.iimiii in DUCK- 4> 1 le on your sword and go out and ^ f fight the buttles of your town and < ' community without paving attention \ to him. If you can just go on and do tilings you will he surprised to see ' how many of the knockers will . J1 Z in lino, and after while ask to earrv - the flag or beat the drum. 1 V Assist Your I Stomach ?
