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.

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

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. Con-
