Washington, Doc. 12. President Harrison, of tho Southern Hull way Co., speaking. today of the business outlook In tho South, said: "Conditions tbruout tho -territory traversed by Southern railway linen aro generally favorable. The farin o.h of iho Southeast, except In ro h noted local itles where they suffer ed from drought, have had a highly prosperous year. The ginning re ports of tho IJ. B.

While tho estimate of iho total corn crop of tho united States, recently issued by the United Saos Deparmen of Agrlculuro, will show a falling off, compared with last your, of 061,7 29,009 hushei& the crop In the nine Southeastern states traversed by the Bouthern rail way 1?, within twenty-one bushels sb large as last year, the only South eastern states showing decreased yields on account of the drought be ing Kentucky and Tennessee. Other crops, including forage, have turned out well, and, taking the territory as a whole, 1 doubt whether the far mers of the Bouthoast have ever had a more favorable year.

The- reports of cotton mill and knitting mill development are par ticularly noteworthy." John M. Charlotte of the Green ville News is what might be termed a lucky dog.

We congratulate John, but want, to inquire, as Jim Teague asked when called upon to make a speech on the night of the election to crorvte Cherokee county: "Now that you have it. what the h- ? 1 are you go ing to do with it?" ?
