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. (,'oiikiih Uureau In
dicate that tho cotton crop of/ tho
Suites oast of the Mississippi river
wiil exceed that of last yoar, and
curiont prices aro above thoso of
a year ago. 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.
"Largely growing out Qf the pros
perous conditions of the farmers,
wholesale and retail trade through
out the .Southeast In generally in
good condition.
"Manufacturers in most, lines aro
enjoying a good demand for their
products, and^ their establishments
are running on full time, tho some
slackening of production is to be ex
pected during the holiday season.
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. For twenty years he
has been grinding, grinding, grind
ing, a.s all newspaper folk have to
grind, especially those of the daily
press. A few weeks ago he fell
heir to more than a half million.
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?" ? Oaf fneyLedger.
A' 1 1 meeting of the Rook 11 ill
Merchants' Protective Association
held in their office on December 12,
it was decided U> close all stores
Doceinhor<y?r> and 2t>, in order that
the employees might have two days
for Christmas holiday.
A Kansas man lost a five dollar
bill and advertised for it. In a day
or two a man appeared in his of
fice, saying that he had seen the ad
vertisement, * and handed him the
bill. In a few days the Kansas
man was going through his "other"
clot lies and found the original bill
which he thought he had lost. Not
withstanding the fact that the events
In his story mliy sound suspicious,
the lesson is obvious.
