The influenza situation has considerably cleared up in this section. White other portions of the State were sorely visited, we have reason to be thankful that the epidemic was not more serious here. County Treasurer C. E. Leap hart, Accompanied by Couty Auditor W. D. j ent and G. II. Harmon of the Dis . patch-News, are making1 the annual j rounds of the county collecting taxes; j that is, Messrs. Leaphart and Dent! are on ofl&cal duties. So kind reader, If you happen to see Brother Harman while paying your taxes to the government, remember the Dispatch- ' News in these trying days of the high cost of living*. POST-WAR PROSPECTS. As a result of the signing of the armistice the first official steps have j feeen taken for the placing on a pre- i % war basis of those industries which j have had their operations curtailed the Government in order to pro- 1 j vide labor, material and fuel for es- 5 aential war work. Orders have been issued by the War Industries Board and the Fuel Administration which will recluce by about 50 per cent the restrictions heretofore plaoed on for- i ty-two classes of industries. The fact that automobile manufacturers bre j among the classes affected by these i arders will be a source of much grati ! ftcation to prospective purchasers of \ pelasure cars. The restrictions re- i ? J * - - m X1% m ; rt it F /v i n/\ Vvll ?1 r\ t W If 1' g?QUlg LiitJ cccv;uuii ui umvc i/uuuiugo and other similar structures have not yet been relaxed. It seems probable, however, that there will shortly be , further rulings regarding such activi- : . ties, sincethe production and delivery , of building materials for other than war purposes is now permitted. The' return to pre-war industrial conditions must necessarily be gradual in ' order to prevent a shortage of labor ' and material and an unsatisfactory transportation situation. j < Elbert H. Gary, Chairman . of the United State Steel Corporation, and i also Chairman of the Steel Commit- 1 tee of the U. S. War ' Industries ( 'Board, in a recent interview regard- l tag after-war industrial prospects in , this country, predicts an era of unusual prosperity. He urges, however, ' the importance of wisdom and pa- j tien.ce in connection with the world's economic readjustment. The promi- I nent position of Judge Gary in the ' business world affords him an excep- ; tional opportunity to judge accurately as to business prospects and, con- j sequently it is encouraging to note the fact that, while he fully appreciates the dangers and difficulties necessaas^' ily incident to the readjustment -Jter- , Sod upon which we are just entering, : ho states that theb usiness future of ' this country is brighter now than ever ' before.' Among the reasons assigned tiy Judge Gary for his optimism are ' ? the fo-'owing: ^ The United States is the richest of all ror?"t*MPs. n^ccesping about one- < third of the world's wealth. Its nat- { Lural resources are immense and are.. eusceptible to increasing development America is now a creditor na- j Hon with large interest income and J is more virile, more progressive, more j successful, wiser and better than ever P before. There will he a disposition on \ ti?e part of those in authority to as- j rather to attack business ef- ! Sorts, legislation and administra- j' tion will be founded on ascertained i conditions, deficiencies and require-! orients. Both capital and labor will he protected and rewarded. The wel- j fare of employes will be properly pro- t vided for.. Employers and employees will co-operate with each other and i With the gorsmment. Co-ODcration j - will hlso be practiced in dealings be- j tween producers, manufacturers, dis- j tributors and consumers. NOTICE.

He ha/1 been ill for I AKMU >t ook. Mr. Shealy was about j l^hiri. >? :t ilt year of age and came to | ;n:s oil., in 1889 as a employee of the Eastman Gardiner LunHber Co. as the result of his faithful service to this t/e&pany he was many years ag<y Mc&e foreman of the saw mill, which position he held at the time of his" ^LeiiJk. He was a member of I. O. O. 3t/K. of of P. and K. K. always tak-? ing a great deal of interest in the meetings of these lodges, .,*Hr. Charley Green, Vice President antf General Manager of the above j plant says: "$Vade was known thruoghout the South as a first class saw mill man and he ranked with the best of mill j^lri n tend en ts. iA*he stood well in this community j and his death was felt to he a sad loss j to the town of Laurel. We feel his j loss very keenly because we feel we J have lost a friend as well as a man i who will be very difficult to replace." I Thus the great monster, death has claimed another useful life, one in thfb loom of manhood, one who was always ready to assist in time of sickness or otherwise. He leaves a wife, mother two sisters, two brothers and four children, two boys and two girls to mourn his loss. In the death of Mr. Shealy Laurel loses one of its best citizens. Funeral services will be nducted at Hickory Grove cemetery at 10:00 tomorrow morning, the body being canned direct from the undertaking establishment of Travis & Abbey to its last resting place. Rev. Grayson L Tucker, pastor of the Presbyterian church will conduct the services. Among the out of town friends here to attend is Ben S. Cawthron of Jackson.
