OPTIMISTIC
CONDITIONS
VAIL
PRE-
On every hand we read of healthy
commercial conditions in the south and
every day we hear men who know
whereof they speak giving utterance
to optimistic predictions for the im
mediate future of the industrial world,
and especially concerning the south
ern states. These statements and
comments of the leading business men
of our section of the country give
a most comfortable feeling.
Last week, Printers Ink, one of the
leading journals of the country, de
voted to the advertising and publicity
field, crave a very extensive article
along these lines, in which it quoted
prominent manufacturers and bank
ers of the south who ascribe the
reasons why the south has not cap
itulated to that chaotic state so
dolefully predicted for her about a
year ago, when the largest cotton crcp
in her history was apparently with
out a market, and when industria
markets seemed to be in a most des
perate condition.
It is interesting to note that prac
tically all financiers and captains of
industry give credit to our "conser
vation of resources," and the fact
that the south has practiced economy
of habit. These are regarded as the
primef actors that worked for the al
leviation of what was looked upon as
"the worst situation since 1893."
Asa G. Candler, president of the
Central Bank and Trust Corporation,
Atlanta, is quoted as saying: "While
it is now evident that the south's
cotton crop will be possibly the largest
per acre that she has made without
the use of more than half the amount
of fertilizer and other farm expense,
she will probably realize as much mon
ey from the 1914-15 crop as she did
from her largest cotton crop ever
gathered in 1913-14. Besides this,
the necessity for diversified farming
having been recognized at the begin
ning of the current year, her barns
are literally full of forest and food!
crops."
Frank Hawkins, president of the
Third National Bank, Atlanta, said
We have a splendid corn crop, and
the people have been economical, so I
consider that we are 100 per cent bet
ter oil today than we were a year ago.
In fact, if the people would live at
home and practise economy, this
would be the richest country under
the sun."
Robt. F. Maddox, vice-president of
the American National Bank, Atlan
ta, expressed himself in the same
vein, saying: "Since the European
war began, the south has learned two
valuable lessons: the first, economy;
and the second, diversification of
crops. The result has been that the
south is now able to liquidate her
debts and will have a surplus for in
vestment." A. P. Cowles, another well-known
Atlanta banker, sums it up in "the
people are paying their debts, and
live at home, and we are accumu
lating some surplus money."
"Through close economy and re
trenchment brought about by the war,"
continues Mr. Cowles, "the south has
put itself on a firm foundation for
gradual and permanent improvement,
which will be accelerated to a great
er extent when peace finally comes."
a raveling men out of Hickory state
that business is good "never was so

as ne started out after Thanksgiving
at home. It is fine to note, also, that
me saies manager of one of the
souths largest manufacturing con
cerns say3 that his company has al
loweu no let-up in its advertising
plans this year, and that it has not
taken ott one man from its sales force,
says: "during 1915 we have
worked the trade more assiduously
man any year in our 30 years of ex
istence. Our newspaper campaign has
Deen up to the level of previous years
and display advertising during the
past season has been used even more
liberally than any year of the past
vuuecuons in the south have been
oetter than in any other section.
During the past 60 days business in
the south and southwest has been
unusually satisfying in size as well as
frequency of orders. Trade condi
tions in the south are healthier than
in any other section."
CUTTING OUT BOOZE
There is no longer any-clover for
Gaston county booze-fghters, one
would judge from a cartoon in Tues
day's Gazette, showing the Clover, S.
C, situation as it was last Saturday
and as it is now. At that time
Judge Rice had not ruled that non
residents, under an old law, cannot
come into South Carolina and secure
liquor that had been shipped to them
there. Gaston county became totally
dry last April, under a special act ef
the North Carolina legislature, and! The North Carolina supreme court

court came to its relief.
Although we have not observed a
drunken man in Hickory, either during
the fair or circus, we are willing to
concede that some liquor is being sold
here, or else Chief Lentz would not be
gathering in the dealers on occasion.
It i3 difficult to catch tigers, but mort
difficult to convict them, for the

are a compulsory attendance law for
