WHY COMER IS THANKFUL %zes Desire to Return to Sane Meth- ods and Usages. Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 22.—“In- fane commercialism and reliance on the power of wealth has received a check,” says Governor Comer in his Thanksgiving proclamation. “There 15 less evidence of thoughtless and re- morseless combinations made for the purpose of undue gain,” he contines. He finds that there is a desire to re- turn to sane methods and meritorious usages, which, “though countrified in name, like the salt put in the spring of Jericho by Eliza to heal and cure the waters, from the beginning of time has led to happy and successful accomplishments.” After praying for the “passage of this financial brain storm, creating a dementia of business,” the governor concludes: “While some stagnant water will be left the country is now being inocu- lated with the old time methods of prudence, care, honesty and fair deal- ing which will result in clearing and curing the situation.” MARKET QUOTATIONS.
