In an article printed in the Manu- facturers’ Record, Editor Richard | Edmonds has the folowing to say of the outlook for prosperity in the south: A two months’ swing around the circle in the south makes one feel that what has been counted as op- timism in regard to this section is really but rank pessimism, so far above all that the Manufacturers’ Record has claimed is the broad, sweeping development that is taking place not only in the villages and the {tewns and the cities of the south, but in every phase of its agricultural vork, and still more strikingly in tiie movement of men and money of Europe and America now focussing on the south. Not unti] one travels |over a wide sweep of territory can the quite grasp the whole panorama lllun. is being unfolded in southern development. The little towns, scarcely known of fifty miles away from home, are proportionately doing about as much a» the big places. They are alert, energetie, full of enthusiasm, build- ing sidewalks and streets and im- proving the country roads, putting up finer residences, building schools and churches, and giving every evi- | denco of increasing prosperity. Aund speaking of churches, there is probably no more striking evidence of increasing wealth to be found than the remarkable activity in the church building throughout the south. Not only are churches being crected with an activity that is some- what astonishing, but these build- ings are in many cases of the mest superb architecture and costly degree that is the highest evidence of an cnormous expansion in wealih, and of a willinguness to spend that wealth for the betterment of man- kind. The whole south is develop- ing a church architecturo which promises to make it unique in the world for the beanty and adaptabil- ity of these chureh edifices, I And while the village and the .illllllll‘)' town are prowing as are the big cities, equally strong evidenee southern prog wher ever one familiar with the agrical- tural interests of the south looks from a car window and contrasts present conditions with the situation even five years ago. In every direc- tion there are seen more and better tarmhouses, better painted homes, better outbuildings, and a thorough- ness of cultivation which speaks vol- umes for the advancement made dur- ing the last few years in farming methods. In this full-rounded growth the in- creasing prosperity of the farmer, the cularged demand for agricultural land, the doubling and in many cases the quadrupling, of farm land val- ues, the growth of villages and of towns and cities, the broader spirit of municipal improvements, the enormous expenditures that are be- ing made for church and schocl | buildings, the skyscrapers, the great Lotels, the advancing industrial ac- tivities -in all these there is a sure | evidence of a broader and mors gen- cral progress throughout the souti than that section has known sinen 1860, In times past we have had jsome years of great industriai ac- tivity cven though agriculture was depressed by low prices. In other times we have had a stimulation to farm interests by temporary high prices for cotton coincident with de- pression in financial or industrial af- fairs of the nation. Here and there ‘ill'“\'illlm' towns and cities have farown, sometimes at the expense of Lother places and of the conntry dis- | tricts. But never before Tast half century has there an advance movement n to higher perity includes the farmer, chant, the manufacturer, er, and, in fact, the countryman and the city man alike.
