The Manufacturers Record of Oct

The Manufacturers Record of Oct
ober 3. says:
Looking over the entire South. it is
seen that here is a very decided im
provement taking place. and that this
section like the rest OF the country. is
rapidly recovering from the effect of
the prnic. The people Of the South
are taking hold of ;ndustriyl enter
prises with renewed vigor, while there
Is an increasing movement ofoutsIde
capital seeking investment in this
region. Manufacturing enterprises
are well employed, railroads are busy,
trade is increasing, collections are
getting easier, and all 'igns indicate
that the South as d whole is entering
upon a period OF much prosperity.
The list of new enterprises organized
continues to increase from week to
week, and summary of the leading
ones reported in this weeks issue of
the Manufacturers Record shows how
decided the improvement is
The summary, which does not in
clude all OF the enterprises in one
week. indicates how widespre d is
this increasing activity, and how
great is the diversity of the new enter
prises how being undertaken. 1t
gives some idea, moreover, of what
may be expected later on. after the
crops have been gathered and sod
and money becomes more active in
eeking investment.

One OF the INTELLl0ENcER's good
friends at Romney, this State, sends US
two advertising circulars issued by l. H.
o. Pancake, an enterprising merchant
Of that place, which serve to illustrate
the righteousness OF the ante,slection
cry Of the Democratic party about the
Mckinley bill and high prices. The
merchant, like many other business
men Of both parties throughout the
country, was quick to take advantage OF
the popular belief concerning the effects
OF the Mckinley bill, to sell his goods.
In doing this he was simply exercising
shreWd business sense.
The tlrst OF the circulars, issued before
election, bears date OF October 81. 1t Is
headed, "Higher Prices Inevitable"
This is followed by q number OF quota.
lions from Democratic newspapers, pre-
dieting that the passage Of the Mckinley
bill would result in higher prices. Be-
low these extracts 10 the announcement
that the advertiser has q large stock Of
merchandise which he will sell ct low
prices before the Mckinley bill goes
into effect. The second circular by the
same merchant, issued recently and
after the new tariff act has been in force
several months, announces with quite
Is much gusto that on February 10 he
will inaugurate a great sale at slaughter
prices. Prices undar the Mckinley bill
have not 'iuevitably riSen," but have
actually decreased. For instance, the
