Our business has been more prosperous
in the last three years than in the entire
previous history of the company. This is
true not only of Chicago. but elsewhere.
1t is chiefly due to two causes. Not only
has the telephone established itself as q
necessity to business and private inter
ests,- but 1t is also owing to the. pro-
nounced prosperity which has been gen.
eral throughout the country. As I said,
the growth Of the Chicago company in
these years has been equal to the entire
growth before that time. Personally I
believe that any material change in the
present policy of government would af-
feet all lines of business most disastrous

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Z What People Are Saying. Z


Candy is one Of the luxuries. When
times are hard and money scarce, we feel
it, I tell you we do. The last three or
four years show a vast increase in our
business. There has been improvement
each year over the preceding one, and
this year the prospects IRE that business
will be better than it has been for six
years. The general trade throughout the
United States in the last -four years has
increased fully so per cent. In some
cases it has doubled, the increase being
specially noticeable in large establish
ments. This business is essentially an in
dictator Of the moment. Supply equals
demand. We cannot store our goods
away in barns and warehouses and wait
for the market to rise or the trade to
come to US. Instead we are controlled
by the demands Of the hour. Take the
chocolate trade alone. Americans are
only now beginning to awaken to the nu-.
tritive and delightful qualities Of good
chocolate and chocolate candies. Euro
peans have been familiar with this for
years. During the past year or two our
trade in this line has increased by
bounds until to-day half of our custom
ers call for chocolates. I am a Demo
.crat, but am free to say that while con-
ditions exist as they do at the present
time, it would be wise to let we'll enough
alone and make no change.-C. f.. Gun
Their of Chicago, ex-Alderman, Democrat,
and candy manufacturer.

The, country at large, the Individual cor

Aulander Republicans Meet.
Especial to News and Observer.)

A,la lder, n. g, April 23.-The county
convention was called to order here last
Saturday night, by County Chairman
Frank A. Linney. Only half of the Eighth
district were represented, and there were
only twenty Republicans present, and
three fourths of this number were citi-
zens of the town. DR.. E. w. Moore was
made chairman and Dan A. Linney, secre
made chairman, and Dan A. Little, secre-
tary. Delegates were elected to the State
and Congressional Conventions. Con-
gresham Linneys course in Congress
was approved and the delegates to the
Congressional convention were instructed
for him. No instructions were given to
the State convention delegates. The con-
vention was very quiet and there was
little interest to be taken and there was
no speaking.
We predict that if Congressman Lin
ney should be the nominee of the Repub-
licans for Governor that little Alexander
county will show up a Democratic ma
iority for Hon. c.. b. Aycock for Governor
and the Amendment.

HOLDING TRACKS AGAINST THE FLOOD.
But Little Change in the Situation Heavy
Rains South of Maridian.
(By the Associated Press.)

Mobile Ala, April pa heroic fight is
going on at Scranton and Moss Point by
railroad and lumber men to save the
large property interests in that locality.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad
men, headed by General Manager Met
calf, are trying to hold the tracks against
the flood. The logs and drift wood COM
ing down on the flood have to be guided
between the bents of the trestle and
pushed away where they lodge. The
work of rebuilding the bridge at the
break will be rushed and temporary
bridge thrown across the gap made by
the loss of the spans of the bridge. If
nothing untoward happens the road ought
to be in working order by Friday. There
is great danger, however, that the Scran-
ton bridge, two miles east of the West
Pascagoula bridge may go. All depends
upon whether the big log boom at Moss
Point holds or not. There are 100000 logs
in that BOOM 1t extends nine miles up
stream and is five and six logs deep.
Tonight is the heaviest test. the water
running about twelve miles an hour and
in great volume. The flood is too violent
to permit use of transfer boats at night.
Consequently there was no night train
out of New Orleans. The situation at
