President Finley, of the Southern
Railway, thinks that conditions for an
early revival of business in the South
are favorable. He thinks that the
general depression has been due not
so much to lack of either money or
material interests but to the uncertainty
cast over everything by the legislative
acts of States and Congress. People
not knowing what to expect naturally
were shy of investments. The con-
struction of a healthy sentiment is the
one thing needed, and every touch of
the courts, legislatures or Congress
goes to hinder this growth of healthy
sentiment.

seems unhurt.
About Portsmouth the freeze is stated
to have been quite damaging. Ice an
eighth of inch formed. Reports from
the truck fields were to the effect that
the earlier. varieties Of strawberries
were in full bloom, and the greater part
of these have been killed. By no means
all the truckers had beans so far adj

those who had will have to replant.
There are some potatoes up, also, and
these were nipped, but the general effect
will not be widely felt.
