the editorials OF the papers from
every part OF my State, a few Of

The Twin City Sentinel. OF Win
. ston-Salem, in its issue OF January 5.
: 1910, says:
, The local savings banks did a
rushing business to-day. The de-
posits were perhaps the largest in
, the history OF these institutions for
: one day. One OF the cashiers re-
: marked this afternoon that he would
: have TO content himself with two
: meals to-day, as the depositors had
5 not given him any showing to get
= dinner, and that at that hour IL ap-
2 peared supper would come at rath-
er late hour. The largest single
bank deposit reported was oyer s109-
900.
-, These things are evidence of pros
perity, and the adoption Of good reso-
r lutions on the part of the people to
@ save money and establish a bank &C
= count
r THE Twin City banks are strong
I and aggressive, and it is with pleas
D ure that the Sentinel notes these evil
v dences of confidence on the part OF
: the people and their faith in these
r institutions to aid them in becom-
! ing more substantial and successful
f citizens"
= In it's issue of April goth 1t says
"The South is starting off the new
4 year with splendid prospects along
= the industrial lines. Every few day!
g big enterprises of various kinds are
r announced"
can not help contrasting this con
dition under the Payne law will
what this same Democratic organ
said in its issue of October 8, 1898
o with the possibility of free trade IL
= view, which was as follows:
/ Gin the memory Of us all the yea
y 1898 will long be remembered.
is a year of disaster from the storm
Ii of loss Of life by accident, of muir
y der, thefts, lynchings. One Of 1T
u most remarkable aspects is the mum
L Der of business failures, computed
/ now at some twelve thousands with
), liabilities of s324,O87,76 The yea
u 1898 is peculiarly year of financia
IL disturbance"
To continue the story of the grea
:. prosperity with which we are nov
- blessed, in the Tradesman of Janu
- airy %, 1910, published in Chatta
