New York.-Wtih hardly an excep-

size up the business situation of the
country. Men who few months past
We're inclined to look at things
through somewhat darkened glasses
now are seeing clearer and in a more

From all the great industries news
comes of a better business at pres
ent, and an outlook for still further
improvement. Confidence has been a
distinctive improvement in these
lines, and it bears the mark of per-
manency.
While the textile industry has prob
ably suffered as much as any, with
this years enormous crop of cotton
and with the consequent sharp de-
clines In prices, the outlook in cotton
manufacturing has been measurably
improved.
Interest will, Of course, now CEN

that our Legislators will view this
phase of the situation in a more con-
sentative spirit. AS rule, a presi-

but it is believed thst fundamental
conditions are so som.7 that even
this bugaboo will not Seriously un-
dernine business confidence.
Much, of course, will depend upon
next years crops. 1t is satisfaction
to know that we have had ample
moisture where a deficiency existed
a year ago, so that there are rea-
sons to hope for a generous agricuI-
tural wealth.
After all, much depends upon SEN

IMPROVE SOUTHERN RIVERS

Money Asked for Work on Georgia
Florida and Alabama Streams.
Washington. -Four members of the
Georgia delegations, Messrs. Brant
ley, Bartlett, Hardwick and Hughes,
appeared before the rivers and har-
bors committee of the house in be-
half of a waterway project which
looks to the improvement Of $50
miles Of channel in the Oconee. Oc-
mulgee and Altamaha rivers at cost
of 100000.
The project has already been favor
ably reported, and it is claimed that
a depth of four feet of water can be
secured for the entire route. The dis
trict engineers wanted $155,000 for
work the first year, but the board
Of engineers cut this estimate to $40,,
900, and the Georgia representatives
are seeking to have congress give
at least $4,000 this year, and let that
be used for securing whatever in
creased depth is possible.
Representative Brantley also sought
to secure an appropriation for prof
ect in the Satilla river, which has al
ready been surveyed for 81 miles, as
far as Burnt Fort, and for an inside
waterway from Savannah, Ca, to Fer
nandina, Fla. He also asks an appro-
priation for the st. Marys river, in
Georgia and Florida, which has never
been improved.

Deeply fixed in tne thought of the
more well-to-day, is the belief that
anything like equality of opportunity
or condition would be incompatible
with their own enjoyment and with eff
f1ciency of work in the lower classes.
The dignity of self-sustained leader
ship on the one hand, and the spur Of
necessity on the other, seems to them
the only forces which can keep the
world moving. But this belief has
really no higher authority than that
of tradition and long-established Gus
tom. West Point, and in only a less
degree the service outside, demon
strates the impotence Of wealth or
privilege as necessary spur to en-
deavor. Equality Of opportunity, priv
ileges, and pecuntary rewards are
found to be in no sense incompatible
with individual initiative, with eff
cheney in work and with the general
happiness. No loss results-rather, the
reverse-from the absence of all ex-
traneous advantages, and from COM
polling every one to stand on his own
merit, performing the work for which
he is fitted, without any refeyence to
the pecuniary compensation which he
receives Atlantic.

MIAMI TO HAVE
AVIATION SCHOOL.
Merchants Association Discussed
Matter Thoroughly and Raised
the Required AmoGrrs-

Miami.-For some time there has
been reports that Miami would have
an aviation school, which would last
a good part Of the winter months. The
matter was taken up by the Mer-
chants Association, all level headed
business men, and they discussed the
matter carefully and concluded that
il a contract could be made with the
Curtiss Brothers at not too great ex-
pense to the people that it would be
a drawing card. e. G. Sewell, presi-
dent of the Merchants Association,
Julius Smith and Frank W. Wharton,
were appointed committee to take
the matter up and see If 1t was
thought best to raise the necessary
funds. The cost of the school will be
about S1,S00. This committee went
to work with will and soon had the
necessary funds In hand and con-
tract was made for the school. 1t
is stated that there will be two areo-
planes and one hydroplane used. The
hydroplane will have its headquarters
on the sand beach in front of the
Royal Palm hotel. The aeroplane
grounds will be ON the Braddock-
fran, "a little more than two miles
from the city, adjoining the Royal
Palm golf grounds, G.. G. Whitner, of
the Curtiss avoation staff has arrived
in this city with one aeroplane and
one hydroplane. 1t is stated that it
will take about ten days to get every
thing in readiness for the school to
open. Mr.. Whitner states that several
from the North have ( 'eady Joined
the school and that he exp is several
more to join soon. Mr.. Whitner has
been on the Curtiss staff since last
April. He has made successful ex-
hibitions in seventeen states He is
very enthusiastic over his Miami
engagement and he believes the out
look very promising. The largest
subscription received was $500 from
the Royal Palm, the rest of the SUBJ
running one to twenty-five
dollars. 1t is thought that this will
be a drawing card for this city dur
ing the winter as the school will be
in continuous operation for three
months.
