OUTLOOK GOOD IN SOUTH.
SAYS RAILROAD HEAD
Fairfax Harrison Pleased With
Conditions in His Territory.
MILL REPORTS ARE GOOD.
manufacturers in Most Lines Have
Demand For ProduCts-Run
on Full Time.

washington, Dec. l3.-FaIrfax
Harrison, the new president of the
southern Railway Company, speaking
today OF the business outlook In the
South, said:
conditions throughout the terri
tory traversed by Southern Railway
lines are generally favorable. The
farmers OF the Southeast, except in
restricted localities where they suf-
1ered from drouth, have had a highly
prosperous year. The ginning re-
ports OF the United States census bu-
reau indicate that the cotton crop of
the states east Of the Mississippi
river will exceed that of last year. and
current prices are above those of n
year ago.
While the estimate of the total
corn crop of the United States. recent
ly issued by the United States DEPART
ment OF agriculture, shows a falling
on, compared with last year, OF 661.
I29,OOO bushels, the crop in the nine
southeastern states traverSed by the
southern Railway is within 21.0O0.-
OOO bushels as large as last year, the
only Southeastern states showing de-
creased yields on account of the
drouth being Kentucky and Tennes-
see.
Other crops, including forage,
nave turned out we'll, and, taking the
territory as a whole, / doubt whether
the farmers of the Southeast have
ever had a more favorable year
Largely growing out of the pros
porous condition Of the farmers,
wholesale and retail trade through
out the Southeast is generally in good
condition.
Manufacturers in most lines are
enjoying a good demand for their
products and their Establishments
are running on full time, though
some slackening of production is to
be expected during the holiday sea-
son. The reports OF cotton mill and
knitting mill development are par
ticularly noteworthy"

years ago Mathilde was brought to

by her beauty lifted her into a cab

Italian woman, who nursed her back

c., niece of President Wilson. in
an important part, in Montreal rather
than New York, where il has been in
rehearsal this fall, has surprised
theatregoers. Since Mrs Howe is
said to have gone on the stage with
the good wishes of the President, II
seemed that she might have induced
him to attend the first performance
had the premier been in a city near
Washington. Yet the producer
now unknown, decided to bring the
company all the way to Canada for
it's initial production.
This is all the more surprising be-
cause Mrs. Howe, who, by the way.
plays under the stage name of Mar
garet Vale, was guest at the recent
wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson and
Francis B. Sayre. In fact, she had
to stop rehearsals for two days to
give her time to attend the wedding.
Mrs. Howe played small part with
Nine. Navimova last year, and she
made good. Then she used her own
name. This year when she began she
sought an engagement with Mr.. Tully
under the name of Margaret Vale.
Mr.. Tully says he knew nothing of
her relation to the President until
she asked permission when rehearsals
were at their height 10 go to Wash
ington for the wedding. She had to
tell him.
Had the President attended a per-
formance of the play in New York
Philadelphia, or Baltimore, where it
might have been produced, as we'll as
in Canada, it would have been a tre-
mendous advertisement. However, 1t
has been suggested that Mr.. Tully
wanted to be quite sure his new play
er could make good before he risked
her appearance before a crowd that
would follow the President.

Thirty Bales of Seed Cotton Burned.

Sunday, about midnight, the cotton
house of Mr.. Seaborn n. Stack of the
Tabernacle section, was destroyed by
fire with 80 bales of cotton in the
seed. Early Monday morning Sheriff

phone to go down and make an in

Immediately and w1s soon on the
scene of the fire, but no positive in

The sheriff found tracks leading to

no clue as to whether the fire was
of incendiary origin.
This is great blow to Mr.. Stack,
who is one of the most progressive
farmers in the county. The loss is
total as he had no insurance. 1t was
Mr. Stacks custom to save the bulk
of his cotton in the seed until after

among the effects OF Vincenzo Pc

air schoolhouses. If t b t other
counties would follow the example
set bv Kauai, there would not be
the complaint there now is that
there is not enough room in the
schools for all the pupils.
There would also be q great i'm
provement in the h al h Of
the children. When ! was in

at the International Congress on
Hygiene and Demography. ] was
told by health officials from Balti-

use of open air schools, the menta-
lity of backward children had been
increased forty per cent.
1t is my hope that here in the

with the construction of school

hight and ventilation than they
have in the past.
