THE oPTIMISTS' INNING.

T' HE thing which the people of the country without
regard to party or to class are more interested IN
than anything else at present is the disappearance
of the vague and unfounded uneasiness concerning
the business situation which has somehow cOnrived to
pet itself into the general thoughtcirculation.
This mcrobe of depression is largely manufactured Tor
distinct effect on the public mind either by politicians who
wish to make capital out Of it for party purposes or by
business interests which resent any interference with
their tremendous profits and it has had an influence
wholly out of proportion to its real character 1t is art
cia in most respects and grossly exaggerated in Others
and the reassuring tone of leaders in industry and COM
merce throughout the country has served to dsspae very
largely any gloom that existed before the recent visit OF
the business protestants to Washington
The so-caled wave of depression has reached high
water mark and is now evidently recedng, and all that
remains is the slight nervousness and unrest that follow
brainstoms of this sort Every day takes us closer to
the complete restoration of confidence and to general
revival of energy and enterprise
The wonderful crop yield that is indicated comes as
strange and encouraging coincidence just at this time
1t almost as if the heart of nature and the mind of
had been working in harmony to effect joint purpose.
Precisely at the time when nature is preparing to lay
at our feet one of the finest and most splendid offerings
she has ever made u.s. meet her in the fields with our
currency delivery wagons ready to distribute her
bounty to every part Of the country.
When untrammeled nature and an untrammeed finan-
cia system thus get into partnership and start working
together it may be hard to the clouds for the rain
bows and difficult to hear the feeble voice of the croakers
for the general chorus of optimism.

obliged to seek relief two or three

The Salem Bridge

The moon rose DER the city, the it ever had DONE
And like the waters rushing beside the concrete pier
The people of Salem passed me- each filled to the glS

How often Oh how often in the days that are to come,
stand the bridge at midnight and list to the autos
hum.
How long, Oh Lord how long will this town stay on the
blink
And force me to stand on that bridge and whistle and
wait for drink?
How often Oh how often will for freedom quver
And long for Independence the east side of the river?
For my tongue was hot and parched and my life was
far from gay,
And the taxes laid upon me seemed greater than could
pay.
All the joy has gone to Dallas or is buried in the sea-
And only the bottles of others bring the sunshine unto
All those who the river the bridge with the
crete pier
Are fresh the wind from the and light as the
foam on beer.
Will last forever and ever long the river flows?
Must they journey to Independence to forget their
and woes?
The moon with it's broken reflection and it's shadows
along the ridge
Is symbol of proh Salem and it's staggering wavering
bridge.
If Longfelow would only come back and see what fix
we're in,
The bridge would groan at midnight as he came home

There have been times when Grady

attention. But owing to its over

be done, patients coming in had to

CARTERFIGHT ON
TURNERPUT Up
To BOARD
Row Due to Electricians Position
That Contractor Must Stand
Another Examination.

The city Board of Electrical Con-
troll will meet at O'Clock Monday
afternoon to consider the complaint
of R. G. Carter against City Electri-
clan r. c. Turner charging that the
latter refused to approve of Carriers
work, despite the fact that he had
been granted a license by the City
Clerks department
on the other hand Turner claims
that Carter will have to stand an
other electrical examination before he
will be eligible to do contracting
work in Atlanta.
Garter claims he stood one sue
cessful examination However, he
left the city afterward and remained
away for some little time. In such a
case, the city code requires an appli-
cant for a license to stand another
examination
According to Carriers statement
Turner Is opposing him because Of
his activity in organizing an electri-
cal union some years ago. He as
serts that as a result of the union the
contractors were forced to increase
the wages of the men, ana that the
fight between himself and the city
electrician has been brought about by
the influence of the contractors
