BUSINESS SKIES CLEARING UP;
ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS AHEAD

New York, Dec. 21-Additional
bankers, shippers and others in the
world of business have added their
optimistic views TO those heretofore
expressed that there is a successful
year in the forefront. Some set forth
the vast development in the war stu
alton as not only a hopeful indication
CT the present, but as n that will not
feel much restriction at the end of the
great conflict. Financiers are looking
to the end of the war with confidence.
The enormous demands for money
that will come to revive industries and
rebuild cities and towns will have its
good effect in this country, which will
be called upon as never before in its
history.
Manufacturers and their agents in
this city are happy over the increase
of orders. The great foreign demand
for foodstufs is now enabling the men
of the west to market their enormous
crops at good prices, and the exports
of wheat, flour, rye and oats from
July 1 to November, % have reached
enormous proportions. Bacons and

ARE We ALL CANDIDATES?

AS the school boy would say in a
composition, there are many different
kinds of. candidates. Yes, there are
very many. and they all, want to be
elected.
, There are citizens who are candi-
dates for Office, lawyers who are can
6idates for cases, doctors who are can
didates for patients. merehantszMh o
are candidates for trade, agents who
r candidates for orders, preachers
who are candidates for pulpits, poll
ticians who are candidates for pulls,
undertakers who are candidates for
corpses-in fact, an unending list.
And after the period Of candidacy
it is so often noticed that the candi-
dates become less eandied. The sugar
coating was not thick enough to stand
much weathering. Perhaps the strain
of being good for a season was too
trying, and a strong reaction sets in.
The fuel of affection was limited, the
flames have died down, and the can
didate has become cold. Poor fellow!
What an opportunity he has let slip!
What a. fine chance to keep on living
like a real man, with good, warm hui
man blood in his arteries!
All are candidates for something.
Let us be candidates for friends and
live always so that we may be sure Of
election.-Sylvan Valley News.

MI. Carlson purchased the local
street a company from Henderson
vile people and began operating the

was interested by Mr.. Carlson and he
is understood to have placed about
$4,000 in the enterprise, which soon
ceased so far as local operations were
concerned as the car has not run dur
ing the past twelve months.
AS a result of his experience, Dr.,
Fuller went before the grand jury and
two true bills were returned, charging
enlightenment and false ~pretense.
Governor Craig issued a requisition.
on Governor Fielder of New Jersey

Cd with him last week without any
difficulty.
Mr.. Carlson retained Smith & Ship
man as his attorneys and furnished a,
$4,000 bond for his appearance here in
March.
The following from the News & OBJ
server of last Wednesday is of inter-
est in this connections:

Marion, N. c., Dec. 22.-County COM
missioners of Mcdowell county, in

lpltshed under proper guidance.
Mcdowell county now a the place
! and the money, and the only thing
needed to equip the county wfthtfa
first-class1 farm demonstration is the
Anding of a. suitable man. The u
fyocommissfoners have been on a still
| hunt for a suitable man for some time,
but UP to the present time, have been
unable to locate one who would make
a suitable demonstration. i
It is understood that, in case the
commissioners Of Henderson county
decide to stand by their recent deci-
sion not to make an appropriation for
the purpose of keeping a farm demon
strator in Henderson county, n
thereby lose the services of Farm
Demonstration Perkins, the county
| commissioners will make an effort to
secure him as Mr.. Perkins work in
Henderson is largely responsible Tor

of money for a farm demonstrator ar

learned here, no negotiations have been
cpened with Mr.. Perkins as yet the
| Mcdowell commissioners prefer1ng TO
wait until the Henderson county com.
missioners have had an opportunity
to rescind their recent action, and Il
| this is not done, it is probaDIe tnaI

in some instances, under the direction
Of Mr.. Perkins, and that the soil or
Mcdowell county is just as fertile as
that of Henderson. They feel that the
increase in farm products will more
than compensate for the expenditure
Voting money for a farm demonstra-
tor is one of the most popular moves
ever made by a Mcdowell board OF
county commissioners, and on all
hands can be heard praise of the men
who ventured to take this forward
step.
