week earlier than the first one

The fisticuff between Finley
and Stevenson, candidates for
the national House of Represen-
tatlves, on Tuesday night of last
week occurred too late for
comment in this column
and 1t is probably a bit late to
talk about it now. However we
feel 1t a duty to say that the good
people OF Pageland do not ap-
prove of such rude and unbe-
coming methods of appeasing
the anger or jealousy of aspiring
members of the race. Times
have changed, and the people
no longer applaud prize fighters

threats incident thereto are M
longer considered evidences Of
bravery, but are rather to he

Business Prospects.

The reports on the business
situation all over this country,
carry an unmistakable message
of good cheer. The statements
of the bankers, manufacturers
and merchants are not academic
or theoretical. The truth is not
evaded or CLOSED over. There
has been depression in many
branches of trade. But in these
statements of the views and
experiences of the business men
of all sections there is evidence
of an obvious and justifiable
feeling of confidence IN the
future. The idea that we have
reached the turning point is not
founded on personal optimism,
and is shared by nearly all even
by those who have feft most
strongly the recent trade depres-
sion.
Of course, the abundant crops
have much to do with this hope
full outlook, but not all. Trade
is already better in branches
which have suffered least, and is
picking up in others. The con-
dition of the steel trade, in which
the signs are now encouraging,
is assuredly a better index of
economic conditions than that
of the motor car trade, which is
veritably booming. The facts
sst} fGstnsin these. we'll. filed
columns are 1ndiSputable. The
opinions are sound and unpreiu.
diced. The result does not iustify
over-enthusiasm, There are diff.
flculties yet to be encountered
General prosperity has not vet
set in, but there is no doubt that
the worst has been passed and
the good times are coming.
