DURING THE PAST WEEK.

Columbus, Ga, Jan. 9-The Indus
trial Index says in its issue for this
week:
The total OF the 1918 bank clear
ances exceed by $6,911,60S the amount
for 1912, the total for 1918 in these
six cities having been 1855, 211T61.
In one city OF the southeast the
1913 building permit valuation amount
ed to S6,429, 537, an increase of S2,616,-
45s as compared with the amount for
1912 although 1912 had broke all rec
ords.
These figures are the more notable
for the reason that 1912 was a good
year in the southeast.
These are but a few Of the figures.
representing actual money transactions
which demonstrate the prosperity Of
the southeast. More, they demonstrate,
progress as well as property, for in
nearly every city bank clearings, post
office receipts and other statistics
which reflect business volume show
increases and nearly every city new
high records were made in these mat
terS.
There can be no going behind these
figures and what they demonstrate.
Rich resources, the development OF
which has just been begun. with in
creasing numbers OF manufacturing
plants. with growing population, with
larger yields OF farms ana orchards
and of mines, with the Harvesting OF
waterpowers and with the upbuilding
of cities and towns. The southeast
undoubtedly has entered upon the
greatest era in its history.
