South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-04-17

Turpentine operators are getting
ready to begin business, sawmills all
over the country are getting up steam.
farmers are planting larger and more
diversified crops, railroads are start
ing to improve their properties, and
as a result of all this things in gen
eral look better, and signs of bust
ness activity are seen upon every
hand.
The Calhoun Manufacturing Co,
one of the largest sawmills in this
section located at Beach in this coun-
ty, blew its whistle this morning for
the first time in several months, and
began saving lumber upon nice
number of contracts. G. q. Parker
of this city has purchased a AZ crop
turpentine place in Florida and will
begin working same at once. A
farmer from near Manor, this county.
told us that he expects to use more
fertilizer this year than at any time
in the past but that he will not plant
a single acre of cotton this year.
All these things point in most
positive way to prosperity, and makes
it safe to predict that when the first
of January, 1916, arrives the people
of South Georgia will have more real
money, and be in better financial con-
dition than they have for many years.

years. There seems to be a bright
future as the retrenchment policy has
created a vast amount of repairs. The
Garrett shops are also handling a
large amount Of work sent there from

Pres't Wilson contends that the
country is in a prosperous condition
Notwithstanding the governments
cash fund is at the danger line, the
outgO exceeding the income and con-
gress bothered about raising sufficient
revenue from a nation already taxed
TO the limit-and no immediate re-
lief in sight
Caldwell county is probably no eX
ception to the general rule through
out the country-there is no reason
why it should be-and this being the
case. the bank figures refute Prest
Wilson's statement and show Won
derful falling off in deposits by the
people.
The statements of the Is banks Of
this country for a corresponding pc
riod of last year showed the people
of Caldwell county had deposits ag-
gregating $2,02S,1S1.SS: this year the
same banks show deposits aggregat-
S115,0O5.71 for the county.
II every county through the ma
ton shows a decrease so little as half
as much. the depression should be
sufficient TO convince even the pres
