Another Week of Progress

COLUMBUS, April 1.-The Indus
trial Index says in it's issue for this
week:
THE Southeast enters the second
quarter 1915 with greater Construc-
ton and industrial activity aud bright
err prospects than it has had for a
year. Despite the depression that has
existed and seemingly slow, though
steady, return to normal conditions,
more construction work Of conse-
quence is in progress and definitely
planned now and there is more activity
in the organization and establishment
of industrial enterprises than was the
case last Spring.
The large percentage of construc-
tion and industrial undertakings
which involve comparatively large eX-
penditures and investments is notable
and illustrative. The substantial num-
Der of contracts which are being
awarded is another feature that DEM
onstrates the actual conditions.
The first quarter witnessed steady
resumption and improvement generally
in the Southeast and the second quar-
ter gives promise of even much better
things.
"Twenty-one corporations were or
ganized during the week, with mini
mum capital stocks agregating 50,

One hundred and sixty-three new
voters registered in the fifth district
at the recent supplemental registra'
ton for the special election for JUS
tice Of the peace on Oct. %, Only
twenty of these registered at Glen

ka. The total registration for the dis
trict is 49S which is regarded as
pretty full registration. At Glendale
the total registration of 129 is light
but at Culleoka a registration OF 369
is above the normal. This is doubt
less explained by the fact that botD
of the candidates for justice Of the

One of Columbia's big financial in
stitutions, the Maury National Bank,
subscribed and obtained 100000 of the
Anglo-French loan on a half billion
dollars successfully t1oated in this
country. This bank joined the under.
writer's syndicate which obtained
these gilt edge securities at 9612 max.
ing theme one of the best and most
profitable investments ever obtained
by bank in this country.
1t speaks volumes not only for the
progressive attitude of the Maury Ma
tional Bank, but for the condition Of
finances in Maury county that this
bank could make this large subscrip-
ton. 1t is advertising money to loan
all the time, having an abundance of
funds with which to meet every pos.
sible demand for capital in the coun.
ty. The fact that there is an abun.
dance of money in the vaults shows
the splendid condition of business in
the 'Dimple of the Universe"
Every cent of the amount paid for
the Anglo-French obligations will re.
main in the United States 1t will
all be turned loose among the mer.
chants and farmers and manufactur.
ers of the country. The funds sub
scribed by the Maury National Bank
for example will remain on deposit in
that bank until needed by the syn
dicate and 1t is altogether probable
that they will continue on deposit
here until they are actually expend.
ed by the English and French pur-
chasing agents for the products Of
this section, mules, horses, cotton
and manufactures.
The successful fotation of this loan
in America, in the opinion of Cashier
Jos. F. Brownlow, of the Maury Ma.
tional Bank, will mean much for the
prosperity of the people. 1t simply
makes a market for a half billion
more of our products. 1t is out Of the

The citrus fruit crop this season
will be later than usual as the fruit
has been little slower in coming to
maturity and the right color. The
crop is a good one and will run to the
larger sizes The reports from grow
ers and shippers in different sections
of the state are very fatter-
ing as to quality. This no doubt is
the result of better kept groves and
almost the complete eradication of
the white fly. There have been show
ers during September and the cool
nights will materially help to bring
the fruit to maturity.
