ALL BUSINESS IN
SOUTH PROSPECTING
Presidents Of Leading Rail-
roads Attest to Encouraging
Signs in Every Industry.
ALL MILLS ARE RUNNING

Richard I. Edmonds. editor OF the
Nanufoct Record. In discussing
Yesterday the Improvement In business
conditions generally throughout the
South believes that not since the re-
covery from the panic OF 1907 has the
situation in that section OF the coun-
try been so promising. Mr.. Edmonds
said that he had received letters from
the presidents OF nearly all the lead
ing railroads Of the South reporting a
decided change for the better In bus
mess and that they saw evidences Of a
continued expansion.
During the las, eight years We have
had no period Of broad general pros
perity in this country" said Mr.. Ed
monds. I'VE have had brief spurts in
some particular lines OF industry and
We had Ave or six years OF exception
ally good conditions In the production
and price OF cotton. but in all this
period there has been n lack OF enthu-
siasm and snap. Railroads were feel
Ing the effect OF the hampering ~restric-
tion against capital and corporations
and therefore could 10 but little inn
provement or extension work. New
railroads We're scarcely to he thought OF.
Tn all that long period the ron and
steel industry Of the South was mora
or less depressed. The dulnsss In rail-
O construction work hrouen n about

Der. one OF the South's largest indus
tries. While cotton was high during
- 49, 49,, 49, -
ton goods were for most of the period
low In price and cotton mills were run
without much profit except in rare
casas.
N one to-day can PICK up a Southern
paper anywhere from Maryland out to
Texas and Oklahoma without catching
the note OF optimism wh,ch IL being
struck by everybody in every direction.

"Cotton mills are fully employed. and
there are more signs OF activity
