Such a Buzz of CONNER

Will the south, having been in
the saddle" several years, be satls-
fed to revert TO it's pre-war status
in industry and agriculture?
Judging from these reports gath
cred from all sections of the south,
Dixie will not revert to its old pre-
war status. Never before in the
history OF Dixie has there been sucn
a buzz of commercial, industrial and
agricultural ACTIVITY as now.
New industries are sprlnglng into
existence daily, old ones are enlarg-
ing their facilities; merchants are
increasing their stocks; banks have
more money imam ever before, and the
southern farmer, having learned his
lesson in diversified crop-raIsing TO
nslp win the war, will never again
revert TO the one product crop-cot-
ton-prOminent planters declare.
