SOUTH FACES VERY
OPTIMISTIC FUTURE
Crops and Building Conditions Were
Never More Flourishing in
Southern States.
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.

Washington, ID. G., Sept. 24.-Fhe
most optimistic outlook is ahead of the
people of the South according to a re-
port which was issued today by the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States. Crops are abundant to supply
all demands, this report points out,
and there need be no worry of a pos
sible famine.
THE South will produce more sugar
cane and rice than last year" this
survey says, "and plenty of grain and
forage. There is much fruit and an
endless amount of vegetables. The
traveller through Southern States sees
flocks and herds and fields Of growing
grain in sections that a generation ago
knew only one crop ideas and methods.
Turpentine and naval stores and phos-
phate mining are doing much better
now that the war is over and the
avenue of export trade reopened. The
lumber business would be better II
only cars could be supplied"
The report then goes on to say that
building construction in the South is
practically the same as in other parts
of the country.

PATRONS BOOST
SCHOOL PROJECT
Enthusiastic Reception rendered
County Board At Berca-Purse
Strings Loose

The unusual experience of hav-
ing committee all ready for the
purpose Of raicing funds, and a
large number Of residents Of the
count yinsisting upon giving for
school purposes in a voluntary
manner, was that of the members
of the Madison county school
board Tuesday when they, to-
gether with county superintend-
ent Edwards, reached Berea.
They were met by committee
and rendered enthusiastic recep-
ton. The college officials and
the board in general compliment
ed the county board upon the
matter Of establishing an eight or
nine months school term. They
then presented the matter of con-
solidating the Narrow Gap and
Pilot Knob schools and stated
they were willing to finance a
part of the proposition and would
donate grounds for the expert
mental farm, as we'll as give a
portion Of the fund for the es-
tablishment of necessary build
ings. This insures the compile
ton of the plans and the project,
one of the first of it's kind in the
state to be established and oper-
lated independently and the near
future will record the furthering
iof the plans which may undergo
a change, since the generous as
sistance has been pledged. This
came throught the residents OF
he nearby districts. One of the
members Of the board, Mr.. Mob
erly, said that the future surely
looked bright, since the patrons
insisted upon paying for the inn
provements as outlined by the
board and even ON a salore exten-
sive #scale!hf' Superintendent Ed
wartls said Wednesday that he
was greatly pleased with pre-
spects and corporation upon the
part of SO many of the patrons
as we'll as residents of the dis
Itricts, where the improvements
are to be made.

HAVE
PLENTY OF MONEY

There are large number in the
Madison county jail VINO will soon be
set at liberty, since most of them,
convicted during the recent session of
the United States court, are prepar-
ing to pay the fine assessed. This
ranges from $100 to $500, and the
sentences are chiefly for a period of
80 days, although there are a few of
60 days duration, while two are for
a period Of six months
Attorneys in the city are comment
ing upon the fact that almost every
man serving time in the county Jail,
is doing SO because they cannot avoid
it-a logical conclusion, however,
heretofore, the lack OF money with
which to pay fines has caused many
to languish behind the bars for a con-
siderable period. It develops that
this will not be the case with the ag-
gregation doing time at present, since
all seem to be well supplied with
money, and are putting in the requir-
ed time at present, since all seemed
to well supplied with money, and are
putting in required time because Of
their inability to buy their way out.
Several of the men incarcerated have
several hundred dollars in their pock-
cts and two Of them asserted that
they would remain in jail before they
will pay the fines assessed.
Almost every one serving sentence
allotted to them admit that they do not
mind the fine, saying chat is easy.
but when the Jail sentence is tackled on
they can but go to jail.
This does not indicate that the leni-
rcnce shown first offenders by Judge
Cochran being repeated in the future
shouldany of them be brought before
him again on similar charges, for he
issued warning before the close Of
the term stating that he was disposed
to give most of them chance, several
pleading ignorance of the law.
