 Though they are barometer for all
 economics, but it applies to every line

 ham Friday, making a tour of the

It will take time to reach that point, and while the improve |ment is gradual, it Is sure. This is largely due to the cotton land lumber industries, which play d |great part in the south's business sit- |uation, and it is my prediction that within a short time now everything Twill be on a firm foundation, and prosperity and good business condi- |tions will exist"
 MT. Stanfiel expressed his pleasure lat being in Birmingham again, where he formerly lived, and has a large humber of friends. He spoke espe- |ciaIly of Birmingham's improvement lin commercial circles.
