Under the above caption
the Manufacturers Record
publishes in it's number OF
August 18th, what may be
termed a front cover edl-
torial. 1t sings a song OF OPP
tinlism and does it we'll. 1t
instances the unprecedented
building of schools and
churches in the South now
going on. It lays stress on
the fact that many of the
churches are larger and
costlier than ever before,
with possibly one exception.
Churches costing a quarter
of a million are becoming al
everyday occurrence: Some
are planned that Will cos.
from a half-1nillion up, and
one will cost a million OF
more. Schools are being
erected at a rate never be-
fore seen in the South. All
this, says the Manufacturers
Record, despite the talk OF
pessimism and poverty. The
same spirit, it continues, can
be made to quicken the lie
Of all the business activities
Of the South.
The further assertion is
made that we have reached
the limit of low prices. THE
man who wants to build,
whether it be a chicken-coop
or a garage, a dwelling or
a hotel or an office struc-
ture, can, we believe, do it
to better advantage today
than a twelve month hence"
Although not always IN
accord with Mr.. Edmonds,
we are in hearty agreement
with his views as just given.
The indomitable southern
spirit is at work, preaching,

fects are beginning to be
visible and tangible. No sec
tion of the United States
will be more advantaged
