who presided at the savings confer
ence here last Spring, said today at
Houston:
Credit ease and the improved po-
sition of the farmer are favorable fac
tors that are likely to cause an in
crease in general business activity as
the season advances and will help
sustain the great national prosperity
prevailing for several years"
John r. Downing, president clear

said: Probably for the first time since
1920 agriculture is catching step with
industry. IL this pace can be main

Robert f.. Maddox of Atlanta said
The general business outlook in the
southeast is very encouraging. While
our industrial growth has been rapid,
cotton still plays an important part in
our commercial activities and al
though the crop is much smaller tha

Calls Business Satisfactory.

President NJ. A. Traylor of the
American Bankers Association pre-
scented his views of business condi-
tions TO the convention today. He said
"On the whole business has been
satisfactory this year. This is true
even though the upward trend Of
the last two years has not continued.
In some important lines of industry
recessions have taken place and profits
generally have been lower even where
the volume of business has not de-
clined. 1t is a fortunate fact that
such recession as has developed has
affected lines best prepared to sustain
it by a prolonged period of prosper
ity, namely industry and commerce
rather than agriculture.
Money has continued easy and
there is no evidence that this will
change in the immediate future. An
ample supply of investible funds due
in part. at least, to d slackening in
Hlsiness activity coupled with a de.
cline of commodity prices has resulted
in marked rise in the prices OF
stocks and bonds''

1924 AMATEUR
MATCH CLOSE,
KELLER SAYS
Tells of Furious Battle Be-
tween GOlfing Aces: Won
Elm and Mackenzie
By O. B. KELLER
OF The Associated Presa


New York, July 15.-Consider it as
an abstract proposition, now.
George Won Elm, ranked as one of
the finest atch-players Of the world.
and making bid in the national
amateur championship of 1924 at
Merton. is 8 up on his first-round
opponent after the third hole of the
afternoon round. Eight up, and Is
to play. What is the chance that the
opponent will square the match and
carry it past the thirty-sixth?
Well, not much of a chance. You
might say one in thousand. You
might say anything. Put yourself in
the opponents place, against George
Won. Elm. You are down and Is
to-play. In national championship.
Is Story Of Mackenzie
But this is a little story of Roland
Mackenzie Of Washington; the tall
young pupil of Freddie Mcleod, who
was, as | recall II years old at
Merton when he met Won Elm in the
first round, and the Pacific Coast
star, now national.~champion, was
making his first great bid for the
title. Won Elm, playing alright
golf, was Z up at the end of the
morning round. In the afternoon
round Roland started by winning the
first hole with a par 4, George
promptly retaliating with a birdie
4 at the 523-yard second hole He
won that, and Roland missed the
third grAen, one-shotter, and
Georges par put him up, and Is
to play
Up at Turn
At the turn, Won Elm was 4 up,
having dropped the fourth, fifth
sixth and seventh holes in giddy sue
cession. George now was fighting
desperately to regain command. He
got back hole at the eighth. where
Roland slipped, but an 8-foOt putt
for deuce at the ninth left Roland
with half his deficit accounted for
and George was struggling now ia
grip his game once more.

ing history. One down and one to
