MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

The man was right. Though L
boiled inwardly, my almost de-
throned reason put back in its seat
by the wise, timely act Of the man
behind me, said: "You would be
arrested, taken to police court,
and fined, and you would miss
your important engagement in
New York" / never forgot the
lesson.
Every day we give some things
much more attention than they
deserve and we give other things
much less attention than they de-
serve. We make too much ado over
one thing, and not enough ado
over another thing.
The trouble is we allow our
minds to become focused on de-
tails which are really trifling
while we ignore great principles
on which not only this existence
but future existence is founded.
We become excited over some
issue; we fret and fuss over it;
we know we are right. Perhaps
we are and perhaps We are not.
We lost our fight and we feel as
if the whole universe has gone to
pot, when as a matter of fact,
the entire affair does not matter
much one way or the other. We
merely thought it did.
II is right to stand for what we
think is right. Sometimes we have
to stand so firmly that our lives
are forfeited. But first we should
be sure we are right. Then we
should decide how far we should
go, how much is at stake, does it
really matter seriously one way OF
the other?
l have stewed night and day for
weeks over some governmental
question only to discover at the
showdown that the entire matter
was of little consequence; that
what l should have done was
quietly to have voted my convic-
tons and left the thing on the
knees of the gods, for there it
eventually landed, dropped thru
and out of sight.
Too much fatalism is bad, and
not enough is bad. There is a des-

THE BUSINESS ROAD IS CLEARED

II IS not necessary to enter into consld-
Grafton or discussion of the merits OF the
textile strike on either side OF that contro-
versy, in order to say that general business
conditions in the South will be greatly I'M
proved by the return Of the textile opera
tives to their jobs. The condition of the
operatives will be improved to the extent
of their earnings and large sums OF money,
which would otherwise be out of circula-
ton in the South, will flow into the chan
nels of trade. These statements are ap-
plicable to all sections of the country
where the textile industry is established,
but The Times-News, is thinking first of
conditions in the South
The damage done to business by the
strike was much more than the sum total
of loss of wages by the textile operatives
and loss of business by the cotton mills.
The strike created confusion, uncertainty
and stagnation in some degree throughout
the business structure. 1t was having some
effect on the price of cotton by depressing
the price, and if prolonged it would have
caused great loss to the cotton growers.
They will receive much larger returns for
the crop with the mills running than would
have been received with one half or a
fourth of the mills standing idle. 1t is true
that some of the mills were not operating
before the strike was called-no orders
for products being the cause of idleness-
and that condition probably will confront
some of the mills in the future-but, if
peace is maintained in this industry, and
all mills that can obtain the business nee
essary to keep the wheels turning, are in
operation through the Fall and Winter,
this condition will add greatly to the pros
perity of the South. This statement ap-
plies with particular force to the Carolinas,
where large majority of southern. mills
are located.
General industrial and business cond;-
tions in the South are not yet normal and
the promise of restoration of that happy
Estate is but little more certain than it has
. been for the past several years; but it is a
fact that the South is probably in, the
strongest position of any large geographic
cal area of the country from the stand.
point Of farm production, industrial and
trade conditions, with the textile industry
operating at fair production of capacity.
More business and more; satisfactory
conditions in business in the South is GER
