The Return of Prosperity. It is stated that the Southern Railway has perfected a plan of raising $15,000000, and of this sum $12,000,000 will be devoted to the completion of its interrupted improvements. Of course all that money will be expended iu the South and it will be used for the development of the facilities of transportation in the South and the furthering of business. It looks as if the Southern Railway is not so frightened at the atti tude of the States of the South as it pretended to be and that the policy of those States in insisting on the rights of the people against the special privileges claimed by I the railroads has not done the j railroad the injury it claimed would result, j But the most important consid j eration of the whole matter is the evidence of returning prosperity II and activity in business given by ! this announcement of the South ' em Railway's purpose to carry through the improvements it was i forced to abandon about a year I ago because of the difficulty of raising money. The conditions j in the financial and the business , world are improving inateriilly, end there is no reason why the old prosperity should not be with us ag*in in a few months dftor the fitful fever of the Presidential campaign. -Charleston Post. 1 Mioses Nellie Joyce, Jessie „ Pepper, Sadie Petree, Blanche il Pepper, Virgie Martin and Ray i) nor Joyce spent Monday after noon visiting the Misses Allen 'J 1 at Piedmont Springs. j It is gratifying to know that the prospect for excellent crops throughout the county is unusu ally good.
