FLORIDA HAS SET THE PACE, i
Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of
The Manufacturers Record, writing
from h : s winter home in Florida on
“Some Aspects of the Florida Situa- (
tion and Its Relation to fS* South." '
sees good in the recession from "the
hectic conditions which prevailed last
summer,” and believes that the big i
development in that State sets the
puce for the whole South, and that it
has stimulated the South as to its own
possibilities. He says:
I would.. however, I think, be false
to the position of The Manufacturers
Record if 1 did not reiterate the faith
which is strong in me that the Flori
da movement is merely the beginning
of a broad, wide development of the
whole South, the greatest which any
section of America lias ever seen.
Many years ago the late Judge Kelly,
then known as the “Fattier of the
House of Representatives.” visioning
that which we are now seeing, stated
that the mighty plant of capital and
energy which had developed the West
was now available for the development
• of the South, and that nowhere else on
earth could he found resources so vast
and an opportunity so great for tile
utilization of this plant for construct
ive, upbuilding work. That plant,
composed of bra’n and brawn, capi
tal and energy, of machinery of every
kind, is now being transferred almost
bodily to the South. The spirit of
Ameriea has awakened to what the de
velopment of the South will mean in
giving boundless opportunities to oth
ers and in creating Out of this vast
natural asset greater wealth than Am-
I erica has ever known.
f Comment’ng on Mr. Edmonds' let
ter, the Raleigh News and Observer
admits iliat "Florida holds supremacy
for those who wish to bask in warm
sunshine in the three coldest months
of the year," and that “this State can
not rival it in producing oranges and
grapefruit,” but finds that “North
Carolina has felt the stimulus of the
growing interest in the South, and
next to Flordu. attracted more atten
j tion to investors and visitors than any
other American State. This State has
*;. outdistanced all rivals in the increase
». of its manufactured and agricultural
'products. It is second only to Flor
ida as a winter resort and first as a
jL biimmer resort State. As on aU-the
fe- year-round resort State it is just com-
X ing 'nto its own.”

the Florida boom is over. People here

WILL COOLID6E DARE RUN
AGAIN?
Washington is already talking about
a change in Congress after the fall ’
election. It is generally agreed that i
the Republicans cannot keep their j
present majority even if the Demo
crats fail to get one. The insurgents
in the west are expected to make gains
while the Democrats are showing gains
in at least four States—Maryland,
Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma.
These States usually belong to the I
Democrats and they were lost to the
party in the Harding landslide.
The most important phase of the
election is the effect it will have on
President Coolidge. If the Republi
cans show much strength in the elec
tion he will be the candidate for his
party in 1928. If his party loses heav
ily in the election, which seems prob
able now, he will hardly dare make
the race. The President really has
been able to do but little with Con
gress despite the fact that he has been
given a big working majority. That's
the reason the election means so much
to him. He has no alibi. The
strength is with him in Congress if
he onn just keep it.
The Democrats enter the election
with confidence. They are cert a n to
hold what they have, with chances for
victory in other States. The x insurg
ents are as stroug as ever and it is
freely predicted that some western
States will send to the Senate in the
fall some men who will line up with
the insurgents to take the place of men
now considered regular.
Wall Street rocked last week when
there was the biggest slump in two
years on the Stock Exchange, yet the
country as a whole paid no attention
to it. That shows that our finances
are on a sounder basis than they for
merly were. Before the passage of the
Federal Reserve Act such depression
in stocks would have alarmed the fi
nancial world. Wall Street controll
ed the money then and a panic was
not impossible by any means. The
Democrats are responsible for the
Federal Reserve Act, a measure so
eminently fair and necessary that the
Republicans have made no effort to
repeal it.
BRAMHAM POSITIVELY
WON’T BE CHAIRMAN
Feels Sure He Could Be Re-Elected
But Under no Circumstances Will
He Be Candidate.
Raleigh. March S. —"I would not
be state chairman any longer if they
paid me $50,000 a year." Chairman
William (J. Brabant said here today
when asked if he would yield to the
pressure being brought on him to
hold his place.
"I just wouldn't have it for any
thing in the world." he said. “I have
been importuned to retain it. From
wbatjms been told me and what I
have seen I do not doubt that I could
bo re-elected.” Estimates of his sup
porters would give hint more than
900 of the votes and that is about
90 per cent. There would be no fight
on him. But he stands against hold
ing on. He authorized the Daily
News bureau to say that he would
under no circumstances reconsider
his resignation.
Mr Bramham would not discuss
his successor. He preferred not to
be guessed at. He desires peace above
everything. He had seen in the
Greensboro Daily News that Brown
low Jackson’s name has been sug
gested. The chairman thinks no
praise of Mr. Jackson too high, but
the Durham man is uot participat
ing in that contest.
The movement to make him recon
sider his resignation will come to a
full stop. The state chairman means
to enjoy life and the baseball games.
And a capacity for that sort of sport
does not take in the kind that a
state chairman meet referee.

young Carter, king employed as pay

The following \v(*ek his Automobile
was found in Washington, D. C.. in
a garage. It is not known who left
it there. Before departing Carter
sent to an associate at the Sayles
plant the time book with which
kept the records of the workmen’s
carings, a batch of unclaimed wage
slips were left on hand after meeting
tlie payroll, and $l5O in money to
cover them. At his home was found
more money and all of his personal
belongings, including his baggage. It
is declared that the home life of the
missing man was particularly happy
as far as was -known and that no
irregularities have been found in any
of his business oi' personal affairs.
No associate is able to recall any
statement that might have pointed to
the fact that young Carter was think

has nut given up hope of finding his
son, but nevertheless admitted tonight
that the chances were small.
