PfiDSPERITY
IN THE SOUTH NOW
President of the Consolidation
.Coal Co. Comments on Busi
less Revival of This Region.
Baltimore, Feb. 16. Finding evi
dences of prosperity all throuRh the
southern states, President Jere II
v aeelwrlght, of the Consolidation
Coal company, has 'just returned to
Baltimore after an extended stay in
the southland.' ; Although up to the
hilt, so to ppeaii, in work at his office
yesterday, air. Wheelwright paused
ions enough to comment upon the
great business which the south is do
ing following the depression which re
sulted from the outbreak of the Euro
pean war.
With the exception of Georgia, the
head of, the Consolidation stated ho
found that good times had prevailed
lor several months in practically every
line of industry in the south. Georgia,
he explained, was slower to feel the
effects of the business revival than
evere the Carolinas and other states,
but that the people of this particular
-"State were now beginning to partici
- iate also in the prosperous times.
I'One thing particularly noticeable
In the southern territory," said Mr.
M'heelwright, "is the great diversifica
tion of crops which has followed the
outbreak of the conflict abroad. . The
eouthern farmers are not giving good
results. You find diversified crops and
the system of intensified farming most
everywhere you travel in the south,
went through an exceptionally fertile
trucking section. The new line of the
Seaboard from Charleston to Savan
nah traverses a rich truck farm ter
ritory and there are large acreages in
.cabbage and other vegetables alon,
this new branch. The development in
j the truck farms Is being pushed rapid
ly and, of course, this means even
greater prosperity for those sections in
which such farm developments is tak
lng place.
' "Turning to the lumber Industry,'
continued Mr. Wheelwright, "you find
that the products of the forest are
bringing excellent prices; in fact, bet
ter prices than for years. Along the
coast, of course, timber shipments are
delayed on account of the lack of ves
sels to take care of accumulating car
goes. The rail movement, however, is
heavy. On my visit I dirt not obtain in
figures the actual acreage to be plant
ed in cotton this year, but the general
Impression is that It will be smaller,
awing- to the fact that the diversified
tmp Idea is meeting with popular
favor among southern farmers.
"Naturally, the railroads of the
aniith ' are. Ieneliting because of the
prevailing prosperity. This is evi
. :iinrr, by increased earnings being
-reported from month to month. . The
-"-.-uiWok for the transportation com
1 unies Is bright as it is for every other
' land) of industry in the south. The
-.-outh' i no longer looking for pros
perity, it hiis arrived,- and southern
jjicoplc are feeling Its effects to a
Si.iarUed degree. It is making them
'll-.iippy and contented."
SCHOOL TEACHERS
MAYJPLAY GAME
Negotiations on Between High
School and County Teachers
For Basketball Game.
Xegotlatlons for a basketball game
to be played at the T. M. C. A. be
tween teachers of the AsheviHe High
chool and of the county schools, are
In progress, according to an an
nouncement made today, and It Is ex
pected that the game will be played

It was planned to ploy such a game
last fall, but for some cause the final
arrangements were not made at that
time and the matter dropped for the
time being;, only to be revived durtr.n
the past few days. Then too, there
are whispers that one side Is afraid
to play the other, but of course there
can be nothing to such a rumor as
that, for both teams would stage In
teresting pluys, no doubt.
At any rate the outcome of the ne
gotlotlons will be watched with con
siderable Interest- by a large number
of people, who are Interested In the
matter, from sport's sake, however.

. Washington. Feb. 16
The Richmond regional bank of the
federal reserve system, has issued, in
pamphlet form, a report of the ODer-
auons of the bank from its organiza
tion to the close of the last calendar
year. ..
Details of organization are given at
length, election of governor,, direc
tors, reserve agents, etc.; the adoption
of by-laws and the preliminary work
in detail.
The first business operation of the
Dank was the rediscounting of
batch .' paper for a North Carolina
member bank November 25. 1914
ana me discount line reached its
maximum, S8,"47,476.30 August 7
1915.
Beginning with no productive i-s-
sets and without inviting business the
bank's management feels a large
measure or satisfaction in being able
to pay a 6 per cent per annum divl
aena on the capital stock. It fully
realized that such a result was made
possible for the reason that the south
ern portion of the district was espe
cialiy in need of the help afforded
oy '.ne bank.
. In re-discounting notes the officials
or tne institution had always In mind
the high standard set by the regula
tions of the federal reserve board and
on re-discounts of $5,000 or more full
statements of condition are demand
ed. Many notes have been decline,!
as ineligible either in their character
