In the Sir Walter Hotel, Be J, C, Brinkerville. Raleigh. Jan. I—ls 1935 turns out to be as good a year as 1934 was, the people of North Carolina can look forward to a fairly prosperous year, according to most State officials and others who have carefully watched conditions throughout 1934. But if conditions continue to improve throughout 1935 as they have for the past six months of 1934, the people of the State can look forward to the unusually good year from almost every standpoint, observers here agree. It is that “if” that stands in the way. however, since if it could be removed, there would be no doubt about the future prosperity of North Carolina.
