Evidence accumulates that the textile industry is rapidly coming back into its ewn after a brief period of depression. Our IiOwell correspondent notes the fact that the Lowell group of mills has re sumed operations on a full tune si'liodulo. This morning's Charlotte Observer an Bounces that the ('hadvvick Iloskins group of mills, after standing idle for six woeka, will resume operations next Mon day morning. These mills have llO.IMMi pindlee. From Macon ia., comes the news today that, the Itibb Manufacturing Com pany, owning large factories at Colum bus, I'orterdiilo and Macon, will increase its capital stork a million and a hall' dollars, giving this concern a total cap Hal of $7,500,(Ki(i. The stockholders voted yesterday to do this, expressing tho firm conviction that the depression in the textile business has passed and that henceforth the trend will lie up wards. These are but isolated instances. Trom all sections of the country where textile factories are located reports of a like tenor are coming. There's nothing wrong with tho indus try, nothing wrong with tho country. All that is needed to bring business of all kinds back to a safe and sane bases is a genuine got 'together, pull-together pirit pervading all, workers anij capi talists' alike, lhe sun of a brighter day is easting its rays above the horizon. Idossed, also, are the pacemakers, for they keep the world on its toes. The mills of the gods grind slowly, and tho lawyer costs more than the fine. As we understand it. the constables are instructed to ''pull" the Cork's crew. Now that they are making odorless I ( LlMSUHiW Lk lWlkl- L J. limburger, there is nothing left to remind the doughboy of tho Western front. It may bo that olio is born every min ute, but $6 shoes marked down to $17.9S no longer interest them. The Irish are optimists, and no doubt give thanks daily that they live next to England instead of Turkey. The man who doesn't get there always nurses u suspicion that the successful man hit upon some crooked method. An admirer ail vises Harding to select six-cylinder men for the Cabinet. Does the gentleman think it is to bo a taxi cabinet f And nations shall beat their swords into plowshares and their steins into bootleg. The process of deflation decreases the number of people who worry about the servant problem. Europe's statesmen would be glad to trade a few first class dogs of war for an efficient stork. Habbits are unusually plentiful this year, and we may expect a corresponding reduction in the price of genuine fox furs. A physical director says Americans are becoming round shouldered. This is the inevitable result of the present tax system. If men can be made perfect bv legis !a!ive action, why spend so much money for (hurdles and preachers? vie I nzi will diuilit!i years regretting is energies. In hipping h'-nrd. s spend lli. next that he didn't doi eilmg son;. -tiling to SPENCER MOUNTAIN i,. TO WORK. Editor Ashcraft, of The Monroe En quirer, sounds the right note in the fol lowing : Now altogether, everybody! Let's buck coats, roll up sleeves, spit in hands nd get down to business. Too many of OS have been playing and have not been on the job constantly enough. Of course this does not apply to you, but to the ether fellow. Hut there is no argument ( about the statement that the other fel low has been spending too freely, has been wearing a high priced silk shirt when a plain cotton one would have done just as well. has been joy riding at night in a buzz wagon when he should have txHrn getting sound sleep, has been guzzling fizz water when honest to good Bess we-11 water would have been better ' for him, has Ins n --pending his money, like the proverbial drunken sailor when he should have been putting it in the ' oanc. L.et the other fellow and all of OS work just a little harder at everything except raisoig cotton, in l(i'l that we did in 19L'fl ami everything will come out right. Knock the "spend'' off of spendthrift, and we will ail feel as in dependent as crowned kings and will not feel mean and measley. One day Solo anoa picked up his fountain pen, or what ever he used to write with, and he wrote, 'Seest thou a man diligent in his busi ness! he shall stand before kings; he hall not stand before mean men. " The constitution has been amended a number f times, but no amendment or change htm been made to that statement made ttj the old wise man who sat in solemn state on the throne of Israel. That be an true let the year 1921 find our folks diligent in business and let us cut out a Sot of the wasteful extravagance and idle foolishness and get down to honest work auid sensible thrift.
