One of the biggest news stories Tito Gazette has told in ninny u l;iy is that! carried in today's iue telling of a for- ward looking step taken by a few of tin j city's leading citizens, representing by committee the majority of the business; Interests of the city, looking toward the i establishment of an adequate system of undertaken to impress upon South Caro linians the fact that Greenville is a real live wire city with the " jet-up-and-get" spirit that does things even in times of, adversity. On our next boosting trip, Gastonia merchants, suppose we take in a few more counties in both States. BUSINESS CONDITIONS. I From thi New York Dailv News Rec ord we clip the following resume of gen eral business condition. throughout the country, as furnished by several of the lending economists and financiers: Readjustment Will Be Slow. "If the disturbing features in the gen cral situation were of domestic origin and application alone, it would not be ditliiult to indicate the course of im jiniveiiieiit. As things actually arc, however, the entile world is involved in the prolilem. Any improvement,' therefore, must involve the re est all rnent of normal political and ci o iiouiic conditions abroad, as well Us a dependable situation with re spcrt to international (relit and exchange. Jt is idle to think that we can prosper to the full extent 1 of our capacity if deprived of the for--! eign markets; nor, it may be added, , can we prosper if we rear up an insur j immutable wall Against the iiuporta ; tions of the products of Kuropc, fcxmth. ! America and the Far Kust. In other' t words, with the horizon thus obscured j by all manner of difficult problem,, there i little to indicate that the gen- i eral readjustment of business in 1e I'nited States will be other than a te-i diously slow process." The Economic j World, May 7. Th2 Question of The Future. j "Confronted ns this country has been' with serious financial and industrial difficulties of its own, the manlier in which they have been met has given1 remarkable testimony to our economic i strength. There has been no break down of credit; the currency system has operated in a more normal way) than in any previous period of reliction.1 Hard times have not impaired the power of the I'nited Htates in the ecu-; nomic world; on the contrary, they, have emphasized it."
