S«v» Railroad From Raleigh To

By BJON H. BUTLER.
Dr. G M. Cooper in an article on a
railroad from Wilmington to Raleigh,
by way of Clinton, asks me in help
stir up the proposition, and while
there U mighty little I ran do in such
a matter I am alwav* ready to help

community in the State will Sc- to

advantage of the pos'ilnlitio.

dream of development, and a most
unique thing in In-' way of const ruc

without n railroad, nrd It is one of
the most fertile farm *rrtions of the
world. That Is a right comp'chcn

It was a harmonious meeting of
about one hundred of the staunchest

work, appointing a full act of dele

coming senatorial convention, and
calling for a big mat* mooting In

Walter P. Byrd, the suave lawyer
who waa ctefk of tb® court during

ORGY OF SPECULATION IS REGARDED
BY FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD ir^TENTILY
- '
Sees Tendency Among Bankers To Put dfe Brake.)
On and Exercise More Discriminate^) in
Extending Credits—War Expan
sion To End Soon. y
-:
Washington, Mar. 1.—Early and
ing of the general expansion whiefc
has characterised war and immediate
post-war periods was forecast In a
statement rannaniiog February
basinsos conditions, issued tonight bj
the federal reserve board. The up
ward movement of prices, so far ai
the board could ascertain generally
had not met with any chock.
Financial and banking authorities
everywhere were asserted to be look
in* more seriously at tha general
situation in cradit and beginning to
urge the adoption of conservative
policies. While the review asserted
that this could not he accepted as
{meaning that "the orgy of specula
tion" had been absolutely checked,
'here was said to bo the Indisputable
evidence that banks ware exercising
| a “greater degree of discrimination
xnd judgment in complying with the
demands of their customers."
•Throughout practically all of the
reports of federal revery* agents,”
the statement maid, “there runs
plainly a recognition of the exixt
•ncc of an or entrained condition of
credit and of aom* continued tend
ency toward speculative operation*
High living costa and the upward
movement of prices have apparently
not been cheesed although there is
a decrease in prices is certain lines
and a tendency toward restricted
trad* in others. Interest rat** are
rising In moat districts, while bank*
are exercising a greater degree of
discrimination and judgment in merl
in* tha demands of their customers"
Socarittec Affected Adversely
Tha Incrcato in interest rates hat
had the effect of lowering security
quotations, the board found, a* av,-e
the best investment securities have
suffered in this rasped. It aleo has
had the affect of forcing a shrinkage
or contraction in the volume of
trading in all classes of securities,
tho magnitude of which was regarded
aajaMrmtag by the board xr.^j
months ago. In some federal rs
acre* districts there were indications
of a reduction in the volume of
•pecalation in commodities
"Tho affects of the increase in dis
count rates," the statement contin
ued, “made themselves evident In a
conservative attitude on tha
her banka with, ra^iect
