CONSTRUCTION WORK GOES FORWARD.

The South is stepping forward on the path of prosperity.
In no way is this more apparent than in the construction of line.
With the opening of the year there was evident a distinct revival
of interest in construction lines and many big projects, were
launched. All over the South there is evident a movement to erect
large numbers of new residences and business houses. Industrial
plants are showing activity both as to new plants and improve
ment of old plants.
The Manufacturers' Record has an interesting summary of
this progress that is now so noticeable in the South and that
furnishes an argument to those who have been at work dispelling
the gloom clouds. The Record says:
“A summary of the construction contracts awarded in the
South during February indicates an expenditure of $35,774,174,
as shown by items published in these columns during the past
month. In addition, initial announcements were made of projects
which will necessitate an investment of approximately $91,379,-
667 before completion.
“The high level established in January was maintained and
even increased, as indicated by a comparison with figures repre
senting construction activity in February, 1921, when building
contracts awarded had a total valuation of $14,350,944 and pro
jected construction involved the expenditure of $30,920,254. Thus
building activity last month was treble that of the corresponding
month last year; this is similar to the increase noted during the
preceding month over January, 1921.
“Miscellaneous enterprises held first place in contracts award
ed, totaling $13,871,700 for the four weeks, compared with roads,
paving and bridge contracts amounting to $9,193,658 and the total
'of $3,017,515 representing school buildings. Roads, paving and
bridge projects announced for future construction involved $22,-
288,415 and thereby gain first place in this classification. Miscel
laneous enterprises projected represented by a total of $21,871,-
292 stood second and^ school buildings third, amounting to $11,-
356,050.
"A new high record for the year in contracts awarded was
established for the week ended February 23, the valuation being
$10,746,110, an exceptionally high figure for this season and in
dicate of the vast amount of building of all kinds that is already
under way and planned for the immediate future. Construction
of sewers, drainage and water .works together with other munic
ipal improvements will figure prominently in the general expen
sion program this year. For February projects of this kind
planned had a valuation of close to $15,000,000. The building of
dwellings, apartment houses and hotels is going forward at a
steady rate.
“Advance reparts from the building inspectors In represen
tative cities indicate that the record breaking activity estab
lished in January will be maintained or even exceeded when tho
summary of February building permits is made. Home building
campaigns are under way to meet the shortage of housing facili
ties in many cities. Established industries are expanding and new
Arms are building plants; public service companies are increas-
ing their output and making extensive improvements to their 'fa
cilities; city, county and state work of every kind is increasing in
* volume as bonds are voted and sold to finance such work.”
TEACHING HONESTY.
i.„„
The president of the National Surety company of New York
recently addressed a letter to a Hat of school superintendents all
over the United States, asking them to establish weekly talks
in their schools on the subject of honesty, in the effort to con
vince the children that honesty is the best policy. A good many
school authorities have Consented to make this arrangement Tho
appeal pointed out the tremendout crime wave that is spreading
over the country, and spoke of the necessity of taking stepe to
counteract It.
There arc many young people today who have no concep
tion of the necessity of Square dealing. No effort has been made
to show them that honesty pays, They read in the newspapers
about the work of banits and burglars, and some of them reach
the conclusion 'that thieving furnishes a short cut to prosperity.
While the schools have almost too many subjects to deal
with now, yet they must always be ready to give some time to
such a fundmaentai idea, when the need of emphasising it comes
up. Honesty is such a fundamental idea. A period of a few mo
menta each'week, given to talks by the teacher, with instructions
to the children to find and recite instances that honesty pays,
ought to be useful in giving the pupils a correct point of view.
Such lessons should not be haphazard, or be taken up by a
teacher without the right kind of preparation. Some text book
should be issued and used giving illustrations that would make
the subject interesting to children, with concrete instances out
of real life showing that honesty pays.

JUDGES AND THEIR PUBLIC UTTERANCES
Recently some of the Justices of the Supreme court of the
United States have been criticised for their utterances on public
,.i subjects,' It has been pointed out that they have given expressions
to opinions oh subjects that sooner of later will come before them
in a legal way for adjudication.
As a general thing judges of courts should be slow to express
opinions in public about any important matters. They are called
upon to pass on all kinds of questions and foe them to take pro-
.nounced opinions in public on-Various issues gives the impression
- 7 at least to the people that they have prejudged the cases that
r ' come before them for settlement. ‘ ,
It ia impossible for supreme court judges to be without opin
ions and if they were they would not be fit to sit on the highest
judicial bench in the world. Tlfey necessarily have opinions as to
- political questions and as a rule the opinions are firmly fixed in
-their minds. ,
But undoubtedly they should be careful about expressing
them publicly. By so doing they lessen their influence as judges
and lay themselves open to public criticism In many cases with
out foundation. - -
The federal officers are after the red liquor in Savannah and
the local officers are haniing in the white liquor which leads one
i to believe that the average citizen in that place will have some
trouble in securing his usual eye-opener.

“Zella met two little white girls

of them from the eldewalk, ap
plied a very offensive epithet to
