OUTLOOK GOOD IN
SOUTHERN STATES
Railroad Head Sees Brighl
Prospects Ahead
CONDITIONS NOTEWORTHY
Manufacturers In Most Lines Have
Demand For Products—Run On
Full Time—Corn Crop Shows Up
Well.
Fairfax Harrison, the new presi
dent of the'Southern Railway Com
pany. speaking of the busines outlook
in the South, said:
“Conditions throughout the terri
tory are generally favorable. The
farmers ,of the Southeast, except in
restricted localities where they suffer
ed from drouth, have had a highly
prosperous year. The ginning reports
of the United States Census Bureau
indicate that the cotton crop of the
states east of the Mississippi rivei
will exceed that of last year, and cur
rent prices are above those of a year
ago.
"While the estimate of the total
corn crop of the United States, re
cently issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, shows a
falling off, compared with last year,
of 061.729.000 bushels, the crop in
nine Southeastern States is within
21.000.000 bushels as large as last
year, tin* only Southeastern states
showing decreased yields on account
of the drouth being Kentucky and
Tennessee.
“Other crops, including forage,
have turned out well, and. taking the
territory as a whole, I doubt whether
the farmers of the Southeast have
ever had a more favorable year.
“Largely growing out of the pros
perous condition of the farmers,
wholesale and retail trade throughout
the Southeast is generally in good
condition.
"Manufacturers In most lines ar»
enjoying a good demand for their
products, and their establishments
are running on full time, though some
slackening of production is to he ex
pected during the holiday season. The
reports of cotton mill and knitting
mill development are particularly
noteworthy.”

Tlie strongest earthquake in several

other ten years later.

heavy earthquakes are common. In
June, 1896, in the Semriku districts
(North Japan) 27,000 persons were
killed; in Formosa in February, 1 DOG,

curred August 14, 1909, at Mino-Omi,
destroyed nearly 10,000 houses and
