PROSPERITY IN SOUTH
GREATER THAN EVER.
Atlanta. March 19.--Front a
standpoint of general prosperity
history will probably, never record
a more remarkable year than 1919.
so far as the south is concerned,
but from the present outlook 1920
is going to run it a close second, in
the opinion of Atlanta business
men and bankers.
They declare it is not over-stat
ing the fact to say that the south
is. hi beter condition than ever be
fore. and their opinion is that the
south will show a remarkable bus
iness record for 1920.
R. iV. Benin, Jr., well known in
vestment banker, who is a close
student of business conditions, de
clared today that from
financial centers showed an ann
ually prosperous condition partic
ularly in sections of the south, lie
shows that the south will get a
high price for every thing she sells
and pay low juices for everything
she buys, which from an economic
standpoint will certainly be a most
ideal situation.
The monthly report of the At
lanta banks shows that bank de
posits continue to grow, the de
mand for loans and investments
is picking up right along, that col
lections are unusually good for
this season of the year and that
real estate is booming.

DEBATE.
Winder vs. Commerce.
All hail the champions of our
colors—Rubye Woodruff', Woodfin
Hill. Edith House, Alton Young.
We are indeed proud of debat
ers who so bravely attacked Com
merce last Friday night on this
subject: “Shall County School
Superintendents be elected by the
Board of Education.’’ The affirm
atives of both Winder and Com
merce won. leaving the question
of who goes to the district meet
still unsolved. This question will
be settled tomorrow in Athens in
University Chapel. We have no
fear for victory for two reasons,
First, honesty and justice are our
policies, and they are always vic
torious: second, with Misses Edith
House, Rubye Woodruff, Messrs.
Woodfin Hill, and Alton Young,
championing a question.who could
win over them?
At a critical moment the lights
misteriously went out, when they
again come on we found Alton
Young’s debate missing, but Edith
House, knowing the motto of Com
merce; win at any price, if not,
hook then by crook; kept her de
bate in the firm gigs of her hand.
