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.

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.
