TLlli (IKOUCilaN’S MiWS BIUEFS NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY DAWNS FOR DIXIE, SAYSLO WRY g Noted Artists Pick Girl of To-day MOYER +••?* -I* • •!•••!• •!•#•!• v •*!* CRISIS HAS PASSED Chicagoan Wins in Beauty Test “We Have Taken a Big Dose of Medicine,” He Says, “and It Will Do Us Good.” "In my opinion, the United States, mid particularly the South, is on the threshold of a year of splendid pros pects and vast possibilities, ’ said Colonel Robert J. Lowry, president o! Die Lowry National Bank and chief official of the Atlanta ( leaning House Association. Saturday. Colonel Lowry had been discussing the new currency bill and its rela tion to the South. He also had said something of the tariff—and the fast that Colonel Low'ry is a stout protec tionist makes all the more significant his optimistic outlook for the coming > ear. Thinks Crisis Is Past. "Now, I wouldn’t be giving this to you straight," Colonel Lowry went one, "if 1 didn’t admit that, in my opinion, the country has just come through a crisis. 1 am sure it was not generally realized how grave the situation was. But I believe it is well over, now—a thing of the past, and an added tribute to the ability of the American people to cope with any situation that may arise. “Being a protectionist, I can’t help but hold to the opinion that the new tariff was put over at an inopportune time for our Southern manufactur ers. The New England factories had enjoyed the benefits of protection for decades. In former years, the South did not require any particular pro tection from the product of the cheap labor of Europe. Now there is a Southern manufacturer at every crossroads—and the protection is re moved from all alike. Cites Power of the South. "But even that circumstance will not retard the prosperity of the South. I feel sure of that, because 1 have lived long in this section and I know’ its natural resources and its wonderful recuperative power. If the new tariff proves a handicap, why, means will he found to correct the trouble. I have every confidence in the power and wisdom of the people of the South. They are essentially capable of looking after their own af fairs. “But I certainly can not conscien tiously minimize the recent period of unrest and uneasiness the country has just been through. Two great measures were- pending. Business did not know how to regard either. I’ll tell you—it was like the administra tion of a dose of medicine in a case of illness. The dose was powerful; in some ways it was bitter; it was hard to take. But I believe firmly that its effect will be most beneficial. It is characteristic of our people that when there is a big job to be done, or severe medicine to be taken, they like to do the job, to take the medi cine, in a hurry and get it over with. Praises the Currency Bill. "As to the currency bill. I am ex tremely optimistic in regard to its bearing on the South, and particular 1 ]y on Atlanta, for I have little doubt that Atlanta will be selected as one of the regional banking locations. "This bill, as at first framed, did MRS. HEARST HONORED. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 27.—Governor Glynn to-day announced the appoint ment of Mrs. W. R. Hearst as a mem ber of the commission to represent New York State at the Panama-Pa cific International Exposition to be held in San Francisco. Mrs. Hearst is the first woman appointed on that commission. The appointment was made under tHe recent act of the Leg- ... islature, adding three new members not appear to many of the more con servative bankers and financiers to be desirable. 1 may say that it look ed pretty bad to me. But the tenor has been changed so radically that, as it was enacted, the currency meas ure provides a sound and progressive basis for the future of our Amerkan banking and currency System. “And perhaps the finest part of it all is the evident relief and confidence that have succeeded the unrest and disturbance while the two big meas ures were pending. "The thing is settled now. Even those who do not agree with the reg ulation of tlie tariff and with the pro visions of the currency bill are tak ing their places w ith an air of confi dence, ready to go ahead and make the best of it. Predicts a Record Year. "The best of it ought to be pretty good. It ought to be just about the test year this country ever saw, and 1 have the South particularly in mind— and our own State—when I say that. AVe are particularly blessed here in Georgia with a stawlart, robust pros perity that can not be shaken by the storms of finance. I have no doubt that Georgia was less affected by the recent crisis than any other State in the Union. in a way of speaking, Georgia is a young State—young in the development of its natural re sources; a young giant, just feeling his strength. “I’m a conservative, you know, and I don’t fall into the hurrah line as easily as some of these youngsters. But this time I can’t see any reason for not joining the chorus. Whatever I can do to help things along will be done with all the might there is in me.
