The Courier lias told its readers
frequently during the year that
business was fast making its way
to normalcy. We are indeed glad
we were right in our predictions.
We know the people that had
vision are the ones that are now
progressing instead of lagging
Everyone will admit now that busi¬
ness is much better than it lias been
since deflation.
We had an editorial in our paper
of April 21. 1922, that tells you we
were expecting better prices and a
more aggressive business. Read it.
We have mentioned frequently in 'I he
Courier that now is the time to go after
business more harder than ever before.
We reproduce a statement, from the
world’s keenest, conservative and most
accurate economist, Roger W. Babson,
who substantiates our statements. Mr.
Babson is paid a yearly salary of $1,600,
000 for his advice to business men
Read It carefully. ”1922 is the year to
use the reserve set aside during the fat
years. Cut production cost as much as
possible, but don’t skimp your selling
appropriation during 1912. lleler ex¬
pansion of plant until next year -but this
year—increase your advertising.
“Take the aggressive coui-se! There
will be considerable business this summer,
more the coming fall and winter, more
still next year. But the man who goes
after it now*— is the man who will get it.”
We wonder if everybody really
did their part in bringing the cur¬
rent back? If live ttutli was
known you would see that only a
very few were the ones who really
went after business. And as they
put all of their best energy and
efforts into going after
iliey must be given ( the credit for
swinging the pendulum back. It
takes business to make prosperous
times, and of course, it’s some¬
body’s job to go after the business.
Mr. itabson has only recently
this to say of the south :
“All the south needs is that desire to
produce and that joy in production which
has been the making of the north. In
the north, rich as well as poor, we all
took upon work as a blessing and a privi¬
lege. 1 think that there are many people
,ia the south who have not yet got this
point of view.
'The south leads the United States in
natural resorees. It is nearer the center
of consumption than ia the cast, ami is
well located for exporting, especially to
southern Europe and Latin America."
We certainly can’t say that his
criticism of the south in the respect
to many of her inhabitants being
conscientiously opposed to work isi
wholly unwarranted. For, as you
clearly know, the situation is just
-Mr. Crissinger, Comptroller of
Currency, says "‘There is every
reason for the expectation that we
ate now at the beginning of an era
of prosperity.” The national banks
have an increase of $210,089,000
since June.
Some people may not take these
«ay«ng$ to meat, very much, but
let us remind you just here that
business is not far from pre-war
normalcy. We cannot hope to see
prices come back like they went
up, but we are reminded of the
fact that they are making them¬
selves so noticuble we are almost
made to believe it.
It is just like Editor James Jl.
Nevin, ot The Atlanta Georgian,
says:
The truth of the matter is, times are
tenter; business conditions are improving
and the return of prosperity is reselling
far out into the rural sections—the last to
feel its return, the first to feel its de¬
parture.
1 veuture the prediction that within
4ive years the State of Georgia will be in
the midst of an era of propserity such as
.she never has known befoi-e.
Mr. Nevin’s predictions are very
reasonable. The City' of Atlanta
is advertising for a 500,<xx> popu¬
lation in I923. The deflation has
dots taught the farmers and business
.men of Georgia and the nation a
wonderful lesson. They have
to produce cottou under
boll weevil conditions, besides at a
much less cost than in any year
during the past ten years, accord¬
ing to Mr. Ernest Dallas, of the
Johnson-Dallas Advertising Agen¬
cy, Mr. Dallas says be wishes *‘To
influence the advertising agents to
tap this golden till, by advertising
in this section through the various
media offered them.” The adver¬
tising agents are live wires. They
go after business and are very in¬
strumental in assisting the country
back to normalcy.
Advertising is lifeblood of any
business and community.
Throughout the Southeast all
lines of trade and industry are ex¬
periencing a pronounced business
revival. The city merchants will
tell you they are planning for one
of the greatest holiday trades on
record. What is that but good
times, if not here, just around the
corner?
Mr. Norman H. Johnson, of
Richmond, Va., secretary of the
Southern Wholesale Dry Good
Association, was interviewed by
the Atlanta Georgian’s financial
writer, Victor Barron, and in part
of his interview he says :
“There has been a remarkable change
in the business atmoephere in Atlanta
since I was here a few months ago,” he
said.
The same is applicable throughout the
country. But the Southern States are
leading the entire country in the revival.
There is today an actual scarcity of
labor. A demand will continue and there
is no probability of a recession in the
present wage scale. Low wages tetard
business and prosperity. Liberal wages
mean greater purchasing power of the
masses. This means capacity business
in all industries.
He pointed out that farm products are
showing no weakness.
Under these circumstances lower prices
are out of question, lie said. Transpor¬
tation is not going to be cheaper. Taxes
will not be decreased. The tariff will
not be repealed in 1923. Ho there is not
a fundamental circumstance that indi¬
cate a decrease in values.
Mr. Johnson declared that tiie disturb¬
ing situation in Europe has been exagger¬
ated and thsttbe fundamental conditions
on thst side will lie solved by well-train¬
ed diplomatic students, psrtt*, 7 -J#rl.y yjjjb
reference to the Greco-Turkisli wrangle,
and nothing alarming will appear in the
final analysis of that problem, tie ex
presses the opinion that Turkey yyill be
given Constantinople, as no other nation
has a use for it.”
Prosperity is more noticeable in
this mountain section than ever be¬
fore. We will not go into full
detail in trying to fell you why we
think so, but we do wisii to remind
you of only a very few of the most
prominent ones. The government
is planning to make of the moun¬
tains a national playground, good
road are now being constructed,
apple industry in this section is
only now being realised, agricultu¬
ral possibilities are unexcelled,
prominent man moving into our
country, electric power, Tallulah
Falls Industral scitool will be
moved from Tallulah Falls to Mr.
M. R. Kellum’s place, near Cow
Rock mountain, good schools and
a more progressive spirit in church
work, better sale for all products,
Morse Bros. Lumber Company’s
activities in the manufacture of
lumber, good sale for cross ties, and
a rush for all the available houses.
In closing we wish not to omit
our good friend Jim Holloman,
who says :
“The time ia coining, and it ia not far
distant, when the Blue Ridge reservations
will he the *w«t famons, and I will ven¬
ture. the inoat attractive, of all the gov
ei umenc forests iu AMwUa.
Before another copy of (the
Courier reaches you one holiday
on our national calendar will have
been taken up by you in some
manner. That day is Thanks¬
giving. Most people know that
this is a national holiday and that
is about aif. It’s true they, prob¬
ably have interested themselves in
the historical Thanksgiving of
1621, doing that they tiav.e file real
feeling of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day, as a national'
holiday in the United States, is
observed since the festivitives of
if>2t by the Plymouth Colony in
some forwj. But generally it is
observed for nothing more than
custom.
Never let day ntn* night utikwjlow'd pasa.
Rut still remember what the Lord hath
dons. —SHAKESPEARE.
History tell* us after an abund-
THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CtfeVELAND, GEORGIA.
ant harvest was reaped, and houses !
completed and fifty survivors in j
excellent health ; after the hard-■
ships they had undergone, this :
celebration was planned and he’d.
The first Thanksgiving dinner
consisted of wild fowl, deer cran¬
berries in some form, succotash
and hasty pudding of some sort.
No doubt brandy and schnapps
were on hand. This we judge
our worthy progenitors participated
in liven up the occossions as they
as they remained for three days.
Chief Massosiot and his entire
tribe of Indians were present, j
1 hey indulged with the Pilgrims .
in sports, dancing and singing and
offered praise and thanks for their
abundant crops and the sparing of
their lives and other blessings of
Providence. In the present day
we observe Thanksgiving as a
nation-wide orgy of indulgences,
principally the rush to the football
field or a quail hunt.
Gratitude is the primal instinct
of normal man. W’e are all glad
of the land of our nativity and the
honor of citizenship. But do we
realize as did the Pilgrims, that
there is something finer and sweet¬
er that links life throughout the
past year and the future in its joy¬
ous hopes with God r
We have turned our backs on sordid
Sco‘S the false, to exalt the true.
And, rich with the honor fidelity brings,
We thank the god a to whom thanks are
due.—8. E- Kiser.
The Indians were in vited because
they were behaving rather decently
just then.
You remember how hnzirdous
these Pilgrims’ lives were, but in
spite of all the hardships they had
endured and the dangers that were
still to come this pitiful little hand
ful of survivors felt they still had
abundant reason for being thank
ful. They were thankful in the
true sense of the word. wouldn’t
it truly be a wonderul blessing if
the spirit of thankfulness was al¬
ways outstanding with us, that the
habj.t of always seeing something
to be glad of $nd grateful for?I
That is something wp should
steadfastly cultivate a »4 foster,
not alone, for the things adjed that
my w 4 4 «*W*» wilt urn*, bat
for our own peace and happiness
and the wellbeing of all whose
lives we may contract, Rpt in
stead of folks taking that view
they are selfish seeking thejr own j
ends, and caring nothing tor others
so long as they “get theirs as the
saying goes, |i s trin* a number of
people are too eager to (oqk on the
dark side, but we believe >ye are
prettty near correct in stating that
we are not as thankful and grate¬
ful »s wp should be. Absolutely
we do not fpd the solemnity of the!
of the occossipn as did the Pilgrims
in 1621, We get what we give,
although it may seem rather long
sometimes, but it is sura.
The eountry especially the South
has suffered enormously since the
deflated prices. But they can now
have a real Thanksgiving, for there
an increase of r $1,500,000,000 . .
is in
crop values this year compared
with last, of which $1,000,000,000
s i n the south.
The South will recieve on cotton
alone $70o,ooo,cxx> more than on
the last year crop. As estimated
figures show the South has in
sight two-thirds of »l« the estimated
gain in crop values of the whole
country.
Out of the depths of poverty 1
brought on by deflation the agri
cultural jitRerests are beginning to
see sign* of relurpaig prosperity.
Haven t aotRefhing ,to offer
to God on Thanksgiving Day?
White County is wonderfully
blessed with bounteous crops and
prosperity looming within her
borders. We know she should be
very thankful for all. But will
her citizenry appreciate it as they
SvO.uld is quite another question ?
While iiig depression has been felt
severely liexe d lias not been so
severe as iu other pGc.ej qJ Geor¬
gia. where the farmers are pr.etfy
near wholly dependent on cotton
and the boll weevil has played
havoc.
We should give praises and
Thanks for the many blessings that
have been bestowed on this great
nation by that Powerful and Ruliug
Hand in guiding the ship of state
and destiny to where.war clouds
have rolled away and the bright¬
ness and splendor of the sun once
more makes its appearance; to
where starvation, stark and stern
stared us in the face to the most
bounteous crops in years, and for
the countless blessings Thou has
showered on Thy creatures here on
this earth.
Every creature of God is good, and
nothing is refused, if it be received with
thanksg.ving.—1 Timothy iv,—4.
