Reports from the Southern
Pine Association for February

been the strides toward re-
covery according to Dan A
Bradstreet's mid-March re-
view of Nation-wide business'
conditions, that manufacturers
now forsee shortages of mer-
chandise within the next six
months, and many of the small
firms that were slow in cover-
ing future requirements will
face difficulties hi obtaining
goods. In all Federal Reserve
districts, increased pay rolls,
release of funds by reopened
banks, and commencement of
PWA activities are proving a
powerful stimulus to the cur-
rent trade revival. Measured
by every yardstick of compari-
son, the report asserts, business
generally shows improvement
.over the record for any period
of the past year. .

dence of long deferred season-
al recession in less than half a
dozen industrial divisions is be-
ing far outweighed by the well
sustained increase is the auto-
motive, steel, metal, glass, rub-
ber, textile, and shoe indus-
tries. The report declares
‘The continued upswing is
spreading to various associat-
ed lines, with production
schedules in some instances not
far behind the record levels of
1929." Dun & Bradstreet’s

"The week’s developments

ramifications of the business

I have determined to run for
the office of County School Su-
perintendent of Shelby county,
1 know the requirements of
this office, and believing that
this office should be filled by a
person who has kept closely in
touch with the practical side
of the school life of our boys
and girls, and feeling the
weight of 25 years of experi-
ence hanging upon me, occa-
sioned my determination to of-
fer for this office.
I am acquainted with most
of the people of the county
and I expect to make a strenu-
ous campaign and hope to see
all of you and talk face to
face and answer for any in-
quiring mind any question up-
permost in his heart relative to
the office or my qualifications.
I was born and reared in
Shelby county, about half-way
between Center and Timpson
in the old RainsviTIe communi-
ty, a son of the late Rev. Wm.
Harris, who came from Ten-
nessee to Shelby county in
1877. I was bom on October
6, 1888, and the spring of
1884 my mother carried me to
the field In a small box and
went back and forth to the
fields until I was 21 years of
age. My father was broken
up financially when I was a
boy in the defense of my broth-
er, Billy Harris, in the cele-
brated Joe Shields case. I went
to the Huber school until I
came to Center and took the
teacher’s course under A. E.
Day. I have taught school in
Shelby county 20 years, in the
Valley 3 years and 2 years in
Nacogdoches county, making
25 years in this work of toiling
in the school room. I have,
atd hold a State Permanent
Teacher** Certificate made un-
der the old rigid rules of ex-
amination. I have served upon
the County Board of examin-
ers in Shelby county and also
upon the Board of County
School Trustees.
I have considered running
for this office for several years
but have given way for Jmy
friends to run and occupy this
position. In the campaign of
1928 I ran third for the office
of District Clerk, being beaten
only by 28 votes by the Hon.
John W. Davis, who ran sec-
ond.

I do not favor consolidation
unless it is by the people con-
cerned.
I believe the rural school*
should be run and controlled
by their trustees a* heretofore.
I am not in favor of the coun-
ty unit system. Teachers
should be selected and not
sent.
Thanking each aad all to
give me a thoughtful and kind
consideration, and yoor vote
and influence will be highly
appreciated, I remain,
Yours very truly,
W.G. (Watsey) Harris.
