 spend Sunday, the Kecond day of AukukI, hut Instead wi'Ut to Tarlii. Thin 

 was Ills tli-st stroke of nood liuk. Ills money was practically useless to 

 him In I'nrls and his second stroke of Kood fortune came throui;b his 

 contact with friends who were able to furnish him with funds which were 

 riesotlahlc. With these he made his way to London and later sailed for 

 .\inerlca. Mr. Darnell says that there Is a posslhlllty Ihot export business 

 will he tied up for a long time, hut that, In his opinion, the war will Im- 

 followed by abnormal activity In the I'nlted States In practically all line*, 

 thus insuring a big volume of business for the manufacturers of hardwood 



The Arkay Slave Works of folumbus. Miss., report the sc^lziire of n 

 lai-RO of .tno.OOO staves by a Itrillsh cruiser just off Plymouth. This was 

 isllmated at from *1.").000 to .$l!n.()no. The loss, however, does not alTect 

 I he owners for the reason that II was fully covered by war risk Insurance. 

 The staves were sent to Oennany. This plant sold jiractlcally all of Its 

 output In that country and the war In Europe has made It necessary for it 

 lo stop production entirely for the present. 



The Maxwell Automobile Company has raadi- arraneements for the estab- 

 llsbiiient of a phint at .Memphis for the manufacture of the Ilebter parts of 

 llie Maxwell machine. In addilinn to manufacturlni; the parts in question, 

 the local plant will iiave facilities for the assembling of machines, thus 

 raaklug this city tlie distributinc point for the South and Southwest. It 

 is estimated that the necessary bulldlnes will cost approximately $200,000. 

 ,\ sile has already been secured and It Is understood that work thereon Is 

 10 lieRln at an early date. Memphis was .selected after an investlcalion 

 had been made of the advantages offered liy various other southern cities. 



The Illinois Central and Yazoo & Mississippi Valley roads, as well as the 

 Soutliern Uailway. are going ahead with the Improvements which were 

 begun before the war developed in Kurope. All of these lines are bulldini: 



■ xtenslve terminals here. The expenditures of the Illinois Central and 

 Yazoo & Mississippi Valley roads are estimated at betwei'n ?4.non.t)00 and 

 S.->.000.000. The Southern Railway Is spending more than $1,000,000. In 

 addition to these big Improvemenis by the railroads, there Is considerable 

 activity In building circles. It Is pointed out that the total Involved In 

 operations of this character, including that to be spent by the railroads. Is 

 ;il)OUt $7,000,000. .Vs a result of Ibis aclivlt.v, there is a good demand for 

 building material of almost eviTy kind. This is only another way of 

 saying that the operators of planing mills are doing a considerably better 

 liuslness than the manufacturers of hardwood lumber. 



.1. II. Townsiiend. general manager of the Southern Hardwood Traffic 

 .Vssociation. Is authority for the statement that the recent decision of the 

 IntiTstate Commerce Commission, whereby the tap lines are allowed to 

 participate In the division of rati's with the trunk lines, means a great 

 (leal to lumber interests In this section, and particularly to the owners of 

 these roads. This decision is a reversal of the one handed down several 

 .years ago In which the tap lines were denied participation in the rates 

 charged by the trunk lines. These roads have always been an Important 

 factor in the development of timber resources In the Memphis territory 

 and. since this decision allows I hem to be self-sustaining. It is expected 

 thai there will be an Increase In the number and that the development of 

 I be timber resources of this section will be still furl her stimulated. It Is 

 also expected that, as a result of this decision, owners of tap lines will 

 make an effort to secure reparation for the losses they arc alleged to have 



■ xperlenced during tlic period they were denied such participation.

(ieneral business conditions :in> bealthy In Nashville, as shon-n by 

 tlie bank clearings, which aniouiiled to .<2:!.00:!.70.S in August, com- 

 pared with $2:t,.'«.-.:{.74G for the same month last year. This is con- 

 sidered a fine .showing In view of the wars and other conditions of 

 business. 



Henderson Baker, president of the Nashville Lumbermen's Club, says 

 it 13 the general disposition of the trade to go slow In these uncertain 

 times, with a considerable curtailment of production, which Is cutting 

 down operations by small mills in the countr.v. According to Mr. Baker 

 ii Is a matter of waiting for developments.
