Southern trip reports slower southern business conditions
Mr and Mrs Allen R Smith of Woodsboro and their young son and daughter travel by car to Birmingham Alabama to visit Mrs Smiths mother. In a letter Mr Smith notes lower farm crop output especially corn and wheat and ongoing cotton cultivation. He says southern business not up to last years and cotton merchants struggle to move product while labor runs three to four days a week. Overcrowded southern cities fragment commerce, limiting profits for many firms. He also mentions tarantella dancing used in medieval times as a cure for insanity from tarantula bites.
