What the South Wants.

The following from the pen of a distin.

true Southern man.

we want Southern brains and enterprise.
What the South wants is common sense and
action. The old ruling class was not and is
not more inefficient class than the same
strata in New England. On the contrary
history shows that when we applied our
selves to the thing in hand we eXcelled the
North. We had more good statesmen and
orators than the North Our military mon
were the foremost In manners aud taste
the South, with all her smaller cities and
sparse population, was at least equal, and
abroad held superior to the North, Tn
