CLING To THE OLD TRADITIONS.
Lets quit prating about the New South The
New South was born Of new conditions which
awoke energy. thrift, power and enterprise TO be
SPONSORS for hcr future welfare. II is for the Old
South that must have the tenderest care. May
she lose her form and substance in the
thickcnng folds OF shadOwland, Let us keep the
fires burning in the old hearhstones II we have no
fag0ts but those from the storm stripped trees or
the old homestead Tie together the broken threads
OF all the old stories that you learned when you
We're boys. and tell them TO your children. Dream
over again your schoo-days. and recall the first
evidence OF Chivalry you showed which made your
mother knight you for lifr
Let laugh You into forgetfulness Of what
icOnoc.asts are pleased to call southern honor
and Southern pride" Immerse your soul anew in
the baptsmal font of the Old South. and stand by
her traditions You do by the prayers which you
learned at your mothers knee.
Every man Of us should feel his Individual oh'iga-
ton to set forth as far possible In his own life
all that was strongest tcndcrest bravcst and best

cncraftel IN this field may bear fruit worthy
OF the parent tree and thus proving credit 10
the land Of our nativity We shall be an honor 70
the home Of our adoption. All these things are
committed unto us. and 50 long as they arc faltn-
fully kept alive society will be illustrating its
best purposes and achieving its MODEST destiny.
