A "Fake" HObSOn.

"fhere was bogus uobson at a
South Georgia watering place last
week." said a New Orleans drummer,
who had just come in from a trip,
"and the hotel proprietor is wild over
the soil. The lieutcnant's double
was Arthur Eaton, Of Cincinnati,
who is well-known herc. lie looks
something like IIobson's picture, and
a friend registered him as the hero
just for a joke. We'll, you should
have seen the excitement The
whole district focled to the hotel,
all the pretty girls turned out and
the landlord nearly burst a blood
vessel gotting swell dinner. In a
little while the thing had gone SO
far that Eaton was afraid to own up,
and he sneaked off on the first train.
"Bofore he got away the girls Gut
all the buttons off his clothes as
souvenirs, and he got to Jacksonville
hanging together by safety pins. AT
the depot some cheerful idiot asked
the, fake IIobson to kiss his best
girl, and several other idiots followed
suit. Now they want his gore and
lots of it. | forgot to say that Eaton
promised to send every native a
chunk of the Merrimac. 1t would
take about three battleships to 60
round. If he ever goes back there,
they will hang him, sure.~-.New

all Of the white people Of the South
arc of pure English lineage, or else
are the offshoots of that Scotch
Irish stock to which we owe Patrick
Henry, John G. Calhoun and
Andrew Jackson 1t should also be
remembered that the English and
Scotch Irish emigraAts, from whom
the Southern whites are descended,
reached this country almost to a man
before the Revolutionary war. The
result is that if we should sec the
so-called native American, the typi-
cal American, the man who best rep
rcscnts tho conjoint effects Of Eng
lish or Scotch Irish hereditary apti-
tudcs and of trans Atlantic environ.
mcnt, we are most certain to find him
in the South. Whatever triumphs,
therefore, in the evolution of natu-
raj resources or in the solution of
social problems, may be achieved by
Southern whites, have peculiar
interest and Importance for genuine
Americans all over this country
"Thus this war with Spain, by
showing the worldwide domination
of the Anglo Saxon element, has
opened the way for most valuable
Southern asset to be brought into
activity and to exert its proper intlu-
cnce in the development of the re-
sources of that section Of the Union.
"In estimating the value of that
asset in the light of the new and
growing regard for Anglo-Saxon
civilization, there is little danger of
ones going too far. Indeed, there
may be found those who will predict,
after investigating the showing made
by the latest census on this score,
that the South, with 95 per cent of
its population native born, coupled
with the fact that it is endowed with
the most remarkable wealth making
resources, must soon be found occu-
pying a commanding position i'll COM
mcrce and exerting a controlling in
iluence in the worlds industry and
enjoying to such an extent all that
makes for local prosperity that, enor-
nous as was the loss which these
States sustained in tho civil war, it
may be ultimately recouped through
influences which the war now being
closed will soon actively SGT in mo-
ton. And am almost prepared to
concur in such prediction.
"Of course, 30 stupendous a gain
could not be due directly to the
waging of war, but will come partly
from a better appreciation of the
South on the part of the world at
large, while incalculably good results
will cnsuc from complete realiza-
ton of the final oblitcration of sec
tional animosity; for the extent to
which misconccption on this score
has initiated against Northern par
ticipation in the South's rehabilita
tion has never been quite realized
1t will also come in part from the
South's share in the revival Of trade
and the expansion of our commercial
activities as an outcome of tho quick
! cned national business life that has

as rapidly az tho capital and needed
skill can be supplied. Eventually it
will dominate the manufacture of fine
goods az we'll as coarse. The views SC
ably expressed recently by Mr.. d. A
Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. c., to tho
effect that low-priccd cotton, instead
of being a disadvantage to tho South
is not an unmixcd evil, since it pre-
vents the large development of cotton
growing in other countries and en-.
ablcs the South to maintain it's world
monopoly of this industry and causes
an increase of cotton consumption in
new fields as well as old, are worthy
of careful study by the South. In
many senses cotton is still king in
the worlds business affairs, and the
Importance to our country that the
South shall maintain and strengthen
it's dominating position in this staple
cannot be overestimated. | do not
recall any other instance where the
production of great staple of almost
universal consumption, the demand
for which must necessarily increase
year by year in proportion to the in.
crease of wealth and the progress
of civilization, is 80 completely
controlled by one section or even by
one country as is the case with the
South and its cotton. With the
cost of fertilizers constantly decreas-
ing by reason of the phosphate dis
coveries in Florida and Tennessee
with the spread of Intensive farm
ing and the consequent lower actual
cost of producing cotton, with the
improved methods Of handling this
staple from the gin to. the
mill now commanding general
investigation, with the introduction
of cylindrical baling, it is only rca-
sonable to hope that even if prices
continue as low as for several years
past the net profits to tho farmer
will be greater than in the past with
high prices. With this increased
consumption of the South's chiei
staple and the multiplication of in.
dustries for the utilization of this
and other resources likely to result
from movements which the war viii
start, there will be added to the
available wealth of those needing i,
most, viz, the land-owning classes
enough to contribute materially tC
the recoupmcnt of the losses caused
by the civil war.
"Coming to iron, believe it is
universally admitted that the South
is to-day making iron at a lower cost
than any other country in the world
and Alabama is now debating the
price in the worlds markets for pig

there is reason to hopo it is destined
to do in steel And Alabama in this

EnSlands supremacy III the worlds
affairs, it's vast shipping business
(almost exceeding our comprehen-
sion), its vast manufacturing indus
tries, have been mainly based upon
coal and iron end cotton. In these
thrco industries its supremacy has
passed this country controls them
and the South can take the lead over
any other section of this country.
"The field for expansion in the
development of Southern cotton, iron
and steel is as limitlcss as are the
worlds requirements for centuries
to come. But even this is not all.
One-half of the standing timber of
the United States is reported by the
United States authorities to be in
the South, and this .urnish a
basis for great wood working busi-
ness in evory Southern State. When
we come to agriculture we find that
the South is producing at tho present
time nearly $1,0O0,O0O,O00 worth of
agricultural products, although it has
as yet barely scratched the surface in
its agricultural development as COM
pared with what the future may be.
With the increase of manufacturing,
the creation of homo markets for
agricultural products, intensive farm
ing, the reduced cost of fertilizers,
the South seems to be preparing for
as radical change in it's agricultural
as it has accomplished in the last
ten years in its industrial advance
ment.
"Moreovor, when the situation is
studied, it is seen that the South
with its genial climate, its abundant
and even rainfall, its magnificent
rivers and great water powers, the
nearness of its ports to the product
i've centers of the West, furnishing
the most direct outlet to foreign
markets, presents a peculiar combi-
nation, one that / believe has no
parallel in the worlds history and
ono which am sure must have a
more far-reaching effect, not only
upon our own country, but upon the
world in general, than has yet been
fully grasped either by our Northern
friends or by tho people Of the South
themselves.
81 am sure that study of the
South's advantages will cause any
one to be more and more impressed
with the fact that there has been
centered in this region possibilities
for tho creation of wealth, for the
development of enormous industrial
enterprises and great shipping inter
csts and for profitable agriculture,
that cannot be duplicated 10 any
other equal area Oil earth. / all,
sure that as these facts are moro and
more impressed upon the people of
the North and of Europe, now that
every trace of sectionalism has been
blotted out by the war, those who
have held aloof from that section
because of the sectional question,
will sec that in this favored land are
mequalled opportunities for the dis
play of energy and for the develop
ment of business suoh rs can be
found nowhere else. The develop
ment and enrichment of tho South
mean greater prosperity to tho North
and West, the expansion of our COM
mercial power and vast strengthen
ing of the dominating influence of
the Anglo.Saxon on the worlds
future. For we have now entered a
new period in the worlds affairs.

the commanding position that our

our great financial and business insti-
tutions are to play tho leading part
in the control of the ever expanding
trade and commerce of the whole
world. The very magnitude of our
great institutions and their splendid
management, acquired through years
of training, fit them now to enter
into the struggle for the worlds
trade, and 80 we see that the policy
of combination and consolidation,
which is but the working out of ali
inexorablo economic law, has put us
in position to enter the markets of
Europe and Asia as % power to be
reckoned with To the extent that
the South appreciates this and takes
advantage of its opportunities, will
be it's share in the rapidly growing
wealth creating trade.
"Coming back, however," said Mr.
Edmonds, "of course, the fact that
our country as nation will more
and more attract attention, greatly
strengthens the South's position. 1t
has been well said that no other
country, no other age in the worlds
history, can show such progress in
the creation of wealth and such
widespread prosperity among tho
people as the United States. Our
natural resources, greater than those
of all Europe combined, have only
been touched OIL the edge, the out
crops, 80 to speak; while in England
and some countries of continental
Europe, the cost of production in
nearly all industries is increasing
because of decreasing supplies of
material and their consequently in
creasing cost. With us the cost of
production is decreasing day by day,
and we open up our richer regions to
capital and labor. We have more
than half the railway mileage of the
world and water transportation by
sea, by rivers and by lakes, and have
only to adjust our varied productions
of tho farm, the factory and tho
mine, to right proportions, in older
to permit unlimited increase in
wealth and prosperity. We have the
material, with every natural condi-
tion for making it useful in the
highest degree; we have over &c.,
100000 people to work it up; we
have the skill, intelligence, industry,
thrift and enterprise to carry on
work on q scale mover dreamed of
in any other country or ago. The
ability of the American people to
adapt themselves to the wolk in
hand, to catch on has long been
proven to be superior to that of any
other people. The results they have
| attained in the creation Of wealth,
comfort and progress ara entirely
without parallel in the histo tory of the
world. What they have done and
are doing is the best guarantee of
what they can do.
"With an area equal to that of all
Europe, and natural resources far
grc"ter, with homogeneous popu-
latlon working under common laws,
we must in time exceed, not What
combined Europe has, but what she
might have had if she had been from
the start a single country, working
in harmony, instead of divided into
score of natioYs with artificial and
unnatural boundaries, and still worse,
divided by language, laws, preju-
dices and old grudges, and wasting
their energies and resources in wars
and in standing armies. @

THE EXPANDING SOUTH.

sources==lts Population o5 Per
Cent Native Born

Richard II. Edmonds, editor Of
the Baltimore Manufacturers Re-
cord, persistent and painstaking
exponent of Southern affairs, is now
in Now York, and, being asked for
his views on the subject, talked last
night with much earncstness and
vigor about the benefits the South
ought to reap from the coming cX-
pansion of American influence in the
worlds commerce. He said :
In my opinion the most striking
result of the present war has been
the farrcaching advertisement which
it has given to America, the Amcri.
can people and American institutions.
1t has brought about deeper and
wider recognition cf what the sturdy
civilization, which we might denomi-
nate IA American Anglo-Saxonism,
nc,,rls TO mankind 1t has broad
cncd and doeponcd the patriotism of
our own people and given us fresh
conception of tic yirility and
strength of our country; it has
shown us as nothing else could have
done that patriotism is not confined
either to the rich or to the poor,
either to the North or to the South,
but that all classes and all sections
are alike in their devotion to their
country and in their readiness to
sacrifice even life for it's honor. 1t
has focused upon America the search
ing eyes of widc-awake men looking
for fields for enterprise and invest
ment--folds in which tho rights and
possessions of the individuals are
safeniartlcd TO the utmost and where
social, industrial and commercial
possibilities exist in the greatest num-
Der.
"ifrom this general advertisement
Of our entire country the South
ought to be able to receive the
greatest benefits, and these benefits
will be in proportion to the growing
appreciation in which the civilizing,
safeguarding force which we call
Anglo-Saxo' In, standing, as it does,
for aggrcssiveness tempered by fair
play, is upheld and lived up to by
tho people of that section and in
proportion to tho energy displayed
by thom in the development of their
resources. In this respect the South,
am sure, will do its part, as over 95
per cent of its people arc American
born.
