The following para graph, taken
from a speech on the "Poverty
of the South,' by Judge Robert
Lowry Of Mississippi, is very sug-
gestlve: "The reason Of our pow
erty is not hard to find. Take
our average citizen. He gets up
IN the morning and pulls on
pair of socks from Lynn, Mass,
puts on a pair of shoes from Bos-
ton, suit of clothes from Phila-
delphia; goes into his breakfast,
draws up a chair made in Chica-
go, and eats from a table which
came from Cincinnati; sweetens
his coffee from Rio with sugar
from Louisiana, takes a slice Of
ham cured IN St. Louis, and but
teiS a biscuit of Minnesota flour
with oleomargerine which came
from the Lord knows where: he
eats SOutA Carolina or Louisa ma
rice, and even the very grits upon
his table were ground IN some
Northern mill. He goes to mis-
sta bic and puts set of harness
from St. Louis on mule from
Kentucky; bitches it to a wagon
from Illinois, and rides over to his
neighbours, and complains of hard
times. OF course times are hard
when everything people eat,
drink, wear and drive came from
somewhere else, and only the at
mosphere he breathes is a home
institution. We believe in pat
rOnlZing home industries as far
as possible. That would help
along very far towards securing
better times.

guest, "l'd give five hundred
