TRIBUTE TO SOUTHERN TEN AND
r1ONEY.

Nix. John SHELTON Williams stated
in one Of his addresses during his
recent trip that 1.-The completion OF
the Seaboard Air Line System marks
the financial independence of the
Southern people. We owe not a cent
to the bankers of Philadelphia or
New York. The people Of the South
have made the Seaboard Air Line. 1t
was not made By any one man or set
OF men.
This is certainly gratifying, not in
any way as objecting to capital from
New York. Philadelphia or elsewhere,
but because it emphasizes the reha-
Utilization as well as financial independ-
cnce Of our own South and its ability
to establish large undertakings. The
capital from the North or elsewhere
is welcomed by our people, but 1T IS
none the less an occasion for local
pride to feel that our own people are
at least in a condition to start big
business on their own account.
The Richmond Times, commenting
on this statement, adds:
The contamination OF the Greater
Seaboard scheme is a monument to
Southern energy, enterprise and business
sagacitv. and the SOuth's confidence in
itself 1t shows what the South can ac-
complish III and OF herself, and Mr. Viii

TRADING AT HOME.

The application of the princi pies OF
reciprocity should be made in every
town that is ambitious of attaining
prosperity. The mechanic or laborer
who lives in q town, and who is
dependent on the people of that town
or community for employment and
who spends his money in another
city, has no right to complain if his
neighbor refuses to employ him, but
instead imports workman from
some other locality to build his house,
lay his wall or paint his barn as the
case may be.-Erchonge.
Yes, and the merchant or store
keeper who ignores his townsman in
different line of business when he
wishes to make a purchase, and goes
from home to trade, is not entitled to
the least consideration from the peo-
pie of his town. 1t is the duty OF
every person residing in community
to as far as possible reciprocate the
many benefits which the community
has conferred upon him. and the in
| dividual who fails in this regard is
not endowed with that public spirit
which characterizes a good citizen -
