The novel of life in the Southern States is one
| of the recent developments of American fiction.
A number of such novels have recently been
| published. several of which have met with
sidera BILE success the cause Of which, apart from
| the skill of the writers in telling story, may
be found in the exploitation of state of
| ciety, a mode of life and a kind of surround
| ngs unfamiliar to the great and growing public
| that buys novels in the Northern and Western
| States. The result has been an abnormal
stimulation of the impulse to authorship in the
South reaching in many cases to quarters
where the desire to purchase is not matched by
the training, experience ability to write
story. The sudden access of manuscripts from
below Mason and Dixons line brought forth
lament the ether day from man whose duty
it is to read such offerings sent to of the
publishing houses here that has recently brought
out more than one Southern novel. II wish
something could be done stop this flood that
is now pouring in upon us he observed. 1T is
due, l suppose. to the recent success of n num-
ber of such stories. and to the spread of gen.
eral impression that American stories with a
! strong local color are now the coming thing
! They will soon get to be all pervading the
