great South, it bears upon it the i'm
press of its birthplace and environ
ment. For more than twenty five
years the Sunny South has been
recognized factor in the field Of
| Southern literature. 1t was estab-
| lshed more than a quarter of cen
fury ago as a Southern story paper
and was published for n long time as
a weekly and then as monthly.
About one year ago the paper
passed under new management, and
IN less than year it has jumped
from circulation of IL, 900 to nearly
10000. The first thing the new man.
agement did was to make 1t weekly

nifty cents per year-less than one
cut an issue-and then infuse into its
columns all the enterprise and liter
airy ability that money could COM
