~. relatively, than any other sect1 or
TIA Young mon who are to take the helm
I mean not the young man VINO IS oouI-

knows the thing which Me IS so'ns -
attempt to do"
The Southern Railway Company Is q
live, progressive corporation, and has done
rrcat deal to develop the country
through which its extensive lines pass.
nut Mr.. Spencer knows that the great
est asset, Of the South are its young men.
we may have our railroads and our
factories: we may have our fine agri-
cultural lands and our rich mineral re-
sources. but unless we have the right sort
Of mon to operate the railroads and the
factories and to develop the LANDS and ana ana
the mines we shall be poor.
AWAY with the false idea that there
is no CHANCE in the South for youns
man, There is better chance in the
South for the active, energetic, tntelli-
cent and educated young man than ever
hafore in tho history of the South, than
In any other section of tho country. There
is a better, opportunity In the South be-
cause the South Is developing along new
lines and has more opportunities for de-
yelopmont than other sections. There Is
a fine chance for the young men OF the
South in agriculture IL they will only
train themselves for that line Of work
II they will only educate themselves to
be farmers, to understand scientific farm
ine to understand soils and fertilizers
and the growth OF plants and the business
OF growing and marketing crops. we
wish that more OF our young men would
educate themselves for this branch OF
Industry. It is promising and tt is en-
noblng.
There IS also fine chance for the
Young men OF the South In the indus
trial world, in railroading and manufac G.
turing. The young man in the soutf
who will tit himself to be a farmer OF
railroad man or q manufacturer vii
be sure to find profitable employment
without running away from home W.
commend to all our young readers thu
sensible and encouru ging words Of Presl
dent Spencer. They should be an insplra
ton to every Southern boy
