Advantages Found In
The Southern States.
Opportunities Which Young Men
Here Have Over Any Other
Country on Earth.

Col. J. B. Killebrew says in the
Southern Farm Magazine: The
young men of the South are its
richest treasures. They are the
keys that unlock its destiny. They
are the independent functions up
on which depend all other functions
of organized society. In their hands
the prosperity or poverty of their
fatherland rests. Their obligation
in this particular is paramount to
every other material duty. In its
proper discharge lie their own hap
piness and prosperity. A life of
frivolity and dissipation is often
the result of having no fixed pur-
pose, and a fixed purpose comes
from educational effort. A boy who
prepares himself for specific work
will generally pursue that work,
while if he is not qualified by edu-
cation or training for the perfor-
nance of any profitable work, he
too often wastes his life in fitting
from one pursuit to another, and
proving
"a youth of follies; an old age of care;
Young, yet enervate; old, yet never
wise -
No people or nation ever had so
many hattering prospects before
them as the Southern people now
enjoy. Let me briefly enumerate
few of these:
1. They occupy a land more
fruitful and with soils more YER
satile than are found in any other
civilized country. Its agriculture,
therefore, should be the most flour
ishing, and it has the capacity to
feed five times the present pupula-
ton in the South.
, 1t has most healthful climate,
without which the most fertile soils
lose much of their value.
,. Two of its agricultural pro-
ducts, cotton and tobacco, give en-
ployment to larger number. of
persons than any other agricultur-
al products grown in any other
country.
1. The South has a coal field that
covers 1900 square miles of work
able coal, thus assuring the most
inexhaustible supply of mineral
fuel for all industrial and domestic
purposes.
.. The South has large deposits
Of iron ore in nine Of the fourteen
States OF every known useful varie-
" and in very large quantities.
Is. With coal and iron ores in
close proximity, the South is able
to compete with any portion of the
world in the production of cheap
iron and steel, the products that
measure most accurately the degrees

that accepts victory with modera-
ton and meets temporary defeat
with equanimity, but in an over
throw of its purposes it has that
mysterious enduring and sustaining
power that makes even this a pre-
cursor of ultimate victory.
The Southern negro is the highest
and most useful type of his race,
and under the guidance of the
southern planter he has become a
most important factor in the COM
MERGE OF the world.
Now, when all these resources are
considered and all these boundless
opportunities taken into account it
may be easily seen what lies before
the Southern boys. They should
prepare themselves to make use of
all these measureless possibilities.
Are they cognizant of the great
duties that await them? Are they
faniliarizing themselves with those
vast industrial but undeveloped
fields of endeavor that must soon
come int their possession? Is the
fact sufficiently clear to their COM
prehension that they must soon be
masters and directors of the most
splendid heritage ever bequeathed
to man, or they must become the
subordinates in a region where
their ancestors were the dominating
force? The outlook is unmistak-
able. Either the young men of the
South must qualify themselves to
take hold of and push the great
work before them or they will bring
about a sectional abasement. They
will show themselves unworthy of
the past history of the South and
lacking in the great virtues of their
sires. The achievements of their
fathers will be obscured by the
weakness of their sons. Can the
young men of the South afford to
be put in this humiliating position?
If they decide that they cannot,
then all the energies of their minds,
their souls and their bodies should
be directed in preparing themselves
for the splendid industrial triumphs
to be won in the future.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1903-09-08
of civilization which a country

of civilization which a country
enjoys.
Z. The South, with its mountain
ranges and great rainfall, is sup
piled not only with navigable
streams, but the amount of water
power can scarcely be estimated.
Streams with rapid flow and falls
innumerable are met with in nearly
every State. This unused power
will at some future time be made,
through the mediation of electric
ity, to light our houses, cook our
food, drive our machinery, pillow
our fields, thresh our crops, as well
as act as messenger to convey
tidings of all that interests human
ity.
s. The South has a practical
monopoly of the phosphates of the
world. These exist in stratifed
deposits over hundreds of square
miles in Tennessee and cover a very
large territory in Florida in I'M
stratified beds. The recuperation
of the soils of every country is
dependent, in part, upon this rich
bounty of nature bestowed upon
the South.
8. The South has now the largest
supply of hardwood timber in the
United States, and this should lay
the basis for the manufacture of
numerous articles in which wood
enters in whole or in part as a
material.
10. The great rivers which tray
erse the South give a natural outlet
to the sea of large proportion of
its products. The railway lines
have been multiplied until there is
scarcely county in the South that
may not haverail or river transpor-
tation. If to these natural and
acquired means of transportation
be added the isthmian canal which
will be built in the near future the
South will be placed in touch with
all the countries Of the earth, upon
all of which it will levy It's demands
for its own enrichment and great
ness.
II. heeducational advancement
of the South is as rapid as one
could hope for under the circum-
stances. With great load of
black ignorance to carry, it has
been impossible for the Southern
people to do what they felt 10 be
necessary in order to develop the
great intellectual 7igor of its peo-
pie. But everywhere there is a
movement upwards along educa-
tional lines. This movement should
be manned and controlled by the
Southern people. No others have
the knowledge Of local environments
or know so well how to meet and
overcome the difficulties of such
surroundings.
y. The Southern white boys
should feel proud that they carry
in their veins the purest blood Of
the Anglo-Saxon race-a race that
now dominates the world; a race

high officials were present to witness
the maneuvers. General Cluet had won
his way by means of pull" rather than

1t was Gunga Gee. He was recognized
by thousands. and after one great shout

dozen troopers RODE to drive the man
back, but he motioned them away and
stood for a moment looking the general
in the eyes. Then he raised his hand
above his head and muttered something
and the people witnessed a thing I'M
paralleled. The general descended from
his horse, unbuckled and threw away
his sword and went through numerous
antics. He stood on his head, he rolled
lover and over. he moved about on his
hands and knees. and barked like dog.

be dazed, and hundreds of men rubbed
their eyes as if to clear them. The ma

another marvellous exhibition of the
powers of God. and they watched every
motion and hardly breathed-

him had been degra ded before all that

among his people and was swallowed up
in an instant, while the general contin-
ued his antics and was ieered by thous-
ands The spell was not broken until his
officers laid hands on him. when he al
once retired to his quarters and another
led the review. The affair, of course,
created a tremendous local sensation,
and for several days the fanatical ma
tives were ready for riot The gem
erals humiliation was complete, and
military circles were unit in agreeing
that his resignation must be rendered
to wipe out the disgrace. In a month
he was on his way home to England,
looked upon almost as Dariah.

fantry to preserve order. At the Jail
the fakir was loaded with irons and
put in the strongest cell. and sixteen
armed men stood between him and
liberty. Promptly at the hour named
the man appeared amidst the mob in
the street and was at once hustled
away When his cell was unlocked
his irons were found on the floor. He
had passed out of the cell and into
the street like a spirit.
If the reader is inclined to doubt
that this thing happened, he can find
CorrO5oration in the civil and military
records of Hydera bad. The natter de-
ified the fakir in the estimation of the
natives and the English became alarm
ed. Charges were preferred against
the guards, the Governor of the jain
lost his place, and it was pretended
that a conspiracy was unearthed. As
matter of fact. however, the affair
was a perfect mystery and could not
be explained in any other way but to
credit Gunga Gee with supernatural
powers. Notwithstanding that large
reward was offered, the fakir was not
recaptured, and he went into hiding
somewhere and the excitement finally
died ont.

mean a cheat or a fraud but is an

carry out certain vows. OF all the ia

and 1870 Gunga Gee, of the province of

He was a holy man and one who did
strange things. Having caused the

out certain things. One OF them was

AND STOOD FOR A MOMENT LOOK
ING THE GENERAL IN THE EYES.

In the line Of jugglery Gunga Gee
could do wonderful things and the
English were awed. and the natives
made afraid. One day he gave an ex,
hibition in the suburbs of Eyderabad
and performed such wonderful feats
that General Cluet, commander of the
military post, decided to imprison him
and destroy his prestige He was
charged with being a vagrant and a
nuisance and dragged off TO jail, and
after he had been locked up for a cou~
pie of days he was offered his liberty
if he would leave the province.
He refused and was defiant. II is
quite likely that ne would have been
shipped out of the country on some
pretext or other but for what soon
happened
In some mysterious way word got
out that on certain hour of certain
day Gunga Gee would leave his prison
in spite of his guards. and when the
time arrived 5000 natives were gath
cred in the streets. General Cluet
had turned out four regiments of in
