\ SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEsT.

Is there man in the South to-day,
asks the Nashville American, who can
see far enough into the future to pre-
dict what time aud brain and Drawn
will make of this section of the Union?
How many Southerners of the present
day realize the rapldity with which
the South is increasing in population,
in wealth and in those essentials
which go to make country happy and
prosperous?
Less than forty years ago the South
was the theater of the greatest var
of modern times. It was IN ruins so
to speak, with thousands of its bravest
and best sleeping in soldiers grave,
and other thousands almost WITHOUT
the necessarles of life.
At one swoop 1000, OO0, 900 worth of
property had been destroyed.
This was the value of the sales at
the beginning of the struggle. But this
was not all. There were hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of other pro-
perty which had been swept away. In
short, what was once a most prosper
Gus and wealthy section of the con-
federation of States was bankrupt.
Look at the South to. day with it's
5000, 100000 to $500, 100000 worth of
cotton each year; with its thousands
of miles of railroads; with its vast coal
and iron mines; with its immense
timber interests, and thousand other
wealth producing agencies, agricul-
turaI and industrial.
Is there another country on the globe
that could have shown such marvellous
advancement in the face of obstacles
that seemed impossible forty years
ago?
The South is the garden spot of the
Republic, and it is destined to be one
of the very richest portions of the
world. The country that can secure
$70O, 000 year from one crop alone
cannot fail to accumulate riches al
NEST beyond computation.
Come South, young man, for here
health, wealth and fame await you.

THE PRIDE OF GEORGIA

All Georgia is proud of the success
of Lewis Crumley Gregg of Atlanta.
This distinguished young artist has
made himself famous throughout the
entire country. AS a cartoonist he
stands foremost among the southern
men who have cheered the world with
the delights of their pen, and the fine
conceptions of their brain and mind.
To Editor Clark Bowel belongs
much of the credit of the grand de-
velopment of the superior talents of
Artist Gregg. His cartoons which
have appeared in the Constitution
from time to time have met with such
favor that the printer and binder have
combined talents, and the result is
q volume at once elegant, chaste and
unique in its entire get mp. The
T1mes-Recorder congratulates The
Constitution and Mr.. Gregg. All
Georgia will show her appreciation
ofthis splendid work by procuring a
copy of his elegant book which should
be a treasured souvenir.

THE VOICE OF TRUE DEMOCRACY

Hon. E. B Lewis, the able Congress
man and staunch democrat of the third
district, is always alive to every issue
which involves the safety of his party,
and sends out the following strong
and ringing appeal to the voters
urging them not to neglect their duty
on election day. The Times Recorder
joins Mr.. Lewis and prays that every
good democrat will lay aside personal
interest Oh Nov 8th, and help to make
the grand old third Congressional
District the banner district Of Georgia.
Mr. Lewis says:
'fTo the Democrats Of the Third Con-
gressionsI District: The date of the
Presidential election is near at hand,
and L recognize the fact that we have
all been deeply and busily engaged in
the gathering and marketing of our
crops and business affairs and possibly
some will overlook the time and fail
to attend the election, therefore, urge
every one of you to go to the polls on
Tuesday, November the 8th, and cast
your vote for Parker and Davis
'By reason of our primary system we
loose interest in the regular election,
as shown by the very snail vote cast
at the recent state election when only.
seventy thousand votes were polled
out of two hundred and seventy-eight
thousands white voting population
in the state.
"This indifference on the part of the
Democrats works an injustice to the
party, and may at some future time
result in great injury. The Republl-
can majority IN each Congress offer
bills and agitate the passage of
measures to reduce the Southern
representation in Congress, always
urging as one of the reasons the very
light vote received by the Southern
members.
''Then this indifference on the part
of the Democrats invites and encour-
| ages opposition from opposing parties;
therefore, for our party to always be
strong it is wise to be aggr essive and
cast full vote at each election.
ST am glad to say there is no opposi-
ton in the Congressional race, but
the Presidential election is at the sam e
time, and we are now receiving most

fatterlng news from the doubtful
Eastern and Western states.
SIN fact, the prospect daily grows
brighter for the triumphant election of
Parker and Davis, and I urge upon
every Democrat in the district to go
to the polls on November 8.h, and
cast their vote, demonstrating their
love and loyalty to Democracy, which
advocates and stands for the noble
principals, equal rights to all, special
privileges to none. Respectfully
yours" E. B. LEWIS.

broken out with blisters and was covered
