THE SOUTH NOT CONSIDERED.

In summing up the situation result
ing from the recent presidential cleo
ton the Birmingham Ledger we'll says
that we of the South have no friend
north of the Mason and Dixon line.
The people of the north, it says, are not
our enemies. They simply do not
consider us at all. Our fears do not
even interest them There is so little
money and SO little "business" in the
south that the north votes and buys
and sells without even considering
US. We are no more 10 this govern
ment than Panama. We pay to sup
port it. We get few Federal ffices,
but we have no influence at Washing
ion. "We are not IN it." In the fu-
ture when attacks are made on our
social and civil institutions, we have
to rely on the great corporations who
own our Industries and to the capital
lists who own our, bonds. to save the
south from anarchy. There is no
other appeal and these people are
strong enough to call eff the attacks,
because they will have a financial
interest in doing so. There will be
no great persecution because the
financial and industrial interests will
not permit that villaing. To this have
we come at last thai we must appeal to
our creditors and the business inter
ssts to see that the days of r, construc-
ton are not recalled This protec-
ton is sure one and we can go on
with our business assured that, while
ou', we are not at the mercy of enemies.

a FERTILE FIELD is THE SOUTH.

The South has a great deal to offer
those who, regardless of party sffilia-
tion, W il cast their fortunes here. The
s, hern people are as loyal to the
Government and to American institu-
tons as those of any her part of the
Union and believe that no matter
what certain elections may decide, the
future of the country is assured aud
that is destiny is to become the most
progrt ssive, intelligent and influential
Nation, and that people will ever
be The freest and happiest on the face
of the globe.
The South should al once call the
attention of the world to it's unrlvall-
ed natural resources, its fertile soil, its
healthful cl mate, the comparative
cheapness of manufsc uring and cost
of living, and illustrate each subject
in such manner that even h. that
runs may read.
When the outside world reasons
what we have to offer to capital and
immigration and understands the
large and certain profits TO be obtained
in developing our resources, we will
have host of newcomers and millions
of capital entering a field bristling
with magnificent opportunities for
men of ability and all who are ready
to work.
To the iron maker and coal miner
we can show immense beds of iron
ore and coal so close together thatiron
and steel can be made at the lowest
possible cost, and coal which is I'M
surpassed IN quality tor all purposes.
To the manufacturers of funiture,
cars and building material of all kinds
we can point to the greatest pine and
hard wood forest known to the world,
while to the sgrlculturist and cotton
manufacturer we can offer unequaled
opportunities
The South stands ready to welcome
all who come VITA the intention of de-
veloping her resources and hasten a
development which promises to be q
greater ne than any which now exists
elsewhere, and which will be the
browning glory Of the next quarter Of
century on the North American
continent.
