THE SOUTH THE MEET WEST.

or all the corners of this great and
beautiful land of America, l confess per-
haps the greatest fondness for that cor
ner which is least known, the portion of
the United States south of the Ohio rive.
Did l call this Il portion of the United
States? Politically it is not So but that
is not the fault of tho South but of tho
North. 1t always seemed to me. in that
spirit of boyhood love of fair play which
brought from the battle grounds of the
little red school house, that after a fellow
was whipped and had hollered Enough, -
he ought to be allowed to get up We
whipped the South took her surrender
and then brutality never allowed her to
get up again. Politically, we have kept
the South out of the United States just
so far as we could. We have imposed
conditions which the South could not
accept and live. We have asked hor tc
come in and sit at our table, but we have
looked the front door and hidden the key
and left the South out in the cold. not q
real part of tho United States And yet
here is one of the dearest. sweetest and
noblest parts of all our country. Here is
the very place where the old Americansn
| exists to-day-the only place And if w,
do not know the South, not nearly SO wei
as Davy Crockett did after his journey
| through the wilderness places. more is tn,
shame and pity for us.
As the Southern States have been thl
last home of the genuine Americansm-
Just rs they We're the original and natura
home for gentle living-so they hay,
