Small Means.
The South Is emphatically section
for the man Of small means, says the
Southern Field. Indeed, 1t is not I'M
usual to hear the criticism made that
the problem of comfortable living Is too
easily solved-that the ease with which
competency is acquired in the South
operates as a brake upon ones energies
and serves to retard material growth.
OF course. the answer to this is fur
nished by the South itself; In tne In
dubitable statistics assembled from au-
thoritative sources through which the
public is kept Informed Of the actual
progress being made by the several sec
tions Of the Union statistics which
show that the South Is the most pros
porous part Of the country to-day.
The largest factor In this prosperity
Is the man Of small means-the man
who has established small factory:
a factory which soon becomes a large
one-a small mercantile business Of
has purchased q small tract OF land and
