Southland, and for the enterprising,
wide-awake, capable young men OF
the South.
This address was made by perhaps
the best posted man in the world,
along this particular line; and It Is
worth any mans while to read after
a man who has given such intelligent
thought and research to so important
subject. And it was prepared for
business men, and, of course, abounds
in facts and figures, and not in flow
srs and rhetoric. 1t will give to ev-
cry man who reads 1t not only a more
proper understanding, but a higher
appreciation of the South and a wider
vision of the future of the South. No
young Southerner can read it with
out thrill of pride for the land dear
est Of all lands, the land of his birth,
or without gratitude that he came in
to the world just in the nick of time
to garner the marvellous wealth which
a benificent creator has slowed away
in the bowels of the earth, and which

Henry Clews, head of the big bank
ing and brokerage house of New York,
recently posted a bulletin in his office
concerning the welfare of the United
States" in which he essayed to be
funny. "a dark lady in Tennessee
recently gave birth to six blackies."
he says. Henry Clews, who thinks
himself great financier, and imagines
himself capable of telling the peo-
pie of the South how much cotton they
ought to plant, and when and at what
price to sell it, talking about dark
ladies" and little blackies;" hasn't
sense enough to call a negro a negro;
showing that he hasn't as much sense
as half the negroes of the South have.

those got-rich-quick magnates of the

RESOURCES
OF THE SOUTH.


Mr.. Richard H. Edmonds, editor OF
the Manufacturers Record, delivered
an address to the Virginia Bankers
Association, at Old Point, Va, June
IA, which every Southern boy and
man, and woman, too, should read. 1t
is too long to publish in one issue of
a newspaper of this size; but it is so
full of such valuable information, that
we have decided to publish it by in
stallments, beginning today. It win
require three or four installments; but
every line of it is worth reading; and
as a whole it is so replete with infor-
maton the young men of the South
need to know, that we wish to make an
appeal to them to read it; and like
wise an appeal to our older readers
to assist us in having our young men
read it. 1t is worth more than a
months schooling to any young man
who will read it now, and put it away
and read it again a month from now,
and so on every month for year or
so.
The young men of the South do not
know they do notuearly begin to real
lie, what "a land OF milk and honey"
they are living in, and what marvel
ous possibilities are in store for the

THE forces of right" says the Mem
phis News-Scimitar, are so rapidly of
ing the agencies of wrong that those
who wish to acquire knowledge (and
the ultimate end of all knowledge is
the equipment for doing good hardly
need anything else than the daily
newspapers, and thus keep us with the
progress of events towards the per-
feet day. The only exception to this
limitation in reading may be with the
specialists in the sciences or arts.

Russell Sage, it is said, was never
known to do but one charitable deed,
and that was a comparatively small
one, and was done after his wife had
begged him for twelve long months.
Think of man living 80 years and
having millions of dollars at his CON-
mand, and being so ignoble as to do
but one unselfish act and all the while
not knowing how mean he was. The
trouble with Uncle Russell was that
his conscience died some sixty or sew
enty or eighty years before the breath
left his body.

Some of the Hon. NJ. R. Patterson
best friends and supposed leaders are
supporting independent candidates for
the county offices, against the regular
Democratic nominees, and in so doing
are doing Mr.. Patterson more harm
than any enemy be has in the county
can do him, They seem to forget that
November comes after August. and
that it is human nature to retaliate.
Can tney be so foolish and unreason-
able as to think that after they have
supported independent candidates for
county Offices In Auguest, they can ap-
ply the party lash, or appeal to any
body in the name of the party, to sup
port Mr.. Patterson in November, as
party nominee? Mr., Patterson should
read some of his friends in Maury
a lecture on consistency.

Memphis News-Scimitar:

Memphis News-Scimitar: Tom
Johnson has struck at precedent
and overridden the courts decree in
his determination as mayor of Cleve-
land to control the street car situation.
The success of a man who attempts
this and the ultimate verdict for or
against him depend upon how strong
he is and the rectitude of his pur-
poses. The people will forgive a man
for violating orders if he achieves
benefcially for them. A general will
forgive his subordinate officer who VIC
lates an order if the violation results
in good to the army, and was actuated
by good faith.

the cause of any particular men, but
we do agree with Democrat" in this
statement; that the time has come, in
the history of the Democratic party,
when it must put forward clean candi-
dates; men with clean private lives,
broad intelligence, integrity of char
acter; men who cannot be bought;
men of courage. In view of the pres
ent condition of political affairs in
Tennessee, if the party does not put
forth the right kind of men, they GER

we believe large majority-of Dem
ocrats of this county favor the extern
sion of the Adams law to Columbia.
If they do they should so instruct their
representatives. And instruct them
not only to vote for such law, but to
vote to pass it over the Governors
veto, if the Governor should see fit
to veto it. The temperance question
should be made clean, clear-cut is
sue in the legislative race, and any
candidate who declines to make
known his views on the question,
should be counted on the whiskey side.

temperance people. 1t is up to them
What will they do with it? Apt as
not they will sit idly by until the cards
are stacked against them, then rant
and rave and abuse the machine;
when, as a matter of fact, the fault
is all theirs if they do not name the
men and carry this county and this
senatorial district for the extension
of the Adams law not only to Column
bia, but to every town or city in the
State, big and little.
The Herald is willing and anxious
to do it's part. But, as has been prov
en- many times heretofore, the Her
aid can only do its part; it cannot do
the part of others; and unless others
do their part, the whiskey men will
select the representatives from this
county to the next Legislature.
Now is the time for action. What are

viduals going to do about it? Do you

A few paused. looked for a mo-

head, and hurried on. Grandpa
needed them not, for he was alb
sorbed in thought. Later he
arose, entered the house and &C.
costing his wife said: ''Ma, we'll
go to church in the morning"
She replied: "Why pa, everybody
will stare at us and think we've
forgotten our boy Grandpa
answered: "Be that as it may,
ma, tomorrow we must remember
and praise Him who has gone to
prepare home for His children.
We have forgotten Him."
The morning was bright, clear
and inviting; nature had donned
her brightest hues; the birds were
singing in the tree-tops; the church
bells we're pealing-all seemingly
calling men to worship. Indeed,
the large church was filled when
an elderly couple entered. passed
down the aisle and entered their
pew, the first time, on Easter
morning, for years. )

man in a soldiers uniform with

the spot where they went down.
If the duck is badly wounded it
will come up in easy range, but if
it merely has the tip of the wing
broken, it generally takes some
time to get good shot at it.
After the first dive the duck al
ways lies fiat on the water, and
the hunters success lies in keep
ing it under water as much as pos
sible. At first it takes deep dives,
swimming closer to the surface at
each dive until it makes rifle
that can be easily followed. It
tries all manner of tricks, such as
turning under water and coming
|iup in an unexpected direction,
and sometimes not coming up at
all. However, one can determine
the direction it has taken if one
arrives on the spot where it went
down quickly enough, by the row
of bubbles caused by the air es-
Gaping from the feathers. When
it gets tired and water-soaked it
will make for shore where it tries
to hide and is finally caught.
The writer has never seen 9
canvasback seek safety by going
to shore. They are the most diff
ficult to capture of any duck with
which 1 am familiar. They
also command the best price in
the market. It is common be-
lief among hunters that when q
canvasback gets tired. it dives to
the bottom, catches root or weed
with it's bill or feet, and never lets
go. But I don't believe this to
be true. I was chasing one that
just had the tip Of it's wing broken.
It kept up the game for about
four hours. When it took it's
| final dive-it was in about three
