THE YOUNG MAN AND THE
 SOUTH.

H E. Harman. whom the At lanta Constitution says is the plo- neer in trade journalism in the South, and man whose proved success gives him undeniable cred ibility as a witness, had this to say in a signed article in recent is sue of that great Southern jour- nal with regards to what the South offers the ambitious young man:
 After twenty years of practical experience in making my own way in life and during that time watch ing the opportunities offered in the South for young men who must care for their own fortunes, am fully convinced that the South to- day offers more to the young man than any other section of this country has ever offered.''
 Pursuing this same subject and without breaking thread of the theme, Mr. Harman says:
 And I say this not from prejudices or from a local view point, for during these twenty years my constant travelling all over the eastern half of this coun- try, so that l have come in touch with the keenest business men and watched closely the chances for success in other sections"
 following this statement of MT. Harman up, the Constitution con- tends that the incessant and intel ligent prosecution of such com mon sense propaganda can be made one of the most valuable factors in the development of Georgia and the South-not alone from the standpoint of foreign, but of do- nestle immigration as we'll, and the investment of capital in this section.
 The Constitution assumes that there are thousands of Southern business men who have encount- cred experiences and enjoyed op- portunities for personal observa- ton similar to those to which Mr. Harman bears testimony.
 And in all this MT. Harman and the Constitution are pminently correct.
 AS a young mans and an old mans and a middle-aged mans country, the South is without a rival in all this broad universe.

No one can complain that the peo pie are not interester in great nation al, even international questions. In the campaign in the eighth Congress district of Virginia, the principal is- sue is whether this country should sell the Philippine islands. It is to be hoped that this question so vital to the interests of that district, will not be permitted by the party to embroil the country in war.

A hint to the wise is supposed to be sufficient. We want to see if the merchants of the country will take this straight-from-the-s e-shoulder from the Round Rock Leader: Tt is a we'll known fact that mail order houses direct their special efforts to communities where the merchants are not up-to-date advertisers. If they find a business in any town or city not well advertised they flood that territory with their literature and al ways with satisfactory results. The only way for the country merchant to cripple this octopus is to advertise. To advertise properly one should de- scribe the article and name the price.
 Bluff merchants should take. The Graphic can assert as a fact tha; those loudest in their complaints about the mail order houses" in this city are people who do not Cor at least very seldom), advertise in their local newspapers. It is as natural for people to patronize the merchant who advertises and offers special bargains as it is for duck to take tt water. The merchant who depends on his street sign to sell his goods will find that the people are looking for something a little more lively.

LOCAL SELF. GOVERNMENT.

Local self-gOvernment, the right of every people to govern tham- selves according to their own free and untrammeled will, is right of all free peoples and is an attribute of sovereignty.
 The Richmond Times Dispatch puts the question tersely, as fol- lows:
 Local self-government is a fun damental ill democracy. It en- courages the people to take care of themselves and their own affairs, instead of looking to Washington for protection.
 No manly man will saddle his burdens and responsibilities upon another. That is the habit of weak lings. Neither will a Jeffersonian state shift it's burdens and responsi- bilities to Washington. The na- tional government has it's functions also. Each should look after it's own affairs, and there should be no conflict. The states are worth everything or they are worth noth- ing. If the government in Wash ington is to regulate all things we might as we'll abolish state lines. But if we are going to preserve the states, let us preserve every rig..t and prerogative which was reserved to them in the beginning, Thus far and no farther"
