1t is at once social and individual.
The progress of humanity has been a
continuous initiation of the individual
into larger and more complex social
circles, and a parallel intenSification
of his individuality. From one point
OF view the individual has become
socialized; from another point of view
society has become individualiZed.
And these two points of view present
aspects of one and the same process
TO illustrate this, let us note briefly
the difference between primitive and
modern society In the earlier stages
of mans history the individual was a
part only Of his clan or tribe; outside
of his clan or tribe he had practically
no social relations. Jew and Gentle,
Greek and Barbarian were sharply
differentiated from each Other; and
the individual belonged to one or the
other OF these classes, not to both.
Under these circumstances individual
ity was TO all intents and purposes
ciety of which he was part, a society
very limited in its horizon, the individ-
ual was only so in name. The clan
or tribe was all important. the indi-
yidual was nothing; the social unit
was emphasized, the Individual re-
ceived only meager consideration

 Yorkville (S.C.) Enquirer.
 A wise old merchant of Y.orkville, the late M. Strauss, used to tell his clerks: Tt does not require salesman to sell A plug of tobacco. Anybody can do that. The sale Is already made in fact. The customer merely calls for the to- bacco and the salesman only takes the money. The real salesman is the man who can take up a useful article about which the customer knows nothing, point out it's merits and its value and make sale,
 There Is lots of valuable food for be applied with equal propriety to va rious other lines of endeavor. It does not take a farmer, for instance, to raise ten bushels of corn on fresh, new ground. Anybody can do that. The real farmer goes in for making from forty to sixty bushels of corn on com paratively poor land, and he does not think of stopping there. After raising the corn he goes in for saving and util- with the crop. The corn, fodder, shuclSs or stover. to hand, he does not want to sell them as raw materials, if instead he can put them through horses, mules, cows, hogs and pigs, and thus derive still greater value from them. The real farmer makes every move on the theory that he Is in the business for life. and along with products that are directly exchangeable for money values, he looks out for things that promise value in the future. The possibilities. open to the farmer-any farmer-are limited only by his industry, perseverance and capabilities.

Veto by Vice,

 The most important question before Alabama today Is whether any kind of a clerk who transcribes law is em- powered to veto all acts of the Legis- iature and the State be. helpless to remedy it. When the King bill was mutilated a new crime was introduced into our legislative and executive rou- tine.
 A man deliberately mutilated a law after 1t had been legally passed and signed. and we are told that a subordi- nate clerk can veto any law he pleases and there is no remedy, that the Su- preme Court can only look at the clerk s. work and what the Legislature does is unimportant, in comparison.
 Is 1t the supreme law in Alabama that no matter what the Legislature and Governor may do a clerk can undo it and there is no remedy? Is 1t to stand that a law is not a law fl the transcrlbing clerk makes a mistake or if he deliberately mutilAtes a manu- script that Is perfectly legal?

But perhaps the best tribute of Colonel du Mont as a com mander is found in the affection of the officers who were under him and the conference and respect he engen- aered in the rank and file of the regi- ment he commanded. His technical Knowledge has been of value to the state on many occasions. and in miI- tary laws and customs he was admit ted to be the best authority in the state. The present efficiency of the First regiment and the high place it has taken in two encampments with regular troops at Chickainauga are due to the never-fafling interest and activity of Colonel du Mont during the ten years he has been in command of the regiment. The thanks of tho pub lie are due this officer for the manner in which he has performed a volunta- " duty

 The military establishment of Ala bama has lost its formost regimental commander in the { retirement of Robert B. du Mont, colonel of tn 1st regiment. It may be said that Colo mel du Mont was born and reared a soldier.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun opines that none but a Georgian could have written the following. which it finds in The Washington Herald.
 The one real. alI-sufiicient. uniyer- sal, ever-on-the-1ob gravy il tnis toned, time-honored and anciently approved ham gravy! Just as " ls, without one. plea-it knocks the spots erKs. eibiets', mushrooms truff1es, or whsf.not ever concocted anywhere or conceived ip the IT minds n kndwn S5 from the Sumbiest hovel to the lordliest palace, and everybody truthfully inclined VIII agree without comment.
 Our contemporary goes further and anirns that mot only did Georgian write 1t, but the gravy from Geor- gia hogs ham inspired it." Of course we are never surprised at any claim coming from Georgia. If it had been an Atiantian instead of Columbusite making the claim for Georgia it would have been declared that it was an Atlanta man who wrote The Herald article, and that the inspiration came from eating gravy made by an Atlanta cook from the ham of hog raised in that city.
 But while we have no desire to dis pute or deny the goodness of Georgia hams and the gravy therefrom we beg 4o assure our contemporary on the Chattahoochee that there are others" and they know all about good ham gravy as well as those over the river do. The main difficulty in the way of a general knowledge on the subject lies in the fact that good hams are not so easy to get as they once were. A good, country -cured ham is the fun damental requirement.; then cook who knows how to do the job and there you are-and you needn't neces- sarily live in Georgia, either.
 And when we speak of what is me- eessary as a foundation for this nc plus ultra of "sop" we might say that some things are not necessary. The cook books of these days add too many unnecessary things to some of the old- time dishes. Take johnnycake as fair example. We have seen a recipe for making it that adds eggs. milk. molasses and some other ingredients and then tell us to bake it on or ip e stove'
 bread of other days. All that was re- auIred was good coarse corn-meal, some salt and proper quantity of fresh and nice cracklings. Then spread the dough on a hickory or whiteoak board, stand 1t up in front of clean wood fire and let it bake. turning it as needed until 1t has a rich brown color and Is thoroughly cooked through-and there you are. You have a bread that would cause the downfall of the best vegetarian on earth.
 And 1t is so with various other foods that were good and very good wPen made as they made them in the past. but the Inodern addition of frills and frivoIities has spoiled, most of them. And we suspect that 1t Is so with the ham gravy. Some will add milk and flour-perhaps eggs-and when 1t comes to the table 1t would require an expert to tell what It Is made of, There are lots of people outside of Georgia who know how to make it, if they can get good ham to start with. and also how to enjoy it. Let not our brother across the Chatta- hooehe irnbide the idea that Georgians are the whole thinE,

THE GREAT POET.


 Today marks noted period in con- nection with American literature, for it Is the centenary of the most origi- nal and gifted writer this country has ever produced. We refer of course to Edgar Allan Poe, who was born in Boston January 19. 1909. but though born in that city he was of Virginia stock and thoroughly Southern in all his feelings and attachments. The South should love and honor him for what he was and wrote, and in Vir- ginia his birthday will be celebrated as 1t deserves and should be remem- bered.
 It is not necessary to write a his- tory of the life and character of Poe. for that has been written many times, not only by friends and admirers but by those who seem to have taken de- light in maligning and villifying him. With such as these we have no pa- tience. for they waited till the great poet was dead before they became his critics and detractors. Their hatred and envy can take nothing from his fame or abate one jot of the honor due him as writer, and which Is now coming to be recognized not only in his own land but in Europe as well. His faults should be allowed to rest with the dust in the grave and only his virtues and achievements remem- bered.
 Ii has always been difficult for even the most fair-minded to assign to Poe his proper position in American litera- ture, largely. perhaps. owing to the fact that his genius seems to have had a place of it's own, and one which is hard to classify or, in some cases, to understand. It was not only as a poet that he excelled, for some of his prose writings displayed a genius rarely equalled. It is not to be doubt ed that the mystery stories" of Conan Doyle and others like him had their foundation as to style, in Poe's writ ings. The Gold Bug" and 'The Mys- tery of the Rue Morgue" are two pro- auctions which we venture to say have not been excelled. and to them more than to anything else do we owe the style of fiction which Doyle and some others have made so popular Poe marked out the path and they fol- lowed.
 When we come to speak of Poe. the poet, there can be no difficulty IT placing him, for he belongs at the tor of American writers of verse We must judge him by the quality, not the quantity, of his productions. fol the quantity is comparatively limited He had but lately passed his fortiett year when he died. and no one car even imagine what he would have ac complished had years and favorable conditions been given him. If he haC been spared twenty or thirty year' longer and had those years been fret from poverty, privatlon and bitte cares, he would in all probability hav' placed himself alongside the greates I writers of modern times. What h. wrote was for the. most part writer under the most discouraging and em barrasslnR conditions. yet he, beyon'

 The man who broods over an exist ence merely eked out, and who faces penury and want as the shadows Iengthen, will surely back into some cage of refuge. He at last accepts a theory of desperation hurtful to him self, or embraces doctrine that makes him a dangerous social element. Why wonder over it?

ROBERT K. LEE.

' l Today Is the anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee. one of the truly great men of all history, and the Iustre of whose fame grows more brilliant with each year. In no age, in no time, in no country has there been paid the honor and the tribute to the leader of defeated cause that has been sincerely and spontaneously paid to Lee. The world reserves it's tributes and its laurels for the man who wins, But to Lee who was ulti- mateIy overwhelmed by superior force and numbers 1t pays its tributes and its honor and they are paid as no other leader of a defeated army was ever honored.
 The man. no less than the leader. deserved these honors, and year after year, as the light of truth and re- search dispels the clouds of prejudice. Lee appears more and. more as one of the greatest soldiers that history has ever known. His own people love him for the great. kindly and humane heart, the moving force of that char acter. which was too lofty to think a lowiy thought or do> q mean act But the world, outside the south. studies him as inc man who conducted the most rnasteriyl defepse against over. wheiming odds that the world has ever known.
 The French and English military experts have gone over Eee's wonder full campaigns. from beginning to. end they have studied that wonderful genius. which seemed to know exactly what his enemy proposed to do, and which inspired him to action that de- feated their plans with his inferior forces--that genius which seemed . combination Q. inspiration, decision and action. z ss
 Ills fame clarified by nearly Haif . century of time, is the more brilliant as the years pass. The one time enmity of the North no longer assaiis 1t. In the North as in England they give him place among the few great soldiers of all times. His military, genius, like his lofty character. Is be-, yond the darts of envy and malice.
 in the South. Robert Edward Lee IS honored but lie Is loved more than he is f1onored. The South giories in the pride of his magnificent leader ship, but the South loves him for him. self and its love is greater than it's pride. To the people of the South Lee is little greater than the greatest of the others. His place in their lovo is isolateal-there is no other rival He Is to them grand, inspired and .pecuiiar:
 It is nearly half 6 century since he surrendered at Appomattox. yet the love he inspired as a man. and the admiration he aroused as a leader overshadows not only in. the South but throughout the world. the fame of the victorious general to whom he sur. rendered.
