SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

To-day's issue Of this newspaper IN
eludes a section that is absolutely new
in the history Of American journalism
section devoted to Southern progress It
VIII be a regular feature Of The Wash
ington Herald each Sunday hereafter
Thinking men have for years in a
somewhat vague way been conscious Of
the great possibilities Of the South There
are few business men but know some
feature Of its resources, The facts or the
South have been set forth statisticaIly in
government documents and in special
trade papers The magazines IN recent
years show an increasing tendency TO m
eIude articles referring 10 some feature Of
the development OF the South.
It remained. however. for the Southern
Commercial Congress. which met IN
Washington in December. so TO mass the
facts and interpret them as 10 send a
thrill OF conscious knowledge through the
South and through the country. Prior to
that notable gathering. held during the
conservation week. there was scant real
iza,ion Of the stupendous truth regard
ing the South enunciated IN the congress
In these words:
60. -, - - $780,
south OF the Mason and Dixon line
more available coast line. more navi-
gable streams, more water power.
more water products. more minerals
conveniently placed more forest re-
sources. more agricultural range from
the products OF Florida and Texas
no-thvard. and greater general acces-
sibility 10 coast line than can be
found in combination in any other
portion Of the United States"
Granting the accuracy Of this state
meut it follows that there is 10 be IN
folded south Of the Mason and Dixon
line a commercial drama Of marvellous
meaning for the whole United States.
The Washington Herald proposes there
fore from week to week TO gather into
one section in readable form the history
OF this drama as It is worked out BY the
energy OF an awakened South.
When viewed as parts Of the great
story OF developments the affairs OF each
community in the South become Of in
creasing Importance. Hitherto the strain
ing Of communities has been toward de-
velopment within themselves. but the
wider. broader. and more startling fact
is that the South as a whole VIII 90 for
ward when each community with its own
special gifts realizes in its organized body
that the work Of all communities together
viii be necessary to produce the develop
ment to which the resources Of the South
entitls It.
The facts Of the south-evsn though in
some cases they may appear 10 exploit
special industries-win be inserted in this
section solely On the basis Of value in
shedding light upon the South in its
growth and its possibilities. No direct or
Indirect advertising will be sought in
order TO pay for the display Of Southern
facts week by week. The Washington
Herald ernbarks upon this enterprise with
the same unselhsh motive that prompted
the organization OF the Southern Com
mercial Congress. The men who viii sus-
tain this greatest single commercial move
IN the business history OF the United
states vii be benefited by the general re-
suits brought 70 the South, and # Is
through general results that The Wash
ington Herald also expects 10 be bene-
flied.
