SOUTH MUCH Misunderstood
Has Failed to Master Secret Of True
Publicity.
Local Organizations Cannot Hope
TO Accomplish Aims OF
Commercial Congress.

In a recent letter written by the msn-
aging director 20 the secretary OF one
OF the commercial clubs OF the south,
these postulates were first laid down.
First-The South has little appreciation
OF its entire commercial position IN the
history OF the United States.
second-The South Is markedly mis-
understood in relation 10 health condi-
tons. educational progress. the employ
ment OF children and social order.
Third-The work OF individual CONNER
cial organizations IN the last twenty
years has led 70 much development. con-
trasting the present with the past, but
little development contrasting the energy
and excellence OF the effort with the re-
suits obtained.
FoUrth-The commercial organizations
Of the South are lacking entirely IN the Co
operative impulse. because, for instance,
the cotton-thought OF city does not re-
alize its oneness with the metaI-thought
OF Birmingham or the shipping thought
OF New Orleans in the commercial des-
tiny Of the richest section Of the United
States.
These pOstulates were not spun out OF
any impulse toward special pleading. but
were statements Of facts apparent 20
every thinker on Southern problems.
The conclusion Of this portion OF the
letter used these words:
Take these four postulates and place
before yourself the problem OF changing
conditions that in their totality are un-
favorable 70 great growth. and what viii
be your answer? I venture 10 say that
inevitably It viii be something similar
to the Southern Commercial Congress,
call It by whatever name you will

COTTON IS no LONGER KING
South's Progress Rests on More
Than One Idea.
It's Development Arrives at Point
Where It's Many Industries
Must BE Encouraged.

IN a recent address on Southern com
mercial interests appeared his signif-
cant statement:
We have been playing with pebbles
while the great Southern ocean OF op-
portunity lies unexplored- The fucure OF
the South rests not on cotton alone. not
on more white people alone, not on tech
nical education alone, not on mineral re-
sources alone. not on coast line alone.
but on al OF these and many more things
together.
Earlier attempts made 70 speak FOR
Southern development have failed be
cause they did not speak broadly enough
or plan wisely for permanency. Organ
izations have attempted 70 deal with
one factor-let Us say immigration or
education - instead OF proclaiming the
South as a whole and leaving its puissant
greatness OF resource 10 fasten the at
tentiOn OF the world Consequently. any
attempt 10 organize IN the line OF one In
tsreSt for the sake Of that Interest alone.
as II It represented the whole South. is
foredoomed to failure. because il is los
ing sight OF the South's total greatness
and total need.
Many failures have dotted the path
way OF investors who arrived ultimately
at the success OF the telegraph. the tele-
phone. wireless telegraphy. and so forth.
But when an idea is right and men feel
through their inmOst beings that they
can and therefore they must do a certain
thing for the benefit OF humanity. they

VERY PROUD OF THE SOUTH
Mayor of Baltimore Approves Plan
Of Development.
Would Hold Congresses and Spread
Facts broadcast 20 All
the World.

Representing as I do the thriving me-
uOpolis OF the great and growing South.
II is natural for me 10 favor any enter
prise which VIII give additional impetus
to the forward movement OF that impor-
tant section
Baltimore is proud OF the South in the
same way that the South Is properly
proud OF Baltimore. For that reason our
people ere only too glad to enlist IN any
undertaking that means the development
and exploitation Of the richest portion OF
our country.
The record OF the past eighteen years is
what gives TO US the greatest encourage
ment for future action. The record al
most reads Ike a miracle. especially so
when we think OF the handicaps under
which the South has labored since the
days Of the war. When we pause 10
think that the property values IN the
South have increased from 5000. .OOO. 900 20
5000 ooo. .Oo0-nearIy 800 per cent-we can
gather some idea OF the rapid progress
with which our people are advancing.
The increasing Importance OF the
South is furthermore demonstrated by
the growth IN population during the
same period from 1s,S5s.s6O to 9ssS4 7o5.
This population at the same time Is de-
velOping an active and effective type OF
enterprise. This Is proved by the in
crease IN the value OF manufactures from
s257,OooOOO TO S2,IoOOOO.OOO The increase
in the value OF cotton mills alone has
been from S21.000,Oe0 TO S256 100000.
All OF the above represents but the be-
ginning OF the SOuth's possibilities It
must not be forgotten that at present
fully 80 l-3 per cent OF the Souths farm
ing lands are unimproved. There IS an
area in the South capable OF being
drained and converted into available land
which alone is equal TO one-half OF the
entire New England States. It can read
ily be fancied, then, what the results IN
the future VIII be when the population
per square mile IN the South increases
from its present figure OF 81 10 that OF
the State OF Illinois, which Is 90. That
would give the South a total population
OF over 100000
In view Of all this vast frnmeasurable
undeveloped opportunity in the South. II
Is both logical and praiseworthy that the
Southern Commercial Congress should be
regularly held. Such organizations are
bound 10 attract worldwide attention.
and by so doing add greatly 70 the early
and rapid development OF that section.
Baltimore knows the SOuth's possibili-
ties, and Baltimore is ready 60 move

the South TO her proper level OF CONNER

Chicago, Nov. 16-General Fred
erick d. Grant as a candidate for the
presidency of the United States was
cheered with loud acclaim by several
hundred colored men and women who

and he sat upon the platform with 9TH
ers prominent in the interests of the
support of the entire colored popula-

All Hope Is Abandoned.

Acting Chief of Police McFadden,
who was for years a miner and who
was one of the last men to leave the
mine alive, reluctantly said that with
the closing of the shaft Saturday night
the last vestige of hope for the en-
tombed men had vanished.
The task of bringing the bodies to
the surface will be attended with diff
ficulty. Searching parties, provided
with oxygen helmets to guard against
the smoke, will carry stretchers on
which to bear the bodice to the bot
tom of the shaft.
The second and third veins are
said to be filed with smoke The
darkness is these veins will make
the journeys through the galleries
slow and hard and only those provid-
ed with the helmets can penetrate the
recesses. The fire, which now seems
to have been burning steadily long
after it was first reported to have
burned Itself out, kept driving the
miners farther and farther toward the
blind ends of the galleries.
