ton county and the Delta who are per
sonally familiar with an important
part Of the process.
In thus emphasizing the plantation
history of the county, I do not mean
to ignore other things. Take the mat
ter of levee protection, for example,
A series of interesting chapters could
be made of the history of private and
public effort to protect this country
from overflow Take also the matter
of transportation. The original flat
ana keel boat, the later steamboat,
with it's picturesque life, the first and
subsequent railways, the tribulatlons
of the dirt road. from the time when
four mules were required to haul one
bale of cotton through Blapton s Lane
and good roads were conceded to be an
impossibility, TO the day when automo-
biles 90 through there at thirty miles
an hour. Take the origin and growth,
the ups and downs, of the banking
business. Consider the development
OF the oil mill industry-from the time
when the destruction of seed was re-
ouired by law, to safeguard public
health. Nor would | by any means
confne attention to such material mat
ters. Every organized religious body
in the county has history of trials
and achievements worthy of perman-
nent record. The same is true as TO
the history of education, public ana
private. Every disastrous overflow
TO which we have been subjected may

plete with human interest. The great
endemic of 1878 is a subject worthy
the patient researches of faithful

Nor should we forget that biography
and genealogy belong properly to ms

In conclusion [ shall venture to offer
a concrete illustration of the value ana
need of the work we have undertaken
[ had the pleasure of entertaining for
a few days this spring one of the fore
most historians of Europa profess
sor in the University of Berlin. He
had just completed a course of lectures
at Harvard, ana wished to see and
learn something of the South before
returning to Germany. His interest
in Southern affairs was genuine and
kindly, and he was keenly alive to the
significance of features which differ
emtiated our part of the country from
the sections which he had already Wis
tied. What more natural than that
he should wish to know something fur
Their than I could tell him of the his
tory of locality which seemed really
to attract him. I shall not attempt to
to his matter of fact request for the
titles of ga few books of local his
tory, was compelled to tell him that
there was not one such volume in ex-
istence. The interest which he felt
is shared by hundreds of historians
and students in America and abroad.
IT is human interest, deep and abid-
ing, in the unwritten history of the
South and its people
To satisfy this interest; to answer
the inquiries of thoughtful, serious
minded men; to appreciate the fact
that history is no less history, for hav-
ing hal its beginning on the banks of
the Mississippi in the early part or
the nineteenth century, instead of on
the banks of the James two centuries
before; to realize the dignity of the
part PLAYED by our pioneers as not less
than that of earlier ones in other
| lands; 70 pay the tribute of recognl-
| ton to the memory of those who clear
ed our forests, as we'll as to those who
| fought our wars; TO let those who follow
after rs know that we also passed
along this way; surely these are OBJ
| iects worthy the thought and effort OF
any people not content like dumb crea
lures of the field to live and die and
| leave behind them no enduring record
| of their lives.

quality of the offerings, however, was
better, and prices for all good ship

be admitted that Virginia did not
make the biggest single acre yield.
That honor falls to North Carolina

j. f. Bats. who lives not very far
from Raleigh. in Wake county. tried
his hand on a specially good acre Of

the stock sold rather indicates that the
tail end of. the crop is now being sold.
Prices show no change, and hold firm

There is some talk Of scarcity OF
plants In some sections. but 1t is not
thought to be very serious since the
recent rain, which was badly needed.
