THE SOUTH AND THE NATION.


Writing of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, which is to hold
fourth annual session at Nashville.
Tenn, next month, the head of a
South Carolina university is quoted as
having said:
| have caught the spirit of the
thing. You men are using the
great resource facts of the South

standing of the inyincible position
the South can be brought to oc-
cupy in national history when
once more Gas in the case of the
early history of the South) our
men are nerved up to take their
shire in national development.
1t may be that the eminent South
Carolinian mas not looked upon the
procession recently.
The South and its men have achiev-
ed already a notable share in ma
tional development, and the pro-
portions of this share" are growing
with rapidly and Importance that
is attracting the attention and in
terest of the whole country.
According to official census figures
for 1910, Galveston was the second
export city in the United States
sending to foreign countries, a total
of $22O,5O4,917 worth of merchandise.
New Orleans was the third city, Bal
timore the fourth, and Savannah the
fifth. The exports from Galveston
amounted to more than those of all
ports Of the Pacific coast, and ex-
ceeded by $23,541,732 the combined
exports and imports of all Pacific
coast ports.
Fotty-seven per cent of all the ex-
ports and imports of the country are
on account Of the South
The South has $4,000 miles of rail-
roads. This is twice the number of
miles that the German empire possess
ses, more than twice as many as
France, more than three times as
many as the United Kingdom of Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and
neatly seven times as many as Italy.
The annual pig iron output of the
South is 100000 tons. Other pro-
ducts are: Coal, 109,OOO,OOO tons;
lumber, $4,000, 100000 feet; cotton
and hy-products, $1,000, 100000; grain,
$730,000,00O: live stock products,
$200O00,O00; dairy products, $17O,OOO,-
goo; poultry and eggs, $17O,OOO.OOo;
sugar, $5O.OOO,OOO.
Tie South added 5000, 100000 to
the national wealth in the year indi-
Gated. 1t has 81 100, 100000 on deposit
in It's banks and 81, 10000 900 invest
ed in factories. Its property is
worth $21 $780, O0,0 900.
These figures show that the South
is now great factor in development
in This country. It would seem that
IL is about time for all the people in
the South to realize this truth. 1t
is full time for an understanding that
the South already has been brought
to an invincible position in national
history and development.
And right here, we who live in a
section so favored from all points as
is Brunswick and Glynn county should
catch a firm step with the onward
mareA} Develop the farming lands in
Glynn county bring more factories

awaits them and the rest will be an
easily won victory!

RAISES HUMAN WRECKS.

The Man Who Has Prayed With Many
Thousands of Prisoners.
In the American Magazine there is
an interesting character sketch OF Roll
10 ii. Mcbride, who Is now at the head
of the Parting of the Ways Home, an
institution In Chicago to which releas-
ed convicts are sent. In this home
Mcbride puts these ex-convicts on
their feet in n practical way by keep
ing them until he finds jobs for them
and by encouraging them In many 9TH
err ways. In his early life Mcbride
was himself a useless and dissipated
man. At the end of a four weeks de-
bauch he staggered into the Lifeboat
mission in Chicago, deceived by the
lights which hung In front OF 1t. These
lights resembled those placed in front
Of saloons. Something held Mcbride
there after he had discovered his mis-
take.
When they had cleaned him up In
side and out he said to them: "Heaven
/ don't know much about, but I've got
a pretty good working knowledge of
the other place. Give me n bucket of
water or a garden hose or something
and I'll show you a place where the
fire is hot" They gave him a baby
organ and two dozen hymn books, and
he marched up to the Harrison street
police station. Now, the old Harrison
street station harbors more criminals
In the course of year than any other
police station. william Il. Stead when
he visited Chicago pronounced 1t a
sanitary horror, worse than any prison
he had seen in Russia. Into its moi
some cellar Mcbride pushed his way
and set up his baby organ before the
cells where eighteen drunken, jeering
men peered out and scoffed at him.
His singing wasn't much to talk
about, and what he said In the sermon
wouldn't have got him very far in an
uptown church. He just stood up and
shot out his story in short, singing
sentences that almost made a noise of
impact as they hit home. And at the
end miracle happened. Mcbride ask
ed them to raise their hands, as many
as would like to have him pray for
them to his Father for another chance.
And sixteen of the eighteen raised
their hands and knelt with him on
that damp, cold floor.
Seven years he has gone to Harrison
street. More than $4,000 men and wom-
en- have sneered at him as he began
his sermon, but $4,000 and more have
concluded by kneeling down to pray
with him.

A MILITARY PROBLEM.
Caring For the Wounded Under Mod.
ern Conditions of Warfare.

ern Conditions of Warfare.
How to care for and remove the
wounded under modern conditions of
warfare is a problem that has not yet
been worked out satisfactorily by any
medical staff, largely because there
has been a lack Of data on which to
base theories.
The only war that mas furnished
much basis for speculation was the
Russo-Japanese war, and in that the
Russians found that the average loss
was 20 per cent of an army corps, with
a maximum of 80 per cent in any d.
vision of $4,000 men. This 1900 was
made up of 500 killed and 1000
wounded
1t Is interesting to note that So per
cent of the casualties came from rifle
bullets, per cent from artillery fire
and per cent from saber and bayonet
wounds This last shows the fierceness
of the fighting when armies could come
to hand to hand conflict, although rifle
fire begins to be effective when two
miles separate them.
OF those wounded nearly half were
able to walk and only 10 to 10 per cent
We're so badly hurt that they could not
be transported. To provide for the
withdrawal of the rest is beyond the
capacity Of any ordinary ambulance
train, the distance to place of safety
in the rear is so great
European medical STATS are now
planning to make use of automobiles
as tractors, drawing supply wagons fit
ted with suspended stretchers. In this
way one motor could rapidly take away
a hundred wounded and return for
more.-Boston Globe.

Of the siege of Paris from a residents

popular even among those who most
detested his political opinions Many
years ago he was married to Henriet-

he was devoted. Their entertainments
were charming. Her death not long
ago was a great blow to him, and he
was also greatly shocked by the death
