What The South Can Do.

In 1890 the corn crop Of the country
wae 4s9. 100000 bushels, while the
corn crop of the South in 1910 was
/ 27o. 900 bushels. It is true that the
corn crop of the country in 1890 was
less than the average, but these
figures give an idea Of the rapid de-
velopment of corn growing in the
South. when in one year it could pro-
duce a crop almost as large as even
small crop of the entire country in
1890.

Americas needs a furniture factory
and agricultural implement works to
utilize the hard woods growing here;
potteries for the manufacture OF
earthenware and crockery from the
great beds of kaolin within rifle shot
of the city. Americas needs pillow
factories, iron works, and in fact, any
of the small or large plants employ
ing skilled or unskilled labor.
The city of Americas stands ready
to welcome any industry, large or
small, and will foster it in every way
nossible. Anyone interested, who will
address a letter to the secretary OF tn
Americas Board of Trade, can secure
any information desired.

Too Much of 1t

II we are going to restore seIr's,"
ernment TO the people, We must
restore the business OF politics 10 The
people.
But too much politics is very bad
for at least two important reasons
II interferes seriously with the daily
diversions OF the people and IL con-
fuses the people. Take for instance
the state of Ohio. her people have
been through the two hot presidential
primaries and been distracted by Two
national conventions that vitality con-
cerned her. Yet, she has just had 10
nominate state officers, next she VIII
have TO vote on her constitutional
amendments in September and then
engage in the presidential campaign
and election. Other states are In
somewhat similar fix. Politics, poll
ties all the spring. all the summer
and most all the fall
How can the average voter pos
sibly earn his living and at the same
time do his political duty intelligent
" and patriotically with all this poll-
ties piled upon him?
Self-government is tremendous
matter, but IL should be made a sim
pie matter, when we consider that
II should be q matter for careful
study and deliberate action. The vi
tally important issues are really not
so very numerous. Why not settle
them at once? Why not make il opr
special business TO settle them?
Look at the ridiculous way in whlCl
We do one thing, for instance. This
year we elect president whom We
expect TO stand for certain things,
execute certain laws. Later on we
elect congress that may stand for
entirely different things and enact
laws that our president may con
slstently refuse TO execute Verify
our selfgovernment is apt 10 be
spread so thin over many matters
that the masses cannot successfully
make politics their business as they
should.
And so the bosses grow strong ur-
on the confusion and weakness CT
=, our political system. This is 10 say
| nothing of the cost which finally
falls upon the masses. At the pri-
maries not over 35 per cent of the
voters turn out anywhere. At the
election as high as 90 per cent vote.
The people are sick of the ever
lasting round OF campaigns. Yet, We
cannot have successful self.govern-
ment unless the people make politics
a particular business. If We tire or
confuse the people the bosses will
surely profit by the business OF poll
| tics.
