SOUTHERN. LAND DEVELOPMENT.

There are a number of reasons for
believing that an active period Of land
development and Improvement will
soon be inaugurated in the Southern
States. Fundamentals, the forces at
work towards this end may be said to
be the rising cost OF agricultural pro-
ducts and the consequent necessity for
the more extensive and intensive Gull
tivation of the soil, together with the
existence I'm the South of large areas
of vacant lands, which may be improv
cd and made productive at small eN-
rensc rs compared with other sections
OF the country. Along with these con-
ditions proceeds the realization that
~ the application of advanced methods
TO Southern agriculture greater and
more profitable yields may be secured.
Public attention is also constantly be-
ing turned toward the agricultural
possibilities of the Southern States by
uttcrances of prominent observers.
The recent statement of Secretary WILL
son to the effect that the country must
look to the South for it's future supply
Of meat is an illustration in point The
significant feature Of the entire sit
uation. however, centres in the fact
that ii has not been generally realized
until the present time that the vacant
and unimproved areas in the South are
cheap. and their development, as a
business undertaking, will yield hand
some profits. With the full rccogni
lion of this economic possibility, the
forces OF sclf-intcrest may be expect
ed TO start an unprecedented period of
Southern land development. The small
margin of returns in other forms Of
enterprise, and the uncertainty dur
;nt the next year relative to the Sc
curities of industrial corporations
would also render Southern land de-
velopment companies, under proper
management and supervision, attrac-
4 tive TO investors. 1t would seem that
a pronounced movement in this direc-
! ton will be characteristic OF the near
! future.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-02-16

teal opposition will not dare to in
dorse We feel. however. that we are
ourselves in error in continuing to dis
cuss this matter. The Kings name and
authority should be banished from all
political controversy" 1t is hardly
possible that tho King will ever at
tempt to exercise tho extinct veto
power" to revive the veto nction' at
taching to the crown in tho matter of
home rule or any other legislation. 1t
would, therefore, appear that Bonar
Law WAS unduly excited In making his
suggestion. and tho Spectator permit
ted itself to become unduly over
wrought in commenting thereon.
None tho less, the Spectators article
is exceedingly interesting and illumi-
mating. In very short space it presents
n very Ineligible exposition of tho
principles Of the British system of
government, gives clear insight into
British democracy and shows where
fore the saying that the. King reigns
but does not rule. 1t affords means of
interesting and intelligent comparison
between the powers. not to say privi-
leges also. of the sovereign of a con-
stitutional democratic monarchy. and
those of President of a democratic

THE FLOWER OF HAPPINESS.

COUNTY y. VI. G. A. FOR NEGROES.
