it is the Golden South" says a recent
issue of Leslies Weekly.
The development of the wonderful
natural resources of what are known
commonly as our Southern states
has been the marvel of our industrial
history We are only at the opening
pages. The wealth in cotton, in lum-

ious metals, which the South possess
es has been only in part disclosed.
Its wide expanse of arabic lands
still untouched invites the immigrant
southwark Its fertile soil, its genial
cline and hospitable people make the
invitation particularly attractive. The
tide of emigration, turning southwark
now more than ever, has only begun
to flow. 1t means tide of wealth
and untold prosperity.
We have no patience with those
who patronize our friends in the
South, who talk of the forgiveness Of
the past and of the wiping out of sec
tional lines The South is the mother
of the country. American patriotism
was reared in its bosom 1t has given
the nation some of its ablest states

In its charities, its benevolences. its
religious and educational work, no
part of the Union excels it. For hos
pitality, it has no equal
The South furnished the first stars
in the American flag and the brayest
soldiers who fought in their defence.

LOCAL BUILDING ACTIVITY

In yesterdays issue of The Times
ecorder was told the story of only a
part of the wide building activity that
Americas is to know this spring and
summer. Yet the list of homes AMI
other buildings projected, as told only
in part, is in itself great array cf
work to be accomplished by city
within the brief space of one summer.
There is no surer indication that Am
CIRCUS is thoroughly alive to the march
of progress than the story told in the
naming of the prospective buildings to
be erected here during the forthcom-
ing building season. 1t is story of
aIertness that shows Americas is truly
progressive, and aggressive.
1t is encouraging to know that in
the large number of buildings to be
constructed there are many resident-
es. There is great need of such
structures here. 1t is not far from
the truth to say that the growth of
Americas has been hindered consid-
erably by the lack of homes here.
Strangers have come to Americas
and have been impressed by the invit-
ing business field here only to find
that it was difficult to secure a home.
The scarcity of homes, not to mention
the strongly felt need of connecting
rooms even, has been a handicap to
the city 1t would seem however, that
it is no longer to be the great hanGi
cap that it formerly was.
facilities seems to have given a fresh
impetus to the building of residences
here. 1t was naturally expected that
this would be the case 1t is espec-
tally encouraging under these circum-
stances to notice the renewed energy
with. which the work of construction
has been begun.
1t may be readily seen by those
who have the understanding that
Americas is already reaping returns
from the bond issues that gave the
city its water and sewer extension,
These things cost money. 1t required
time to gain them. but they are
worth while. They are worthy vindi-
cations of their own right of bein,5.
1t will be so with the issue for school
bonds, which will soon be placed be-
fore the people for their ratification
