THERE is Il MORAL IND Il SPIRIT
UAL Pill

The careful and thoughtful reader can not have failed to OBJ
serve that there is a moral and a spiritual uplift in the editorial ut
terances of the Commercial Appeal. This much can be said of
almost any reputable newspaper, but the Commercial Appeal, more
than any other daily, is the paper of this section, and the things for
which it stands are of more than ordinary significance to our people.
The editor of the Commercial Appeal c. P. ] Mooney, is not only
one of the countrys greatest scholars and best equipped newspaper
men. but he is built of that stuff which honors God and seeks to de-
velop that which is highest and best in the citizenship of the land.
1t seems to us that, like a young eagle, Mr.. Mooney continues to
spread his wings and ascend to higher heights and that peak after
peak is his conquest. His Christmas editoria! on Jesus was almost
something sublime. Only a few months ago his utterance on gam
bling reeounted its wreckagea and debasement and showed that the
lamps still burned for those who desired to walk the pathway of
purity, honor and integrity. In the issue of the Commercial Appeal
of March s. the editorial on Morals and Manners" pictured the
abyss over which those high in social life were toying and the dan
ger that threatened all round about them. Verify, it doth many
times appear that in morals and virtue much of the world is beyond
safety and over the danger line. The Commercial Appeal. with
other great journals of the country, continues to give the danger
signal and makes the plea for lighting anew the lamps of love, home,
and economy,

4VNETO

A special publication under the above caption will be issued by
The Manufacturers Record of Baltimore on March ~. Not only
will what the South is raising in livestock, cotton, hay. sugar, veget-
ables and fruits be shown, as well as its production of marble, lum-
Der. etc, but the material progress of this section for the next 80
years will be forecasted with mathematical accuracy. This great
journal proposes to show that the nations prosperity rests upon the
South and nothing will be stated which is not backed by data, &C
cess;ble to anyone who will undertake to study it and compile it.
and the most irresistible logic. The publication will increase your
faith in what you have at your doors; will make you more in love
with your surroundings and create a spirit OF optimism that can but
be helpful to the entire country. The edition is going to have a
wide circulation. Some business men have already ordered as MANY
as 5000 copies, SO the management advises US, and those who fail to
get a copy will miss something of incalculable value from every
viewpoint. 1t will interest the casual reader and the student can
hardly fail to be without it.
THE price of The South: The Nations Greatest Asset is 81 a
copy in paper cover; 81 50 in cloth and s. in leather, For orders for
10 copies, and up to 100 copies in paper cover the price is 7sc per
copy, and for 100 n more copies the price is soc per copy. There
will be no reduction of price on cloth or leather bound in large lots
