DINON'S HAPPY HIT

Says the Pensacola News: Thos.
Dixon, author of The Clansman."
The Leopard's Spots" and The
Sins of the Father" can claim that
he prophecied the nomination and
election of Woodrow Wilson.
He can prove it, too.
DiXon's new novel. The Southern
err is dedicated to Woodrow Wilson.
The Bookman for August tells an in
teresting story of how the book was
dedicated. President Wilson and Mr.
Dixon were classmates at Johns Hop
kins University. Mr.. Dixon always
believed that Woodrow Wilson was
destined for great things and his be-
lief that he would be nominated by
the democratic party and elected
President of the United States be-
came positive conviction in the early
months of 1912. Three months be-
fore the Baltimore convention met
last year Mr.. Dixon was preparing
to sail for Europe and it was neces-
sary for him to turn over all the
copy for his new book. The day be-
fore he sailed, early in April last
year, he wrote the dedication for his
new book and sent it to the publisher
with the rest of the manuscript.
The dedication was as follows: To
the first southern President since
Lincoln, my friend and classmate,
Woodrow Wilson,
Three months later Mr.. Dixon
cabled his congratulations to Cover
nor Wilson from Vienna.

with a population drawn from so
many states and with everybody
busy il Is not 10 be expected that so
much narrowness could be displayed
The picture. September Morn has

proper. This might have been ex-
pected in some small Puritan town
but in St. Petersburg, presumably
broad enough not 10 interfere with
anybody's ideas and views, il is I'M

September Morn is a painting
which was awarded the highest hon
or at the Paris salon last winter 1t
is the picture of nude girl, in wa
ter only few inches deep, the back
ground of mountains being misty and
vague. The original must be a beau
tiful thing, for the copies are pleas
ing to the eye. Somebody discov-
erred, so it is said, that the girl in
the picture shows by her manner, or
depression, or something or other,
that she is conscious of the fact that
she wears no clothes; in other words
is not unconsciously naked, as a child
would be. For this reason the pic
ture was condemned. In several
cities a few persons OF the Anthony
COmstOck type. then proceeded to
| get notoriety by demanding that the
picture not be displayed in public.
Several chiefs Of police, seeming
publicity, ordered the picture into Sc
! clusion.
/ To condemn the picture as bad
makes it bad. The picture will now
/ be shown surreptitiously and the
youth who looks at it will look at a
woman without clothes. He will see
nothing else, whereas before it is
likely he would have thought moth
ing of it. A minister recently de,
cIared that it would be better fol
women to wear no clothes than tt
wear clothes that were suggestive

the elimination of President Huerta.
Secretary of State Bryan sent the
following telegram to the American
legation last night:
You may say to Minister of For
eign Affairs that Gov. Lind comes to
Mexico on a mission of peace and
that the President feels sure his pres
ence there will contribute toward a
settlement of the difficulties. The
Mexican government should await
the Presidents communication and

COTTON GROWS
IN MARION COUNTY
Why Can't We Make the Summer
Clothes We Wear?

There is food for thought in the
following from the Pensacola Journ-
al:
According to the esteemed Angus
ia Chronicle a movement has been
started at Spartanburg, S. c., for the
wearing in the south during the
summer, of clothes made Of cotton.
A gentleman named Alexander in
augurated the project.
At the recent fair he secured pledg-
es from $50 Spartanburg men that
they would buy suits from cloth WOW
EN- at Spartanburg from homegrown
cotton, provided the suits could be
made satisfactory. Mr.. Alexander
then had a Spartanburg mill make
up a bolt of Bedford cord cloth and
he sent this 70 the north to have it
shrunk. A tailor will then make a
$50 suit for Mr.. Alexander and
this will be submitted to a shrinking
test. If it stands the test the cloth
will be ordered for the $40 suits and
a great part of Spartanburg will be
wearing not only home made clothes
but home grown clothes.
The idea seems to be an excellent
one. There is no reason why the
men in the south should not wear
during the summer months home
made cotton clothes. The laboring
men of both city and country should
wear cotton overalls made in the
south, and in fact thin cotton suit:
can be made cooler, heater and
cheaper than the cheap shoddy stuff
that is so much worn. This would
stimulate the use of cotton as vel
as increase the manufacture of cot
ton goods in the south.
The greater part of the cotton
grown in the south should be manu-
featured in the south.
