THE SOUTH'S PROBLEM

Instead of trying to induce young men in cities and towns who are with out agricultural training or exper- fence to begin farming we should en- courage them to become proficient in textile industries and in business af- fairs so that they may manage man ufacturing industries, operate cotton mills and give the South and South west industrial freedom. We do not need more producers but better pro ducerS The problem for our produc- CTS is to become proficient, and with more inefficient farmers the problem is made more complex.

49 RECRUITS TAKEN BY
 LITTLE ROCK STATION

Ot the 49 recruits enlisted for serv- Ice Tn the various branches of the United States army during the month ot October, 27 of them were examined Tn the Little Rock Station. It is rather an unusual fact however that of the ~ but two were from Little Rock and two from Argenta. The Fort Smith station accepted five men, the Texar- kama branch 10 men and the Shreve- port station seven men. The three towns, with Little Rock comprise the Little Rock recruiting district under the direction of Captain W. M. Cart mell.
 Practically all of the recruits went to the infantry or coast artillery serv Ice. One man chose the engineering department and one or two enlisted fo cavalry service.
 Captain Cartmell, in charge of the station received a letter directed to him from the office of Governor G. W iioy lillS llOIHlHS. It was WflU- ten by a resident of Bluffton, Ark, and asked for information as to the near est army recruiting station The let ter was signed "a voter," followed by the name of one seeking the in- formation. Governor Hays directed it to the recruiting station, where the query was cared for this morning.
 The local station has just completed the mailing of posters to postoffices in this section of the country, calling attention to chances fer army service, It is virtually the only method used in securing recruits.
 Following are rne names of the men their place of residence and the branch of service chosen by the accepted ap- plicants at the Little Rock station: Jesse J. Davis, Mena, Ark, coast ar tillery corps; Joseph Grose, Philadel- phia, cavalry; Arthur Johnson, Boston cavalry; Oscar G.

WILSON'S FOREIGN POLICY.

Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia recently delivered an appreciation of President Wilson's achievements since he entered the White House on March 1, 1913, that is particularly interestine since 1t comes from a man who has spent much of his life in effective ad- minlstrative work. As Secretary of the Interior under President Cleveland. as Governor of Georgia, and as an active member of the United States Senate Senator Smith is we'll qualified to pass judgement upon the executive ability of the President.
 'President Wilson's record for wor- thy achievement exceeds that of any other President of the past fifty years said Senator Smith. "Along in the early part of last June a tide of ad- verse sentiment set in against the President. In my opinion it was due largely to those who, for selfish req sons, stirred up opposition to the Pres ident's policy of 'watchful waiting re- garding Mexico. This was done by persons who did not know as much as the President did of the situation. and was effective with people who did not stop to think.
 Now these people are realizing how wise the President was. Not only do they appreciate his wisdom and fore thought, but they admire his courage in refusing to defend himself against attacks. He knew that he was right, he knew that he was pursuing course which, on it's face, would be temporar- lily unpopular. Yet he made no effort to play to the gallery or to appeal for sympathy.
 "At last people understood that the patient care exercised by the Presid- ent and Secretary of State Bryan kept us out of trouble with Mexico and Ja- pan. The European war has reversed the sentiment against the President and today there is enthusiastic appre- citation of his course.
 And in considering the President s foreign policy, let us imagine what would have happened had the Bull Moose party been successful in 1912. There is little doubt that we would have become involved with Mexico and might eventually have been drawn into the European tangle.
 "I look forward with confidence to a vote this autumn which will clearly vindicate the faithful service rendered by the President since he entered the White House"
