South Is Setting the Pace.

No longer is the South depending
on cotton. The total value of all agri-
cultural products of the South last
year was about S3,6OOOOO and of this
only about S75O.OOO,OOO was represent
ed by cotton. Cotton, therefore. COM
prisCd but little more than One-ftth
of the total agricultural products of
the South. In 1915 the gain in the
value of all farm crops in the United
States over 1914 was $526,O7O,OOo. OF
this gain S317,2O9,OOO, or a little over
so per cent, was in the South, an amaz-
ing Illustration Of the increase in the
diversiiCatiou of Southern agriculture.
The gain in the entire country, out
side of the South. was S20S.S61, 900, or
S1O8.400, 900 less than the gain in the
South. The percentage of increase for
the South in 1915 over 1914 was 1888
per cent. The percentage OF increase
for the rest of the country in 1918
over 1914 was only 5.25 per cent The
South is going ahead industrially. agri-
Culturally and financially. Still pro-
duCing the greatest cotton crop on
earth. the Southern States nevertheless
are actually outdistancing many of the
Northern and Western States in the
production Of other farm products The
South is fully awake to its oppor-
tunties. 1t is supplying a substantial
basis for its own and national pros

Brandeis Unfit, Bar Leaders Say.

Former President Taft, whose careful
ness in selecting men for the bench was

signed letter Of protest, with six other
former Presidents Of the American Bar
Association, against the confirmation Of
Louis D. Brandeis. The others who
signed the letter were Simeon E. Bald
win, Of Connecticut: Francis Raleigh, Of
Philadelphia: Joseph H. Choate and
Elihu Root, of New York, and Moore

OF the American bar. They know
Brandeis by his reputation among
lawyers They have read the testi-
mony and the charges alleging breach
Of trust and betrayal of clients and
In their letter they state they are "un-
der the painful duty to say to you
that, in their opinion, taking into view
the reputation, character and profess
sioual career of Mr.. Louis D. Bran

dent of the American Bar Association,
