The Misunderstood South

Though much has been written of
the South, it seems to me that this part
of our count ~ is less understood than
am other part. Certainly the South,
itsclf, feels that this is true It's rela

of nothing so much as that of pretty,
sen sitive wife to a big, strong, amiable
if SOM what hick-skinned husband.
These two had one great quarrel which
nearly resulted in divorce. He thought
Ler head-strong; she thought him over

has been for some time recovering. But
though they have settled their Difficult
ties and are living again in amity to-
gether, and though he, manlike, has
half forgotten that they ever quarrel

house again. she has not forgotten.
There still fingers in her mind the feel

and her struggles, and that he never
will. And it seems to me further that,

What is the greatest piece of legisla-
tive enactment during the last session
of congress- There has been much con
struetive legislation, all tending to the
betterment of the people, the like of
which has not been known during any
previous session, but the greatest of all
laws enacted was the Federal Reserve
Act. Many of us remember the panics
of '73, '93 and 1907, and this would
have been repeated last year but for
this banking act put into force.
These panics were bankers panlcs, IN
which The manufacturer and merchant

They emanated from the great banking

not move his crop without paying tri-

There seems to be no little stir
around Salisbury by the implied an
nouncement that Senator Overman will
have to fight for his toga when next lie
comes up for election, and no less q
man than the Incompatible bryan -
will be his opponent. Of course they
are talking four years ahead of such
catastrophe, for it will be 1920 before
any such thing can happen, but it
seems almost inconceivable that Viii

81 am my brothers keeper. How
true is this, and how seldom do we even
think Of IT, Day by day we go along
in Gus business and home life without
giving a second thought to the influ-
ence we are creating around us. There
is goodness in all men, and the desire
to do right is enate in all the human
family, thoughtlessness is responsible
for much of the wrecked lives we see
around us, and once started upon 1.-THE
downward scale of life, the skids are
hard to hold. and the pathway seems
smooth and easy. The responsibility
however often lies upon the shoulders
Of these of us who have trod the thorny
paths, and know the pitfalls, and still

the PAYNE Aldrich tariff was not proof
against, Furthermore it produced a
revenue, ten million dollars more III
1914 than the Payne Aldrich tariff did
in 1918, and forty two million dollars
more than in 1912, and this in the face
of the present war which has stifed
imports. Is not this an evidence onat
the Democratic tariff was far more Just
and correct than that created by the
tariff barons for their own selfish ends
The tariff is no longer scare-cro"
with which to brighten the people, and
the Republicans will have to get then

The financiers of the big money cen
ters were strenuous in their opposition
to this bill, and naturally were unwlll-
ing to lose their grasp upon the reserve
money country, but the new law was
not made for them, it was a country $
call, and so it was put into effect, amt
is being run, for the benefit OF the couh
try at large, hence the present prosper
itv, and a wide endorsement OF demo
cratic administration.
