SOUTH SELE-St'PPORTINC
How the South is Beginning to Feed
Itself.

Washington, June 2S.-There used
TO be a story about a southern farm
or who bought his beans i'm Boston.
his furniture in Grand Rapids, his
food in Cincinnati, and his feed i'm ST
Louis. and all he raised on his farm
was pack of dogs. but that story.
according to reports coming i'm every
day TO the United States Department
of Agriculture. is getting so far from
thc truth that ii hardly deserves a
place in the widest fiction.
For the South is beginning to feed
itself More than that, it is beginning
10 help feed other sections of the
country. The South is divorcing itself
from It's dependence on the one-crop
system and is raising food and feed
as well MS cotton i'm large quantities
Furthcrmore-and what is of imme-
diate 1918 importancc-the South bv
feeding itself is decreasing the drain
ON the North and West and is releas-
ing products of those sections 10 he

Mr.. George Bell Zimmerman. of
Lexington, for twelve years Solicitor
OF his circuit. said that he was not
embarrassed by Mr. Levers being
pltch-forked out of the senatorial race
ana Vaulting back into the Seventh,
but he did not wonder that Lever was
embarrassed he had good cause to be:
nor had he had any apologv to make
for being N the race. The seat in
congress belongs to the people of the
district and it is for them to saw who
shall fill it as their representative. He
took up the Burleson letters and the
Wilson and Lever correspondence.
These letters he said proved that it is
the fixed policy of the administration
not to interfere in State politics and
that Lever, having got himself into
Il bad mess and finding himself put
out of the race by TilIman, was trying
to save himself by hiding behind the
president. "Ie scooted between VII
sons legs like q scared rat'' and is
now trying to make the people of the
seventh District believe that he is the
candidate of administration FOR con-
gress, as u short time ago he was try
ing in his behalf, to make the people
ing. or some of his friends were try
ing in his behalf, to make the people
of the State believe that he was the
candidate Of the administration for
the senate. Mr.. Zimmerman was for
ciblc, plain-spOken and sarcastic i'm his
criticism of Mr.. Levers political aero
battles. Having disposed of Lever
Mr.. Zimmerman took up the war and
made forcible and patriotic speech
pledging himself to the service of his
country, and the loyal support of
Woodrow Wilson. Mr.. Zimmerman
made a strong and telling speech that
was heard with close attention by the
crowd.
Mr.. Thomas f. Brantly, who some
viii remember, was a candidate for
congress when Mr.. Lever was first
elected, spoke first of the democratic
principle that the office belongs to the
people and that the office holder is the
servant of the people, and as such is
required TO give an account of his
stewardship at frequent intervals. He
is opposed to long terms of office. for
when man is continued too long i'm
Office he gets the idea that the office
belongs to him. He devoted the great
er part of his speech to discussion
OF the relation of labor, and capital
and the necessity Of wise legislation
to regulate and control these assets of
the nation. He also spoke of the ne
cessity of internal improvements. es-
pecially good roads and drainage of
land, criticising and ridicuIing the
waste OF money that has followed the
policy of congress in trying to i'm
prove for navigation streams that
never were and never will be navi-
gable On the war he is thoroughly
orthodox and patriotic. He is a loyal
supporter of the administration and
stands for the vigorous and determin-
ed prosecution of the war to a sue
cessful termination.
The meeting was concluded with
speeches by Messrs. L. f Wood and
frank a. Mcleod, who are candidates
for solicitor.

distinguished congressman of the Sew

closed automobile on q hot September

ALEAGUE OF NATIONS

Among the other big problems o.
the present is the question Of whether
or not we should have a League Oi
Nations. "A small group in the Sen
ate has attacked the proposed league
because they say it is utOpian.
A League of Nations is utopian in
that it aims toward a more idealistic
condition of affairS-to eliminate the
barbarity. suffering and heartaches of
war. But wether it goes too far to
be practicable is another question.
The power to wage war in a democ-
racy rests ultimately with the people
Everywhere people decry war and
hate it; therefore they should be able
to fulfill their wishes by finding some
way TO avoid what they all agree is
undesirable.
1t was long step from the middle
ages. when people settled their dis
putes by right of combat and later by
duels. or affairs of honor as they were
called. to the present. when every one
is amenable to the law
Many were the cries raised against
the curtailing of individual freedom
and liberty. But now duelling is con-
sidered a relic of barbaric days. As
individuals have learned to submit to
courts for the good of society, so ma
tions must learn to submit to a high
er or centralized power for the good
OF humanity.
The Civil War is ample testimony to [
the existence in this country of groups I
of people who considered their states I
as all-pOwerful and wished to bow to .
no other power. But now the country
is united from North to South in its
loyalty to the central power. This
change has been brought about in
half century.
Is it not reasonable then to think
that some satisfactory plan can be
devised to insure the peace of the
world by broader view of the world
as whole instead of our own small
sphere?
