The South 4tlanttc GateqUay.

a MOTHER notable step toward making
~ Georgia and her immediate neighbors
to the north and south the gateway in
practice, as they already are in position, to
South American and Cuban trade, is about
to be taken through the organization of the
South Atlantic Export Company. The prime
object of this enterprise will be to induce
manufacturers and shippers in the Middle
west to take advantage of the shorter route
and lower cost which the ports of this region
aHord, as compared with those of the North
Atlantic, for cargoes bound for Latin-Ameri-
can destinations.
year or two ago such an undertaking
would have been of scant promise, for then
these ports we're without the necessary ships
and also without railway rates that made it
possible to compete with New York. But now
the prospect is clear of all such obstacles
Thanks to the we'll directed efforts of the
South Atlantic Maritime Corporation and it's
able friends, the tonnage problem is being
steadily solved. Ten vessels oof the new ma
tional merchant marine already have been al
lotted that corporation by the Shipping
Board, and will be operated between the Will
mington, Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick
and Jacksonville and Latin-American mar
kets: Moreover, the freight rate inequities
which so long kept these ports from commerce
to which they were naturally entitled have
been ordered removed. The way is thus clear
and inviting for the cultivation of the bust
ness to which the South Atlantic Export Com
pany will address itself.
With so many strategic advantages this re-
gion will attract vast volumes of export trade
from the Middle West when the facts of the
situation are made widely clear and the neces-
sary connections established This will be
the prime work of the new organization,
though eventually it will bring to the Caro-
lima, Georgia and east Florida ports trade
from all parts Of the world. Working in har-
mony with the Maritime Corporation, it will
develop new forces Of prosperity and new
fields Of opportunity for the entire South
eastern country.

Connection between aviation and archaic

interdependence of science nowadays is such

says the New York Herald. 1t is stated that
the buried cities of Asia Minor are being
brought to light owing to the slight discolora-
ton of the soil above them, which is dstin-
guishable from an aeroplane but is quite in
visible to an observer on the ground.
This principle is somewhat similar to that
by which many a German submarine was
caught in the war, aircraft passing overhead
being able easily to see much clearer into the
depths of the water than lookout aboard
ship.

Many sarcophagi have been found having

The Southeastern Far.

a LWAYS an event of extraordinary in
~ terest, the Southeastern Fair comes
L. this season with unprecedented
promise and appeal. It's theme is one that
good citizens never tire of--the development
Georgia is the heart. To these interests it
was defeated from its beginning, and it has
served them with everlasting effective
ness.
Inaugurated at a time when the South was
suffering from excess of cotton and a
dearth of food necessaries, this series of eX-
positions has been a potent factor in bring
ing about the better balanced and more en-
richng system of agriculture which now
prevails. Food crops and food animals have
held first place in the Lakewood exhibits,
and the liberal premium lists have been de-
vised largely with view to stimulating
those fields of production.
How successful has been the effort is strik-
ingly evidenced by the 1919 exposition For
abundance and diversity the exhibits make a
new record, and for quality as well. They
give one a prouder and surer feeling of the
South, showing as they do with what
things needful for mans subsistence and
comfort. AS educational service this
years exposition is valuable beyond meas
ure. Every school child should see it, and
no one intereste in the marvellous resources
OF Georgia and her neighbor States can af-
ford to miss it.
The amusement features have been selected
with d1scrtm ination and with a view to
wholesomeness.
The observation-disclosures President
Hastings and Secretary Striplin-are warm
ly to be congratulated upon the work they
have done and upon the splendid prospect
before them.

sum from her canneries, the larger part of it

eating this record. The fruits and vegetables
on which the California canneries thrive can
be grown here as bountifully as there and
as lusciously. In fact, the Georgia peach is
admittedly superior to that of the Pacific
land, wonderful though the latter is; and
there are few harvests of that favored cline
which cannot be brought forth abundantly
somewhere between Rabun Gap and Tybee
Light. But California has outdistanced us in
turning her treasures to account The Hous-
ton Post, admonishing Texas on this point,
we'll says that if the growers of that State
will arrange to preserve their products and
offer them in standard and uniform qualities,
millions of dollars will flow back to them
where thousands come now each season. 1t
is the method Of handling the products that
has built up the great fruit and vegetable
growing industry of California"
Those methods are as available to the South
as to any other region; and State like Geor-
gia has the added advantage of being more
conveniently situated as regards the large
centers of demand. We have made encourag-
ing progress in this field of enterprise in re-
cent years, but we have barely touched the
rich opportunities which lie all about The

FOES OF DEMOCRACY
By DR.. Frank Crane

In China they have any number of bandit
gangs, which being we'll organized and arm
ed, prey upon the people, and get away with
it.
They have all sorts of hifalutin names,
such as Lovers of Mankind, Brothers of the
Poor, the White Souled and so on.
They adopt the tima-tried and effective
2lan Of organizing a band of robbers under
ne sounding title CT an altruistc sentiment.
1t is the same here.
Our Democracy in the u. S. A. is morgan

gangs out for loot or power.
First and foremost are the Political Par

who regard public office opportunity

wealth aggregations of this country are con-

of agitatOrs about the danger from Wall

truth. There is no question but the
capitalistic gang has bribed legislatures, sub
sidized parties, put through unequal laws
and robbed right and left.
Next come the Labor Unions. Just now
they are feeling their oats. Like the Chinese
gangs they advertise Brotherhood and HUI
