THE SOUTH'S NEW DAY
editor and Publisher) }

editor and Publisher).)
The South is not newly rich" She
is merely utilizing and developing the
assets which have always been hers.
And this amounts for the magnificent
prosperity her people are now enjoy
ing and which is but the harbinger
Of what is to come.
1t is fortunate for the nation that
the South is now coming into her
own in material way--fortunate that
her long dormant resources are now
being converted into national wealth
For Southern prosperity cannot be
fenced in. It overffows the old boun-
daries of states and sections, and ii
enriches all who have the vision to
understand and to participate in this
great industrial development. The
products Of her soil and of her for.
ests, mines and factories, now made
available for her own people and for
the people of the world bring to her
properly food of gold. But they ada
as we'll to the sum of the nations
wealth. and become part Of the
basic treasure of the republic.
In this new day of the world,
which witnesses the passing Of the
old order, revified Southland is
playing a momentous part. The old
lethargy is no more, the old barriers
to a full and free commercial ex-
pansion have been destroyed. In the
industrial Transformation now going
on the South loses nothing-she
merely finds herself. She sacrifices
70 cherished tradition, abandons no
high ideal. The grandsons of Pick
ett's men hold to their heritage of
chivalry and courage. In the great
war for world freedom they have
added new 1uster to record which
has always been spotless. Southern
women are quite as beautiful and
charming as were their grandmoth-
ers who ministered with unmatched
devotion to the soldiers who fought
under Lee. They are worshipped as
of old. The day Of chivalry has not
passed in the South. But the cay Of
commercial and industrial greatness
has dawned.
The publishers of Southern news
papers who are to meet in conven-
ton at Asheville within a few days
have ample reason for pride and sat
sfaction-pride in the memory Of un-
stinted service to the nations cause
in the war and satisfaction because
OF the turn of the wheel of life which
brings the South into the enjoyment
Of it's Inheritance. Southern newspa-
pers are growing rapidly into the full
stature of dominant American pub
locations. They are putting behind
them the old, slow processes. They
are marching with the procession
we'll up toward the front. They are
rejecting Southern life and aspira.
tions, interpreting the new order in
the worlds life with understanding

pull Ladysmith and Rusk county again

Liberty Loan was $110,000.O0 while
Ladysmith's share of that tOtal was
500, 10000 In order to put Ladysmith
over the top it was necessary for a
number of patriotic business men of the
city to organize pool among them
selves to take the balance unsubscribed,
this amount to be diminished by sub
scriptiOns that may yet be made by
some who have SO far subscribed moth
ing toward the Victory loan or for less

especially will be pleased to know that

cent to the city's principal park. surely
some consideration should be given to
the matter of artistic beauty SO that it

build an misunderstanding bridge than

smith that the corporation will be per
fected the last days Of this month, and
we expect to open our doors before July

We do not feel that this move will
lessen the business of either OF the
banks there In fact it should not be-
cause both banks are now, in my opill-
ion. well conducted, but we do believe
that especially amongst the foreign
element the very name of National
Bank will add to their confidence and
we further believe that more Of the
federal business will be done in Rusk
county and that this move means d
large addition to the money in circula-
tiOn in our county.
