 Directly south and east from Meridian
 about one hundred cottages and num-
 Der of large houses were destroyed along
 with their contents. Also in many parts

For the Good of
 the Community

THAT the south is setting the pace in
 the industrial progressive march is beginning to dawn upon the whole coun- try. For years following the Civil War there were no industries in the south to speak of; agriculture languished for sew eraly years and then when the land owners i. began to get on their feet again the price sofl their products fell away to almost knothing.
 1n Farmers who had a surplus at the end i of the year were the exception and the black night that had come upon the. south seemed to be never ending. At last, how ever, the discovery and development of minerals started things going; the natives got interested and outside capital came in to help in the development.
 That period seems like a nightmare now. The south is no longer the back ward, unprogressive section of forty to sixty years ago. Progress in all lines of in- dustry and in agriculture has been so great that the balance of the country is looking to this section for many of it's necessities and investors are turning their eyes this way. It is the land of prom ise and the hope of the nation in future industrial development and in the stabil- ity of it's citizenship, in which the Anglo Saxon predominates by an overwhelming majority.
 On this subject Richard H. Edmopds, editor of the Manufacturers Record, in a recent editorial of his paper, says:l
 'The thrill of life stirs the south, it's prosperity amazes it's own people, it's farmers are developing their crops to such an extent that cotton now yields only one-fifth of it's farm output its factories of every kind are crowded and many are running night and day to keep some where near the demand for their pro- ducts, it's oil industry which is spreading over vast area is pouring forth never ending stream of wealth matching in value the worlds gold output.
 Prosperity, rampant prosperity, is now beginning to make itself felt from Virginia to Texas, and region which was once poor and unable to buynuch is now one of the worlds greatest markets for everything from diamonds to cook stoves from automobiles and motor trucks to locomotives from blows to cost ly works of art.
 'sThis section, long recognized sas the greatest undeveloped asset of America is now rapidly becoming the greatest de- veloped asset. It furnishes 99 per cent of the country's sulphur without which we could not have made war It grows two thirds of the worlds cotton, without which mankind Would go unclothed and without which we could not have entered the war. It is one of the worlds greatest sources of oil, now fast supplanting coal on the sea and on the land It is land rich in mineral and agricultural poten- tialties unknown elsewhere on earth.
