ARE SOUTHERN FREIGHT RATES
CHEAPER?

Mr.. Lincoln Green, vice-president of
the Southern Railway Company says
that the South's relative position as
regards freight rates is the best in its
history. Instances of its advantages
are cited by the railroad official
This condition springs from the
fact that freight rates outside the
South have been advanced to much
greater extent than within the South. .
his statement says. When rates in
the East were advanced per cent in
1915 and Is per cent in 1917 no in
creases were made in the South.
Rates in the East were increased 40
per cent August 26, 1920, and in the
West and Southwest were advanced
30 per cent; in the South the increase
was only Is per cent, while rates be-
tween the South and other territories
were increased only 33 1-3 per cent
AS an example of the benefit which
the Southern manufacturers enjoy in
rates on both raw materials and fin
ished products, he cites the following:
"A cotton manufacturer at Green
vile, 5. c., drawing raw cotton from
Hattiesburg, Miss, and shipping his
product to Chicago, paid in 1914 a
combined rate of $1.14 for 100 pounds,
while the manufacturer in Lowell,
Mass, drawing his cotton from Hat
tiesburg and shipping to Chicago, paid
$130, giving the Carolina menufac-
turer a rate advantage of 16 cents
Under present rates the Lowell manu-
while the Carolina manufacturer pays
only $1.SS IL, giving him a rate adj
vantage of "a IL cents"

CIVIL WAR VETERANS

The Grand Army of the Republic
held its annual reunion in Indianapo-
lis September 25 to 49,
Later, in October, the United Con-
federate Veterans gather at Chatta-
nooga.
1t is tragic that these, possibly, will
be the last reunions of the Boys in
Blue and the Boys in Gray. Old age
is sounding taps.
The average age of the soldiers of
the Northern army during the Civil
war was 3d. In the South, it was
lower. Fifty-six years have passed
since Lee surrendered at Appamattox.
So, the age of the Civil war veterans
must average so years.
The G. Al. r. was orgenized in 1866,
with all the yigor and enthusiasm of
the American legion. In 1890 it reach
ed its peak membership of 409, 4S9. In
1917 only 1881 members remained
alive. Now they have dwindled to less
than $4,000.
The Boys in Blue are passing on
their march into eternity at so rapid a
pace that nine years hence the last
one may be gone. That will be taps
for a mighty army that had 2,77S, 900
enlistments and re-enlistments.
The United Confederate Veterans
have dwindled to a membership of only
$4,000 all that is left of the Confeder-
ate army Of $4,000, an army so yalor-

THE STATE PRISON FARM

Every now and then some news
paper jumps on the State Prison Farm
management. If every newspaper man
when he starts to write such an arti-
Gle would lay down his pen until he
could investigate the facts we do not
believe the article would be written.
Considered from every angle the
State Prisan Farm today is far ahead
of any prison management that Flor
ida ever had and ranks with the best
institutions of it's kind in this nation.
The farm is more economically
managed than ever before If it was
only charged as it should be with
cost incident at the farm its financial
showing would be much better. It is
gaining all the time and will become
self supporting. It's pay roll compared
to the number of people confined there
and the work done is insignificant.
While it has escapes it has less than
the State Road Department which has
the guard system (which we admit
under the circumstances to be me-
cessary,) and less than many states
in the union that have guard system
at their Prison Farms. The property
of the statet at the Prison Farm is in
the best of condition and as an in
vestment of it's kind the states plant
is increasing in value every day.
The State Prison Farm instead of
being subject to criticism should be an
object of pride to every Florida citi-
zen.-Jasper News.

THE kU kLux KHAN ONCE MORE

Our deliberate opinion is that the
organization of the Ku Klux Khan is
a deliberate and gross impeachment
of the efficiency and integrity of our
courts, and the more we investigate
its activities the more we are con-
vinced that it is menace to orderly
government.
Following are the comments of some
of our exchanges:
People who believe in rule by secret
organizations should get out of the
United States and go to Russia. They
are menace to American institutions

silver and gold mined since Columbus
landed at Salvador would not meet
the expenses of all government in
these United States, at the present
rate of cost, for full period of four
years and there has been mined many
more times of silver than gold, so it
is sheer nonsense to talk about the

TROUBLE IN STORE FOR THE aIN
VISIBLE EMPIRE

William r. Johnson, Grand Master
Of the Grand Lodge of Missouri Free
and Accepted Masons. has voiced his
condemnation Of the Ku Klux Khan in
no uncertain tones. He says:
As the impression seems to pre-
vail in some sections, declared Mr..
johnson. that the Masonic frater-
nifty is directly or indirectly associated
with the tKu Klux Klan1 secret or
ganization, it is well that the seal
Of disapproval be positively placed by
this grand lodge upon this secret
organization.
We cannot, as Free Masons and
good citizens, recognize the right Of
any secret society or combination Of
men to administer law aid to infiict
punishment upon their fellow men
Such an assumption is subversiye of
our republican institutions, contrary
to the great principles of Free Mason
ry.
An organization that PRACTICES cen
sorship Of private conduct behind the
midnight anonymity of mask and robe,
and enforces it's secret DEGREES with
the weapons of whips and tar and
feathers, must intimately merit and
receive the condemnation of those who
believe in courts. open justice and
good citizenship
Attorney General Daugnerty says,
regarding the probe the government
| is now making into the activities of
the knights of the hood and mask:
Any federal action against the Khan,
would probably be under some statute
covering conspiracy, but the legal
problem involved, he added, was some
what complex. On its face. he ex-
planned, the literature of the Ku Klux
Khan was not in violation of the law.
What was to be determined, he ex-
planned, was what went on behind
the scenes, .the wink and the nod
that turns the trick"

said, lis not to be run or inundated

GOLD OUR FETCH

During the middle of this month our
reserve mounted up to s2,6S4,5O0, 900.
The Palm Beach Post says that
these figures do not indicate that the
country is going broke
Our gold reserve increased $2S, O00,-
900 in one week ending September
a. We certainly are piling UP the
gold these days. In 1915 we worried
along with a gold reserve of less than
six hundred millions and it has been
piling up more or less steadily ever
since The highest figure to the
present was in June, 1919, but We
knew we were rich in those days.
To-day what does all of this noun
tain of yellow metal mean to us? What
good is it doing us? What can we do
with it? We have pretty nearly five
times as much gold as we had six
years ago. Are we five times as rich,
five times as prosperous? Although
Florida has gotten off easily that does
not altar the fact that for bad bust
ness this year has been a record
beater, and there still are six million
unemployed, a positive sign of bad
times
For the life of us we can not under
stand why civilized government
should continue the policy of housing
this yellow metal; putting it behind
solid, granite walls where it is never
used; have men detailed under arms
to guard it, where it remains in dank-
ness and darkness, never entering in
to the channels of trade
What's the good of it?
Thus pampered and isolated it does
not add to the strength or glory of
the nation.
1t is the people that give strength,
tone and dignity to country by their
skill. industry, ingenuity and intel
lectual achievements.
Sir William Jones had the right
conception when he said:
What constitutes a state?
Not high-raised battlements or labored
mound,
Thick wall or moated gate;
Not cities proud with spires and tur-
rets crowned;
Not bay and broad-armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich
navies ride;
Not starred and spangled courts,
Where low-browed baseness watts per-
fume to pride
No; men, high-minded men,
With powers far above dull brutes
endued,
In forest, brake or den,
As beasts excel cold rocks and bram-
bles rude
Men, who their duties know,
But konwing their rights, and, know
ing, dare maintain,
Prevent the long-aimed blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend
the chain;
These constitute state"
These things constituting the true
pillars and strongholds of state we
see no reason why we should make
a fetch of gold and store it away
in vaults, placing men over it to guard

six weeks ago.
