The Miracle South.
From the Asheville IN. c. Citizen.

The South!
From the Potomac to the Rio Grande the
working OF miracles is her daily habit. The
uncomfortable richness of her soil, the work
manship of her people, the magic OF her
manufacturers all are in a happy conspiracy
to proclaim her to the world as the supreme
industrial and agricultural wonder OF all his
tory. Forty years ago poverty STRICKEN TO-DAY
she out distances competition. She enrlches
all who give her their industry and enterprise
Her future is unreasonable.
According to recent estimates OF the Amer
lean Petroleum Institute the south produces
more than half of Americas petroleum and
more than one-third of the entire world
supply.
But that is only an isolated instance. Take
these figures to supplement it.
The south produces all of the nations cot
ton and 90 per cent of the worlds; lOO per
cent OF the countrys rosin and turpentlne;
90 per cent of the country's aluminium; IS
per cent of the country's natural gas gaso-
line. 90 per cent of the countrys commercial
fertilizers: 90 per cent OF the country S
graphite; 50 per cent of the countrys lumber;
IS per cent of the country's lead; 100 per
cent of the country's tobacco; 100 per cent
Of the sugar cane and peanuts; IS per cent
Of the sweet potatoes; 20 per cent OF the
carly spring vegetables and 81 per cent OF
the rice.
The south is rapidly taking from New Eng
land the leadership of the worlds cotton
manufacturing; and every new cotton mill
that is built nowadays is located in the south.
The south is pushing the middle west hard TOR
leadership in furniture making; and High
Point, n. C., manufactures more furniture
than any other city in the world save Grand
Rapids.
Above all, the characteristic of the south
is that she is just on the threshold OF her
magnificent possibilities. Billions are yet to
come from her soil, her water power and her
manufactures. Products now unexpected are
to enrich her many times over Her fertility
Of soil is scarcely appreciated 1t is an acre
OF southern land that boasts of having grown
more corn than any other acre of ground in
the world.
The south! The Croesus of America! The
Fl Dorado OF twentieth century capital!

A Grateful Citizen.
From the Fitzgerald Herald.

In an era of tax-dodging, governmental
criticism and 'll-concealed distrust here is a
refreshing incident
Wesley Jordan, a farmer dying at the age
OF Is in Lancaster o., leaves a will provid-
ing that after his burial expenses are paid
the rest OF his estate, amounting to $4,000,
shall be converted into cash and paid over
to the treasurer of the United States. That is
to say he gives all his property to the gov
ernment and through the government to all
OF Us.
Why does he do this curious thing? Not
from guilty conscience, as some cynic may
think He does it in ful6lment of vow,
made years ago, that some day he would
pay the debt of gratitude he owed to the
United States of America for the privileges OF
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that
he had enjoyed.
In the presence of such proof of faith
and gratitude cynicism has no place. Perhaps
it leaves most OF us a little ashamed 1t stirs
patriotism anew. 1t makes us realize all at
once that, whatever may be the defects OF
our governmental system or the weaknesses
OF those who administer it, the essentials OF
freedom and opportunity do abide.

Film Legislation.

Congressman w d. Upshaw who, as a
representative from Georgia, thundered
against the alleged abuse of prohibition laws
bv high government officials has introduced
a bill providing for federal control of the mo-
ton picture industry He insists the legisla-
ton would not constitute a censorship, but
admits that the proposed commission should
have Supervision and control" This commits
sion would also fix prices over all branches
Of the motion picture business and regulate
production in such away as to provide the
public with pictures wholesome that nc
evil will need to be eliminated"
Ii would be a censorship after all Declare
ton by the author of the bill OF the necessity
of such legislation presumes an existing con
dition so at fault that government interior
erce in behalf OF the public is required, But
is that true? Are motion pictures OF today
SO bad, so unwholesome that the government
ought to feel called upon to straighten thing:
out?
There is Just ore kind of censorship tina
meets the requirement OF the situation. Iha
is the moral support or disapproval OF The
public It may be said that, regardless o
some doubt on the subject the standard Is
still pretty high in this country There are
more honest than dishonest people, more who
prefer decency to indecency, more who stanc
for the right than for the wrong If that is
not so it were time to do something abou
it; and if it be true, censorship of motor
pictures safely can be left in the hands of the
people

The Change in Mind.

at is the spirit that does things" The word
spirit, incidentally, seems to mean a desire
for community or county or state improve
ment, coupled with the willingness to work
towards bringing these things about.
Terrell county believes things will be bet
ter in 1924. Citizens have had numerous in
dcations that such will be the case Among
ether things they believe that conditions will
improve and thus believing, if for no other
reason, there will be improvement.
1t is a human failing, if it may be called
such, to exaggerate and to be proud of their
misfortune A proof of this is shown in the
fact that some people actually anticipate with
pleasure major surgical operation, but ut
terly abhor the idea of having measles.
We are improving, and will recover just
as fast as we will let ourselves recover.

An Unusual Governor.
From Ford's Dearborn Independent

The governor of Ohio sat in his private
office in the state house at Columbus late one
night He had a problem to solve, and
couldn't find the solution. By no combination
of figures could he add five and two and get
a total OF nine, yet that is what an 1ntelll-
gent, adult legislature had decreed,
Therefore the bill got the ak. 1t was one
OF seventy-six vetoed by the governor, a rec
ord not only for Ohio but for all other states.
And when he vetoed the last bill A. Victor
Donahey, or just plain Vic as he IS unothclally
known, crashed into national prominence and
became a possible contender in the preslden-
tal derbies But Vic isn't interested. He
has one Job and he hasn't finished it yet He
won't talk to ANYBODY about any other job.
There is one other element in the makeup
of Donahey the governor, which sets hum
out as an unusual man. In years gone by one
of the chief duties of the governor OF Ohio
has been to make commencement addresses,
speak before forums, chambers Of commerce
and generally make himself conspicuous about
the state All of which may be perfectly
agreeable to a governor, ii he has other po-
ltica1 aspirations, and to the audiences which
take pleasure i'll meeting the states chief
executive.
But Donahey takes different attitude He
believes he was elected to serve the people
and not to make speeches and gaHvant about
the state day i'll and day out and week i'll
and week out, repairing political fences or
seeking to strengthen those already strong.
He believes he can be better governor
by sticking to the job in his office at Column
bus than by waving the flag to get hurrah;
that actions speak louder than words So de-
spite the fact that he has received hundreds
OF invitations to banquets and to address va
ried gatherings he has turned them all down
He will continue to do so.
He also has the idea, mistaken idea most
politicians would say, that no man is entitled
to that which he has not earned. He lives up
to this preCept as shown in the following
1t is the ambition OF nearly every man to
be honored by a university or college and to
be able to tack to his name an LID. or
some other degree whether it means any
thing or not Not so long ago the governor
was approached by representative OF a state
educational institution with the suggestion
that if he make the commencement address
he might be awarded such a degree With
characteristic brevity Donahey replied that
he would like to have the degree, it had been
one OF his ambitions to have a degree but
that he had not earned it and could not and
would not accept anything which he had not
earned.

not to file was known to the leaders OF both
parties, and they did everything in their
power to induce representative partisans to
file, but without success. No self-respectng
citizen of the district wants to represent it.,
because of abuse at home and little prospect
Of accomplishing anything worth while at
Washington So far as that district is con-
cerned it will elect none but the best man,

Things of Beauty.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.


The Beauty Foundation of America" an
nounces that it is to have a beauty show
on November 18th in Madison Square Gar
den, in which the entrants will be eighty
eight beautiful women, chosen by Rudolph
Valentino during a recent tour of American
cities 1t requests publicity
OF course the first impulse is to ignore
such request 1t is an importantly from
those pests of newspaperdom, the press agents
whose business it is to get free advertising
Tor patent medicines, prma donnas, polltl-
Clans soaps. movie actors and similar arti-
cles But this announcement is really a sign
OF the times In effect, New York is going
to become city fair. Why not? Town and
villages have country fairs. And why shouldn't
city show its live stock, the kind it deals
in as we'll as the country? If the farmers and
their wives pass in front OF COWS and pigs,
admiring their fine points, why not New
Workers review what is on the hoof for their
inspection? Should there be discrimination
between beauty and the beast? And what a
thrill will come to the exposures from the
provinces when they are ogled by the many
races that have found asylum in America 5
greatest city.
OF course we have an old grudge against
the judge of the contest, Rudolph Valentino.
He once pinned side whiskers on the youth
OF the land He now is to pin blue ribbons
on bovine beauties. Let us hope with hap
pier results.
