WPA sewing room in Big Horn
county, a total of 1886 garments

ject has been in operation, there
have been IS different women who

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SECTIONALISM IN AMERICA

In his book, Divided We Stand" Walter Pres
colt Webb sees the United States divided into three
sections, or regions, a North South and west
says William Macdonald in review published IN
the New York Times. The theme is repetition OF
what The News and Courier has said many times
In the war for southern independence, the North
defeated the military power of the South. North
ern reconstruction destroyed its political power,
and war and reconstruction between them reduced
its economic power to the vanishing point
language here is Mr.. MacDonald's The North
built up an economic imperialism
Professor Webb emphasizes that in the North
are $50 of the 200 corporations dealt with by Berle
and Means in their study, that between 80 and 50
per cent Of the national magazine advertising IS
supplied by the North, that 3,94S of the 1864 firms
making or selling druggists supplies are in that
section. Northern companies do the bulk OF the lite
insurance business
Against this concentration of capital in the North
is the larger part of the natural wealth OF the
country in the South and the West. Professor
Webb examines the conditions by which the North
has virtually cornered the economic fruits OF the
other sections. Organism, Professor Webb holds
a symptom of the political purpose OF breaking
away from unjust conditions.
We of the South do not need to be told that
the American union of states has distinct sectional
features. We of the South since AppomattoX have
been treated as tributary provinces by the North.
Washingtons policy has been the upbulldlng OF the
North and the South has been bled in pursuance
of that policy. The West has been held in line by
political favors at appropriate times.
President Roosevelt himself has recognized that
the United States has divergent parts 1t was when
he was governor of New York that he said:
Let US remember that from the very beginning
differences in climate, soil conditions, habits, and
mode of living in states separated by thousands OF
miles rendered it necessary to give the fullest IN
dvidual latitude to the individual states.
Remembering that the mining states of the
Rockies, the fertile savannahs of the South, the
praries of the West and the rocky soil of the New
England states created many problems, introduced
many factors in each locality which have no exist
ence in others, it is obvious that almost every new
or old problem of government must be solved, if
is to be solved to the satisfaction of the people
of the whole country, by each state in its own
way"-Charleston News and Courier.

RURAL PROGRESS IN HENDERSON
COUNTY

One familiar with Henderson county Tor
the past decade cannot fail to be impressed
by the progress made in the rural sections
of the county in that time. This progress
extends to new farms brought into cultlya-
ton, recovery of old lands, improvements
in farming methods and IN the conditions
of rural life. New and improved homes
have been erected here and there through
out the county and the standard of living
has been lifted. At the same time great
Improvement has been made in farming
methods and in building up the soil. -..
The outlook for the present year is for
a continuance of the development program
in the county. 1t is believed large pro-
portion of our rural population will en-
deavor, individually and collectively, to
continue to pursue these policies which
will further increase the advancement OF
rural interests. Improvement of soil, live
stock, poultry, of conditions in and sur
rounding the homes of the county are I'M
doubtedly purposes in the minds Of all our
progressive farmers. .s.
The fact is that the country population
of Henderson county is advancing so rap
idly that it becomes question if the peo-
pie of the county town are going to be
able to keep pace with them unless they
accelerate the forward march of this CON-
munity.
The Times-News, m the beginning of the
new year, unites with all progressive peo-
pie of both town and county in the view
that the forward march in material prog
ress of all our people can be maintained
in 1888 and a more satisfactory record
made than in any preceding year.
