L k THE SOUTH WAKING UP The South is making wonderful progress but it has to wake UD in manv resnects. Our ro sources as so many and so va- j ried that it is difficult to find the j men and the capital to make its ( progress more rapid than dur-1 ing the past few years. We; cannot do everything at once,; but there are some things that we should do without delay. V v. One is to utilize our raw ma-' ?erial at home and not send it away to be manufactured and returned to us as high-priced w finished products. We have f been sending away our cotton seed meal and feed stuffs from ' our cotton seed oil mills instead of keeping them at home and converting the South into the greatest cattle and stock raising , country on the face of the globe. We have often declared that we should keep our feed stuffs at home and turn them into meat,' butter and cheese. Our cotton seed oil mills turn out the best | stock feed to be found in the ' world, and yet we allow those ; in cold countries in America and ; Europe to use it and make us ; their customers for the more important finished products. The Houston Chronicle tells us that Texas is going to prac tice what The Star has preach-' prl fnr vpnrc Save t\->??f nonoi" I ?' ?* ? V* J U# W timw J7CV]/V/X I "The Panhandle and West. Texas stock raisers have taken the entire output of cotton seed cake from oil mills of northwest, Texas. They are going to feed their stock with it." Good! When North Carolina, and the entire South, follows the lead of those wise Texans we will not | buy our beef from Kansas City I and Chicago, or butter from the "North and West. There are some things that we ought to do without waiting any longer and one is to raise j stock and cattle in the country that is best suited for it. That is in the South, where the best feed stulFs are produced, where there are two forage producing seasons, where grass grows two to three months longer than anywhere else, and where the winters make it easier on stock and cattle and more economical for their keep and care.?Wil- ' mington Star. How Women Are Won. "It ain't looks that wins a gal. It's what a guy can do, what he can make good at, that gets 'em." This is a homely pugilist's explanation of his winning a pret^ ty wife. ? It is the kicking aside of all surface sentiment and stepping directly back to lirst principles. The biggest giant with the biggest club among the ancient cave men got his pick of the cave girls.

And time and civilization and the thin convention of romance with which we veneer our real lives today have not worked any great changes in the vital mo-! tives of either man or woman.

T 1.1 i-Nuw me urst tiling 1 wuuiu advise the farmer to do is to have the editor print for him J some envelopes to use in his cor- d respondence, and probably some c' letter-heads. It will cost but a 11 trifle more than to buy the paper and envelopes at the store and maybe not so much. When ( a man gets a letter printed neatly on the paper, he con- s< eludes that you are at least of enough importance to put your ? name before the world so it can be seen. / Then get familiar with the , editor as a factor in selling your 1 ( stuff. If you give him 15 cents to run you a three line reader 1 in his paper, saying: "Turnip Greens, Onions, Rad- ^ ishes?Henry Jones will be in I1, town on Monday with turnip greens, onions and radishes," you will have the people in the residence streets informed of your coming, and ready to buy j" more quickly than if you argue n the question after you arrive. If you ask them in the paper to telephone an order to your R house before you start to town, you may sell out all the stuff you propose to take before you have it on your wagon. Tell the people through the ^ paper that your Klondike strawberries will be ripe by Wednes- e day, and sell for 15 cents a Q quart. Tell them you have kill- ^ ed a beef and will deliver some desirable pieces of meat on a certain date, at wholesale prices, always naming the price, h Your paper will help you to jy sell the cow that you do not find n a purchaser for among your tj immediate neighbors. It will ^ locate a man who would take a dozen of your eggs for .setting ? at a reasonable price, but who a does not know you have them a unless you tell him in the pa- () per. The paper is merely a man (j with a bigger audience than you can get yourself, and it tells the story to all of them. It tells e what you want to tell, and it v tells it for very little cost.?

Washington, March 12.? ohn Wanamaker, the Philaelphia and New York nier- E hant, has paid to the govern- t lent $100,000 to settle sums of 1 'hich the treasury had been efrauded during the last fifjen years through irregular ractices in the importation of amples of merchandise. Treasury agents working up- t n the investigation were con- It ls ronted with the difficulty of Gowans nding records for the entire colds, ai me involved, but nnnn tlm tested i scords of live years, the gov- m rnment's losses were approxi- far supi lated and a settlement, vol- ever ust ntarily offered by Mr. Wanauiker was accepted as coverlg the entire period over which All I le practices extended.

The "Rag Time" Dance. Somewhere (Go.l help us, we ave lost the exchange), in lontenegro or Samarcand, or laybe it is Chicago, an associaion or concatenation of pur lindprofessors of music are eneavoringing to suppress the rag-time" dance. Bravo! An ssociation which can dare nything like that in the face f the Bull Moose movement eserves the right hand of fel>wship. The origin of music (which xisted before rag-time) is inolved in the mystery which ill ever obscure the beginings of man, its creator.
