THE SOUTH DOING ITS SHARE,
fo
If any one thinks that the North- ar
ern, or the Eastern, or the Western OQ
oa
States have any monopoly upon pa- pj
triotism and effort toward winning CQ
this war, they are in* error and had1 ^
.better set to work tore-shape their y.,
opinions. From all that we can gath- CQ
er, the South is striking a pace that
seems almost amazing when one con se
siders that the South is*not dense- o1.
OK
ly populated by white people, and ac
that in some of the Southern States
the colored population may outnum- .
ber that of the whites. 0?
From letters written by Northern
visitors thev are rather surprised _
* mi
over what the South is doing. Most ^
of them have not been South since
last Spring, returning home before o_
all
war with Germany was an assured
fact. Since then, the South has wonderfully
changed. The Southern *
States seem to realize that they are
in a measure on trial, and they are
vieing with each other and with all .
their sisters of the North an^ West
in seeinc which can best show its de
w til
votion to the Union. The South is no
not doing as much talking as some ^
other sections of the country. Their co
boasts and promises are not quite so jje
loud and so extravagant; but they tr
seem to be there with the goods
when it comes to performance. to]
The result of a recent survey
made by an expert from the Russell jje
Sage foundation for South Carolina wj
serves as an indication of what the t0
South is doing. That State haa fill- ^

"such changes in Georgia in 11 flH

But best of all it is said that there
less German propaganda in the m
'Uth than in any other section of ^Hj
e country. The Southerner will
t tolerate it. If one isn't for the
lited States,he is for some other
untry, and he is plainly told that
had better goto the other coun<f
