A :racticable Program of Progress and Whi it Would Mean to Every South ern Industry and Interest. [From an Address by Clarence H. Poe. Editc of the Progressive Farmer and Southern Far Gazette (of Raleigh N. C.. and Starkvile. Miss delivered before Southern Commercial Cot gress. Washingtou. D. C.. Tuesday AftCrncol y Decenbcr S. 1908.1 The captains and the kings de part:' our bankers, our manufac turers. our merchants, our law yers. our doctors, all these hav brought their reports, worthy inspiring, notable, and all o these men I honor: but here a the last I bring to you your for gotten man. the man who, of al men, is re-building and must re build the South-the man behin( the plow. Thirty years ago and more tha great hearted and far-seeins Southern poet, Sidney Lanier gave us the key-note of Southeri development and the burden o: my adpress in a paragraph tha every Southern school-boy ough to learn by heart: A vital revolution in the farm ing economy of the South, if it i. actually occurring, is necessaril3 carrying with it all future South ern politics, and Southern rela tions, and Southern art, and suct an agricultural change is the on( substantial fact upon which an3 really New South can be pre dicated." It is Lanier's old message tha1 . I would bring to you to-day-anc yet I bring a new message too: that at last we have definitely se1 about the fulfillment of his dream. To tell you what this means tc you -and to the South and to asi you for your support in carrying p it to success, is the object of m3 coming. Average Southern Farmer Should Make $501 More a Year. As a background of my story and in' order that we may see it: large meaning in the right per. spective, I must first of all cai. your attention to two statistica } facts. First, as to the overwhel m. ing predominance of rural inter ests in the South, the census showing that more-than 80 pei cent of our population is rural and that the South is to day the one section of America of whic: it is true that there are more peo ple engaged in agriculture than in all other occupations combin ed. Second, as to the efficiency and earning power of these peo p pie heretofore, the last census showing the average annual yal ue of products per farm in the North Atlantic States are $984, in the South Atlantic as $484. ox exactly $500 per year less; in the - North Central States as $1,074, in the South Central, $536-o1 ~$588 per year less. And with this at my basis, 1 am ready to lay down three or four propositions Swhich I wish to hammer home tc Syour mtnds: 1. To bring up its earning pow - $500 more a year for each South ern farm is the supreme task and opportunity of our generation. 2. It is not only our supreme task and ambition, but it is a real 9 izable ideal, a workable, practic able program of progress. 3. It is not only our supreme . task, and a realizable one, but is one upon whose success depends the prosperity not only of the South as a section and Southern ers as a whole. but also (and more important) the prosperity of you yourself as an individual, and of every individual Southerner-' j the farmer no more than tbe banker, the merchant, the rail :road man, thelawyer, the preach S. er, the teacher, the statesman. The prosperity of every trade, art and craft in a community and the prosperity of every individ ual in the community, from the boy on the street who biacks your shoes to the master mmnd who or s. ganizes your rrilway systems or governs your State-the prosper ity of every man, I say, depends ir upon the prosperity of the aver age man, this average man in the South being a farmer-and this Ois the greatest truth that I hope to bring you to see with me this afternoon. 4. And then the hopeful fact -the fact that alreddy earnest -men -and women, working here and there in different lines of en deavor, have developea almost -unconsciously the several comn ponent parts of a fairly compre hensive and well-rounded scheme of rural development, a.primaary and essential part of which is this getting $500 more a year farming in the Southern States-a scheme of education which embraces young and old, not only the farm boy in the school, but the aduli farmer and the farmer's wife as well. An Appeal to the South's Commercial Inter ests. And now, as the spokesman oi the South's agricultural interests, I come to you to appeal for you1 support, to ask you as citizens and as leaders to join in a greal movement for rural developmen1 in the South. And I am going tc base my argument not on an3 plea as to what this developmen1 will mean to the South as a see ~ion, or to Southerners as whole, but upon what it will meai to you as an individual. My hop< is to show you that your individ ual prosperity is dependent upoi the prosperity of the averag man in the South, this avera gi man (I repeat) being a farmer. Too long, my fellow Southern ers, a large element of our poe rple have cherished a differen efeeling. Too long, too long, ah, tragically too long-men hay thought or said, "If I am a mer chant, lawyer, manufacture! preacher. railway man, banke or teacher, it matters little to m (except, of course, as a matter c altruism or benevolence) whethe agrcltr prosers or noi E whether the man in the field ignorant or educated, is progres ing or retrograding, is prospe .ing or suffering." I come to you to-day to tell yc that this is the felling f.hat he cost the South leadership. Th is the sentiment that has kel our manufactures, our commerc our literature, our education that has kept one and all of the: chained down to the unprofitabl level of our unprofitable averag man. our man behind the plov Increase his earning-capacity an you increase the earni'g capacit and you increase the earning c< pacity of every other worker i the South: free him from th chains of unprofitable, becaus misdirected, labor, and you cu . the hindering shackles of ever 1 other worthy interest in th Southern States. Ah, if our statesmen and put lie men in the South these las thirty years could only have rea ized the fundamental truth i Lanier's utterance-"A vital rec olation in the farming econom of the South is necessarily carry ing with it a1 future Souther politics and Southern relation and Southern art, and such ai agricultural change is the on substantial tact upon which an, really New South can be predic ated!" Al, if they could onl, have; realized that the prosperit of every man depends upon th prosperity of the everage man! Prosperity of Every Man DependenfUpc Prosperity of the Average Man. I do not know whether or no it has ever been worked out as principle of political economy but anyhow it is unquestionabl: true that wealth is- by nature no aristocratic, but democratic. Th poorer every other man is, th poorer you are. The richer ever; other man is, the richer you are Every man whose earning powe is below par, below normal, is burden on the community: h drags down the whole level o life, and every other man in th community is poover by reason o his presence, whether he be whit man. or negro, or what not. You untrained, inefficient man is no only a poverty-breeder for him self, but the contagion of its cur ses every man in the communit; that is guilty of leaving him un trained. The law of changeles justice decrees that you must rise or fall, decline or prosper, wit] your neighbor. You will be rich er for his wealth, poprer for hi poverty. And so to day every man why is tilling an acre of land in the South so that it produces onl; hal.f what intelligently directe< labor would getout of it is a bur den on the community, is drag ging down the levei of life fo every other man in the commun ity. Suppose you are his fellow citizen; then becanse of his inel ficiency, his poverty, because o his failure to contribute to publi funds and public movements yoi must have poorer roads, poores schools, a meaner school hous and court-house, a shabbie church, lower-priced lands; you teacher will be more. poorly paid your preacher's salary will b smaller, yout- newspaper- wil have a smaller circillation, you: town will have a poorer market your railroad smaller traffic, you merchant smaller trade, you bank smaller deposits, your man ufacturer diminished patronage and so on and so on. . Negro Must Become More Efficient or Giv Way to Immigration. The ramifications are infinite unending. And the doctrine i true whatever the color of th man. The ignorant negro in th South is one of the greatest ecc nomic burdens with which an; people has ever had to contend From travel and observation 11 ten Southern States. I have al most worked it out as a principl< of political economy that, othe things being equal, States an< communities are prospering i proportion to their white popu lation. I do not know what w are going to do with the negro. do know that we must eithe: frame a scheme of education an< training that will keep him froc dragging down the whole leve of life in the South, that wil make him more efficient, a pros perity-maker and not a poverty breeder, or else he will get ou of the South and give way to th white immigrant. No acre of lan< will long own as its master th' man or the race who mistreats1 and makes it untruthful. Eithe we must have the negro traine' or we must not have them at all Untraned, he is a burden onl u all. Better a million acres of ur tilled land than a million acres o mistilied land. Let us remember then that ou economic law knows no color line White or black, the man whos edicency is above par is a'heli white or black, the man whos efficiency is below par is a hind rance. Some Great Fallacies and What They Ha1 Cost, Us. "The farmer, the common lal orer of any sort, needs no trait ing. Educate him and you spo him. The poorer you keep hmn the richer will be tne upper class. These have been our pet falli 1cies. And a long time have the - been preached. Hugging thi I vampire delusion, the Souther plantation owner, has been, va areas abandoned to broomsedy and gullies, in spite of the fat - that intelligent handling won] - have kept them productive thousand years. - Preaching this fatal doctrin a the merchant has sold Wester - meat and scootors and tobacc' ,when with prosperous patrons I ' mighthagqe quadrupled his profi Sby selling sulky plows and ha f vests and carriages and pianos r Deluded by this fallacy, tl tatesmn ha struggled agrain is fate, only to die and be forgotter by people too poorly educated t< c read his biography, and too pooi in property to build a monu men1 u to his memory, while smaller ai .s: meaner men in sections nnshack s led by these ancient errors, ar >t famed in song and story. Writing editorials in suyport o - the aristocratic instead of th e democratic theory of industry e the editor has seen his patent e outset weekly fail of support . when a properly trained and edu. d cated people would have brough1 y him wealth as the head of a pros L- perous daily. u Fighting public taxation fo: better schools and other methods e of training and enriching the t average man. your manufacturer y .has struggled along with a small e business when a prosperous aver, age man would have given us great industries like those in the t North and West. Still arguing- that education a and training would spoil the working man, and that "cheap labor" is what we need. your banker has complained that the a South offers no opportunities for s the great financier, forgetting i that cheap, unprosperous labor e means small unpresperous banks. Opposing taxation for better schools. the railroads hauling cotton in the fall and low grade r fertilizers in the spring. have e fought passenger rate reduction as a life and death matter when a well-trained people would sup ply the various traffic and the heavy dividends of the other sec t tions. Your lawyer, doctor, preacher, - teacher-each falling in line with 7 the ancient hersy, has paid the t penalty in diminished fees, dim inished salaries, diminished influ e ence. 7 Victims of the vicious teach . ing I am pointing out, your men r of talent-artist, scupitor, poet, orator. have too aften fled to other sections, or else have died f with vision unfulfilled among a people untrained to appreciate f their genius-When but for these things you might see statue of r Southern leaders in every t Southern city, the work of - Southern artists in the world's greatest gallaries, the thought of the Southern poet the com - mon heritage of mankind. It is s not that we have had no might a dreamers; it is that they sleep 1 in neglected graves trampled - under foot by war. and waste, s and error. Now war and waste, thank ) Good, are behind us. Let us also put error behind us. The South's Greatest Errors. Of all our errors our greaetst has been the failure to recognize the fact that the prosperty of every man depends upon the prosperity of the average man and in many cases the actual ac ceptance of the doctrine that the State is benefied by having cheap. untrained labor. We have seen on the'contrary that such labor is a curse. And our second great error ehas been like unto it-the belief that even if the prosperity of the average man, we are too poor to train him. The truth 'is, that we are too poor not to do so. Th'e fullest and only positive guarantee of Southern prosper ity, and by this I mean the pros. perity not only of our section and our .institutions and of so ciety as a whole, but the pros. perity of every individual-every e farmer, every laborer, every merchant. every manufacturer, every professional man, every inhabitant as I have said, from the boy who blacks shoes to the master- mind that builds your railroad systems or governs your State. And having once accept ed this doctrine concerning the everage man-and the aver-age man in the South being a farm er-we shall not be slow to put Sinto effect that large and com prehensive program of rural de veopment which earnest men and womeu, workm~g in many differe.tent lines have gradually brought into shape-a program which looks to the ultimate j boubling of 'the output and the more than quadrupling of the 1 profits of that occupation which I engages the attention of more . people in the South than all .other occupations combined. The Great Revolution That Has 1low Begn and-What it Will Do. Then indeed will the South blossom as the rose: then indeed will the long ambitions or our rfathers come at last into glorious fruitage. Not only will the comn mon farm houses in .the South be supplied with all the conven iences our city brethren now enjoy, good roads and telephones rand fine stock and fat acres greeting the glad eyes of an awakened people; but every mn dustry known to our Southland will throb with new vigor as d~ fresh blood had been poured intc --the viens. Great mercantile houses will grow up among us eC rivaling those of the North and West, and Southern merchants -will make the big profits thai -. come with big sales instead of 1I the small profits invitable witil , small sales. (Merchants in the "West are selling automobiles ot farmers; compare, if you zwill, y the profits on automobiles anc s ox carts.) Manufacturers of a n thousands things for which there t is now no profitable Southerr e market, we shall; and our labor -,t ing men, finding room for great d er skill and higher wages, wit a walk with quicker step an lighter hearts. Bankers will nc 3, longer own allegiance to othe: n sections, but our own financia: , institutions -will become thi e equals of ans in America. Oui :s newspapers will grow greate: e-- stronger subscription and adver tising patronage, and Northerr e men and women will begin t< --+ ea Southern magazines an( Southern dailies. Our railroads will double track old lines to supply the new demands, and new lines will be built to quicken t dead sections into life. Able lawyers will no longer go North to find big fees, foreign pulpits will no longer be able to take our strong religious leaders from us. our poet-souls and rtist souls will find here at last the atmos phere in which they best can flourish, our statesmen will speak with potent voices in the councils of the nation, and the eye of every Southern school boy wil sparkle with a keener pride as he learns the story of a generation that has wrought as well-as in peace as the fathers fought in war. These are the things we have now set to win, these are the things which are the things which are to come about with that agricultural revolution upon which alone can any really New South by predicted. Thinks High License Will Result. Editor The Manning Times: On the 3rd inst., there assembled in Columbia a conference of Prohibition ists. and this conference decided to ask the members of the incoming Legisla ture to pass an aet giving the Smte a State-wide Prohibition law, forgetful of the fact that there is no member of that Legislature to be, that is in any way committed to the question of whis key in any shape or form. Every voter in this State can plainly recall to mind that two years ago the whiskey issue was a political contest be tween the State Dispensary and Local Option, and that local option won and that every true and fair minded Demo crat accepted to result as final. The county dispensary. under ,local option, has like the State dispensary, had its enemies and any credit to the plan has been given very grudgingly indeed. Two years hence, there will be in our opinion a different political opin ion in this State of this same question of alcoholic stimulants. In that lapse of time the voters of this State will be clothed in their right minds and will by their votes show to the country that they will permit no gang of cranks and fools posing as pro hibitionists to bridle and muzzle their liberties as free men. The best thing the Legislature can do at its approaching session is to let the question of State-wide prohibition alone and leave thesquestion of State-wide to the voters of this State to settle among themselves at the next election. We still Believe that th'ere should be a dispensary established at every coun ty seat in South Carolina and let those who are disposed to buy intoxicants buy them, and let others that want to be prohibitionists let them be so, and let them be consistent in their walks of life as pertains to strong drink then they can be teachers, and not as in many instances, it is the blind leading the blind. Were we a member of the Legisla ture to be, we would cast our vote from start to finish to let the whiskey ques tion remeain as it is, and two years from now let the advocates for whiskey and the- advocates against the same discuss the question freely and openly from every stand point and let the voters of this State decide the question for them selves. We are and ever will be opposed to any gang fetching up at churches and discussing th4 question of whiskey when the people of a community has assem bled themselves together for relhgious - services. The prohibitionmsts may with their lately converted and turn-coat allies bring about State-wide prohibi- "I tion, but in our guessing, before many havi years. the next move on the political at chessboard will bigh be license, was GEORGE R JONES, Davis Station, December 14th. 1908. me as n Sitting Buli. you To look at Sitting Bull one would say for that he was always quiet and self con tained. In fact, he did usually keep himself under control, but he was cruel ..g and almost heartless. He had prac ticed cruelty to animals and men from his childhood and as long as he lived; fri he was full of passion-and often very her. angry. He was always imperious andsh: insolent toward our generals, the In- havt dian agent and other friends of the eavo great father at Washington, whom he claimed to hate. He had great talent and ability to plan campaigns and bat tIes and wonderful influience in bring- ny ig Indians together. No.twithstand- tha ing all this, he was afraid of ,death. and, though he planned the greatest victory which the Indians ever gained over white men, Sitting BulL himself was a coward and disgraced himself even before his own people by running away in the very face of success.- T General Howard in St. Nicholas. ms sive Folklore Stories- sibil The Journal of American F'olklore has some interesting ielk tales of theeni Nez -Perces Indians: "Once the sun fell down from the S sky just about sunrise.
