The SPECTATOR
There is a campaign against the
South. Perhaps it is against South
erners and not against the South,
for South is good or bad according
to the people.
On my table lies a weekly maga
zine, “The Saturday Review of Lit
erature”. It has published reviews
of some books which are not favor
able to the South. One such book
is by a Southerner. We have some
Southerners, who find eager buy
ers for their opologies for our ig
norance, our narrowness, our mean
ness—and all that.
i am reminded of some “revela
tions” published years ago in Col
lier’s. One man showed that some
of our mill workers received no pay
at the end of the week. Much ado
was made of that. By reading the
photostatic copy of the man’s ac
count it was perfectly clear why he
hadn’t received anything. That at
tack was on the Brandon Corpora
tion. I wrote to “Collier’s” and of
fered to show them far worse con
ditions within a few blocks of their
office.
In the book by a Southerner the
poor share-cropper is held up for
sympathy. What is a share-crop
per? Down here two men make a
bargain for the operation of a farm.
One man, the land-owner, will “fur
nish” the land and the fertilizer;
the other man will “furnish” the
stock and labor. They divide the
harvest. The land-owner provides
the land, usually with house and
barn. If the operation is on the ba
sis of fifty acres of productive land,
there are probably some additional
acres in wootfe. The land-owner is
contributing his investment of three
acres or four thousand dollars (in
days of cheaper land), together with
about three hundred dollars in fer
tilizer. From his share the land-
owner pays taxes, insurance and
upkeep. The stock are fed on the
land, more or less. The share-crop
per lives in the house and gets his
fuel.
If that partnership should result
in a harvest of twenty-five bales
of cotton, three thousand pounds of
tobacco, three hundred bushels of
com, a hundred bushels of potatoes,
twenty-five bushels of wheat, an
adequate supply of vegetables, a
cow, a dozen hogs, fifty crickens,
how would that work out? I think
one could find hundreds of share
croppers who have done as well, as
I’ve suggested. In'dollars and cents,
this year the share-cropper should
have received a half of three thous
and dollars for cotton, a half of sev
en hundred dollars for tobacco. The
hogs, chickens, potatoes and wheat
would have gone to him. Here we
have the share-cropper living at
home, in considerable degree, and
earning more than eighteen hund
red dollars in cash.
You will observe that the three
. thousand dollars for cotton was
about two thausand dollars below
the market.'
Our Suthern critics suggest that
the share-cropper is robbed of his
share. We have no doubt that
many a share-cropper is robbed.
But is anybody else ever swindled?
Let us admit that some people,
many people, are swindled. Not
only are Colored people swindled,
but White people, too. No one can
claim that the South is a little
heaven; what is overlooked is that
the general level of conduct in the
South will bear comparison with
the conduct of any other region on
the earth.
If the South is so bad, so mean,
so oppressive; if the whole attitude
of the South is so glaringly bad that
the' South is a fair target for scorn
and derision of Northern critics, ana
weak apologies of Southern “Lib
erals”, then it must be true that the
North and West must be free from
wrong-doing. In those favored re
gions all must be milk and honey,
one glad, sweet song. As you know,
I must not throw rocks around, if i
myself live in a glass house; nor
must I constantly condemn in an
other man the things I myself do.
You will recall the penetrating
sarcasm of thp Great Teacher when
He said; “And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother’s
eye, but considerest not the beam
tnat is in thine won eye? . . . Thou
hyocrite, first cast out the beam
out of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out
the mote out of thy brother’s eye”.
We haven’t changed much since
the Galilean talked on the “mount”,
have we?
Did you ever hear of “sweat
shop” up North? Even in New
York City. Have our Colored
people been mistreated in New
York, or Boston, or Philadelphia, or
Detroit, or Chicago? Did you hear
how the ignorant immigrant were
exploited up North?
is it true that gangsters terroriz
ed small business in Northern
cities? Yes, it is quite true. Is it
a fact that Southern truck-drivers
were beaten and dragged off their
trucks in New York? Oh, yes; all
too true. Of course that might
have been done only to White driv
ers from the South!
. Our Northern friends need not
try to wear a mantle of superior
righteousness; it doesn’t fit them,
and is unbecoming.
I know that Northern people are
like the rest of us: some good,
others bad; the majority “so-so”.
Some men in Georgia killed a
Colored man. I know nothing ot
the circumstances; on the face of it,
the act was deplorable and the
State of Georgia should investigate
the crime. Human life should not
be cheap, ragerdless of race or Co
lor; nor should we condone bully
ing tactics or acts of oppression. The
South, in general, is as fair and
free from violence as any other
section. We are being played up on
the air, in the newspapers, maga
zines and books, but most of those
who slander the South are cousins
of Judas; they do anything for
thirty pieces of silver. They are
not seeking truth, but isolated cases
of unfairness.
As an example of the exaggera
tion in some of the books, this one
speaks of “scheming by money-
heavy Southern industrialists and
politicians to steal the 1944 election
by the Electoral vote.” I ought to
know something about the cam
paign of 1944, for only South Caro
lina of all the Southern States had
an independent electoral ticket.
Where the heavy money bags were
I do not know. Certain it is that
throughout the whole campaign
there was far less money than was
used in one ward in any city of the
North! And with all this smug as-
suption of righteousness, they over
look the hundreds of millions of
dollars of W. P. A. money spent in
New York State alone for the sake
of having the votes in hand!
How one must thrill to disregard
the virtual corruption of several
million people and talk about in
dustrial money-bags of the South!!
Truly the beam in the eye blinds

What about our driving? I ride on
buses and drive my car hundreds cf
miles every week. I see many cars
and trucks on the roads and streets
of the State. And here is what I
see: A lot of drunken drivers, fre
quently without any liquor. Acci
dents on the roads—so far as I see
—are not due to worn cars; some
accidents may be due to worn-out
drivers. But worn out cars and
worn out drivers cause comparative
ly little of our trouble; liquor prob
ably causes many accidents, though
the driver was not drunk, as we
commonly think of drunkenness.
Many accidents are due to the devil-
may-care speed mania of some
people, and the foolish risks they
take.
Most of us can arrivj on time by
leaving an hour, or even a half
hour, earlier and driving at forty
miles an hour, or thirty five.
Some people seem to think that
a car wont run at less than sixty.
I’m not even thinking of the speed
artists who start with a jump and
reach eighty within a mile.
Slower driving enables one to
control his car; and it permits him
to accommodate his car to that ol
some smart driver, whom we al
ways have with us. You know the
driver I mean; the man who passes
a car going at forty five and would
dash into your car head-on, if you
did not slow up. He is a smart driv
er, he thinks, but he is foolishly im
perilling his life—and yours. If
both approaching drivers are equal
ly foolish—there will be an ambu
lance on the scene soon.
But the drunken driver? The
first drunken driver is just a man
full of spirit—not spirits; he is gear
ed high and dashes around, just full
of pep, though cold sober, so far as
liquor is considered. He is swept
off his feet by a sort of speed ma
nia. And the drunken driver, the
man drunk from drink—when is ne
drunk? What is drunkenness? A
man may seem to be in full pos
session of all his faculties, yet not
quite himself. He may be able to
walk like a Judge and speak as
clearly as a Minister, and yet be out
of timing.
Some insurance companies made
a study of accidents in factories
Their conclusion was that even one
bottle of mild alcoholic beverage
threw out of liming the worker with
his machine, resulting in an acci
dent. Here is what it amounts to:
A man who operates a machine
which makes a hundred turns in a
minute, must time himself to that
machine. One mild drink does not
make him drunk, as we think of
drunkenness, but it speeds him up
