Standing around depots and ' hotels and riding- on the trains. 1 one hears tnueh from the lips of 1 the Northern drummer or tourist. In fact, he has the most toi' say oil every subject and at all. 1 times. | lis towering know ledge 1 puts to shame every Southerner^* who may chance near, and the 1 latter holds his peace. The chief ( theme of the Northern Solomon ' or UroeMis i< the utter ignorance * of the Southern people and the 1 poor accommodations afforded by them. Upon this, he dis- 1 courses like the lord of creation. ' the possessor of all knowledge. > and the incarnation of all civili- ^ zation and refinement. ? Some time ago a most excel- f lent specimen oi Northern c??ur- ' iosy and ^nxl breeding was spending the winter in the town 1 of Rock 11 ill. Alter a residence p there of a few weeks, the lovely ^ lady jjave expression to this ^ charitable thought: "The South-!' ern people are really somew hat 'c civili/ed." Civilized the devil! d I The people of the South were 1 civilized Ions* before the Xort'h ip>t rid of their hoofs and loni; ears. It is a matter of history jt where the tirst civilization exist-" ed. Note the barbaric customs 0 of the "dear old l'iljjrim fath-jC ersand at the same time re- c call the fact that the aristocracy j' of Kurope settled the South. from England came the rich ^ land owners, lords, earls andjf others: and from France camel' the best of that country's blood. s The rabble settled in the Xorthjt ?that's the difference. And x blood tells. But the Xorth has not yet out- ;' grown the bad streaks in its in- A hcritancc. The old blood still v crops out; and the worst is that A it is not conscious of the fact. 1 The Northerner actually has the I impudence to think he is better v itlian the Southerner?more "civ-js ilized." And when he comes,f South, ill-humor, bad atmosphere j*1 and ill-manners come \Vith him. * lie stands around the hotels and j ' grumbles because the whole, 1 crew does not stop to do his bidding: walks around town and i calls it a "bum" place; he rubs t people the wrong way and gctso mad because they do not take it.' As for all this, these Northern- a ers come down here for one of v three things: money, health or i pleasure. The drummers, agents s and business men come to ply 1 their trades or sell goods: the. t climate offers healing lor the li gouty, rheumatic old grumbler;.! and the whole Southland is a'c pleasure ground for any whop seek it. .Vow. if these Northern 1 pests don't like the way we do a and live down here, dog-gon i em. why don't they stay at home? c Tin-: AIM;.
