towns and cities are developing rapidly

done at every turn in the road, hia
country is developing, working out new
problems building and now coming
along the road the east traveled fifty
years ago. The south is solving social
problems; it is working out industrial
questions; it is wrestling with great
agricultural matters. Indeed, the south
as little as the travelers may believe
it, is a scene of s^renuousness and
change. The man \\ho comes in for a
day and is out again may not realize
this, but it is a fact.
This spirit of restless progress and
development is reflected in the news
papers of the section. The newspopers
are bearing the bui'den, as they should
by reason of their very i.ature. but it
has often occurred to us that, in many
towns where the people want progress
and development, they are too much
inclined to say let the newspapers do
the work. There is scarcely a day in a
southern city that &ome movement is
not launched by a company of influen
tial citizens, with the hest intentions,
that is not absolutely dependent for its
success upon the subsequent strenuous
support of the newspapers. As soon as
the resolutions are duly adopted the
meeting adjourns and it is up to the
newspapers to do the work.
Now publicity is a marvelous thing.

ous power. And public achievements

WashingtokuNews Letter
That President Wilson has no inten
tion of going outside of his present
official family to find a successor to
VVilliair, Jennings Bryan as Secretary
ot State, seems to be the genei’al im-
pressioji here. The principal reason is
said to be the desire of the President
to get a man already in touch with the
various international problems facing
the adniinistration.
Robert Lansing, Secretary of State
interim, has been given the appoint^
ment. Although not resembling Abra
ham Lincoln in physical appearance to
even a remote degree, he has much of
the personality of the emancipator. Ho
has the war Presiden’t ability always
to keep his temper, to speak his mind
instantly in simple, homely, but cor
rect English, to withhold information
without being troubled or embarrassed
and tu maintain a serene, judicious
mind while around is hurrying and
shouting and the whole world seems
about to plunge into ruin.
State Department officials do not
expect a reply from Germany to the
President's recent note on Germany’s
submarine warfare until about July
10th. This expectation is based, not
on any official estimate from Berlin,
but on reports which deal the engage
ments of the Kaiser, who it is under
stood desires personally to indioato
what the rely shall contain.
The War Department has completed
estimates of the cost of the first year
of Mexican intervention. In the event
that President Wilson, in order to re
store order south of the Rio Grande,
sends an American army into that
country. The estimates are for' one
year and are fibred on the basis of an
army of 500,000 men. The estimated
cost of the intervention for the first
year is said to be fully $800,000,000.
To persons here who are most close
ly watching the Mexican situation and
who haye first hand information as to
conditions as to leaders ,there, the
brighteafc spot appears to be the ap
parent disintegration of the tw'o
strong factions headed by Carranza
and Villa. A movement, backed by a
group of men now exiled from Mexico,
and on whom the President believed he
could depend when, in his last Mexican
prononucement,he threatened to get be
hind a man or group of men to restore
order, is expected ultimately to re-
establiajx
Tnfe story that an American citizen
recently offered President Wilson a
$1,200,000 campaign contribution as
the piice of his permission for the
sale of the 335,000 Krag Jorgensen
rifles which the War Department re
fuses to part with during the period
of war in Europe, created a stir in
Washington generally, although there
are a number of high officials here to
whom the whole affair has for some
time been known. The White House
declined to make any comment upon
this new phase of the much-talked-
about efforts of the last ten months to
have the government sell to represen
tatives of the fighting European na
tions these discarded rifles.

The fact that the American Consul
in Trieste has made sharp protest
against the treatment of the Italian

take care of themselves; but the men
are in the army fighting under compul

Slaton’s Outgoing
The closing days of Slaton’s Admin
istration as Governor of Georgia were
cast in stormy times. He was neither
a robber or a wrecker, nor an official
who had administered- the affairs of
the State unwisely. He had simply
exercised clemency where he thought
the cause of humanity and justice re
quired it. He did this in the face of
a factional mob spirit, while at his
back was the [sustaining sentiment of
the people as a whole. The focus cf
his'unpopularity is small and relatively
