Gazing down the dim corridors of tinie we need no poet's fancy or prophet's vision to descry the halo of elorv that bends above the future of our sunny ; South land. A people brave as the Spartans, as cultured as the Athenians, patriotic as the jllo mans, and as happy as the citi zens of Moore's Utopia; a land fair as the flowers that linei its hill sides and pure as the snow that crowns its mountain peaks; poetry as true as the loftiest strains of Hcmer; oratory as deep as the grandest tLunder ings of . Demosthenes; prosperi ty happiness freedom glory all these greet the eye of the living, moving South. We may never be as wealthy a the North. The immense fortunes of the North are a menace to our free institutions and a curse to their owners. There is more true happiness in the cot tage of the peasant than in the mansion of the millionaire. Af fluence begets vice; luxury be gets laziness. In the compara tive poverty of the South there is no cause for fear or despou dency but rather a cause for cherishing a still deeper faith in the greatness of our future, We may never have the culture and enlightenment and scien tific knowledge of the North and we thank heaven for it.
