A WONDERFTL STORY. One of the nio-r wonderful stories we have r*-ad tu some time is the one writ ten of the tremendous development of the South by Editor Edmonds. of The Manufacturers Record. The story by Mr. Edmond' was written at the ..request of the Baltimore New>. and sets forth an array of facts and figures “that are enough to make any South-loving patriot throw out hi> ehest in worrhy and justi fiable pride.** to quote from The Char lotte News. In nearly all lines of human progress, material and educational. Mr. Edmonds wrote, the South today with 86.000.niN) inhabitants, including in this estimate Missouri and Oklahoma, is far and away ahead of the United Stares in ISSO with 50.000.000 population. In many respects the South of today is in advance of the United States in 19<Hi. and in.some re spects late ns 1010. The South today lias $4,000,000,000 more capital invested in manufacturing than the United States 'had in 1880. Its capital invested in its cotton mills is five times a> great as the capital >o invested in the entire country in 1-vso. Tl e production or coal Tn the South last year was more than twice as great as th<* total production of coal the United States in 1880. The value of the South's agricultural products last year was $5,291.01)0.000. a< compared with $2.212.0fMi.00<7. the total value of agricultural products of the Unite,i States in lssii. The South's railroad mileage is almost exactly that of the United States m 4880. and the value of it> exports la»t year ex cceded by $500,000,000 the fotal exports of the United Slates in l's'sO. Upon public school education tlm South expended in 1920 over $204,000.- 000. a- compared with $78,000,000. the total amount expended by the United States upon public school education in 1 ssO. Southern insurance companies had in force in the South in 1921 $1,744.- (MKt.tMHi of life insurance, or an increase of 0.359 per cent, over 1904. The value *f farm property in the South quadrupled between 1.1 alO and 1920. ris ing from $5.fc02.000.000 i n 1900 to $21.- 085.000.000 in 1f)20.

The totql deposits in all tlte bankl^if the South iu 1900 amounted to $681,000.- • M>o. Iti 1922 these deposits aggregated $6,273,000,000. The resources of nat ional banks in the South rose from $7(Ki.- 000.000 in U.Hrt) to $4.68.3.000.000 in 1922. The total value of the cotton crops for the ln~t 10 years wa< $12.t>75.004JX10. or £7.440.000,000 in excess of the total val ue of the go Id and silver produced iu the world in the same period. All the gold produced in t tlie world since the discov ery of America up to and including 1021 aggregated '■'51N.430.000.00. Curing the 11 years from 1000 to llt2l the aggregate value of the South's cotton crop amount ed to $21,175,000,000. or $2,745,000,000 more than the aggregate value of all the .'old du odii. ed in the world since 1402. .

CORN BREAD. | A theoretical cook, one who % makes a i living by giving advice rather than by •producing the goods, published a formu ! la for a new kind of corn bread, and the i formula justly aroused the wrath of some |of the most prominent writers in the i South. Two of them were quick to take 1 issue with the formula, one being Col. Geo. Bailey, leading man on the editorial page of The Houston Post. ( 01. Bailey wrote with some heat: “About that corn i bread recipe which includes three-quar -1 ters of a cup of sugar. Tell them not lto do it. Sugar iu corn breoif is an I abomination. It ought to he made a i crime. It violates every tradition of the South. It insults the palate: it mocks the culinary art. When the Lofd made corn He put in all the sugar He intended it to have.** , Colonel Henry Wattersou. then in re tirement near Louisville, saw this attack by Bailey, upon the newest vice: and. though more than eighty years of age, the intrepid Colonel rushed to the -lde of the Texas colonel to strengthen his arm in the attack. In a letter to the Courier-Journal, the Kentucky Colonel, after quoting the Texas colonel, said : -Corn bread with sugar iu it was jin invention born to the Devil, planted in New England and sent South by our en emies. It is threatening the life <>f real corn bread right in the* laud of its birth. It has done, and is doing, worse. It makes men trifling and women frivo lous. It is responsible for most of the murders, suicides and divorces. li is the mother of Bolshevism and the (lady of anarchy. Tt weakens the brain, in furiates the liver and grows people pot bellied. It brings corns and baldness and saffronizes the complexion. It makes the nose shiny and the skin pimply. -It drives husbands down town of nights. It causes the servants to be in solent and obstreperous. It creates an appetite for moonshine. -It is the underlying cause of Pyor rhea. It emboldens a man to refuse his wife's request for money. But for sugar in corn bread, there would be no v.ar. no flies, no mosquitoes, no roaches, no I. W. W.. and no Republican party. “Let the twentieth amendment to the Constitution forever prohibit sugar in corn bread and let s have the vote right away. -This -would seem ah embracing and is sufficiently conclusive. New England may know how to bake beans. They say the cider in Maine is a good substitute for whiskey: It must be admitted that in Boston 'Pumpkin Pic' is no shjuch. But corn bread: I-a 1* that requires all that George Bailey has said, and a pair of old black hands to boot— and a red bandanna handkerchief —and an old Mammy's voice, rich, mellow and devo tional : “How firm a foundation. 5e saints of the Lord." PLAYING TIIE GAME. Senators Reed and Pepper, of Penn sylvania. are unwilling at this time to make atiy predicitions about what they will do when the time comes to choose another candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination. The two Sen ators conferred with President T*oolidge ( several days ago and after the conference J they were approached by newspaper men i who wanted to know just who the two J Senators were );oing to support. In answer to the newspaper men the! Senators issued a joint statement. in j which they asserted they were uncertain now. The question, they contend, is a very grave uud important one. and for , that reason they werde unwilling to make definite statements. But it seems that the Senators did not tel! how they felt even at this time. They were asked whether they would support President Uoolidge or Gov ernor Pinchot. They were not asked about Hiram Johnson. And before they held the conference with the President it was intimated that they were leaning , toward the Californian. Governor Pinchot is playing politics : now for all he s worth. He took a hand in the coal strike and when a settlement was reached he took all the honor and glory for affecting the compromise. He would naturally expect the Senators from his State to support him. The Senators know that, of course, and they also know that it would be unwise to support Hi ram now. and equally unwise to come out and openly oppose the ITesU dent. So they are saying nothing. They are playing politics in the strictest sense. WILL NOT APPEAL, TO NEGROES. The action of the Johnstown. Pa., Mayor in ordering certain negroes to leave that. city, is not expected to make that city popular with negroes. In his order directing all negroes who had not been iu the city seven years to leave, the Mayor stated that the city had too manj negroes: that the race question was a se rious one; and that no new negroes would he allowed to enter. Such a situation & not surprising to people of the SouVh who understand the negro. Southern people knew till along that the exodus of negroes to the North would bring serious results, for the ne gro doe- not understand northern peo ple. and he is not understood there. In a city in the West several days ago hundreds of negroes left after one of iheir race had received a warning to move on. The warning advised the ne groes that they were not wanted, that the fity in which they had stopped had no use or need for them, and that evei>- oue would be better off after some of the negroes had left. The negroes took the warning, i and hundreds left. , The Johnstown case has aroused great public interest. Tlie National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored Peo ' pie took a hand in matter and ap pealed to Governor Pinchot, who asked the Ma yor for an explanation. The May or. however, stuck to his guns and re iterated His warning after receiving the ‘‘communication from Governor Pinchot. Governor Pinchot is “politicing” now. so of bourse, he was only too glad to act. He saw a chance to get in favor with many negroes in his State, and as the negro \\>te in Pennsylvania is an import ant one. he was quick to seize this opi>or tuiiity to please the colored people. [ Incidents such as occurred in Johns town and the western city referred to will have much influence on the negroes of the Smith. They should prove to the ne gro that the South is the place for him. THE “WISCONSIN IDEA” At a recent meeting of State Treasur ers and Auditors, held at Asheville, the Treasurer of Wisconsin explained wliat is meant by the “Wisconsin idea” as ap plied to his method of dealing with State funds. 1 Out of a total of 1.000 banks in the State he has appointed <>3o as deposit 'cries, and these depositories have the use of State funds in making loans to | i farmers. The city banks are the first to be called ujH»n when the State treas-j ury withdraws its deposits, the prefer- , once being given the county banks being provided by law. The Wisconsin State Treasurer criti cises the previous policy of buying bonds or investing State funds outside of tin* State. “Sending money out of the State in times like these." he says, “is like feeding all your pure fresh Holstein milk to your pigs and buying skimmed milk for your babies.” 1. S. COTTON STANDARDS ACCEPTED BY EUROPE CoGoii Associations Abroad Sign Agree ment With Agriculture Department. ■Washington, Sept. 18.—Successful completion of the negotiations for uni- ( versal standards for American cotton f was announced today by Secretary M al- 1 lace, with tin* signing of agreements I with six foreign cotton associations.

After several conferences, the agreement to adopt American stand- t aids as universal standards, with a few ■ minor changes, was reached. Mr. Ten ny went to Europe in July to complete the detailed arrangements and secure | the signatures of the European cotton associations. With reference to the successful ter mination of this important international trade arrangement. Secretary Wallace stated that “Dr. H. U. Taylor, chief of tlie bureau of agricultural economics. Mr. Tenny and their associates have handled this matter in away altogether com- ! inendable.” “It was a delicate situation requiring t diplomacy of a high order.” Mr. Wallace i *aid.' “and it might have developed into j a very unhappy state of affairs. The matter lias been concluded in away that seems to be most satisfactory both to our own cotton people and to our for eign customers. The standing of Amer can cotton grades lias been firmly estab lished and our business regulations over seas have been much strengthened. I am greatly pleased over the whole mat ter.” j 5.253 Tons of Seed Crushed During the Month of August Washington.
