THE CALL OF
THE SOUTH
The North is Overcrowded j
and People are Looking (
to the South—Her Latch ,
String Always Outside s
» - Present Conditions J
Presage the Future
« .
The spirit of the age has chang- t
ed. It is the beginning of the eud t
of an>ra —the end of ail era c»l cvn- j
tralization and coutjestidn of popai- ,
lation Every ecpaomic error fends" '
of itself to correotnr.i fmn tvithrrrr:

■ rather than from without. T.;c v
mad rush for tlie cities has slacken- ,
ed its pace; "the tumult and the (
shouting" grows lower iu the busy (
marts of trade. Thousands upon ,
thousands long to be 'far from the ,
madding ciowd's ignoble strite,"
and pause to reflect if they would ;
not be better off.it they returned to
the land from which thev hastened"
a few }'cars back, hired by the high
promise of the city.
The North is filled to ovetflow
ing. Say what you will, there is
no "last West." The penrlulum
has swung back; the mighty move
ment' hsv began. —Naturally •
question will be asked: "What will ,
be the fairest tield fur the endeavors
of this vast throng in the next de
cade?"
The logical solution of the pro
blem is the South. And though in
other less favored sections thecities
will uot-show as much growth in
the future asf in the past ten years,
we predict that the cities ot the
South will keep pace with her rural
districts and both will enjoy equal
prosperity because there is not to
day ai overcrowded metropolis in
her whole domain, such as you wflM
find in other parts of the country
Like the fabled*sleep;ug beauty
she had slumbered lor many y.ars
and the world knew her not. Hut
today she is ©live and awake to
every change and every activity
• that spells progress.
Her ex&mple is stimulating to the
utmost Present'condi^ions are but
a presage of the things to come.
Her fields are filled with the great
est cotton crops the world has seen
tec. er i au( i 3{ . a pe dotted with innum
erable mills, her skies blackened by j
day and red by night, where steel |
andiron hold thtir sway. High,
Point vits with Grand Rapids in
her wood-working plants, Lynch
burg with Bostsn in the shoe trade, 1
and Birmingham is a worthy sister
of Pittsbnfg. So the thrilling story ■
runs through mining, manufactur
ing, fanning, transportation, trade,
and commerce.
It is'tbe story of a people favored
by climate and a thousand natural
advantages, coming into a fuller
and broader realization of the mag
nificent potentialities of their own
land. way has been hard and
difficult „ But her people aTe
awake. They are pushing to the
front. They welcome the rest of
their common country to come and
share their good fortune with them
And the next few years will wit
ness a growth which will be a rev
. elation to the rest of the world.—

before Robert Mad sen, of West
Burlington, lowa, when after seven
weeks in the hospital, four of the
best physicians gave him up. Then
was shown the marvelous curative
power of Electric Bitters. For,
after eight months of frightful suf
fering from liver trouble and yellow
jautdice, getting no help from
other remedies or doctors, five bot
tles of this medicine
completely cured him. Its posi
