- THE TRIUMPHANT SOUTH.
Ib no land in all the earth Is the
love of country stronger or more
dominant than In that portion o* this
republic commonly known as the
Sooth.:
That love was revealed to the world
not only by the heroic defense made
for four years against what the peo-
ple of the South believed to be a tree-
pBM upon their rlghta, but haa been
If poulble more splendidly exempli-
fied by their devotion, fortitude and
fidelity during the-tiearly four decades
ejpee the close of that"great struggle
The fortitude, energy and unfalter-
ing* devotion of the people of the
South to their sorely stricken land has
brought forth resultB so remarkable
as to challenge the "admiration of the
world.
The political, commercial and indus-
trial condition of the Bouth at
the close of- the war bet ween the
states was calculated to create
despair in the minds of any but a
brave, intelligent, self-reliant and pa-
triotic people.
Her fields were laid waste, her ln-
duatries prostrated, her homes de-
stroyed, the treasury of every state
bankrupted and labor demoralised,
grhile gaunt, biting, bitter poverty
kept watch at millions of hearts tones.

And then come back and knock some more

control of ¿he government of Southern
states reached their folonluoue fingers
lijto the pockets of posterity and
robbed generations yet unborn.
To recover from such afflictions and
produce solvency, peace, order __ and
good government and re-establish
prosperous industrial, commercial and
social conditions appeared well nlgb
if not altogether Impossible; yet this
end the South has aohieved.
How Bhe did it and what steps were
taken it is not the purpose here to dis-
cuss. The facts speak fcr themselves.
The once despised, trampled upon, op-
pressed and plunderd South is herself
again, and the eyes of an admiring
world are upon her.
The smoke of countless
furnaces
and factories rise where but a little
while ago the air was heavy with the
smoke rising from burning homes and
conditions was the sudden Investiture

The stone which the buildeni re-

She has been essentially the land of

their land when the war cloud
burnt In'fury upon her, their land in
the hour of bloody trial and in the
