For d quarter of a century it has been the conspicuous and consistent champion of Southern sentiment and Southern interests. The career of the MorrnV News has been one of singular pro£ peritv. It made a place for itself from the start rnd has kept it, while all its cotemporaries of that day, and all save one of its later rivals, have perished by the wayside, and to-da* it stands firmly established in popular favor,-with little or no competition within the area of its circulation. In its editorial conduct the Mommy News will constantly pnrsue the poli cy which has characterized it fromthe start. Questions of national or sec tional interest will be canuidly anf impartially discussed, while even-s',ii>. ject of a political complexion will to treated with an eye single to the we!- fare, the peogress and substantial de- velopment of the material resources of the South.
