It will be a Southern Magazine : South is a part—a very large and riefi- its motives and its politics will is purposed to issue a magazine ly representative of the best thought of the whole of ail that is really great in English literature, but vthjng to do with the provinciality so prevalent in iality that stands for ignorance and blind prejudice, of ideas.

On the other hand, at the North neighbor- For all practical purposes, the monthly Magazine which is to the undersigned might well be called the Optimist; for it wili preac sonable toleration in all matters where opinions and beliefs are like by reason of its environment, as well as by reason of the fact that nite part—of this great Republic of ours: but all its purposes and intentions be broader than any section and higher than partisan ship of any sort. It that will be broadly and patriotically American, and genuin country. The note of provinciality is one of the chief cha mr. those who will be in charge of this magazine will have no the North, the East, the South and the West—the provinc that represents narrow views and an unhappy congestion • portant in some respects than most of the knowledge •■'■w m the North and East with respect to the South, and to remove. The new generation in the South has been with the result that a high eppreciaticr: of all that is and wider than ever before and is con .cantly growing in knowledge o! -.he S.g.r is confined almost entirely to *.,W/oe vV».o .'iuJ* commercial crp’o nt : on5 r this section, and who have touched Southern life at no really significant or important point. It shall be the purpose of the Magazine to obliterate ignorance of this kind. It will deal with the high ideals toward which the best and ripest Southern thought is directed: It will endeavor to encourage the culti v at ion of the rich field of poetry and romance which, in the Southern states, offers a constant invitation to those who aspire to deal in fictive literature. Itself standing for the highest and best in life and literature, the iV’agazine will endeavor to nourish the hopes and beliefs that ripen under the influence of time, and that are constantly bearing fruit amongst the children of men. I- will endeavor to represent all that is good and true, all that is sane and sensible, and all that is reasonable and just. In all things it will be conservative, but its conservatism will represent energy instead of inertia, move ment instead of rest. Its pages will be at all times open to new ideas and fresh thoughts, and it will be friendiy to the hopes and aspirations of new writers who are earnest and sincere, and who have something to say Literature will be dealt with in a large way. Such criticism as it will give place to wili represent standards in literature rather than individual opinions. In the matter of fiction, everything that has merit v A,1 U be welcome—the serial that lays its hand on life, the short story that deals with life's aspects and episodes, the crisp essay—in short, everything that is worth while. In matters polemical, controversy will not be permitted to take the place of discussion, ncr will dis cussion be allowed to cast the shadow of tediousness ever a publication which its conductors hope to make as meritorious and as popular as the most successful of contemporary periodicals. The Magazine is not intended, primarily, to inspire the South to take a larger and a more serious interest In literautre. or to stir its literary impulses by offering a near-by market where writers may receive the en couragement of compensation. That is to say. the Magazine will not merely fill the Southern field, but it will lave behind it a sufficent amount of capital to secure the best writers cf the country at large. By securing the contributions of the best, so far as they can be secured, the Magazine will provide an ideal standard of literary production in the South. \ Fiction is one of the main features of the Magazine, and yet no part of our industrial life and history is to be neglected. The needs of the South, its progress and development, the essentials of its growth, all are to play a large part in the programme that has been laid down. And so, likewise, of the whole republic. Events that are of timely and satisfying interest will be presented graphically in paragraph and picture. Moreover, as much care will be given to the editing of its advertising pages as to the rest of the Magazine, so that from beginning to end it may enter the homes of its friends clean, sweet and wholesome. In all that has been said, only a hasty and crude outline can he given of the purpose of the Magazine, which will become a living organism only when its presses are set in motion, but the public may rest assured that in ail matters where the peace, progress and prosperity of the republic are concerned, it will be found to have a lively and restless interest. In discussing and commenting on men and measures, or political propositions and policies, or matters affecting the soc'al and economic welfare of the people, the Magazine will hold itself high above partisan poli tics and prejudices, and will refuse to mistake opinions 1cr principles or to be blinded by the prolific and offen sive suggestions of sectionalism. It shall be its purpose so faithfully to represent right and justice that every man in the land, from the humblest to the highest, will stand on a plane of perfect equality in its pages.
