A SOLUTION OF
SOUTH’S PROBLEM
GREATER VIENNA
NOW IN BOOK FORM.
It Lies In the education ol her Boys
Along Industrial Lines Instead
of the Classics.
Isa Very Neat Book Containing Some
Valuable information.
Boys Should be educated with a
: view to mastery of the problems
which confront them, and the
Southern boys are up against the
problem of making a living. No
getting around that fact, and there
is no disputing the fact that the
Srath is up against the problem
I of manufacturing her raw pro.
ducts. Her best hope lies ir. the
solution of this problem. We be
lieve this, world without end, and
tjje slogan at “ Dixie’s ” masthead
makes bold declaration of belief.
“ When the South manufactures
all her mineral and agricultural
products, she will bo the commer
cial center of civilization.”
• The men most likely to succeed
in the South, all things being
equal, is the southern man, and
this would be true in relation to
any section of the country. The
[ southern man has no inoTe brains
than his brothers of the north and
JB west, but his knowledge of local
fleonditipus, home necessities and
home possibilities gives him a
distinct advantage in the struggle
I for success, and it is an advantage
I that is ours by right, but we are
| making very poor use of it. How
f can we make better use of it ?
That is the question, and the an-
Sswor is plain—“ Train up a child
in the way' he should go, nnd when
he is old he will not depart from
it.” We need technical experts,
We have the stuff to make them
.of} very well, then lot us make
lem* ' This can be done by tuni
ng some of the millions now
ring spent on Greek and brond-
iloth into machine tools und over-
ills. Surely, it ciinnot be said
that. there is no inoney for this
important work.
Within the month wo have wit-
essed the success of a movement
bo gaise a raillion-dollar fund to
found a sectarian university in
one of the Southern States. Peo
ple of all religions nnd in all
walks of life contributed to the
fund; yet there is no lack of col-
legef in the South. No boy
looks, likely to lack, academic
mining for wont of a place to go.
Universities everywhere aro beg
ging for students, while our two
or toree technical institutions
nust beg for funds, and beg in
win too frequently.—Dixie Maga-
ine.
Rev. J. D. Norris returned home
Saturday night from Atlanta,
where ho has Ween for sm/eral days

HARMONY
Last Friday afternoon witnessed
one of the *• warmest ” games of
ball that, lias ever been pulled off
on the Vienna diamond. Tifton
mid Vienna crossed hats for all
they were worth. It was a battle
royal all .the way through, and at
times tin' work put up by both
teams wps simply magnificent.
The Tifton team came to Vienna
with the full expectation of carry
ing home a victory. Vienna was
equally determined to have the
victory fur herself, and, ns both
teams were about equally matched,
the result was u magnificent spec
tacle of bull playing.
The game was a peculiar one in
sonic respects. In the first inning
Vienna made three runs—all she
made during the entire game. The
Tifton team failed to score until
the seventh inning, making one in
that inning and one in the ninth.
The work done by the battery
of both teams was splendid. Es
pecially so was that of Maynard,
for Vienna, in the sixth inning,
when he threw nine balls and
struck out three inch in quick suc
cession.
After the first inning, there \yns
“ nothing doing ” for Vienna ill
the. score-making business, und
she held Tifton down to the same
thing until the seventh, when the
vistors succeeded iif making one
measley score and in the ninth
unotner, making the score 8 to 2
in favor of Vienna.
Tho_ nue was a clear, fair,
square <1 fTe'Tn every respect, and
there was no room for “ kicking ”
from cither sido'. -Umpire J.ussu-

The union Sunday School pie-
rtic was held at the park on Inst
Friday, and a most enjoyable day
was enjoyed by all.
Vienna turned out in full force
and the picnic, holiday spirit per
vaded all. The park grounds
wero fairly lyaded down with good
things to eat and the picnic din
ner and bnrbicuo was a splendid.
The day was an ideal one for
such an occasion, and the sun
smiled down brightly on the heads
of the little 'children ns they
romped and gambolled hero nnd
beneath the beautiful green trees
and enjoyed themselves to the
heart’s desire,
The business houses closed and
all turned out to enjoy the duy. 1
No better place could lie found
to hold a picnic than the park
proved to he, and it will bo
popular place from now on for all
such occusions.
In the aftornoon the crowd
paired to the ball park, and the
day’s pleasure was brought to a
close by the ball game between
Tifton und Vienna.
The day proved a most pleasant
and enjoyable occasion t.o all and
nothing happened to mar its
pleasure.
Last Friday will be long re.
membered by all.
