COMPILING SOUTHERN HISTORICAL
MATERIAL. *
The University of North Carolina has undertaken
' an important movement that will mean much for the
South in years to come, should it prove successful.
It is announced that the officials of that institution
propose to establish in connection with the library of
the University a collection of Southern historical ma
terial of all character. The program provides for a
most thorough research to be made of all the South
ern states for material that will enable the compilers
to resurrect and present to the people of this nation
information that will not only he of striking interest,
but of vital importance to this section of the coun
try. A paragraph from the announcement sent out
by the University authorities may he of interest suf
ficient to interest our people in contributing to the
movement such information as they may have in
hand that would aid in the work of properly present
ing the history of the South which has long been
neglected by our own people. The announcement
reads:
"The Southern collection as planned will include,
so far as is possible today, every book or pamphlet of
any kind on any subject written in thei South or by a
Southerner, every one which deals in any way with
the Southern states, their people or their problems. It
will contain state publications cf every sort; general
historical works; mondgraphs, biographies; town,
county and other local histories; genealogical
works; essays; poetry; fiction; sermons: files of peri
odicals; statistics; maps; broadsides; the catalogues
' minutes, proceedings, and reports of educational
-bodies and institutions, fraternal ordors, commercial,
'professional, philanthropic, religious, social, patriotic
1 And-scentific organisations; as complete files of
"Southern newspapers as can be secured, as well as
flies of papers from other sections which carry
^Southern material.
'/‘Nor will it be confined to printed material. It'
will include great masses of manuscript material,
such as diaries, unpublished reminiscences or other
autobiographical writings, letters of every descrip
tion, plantation records and the ledgers and other
-records of industrial and business undertakings. It
.will contain not only the papers and letters of promi-
ponf. individuals and families, hut ail varieties of
available material which reveal the life and thought
iof the masses of the people.
.’v”The purpose and scope of the plan is best indi
cated by saying that it is planned, to gather anything
.and'everything which may in any way throw light
1 upon the past and present of the states of Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee.”
-- While this work has been carried on at that Uni
versity for many years, nothing definite has material
ized, until quite recently when a revival of the move
ment was inaugurated with the determination of
carrying it to a successful conclusion. Continuing
further, the announcement reads:
“Siich a gathering together of material will be
unique,' for nowhere else in the United States has
there-been projected anything of the kind so inclus
ive in content for so large aq area and population,
bound together and differentiated from other sec-
tions.bM certain unifying, economic, social and politi
cal'interests and institutions, yet havng many diversi
ties Among the several states included. There is al
ready: a wide and growing interest in Southern his
tory,' past and present, and this great library will
draw to it investigators! from everywhere. It will en
able 4he investigator to study any phase of Southern
dlfeibi which he is interested. In economic, social,
religious, scientific, and political fields will be gath-
•ered a mass of hitherto unknown facts, making pos-
aible new and more accurate conclusions in relation
to the past. In this period in Which the South is so
rapidly shifting its emphasis from agriculture to in
dustry, and is attracting to itself an increasing
amount of the nation's capital, it is of supreme im
portance for it to remember the past and to study it
'and save the records of today, In order that the South
in the immediate future may wisely chart its course,"
■ There is no doubt but that in the homes of many
citizens of Athens material of this kind that would
be helpful to the compilers and at the same time en
able the owners to secure permanent preservation
of.these valuable historical facts which arc now up-
known to so many.
' 'The movement should be received in.a co-opera
tive spirit on the part of all southemera and their
Aid extended in the fullest. It is of the greatest im
portance that Southern history be preserved; the old
South is being forgotten by the later generations, due
In a great measure to the lack of knowledge for the
reason that such information has never been prepar
ed properly for dissemination.
Keeping the records of the gubernatorial candi-
dates straight, we are reminded that- Candidate
Rivers led the fight in the senate to block all con
structive legislation desired by the people of Geor- -
gia Aided and abetted by other obstructionists, he
succeeded in defeating the will of the npdple and
now he has the audacity to ask the people of tJeor-
fia to vote for him for governor.
This is an unusnak'year In political circle and every
- indication points to a landslide for Democracy.
The smash-up of two auto*
mobiles, occurring on the
Athens-Mcnroe road Wednes-
day afternoon, coat one life and
injuries sustained fry half a
dozen children.
It is true that at the point
where the accident occurried the
view of drivers is more or less
obstructed by woods, ami such
accidents are liable to occur un
less special precautions are prac
ticed. However, autoists are en
tirely too reckless in driving.
There is not a day that masses
but serious accidents are narrow -
ly averted at the corner of Col
lege avenue and Clayton strett.
Unless automatic electric stop. v
signs are installed or policemen* *

J was appointed by Governor
Hardman to the Public S?rvice
Commission to fill the unexpired
term of the late 0. # R.‘ Bennett. I
have given my best*thought to the
work of th? Commission and am
asking the people to nominate me
for the remainder of the term at
the 9eptemb:r primary.
I have some opposition from a
man who has made four races for
place on the Commission. He
is beaten decisively in 1912,
918, 1929 and 1922; the last time
curry his
the unprotection I
Traffic in this city has
grown beyond control of th"
present police force. That is
for the number of men availa
ble for such purposes.
With traffic unprotected or
regulated, accidents are hound to
occur. Tlie casualties may not
be serious, hut suppose a life is
given a* a toil for the failure* of
the officials to provide protection.
It will be too late to recall the-
accident or to restore the life.
Now is the time to act. A day
or even an hour delay may cost
rioua injuries and deaths. Why
not act now?
Electric slop r.igns can be
installed at n nominal cost.
The value of such traffic con
trol in inestimable to the pub
lic, especially to pedestrians.
Autoists, os n rule, are careful
in their driving, but one reckless
driver can cause serious accidents
and the loss of life. Traffic reg
ulations con not be too drastic for
congested ’sections. The thought
less ami the don’t rare autoists
should be curbed by strict en
forcement of the ordinances anil
the imposing of severe penalties
by the courts. Light fines do not
step reckless drivers — not onlv
heavy fines, but a sentence to th»
workhouse should be imposed in
dealing with such cases.
As this I* election year and
the characteristics of some cf
the candidates being out of the
ordinary, we are reminded of
an item appearing in an Ore- '
gon newspaper from one of
the candidates in that state,
as follows:
“I would announce to the voter:!
of Hood River j»mJ Wasco coun
ties that oit account of being in
near future practically offered a
college degree, I hereby postpone .
my candidacy for nomination of,
State Senator.
“I am to have n lecture on
Abraham Lincoln when I grad
uate from the college in Taconui
and I expect to conio before tin*
people with all the power of my
personality and magnetism at
next senatorial election.
“After making n deep study ofj
the life of Abruham Lincoln in
college I fe:l a compelling duty
to offer my services to the peo
ple as State Senator.”
