What War Means. Do the Southern jingoes under stand what war with Spain or any other foreign power means? Do they realize the effect that war would have upon tins section of the coun try? It means two cent cotton and two dollar wheat. I t means that farmers in the South would get less than half of what they are getting for their products, wliil v meat and breadstuff's, which most of them have to buy, would bring-double prices. It means paralysis for the South especially the producing classes. Besides this, in a war with Spain, the South, on account of its proxim ity to Cuba, would have to bear the brunt of the war. Her cities and ports would be the centres of attack from the opposing forces. Such a conflict might not hurt the West, because the demand for meat and bread would be increased. In that case, she would be benefited. It our Southern statesmen would on ly study the interests of the South as they do the interests of the West things in this quarter might show material improvement. —Valdosta Times.
