A Salute To The “New South"
And Its Prophet Henry Grady
By Gus Bernd, Historical
ant, Office of Secretary of State i
On December 21, 1886, before;
a distinguished northern audience;
in New York City, the late Henry ,
W. Grady made his memorable
“New South” address. Grady
introduced to the Nation on that
occasion a term “New South” |
that has since grown in
meaning and is now applicable j
to the new and progressing atti- re-! j
tude and condition of a great
gion of America. In December j
1889, Henry Grady died of pneu
moma after an extensive speak- J

which carried him to Boston. As
so logically stated by a great
Southern contemporary of his,
Grady, the editor, orator and
statesman without office, died
“literally loving a nation into
peace.” Grady’s work for recon
ciliation between the sections of
our common country had made a
lasting impression. Upon his
death, the newspapers cartooned
the death of the great man in the
midst of his unfinished work; but
it is now being finished.
Building for “a South of Union
and Freedom” upon foundations
Ben Hill, Joe Brown, and other
THE CAIRO MESSENGER. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1949
enlightened elder statesmen
raised amidst the ruins of the
War Between the States, Grady
led Georgia and the South to
heights that few of the statesmen
of “The Lost Cause” envisioned
in their brightest moments. When
Henry W. Grady’s spirit passed )
on, the seeds for the “New South’
attitude had been well planted in
fertile soil among the best peo¬ ’
ple on the earth. The “attitude
broadened and spread through
the years; but the “condition” of
a “New South” has been slow to
come. Henry W. Grady did not
see “the New South” that he pro¬
phesied and helped to create.
With the arrival of the Roose¬
velt years of the 1930s when the
“forgotten man” was finally re¬
membered, the struggling “New
South” with federal aid moved
forward rapidly. The Squire of
Hyde Park and Warm Springs
along with numerous enlighten- !
ed Southerners spurred the March
of Progress. Barefoot and under¬
privileged children were clothed,
fed and educated. Unlighted
and wasted lands saw a new day.
TV A came; and REA and WPA.
Georgia and Southern industries
multiplied and prospered. Out
of depression and stagnation came
salvation. The “condition” we
know today as “the New South”
was a reality. The embryo left
by 'Grady had finally come of
age.
The New South attitude and
conditoin continue to spread and
grow throughout Dixie wherever
intelligence and enlightenment
reign. A real beginning has been
made in achieving the full hopes
and aspirations of a great peo¬
ple. The blight of poverty and
ignorance, though not peculiar to
the South and present in all sec¬
tions of America, is rapidly van¬
ishing. Many of the South’s war
industries have remained and ad¬
ditional industrial and commer¬
cial developments have come. The
Southern economy is more sound
now than at any time in history.
The schools and colleges are
crowded and are steadily expand¬
ing and improving. The South’s
message to the North is becoming
clearer and louder. Southern and
Georgia statesmen are again re¬
spected in national political cir¬
cles and* play important parts
therein. Georgia and Southern
newspaper editors and
have set a high standard; and
many have outstanding reputa¬
tions nationally. Tolerance and
understanding in regard to the
ever-present racial problem is no
longer a luxury. Organizations
which stir up trouble and
to take the law into their
hands are receiving less and
cooperation and audience
our people. The roads are
better. The streams and
run clearer than a decade ago.
Water-power and
projects are extensive and suc¬
cessful; and conservation of
ural resources is being more
gularly practiced.
farming is almost universal. Lab¬
or is making steady gains; and
labor-management relations are
at a high level. Many of the
problems of health are being con¬
quered. The horizons are bright.
More and more often, all-white
juries are rendering equal jus¬
tice to members of the two races.
The privilege of the ballot has
been greatly extended. In this,
Georgia has taken the lead in the
South in recent years. Univer¬
sal suffrage has been almost
achieved in Georgia. Though
there are those who would halt
progress, their power grows con¬
tinually weaker regardless of
what group or persons are in of¬
fice.
These are a few of the things
about the modern “condition”
known as “the New South.” It
is a condition and a reality, not
just a promise, and it improves
day by day. In December, 1949,
as we pass the 60th year date of
the death of the great Grady and
look forward to celebrating next
May the 100th Anniversay of
his birth, his fame seems eternal.
Grady is almost universally pro¬
claimed now as the “prophet of
the New South.” Life Magazine
recently added its voice to the
chorus. Students of The Univer¬
sity of Georgia, the UDC, the
Office of Secretary of State here,
numerous societies, and others,
are fittingly paying their respects
to the memory of Henry W.
Grady.
1950 will be the logical time
for the U. S. Post Office Depart¬
ment to issue a commemorative
postage stamp bearing a portrait
of Henry W. Grady on a man of
the South. Such a stamp would
be an honory to Grady in a sense.
But in a broader sense, it would
be due recognition of the progress
being daily made in the South
by Southerners through their own
initiative and individual price. It
would be a signal honor to 13
great states of the Union—the
South of 1950—a New South of
Union and Freedom.
The movement for a Henry W.
Grady stamp was publicly initia¬
ted by the Office of Secretary of
State. The Political Science Club
at the University of Georgia has |
sponsored a stamp design con-j j
test. Representative Paul Brown,
of Elberton, has announced he
will seek authorization for such
a stamp in Congress.
