in important subject, yet one which has
.voeived far too iittie aiurniiju from our
educated people. We need a literature not
so much distinctly Southern, for it will
neuoesarily be that to some extent, a*
one characterized by depth and breadth of

and at times eloquent, in advocating the
claims of each a literature. I am only
sorry that he took occasAn to tr.nke n few

ways deprocato such utterances. They
wore never in good taste, and the time is
passed when they can please, except a
very few. It is wiser to mark our
own faults, whilo we emulate their
virtues. In the fields of litorature, at least,
Wu must confess they have ranch out-
