Editor's Note The 'New South' has a new magazine. 
Discourse
Tell us what you think and read what others have said about our first issue.  The New South Rises, Again By Glynn Wilson In our inaugural issue, we explore what it means to say the New South rises again. Not the old South, where politicians thumped the Bible and baited the races. This is the New South, where more progressive politicians sometimes get elected who have the vision to govern in a different fashion. (Turn to story) 
The 'Perfesser' SpeaksBy Don Schanche Jr. Former Georgia Gov. Zell Miller makes sense of where the South has been, where it is, and where it could be going in terms of education, business and race relations. (Turn to story)
Yellin' RangeFiction by Sean Lovelace In our first short story, Lovelace takes us back to the woods at Grandma's. We hope you will send us your short stories for publication and enter our short story writing competition with cash prizes. The winners will be published in future issues. (Turn to story)

Staff Note: We hate to spoil the fun of discovery, but we should tell you the best ways to negotiate this magazine online. You can turn . . . er, click on a story link, then come back to the contents page and do it again. Or take the The Southerner tour by clicking on the TS at the end of each story. Scan through it as if you were turning the pages of a printed magazine. It's the easiest way to read it cover to cover! You can even print it and avoid reading online if you wish. Don't forget to let us know what you think. 
The Southerner is a high-quality, general-interest magazine that exists only in Cyberspace. No trees involved. Thanks for supporting a free press in the American South. Designed by G2 Designs and WilSit Web Weavers.
