Article "Dr. F.P. Gaines, Alumnus, Writes Book on Planter; Local Professor Publishes Treatise on Plantation Life in South"

The article explains the 1924 release of "The Southern Planter," written by Richmond College alumnus, Dr. Francis P. Gaines. The purpose of the book is to "outline the popular conception of the old plantation," as well as to trace the development of when the plantation was created, and where it actually exists. The writer of the article sees the book as valuable to Southerners and students in general to keep them "well informed" about plantation fiction, songs, and plays.
