1 Wbit Grit and (iet-l'p Will ! l-'or a Hoy. Progressive Farmer. No, my sin, it isn'c so much a question of motley. Vou are wrong there. The money will couie some how if you don't miul work. Lack of money doesn't keep boys out of school any moie; it doesn't keep them out of the public school, 'or the tech nical schools, or ngricultural schools, or John Hopkins, or Heidelberg. Let ine talk to you a little about this. Have vou fed old Charlie? Part Got the ed the cows and t -;e cahe iicdling and thestoveivuod ready? SOOn Start, VOU know iu the moruillg, ! must sweep clear through that cotton ! in thp V.ier miillwrrir KM.l tomor.-ow ' m tne D'g mulberry tlelU tomoiiow., And vour Sunday clo . oh, took thim oft, vou saw before soing to the barn. And, mamma, you are through with your supper things; here take your rocking chair. Old Danger? There he is curled up ou the cool sand out there by the. elm tree. Here, let me hold the baby to night. She'd daddy's own chunr Glick! Chooky c hooky chooky! As I was going say, my son, it is rot a question of money. If that was so, all the poor people would be cut off from a chauce to go to school. And you see that's not the case. Wf've always had a tolerable good public school right here at Cool Sprinrand now they're talking about one of those high schools at Maple Grove to take the neighborhood schol ars still further along in their books All the childreu can go that want to go. And the same way higher up. The folks who furnish "the education are the ones who wrestle with the money question, and so far from fix ing it so as to cut off the poor from an education it is their main study how to put it in reach of the poor toys and girls who waut it bad enough to do their part to get,it. Anybody can get au education that wants it. Oh,if you haven't got money, of course you'll have to work some to s;et an education. That'? the beau ty of it. Vour father rather believes, my son, that work is a good thiDg. There's discipline in it. It always keeps you busy, aud that keeps you out of a lot of trouble. If you are working for a thing it's a pretty good sign you want it and will value and use it properly wheu you get it. The education you have to work for is the best kind. I have two boys in mind now. Both came from the ume county rt-ent to school, in fact, jl the same town; yes, same school. Both had fair schooliug as schools went iu those days. Boy number one was sent to school by kind par ents. Boy number two weut to school himself, somehow. Ue had kind parents, too, but they were, paor I reckon. Anyhow I know their boy went to school, wasn't sent. He fed horses, chopped stovewood, and lighted the town lamps to get money. I remember well hearing how that when he applied for one of these ;obs the man said: "Why Will, that's a niggers job. And the man said that he never felt such a rebuke iu his life as he got from Will. Will looked hurt at .first for just a fleeting moment and rthen looking grand and stiong he he said, 'I can do anything a nigger can!" be didn't say any more words, so the man told uie, but his looks seemed to add "and I can do it a sight better?" He got the job and did it better and kept on going to scnoof. Oh. no, he didn't go through college and rise np to he a great orator; not that. 3oy umber one is now doing ser vice in one of the highest and best equipped penitentiaries in the coun try for robbing a bank he was work ing for of $40 000. Boy number two is now a real good citizen in a substantial North Carolina town, right good at helping poor boys who don't mind work, his counsel is much sought after when big undertakings are on hand for his town, he is at the head of three or four big manu facturing concerns; and, relly, I don't know how much money he's worth, but feel safe in saying that lie's a long way this side of the poorhouse money a plenty, well fixed. He got his education; the other boy's ednca ;. :i was given to him. I never did think the work Will did to get an education hurt h':u any or broke up his luck. "And why don't the folks who have been along there and know all these things, let the poor boys know about it?" That's a proper question, my son. I ve thought about it my self. It's a good gospel, and the schoolmen ought to be sending out more missionaries to preach it. There is plenty of education all the way from Cool Springs to Heidelberg for the boy who doesn t mind working for it. Since I come to think of it, theie'a another boy in that same pen itentiary, son. Came from the same county 1 was telling you about, and was sent to prison from Federal court orer here m Raleigh the other day. Very poor boy. But he would work; indnstrious worker; wanted to get along and make money. He ran a moonshine distillery in the back woods Bomewhere. There were sev eral of the boys had no advantages. One or two or the older oues quit the business. This boy expected the court would send him up. He was much deiected, bnt he took comfoit. "IF lliv apnil mo tn Atlnnhi" hp .;,) k;au,t ..I ..ill !,.,, ' v, ........ i a trade ana alter two years i can nave to make money at." This boy lived in what Brother Height C. Moore calls "the far, deep country." 1 hat is his pleasetit Buu yauesque way of saying the bacL woods.

A few days ago, while plowing in his field near Buck horn Falls, Mr. Oscar Stephens witnessed an unusual sight in what proved to be the im mortal shade of a man who had been dead seven vears. Mr. Ste ph-us was turning his team at the end of a row when he saw the ghost, which was standing in the edge of os examples, detracted little from a patch of woods near the field.

This heartrending dispatch comes from London: Returns of deaths from the plague in India show the appalling total of 1, 060, 067 for the six months ending June 30. The monthly total is at present increas ing, however the death roll for June being placed at 69, 0C-1. The total for the first six months of 1907 already surpassed that for the entire 12 months of 1904, when 1, 022, 000 persons died. This total is the highest ever recorded previous to the present year. This is a frightful record, especial ly when it is remembered that it is lessjtnan fifteen years since the plague made its appearance in India. More alarming even than the death record itself is the professed inability of the medical profession to stay the scourge. A M-:W PLITniKM. The Salisbury Post quotes a new issue raised by the Troy Montgom erian as follows: "It is said that dancing makes girls' feet large. It is also said that ice cream makes freckles. Doctors are of the opinion tbut hanging on the front gate produces rheumatism. A few more opinions like these and the girls of Troy won't have any fun left them." Commenting on the above the Post gets off this bit of good humor: "On with the dance, down with the cream and swing the gate as of ten and as long as you please, is a platform that can t be successfully assailed, the r'octors to the contrary notwithstanding. "If a Southern man it must be for president we nominate the esteemed editor of the Troy Montgomerian. Hi3 platform is irresistible." Facing the issne of such moment we make bold to second the nomina tion and then stop, for did we wish to enter protest, what earthly power is able to check a girl when in the feet-enlarging, freckle-making or gate-hanging notion?

A merchant in an Illinois town. who is also the owner- of an apple orchard, sold Ben Davis apples last fall for 60 cents a barrel and was glad to get that price. A few weeks ago he had a few barrels of apples shipped to him from Indianapolis, to supply his retail trade, for which he paid $3 a baiiel and the merchant was somewhat surprised to discover from the stencil marks on the bar rels that the apples were the same that he had sold last fall. Apples were rotting oh the ground a few' months ago iu all the fruit growing states, and now Australia is shipping ajplestothe United States. Ap parently there is ample room for readjustment in the plan cf con ducting the apple business in this country, to make it more profitable to the growers, as well as to the man who undertakes to market the crop.
