nnCBLUHBK'S THOUGHTS Dear Mr. Editor: I read with interest Roy. J. A Beam's school facta in a rocent issue of iwr paper. Be ( j? us impor tant informatiim we should - ha v.' known before now. He shown very plainly that oar present school- bjsi { ucss or system is a very one vide j unequal affair. Thaac vfho need it ? kte not setting what is justly .do* them, while those who do not nc-d u are (retting .far above what is justly due them. I hope this will re ceive more than passing notice and our people give thia evil due consid eration. It can and wilt be rectified if the people demand it. I believe - it woukl be a g*9d idea to call the attention of our next candidates for the legislature to thia ffre^t evil, and .. get them to pledge themselves to do nil in their power to make our pub lic school business nearer what it chould be. 1 was pleased with your editorial of April the 9th issue. You told the whole truth, giving we farmers si.me good advice, which I hope we will hear and heed, especially what you told uk aboot planting less Mr K-ceo. Use your own judgment, our Editor says, w^iich we often fail to .do in planting a tobne:o crop. How long, oh, how long, will it take j^Fome farmers to learn, there is no honor, pay or profit in overcropping ourselves with tobacco, and as Bro. ? N'oell says, if we can give it the cultivation and other attention- it needs, then it often gets ripe nearly nil at once and for lack of help and burn room we lose from 20 to 60 per cent of it. Hat Is a time to be! dreaded on the , farm. Then nearly every one, old and youngs male and female, must go to the tobacco barn ;m<T field, where it is hurry .hurry, come on, go on, work, work, some times day and night. Other impor tant- tilings are neglected, denying ? ' ourselves of .needed sleep and. rest, iriving a part of our pease, life and health for the money expected from the tobacco crop. Where is tKe judg ment in this ? .Even if we should ?get rich ? raising tobacco, health is far better than wealth. t*hen the stuff is to be worked at most all the time, often before we get done > filing we have to commence on an other crop, and yet sojrie people seem to think it is the most impor tant crop. It is one of the many idols in the temple of mammon which nfany of our people ore bow ~ Tng down to. I am told by people who knew that "sections of our coun try whe^p neither cotton or toba c;o is. raised the people are getting cihmg financially as well. Or better than in cotton and tobacco sections. Or. Kilgore, another man com petent of advising, warns us con cerning over crop of cotton and to bacco, and I think it would be wise for us to heed what he says. ? : ?

Most < very business calUntr and profess ion is organised. and $ome of them against the farmer. They need to j stand together for their own pro-; lection ' an 1 defense," and yet itt seems almose impossible to perman-! tly and successfully organize them. And - wh* ? ^PartJy^Jjecause of the 'lack of interest and loyalty, and, mostly because of opposition, so many people, s?me of them rich, are painfully afraid the farmers will stand ? and pull together, for they know the farmers would be more independent and they could not then ride and .drive them an they like.

Y. The item below is copied from the Ithaca Journal News: - . "The characterization of * Little Lord Fountleroy, youthful hero of Frances Hodgson Burnet Le's famous story, in monologue arrangement as! given by Miss Frances Williams,1 senior pupil of Dr. Edward Amherst Ott, was a most excellent piece of work. - ? I ? 'This monologue presented^wfany difficulties in its ten characters but| Miss Williams was equal to the task. She made each character distinct and individual, changing from one to the other Avith quickness and ease, poise and grace. Miss, Williams possesses a charming stage presence, a good .voice and is unusually well poised. "She has made a number of credit able appearances in Ithaca since coming here from the south .twoj years ago and we bespeak for her a brilliant career in her chosen pro fession, Chautauqua and Lyceum art." ' ? ' ? Miss Williams is remembered here as the daughter ef Mrs. Ethel Ipnes Williams and granddaughter _of Rev. and Mrs. F. II. Jones. After having studied at Oxford C6llege she won three scholarships at - the .School of Dramatic Art in Ithaca1 from which She is graduating with honor and distinction, and. has al ready been offered a position on thei < 'hautauqua- ptetform. ?J ? o ??
