r Thursday, January 16, 1913.] THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Page Three men who create 90 per cent of the wealth of the nation to enjoy more of that wealth. We must improve the condition of the average tiller of the soil. We know that the majority of them have been laboring year in and year out with very little encouragement and less success. His condition is pretty well illustrated by the experience of an old negn'o wh odied and went to heaven. When he knocked at the gate a voice from within asked: “Are you riding.” “No,” answered Uncle Jake; “I’se jis a trabeling in de good or nachul way; I'se a-walkin’. “Well, you can’t come in unless you are riding,” answered the voice from the other side of the gate. Uncle Jake turned away sadly and went slowly back down the road. At a short distance he met Mr. John Smith, a well-dressed man who had been known in the world as “a busi ness man.” ness man.” He had been a time merchant and sold feed-stuffs, gro ceries, dry goods, and clothing. He was a director in the bank, an of ficer in the first church and a ward politician. “Hello, Uncle Jake; why are you coming back.” “Marse John, dey won’t let nobody in up dar what haint a-ridin’.” “Is that so? Well, let me think a little. “I’ll tell you what we will do. You get down on your all-fours and I’ll ride you up to the gate and tell them that I am a- riding and when the gate is opened I’ll just ride you on inside and then we’ll both be there.” “Marse John, dat shore is head work. I’se neber would have fought of dat.” So up they went towards the beautiful city, the well-dressed bu^- ness man riding the poor laborer. It was a heavy burden to Uncle Jake, but the pearly gate was finally reach ed. In answer to their knock came the question from within: “Are you riding?” “Yes, sir,” answered Mr. Smith. “Then turn your mule out to graze and come to the side door and I will let you in.” Alas! for Uncle Jake. The farmer has been carrying the burden about long enough. It is time for a change. We must all ride to gether or all walk together. Again, I thank these brethren for tlielr very cordial welcome and as sure them that we will appreciate It all the more If they will ride with us Sixth prize, $5.00, given by State Department of Agriculture.
