' I was pasmlng the empty university last Saturday morning, Minute snow was .lashing through the air before a bitter : wind, but .lt thawed as itv fell, and people went slopping- through the filthy .puddles, In galoshes as Is the faehion here. Trailing In disorder through the dirt and wlnd.mlxed up with thA market neonla and the little open droskles that dash up and down the streets like our hansoms, came a string of soldiers slowly making their way westward. They had Just passed the booths where the butchers and other loyal ists slaughtered the students. They had reached the point where the Cos sacks shot blindly Into the procession that had accompanied the funeral of the student Baumann. There they waited because the cr038 road In front was blocked with traffic and a few paemers-by began to look at them curiously. They were not to be called a column, nor were they organized as an ad vance parly. They were not organiz ed at nil. but a few cavalry came llrst, their hairy little horses throw ing up a steam Into the wind; then then a few Infantry, not more than a batalllon, 1 think, covered with fllth, their uniforms torn and patched, some In low caps matted with mud and anniv Behind followed a rambling ...... ...... ..... tne men Htrclcnea insiae mem vnm dirty bandages round their heads, or arniH, or feet which showed to us what the party really was. They wer were the soldiers returning ar the van of tho great - and ruined army coming home. At tliey had completed tho 5.000 or c.yoo nilles of their journey ttuougn f hp S)h , , , d alve n heart of Their own country. And this Is how they wore received: The municipality had Intended to arrange some sort of festivities at (hP 8tat0n Tn(.v hr, intended to give little nresfnts to tho men-choco- lates and cigarettes. I surmose-and llltle decorations for the officers: "To the defenders of the country." Whether those festivities were ever held arid thos little presents given I v-Himot nay. The government took care that they frtvmld arrive on Sat urday. The presents may possibly have been rushed out In carts to meet them, thouh it would be more like the Russian officials to retain the offer ings of their patriotism for them selves. I!ut so little Interest was taken In the whole thing that the evening papers continued to announce that the army would begin to arrive next day, and as far as I can discover no further notice of any kind was taken of the defenders of the country. So they drifted westward of the dirty streets mini disappeared into ther bar racks. The reservists among them appear to have been dismissed at once. At all even'.s the crowds of beggars who with threats nnd curses violently de mand the milk of human kindness up on the streets have been Increased by many tattered creatures . who limp about In traces of departed uniforms, and as they pass the people say "A soldier frtn the war."

Forsyth, Randolph and Guilford counties were represented, and the great need of such an organi zation was apparent. ; - It was decided! to organize perma nently, and that the organization shall be called The Piedmont North Caroli na Immigration Assocltlon. It was reported at that meeting that many of the farms in the varlotia counties of Piedmont North Carolina, were abandoned, some on account of the scarcity of labor, others) going from their farms to the manufactur ing centers consequently the towns in our section are building up rapidly, but at the expense of the rural dis tricts. It was the opinion of the dele gation present at the above named meeting that something must be done to increase the population of our rural districts. A Swedish gentleman was present who had been in this country only six years, and he stated that he was high ly delighted with the country and cli mate. He made a short talk In which ho stated that if the people of Swe den and other European countries only knew of our good, cheap lands;, and our plendid, mild climate, this Pied mont section would soon be filled up with the best of farmers from those countries. Such is the testimony of farmers from other sections who have come Into this Piedmont country. To show up our section properly we should first get up a strong organiza tion, and some money will have to be raised, but a small amount from each Interested party scattered throughout this Piedmont country will be suffi cient to send out a representaive who knows our counry well, and by strong united effort much can be accomplish ed. The association does not expect to make anything out Af the enterprise, but indirectly we will all gain in the end, If we are successful, and it would bo a big thing for this JrMedmont sec tion, and for the State at large. I appeal to you to consider this im portant matter, come or send repre sentatives of your best men from all the counties of Piedmont, North Caro lina, to the meeting to be held Thurs day. January 11, 1906, at 2 p. m., at the Henbow Hotel, Greensboro, North Carolllna. If you are Interested and expect to he at the meeting, let me hear from you. I hope to hear from all the coun ties In the Piedmont section of North Carolina. Respectfully submitted, J. VAN LINDLEY, President. Pomona. N. C. SOCTIIEltX FARMS. Itnpld Increase in Values Makes the Whole South Prosperous. Manufacturers' Record. "While It is true that the industrial development of the 8outh is going forward with amalng rapidity, it is nevertheless, true of the sftctent of the agricultural Interests of the South, agriculture is yet the foundation of the business of that section. A change from poverty to prosperity of I ho farmer, anil a change from land without selling value to land In de mand at an advance of 50 to 150 per cent over the nominal price of one or two years ago, is the most far reach ing development In Southern ad vancement of the last quarter of a cenlury. It Is f 51 r reaching In many ways. It iiwatis that within the last year or two .Southern farm properties have Increased not less than $1,000,000,000 in value, probably, $1,500,000,000. Hut more than that, it mcanti that under this Improved financial condition the southern farmer ha gained new courage, new backbone; that he has learned how to market his cotton crop; that ho has fought to a finish tho great battle as to whether the producer or the specuisrtor is to con trol the price of his staple. Having won this tight, the entire handling of cotton from the field to the factory, whether tin' factory tie In this coun try or in lairope, has entered upon an entirely new stage In its history. It also means that land will be more thoroughly cultivated, for tho success ful mnn, whether he be a farmer, a meich.uil, or a manufacturer, In al ways better able to work to good ad vantage than the one who is lighting a losing battle. I iiirlng (he last bIx yearrs the total eiiliio of the cotton crop. Including seed, has been $;i, 600,000, against $2. P.w.ooo.ooo for the preceding six years, showing a gain In the last six years over the preceding six of $1,400,000,000 It Is not . however, due to this great increase In cotton value alone that the Southern farmer in In better shape.. More and more has tho di versification of agriculture gone on; more and more have fruit growing and truck raising, "hog and hominy," with the meat-house at home rather than In the West. Iwen developed throughout the South. TF.ST OF WIKFXES8. Kffort to Keep in Communication With the Dowey. Nsw York Herald. Whs!

RaUroads stake Much on Hope of Radical ChangeClergymen, Too, Must Pay. i Baltimore Sun. The effect of the agreement by a number of railroad companies to Issue no passes after January 1 except to their employes Is much discussed In transportation circles. The railroads will interchange passes for each oth er's employes. To show exactly wbo will be affected by this order Is not easy, as the com panies are not in the habit of opening their free list for public Inspection. In general. It can be stated, that it will affecH court judges and officials, city officers, executive as well as adminis trative, including city Council men and clerks of the Council branches; exe cutive and admiststrative officers of State governments, including members of the Legislature; members of the United States Senate and House .of Representatives and all others in the Government service of both high and low degree, as well as employes of newspapers. The order, as understood, means the entire abolition of the free pass system, except as it relates to railroad employes. There is to be no distinction, it is now assented, even in favor of the President of the United States, on the lines which have become parties to the agreement. ' ' Clergymen aatd members of religious orders, who have heretofore traveled at reduced rates, are likewise affected by the change. They will have to pay full fare after the order goes into eff ect. The lines which are parties to the agreement include the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio. New York Central, Lehigh Valley, Reading, Chesapeake and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western. What the roads will (save by this action Is problematical. It Is well un derstood that many persons would ride when they could go free who would not do so when required to pay fare. Friends of municipal. State and nation al offlolals will be cut off from a per quisite long enjoyed. It is said that the new policy has not been adopted by the railroads because of any knowledge of widespread abuse of privileges. In fact. It is declared, cases are rare where a deliberate at tempt at deception or fraud as devel oped. It Is rather the result, railroad men say, of a general public sentiment that it is a discrimination In favor of classes or individuals. Some States, It is said, prohibit their officers from accepting passes. It is rather In anti cipation of the growth of this senti ment than any existing abuse, It is said, which has prompted the cause of the railroads at this time. The recorde of the Baltimore & Ohio show interesting instances of how the pass prlviledge is regarded by some persons. One developed recently which had such a touch of humor In it that it almost secured the applicant what he asked, but It did not. - A resident of Vulcan, 111., whom' It is not unfair to call Smith, although that is not his name, wrote to the passenger depart ment of the Baltimore and Ohio for a pass from his home to Washington and back. The ground on which he asked' for the pass was that he was a judge. The request was referred to the West ern division of the company at Chica go for investigation!. In a short time an answer came back. The case had been looked Into, and the only claim to the title of "Judge" which the appli cant had was that at one time he had judged the horse racing at the county fair. A fire at Hankow, the "Chicago of China," recently destroyed $$5,000 houses. The taxpayers of Lincoln county, Nevada, are suing the County Com mtssloners to compel them to Increase the tax levy. The citizens want to pay off the county indebtedness, which amounts to $050,000. An evangelist named Regan offend ed the cltlzetj of Rohnervllle, Californ ia, recently by devoting what Is con sidered too much attention to the spiritual welfare of some of the young women or the piece, una tate one night twenty-five young men waited upon Brother Regan and escorted him out of town, since which 'time he has not been heard from.
