FI6HERMAJ7 h FARMER BY A. H. MITCHELL- Entered nt the Vost-OmCC at Eli-abeth Cit 'B tnd class matter. E U2ABFTH mnr. Aug 12, rSgSi It is said that the politician is getting in his sweet promises from the voter already. The troops at Jacksonville uu der command ot General Fitz hugh Lee, it is said, will be sent to Havana' for garrison duty after peace has been concluded. The conduct of the war, so lauded by the Washington Pest, has brought so many charges against high officials that a Con grcssitnal investigation is sure. The war is coming to an end and all men should rejoice. Be sides the hundreds of lives lost the expenditures on account of the war up to the end of July have been about 590,000,000. Last spring Spain got fighting md because we invited her to evacuate- Cuba, now, it is staled, she is willing to leave this hem ispheie if we will only give her a little time about it. A change has come over the spirit of her dreams War is said to be imminent between England aud Rr.- ia, growing out of the chronic trouble in India. An encounter between the British lion and the Russian boar at this time wouM make fur fly. A dispatch from Madrid stales that Spain's answer, ac ccpting all the Americ an terms, has been sent to Paris to be trans mitted to Washington. The answer, it is stated, declares that Spain cannot discuss the pro posals, but accepts them itnpos ed upon her by force. The Cuban debt, the date and the mauiier of the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico, the pro tection, of Spaniards and of Spanish interests in those is lands, whether or not Spain shall withdraw her arms and ammunition irom Cuba and I'orto Rioo, and the future of the Philippines, are to be dc cided by a commission. The most difficult question, perhaps, that this commission will have to determine, will be the settle- mcnt of lhe Cuban dedt. Spuin has borrowed large sums of money much of it from French men for the purpose of crushing the Cuban insurrec tion, and has pledged the reve nues of that island for the pay ment of the interest and prin cipal of the bonds. The Cuban people, it must be remembered, derived no benefit whatever, from the money and had no voice in the creation of the debt, but powerful influences will be cxeited to compel them to as sume the burden. However, as the Senate of the United States "will be a party to the treaty that will b.J made, that body may be lelied upon to see that the Cubans have justice done them that no onerous burden is placed upon them for the benefit of foreigners who furnished money for their subjection. Should Cry And Not Laugh. News & Observer. The Democratic Executive Committee of Harnett county, in enumerating the institutions that arc under the control of the negro in this regime name tho D. D. and P. Institution at Raleigh. Because the white da and dumb have been moved to Morganton, the Progressive Farmer thinks it has discovered a mare's nest. The name of the institution has not been chang ed and it is the Harnett Demo crats who arc right and not the Progressive Farmer. It is 0 fact that practically the uero Jim Young is at the head of the dir ectors of this institution in which the blind white children are educated. It is a shame and a disgrace, and if the Progressive Farmer had not joined the Re publican partv in order to get two salaries it would be iudign ant instead of making sport. It is no laughing matter to buve your unfortunate child .compelled to attend a school the destinies of -which are in the hand of a negro politician. From the county school to the State institution for the D, D. and lk th-e white children are placed under negro directors. DOING ONE'S DUTY. War is in one respect a moral educator. It teaches the young men who en!ist in army or navy to do their duty, whatever it may be, and to oey orders- a kind of education that is ui'fort unatcly lacking in civil life. The same lesson is conveyed to the non-combatants bythe stories of heroic deeds and sacrifices made by the men at the front. War is said to be demoralizing, and, undoubtedly, some young men are ruined by the vices con tracted in the army, but those who escape contamination come back to civil life with higher ideas of duty than they had be fore and a disposition to philo sophically accept whatever may be in store for them. One of the great faults ot American society is that young people are not subjected to en- ough discipline to make them respectful and obedient. Long before they are mature enough to take the direction of affairs into their own hands they estab lish their independence of A. authority, much to their own disadvantage. The tendency of their training is to make them selfish. They have no proper conception of duty and do, or neglect to do, the work assign ed to them, or which properly falls to their share, according as it suits them. They need the shaip command and the dis cipline of military lite to teach them to be orderly and respect ful ot authority. We cannot, of course, import into civil life the rules of the army or establish civil rank: as the expression of authority, but omctliing of the military need ed to correct the faults of too great license, and this comes to a community through a war. The tens of thousands who en ter the army and navy arc taught to obey and are given a proper sense of duty and of the importance of discharging it properly and without complain ing. Tens of thousands of younger people, imitating . the soldiers, acquire in some de gree the same lesson, and those who simply look on are influenc ed by the discipline they obs serve. Thus, for a time, while the military influence lasts, the nation is made better by the discipline of the military forces, and, more especially, bythe high ideal of duty set before men. Only those who do their duty unflinchingly are respected, those who shrink from or evade it are scorned as skulkers and cowards. A kind of hero-wors ship is developed which is ela ting to those who worship aright by striving to emulate their ideal. The military vir tues of obedience to orders, punctuality, the strict discharge ot duty without regard to one's personal feelings or desires these are virtues worth importing into civil life and they are, to some extent, trans planted insensibly by the ob servation of the work of milita ry and naval heroes. Farmers Can make Good Roads. John Gilmer Speed, writing on How to Have Good Coun try Roads," in the August Ladies1 Home journal, proposes "that in each county there be founded a Road Improvement Association, which shall have a one or two days meeting in the autumn of each year. - To the membership and to the meet ings all the farmers should be invited, while all those in the county acting as road overseers, or road supervisors, should be urged especially to attend. At these meetings special, definite, practical instruction should be given in maintaining and repair ing dirt roads. Competent men to give such instruction can be secured without cost to such so cietes, for the United States De partment ot Agriculture has a Road Bureau, and this bureau will always supply a comptent instructor to tell the people just exactly what they need, and how to do the work as it should be clone." Mr. Speed also urges that school children be interested in work and taught the rudiments of road-keeping. Nervous debility is a common com plaiut, espfccUlly among women. The best medical treatment for this disor der is a persiatent course of Ayei's Sareapaiilla t clease and vigorate the blood. Tkis being accomplished, na ture will do the rest. When the girls get through kissing the army we would like to use it for awhile in Cuba. Memphis Commercial Appeal.

A Home 3Inde Sad. The Grand Master of the uni verse in the exercise of his in, scrutable wisdom did on the 7th day of Aug. 1898, see fit to transfer our greatly beloved sis ter, Mary S. Trafton, from the service of her earthly activity to our Father's house beyond the skies.. She was born December 31, 185S and died at her home near Bellcross, Sunday night, thus, severing the long and intimate relations, existing between her and relatives who anxiously awaited by the bedside night and day for her recovery. She gradually sink and passed quiet ly away into the arms of Jesus. A heavenly influence seemed to pervade the death chamber as she passed over the valley of death. It is so hard to say good bye to our loved ones, while it is hard to part, it will be sweet to meet yonder. The consoling words ot David, the Psalmist, will comfort us. "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." We. whose heaits are sadden ed and lives made lonely, ex press our deep sense of irrepara ble loss in the death of a wo man, so devoted to Christ and so ready with time and talent for the betterment oc the world and higher training of her brethren and sister in Christ. That with deep sense of a blighting grief that rests upon the hearts of her loved ones. We extend to each one of them our profound sympathy, praying that this great loss to all of us may be overruled by Him who knoweth all things. .Remem ber she is not dead but sleepeth. Weep not dear ones, but strive to meet her around the throne of God to join in His glorious praise with the redeemed.
