Fayettevilie, N. C. The King Clothier
y well, ni matter if he lives in a
wilderness, the world will make
a beaten path to his door. And
this is very true. I rode the other
day to see a farmer not many
miies from where I am writing,
and found that the Governor of
the State had just been there to
&ee his corn crop, and a great
number of other men had come
miles and miles to see this man's
farm. And why? Simply be
cause he had done more with an
acre than any other man in the
county.
If your brother wants to go to
town to clerk in a store and
measure calico as somebody else's
hired man. let him go. YTou stay
on the farm, where you can be
independent, living under your
own vine and fig tree, and where
you can take part in all these
great movements that are going
to cour.t for so much in human
progress and in the world's de
velopment these next fifty years.
We have had too many farmer
joys already who have made
second-rate merchants and clerks
who might have made prominent
farmers and men of influence in
their coucties.
It a great deal better and
more useful to Ie a leader in show
ing how to make more cotton per
acre than it is to merely measure

cotton goods when a buyer wants
