B Hyman ives you excellent photographs. Beavee Dam, Aug., 20th, 1894. Dear Ixdex : 1 am a subscriber to your newsy. and instructive journal, as by refer ence to vour subscription roil will more tally appear, and being a sub scriber, 1 never fail to read aud pon der ail of its instructive, as well as us amusing articles. In your last issue' under the cap tion ol ''Causes of Hard Times,7' was an aiucle ttiat afforded ui lowd for oom amusement and thought. It is a Happy faculty of tne liumau mind to aitvuyb be aole to attrioute to oili er causes tne evil of our own bad couduct and mismanagement, am to lay the fruits of our own improvi dence at some oilier door tljiii our own. l Whs I'he .exeiciae anil opera tiou of mat "felicitous eiiaowiuent,; tnat prompted ea.cn and every one of the ascribed "Causes ot Hard Timeis.'' 1 hold now, as 1 ever have held, that cue true cause ol the so called hard times, is our own improvidence aud extravagance. The true cause lo at uut" uwu . loore and consists lagei) in ourow u mismanagement j oX our own domestic atfairs. 11 we had continued (lroin the clo&e of tne war until low,) iuc ame system ol economy un.u pra-, deuce lu domestic mauaeineut tUat we inaugurated during ttie war, to wn. iXJuhiiig what we lived upon, auu iiviijg Uoli wnat e made, we would to day ue the iuusC prosper ous and liappy jeople upon cue Jace ol tlie gloOe. l ins conclusion is hl a meiiui speculation, but la forced upon me by actual observation. I Know a farmer, could call mm by name it it it was necessary, who started in life a bound apprentice, wiiu came out of tne war wuli noth ing save tlie clot es that he wore home, and they were ragged, he cul tivated his tirst crop upon reined laud .vuh a blind mule to-dav he owns a farm of four hundred acres well stocked with team, and vvitu cows, sheep, hogs and poultry of Va rious kinds, he has an ample sup ply oi wheat, corn, oats and hay, lor ins family and his stock, and m his smoke house is meat and lad enough to last him until Christmas, and all of his own raising aud he owes lio man anything, and laughs when you talk to him about hard times. "He says that he buys nothing exc salt, sugar and a few Sunday clothes aud he never bought them cheaper in his life than now, and has no cause to complain. His plan is to make everything that he may need for home consumption, at home and then to make all the cotton he can cultivate, but never lets his cotton infringe upon his supply crops, he says that cotton is low, but when comp ared with the price of what he had to buy, all things are about equal. I know another man who, since the war, had given to him by his father a good farm well stocked with team, and supplies for one year. This young man started out with goodoppor tu n i t les and advantages, but -he operated upon .' the principle that it is better 'to make cotton ex clusively and buy all supplies, the cotton decreased in price, loans and advances had to be obtained at ex orbitant rates" of interest. The stock dwindled when fed upon bought corn and hay,4 the farm was mort gaged and fin a J ly sold by the mort. gagee, and to-day that man is a loud mouthed oliticiau, and is profuse in his denunciations of the laws of the land. Attributes all hi3 calami ties to bad legislation and is clamor ous for re forma tiou. .Now Mr. Kditor, I am asking for information, if this state of affairs is attributable to the laws of the laud howfis it, that it does not effect both of these men alike ? Aud had we nojbetter commence the much talk ed of reformation at our own homes. P. A. W. H1GHEB EDUDATION. Higher educatiou in North Car olina costs the masses of the people practically nothing and cost ve-y few tax payers over seventeen aud one halt cents, it is tne cneapest tmug in the State and yet the most valuable. The objection that not all attend the higher schools and therefore that they do . not benefit all. applies equali toNthe lower sc. oo8; for two tniixis of the children ot sonool age in $orth Carolina do not attend the public schools. The objection is latal to any sysum. VV uat .Nor in Carolina spends for higher education may best be seen by a comparison with the amouuts spent by other states. The following tiures are luruisned by the state superintendents, and do not include appropriations for repairs, buildings, etc Aiiey represent the annual ap propriations lor maintenance: North Carolina, $4VJ00 South Carolina, 5107,OOU ; V irgiuia, $11,0 JO ; Geor gia, t1.000; west Virginia, $200, 000; Connect. cut, $o0,000 ; Penn sylvania, loO.tOO; New Yolk, 506, iuui.

The list -is not complete as every State in the Union might be added.! It thus appears trom tacts and figures (1) tnat North Carolina snould do more and not less for edu cation . (2) that the masses of the people will get neither lower nor higher education without State aid (3) that the burden cf supporting higher educatiou in North Carolina, rests upon very tew taxpayers and not heavily upon them: (4) that those who are making the biggest fuss about this burden are not help ing to bear it.--Nc-ws-Obseryer.
