'More People in one Part of the South Meant More Buslneu in all Parti of the South." ' Editor News: Dear Sir: -Most heartily I wish to thank you for the great work you have done. The "Back Home" move ment is actually winging our Southern people back from the West; their coming is causing others to inquire the reason; it is causing our people in the West to counsel our young men to stay in the South, and to "talk up" the South in their present communi ties; it is getting front page space on the great newspapers of the Middle and Northwest; it is arousing our own ' people to the point of taking a personal interest in getting more people into the Southern states, and all these are due to your broad-sighted, unsel fish co-operation with ps in press ing the "Back .Home" movement campaign. All honor to you for it; and may your share of the re sulting good be large. . But there is yet more for us to do. We must obtain the names and addresses of all our runaways in order to reach them with argu ment, and wo must so arouse aud direct public opinion that all the lailroads, v state and local boards of trade, and other public agencies will devote their activities to the movement May I still look to you for helpt If so, please send me copy of whatever you may print on the subject I desire this so that I may- lay it before the executive heads of the differ ent railroads we are trying to bring into the movement; also to use as reprints to send to people in other states. I i all cases you will be given credit Some South ern editorials I have reprinted have been most effective as adver tising matter for the South, and I desire to have Bimilar ones from every section. I trust you can arrange to meet ' with the railroads and boards of trade at the "Back Home" Con ference in Chattanooga, 'Tenn., March 15th, Please advise if you can. Yours sincerely, W, D. Eobebts.

LINCOLN COUNTY BOY WRITES FROM ATLANTA. Atlanta, Ga. Mar., 1. Mr. Editor: This morning as I am sitting at the window,' here at my boarding house, looking out upon the rain, (for it is raining here), my thoughts wander back to the dear old home of my childhood, and the good people whom I mixed and mingled with when I was a boy, and I find an inexpressabie longing comidg up in my heart to be a little boy again and be back at the old home where we all had so many good times together. And too. I remember the little old school house where we-would go to school, and the good times that we would have at recess playing ball or base, or some . other game that we all knew how to play. Of course we did not confine bur play to recess alone, for I am sorry to say that we did not study all the time during study hours, but that we would sometimes look across the school room and wink at some other boy and then when the teacher was hot looking we would pitch him a ball, or maybe a note for him to hand to our girl if he was a little closer to her than we were. Yes, we would throw paper balls at each other and sometimes the master, would catch us at our tricks and then we could look out for we would get a "llckin" sure. But we were happy then and did not mind the whipping very much. 0 yes, those were happy days even though we did get a scolding now and then, and sometime worse than scoldings. But, when we get bid enough to . know what ... we are doing, we are sorry that we did not make better use of our time, when we had the chance to study, and try to learn something. It is a sad fact that the children all over the country do not try to learn as much as they could when they have the opportunity. We can'l lay the blame on the poor over worked teacher, for as a rule in the country schools the teacher has anywhere from 25 to 75 students to look after, and when a teaoher has over 35 or 40 they can't look aftct the children as they ought to, and therefore the children on account of so little attention, do not do as well as they should. This Is a question that the people in the country as well as in town, ought to think about more and not only think but act, and when the people all get to the place where they will act in regard to this matter we will have longer and better schools and more teach ers. , Now some man, who has no children to send to school, will say that he has nothing to do with it for he has nobody to go to school, and therefore he does not care whether they havs any, better schools or not But then he has got something to do with it, or at least he ought to have, for it is a duty he owes to his fellow men and to God, to do all in his power to help in the fight for better schools. In looking over yesterday's edition of the Atlanta Journal, I found a statement made by Gov. Hooper, of Tenn,, in' talking to the prisoners in a state prison near Marshville, which impressed me very much. He said: "t shall not pardon as many -of you as some of my- predecessors nave, but I shall earnestly, strive far the-enactment of laws that will make you better men." I think it would do well for some other gov ernors and not only the governors but the people at large to do all in their power to help to carry into effect those words of Gov. Hooper, not only in Tenn., but iu every state in the U. 8. I am indeed glad that the min isters of Lincolnton have decided to talk to the people through the press, for we all know that there are a great many-people who never go to church, but they do get the county paper, aud it is through the columns that, those people are to be reached. Of course, there are those who would not read what the preacher bad to say, but then there are a great many who will read it just for curiosity, and if it is what it ought to be they will become interested and a great deal of good will be accomplished just because the preacher took time to write a short article for the Editor to publish in the paper. Well, if you all will excuse these rambling remarks of mine will close for this time, for when I sat down to write I did not have any idea what I was going to -write about, but I trust what I have said may be the means of helping some one, in Borne way.' If this misses the waste basket will come again. ' - I am, very truly your friend, ' " Traveler. NEWS FROM CROUSE. Correspondenee of The Gastonia Ga zette. Crouse, Feb. 25.
