The is no calling in this country to-day which is more underrated or as little appreciated as the call ing of the farmer, for all things considered it is wthout doubt the best of all. We do not mean bv thi9 that, it is a calling in-which there ia the moat moniy, tor.tlmt would not be true. If inoncy w en tile main object ot endeavor neither would the first remark be true, but money is not the first object in the eve of the man who taks the right, view of farming, and generally that in the. man who in proportion "to his "means and his efforts makes he most money nnt of it; for the reason that he farms right. We know that owing to the great depression which has pre vailed in the industry for some years there has been much dis couragement, and much discontent amongst the farmers of the coun try as a class, and many of them have nursed the hope that, by po litical combination they could, re move some of the obstacles t their prosperity and thus better, their condition.- In as Tar as the troubles i they complain of are.the reBult of particular methods ot government they might in time by combination remove -some -;of all of these, but. Ilien Uiu prosper ity of thei farmer would .depend more -upon the" public policies that miglit. obtain. -A -lower taritl which would encourage export h and create, a greater demand for the products of the farm, resulting at tne'same time in eneanenum many of ti3 "-.articles, which th farmer has to buy, would mate rially assist in romovinu the de pression, and so would an increase of sufficient proportions . in the volume of the currency, for the farmer has gulfer.ed 'much both from a contracted t fade and a con tracted volume of currency. But if these hindrances were even then the prosperity of the farmer would be mainly dependent upon him self and upon his own methods. Success must be . achieved by method, perseverance, industry and' intelligently directed effort These are necessary to monetary success, just as these qualities an necessary in. any walk of life where uioney is sought. But we hoh that the farmer who has the true conception of his calling, and views it as it should be viewed will not. make money the kirst obje.ct of Uia ettorts, but .will sub ordinate that to other and, more important considerations. . The farmer who makes a slave of him self to make money simply abuse? himself and his opportuinties,cuts out a miserable existence qf him self when it is in; his pdwer to be among the most contented and the happiest of men. Of course we do not mean by this that he should 6eT.uo value - upon money, and. make no effort for it, for that would "be nonsense, but we do . mean that money -hould not so absorb his thoughts, as to make him.forget other things and strug gle arid 'suffer for that, as so many farmets do from year to-yearr un til they 6. down broken in body and -spirit q -a premature grave, the victims. of their own folly: The farmer of all the men in the world is4he man who' has no task master . In :.all the profes sions, there is vigorous .ami alert competition and the man who suc ceeds must apply himself closely or be lett in the race. And l-o in ilu mercantile calling. The suc cessful merchant inuit hustle and t kpen hnstlinir to protect1' himself fcl . ! , . - H f nni the keen competition around R 1 i n.

If he be out of debt (and evy farmfir who 6an should be) he canx look upon the disasters of others with a sense of sec urityj that no other man can feel. -',;. Doesn't this compensate for many of the real tor imaRinary drawbacks., in the calling of the former ? It has its drawback we know. Its isolation and monoto ny are irksome, to some, but "even these can be overcome partially, if not wholly, by malting the farm more of a home than so many make it, and surrounding it with comforts and adornments to make t attractive and lovable. 'The man who centers his thoughts on money will never do that, and his hildren will be impatient for the lay to come when1 they can leave the farm; and; take their chances among the countless throng who oil in the cities. " The' wise' farmer's first object will be to make"hi8 home a cosy, comfortable, attractive abiding place for himself and - family, to surround it with as many comforts and conveniences as his means 11 permit, to enslave neither ' . . - 7 : himself, his wife nor hia children, but to make their days bright and cheerful, and give them the best not the most fashionable) educa tion ) education he can; If he does all this (and he can) and does' not wear himself out trying to make dyllars to put away, he will soon realize that hia is one of the heat of callings, arid at the same time one of the most attractive. Wil mington Stak, -. ' The Illcu aud Ilie Poor. During the" last few weeks our countrv has been the scene of a series of pilgrimages, all directed to the shrine af the Federal capi- tol,- and having for their object some mysterious alleviation by governmental methods of the hardships of the poor man's life. The central idea underlypg these these organizations seem to he that as money is the embodiment of man's possessions and opena Up to him the road to hnnnesa on earth, and as government poa sesses he right te coin money in its mints and print bills' in its printing offices, that it also can be for the nonce the creator of money The members of these pilgrimages. termed Coxey's Arny, leHya Ar my and thft V$X prppese to go to Washington, and by their presence to give so imposing a demonsta tion as to influence, legislation in the desired direction. One scheme is to have the government issue bonds' bearine no interest and payable in installments. Whatever one's opinion may be of the right of a man to be rich, it is far from clear how the prcinpaed issue of bonds could, conduct ed so as. to produce any good ef fectr As the world is organiied and as humanity is constituted, there will always be richaud poor. The distribution, of wealth may seem unjust. The deserving in ventor who has worn his life out in devising improvements in mechanical' things, the scientist who has worked for h$urs evolv ing in the laboratory r,ew chemi- bal products,: the bacteriologist who finds a panacea for the most dreaded diseases, certainly rank as the benefactors of hnmanity ; but the history of the world shows that it is precisely these classes who receive the benefit least com mensurate with the value ot their work, when its importance to the rest of humanitv is, considered The invent0? invents, and patents and the capitalist makes the for tune from the invention. This is the story repeated over and over again. Yet unjust and severe as it seems, this is the definite lot of humanity, and there is no proba bility that the cure of inequality of fortune will ever be discovered. The atypical inventor invents because he has to, and he may hope to reap a modest reward from his work. Whether he does or does nothis very genius will not allow him to be idle. The appar-1 ent injustice has to be endured-1 But in spite of the communistic I tendencies of the age on one side J and of the undue accumulation of I wealth by the few on the other I aide, examples sometimes. appear I vhere the benefactor of humanity from the standpoint of scientific I or mechanical advancement meets I with an adequate reward. In a I recent address before the old rew York society, the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, Mr. Abram S. Hewitt,well known from his prominence in the iron indust- ry, as well as from his political record, gave a most graphic pre-1 sentation of the results of the work I of one of tho woild's greatest ben- efactors, Bessemer. We quote I from the concluding portions of j his address: I ''You all know about the Bes-1 semer invention of fitwd. It wna made in 1855 by a student in his laboratory. He propounded his idea to the world, but it took fif teen years before it was successful ly put in operation, I know Mr. Bessemer very well. .

Atlanta, uajt J ioinwati A ItNciiif " Years Old. Sune time ago we read an ac count of a biscuit down in Georgia that was brought out the last war and w-.is still in a good state of preservation. That was tho old est pi"ce of bread we had heard of up to this, time; but Durham county can beat it by possibly 3(J years. In 182'.i an uncle of J. II. Woods of this city, .Samuel Woods, then living in Orange county, had a vcrv sick child, and to please tho little sufferer, they baked for her an oblong biscuit which she did not eat but used it a a plaything. In this way she made several in dentions in it with her teeth. , ,1 , A (.nm ie CllllO. Il.ei n:i;i;i'.u iijuul. this si "11 of sickness, and alter her death the home made bread toy was preserved by her mother, and was always held sacred in the family as a memento of the de parted one. Mr. Samuel Woods and his fam ily then removed to Alabama and made their residence in that State. Tie; fa mil v in after years rxcamo separated, and that biscuit is now in the possession of a relative of Samuel Woods, Mr. Martha R Hall, who lives in the Flat River section, in trie northern part of this county. The biscuit isjstill well preser ved and the teeth prints .are st:ll on it just as the child made them s'xty five years ago. Mr. J. H. Woods tells us that he first came into possession of these facts a short time ago, the incident, he having heard of in hia young days, had almost passed out of his mem cry until recalled by a relative.
