"What is the attraction that San- ford has for people about here?' asked some one in noting the several removals from this section to Moore county that have taken place in the last few months. Monroe Journal. There are great possibilities in store for Sanford and Moore county. and home seekers and pnwpecUirs are quick to see them. The other day a Northern gentleman who has moved to Sanford to engage in busi ness said to us: "This is a good sec tion of country. The land can be brought up to a high state of culti vation and with improved machinery the farmers can become independent, notwithstanding the scarcity of la bor." Almost everything that can be raised on a farm can be produced in Moore county. A number of citizens who have moved from Mecklenburg and I'nion to Moore came here with the expectation of later engaging in slock raising. They tind that the soil is well adapted to the culture of clover, all kinds of grasses and grain and that the shipping facilities are unsurpassed. Si much for Moore as an agricultural county. Now as to the attractions of Sanford. No tow n in the middle section of the State has a brighter future than Sanford. When prospectors visit the place and lind everybody busy at one thing or another, they are favorably im pressed and feci that they would make no mistake in investing. They lind our merchants busy selling goods and our manufacturing establish ments rushed with orders and work ing to their full capacity. Thev find a splendid system of graded schools where they can educate their chil dren. They are told that in a few months Sanford will have one of the handsomest graded school buildings in the State. We would remind The Journal that one of Sanford's leading and most successful merchants is a gentleman from Union county and he has become so since the first of last January. If the editor of The Journal will "take a day off" and come up to Sanford we will take pleasure in showing him the attrac tions that are building up Sanford and Moore county. A Remedy Without a Peer.

J C MrNVill la ckarl,4Hllw.r. The blind etK-il-veuder wa at his post yesterday afternoon. Ifcian East Trade street, more than iu the other direction, the view suggest ed autumn. It was halcyon weath er and the light had that dreauiy Ulity which has pleased anil teased poets from the beginning of time and has put them to "looking on the happv autiiiuu fields and thinking of the days that are Uo more." Amid the idiuflle of feet on the pavement and the noise of traffic stood the blind man, Ins chin ou his breast, his shoulders drooiied, crying bis wares. It is the most pathetic sound that may lie heard in l harlot te. While two friends were standing near looking at hnu and comment Ing on the aaduetti of his lot and the mystery of the Providence that bad bis making, along came the patrol wagon, rolling merrily to the lorn ue, with a druukeu nrisouer. People waited or stepped aside for the wagon to pass, not raising their eyes to see so common a thing as a man nnder arrest. They passed the blind man where be leaned against his telephone pole, and not one out of a hundrea glanced at him. Yet Mark ham's "Man With the Hoe" has not the sermons or the poems In bim that either this blind man or this drunkard might inspire. The life that raised up clay and molded this blind man of it, put lungs aud heart aud brains into it, has fought its path through death for a million years. Iguoraut of its destiny, it has fought to keep living; has taken clay and made kings of it, and baa, of the same clay, fashioned cobblers. It has lodged in palaois and huts, in queens and U'ggar maids, has Hushed a sword ou the field of bat tle and gnided a plow through the held of corn. Aud here it is, blind. Hut, mind you, that persistent cry: "Pencils! 1'eucils!" It is not tired or dis couraged; it is lighting still. That mau bears thousands of feet tread past him; to and from every train he hears the mil ot the omnibuses; the clang of street cars, the lumber ing of wagons, the confusion of street calls, the laughter of women and the voices of children, these are bis familiars for ho is 111 the midst of them, the mortal enemy of death. And, the perpetual mys tery of it is that he doesn't know any more why he keeps at it and will not surrender than a ship knows why it responds to the rud der. He doesn't try to think of it. Aspiration and pride are abstrac tions to his mind, but he himself is their coucrete. Hut the drunk fellow went mer rily 011 to prison. A million years of struggle has resulted in him; all the sweet springs have bickered their way to this bitter sea. While hundreds of thousands of soldiers are ranged against one another for property or priuciple, and while other thousands are tireless toilers lest the dear lease of life should cease before harvest, he giggles ut of the world, red-eyed, and cares little whether he is ImiiukI to prison or paradise. He would stand and look at Atlas and laugh at him. He has elected to shirk his share of the world's burden, It has bat tled, humanity has, to set him free for (his, that he might volunteer to be found and cast into a cell.

If we consider a moment how m my worn out fatiiis there are iu North Carolina, and how inanv men and women mut get their living from such farms, we sev at once the need of doing soinethiuK to help thotie who will have this burden on their shoulders. A day's ride through the country ofleu freezes the spirits of even the most buoyant optimist. The many unpaitited, uncomfortable country homes, school hous and churches: the fields too often inert and uiipro duetive from lack of proier food and cultivation ; the luxuriant weeds stealing the fulness of (In land; the poor seiil used; "the scrub cow that boanls ilh the far nicr and is unable to pay her Ismi'd bills"; the orchards, uiispiayed, iiiipriined, unciilliviit.il. bearing only diseased fruit, but IkmiIiij; countless millions ol inx-ets, read) to devour plant life of every soil: the same fields planted year altci ye. in the same crops; the water that ought to Is saved bearing all the fertility of llie land to creeks aud rivers these are till sights too common, sights that tell the slory of a State's neglect to educate its bread winners. Thev tell tliestorv that millions have U-en spent to train lawyers, doctors, ministers, miuers, teachers for their work, but that until recently small thought has Urn given to those whose lalsirs must support all the others. No one would think of put ting a man to build 11 great hriilge unless he hail Ih-cii taught how to make a bridge both safe and strong. No one would retain a lawyer un less lie knew that the lawyer had Ikh-ii trained to his business. Yet for years we have expected fanners to know their business w ithoiit the slightest training. We have never, until 111 recent years, fried to open their eyes that thev might sir won drous things of utility iu the laws ot nature, that they might see how to take advantage of these laws just as the builders of engines take advantage of the law s of steam, ami as the electrician uses the laws of electricity. It is apparent that unless sonic method of increasing the comforts and productive power of those who live iu the country mid work the soil is adopted, the most itnibitious and the most intelligent young men ami women of the farmers will leave the country. This would Is' the most serious calamity that could U'fall a State. How can we avoid this catastro phe! Only by educating the Imys and girls so that they can make their work more prod net ive, do it iu au easier way, and consequently have more of the comforts and pleasures of life. The fundamental truths of agri culture then should Is- taught in our common schools fort wo reasons: First, for their economic value; sec onl. their cultural value in adding to the pleasure of farm life. First, then, as to the economical value of teaching this subject that the legislature has reiiuircd to lie taught iu all our schools. It is a simple matter to teach a child how to select the Is-st and most prolific seed for planting. The text book adopted by the State board gives easy and full directions how to do this, set, Mr. I.ullicr Kitrhniik, the great plant bitnli-r, has shown that if Heed were select eil no that one extra grain were added to each ch, the crop in lhe t uitet Mates won hi each year liej imreasl by 5, Li to, in si extra bush els. If one train were added to! each .Kit stalk, JO,ishi,ish bushel of oats would lie annually added to the wealth of the I uiled States, : If one more potato could la grow 11 in each hill, 'l, 000,000 more buh ;els of Mtatoes could lie year after year marketed by the farmers of jour fount ry. By seed selection, joined with good tillage, many far liners in North Carolina have a! I ready increased their com croiis I from twenty bushels tier acre to 'sixty huhels er acre. hvery year in the I niteil States, crop, fruit ami foret iests destroy over five hundred million dollars' worth of proierty. There is little dilbculty in teaching boys aud girls to recognize these coliiinou jstits, and iu teaching them how to pre vent or to destroy niost of these. The chapters on plant disease give easy ways of learning the difficult ests and for destroying them. If farmers applied these, this enor mous loxs would lie most materially reduced and enough money would lie saved each year to establish an agricultural school in every county. Nothing is easier than to show a child how to soak seed outs in for mal in, and yet, if all the oats plant -d were so treated, many millions would each year be saved to the fanners. W. S. Bl-AKHNEY.

Only a few of Pleasant (rove's Is-st men are 11011 camn liurti'ig men. It seems that the principal objection of the anli ineu are the social carryings on. I for one do not see any sia-cial wrong iu that. Chris! ianily and social intercoui'se can associate together. SiH-ial enjoyment may often be the lorerunner of Christianity.

As I have always had good suc cess in keeping sweet pobtloes, 1 will give methods of putting away. I built a small house, planking it tin ou the outside with plaiu luni- bi r; that is, without tongues and grooves, and banking the earth around the house to keep the w ater out. I put oak leaves in the house to put the potatoes on. We cover the tuliers all around aud over w ith the leaves, but not until there is danger of the weather liecoming too cold for them without this. I'util the approach of very cold weather we spread over them an old quilt or something similar, using the leaves when it becomes quite odd. South end of house is oH'ii all the time. Ity this method lour potatoes are easily housed, they get thoroughly dry, are handy to get at, and are much sweeter and better than when kept in auy other way.

So home he plods like a stupid cow iu the rain. "Sometimes these cattle dare to go to our Cossack judge and com plain when they get no pay.

The first intimation that there was anything on font came from Dr. Wy lie yesterday, when he stated to an Observer rcpmlcr that the Southern Power Company had divided iiHn the construction of a (10-mile road, running from Harmony, a small sta tion on the Seaboard Air Line, in York county, S. (' , to the present big development on the Catawba river at Creat Falls, joining with the load that is now being built from Fort Liwn, S. ('., to the same point. It is understood that this will result in an outlay of sboo.iKKi and some time will elapse before the work is linished. It will lie remembered that there are three develnpmenls contemplated at the Catawba or Creat Falls. The work has already been begun on the first of these, the one that presents the least dilliculties. As soon as the machinery is installed at this point. and when this development is prac tically completed, then work will be commenced on the other I wo. The fact is admitted by the ollicials of the company that a vast amount of machinery must Is' brought in be fore these additional developments may lie made. The task is going b s' a most laborious one and already the enginecers of the company are making ready for what is lo come. When this nwnl is complete, connect ing the plant at Orcat rails directly with the Northern markets, then the liansporlalion troubles w ill be at an end. In this rvav the development f the other rapids will not be so perplexing. This new road means much for the Nmlhcrn l ower Com pany and even more for that section if the country through w hich it is to pass.
