Mr S-Mrvrlr Mrwwtft lu Cm- The only other person whose welfare is an vital to the welfare of tit whole eouutry as In the welfare of the wage-workers are the tiller of the soil, the farmers. It ins mere truism to nay that uo growth of oil tea, no growth of wealth, uo iu dual rial development ran atoue for any falling on in the character and tat ami i tig of the farm t tig imputation During the last few decades thin fart baa beeu recoguized with ever increasing clearness. There is uo longer auy failure to realie that faruitug.at least lucertaiu branches, must liecome a technical audscieu tilic profession. Tbia means that there must be opeu to faruteni the rliauce for technical and scientific training, not theoretical inerely, but of the moMt severely practical tye. The farmer represents a peculiarly high type of Americau citizenship, aud he must have the same chance to rai.se aud develop aa other Americau citizens have. Morever, it inexactly as true of the farmer as it is of the business mau and wage-worker, that the ultimate success of the nation of which he forma a part must be founded not aloue on material prosperity, but upon high moral, mental aud phys ical development. This education of the farmer self education by preference, but also education from the outside, as with all other meu is peculiarly neonwary here iu the I uited States, a here the fron tier conditions even iu the newest States have now nearly vanished, where there must lie a sulwtitutiou of a more intensive system of culti vation for the old wasteful farm management, and where there must be a better business organisation among the farmers themselves. Heveral factors must co-oierate in the improvement of the farmer's conditiou. He must have the chance to lie educated in the widest possible sense in the sense which keeps ever iu view the intimate re lationship lietween the theory of education and the facts of life. In all education we should widen our aims.- It is a good thing to pro duce a certain number of trained scholars and students; but the ed ucation superintended by the State must seek rather to produce a hun dred good citizens than merely one scholar, and it must turn now and theu from the class book to the study of the great book of na ture itself. This is especially true of the tin nier, as has been pointed out airaiu and again by all observ ers most competent to pass practi cal judgment en the problems of our country life. All students now realize that education must seek to train the executive powers of young people, aud to confer more real significance upon t he phrase diguity of lalstr," and to prepare the pupils so that in addition to each developing in the highest de gree his individual capacity for work, they may together help cre ate a right public opinion, and show in many ways social ami co- tperative spirit. Organization has become necessary iu the business world: aud it has accomplished much for good in the world of labor. It is no less necessary for farmers, Buch a movement as the grange movement is good in itself, and is capable of a well nigh in- linite further extension for good so long as it Is kept to its own legiti mate business. The benefits to be derived by the association of farm ers for mutual advantage are part Aro your children troubled with croup, colds, chapped hands and lips?

The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Stnd for frit tamplm. ly economic aud partly sociologies Moreover, while in the long rej voluutary effort will prove mo etticacious than govern me ut aseiav auce, while the farmers must pri tuarily do most for themselves, yel the government eaa also do much. I The department of agriculture has) broken new ground in many direc tions, aud year by year it fiuds how it ran improve its methods and de velop fresh usefulness. It coo-. staut effort is to give the govern mental assistance iu the most effect ive way; that is, through associa tions of farmers rather than to or through individual farmers. It is also striviug to co-ordinate its work w ith the agricultural departments of the several State, and so far as its owu work is educatioual, to co ordinate it with the work of other educational authorities. Agricul tnral educatiou is necessarily based upou general education, but our agricultural educatioual institu tions are wisely specialising them selves, making their courses relate to the actual teaching of the agn cultural aud kindred sciences to young eouutry or young city peo ple who wish to live iu the country. Great progress has already been made among farmers by the ere ationof farmers' institutes, of dairy associations, of breeders' assocta tious, horticultural associations and the like. A striking example of how the government aud the farm era ran co-operate is shown in con ncctiou with the menace offered to the cottou growers of the Southern States by the advance of the boll weevil. The department is doing all it can to organize the farmers in the threatened districts, just as it has been domg all it can to or ganize them in aid of its work to eradicate the cattle fever tick iu the South. The department cau and will co-oierate with all such associations, aud it must have their help if its work is to be done iu the most effective style. I am well aware of how difficult it is to pass a constitutional amend uient Nevertheless, in my judg ment, the whole question of mar riage aud divorce should be rele gated to the authority of the Na tional Congress. At present the wide differences in the laws of the different States on this subject re sult in scandals aud abuse; and surely there is nothing so vitally essential to the welfare of the na tion, nothing around which the natiou should so beud itself to throw eery saieguaru, as me home life of the average citizen, lne change would be good from every standpoint In particular it would lie good because it would confer on the Congress the power at once to deal radically and eflicieutly with polygamy; aud this should be done whether or not marriage and di vorce are dealt with. It is neither safe nor proper to leave the ques tion of polygamy to be dealt with by the several States, rower to deal with it should be conferred ou the national government When home ties are loosened; when men aud women cease to re gard a worthy family life, with all its duties fully performed, and all its respodsibilities lived np to, as the life best worth living; then evil days for the commonwealth are at hand, there are regions In our laud, and classes of our population, where the birth rate has sunk be low the death rate. Sorely it should need no demonstration to show that willful sterility is, from the stand point of the nation, fiom the stand point of the human race, the one sin for which the penalty is na tional death, race death; a sin for which there is no atonement; a sin which is the more dreadful exactly in proportion as the men and wo men guilty thereof are in other re spects, iu character, aud bodily aud mental powers, those whom for the sake of the state it would be well to see the fathers and moth era of many healthy children, well broucht nn in hm -J" VV) bv their presence.

C, was a scene of ex quisite beauty on Wednesday, De cember 0th, when their daughter, Kula May, became the bride of Mr. Charles Moss Duke of Nashville, Tenn. For days previous to the occasion loving hands had beeu busy transforming their home into a place of lloral beauty, and by 11 o'clock the invited guests begau to gather, coming from four States. l'romptly at the apiwmted hour, 12:30, the inspiring strains of Meu- delssohn's wedding march pealed forth uuder the skillful touch of Mrs. Thomas Kugene Funderburk of Lancaster, 8. C. The bridal par ty entered the north parlor as fol lows: Miss Alma i umlurburk, sis ter of the bride, with Mr. Mac Cam eron of Lauriuburg; then the groom with Mr. Geo. II. 1'age of Atlanta, his best man; following came the fair bride leaning ou the arm of her sister aud maid of honor, Miss Minnie Funderburk. While Hev. B. 8.

Bailee and Mrs. a H. La ney. From a cozy nook in the front hall delicious fruit punch was served by Miss Atha Funderburk. The bride is one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies in Chesterfield county, and will be greatly missed by her wide circle of friends, while the groom is a well known traveling repre sentative of the Kemker-Woolwine Company of Nashville, Teun., and is a young man of sterling worth. The bridal party drove to Mon roe, where the happy couple board ed the south-bound train for Nash ville, via Atlanta, where they will be entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. rage. The raauy beauti ful and costly presents but faintly attested the popularity of both parties. The bride s going away gown was of gray taffeta and velvet, with hat and shoes to match.

Elizabeth City Paper Tells Curious Story and Vouches lor It. Elilthi uy nvnnmirt. Dir. Henry Sykes, wife and chil dren of Columbia, N. C, are iu the city visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Sykes is the gentleman whose phenomiual rase was recorded iu the Daily Economist some time ago, which account evoked ouly smiles of incredulity on the part of the people and the press of the State. One of Mr. Sykes' legs, after months of torture to Mr. Sykes, on the 2nd day of last Feb ruary, amputated itself, and actu ally dropped oil' without the use of kuifc or the assistance of a surgeon. Since then Mr. Sykes hus regained his health and is today practically a well iiuiii, and is in t he city with his wife and children. Those doubt ing the truth of this strange case cau easily see Mr. Sykes and have the facts verified. Life Saved by Cork Leg.

Chalked on the bulletin board Weighty Family.' Anirl S.ioti- We noticed a few days ago that a family of six in one of the east ern counties weighed 1, 100 pounds. That is pretty good. But right here in Kockinghnm we think we can equal that. There is a family here, seven in all, the youngest live years old, and the oldest child only fourteen that will show up about as eu as anywhere else, which goes to prove that Kockiugham is about as healthy a place as you will tind anywhere. The oldest child, four teen years, weighs Kill pounds, and the youngest, only five, weighs 50. Tut ub4t uiauii, 4M mni, nriL;iiB the third, K5 and the fourth 00 and he is only seven years old.

But he bad traveled too much in Georgia to believe on signs like that He was to take his wife to the grand opera that night, and if his train failed to reach Atlanta by eight o'clock there would be a broken heart A glance at his watch showed that iu two minutes the train would be due, and you may imagine his surprise aud delight to hear, just at that moment, a mullled whistle blast and see the trailing smoke around the long curve half a mile away. Several traveling men also boarded that train with happy heart", and the same joyful sur prise greeted them at every station. All the way up the air was filled with cheerful optimism, and as the traiu drew near Atlanta and the baggage agent was crying his stac cato message through the car, our business man made a palpable hit by proposing that they all chip in and present the conductor with a loving cup. In a few minutes there was a hat full of silver dollars, and the conductor had been sent for. In a neat speech onr friends ex pressed their appreciation of the wonderful record made by this train, aud asked that he would ac cept this oflerlue from group of gmieiui passengers, anu But the conductor, blushing and embarrassed, raised his hand in protest and stammered: "Gentlemen, this is awfully kind of you, but I can't think of accept ing it.

The couple were ruling lu the second car. At I'leasaiitville Mr. I-awrenee opened the wiudow at which they were sitting, because of the oppressiveness of the car. He was silting next the wiudow and he remetnltcrs nothing more until he found himself submerged in the car. licside him coated a red skirt, which he recognized as that worn by his wife. In vain he attempted to reach her. The rushing current lifted him bodily and shot him through the window to the surface of the water. Here he was picked up by some men in a rowboat who found him floating, Ketrainine' mnwinn-i lie fought to go back to the wreck to search for his wife, and he had to be held until in a quieter mo ment the situation was explained by friends.

An old colored woman, the mother of the drowned negro, was seen sit ting on the bank of the river weep ing as if ber heart would break, She was approached by a lady aud asked the cause of ber distress.
