Grand ma gives him '-yartutea" and par egoric, yet, in spite of all the dos ing be gets, he frequently persists in dinging to life. From the infant stage he enters that of "the whining school boy, with his satchel and shining morn ing face, creeping like "snail uu willingly to school," Here a new eries of perils beset him, for he learns to play baseball and foot ball. If he escapes the former with bo greatee misfortune than a few broken fingeis, he stands a good (banco to be permanently disabled by the latter, if indeed he does not lose his life. Then he has to run the gauntlet of a hazing experience when he enters college, again en dangering lifepor limb. 'J After running all the risks of in fancy and childhood, if he eats too much mince moat, raw oysters or some other abomination, and takes a severe pain in his abdomen, the diagnosis rendered is that it is a bad case of appendicitis, and he lanst be carved open instanter or furnish a job lor the undertaker, ft be still has sufficient vitality eft to get upon his pins again, he is not yet through with his trou bles, for he is told that a newly discovered dispasi natlpd nelleerra has appeared in the therapeutic wmanent, and that corn bread is the father of it.

When I reflect upon whit the average American boy has to pass through, my heart is filled with pity for him. He had better been born an Eskimo and lived upon snow and seal Aesh in a hut built of ice, than to run the risk of so many fearful ailments that civilized life is heir to. !Nor is the American girl in any better fix than her brother. She is li able to all the infai tile ailments that Hp a wait for the boy. She escap the perils of baseba1!, foot ball, cannon firecrackers and haz ing, but the tremendonsly big hats she wears and tight squeezing of corsets, to which fashionable so .ety make her a martyr, offset her brother's troubles. While he eats raw oysters and drinks high balls, she eats ice cream and pie and sips soda water or other use less liquids. She has the same chance to attract hookworms as he has, provided, as a child, she goes barefoot in summer. If she is ad dicted to the corn bread habit, pellegra may bear her body to the silent tomb upon just as short a notice as it docs the boy. There is no escape for either. To cap the climax, she may set her own cap in vain for the young man she loves or live an old maid. Should she escape the life of sin gle lonelii,es, she may have the worst misfortune of being cajoled into marrying an American dude or a foreign count, neither of whom will ever count for much in the battle of life. . From almost any viewpoint we may take of it, lite is beset with" perils from the cradel to the grave. Many, if not most, of the so-called accidents and misfortunes of ex is tence are the result of our own carelessness, viciousness or stub- borness. But for our innate stu pidity we would acquire much wisdom from observing the errors of others and avoiding them. As a matter of fact, however, we learn comparatively little from observa tion --far less than we should. As costly as the school of experience is, the large majority of mankind acquire most of life's lessons there in. Every individual almost must get up against the hard experi ences of life for himself before he really learns what they are. As boys we have listened to old sol diers relate their experiences of army life and its hardships, and have imagined that we understood all about it, when as a matter of fact we knew nothing; J-We had some vague, theoretical ideas oi war, such as are formed from read ing histories and looking at pic tures of battles, but nothing but the actual "experience of military life can fully acquaint one with the true meaning of war. Even Gen. Sherman's definition of it conveys but an imperfect meaning to us, It is the same way in the battle oi life. You may tell the little child that fire will burn, but he doesn't realize the fact until he has put his hand into it. You may tell the young man that glut tonry will give him indigestion, and tell the joung woman that right 8'ioes and other tight appli ances will injure her feet and her health, but only about owe in ; a thousand will have the wisdom to take your warning and advice 'Truly, it is a pity we do not learn more fiom onr orn observa tion and the experiences of others than we do; but we just- somehow don't do it.

Mr. Sellers gathered thirty bales of - cotton off thirtv acres. He says had the season been favorable and had it .been a fall crop he would have made a bale and a half to the acre! Over and above all expenses, Mr. Sel lers cleared 11,000 from his cotton crop, In addition to this he made 700 bushels of corn! He makes all his own supplies and buys nothing on his farm. He never sells cot ton and spends the money to buy corn, meat and flour and other supplies. Mr. Sellers tells The Express that he can raise cotton at a cost of 4 cents per pound and corn at 12 cants per bushel. He! nnderstands-how to cultivate the) soil and secure the best results with a small amount of labor. Mr. Sellers makes a stndy of his buei nessjustas the professional man studies his profession. We would like to see more farmers like Mr. Sellerf come to Lee county. San ford Express. Oh, You Politician. "The politician is my shepherd, I shall not want for anything during the campaign."

Yea, even I walk through" the mud and rain to vote for him, and shout myjelf hoarse at the election, he straightway forgetteth me. Altho I meet him at his own house he knoweth me not.

While a vast majority even of tne well-to-do farmers of the coun ty have disposed of practically ah of their cotton this ieason at the flattering prices of the past, there is one buccessful planter near Hun tersville, Mr. John W. Cross, who has still in his possession 125 bales of cotton, together with the seed from that number of bales. If Mr. Cross were to sell his holdings today at 16 cents a pound for his cotton and 50 cents a bushel lor his seed, he would receive for his cotton $10,000 and for his seed $1,875. But he has not jet been tempted by the seductive prices which these., markets have been flashing across his vision and is still holding on to the faith that the future will show him some thing better. . Mr. Cross is the representative of a class of Mecklenburg farmers who have made money on their crops, who have followed advanc ed methods of fertilization and' cul tivation, and who are enriching themselves year after year in ad dition to securing that peculiar enjoyment which abounds - in the farm life. 13 your subscription to this pa per running out?
