') ' -s PAGE TWO - ? ROCKINGHAM POST-DISPATCH, RICHMOND COUNTY, N, C. The musicai comedy, "Pretty Baby," was given in the Opera House at Rockingham last Satur urday night to an appreciative audience. The chorus is not large about 12 girls, but they made up in the attractiveness of their costumes what they lacked in numbers. On the whole, it was a creditable performance.

How can a man pay his help when his crop goes to waste, and how can a man save his crop when his help is taken from him ? We country people love our children just as much as any other class of peo ple and ,v we want them to go to school all ' they can, too. But there is something to be done on a farm besides play. I hear some one say "hb wife can help."; True,1 she helps, but then we country) folks are not made of iron. ' The women help all they cany what with cooking, milking, churning, sewing, keep ing house, tending to the infant children, working the garden and doing hundreds of odd jobs; so she hasn't much time fcr crop work. 'V Do yoti gentlemen wish us to make debts with you, and when gathering time comes take the children away to school, so we can but helf gather the crops? The new school law will do for town and mill people, but it will not do for country folks. You know we scarcely' ever finish picking cotton until the last of December, and there are not enough grown people to gather same unless the town people will come out and help and in this way take the children's places. You say this' is a' free country, but what is it doing now but go ing right under a king inch by inch ? Now don't misunderstand and think I object to education I do not ; I believe in it as much as anyone, but I say poor farm ers can't do as they wish every time. ; ".; 1 . A Mother. .
