DIXIE. There was a benefit performance for the Confederate Widows' -Home in Baltimore last week, and when "Dixie" and "My Maryland" were sung the shouts and applause shook the build ing. One might think it was a regular old rcel occasion, but when "The Star-Spar.gled Banner" was sung, the greeting of the old tune was just a; hearty as others, plainly showing that while old memories are still sacred, ltiyalty to the Hag is as strong and fer1 vid. We, up No:th here, cheer "Dixie" There is no prejudice against it because the boys in gray liked it so. The old memories of antagonism and strife have melted into a loyalty that is akin, to brotherhood. We used to think of the rcbs as foes, but that was a long time ago, and today we can sing "Dixie" with the best of them. No true patriot harbors resentments. Ohio State Journal.

Boston, May 28. Gov. Eugene N. I i f . .i rt ... r . i ross, wno leu ine Kcpuoiican lor tne Democratic Party largely on the tariff issue, acting for the B. F. Sturtcvant Company of Hyde Park, of which he is Treasurer, refused the demand of em ployees of that corporation for a 20 per cent increase in wages. As one of his reasons, he gave "the impending changes in the tariff policy of the na tional Government." The men have threatened to strike unless their demands were granted or were submitted to arbitration. The Governor, in a statement made no reference to any further discussion of the matter. Gov. Foss is financially interested dso in the Becher Milling Machine Company of Hyde Park, and in the Meade, Morrison Manufacturing Com pany, Cambridge, of both of which firms he is President. International officers of metal trade inions have announced that a strike in iny one of these plants would be fol lowed by a general strike in all three slants, involving more than 1,500 men. "If the Sturtcvant Company's opcra ives insist upon an increase at this lime, then the company will be loath to fill their places by imported labor, the only other expedient being that the works must be closed," the Governor says. In explanation of the refusal of the men's demands, the Governor's state ment says: "To increase wages in compliance with the demand would necessitate operating the plant at a loss. The re quest comes at a peculiarly inopportune time, when the industries of the country are seeking to adjust themselves to the impending changes in the tariff policy of the national Govermest." 'RAGS" ARE OBNOXIOUS Visitor Comments On Awnings On Federal Building. A gentleman who travels extensively over this part of the State spent yes terday at one of the local hotels. Hav ing occasion to pay a visit to the post- office he asked the clerk for information as to how he would find that structure. Having received the desired informa tion the visitor sallied forth in search of "Uncle Sam's" local home. Arriving in front of the Journal office the stranger took a good look at the Federal building and then asked a reporter, who was standing near at the time, il the structure just across the srtect was the postoffice. . After being informed that such was the case, the gentleman said; "Well, unless I had been told that such was it, I would never believe that yonder building was under the control of the govern ment" Then pointing to the shreds hanging above the windows in the mag nificicnt brick structure the speaker c-nt'nucd: "See those rags? Iwolln't let strings like that hang out of my barn windows and yet the government al lows its otherwise magnificent building in the Athens of North Carolina to flaunt such signs of neglect as those in the faces of its citizens and visitors." The comment of this gentleman in regard to the "rags" hanging from the windows in the Federal building is not the first that has been heard. Other wise this structure is a credit to the city but the appearance of a number of dilapidated awnings flapping in the breeze from such a structure detracts materially from its appearance. HER YESTERDAY FSS DECLINES RAISE WAGE GRADUATES FROM A: &. AD; COLLEGE Young Man Who Will Be With Farm Life School Re ceives Honors ONE OF THE FOUR ORATORS W1U Arrive In New Bern And Take Up His Work During Latter Part Of August. An mong the sixty-six young men who graduated from the North Caro lina Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege Tuesday was Harvey Langhill Joslyn of Buncombe county. Mr. Joslyn graduated from the departmnet of Science in Agriculture and was one of the four young men chosen as orators for the occasion. Mr. Joslyn has been chosen to take charge of the Department of Agriculture in Craven county's Farm Life School and will arrive here during the latter part of August to make preparations for beginning his work. Mr. Joslyn's oration was delivered on Tucdsay morning and proved in tensely interesting and instructive. The Raleigh News & Observer has the following account of it: "The subject of the second speaker, Mr. H. L. Joslyn, who followed the cleverly done work of Mr. Hewitt, was "The Status of the Agricultural Laborer of the United States." , "Mr. Joslyn began with that period of the nation when a large working population was slave to this country in pretty nearly the same degree of servitude that the nation has been slave to it. "He related the first periods, "the in dentured servants,' as he called them, those who bound themselves for a specified time in return for their pas sage to America. They became land owners when land was cheap ami la bor high. "The next was the African slave period beginning with 1619. He gave that rather unple.isnat history and catnc into the more modern age. 'In 1850 the surplus from one family of farmers was sufficient to maintain two-thirds of a non-agricultural fam ily,' he said. 'In the half of the cen tury between 1850 and 1900, the in crease of productivity was far more strikingly shown than in any. previous half-century. It is estimated that agricultural workers increased 2.44 times their number in fifty years, while their principal products in creased 5.1 times. This increase in productivity was needed to meet the demands of the urban and non-agricultural families which had increased from 4 per cent in 1800 to 33.1 in 1900.' "Mr. Joslyn gave some striking changes in the farming conditions since 1865. In 1850 there were 376 of every 1,000 mates above 15 years of age engaged in agricultural pur suits were farm owners, wile only 28 were tenants and the remainder la borers. In 1900 for every 1,000 males over 15 years, 417 farm-owners are found and 227 were tenants. This Sold Under Our and the Factory's Guarante.

"He looked back a second, histori cally, when farming wasn't perhaps the highest form of activity. He looked ahead an eternity and saw not "The Man With the Hoc" bowed by the weight of the centuries. " 'No, not this,' he said, 'but with shoulders squared and head erect, abounding health and intelligence beaming in his countenance, we shall see the laborer of the future as the" man with the plow," one of God's own creatures.' " Fine of voice and easy, this young man made a splendid impression and the judges had to take his name down." V G. .
