"The country editor who wanted to attend the Press Association and

This is the season for excursions. Along the main lines of railroads al
most every day excursions are run mainlj from the hill country to the wa-
. ter. Howeverj the direction changes occasional-
Excursions Galore. , x , ,. A
ly. An excursion was run from Bertie and
Northampton to Raleigh some daj'8 ago, and another scheduled from Dare
county to Raleigh. This is said to be the first ever run from that part of
the State to Raleigh. Last week several excursion were run into Norfolk
in one day. While some excursions are not particularly desirable because
they are so crowded, and now and then some fellow makes the occasion un
pleasant by getting drank and becoming disorderly, still such occasions
furnish many the opportunity to visit a city or large town at a very small
cost when perhaps they could not afford a trip at regular rates. The
trouble about excursions is that being out of schedule time there is more
danger of collisions and mishaps than on regular runs by regular schedule.
While we do not have much desire to go on excursions, we can see how -they
are attractive to many people. Great care should be exercised, how
ever, hi guarding against accidents, and those who run excursions should
rigidly keep down all rowdyism
WW
Quite naturally we baye been reading what the editors have had to say
about the meeting at Morehead two weeKs ago. Rev. J. O. Atkinson, of
the Christian Sun, published at Elon College,
High Estimate of North among otQer things said :
Carolina Editors. ,The Qne noie oI tfae editor9j 80Unded most
often among one another last week wa : Be a man, have sand ; let cour
age rule and truth come,' whatever be the cost or consequence. If you
cannot find the truth and tell it, lay down your pen and quit the newspa
per business. If you have not the courage of your convictions, you'd better
join some other'profession. Dare to stand up and proclaimthe eternal veri
ties if it costs you a hundred subscribers a whack. Who fawns should go
with his folly and leave the editor's chair forthwith. Take your orders
from no man ; dare to think some on your own account, have an idea to
your credit and tell the world of it as a part of your duty, obligation and re
sponsibility. Don't shirk ; don't squeal ; don't swallow greased bate. Have
regard for the feelings of others ; stab no man in the back ; sting no man
for the sake of the writhing, for the man who pours bitterness and dregs
into the cup of human experience is not worthy to wield an editor's pen.
Charity as well as courage, fraternity as well as fearlessness are among the
noble virtues. Such the strain, such the burden of public utterance and
private counsel among the editors at Morehead last week. There is cer
tainly no fault to be found with their ideal. We do not belieye there is a
coward in the lot. They do not look it ; they meet you with open face and
frank speech. They are afraid to be cowards, afraid they will lose their
standing in the fraternity and their prestige in the profession."

Perhaps no field of human endeavor in the South has made greater im
provement during the past decade than agriculture. We believe this is
especially true in North Carolina. New and im
ChangS in Agriculture, proved and intelligent methods hav been adopt
ed and farmers are coming to learn the folly of cultivating land which will
not produce anything. Formerly it was not an uncommon thing to see
great areas of poor land which would not much more than "make seed,"
cultivated year after year with no visible change except the land became
poorer and poorer eyery year. During the past few years farmers have
changed their methods and now for the most part they try to have all their
lands manured or fertilized so that every acre will produce something.
While there is vet room for much improvement in this particular, the
present plan of work is hopeful and encouraging. Mr. N. Biggs of Scot,
land Neck, some years ago commenced to fertilize heayily a three-acre lot
f Knttom land on the surburbsol the town and has been successful in
Kcn. u to verv hiah state of cultivation. He makes twenty-five bar-
rels to the acre and plants a very prolific kind of corn. A few years ago he
commenced to adyertise his corn and people throughout tn. .
bought seed corn from him In liberal quantities. Besides improving their
variety of corn, the farmers who have bought seed corn from Mr. Biggs
h.ve learned the value of heavy manuring. Naturally when they buy his
corn which makes for him tweoty-nye barrels to the acre, they try to make
as large yield as they can and so manure or fertilize with that end in view.
This has shown them the wisdom of heavy manuring, and so Mr. Biggs has
done good in his example as well as improved the variety of corn. Nothing
M farmer so well as high manuring and proper cultivation.

PATTI AND HEB PAY.
Mme. Patti always insisted on hav
ing her fee for singing in her hand be
fore she would sing a note. Mapleson,
the famous Impresario, old the follow
ing anecdote illustrative of this side ot
the cantatrite's character :
'I was bound by my contract tn pay
to her before the beginning of each
performanee the sum of $200. One
evening I could only give her $160,
which she refused to accept. Her
agent announced to me that since I
had failed to keep the contr,- et it would
be annulled. I comforted myself with
the thought that I had other resources
and besides had f 10 in my pocket.
"Two hours later the agbnt waited
on me to say that on reflection Mme.
Patti would! not break the contract.
He was empowered to accept the $160
and to say that Mme. Patti would be
on hand in time for the performance,
La Traviaiai' iti foil costume, except
her shoes. As soon as the doors were
opened and tickets enough were sold I
could pay the remainder ot the money.
As soon as she had it in her-band she
would draw on the shoes and step' on
ths stage when her Cue was given.
'I gave him the $1G0. After the
box offices were opened he came again.
Only $32 had been taken in. This I
gaye to him to hand to the prima don
na, hoping.tbat She would feel justi
fied in giving the word to begin the
performance without waiting for the re
maining $8. Bat this expectation was
only partly fulfilled. With a content
ed expression on his face, the agent
came back the third time with the
comforting rhessage' that madam hat!
put on one shoe.; 'When yon show her
the remaining $8 she will put on the
other shoe. And so she did when I
handed her that amount. Then, beam
ing with pleasure, she stepped on the
the stage, and the opera was most
brilliantly sung."
Lessons From Japan.
Collier'i.
All of us can learn our own private
lessons from the flood of information
about the Orient which is being poured
in upon us since the war began Or,
if we cannot exactly learn our lessons,
we can get new lights with which to
puzzle ourselves. Most Americans
past youth have some digestiye trouble
to occupy a portion of their thoughts.
Constantly food is a topic of absorbing
interest. Big meals and little meals,
few meats and many meals, are advised,
and just now elaborate chewing of lim
ited material is a gospel. On the topic
of water, which has been prominent in
this country, and on the topic of meat,
the Japanese contribntions are of in
terest. As the Japanese are now ad
mitted to be among the healthiest and
strongest people, we naturally become
attentive to their habits. The com
mon people eat little save steamed or
boiled rice, and the richer eat rice, fish,
eggs, vegetables and fruit. Little meat
la eaten and few stimulants need save
weak' tea. The average Japanese is
said to drink a gallon of water daily.
We cannot take the habits of one ell
mate without modification as suitable
to another, but on some points the
Japanese practice what our doctors
preach. They put great stress, for in
stance, on the deep breathing of fresh
air, and such breathing is a pait of
their ordinary training. They give
miirh attention to exercise. OI the
diet part oi their regimen It may be
true that it strengthens them rather by
avoiding errors than by its superiority
to meat. It is simple and regular,
Eating is not treated as an amusement
Cooking is not based upon the desire
to divert the palate. Rules ot hygiene
seem to be actually acceptable to the
Japanese, and this difference oi spirit
in carrying out the rules of health is,
we imagine, greater than any differ
ence of opinion among medical men in
the two countries about what is best.
The Japanese have no symptoms of de
generacy. The way they go to work
to mane themselves physically effect
ive is somewhat reminiscent of the an
cient Spartans. Will thy 1 able to
eat and drink only to live, alter they
have been long in contact with the
West and have become a great manu
facturing nation, with vast private for
tunes? Luxury is a habit that is easily
acquired.

all the best work of the world is being
carried on by young men. "A coterie
of elderly Senators," said Mr. Depew,
in conjunction with the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, who is
of their period, are the real rulers of
our RepHblic. Roberts, in his seyen-
tieth year, conducted the South Afri
can campaign and retrieved, as far as
possible, the blunders of the junior3,
while in another fphere Commodore
Vanderbilt, who up to the age of seventy-one,
had accumulated $17,000,

seyenty-one to eighty-three." No bet

have been afforded in support of this
same contention than the presence of
Senator Depew himself, and to whom
the years seem to bring no change nor
any diminution of activity in many
fields of thought and effort. These
