f APPEAL TO FARMERS
T« SUad If lie SMrtkern
(MM kmcnttm.
Governor' Terrell of Georgia
makea a atrong appeal In die Carm
en of the Sooth to stand by the
recommend-toots of the Southern
Cattan ftaaociatioa He nrgea
them In be tone la each other in
whnt he calls this evicts in their
aftin. Nov is offere' them the
opportunity to shake off the thral
dom of the Wall street and cotton
Mtefcaage speculators and to take
into their own handa the manage
ment of the cotton market He
endo'ses the work of that Asaocia
tion aad believes it will bear good
fruit Its iMCcew depends upon
the farmers themselves If they
will stick together they will win;
hot If each one tries to fool and to
get ahead ef his neighbors then
will all the work have been done
and a I the expense incurred in
vain. Governor Terrell, though,
believes the fanners will stand by
each Below we give ex
tracts letter which all
formers should rend.
Governor Terrell waa raised on a
form and is still a former. He has
several plantations, on every one
of which he will reduce the cotton
acreage twecty five per cent and
he also is holdi»g his cotton of the
present crop In his letter the
governor says:
"I have watched with great in
teraat the work of the Southern
Cotton Aaaociatkm. Its officers
and the officers of the various State
divisions have dooe a good work
in ao thoroughly organizing the
Southern Staiea. Truly the words
which appear on the official em
blem of the Aaaociation. 'ln unity
there shall be strength ' are very
appropriate. The time has come
for the people of the South to stand
together. They can now work out
their own aalration. Failure to
become nnited means failure. This
carries with it the absolute serfdom 1
of the Southern planter to Wall
street The South has never lost
anything by standing together. It
has never succeeded by drifting
apart Had it not been for the
dark days of the reconsrtuction the
manhood of the South would have
pasaed away with its property in
terests. The Southern planter needs
this same determined and united
strength in the present fight the
cotton growers are making against
the evil that is threatened in an
effort to control the product of
human labor by apecula'ion in
Wall street There eht.uld be no
laggards. Now ia the time to act
in order that the beat results may
be guaranteed. This is the plant
ing time, and it is incumbent upon
every former who loves his section,
and who feels the proper comxjh
Cor the weal of coming generations
to give the fullest play to unselfish
patriotism and cut down his indi
vidual crop in respect to the im
plied contract that the great class
of planters have made with each
other
"He should not only do this
himself, but he should urge his
croppers and his neighbors to fol
low his own example, honestly and
practically set, by reducing the cot
ton acreage twenty-five per cent
and fertilizers in the same ratio. ~ j
"Diversifications of crops to take
up the land not planted in cotton
and a greater effort than ever bo
fore to raise food supplies at home
will put the Southern States in bet
ter shape than eVer.
"I believe the people of the South
are thoroughly aroused on this
great qneatioo and that they ere
going to reduce their acreage, hold
what cotton they can for better
prices, and when next fall arrives,
1 believe the crop of cotton will be
much shorter than in years, and
that the price .will be much higher
than it ia to-day. "—Wilmington

WILLIAMSTON, N. C„ FRIDAY, APRIL 7,1905.
Man's Mission.
Every man has a mission in lilt.
Creation would be purposeless if
its highest and crowning consum-
mation—man —was left to wander
aimless and object ion less.
What matters it. if he is endow
ed with God-like qualities of intel
lect, a superb brain, a creative, ac
tive mind, an intelligence that can
grapple and overcome the potential
and hidden forces of nature, if all
these magnificent inheritances ate
only wasted and unutilised.
If the grave is the goal to which
all humanity tends, if life » to be
swallowed up in that all-embracing
vortex, then it matters little wheth
er our brief existence terminates
without the sensation of a strife or
passion or amidst the splendor? of
accomplishments and a name
synonymous with great deeds and
mighty achievements.
But the grave is not the goal of
the human race. Existence is not
the effervescent dream that flits
athwart the mind in the silent
watches of the night. It ia a most
wretched delusion that leads a man
to believe that after a misspent
life, where no promise met with
fair fulfilment, and every flower of
beauty and fragrance, ere it blos
somed in the sunlight, was choked
with the noxious weeds of passion-
and of vice, he could lay the gar
ments of his soul *into an earthlv
casket and say: "Here at last is
oblivion. In this grave are rest
and peace." Impotent delusion !
Vain hope! Boundless space,
boundless time, never ceasing and
eternal energy are some of nature's
conditions, and through its ever
changing forms it is still and for
aye never changing.—Frank. H.
Merick, Colorado.
What Our Schools Cost Us.
It is ptobably not generally
known that the United States
spends ann ially on elementary ed
ucation about $227,000,000 —the
exact figures for 1900 —1901 were,
according to the report of the
United States Commissioner of Ed
ucation , $216,043,236. Europe
spent during the same period ap
proximately $246,000,000. The
enrollment in the elemental
schools of Europe Is, however, in
the neighborhood of 45.000.000,
while in the United Slates it is not
much more than 16,000,000, al
though it ia estimated that there
were in 1901 almost 22,000,000
children of school-going age in
this country. Our yearly expendi
ture per pupil averages twenty
two dollars.
Some profit may be gained from
a comparison of the amounts spent
yearly by representative American
cities for the maintenance and op-
of their public schools.
New York spent in a single year
$'9>73i>639; Chicago follows with
in outlay of $8,204,493; Philadel
phia's expenditure was $3,319,604;
Boston's, $3,043,640; Baltimore's,
*M»7.39*; Cleveland's. $1,257.-
345; and Washington's $1,182,916.
New Orleans is at the end of the
list, with an expense of only $478,-
025. St. Louis, by the way, pays
more for its police department than
for its schools—sl,6o2,lß2 for the
former as against $1,526,140 for
the latter —a ratio of one dollar for
the police to ninety-five cents for
the schools.—Harper's Weekly.

HER ARMY WEAKENING.
Russia's Soldiers Refuse to to
to War—Prefer Death.
The latest and a very alarming
evidence of the fire that is smoul
dering beneath the surface in Rus
sia is the refusal of soldiers to go
to the war when drafted for that
service. At one point in the south
ern provinces forty refused to go.
The two ringleaders were shot and
the others have been sentenced to
eighteen years of penal servitude.
This is something new with the
Russian soldiers. Heretofore they
have alwavs obeyed such orders—
doggedly and unwillingly, it is true,
but they did not dare to refuse.
This shows that the Russian peas
ants, including the anMicrs, are
getting more desperate, and wAb
their desperation arc losing their
abject fear of the government and
its officials. The soldiers have a
dread of going to the seat of war,
though up to the present they have
not had the courage to resist their
officers or to refuse to obey the
orders to march, but now they do
both, knowing that it means death
br penal servitude. Their horror
of going to the war must be great
indeed to make them prefer the
other alternative. What can Rus
sia expect to gain by opposing
such soldiers to the enthusiastic
and patriotic Japanese, whose
greatest ambition is to die fighting
for their country ?
Russian officials believe the
safety of their empire lies in the
army. So far the anny has not
shown its ability to protect its
honor. The glamour of its might
is fast fading away before the on
slaughts of the despised little Taps.
Her soldiers prove no match for
them and her generals are ourwitt
ed at every turn.
Russia is beginning to learn that
she cannot depend on ner armies
to maintain her prestige abroad.The
next lesson she ia likely to learn
regarding them will, most probably
be that it is the soldiers who will
destroy that mighty fabric called
the empire of all the Russia* —
mighty in name and outward ap
pearauce only—under the founda
tions of which is a mine of the des
pots own making, which may be
exploded at any moment.
Became the peasantry and liber
ated serfs have been trodden down
and trampled into the dust without
resistance or show ot resentment for
so many years, their oppressors
have come to lielieve that there is
no ill treatment they will not sub
mit to. Some of them have sub
mitted to. such degredation for
such a length of time that they are
really but a few degrees alx>ve the
brutes and the wild animals of
their forests and steppes. They
do not resist. They show no re
sentment in the presence of officials
or of their superiors, but the re
sentment and the hatred is there,
and the power, too, to exercise
them, though it lies dormant, not
even recognized by those who pos
sesses it. But some day they wtll
awaken to its realization and a ter
rible awakening it will be. Once
let them realize their power and
throw off the abject fear of the
government which now holds them
down and there will lie a terrible
reckoning with their oppressors.
The leaders of the anarchists will
engineer this movement and the
instruments they will use to put it
in mqtion will lie the soldiers re
turned from the war in the east,
whether victorious or vanquished.
They will be ready and willing
tools in the hands of the plotters
who are scheming to tear down the
empire and to establish anarchy
and a reign of terror in its place.—

LEARN TO SAVE.
The Man Who Saves Is The
Successful One.
>
The first lesson a man is given
1 lo team when he enrolls in the
school which qualifies for success
> is to put by part of his salaty every
week The truest friend in times
, of adversity is the bank account
and the surest foundation upon
which to build a fortune is the ac
r-"ii*ted savings of months and
> awa, a reflex in its ac..» eifcifc
money itself is a valuable accesso
ry, and the quality of mind and
t character developed through this
habit makes for ultimate success.
The man who can civknly pass by
the tinsel and glitter of civilized
1 life, whose money is not drawn
from his pockets by every tinkling
sound, is a man who will have
small cause for complaint at the
> world's treatment He will de
velop beyond the influence of
, trifles.
A man put forty remarked. "If
I only had a little money I could
make a fortune out of this device."
"He was sadly mistaken,'' was the
comment of A. P. Monroe in a re
cent article. "The fact that he had
reached forty on a salaried posi
tion, without having saved money,
was proof positive that he had not
enough power of resistance suc
cessfully to handle any kind of an
enterprise. Sharper, shrewder peo
ple would get his money away
from him, just as they hai> been
getting it away from him for twen
ty years." When a man's ambi
tion is not a stronger force with
htm than theatres, cigars, fancy
ties, expensive boarding houses,
slot machines, and such agencies,
his life will be devoted to support
ing parasites.
A man who cannot withstand
trivial temptations to spend money
has not in him a stiff enough back
bone to make a success of any
venture. He could be turned aside
from' his undertaking by the first
bauble that caught his eye, like
some infant, enthralled with a toy
balloon. The cutes, soda foun
tains, the places of amusement, all
furnish temptation to a young man
to part with hi» money. If hi?
ideal, the purpose within him, is
not stronger than those outside in
ducements his salary will be fritted
away on unnecessary expenditures,
and his life will be a failure. It is
the order of mind such a course of
action indicates that spells failure,
not the mere fact of being without
money, though the possession of a
small sum of money has often
made ultimate success possible.—

A Wife and a Cow.
The illustrious General K. K.
Lee, in his advice to his children,
said to his bavs: "If you want to
be missed to society, be useful;
patch up the old house and keep
out of debt; marry a sweet woman.
Let her bring a cow and a churn;
they will be all you want in start
ing a happy, useful life. Read,
improve the mind; read history,
works of truth, but never read
novels. Follow simplicity of dress;
it is not becoming in a Virginia
girl to be fashionable. A farmer's
life is one of labor, but it is also
one of pleasure." The young man,
who predicates his acts and life on
the grand principles above marked
out by the illustrious General Lee
will be a success in this world. —
