sUi tared at the Post ofllce at New Berne, N
as .econd-class matter.
Ths campaigners all seem to be
bent on canvassing the "West. We
think the speakers had better di
vide. " It will be a hard matter to
get a man from his farm in October,
when cotton is open, to hear a po
litical speech, and yet, judging from
the appointments made by the can
didates for Governor and Lieut.
Governor, it will bo October before
they reach the East.
The Henderson Gold leaf agrees
with the Star that a joint canvass
between York and Scales will
prove detrimental to the Democratic
party. Such an admission is neither
complimentary to the Democratic
canse nor to its standard bearer.
Past experience proves that the
party ' gained by a joint canvass,
and why not in the present cam
paign.

Does Farming Pay J r-
Although tlio, Atlanta Constitu
tion says "the farmers of the State
nave never been- more prosperous
since the war than they are to day,"
Commissioner Henderson and Ex
Commissioner Jones, of the State
Agricultural Department," assert
that farming in Georgia 'does not
pay, and give many reasons for this
assertion. Uf the views of Com
missioner Henderson, the Atlanta
correspondent : of the Savannah
Times says: My interview with
Hon. J. T. Henderson. CommiS'
sioner of, Agriculture, published in
the Daily Times of the 2d, was the
subject to-day of a vey decided
amount of adverse criticism by fre
quenters of the . capitol. ' The state
ment tnat "tnere is no money in
farming in Georgia," did not find a
lodgment in the minds ol anybody.
The Commissioner, so far as I could
ascertain, stands alone in his views
however, lor improvement of land
and tne metnod be suggested, lie is
in accord with the general "Verdict.
There is no question that much
Georgia land needs improvement,
and it would pe a nappy day 11 tue
entire farining population could be
brought to a realization of the fact.
I asked at the Comptroller General's
omce concerning the manner in
which the taxes are paid by the
farmers. One of Comptroller Gen
eral Wright's ablest seconds said:
"Out of seven hundred and filty
thousand dollars of taxes there are
only eight thousand insolvents. If
the farmers did not make anything
they could not pay their taxes so
readily. The dockets of therura
courts show few suits. If the farm'
ers were not getting along well the
situation would be dinercnt.
agree with thej Commissioner that
tnere is much need lor reform and
the plan he suggests is a 6imple
and practical ..one, but I do not
agree witn mm . that there is no
money in farming in Georgia,
Georgia soil is capable of being
brought to the highest state of cul
tivation. I saw gathered and helped
to weigh five bales of cotton in 1873,
all weighing over 500 pounds, that
the lion, jjee war then raised on an
acre of land in Jones county. ,.The
lightest bale weighed 515 pounds.
it yon want to know something
about farming,, in . Georgia, ask
young Jack Henderson, a nephew
of the Commissioner .He has done
well in vspite of numerous, misfor
tunes' for which the farm was ir
no ' way .'responsible.- He is
up by times, goes with, his men to
work, sees that his stock is fed,
locks up everything himself. He is
a husbandman. He lives in 250
yards of Alcovy river, and I'll bet
he hasn't wet . a fish hook in ten
years. I knowJ several prominent
and successfur.formers' whorl be

- " la His Same. .
In 1864 some wounded soldiers
ay in a farm house in the Shenan
doah Valley.- Mrs. B . ,the
mother of one of them, the wife of a
neighboring planter, rode ten miles
very day to see ner boy, bringing
with ber such little comforts as she
could obtain. Her house was burned,
and the plantation was in ruins,
trampled down by the army.- - One
day, she carried to him a pipkin of
beef tea. -Every drop was precious,
for it was with great difficulty, and
at a high price.1 that, she had ob
tained, the oee Jfom .wnicn 15 was
made. '. "V. ; ,. ; r.w . r: --:
As she sat watching her boy sip
the steaming, savory broth, her eye
caught the eager, hungry eye of a
man on, tne next cot., - , :,. , .
She turned away , with a quick,
savage pleasnre in his want. He
was a 1 anteer perhaps one of the
very band who had, burned her
home.'" 5 .7 ;. ,: :. ,, :. i
She' was a bitter Secessionist.
But She was also a noble-hearted
woman, and a servant of Christ.
Her eye stole back to the pale,
sunken face. ' and . she remembered
the words or , her; Master, "If thine
enemy thirst, give-him drink."
After a moment's pause, and with
pressed lips, for it required all the
moral force she could command lor
her to do it, she filled a bowl with
the broth, and put it to his lips, re
peatmg to herself the words, i "Jbor
His sake; for His sake; for His sake
J do it."
Then she . brought fresh water
and bathed the soldier's face and
hands as gently as if he too had
been her son. The next day, when
she returned, he was gone, having
been exchanged to the .North.
Last winter, the son of a Senator
from one of the Northern States
brought home, during the Christ
mas vacation, as his chum, a young
engineer from Virginia, lie was
the only living son of Mrs. B. ,
the boy whom she had nursed hav
ing been killed during the later
years of the war.
She had struggled for years to
educate this boy as a civil engineer,
and had done it. But without in
fluence he could not obtain a po
sition, and was now supporting
himself by copying.
Senator Blank became much m
terested in the young Virginian, in
quired into his qualifications, and
after he had returned home used
his influence to procure an appoint
ment for him as chief of the staff of
engineers employed to construct an
important railway. It would yield
him a good income for many years.
Senator Blank enclosed the ap
pointment in one to Mrs. B- :, re
minding her of. the farm house on
the Shenandoah, adding, "The
wounded m an with whom you shared
that bowl ot broth has long wished
to : thank you for it. Now he has
done it."
The Divine principle embodied
in the act of the true-hearted South
ern mother was never better exem
plified, and the fruits of it, like
uuuw vi crcij uucuicubo ui viTiuo
law, were a natural result, as well
as the fulfillment of the promise
that bread cast upon the waters
shall be found after many days. I
