NO MONEY IN FARMING.
A Business Man Says Even With Slave
Labor Farms Never Made Money.

n buAluG86 BA&0 says l1Ftn WIN Si0NO
Labor Farms Never Made Money.
From the Athens tGa.) Banner Watchmdn.
''Fhere is no money in farming in the
SOUTH" remarked a gentleman to us the
other day, ''and this is the reason that our
planters are so badly off. In the days of
slavery, when farmers could control their
labor, and only had to pay feed and
clothes, not one in hundred made dol
lar clear from their plantations, and their
profits were in the increase of negroes.
If they could get the land to
feed the slaves the master was
well satisfied. WHAT, then, can we ex-
pect when we must depend on thrift
less labor, that is idle nalf of its time,
and paying eachShand from $75 to 500
year besides? The lands of the South are
fast passing into the hands of Northern
capitalists, and the day Is not far distant
when our farmers will be renting them at
so much per acre. 1t is fast coming to
this, but our farmers don't seem to see it.
The only salvation left for them is TO re-
deem farms and do their own work.
There is no money in hired labor. IT
some change is not made in our system
of agriculture, the South will soon become
to the North what Ireland is to England.

From the BrasRsl0ick (Ga.) Bresse.
Yesterday evening a comfcsl scene took
place on New Castle street, near the city
hall. About 10 colored men were leaning
on the railing of the bridge that crosses
the streets there; and the railing being a
llJtle shaky, one OF the flock elevated HIM
self and said, "YOu folks better not lean
80 nebily on de-" Crash Splash The
tide was about half up, and the spokes-
man of the party was the only one who
fell in. The crowd enjoyed the fun a few
minutes, then assisted their plighted
brother out Of the water, not until he had
drank about half gallon OF the salty
stuff, however, which he squirted out Of
his mouth something like whale spout
ing. When he reached terra frm.a he
shook himself like a Newfoundland, and
said, 81 tOle you not ter lean yer vile

We are indebted to Mr.. l.. d. Whit
aker, son OF DIR. A. s. Whitaker, OF Pal
metto, for neat pamphlet of the Balti-
more and Ohio, and Staten Island Rapid
Transit railroad. Also a copy of the
"Toasts and Responses at the Staten
Island banquet. Mr.. L. d. Whitaker is
connected with the chief engineers office
Of the Philadelphia branch of the Balti-
more and OHIO railroad, one M the
Oldest and most prosperous roads OF the
country. He is native OF Georgia,
and has risen to his present position by
dint OF hard study and close application.
In 1915, while on the farm, his father
bought manual of stenOgraphy, and by
his own efforts he attained such prof.
cieney as to be able to report speeches
and sermons with great accuracy in a
short time. He succeeded in learning
telegraphy also without instructions,
except such as he obtained from books
and an office instrument. In January,
1888, he accepted a position in Maj.
Breckinridge's Office of the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad at Tuscaloosa.
Alabama. While there he rendered such
efficient service that his name became
conspicuous in railroad circles. He was
recommended to the chief engineer Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, who offered
him position in his Office at a handsome
salary. He is still with this company,
and has established himself as a young
man OF business capacity and sterling in
tegrity. BY his own indOmitable will and
energy he has won his way from the plow
to an important and responsible position.

A Curious Stone.
FROM he BIu9ton IGa.l aDrino

From tAe BlHgtoa ,Gd.l SDrino.
Judge Phil Tinsley showed us a curious
stone the other day, which he calls
beazle or cud stone. His father took It
from the stomach Of beef many years
ago, before the Judge was born, ana it
has been IN mis- possession thirty-six years.
IL resembles the "mad stOne," and the
only difference is that one came from the
stomach Of a beef and the other is found
in the stomach OF a deer, and, while he
has never tested it, the Judge thinks it not
unreasonable TO suppose that IL has some
OF the wonderful healing powers Of the
mad stone. He claims other virtues for
it, however, for which he is now using it.
He says it beats rabbit foot long ways.

DIRECTIONS FOR TEACHING A HORSE
TO ARCH HIS NECK.

Ten Little Toes-A Mean Thing to Do.
How to Give u Horse . Soft Mouth
"Patroclus The Croupade-A Five
Mile Gate.
A writer in Harper's Young People has
been giving some clever lessons in horseback
riding. IL a late one he tells the boys howl to
form a horses mouth so that it viii always
respond lightly and easily to the riders touch.
A girl can do it Just as well as . boy. A
horse, he says, should never be hard
mouthed. It is q vicious habit But he
bids the young people remember, Ut the same
time. that unless your seat IS 50 firm that
your hands are light YOU can never give a
horse a soft mouth
The writer takes an imaginary horse called
Don" and begins his directions by saying:
Suppose now you stand at DorNs near
shoulder, and taking hold Of the curb reins at
the withers, give a steady, gentle pull. Don
may attempt to back, but you must check
this inclination with the voice The pressure
Of the curb chain will soon make him bring
down his head, open his mouth, and arch his
neck. As soon as he does this, pat and cares
him, and in a second or two release the rein
and let him have his head a moment To rest.
Try the same thing again and again, very
gradually keeping the neck arched a bit
longer each time, but never so long as TO
tempt him TO resist, which he will do by
pulling on the bit, or throwing up his head,
or backing.
