Changes In an English School.

In 1924 Mr.. Milnes Gaskell writes
from Eton that an upper boy "got spurs
and rode some of us dover boys) over q
leap positively impossible to be leaped
over with q person on your back, and
every time (Which is every time) we can
not accomplish it he spurs us violently,
and my thigh is quite sore with the in
roads made by those dreadful spurs; my
new coat is completely ruined" In the
next year Ashley minor, a son of Lord
Shaftesbury, died in consequence of a
fight which lasted two hours and a quar-
ter on the same evening. The quarrel
originated about seat in the upper
school.
DR.. Keate spoke about the sad event
to the school three days later; he blamed
the boys for letting the fight go on 80
long, but was not to be "seduced into
any namby pamby peace-at-any price
sentimentalism." He said: "Not that l
object to all fighting in itself; on the
contrary, l like to see a boy return q
blow" Such state Of things has for
tunately entirely disappeared; a clergy
man, head master, a doctor of divini-
ty, however much he might feel that the
meek acceptance of injuries was not the
sign of keen and generous character,
yet would now hesitate to mark fighting
with his approval before an audience Of
boys whom he was bound by statute to
instruct in Christian principles.-Na-
tional Review.

Why is it so many women delight in
gossip, in relating choice bits Of scandal,
and limiting knowingly about the short
comings of their acquaintances? Simply
because there is nothing else in the
uncultivated convolutions OF their
brains. Educated women--women who
delight in good literature, who devote
part Of their leisure to the perusal of
books and periodicals which elevate
their thoughts above the petty gossip
of the neighborhood, can find little
entertainment in tearing reputation to
tatters. rs.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

One of the essential factors in making
asuccess OF this life is earnestness. That
which does the work is not simply the
piston in the engine, or the shot in the
gun, or the arrow on the bow-string.
1t is the steam behind the piston the
explosive back of the shot, the muscle
In the rear of the arrow. 1t is not
enough TO possess ability. There
must be enthusiastic desire to set your
powers in motion. A mans ability may
be great, and yet II their is not the
earnest, longing ambition to act in the
living present, it will be useless to him.
Because you cannot weld as great
influence and be as useful as other men,
do not sit down and fold your arms and
say because / cannot do great things |
will simply be a drone in the hive of
human possibilities. A ''dinkyr engine
might refuse TO do its work because it
is not as powerful as one of the great
engines that speed along with long
train OF cars, and yet the ''dinky" is
appreciated forthe work it dose. So is
everyone that meets the responsibilities
of lite with an earnest desire to sur
mount all obstacles. Therefore, what
over may be your sphere in life, be in
earnest. An amiable desire must be
heated up into flaming necessity.

Not a Nourishing Diet.

An old Scotch servant attached to
the household of the famous British
logician, Sir William Hamilton, was as
proud Of his masters fame as if it had
been his own, and, having picked up a
few Of Sir Williams technical words
and phrases, brought them into play ON
every possible occasion.
One day gentleman who was fond
Of drawing out old John for the amuse-
ment of the company said to him, with
an engaging air:
81 suppose, John, now that you've
lived so long with such great reasoner
as Sir William, you are quite able to
conduct an argument yourselfp"
"Weel, I Wilma say sac muckle as
that" replied the old Scotchman, with
the modesty Of true genius, "but IL
Gamma conduct an airgyment, I'm think
in could draw an inference"
Gould You? Let us see, then? There's
an Eastern proverb, You know, about
the wild ass snuffing up the east wind.
Now what inference would you draw
from thatY'
For moment old John looked nom
plussed, as well he might, and then a
gleam Of sly humor twinkled in the cor
ner of his dark gray eye, and he an
swered, with grim chuckle:
"Aweel, the inference that l wad
draw from that wad be that he might
snuff lang time before he grew fatr'--

ern planter has found money in other
crops than cotton. AS this great
industry of truck growing increases it
will still detract from cotton growing,
for one must confess that cotton suffers
terribly when compared with the
money to be made out of vegetables
and fruits. And trucking in the
South is yet in its infancy. Only the
South Atlantic Seaboard has caught
on to the money to be made. The
great Mississippi Valley will. in few
years, become one vast garden which
will supply Chicago and the great
cities Of the Northwest with all early
vegetables and fruits. When that day
comes the trucking business in the
South will cut a still larger swath in
the cotton growing belt. In the mean
time it is safe to say that the South is
not likely to ever see such large crops
of cotton as she has in the past, for her
people have found profit in other
industries which are yielding better
returns.

MONEY IN TOBACCO.
Rocky Mount ArgOnaut.1


In an address delivered some years
ago by Col. w. H. S. Burgwyn of
Henderson, now president of the
State Tobacco Association, we find
the following instances cited of heavy
yields in tobacco growing:
1t is not an impossible thing tor
man from one years crop of tobacco,
raised on a few acres, to pay for a
good sized farm. Instances: w. L.,
of Guilford county, in 1883, bought
800 acres of land for 81, 900. The
first year he cut from three acres
$500 worth of cord wood, and on the
same three acres raised a crop of
tobacco from which he received S54S.
The second year from three acres he
raised crop for which he received
SI,IoS. W. R. w., Of Warren county,
in 1882, bought 900, acres OF land at
s1,5oo: Fog a crop raised off of it
in 1884 he was paid $1,000. E. G..
B., of Vance county, in 1875, bought
ten acres adjoining the incorporate
limits Of Henderson, paying tor the
same about $40 per acre. It 1884 he
rented out said land for half the crop.
and his part realized him 5000 per
acre-a rental fifteen times more than
the land cost him and the crop from
these ten acres sold for 5000. F. W.,
of the same county, in 1884 purchased
fifty-two acres for $500. Last year
lie planted five acres in tobacco. He
sold this crop for $4,000. He had
2,355 plants. or hills, which realized
him over IL cents per plant. For
part Of this tobacco he received 81 per
pouad and the entire crop averaged
him fifty-hve cents per pound. 1t cost
him to make this tobacco not over
s3oo-about seven cents per pound.
His profit was S2,2oo from five acres,
that cost him in 1884, about $40 Der
acre. In 1884 P. w. bought a far
mer's growing crop on six acres for
$500. The purchaser cured the same
at a merely nominal cost, and sold it
on the warehouse floor for s1,7aS.
The second purchaser priced the same,

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
WHAT 1T IS DOING FOR THE
SOUTH.
The Importance Of the Trucking
interests and the Money
There is in it-A Fertile
Field Opened Up to
Our Farmers.
Winston Tobacco Journal. |

The shortage in this years cotton
crop, SO far as acreage is concerned,
shows what that section is doing in the
way of diversified farming. The
acreage in cotton is reduced from Is
to 20 per cent. and this shortage is
made up of other crops, most of which
are far more profitable than cotton.
Along the South Atlantic coast,
which few years ago knew nothing
but cotton growing, there is one con-
tjnuous truck garden, stretching from
Norfolk to Mobile Few people
know the value of this trucking in
dustry to our Southern planters. Last
year over S5,ooo,ooo worth of vege-
tables, etc, were shipped from the
vicinity of Norfolk alone and fhc
estimated value of the entire truck
crop in the South was S5o,ooo,ooo
To-day Norfolk, Newberne, Will
mlngton, Charleston, Savannah, Jack
sonville and a number of intermediate
places are great Centers around which
grow millions of dollars worth of early
vegetables annually and which a
few years back knew nothing but cot
ton.
With its mild climate and conse-
quent early vegetables the South is
rapidly becoming the market garden
for the North and Northwest. The
truckers of New Jersey and other here
tofore favored localities see their occu-
patton fading away and are seeking
lands in the Sunny South. Before
their early vegetables are half grown,
great steamer loads of matured-truck
from the South are unloading at the
plers in New York and Boston. In
every branch of trucking industry the
South is clearly in the lead.
The growing of small fruits, mel
ons, peaches, pears, ETC., is also at
tracing much attention in the South.
Our early strawberries are the finest in
the Northern markets and bring the
highest prices. Whole train loads are
rushed through on express time and
sent back to the South, big money for
the grower. The Georgia peach and
pear crops are sending wealth into the
pockets of her farmers. And then the
watermelon crop of the South, which
five years ago amounted to nothing is
now a great business. Last year
Georgia alone shipped 10000 car
loads of juicy melons North, while
South Carolina did almost as we'll. 1t
is not difficult to see the money which
this crop alone is putting in the South.
F1orida's annual orange crop of 4, $1,000.
900 boxes is not among the smallest
of Southern industry.
So glance at the trucking. fruit
growing and melon crops of the South
