UNEQUAL VOTING.

In this country universal suffrage
is fact, but nevertheless something
of an experiment. In Belgium it is
also an experiment. Ii We consider
their idea we may come TO the con-
clusion that Belgium will be safer
under the new conditions than she
would be if she followed the Ameri-
can idea. Under our system the
vicious man and the indolent pauper
has the same voice in the ballot box
as the sintelligent, honest citizen.
Nevada has numerically the same in
fuence in the United States Senate as
New York. Should there be such in
equality? The new Belgian system
will not gointo effect until next year.
Under it the franchise is conferred on
every man who has reached the age
of 25. Every man 35 years of age
who is married has two votes, and if
in addition he possesses a certain
of property he may vote
three times. Graduates OF colleges
or universities also have two votes.
They may not have reached the age
Of 35. Thus the intelligent class and
property-oWning class receive the
balance Of power, and can always

The Outlook in the South.

The Tradesman has compiled "a re-
port of new industries established in
the Southern States during the three
months ending June Both, which
shows total of $50, against 779 and
573 for the corresponding periods in
1892 and in 1891, respectively. The
report is made up from carefully col
lected returns from every town in the
South, and shows that while the
Southern States have in some meas
ure felt the effects of the general
stringency, it has not been as serious
as apprehended. The Tradesman, in
reviewing the returns which come
from over ten thousand inquiries, says
that the Southern States, as whole,
have been conservative for months;
that unusual economy has been the
rule, and the farmers, as a class, owe
less. and are in better condition than
FOR years. The crops, which will be
harvested within the next four
months, will give the South a greater
surplus than has been known in ten
years, and the industrial outlook in
consequence is vastly improved.

HICKS, PREDICTIONS.
What American Citizens Have Right
to Expect

to Expect.
Pleasant summer days, for the most
part, will prevail at the opening of
July. The full moon and the center
of Mercury equinox falling together
on June Goth, may prolong cloudiness,
with storms in extreme east into Ju-
ly, but westerly and central regions
will have a change to fair and cooler,
with rising barometer. By the 4th
warm wave will be well defined on the
western side of the ecountry-the baron
eter will be falling in the same region,
and storms will start towards the
East. From the 4th to the 7th all
the phenomena of regular storm pc
riod may be expected at all points, as
they march in regular order from
west to east. Fair weather to the
East, growing warmer, with winds
from east to south, during the early
part of storm period, are as much
parts of the phenomena of period
as the actual storms of rain, wind and
thunder. The change to cooler west
erly winds, with barometer risirg, in
regions west of storm areas, are also
physical necessities, falling in and
bringing up the rear the moment the
storm area passes east of any given
point. The first is the headlight
showing that the train is coming; the
last is the red light hanging to the
rear coach, showing that the train
has passed. If these changes to cooler
westerly winds, with barometer be
ginning to rise, do not follow storms;
if warm south winds hold, and barom-
eter stands or falls lower, another
''section" of the storm train is sure to
follow within few hours.

IMMIGRATION.

We think that the North Carolina
press cannot refer to this too often
1t needs agitation Ten thousand
Industrious immigrants would mean
q great deal to any State. We have
resources to be developed, and with
out their development we cannot be-
come rich and prosperous. The fol
lowing from the New York Sun is
worthy of deep consideration:
'EThe great mass of the people who
arrive here from abroad are stall
wart men and honest women, willing
to work and anxious to improve
their lot in life. Such people aid sin
the development of the resources OF
the State in which they settle, pro-
mote the growth of their wealth,
and add to their power. They are
practical; they are producers; they
earn the wages which they are paid;
they soon become part of US. In
some respects they are more desir-
able than educated or cultured i'm
migrants. If, for several years, the
four or five hundred thousand OF
them who land here every year were
to go to Georgia, that State would
become the most populous and
wealthy one south of the Potomac
river, and it's real property would
become twice or thrice, or four or
five times as valuable as it now is. !"

SOUTHERN FARM LIFE.

Man is a social being Without
that contact and social intercourse
which imparts polish, arouses am
bition and begets rivalry in the
ordinary pursuits of life, existence is
robbed of much of it's zest and the
man is content to plod along in the
old and beaten paths that have be-
come overhung with ignorance and
superstition. There is no real life in
an existence which does not tend 10
elevate and broaden the intellect.
The better part of mans nature, his
finer characteristics, cannot Ee
brought out and developed in isola-
tion; and education and social inter-
course are the tertiGZIng agents, so
to speak, which transform, broaden,
and elevate the animal nature of
man to higher plane. The sparse
ly settled condition of the rural dis
stricts, the isolation of farm life,
have done more TO retard education
in the South than anything else. 1t
is the lack of social intercourse which
drives the young men from the farms,
makes life burden and not worth
the living to the young women, and
prevents the spread of education,
and these causes must be removed
before the elevating influence of edu
cation will extend far beyond the
limits of the towns and cities and
dispel the clouds of ignorance and
prejudice and superstition which
lower over the country districts.
To break down the isolation and
loneliness of farm life three reforms
are necessary, to wit: Better mail
facilities, better roads and better
schools, and to jnaugurate and
make effective these reforms another
condition is necessary: the people of
the rural district must be brought
into closer contact; must have more
interests in common, and be so
situated that their efforts and
energies may be unified in order that
the ends sought may be more speedi-
ly attained.
This opens a wide field for discus
sion and we have neither the time
nor space to pursue it in its different
phases. We can only touch lightly
upon one point. That is the estab-
lishment of farm villages. an expert
meDt which efforts are being made to
try in Georgia. The day of large
plantations in the South is past.
There are many reasons why it is no
longer profitable nor expedient to
cultivate large farms, chief of which
are the inefficiency and cost of labor.
1t has been repeatedly demonstrated
that it is much more profitable and
satisfactory to bring land to a high
state of cultivation and produce on
ten acres the same amount of
products that used to be produced
on twenty acres. .
If the farmers would confine them
selves to small acreage, to the in
tensiVe system, and then build their
houses so that all the dwellings, of a
community would come within the
scope of a village, with its schools
and churches and other agents of
civilization and elevation, what a
benefcent change there would be in
the farm life of the Soath! The ad-
vantages of easy and constant com
munication would be had; schools
could be maintained at less cost and
be made more efficient, mail facilities
would he better, and many other in
fuences would be put in action which
would transform the life of the farm
er from one of drndgery to pleasant
and profitable and independent ex-
istence.
