Ever Faithful to MARS Tom. ;,

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
81 saw a pathetic instance at
Greensboro of a negro's fidelity"
said w. L. Williams, a travelling
man. "About ten miles from the

slab at its head. Seated near it was
an old negro with bunch of flowers
which he was placing upon the
mound l stopped my horse and
spoke to the darky.
Whose grave is that, uncle?' |
asked.

r 81 was interested in the old fellow
and wanted to hear his story The

the faithful negro further:
How old are you uncle?'
Mos a hundred, / reckon, sab.
"'Was you in the WARP

DIVERSITY NEEDED.

We can hardly wonder that the
South is not rich when we consider
the prevailing practice of raising and
manufacturing SO little that we need
and of depending upon other sections
for our supplies. This policy has
meant an outgoing stream of money
without corresponding incoming
stream. We need diversified manu-
featuring Industries to work our raw
material right at home, giving en-
ployment to our laborers, and turn
ing out products that will bring
money in this direction.
Then we need more diversity in
agricultural pursuits. All cotton
and tobacco will not do. We must
raise our own breadstuffs and our
own meat and stop the folly of run
ming our Touring mills and keeping
our smokehouses in the North and
West.
In connection with these matters,
we need, also, to cultivate the prac-
tice of patronizing home industries.
Don't take it for granted that an
article is better because it is made or
sold elsewhere. At least give home
manufacturers and home merchants
an equal showing with the foreign
manufacturer and the foreign mer-
chant.
Our resources are great and if we
will utilize them and stick to each
other we may expect an era of inn
provement to dawn upon us.
Referring to diversity in agricul-
tural matters, the st. Louis Globe
Democrat has the following sensible
words, which we commend to the
earnest consideration of our farmers:
"There is 40 reason why the south
ern people should send north for any
kind of food products, but every
reason why they should have such
articles to sell instead of being
obliged to buy them, as they have
SO long been doing. The agricultur-
al possibilities of their section are
equal to the same Investigation OF
crops that is knownin the north. 1t
isonly necessary for them to abandon
their inherited superstition in favor
of cotton as an exclusive product.
That is all that stands in the way of
their success as competitors of the
northern people in all branches of
farming. 1t is probably true that
some of their lands will not produce
anything except cotton in a profita.
BILE quantity; but the aggregate
acreage of lands of that kind is not
large in comparison with those
which can be relied upon for the,
cereals. The low price of cotton
makes that crop losing one in
most cases, and it is useless to expect
a higher price in view of the constant
increase Of production in other coun-
tries. If the south is to thrive, she
must raise less cotton and more corn
and other things that can be market
ed to better advantage. The fact
that she can do soif she will has been
indisputably established. She is at
the beginning Of new era in her
prosperity, provided she does not
neglect to improve the opportunity,

HAzING.

The disgraceful, shameful and
cowardly practic of hazing, INDUCED
in by the smart Alexis at some
Colleges, should receive the severe
condemnation of decent, intelligent
people everywhere. Any institution
of learning that winks at or permits
such a practice deserves to go down.
The latest incident of this brutality
comes from the University of Cali
fornia, where a crippled student
named Campbell was caught after
midnight on his way to his quarters,
seized and blindfolded, and with a
dull razor the students shaved one
side of his head and cut off his eye
brows and eyelashes, daubed his
head with red ink, painted his cheeks
with red letters, stripped him and
covered his body with red letters.
The charge against Campbell was
that he was disloyal to the football
team Of the University. Between
hazing and football cur male col
1eges, many Of them, appear to be In
b bad way.
