SECRETARY SMITH ERROR.

Hon. Hoke Smith, Secretary Of the IN
terror was not old enough when the
war came on to know much of social
conditions, and the speech which he made
a few days back at Chapel Hill, in
North Carolina. shows that he has not
learned them accurately since. In it he
said:
THE institution Of slavery divided the
people of the South into three class s.
First. the rich slave-OWners, who had
no inducement 10 exert themselves for
material gain; second, the poor whites.
who. brought into competition with slave
labor, had no opportunity 10 accom-
plish results; third, the slaves thems Ives
who labOred without aspiration, doing only
that which was forced upon them. II
created an agricultural system which
was calculated to gradually exhaust the
soil. while il was productive Of waste,
and had no tendency To develop resources
other than those Of an agricultural
nature.
Mr.. Smith is totally mistaken about
this. The poor whites were not brought.
before the war in the South. into com
petition with slave labor; that is. TO con-
dition existed which limited the poor
white man TO such competition. Every
avenue for rising in life that was omen
to the rich white man was equally Oh
TO the poor white man, and the poor
white men were constantly improving
their conditions in life. Many owned
small tracts of land. and the industrious.
without exception, worked along until
they had all the comforts of life about
them. Many others rented land and
finally acquired enough to become owners
Of small homes. Many others t en-
pigment as overseers. and. after saw
ing enough from their annual salaries
bought small tracts Of land and CON
verted them into comfortable homes.
But all the avenues Of life were oren
10 the poor white man ard al Of them
who We're Industrious made themselves
and their families comfortable in life
while some Of the brightest ornaments
Of our politics started from the humble
beginnings.

Brief and Timely Memoranda of Interest

Brief and Timely Memoranda of Interest
 to Mothers.
 This subject, which lacks interest but two or three months in the year, is particularly interesting now.
 The vogue of shirt waist and extra waist generally is boon to mothers, for one skirt will outwear two or more waists, and these latter are easily made as rule.
 A school gown consisting of plaid skirt with two waists of different plain colors would give variety and double the service of one gown. The disad- vantages of bands allowing the weight on the hips is obviated by making the bands comfortably loose and button ing or hooking skirt and waist to- gether.
 Striped skirts also look we'll with plain bodices, and one bodice may be made of the same with collar or some portion in plain material to relieve the monotony that always results from the use of one single material un- trimmed.
 Plain skirts look well with waists of plaid, stripes or checked m aterials.- Domestic Monthly.
