dustrious aud intelligent, are not the
class most desired 10 increase the
prosperity and wealth of this State. Is
it any wonder that our financial COR
dition is so stringent when for almost
every article from the cradle to the
casket our money is sent outside the
State. I, is not long since that a
Southern Methodist church sent several
hundred dollars to Michigan for pews.
In theory this practice may be very
pretty one to talk about aud no doubt
those who profit by it enjoy it hugely,
but it is poverty and death to Us. Hon.
Carroll d. Wright, in lecture, Labor
in the South" (and would that his
statement were more particularly ap-
plicable TO our State), says the young
men have learned there are two arls
tocracies, the one which their fathers
represented, the ever attractive, honor
able aristocracy of blood, and that other
aristocracy which is the admiration Of
to day, the aristocracy of enterprise,
activity and development, so that while
claiming to be the scions of the one
they have become mem oers OF the
other. Listen TO his closing remarks:
"You can take no backward steps.
You must pnsh on under the new order
of things, make your country ricb,
make the labor that makes the country
rich happy, make your capital safe and
profitable, meet the irritating difficult
ties as they come in the spirit of justice
and kindness, and you will make the
richest portion of the inheritance of our
fathers the wonder of the world"
The report of the committee was re-
ceived and discussed at some length,
and views expressed thereon were in
the main approved. An essay read by
w. r. Smith at the late Farmers Insti-
tute, Winchester, on road improvement
was then read and the ideas and sug-
gestions advanced were generally COM
mended. An essay by j. S. Lupton
at the institute, "Why times are hard, )"
was also read and provoked general
comment, being apparently in the main
approved. He thought too much effort
was made to induce foreigners and
others to take up our public lands and
engage in farming, which resulted in
causing the producing class to largely
outnumber the consumers.
]. w. Roberts cillcd attention to the
new assessment Of lands in the State
now under way, and TO the likelihood
of the valuation being much reduced in
many counties. The matter is one of
serious import and the hope was ur-
gently expressed that those engaged in
this county iu the work of reassess-
ment would be governed accordingly,
and endeavor to so rate the lands that
equalization would be maintained. This
again brings prominently before US the
absolute necessity of State board of
equalization of taxes, to the end that
no hardship shall entail upon any Sec
ton of the State. In the course of the
discussion upon different subjects
allusion was made to some of the ex-
travagant statements made at the late
dairy convention at Richmond, as to
the great proftssof that branch of farm
