Let US say to the farmers try and
farm scientifically. Don't fail to
push your business. Begin right
and all will be right; begin wrong
and all will end wrong. When you
farm, try and make business Of it
and study your interest the same as
you would study any other business
proposition.

The negroes of our section are calm
on politics. They begin to realize
that this is a white mans country
and white men must rule it. I would
like to see the white people more
united than what they are. The
time has come for this mud throwing
business to stand still. We are tired
of so much turmoil and strife.
This will be harvest week with the

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
I notice in your columns last week
resolutions passed by the Directors
of the Farmers Mutual Fire 1nsur-
ance Association, held June 1st,
charging the agent of having issued
policies and not entering them on
the books. Now, as local agent, l
deny any such charge, and can prove
by the books that every policy l
wrote appears on, the books. But
will say that I had Mr.. E. P. Powell
employed as one of my sub-agents,
and that he did write policies and
failed to return them to me, OR even
to let me know that he had ever
written such policies, thus defraud-
ing both I and the insured out of
our just money, and as soon as I
found it out, I at once discharged
him. For these acts he must
account or take the consequences.
Now, as for valuing property too
high, I will say there was director
in each township that I subr1i, ted
every policy written in that township
to him and it was his duty to put
the proper valuation on it. ID you
see at once if the property wa too
high it was the fault of the directors.

Let Us Have a Primary.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your comments on Maj. Rooms
excellent article "Our Constitutional
Convention" which appeared in your
issue of May 29th, you say 'to now
select our delegates to the constitu
tional convention would be q deplor-
able step backward" Tie truths, to
now return to the convention plants "a
deplorable step backward" This
con,e sticn plan was adopted dby almost
no vote at all at the club meetings
and the great body Of voters in Lex
ington are altogether opposed to the
convention plan. 1t has been often
said in the hearing Of the writer
that if nominations are made by the
convention plan that ':the ticket is al
ready made up"
This "boss" plan of selecting can
didates to be forced down the throats
of the people caused the revolt
against the old regime in 1890, and
the people are not now going to give
up their hold on the government. It
is an indlsputable fact that the pri-
mary plan is the only one through
which the will of the people are
made known in nominating candi-
dates, and by all means let us have it.

Ought Co-Education be Encouraged
in Schools?

Our parents ought to look forward
in the light of progress and send theil
daughters to school, and give them
first class education.
As rule our fathers send thei,
sons off to school but let your scribe
say one word on the subject.
Fathers, instead of sending youl
sons to school, send your daughters,
Why? Because they may be able to
perform the duties of life.
Many man says Il will send my
son to school and give him an
education, and there is my daughter
I will let some young man come and
take her and he will maintain her. "
I will say this father makes a mis-
take and that bad one. Suppose
this man dies in a few years after be
marries the lady, why of course the
lady would be at place where she could
not help herself. Then, if she had
her education, she would be, alright
any way.
Again the young lady who has an
education is able to teach other
ladies.
Friend, are we right? Whom are
we speaking Of? We are speaking OF
the lady who has an education.
When we say education we mean a
moral as we'll as others. VIII we not
see young lady prosper if she is
educated morally?
Now let us look at the system in
light OF progress and common sense
and give our sisters an education
We long to see the day when oul
ladies of the land will be able t<
secure an education. Let US lool
after these duties, and see that ou:
ladies do have an education.

The Situation in Armenia Described by q
Christian Archbishop.
BOSTON, Dec 20.-A correspondent writ
ing from Erzeroum incloses copy of q
letter from the archbishop of Erzeroum to
the catholics, the official head of the Ar
menian church, who has his see at Etch-
miadzin, Russian Armenia, describing
the recent massacre ut Erzeroum. It says:
"The recent terrible massacre by tho
Turkish soldiers and mob has buried Err
zeroum In mourning and ruin. Tho Turk
ish government let loose its soldiers and
mob upon tho defenseless Armenians.
They committed unparalleled barbarities.
They butchered and mutilated thousands,
abducted women and girls plundcred all
the shops and bazars, pillaged and de-
stroyed many houses, and committed other
evils beyond imagination. These atroci-
ties were repeated in the villages, where
many were killed or abducted, and every
thing was pillagcd. While 1 write these
lines see the smoke rising from several
places which are being burned and ruined
now.
"The poor survivors have neither home,
nor store, nor food, nor clothing Thou
sands are hungry and unprotected, and
there is no hope for any quarter. Erzer-
oum is dead, Trbizond ruined, Baihurt
destroyed, Birmingham slaughtered and
Bitlis devastated. There is no Armenian
city or district left in Turkey which Turk
ish ferocity has not ruined and laid waste.
1t Is impossible to find words to express
tho serious and terrible state of things.
For Gods sake, hasten your help. A little
more and we are all lost. We shall fall
into the depths of destruction IL not
helped in time. Thousands of my poor
people are calling for help; for help calls
also their unhappy and afflicted pastor"
