Don't Go With Bad Company.
Norfolk Virginian, Feb. 49,

This was the advice sent by
"Bat" Shea to his brother few
moments before being executed
in Monday of lasts week. This
miserable nan, who had outraged
the laws Of God and man, and
who delighted in crime, in the
last hour of life remembered
what he was and what he might t
have been, aud in order that the
brother might escape a similar
life sent him the advice which
heads this article.
Shea, it will be remembered,
was tried and sentenced for the
murder of a young ma1 in Troy.
His whole life had been of the
worst character, and was attri-
butable, as he said, to the fact Of
falling into bad company when
first starting out. Just before
the light of life was shut out he
recalled these things and writing
to a friend he said: Il wish you
wauld talk to my brother and
give him a little advice for me
about whom he travels with, and
his habits, and not to go around
drinking and not to go with bad
company"
There is a certain class of
young men in every community
who should read the warning
left by Shea and profit by it.
Men do not become criminals in
day, bat it is much easier to
fall than to reform, and bad
company too often leads to the
road of ruin. So it is that the
man who never takes the first
drink will never become a
drunkard, but too often is it the
case that the first drink leads to
more and sometimes drunkard's
life.
How much better it would be
if young men who think life is
worth only what can be gotten
out of it would think of these
things. The young man who ats
tempts TO convert night into
day, and who starts out at a two
forty gate. is apt to find before
the end is reached that he has
made a mistake, but the realiza-
ton frequently comes at a time
when it avails him nothing.
How many men there are in
this world who fail to think of
these things, or if they think of
them heed them. Think of the
troubles and headaches and dis :
appointments in lie and see how
much of it all is traceable to the
way in which some men begin
life.
Don't go with bad company"
even il you have the nerve to
Withstand temptation, and do no.
actual wrong. 1t is dangerous.
Besides, the world has been
taught to judge man by the
company he keeps, and to this
extent it at least is hurtful. The
world judges the tree by the
fruit it. bears, and it does not look
for the best on the sorriest vines.
Neither does it expect to find a
correct man who keeps company
with those who are known to be
bad.

AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL
INTERESTS.

The Importance to the farmers
of the South Of the development
of the Industrial interests of that
section, which has so often been
pointed out in the Manufacturers
Record, finds an apt illustration
in letter recently from Blacks
burg, S. c., giving some strik-
ing facts in this connection. A
careful calculation made by the
writer of the letter shows that
farm property within d radius of
ten miles of two cotton mills has
been advanced in value upwards
Of 50. 100000 by the building of
these mills.
One illustration is given of
many which could be pres Mt
ed showing tha5 farmer,
who few years ago sought
in vain to dispose OF 0O0-
acre farm for $4. so an acre. has
since, by reason of the building
Of these factories and the crea-
tion of a home market for his
products, been able to sell 100
acres of his land for over $50 an
acre, and could now secure $40
an acre for the other 200, thus
giving to his property a total
valuation Of $19, 900, against ST.
$50, the price which he was anx-
ious to secure before the facto-
ries were built.
The influence of the two mills
mentioned in giving enhanced
value to land by the creation of
a local market for diversified
farm products is seen through
out the South where factory
towns have grown up. This phase
Of the industrial progress of the
South deserves the thoughtful
consideration of farmers and bus
mess men generally. It is through
the growth of manufacturing
that the greatest prosperity is
destined TO come to Southern
farmers. When factories are
built aid employment is given to
people who are consumers of
farm products instead of pro-
ducers, there will come increased
prosperity, increasing in proper
tion as the number of factories
and the number of factory towns
increase.
