Virginia, in parts of Georgia and in the
blue grass region of Tennessee farming
pays fairly, owing to the greater thrift
of the inhabitants and to the fertility Of
the soil, but, on the whole the progress
of the new south, like that of the rest of
the country, certainly has not taken this
direction. 1t is through its urban de-
velopment only that the section has
justly earned its sobriquet.
New cities like Roanoke, Va, have
sprung up on ground that 20 years ago
was parceled into farms. Antebellum
villages have become large cities as in
the case of Atlanta and Chattanooga.
Old towns like Nashville and Richmond
have taken a fresh lease of life and be-
come rich and progressive. A new rail
road has made the fortune of this place,
new textile or other industry has
caused the growth of that. And all this
progress has been due to the abolition of
slavery and to the destruction of prop
erty caused by the civil war. The south
erner of the last 80 years has simply
had to work in order to live, and, like
the rest of the world, he has preferred
the town to the country.-W p. Trent

CHARITY FAIRS.
An Argument {" Show Why They Should
Ia Snnnrasaad

An Argument {" Show why They Should
he Suppressed.
Charity has been defined as this state
of things. That 50 soon as A is III trou-
BILE B begins to consider what G ought
to do for him. All charitable fairs, for
instance, are based on this principle
You go and Duy something which you
probably do not want in order that the
profit made on it may go to some good
cause In case you had really wanted
what you bought you would have per-
haps bought it somewhere else, and the
regular trade thus suffers from the loss
of your custom. In case Of very large
fairs, like the sanitary fairs" in war
time, the ordinary local trade unques-
tionably suffers, perhaps for whole
year, and the community is thus impov-
erished to a degree in one way so that
it may be helped in other ways.
For great national object this can
easily be endured, although, to be sure,
we never have known just what the
regular dealers thought about it. But
when we consider that the same thing
is done to some extent in behalf of every
local or sectarian enterprise, it is evil
dent that the principle of the affair is
not quite satisfactory.
Suppose, for instance, that we were
all to agree for single year to have all
our shoes and hats made by amateurs
''for sweet charity's sake" and to have
a single church or hospital take the
value of them all. Then sweet charity
would make an apparent gain no doubt,
but all the ordinary hatmakers and shoe
makers would starve. Or, if they did
not starve, they would be supported by
their kindred who perhaps are not far
above the starvation point themselves,
or they would be supported by sweet
charity, and the last condition of things
would be worse than the first. 1t is not
really the fact that the evils of society
can be greatly helped by dressing NJ
young girls prettily and having them
take money and give rather inaccurate
change at q bazaar table. One day, per
haps, when the laws of trade are better
understood, we shall look at charity
fairs as we already look at lotteries
which were once regarded as one of tn,
highest forms of sweet charity, bu
which are now prohibited by law

Effect Of Words.

There is such variety of words they
are used to both good and bad effects
when desired. An architect of a great
building is very careful regarding
solidity and regularity in laying the
foundation. And so it is with the
minds of great characters in laying the
foundation of their words, either verbal
or written. While there are others who
use words like Absalom's kisses, for
effects sake only. Still others, like the
little boy with straw in his hat to catch
the pony, they desire a favor of you
But of all demoralizing language,
words used to the worst effect, is to
stealthily impair the character of
another. The Slang expression, mot so
much smoke without some fire"is some
times made. OF course not. For we are
taught the tongue is a fire and usually
envy, jealousy and malice, ignites the
flame. A person may feel under the
trying ordeal that human injury de-
manded human redress Yet it is far
better to require no redress at such
parties hands, as their own words
finally will assign to them the portion
of the second death.

On Wednesday of last week at I
o'clock p. m, Miss Joe Sullivan died
at her home in South Columbia
after few days illness, in the Goth
year of her age. Deceased had been
a member of the Christian Church
at this place for several years, and
her entire life, short though it was,
had been given over to her Master.
She worked with never-tiring
energy for the upbuilding and ad-
vancement of Christianity's cause,
and lived so that when the last
hour came she was ready and will
ing to quit her earthly life and be-
gin a higher, nobler one. The
funeral services were conducted at
the residence att o'clock Thursday
afternoon by Rev. A. L. Davis, and
the remains were inferred in Rose
Hill Cemetery. She leaves a
father and mother and three sisters.
