"The yellow fever recold this
year." says the Memphis Scimitar,
"indicates that the disease in its
present stale is not to be feared
so much as typhoid. 1t is not
only very mild. but spreads
very slowly. Except in the little
towns 1T has not reached the pro-
portions of an epidemic. The
death rate at Biloxi, Edwards and
Ocean Springs has been about 3
per cent; at New Orleans II per
cent; at Noble II per cent. It
will be observed that the two
notoriouslv dirty cities have the
heavier percentage of mortality.
Perhaps well-sewered and we'll

should find Judgement would have
a death rate not exceeding ) per
cent. and possibly as low as 2 per
cent. But the fever would not
be at all likely to spread in such
city almost certainly it would
not reach the proportions of an
epidemic. No clean aud severed
city has ever had an epidemic of
yellow fever. Only dirty locali-
ties are liable and the dirtier they
are the more fatal the fever other
conditions being equal. So far
the yellow fever of this year has
not been nearly so fatal as ty-
phoid or malarial fevers, as we
have them in this country"

Mans Best Friend.

First and foremost woman is
mans best friend
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is bis wife.
Because she is patient with him
in illness, endures his tretfulness
and "mothers" him.
Because she can with him en-
dure pain quietly and meet joy
gladly.
Because she teaches him the
value of gentle words, of kindly
thought and of consideration.
Because on her breast he can
shed Tears Of repentance, aud is
never reminded of them after
wards.
Because she will stick to a man
through good and evil report, and
always believes in him, if she
loves him.
Because, when he is behaving
like a fretful boy-and they all
do, you know at times-with no
reason in the world for il woman s
soft word, touch or glance, will
make him ashamed of himself, as
he ought to be.
Because, without her as an IN 3
centive, he would grow lazy:
there would be no beautiful pic
lures painted, there would be no
strains of melody.
Because--and this is the best
reason OF all--when the world
had reached an unenviaole state
OF wlckedness the blessed task of
bringing it a Savior for all man
kind was given to a woman, which
was Gods way of setting His seal
OF approval on her who is mother,
wife, daughter and sweetheart,
and, therefore, mans best friend.

That of the Southern Farmer
Are We $50 Years Behind 4?
70 the Editor OF The State.

"The north is 100 years ahead
OF the SOUTH" said a farmer to
me in western New York, a few
days ago. They plough two and
three horses at time and plough
deep. They rotate in farming
the same kind OF grain is not
sown in the same field the next
year. They buy little or no guano.
They make barnyard manure
from their stock. They raise
their own horses 10 large ex.
tent cattle, hogs and sheep.
They raise chickens and eggs for
the market. They sell milk and
butter. They take their surplus
milk to the cheese factory, con
vert 1T into cheese and carry the
whey home for the hogs. A
farmer said to me that he could
not make money by selling grain,
but he put bis grain into cattle
and got in return butter, cheese
and beef: Il got $50 70. Il cal

old. We force quick growth by
feeding and caring for our cattle.
This makes the meat rich, tender

The farms are small. A large
farmer is one that plants abou;
l25 acres OF less. Thousands of
the farmers only own 80 or 100
acres of land. This brings the
population in touch and near
neighbors. Churches and school
houses abound and the farmers
children are educated and chris
tianized at home, and each family
Is protected by the other. The
farms make from 10 to 100 bush

crop for money. They plant

chimes have taken the place Of
mans hands. They need the
brains and hands of men to guide
them, and the work is done.
Everybody works. The women
do their own cooking and house
work, while the men work on the
farm. Nothing is wasted. They
cook no more than they can eat.
Dogs are few and the pigs and
chickens get the crumbs from the
table. Time is precious and they
know how to utilize every minute.
"Make hay while the sun Shines"
"Strike while the iron is hot" are
maxims that must have gotten
their origin in the north.
Said a farmer to me "In the
south, you can put off to-day for
to- morrow and leave to days work
undone, because you have plenty
of time to do your work in, but
here we can only work about
seven months in the year and
spend the balance of the year
feeding and caring for our stock.
We can't begin to plough until
the last Of April and in December
we have to house our cattle and
horses. That is the reason YOU
southern people are so poor. You
are lazy anyway and then you do
not know how to work and save.
We have to work hard for our
living here and we know how to
take care of it. | understand that
it is disgrace for a white man
to work in the south. They let
the negroes do the work and q
white man will not work unless
he IS driven to it or compelled by
poverty"
told him that if he lived in
the south he would be as laHy as
anybody else, and he would get
negroes to work for him too if he
could, and besides, he, a Demo
crat would treat negroes Just like
southern white people treat them.
The houses for man and beast
are most spacious. In the time
of harvest, if the weather looks
threatening, the people will go
drect from the church to the
grainfields and save their crop.
Wages are high for good farm
hand-.$20 and S25 a month and
board. Day hands $1.25 per
day and feed. The ways OF the
north are different from those OF
the south. The laborer (all u
borers are white) sit at TIE table
with his employer and eat with
him. a white man in the south
does not eat with his workman,
even though the servant be white
man. These northern laborers
think they are just as good as
their boss"

The success of the gold brick swindlc

the means which are successfully used.
