Why the South is Poor.

Ashvtlle Citizen.
The New York World says that the
South is not poor, because for its 80
crops of cotton raised since the war, it
has received seven and halt billions OF
dollars. That does not prove the case
any more than to say of bank teller
that he must be rich because he has re-
ceived over a million of dollars in a
year. The million belonged to other
men. And it was too much SO with the
seven cotton billions. If the small plant
er makes on his cotton. crop thousand
dollars, and must at once pay over
eight hundred of it for store supplies,
leaving the other two hundred to inn
prove and keep up his land, buy new
tools, and to live on till he puts in a
crop, he is not becoming rich very fast.
TheWorld says it is an affront to South
ern sagacity and energy to say that the
South is poor. The South is lacking
in sagacity when 1t will go on yeal
after year making a crop that, 1t is re-
peatedly asserertd, contains no profit
leaving more land on which to raise
general supplies. But where is the
man in the South who can organize
the cotton raising States by township
against too large cotton crop? HI
has vet to appear above the horizon.

Mrs. S. T. Rorer Precrihes Foods
That are Easy to Digest.

"The average person may take for
breakfast sub-acid fruit, snch as raw
baked, steamed or stewed apple, ripe
peach, bunch of grapes or very soft
pear" writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer, on
"Wbat indigestion Really Means" in
the February Ladies Home Jounal.
This may be followed by bowl of
well-cooked cereal with little milk,
slice of whole wheat bread, and, If he
has been accustomed to it, a cup OF
clear coffee, one-half heated milk. No
other food is actually necessary-in
fact, one might be better off with even
lighter meal. The heavy breakfast,
quickly and carelessly eaten by the av-
erage family, brings about such diseases
as come to the over-eaters-rheumatism,
gout, uric acid conditions and Brightis
disease.
"The MONDAY meal should he light,
unless two hours rest can be taken. 1t
may consist of cream soup, two or
three slices of whole wheat bread and
butter, any little light minced meat,
and again fruit. This meal may be
closed with a rice. pudding, cup Gus
tard or some simple dessert made prin-
cipally from eggs and milk, rice and
milk, or whipped cream. The night
meal, after the days work Is over
should for its first course have per-
fectly clear soup, either plain con-
somme or a bouillon made entirely
from Vegetable matter, or clear, light
tomato soup the idea is to warm and
stimulate the stomach without giving
nourishment. Follow this with red
meat, either beef or mutton, brolled,
roasted, or boiled ; one starchy vegtaDle,
as rice, macaron!, potato, or in the win.
ter, boiled chestnuts; one green veg
liable as carefully-cooked cabbage, caul-
viflower, spinach, asparagus, green peas
or beans, stewed cucumbers or squash,
according to the season of the year;
then a light dinner salad composed OF
either celery, lettuce, cress, endlve or
chicory, or even shredded raw cabbage
dressed with little oil and few drops
of lemon juice, with bit of cheese and
a bread stick, or a wafer or plece OF
brown bread, followed by some very
light dessert similar to those mentioned
i for the MONDAY meal"

opt OF the way is 1t than muscle. But
the possession of clear purpose does not
necessarily mean that all difficulties
will disappear. Such are good for us
and test our purpose as to whether it
has the genuine ring OF pure metal
about it.
I assume that the preceding para
graph will be regarded as applying
most definitely to young men out in

it so applied. That's too narrow way
of regarding it. It applies to us all, as
I shall show.
Weary widow, with heart crushed
by strange and terrible affllction,-
lett perhaps with small children to
sustain, none of them able to help with
the family purse, except to help empty
it-look back at the first few hours of
your bereavement and recall how the
almost fierce resolve to bring them up
we'll in spite of every obstacle, brought
some measure of quiet orderliness to
your brain and has made the struggle
seem worth while ever since.
Aged pilgrim, whose beetling brow
is covered with the SHOWS of lfe's
winter, hit up your head Into the sun
shine, let its glorles linger around your
tsmpest-worn face, that the young may
look up to you as guide and an en-
couragement that they may see what
it is to have borne the conflict and re-
sisted the storm, to stand at the last
strongly, quietly, brightly In the midst
of light that seems to grow more
beautiful as YOU sink away into the
night. Purpose is still yours to enjoy !;
the purpose to guide and encourage
others. That will make the last days
as beautiful for good, as permanently
useful as any that have gone before,
since you know not what undreamed- of
hero, what budding genius you may be
stimulating; or what "silent influence"
you may be lnaugurating.
Maidens with knowledge of life yet
20 be learned bereaved and smitten
ones in a world where there are ever
deeper sorrows than yours men who
seek to make money for itself alone
and who lose happiness in the making !;
young men over whose bright way
there is but the one cloud that arises
from abusing life instead of using it !;
all, all who are weary and heavy laden
all who are puzzled, bewlldered, lost !;
cling fast to one purpose-tO do all
you can for as many as you can as long
as you can.-and the living out of the
golden rule will make crooked paths
straight and show even the most triflng
duties to be "wOrth while."

A RESIDENCE BURNED.
Felix Allen, a Half Witted Ne gro, Eats Apples and Watch
 es His Home Burn.

About ' o'clock this morning the six-room residence belonging to Felix Allen burned to the ground. The residence was situated a little west of the cemetery beyond the fire limits, consequently no alarm was turned in.
 Allen is a half witted negro and when the house was discovered on fire he was seen wandering aimless- ly about the house. He finally pick ed up an apple and a looking-glass and went out eating the apple. It is thought by the neighbors that he set tue house on fire. Nothing was saved.
