THE HALIFAX FARM.
More Reasons Given Why it Is Bad
Policy to Move Across the River

More Reasons Given Why it Is Bad
Policy to Move Across the River
Weldon, n. c., Feb. IL. Especial }
Superintendent Mewbome has ordered
1000 bushels of oats planted on the
Halifax farm. He proposes to sow the
cats in new ground corn land where
there are miriads of stumps, just as was
done with the wheat they sewed last
fall. 1t looks now like it will have to be
cut with sheep shears.
What is to become of the houses and
barns if the crop is broken up in this
form? They will be subject to pillage by
any and everybody. as it will take some
time 10 move the corn, fodder and num-
erouS other things necessary to be re-
moved if the camp is moved now. Who
will protect the two hundred acres in
wheat and the thousand acres in oats,
should they move off and leave them
unprotected? Cattle and stock are now
at large in this county and will be until
the 25th of March, and besides they
break out an roam ut will all the year
round, and there IS no calculating the
amount of damage from this source
alone.
1t is five miles from the Northampton
farm TO some portions of the Halifax
farm and every time a plow breaks or
any other machine gets out of order
they will ave to be taken to the black
smith shops in Northampton county, fom
or five miles and a great deal of time
consumed in crossing and recrossing the
river
There are six hundred acres of good
cotton land on the Halifax farm not
subject to overflow. some of which will
bring one and a half bales to the acre, L.
100 acres of corn land, as fine as is to be
found in the State, good saw mill,
gin house, gins. engines, ETC.. all to be
left unprotected. The garden sfworth
to-uay $500 There is Il splendid cattle
and stock range ON this farm. and
little or no pasture on the Northampton
farm, hardly Il sufficiency for the stock
and cattle they already have.
There are now POO logs, 46 horses and
mules, 80 sheep, 20 head of cattle all
to be carried over if the camp is broken
up. Does the State propose 10 give
them away CIR let them ule on the. barren
Northampton farm. There are about
1900 loads of manure that should he
hauled. When can this be done crossing
the river at the rate of six hours u day
But then, they say economy Is the
cause, we'll. if this is so why is it new
camp is started at Tillery, and another
near Wilmington. If economy is the
cause, why do they take these farms,
separated by Roanoke river and So
troublesome to cross. and when the wind
is in a certain direction impossible to
cross, and unite them, and have the two
Caledonias only separated by Il ditch,
and an lima ginary line? 1t appears to me
me to be bad Judgment. The Halifax
farm has been abused, but it has always
had less favOrs shown it.

suicide from taking his own life, but it cannot read the difficulty of the philo- sophical pessimist, which is purely a the oretical difficulty. For him the true ques- tion as to the worth of life resolves itself into the question as to the worth of man. What he wants to know is: "1s life really worth liying?" or what is the same thing: "Is he really being of infinite and eter- nal worth?''
 The reflective student can only mold life to be worth living if he can find good, solid grounds for believing that his ideals are not vain desires, and his struggles. which may seem futile, are bearing -rult /; that there is an. order in which virtue IS not triumph; that it is only in the par, tial picture that this seems to be so, and that the problem means this Is easily seen, for it Is our human ideals, and they alone which are for us the standard Of all worth.
 It is in the establishing of the, truth of the real infinite world of the bearer of life in his union with God, that life can be shown to have real worth, that our philosopher pessimist can be truly an swered And I maintain further that philosophy can establish and has estao- iished this truth And 1t is because It mas done so that I conclude that life IS, m spite of all appearances, supremacy Worth living. ., ore 1,fa worth Living?" involves a solution or the old problem of monism and pluralism, ana if is this latter problem that must pc settled in fixing the worth h or fee ae nronf in this paper that we must answer tnis nuestfon in favor of pluralism, ana that in that phase this life is given the nlgh- est possible worth, ,,ea |. saa, to involve immortality. l agree here With profeesor James that immortality is that which makes life truly worth living.

D. Bakewell of Berk keley Believes That Immortality Makes Life
 Worth Living.

BERKELEY, Feb. 1S.-Dr. c. M. Bakewell in an address before the Phil osophical Union this evening on the subject, "Is Life Worth Living?" de- clared that in spite of all appearances life is supremely worth living. The meeting this evening was the seventy seventh regular meeting of the union and the first meeting in the Philosophy building. pr. Bakewell's paper was in the nature of criticism upon an essay by Professor William James in his book on The Will to Believe, which the union is at present discuss ing In his criticism Dr. Bakewell said:
 I cannot help feeling that Professor James paper, bright and entertaining as IL is, has only brought the question which 1t professes to discuss into greater con fusion, and that largely because he does not in his discussion separate two widely different questions: Q) By what persua- sion can one dissuade would-be suicide from taking his life? @ By what argu- ment can one convince a philosophical pessimist that life is worth living?
 The faith cure of pessimism may have some effect in dissuading the would-be
