The country-bred boy has the dis
tinct advantage over the city-bred
fellow in two things: His strength is
greater by reason of his country
birth, and he has a clearer idea of
hard work. The country-bred boy,
as a general rule, has to struggle for
his existence; lie has 10 help OH the
farm, and generally it is at hard
work. This gives him strength and
power of endurance, while all the
time he is breathing an atmosphere
of pure air into his lungs. Expert
cnce prepares such boy for hard
work. The city-brcd boy hardly
knows what hard work is, and when
70 meets it as young man he can
not endure it. 1t is true that the
country boy approaches city prob
lens with lesser knowledge of them
than does the city-bred boy; but
often, as has been said, the two fun
damental essentials in carving out
ones way to a successful career are
good health and hard work. With
these a young man can accomplish
almost anything he desires; without
them he can do nothing.-Ladies'

Saturday, September Sd, has boon ap-
pointed as tho day for tho annual re-
union of all of tho schools. Every pa

children. Without special exortiOn and
self-denial tho children cannot be edu-
Gated.
1t is unfortunate that so many teachers
were absent from tho Institute. All
should be present on this occasion.
Two children from each school should
bo prepared by the teachers to mako
speeches or read essays. 4 better plan,
wilon practicable, would be for each
school to have ono dialogue and no
speech or essay. BY this plan moro
children could take part in the exercises
without consuming much moro time.

Controlling Cotton.

The annual movement to restrict
the production and restrain the mar
keting of cotton has been resumed,
as appears in the letter from Col. l..
w. Youmans, printed to-day.
Business mon in tho towns and
cities can help it and should help it.
If it does no good it can do no harm,
and the chances are that it will do
good. 1t must do good if the whole
South becomes enlisted in it and we
can not reach that result unless we
make a beginning. This year is a
good one for the beginning.
Warehouses; everywhere, like that
recently established at Laurons, will
help the farmers much. Advances
made on cotton stored in them to
meet the most pressing demands on
growers would enable owners to hold
the cotton for a time at least. Of
course there is the obvious obstacle
that buyers would know the cotton
was thore but the fact that i: was
held and indications of reduced
acorage the following season would
stimulate prices, and each small
advance on the coming crop will
mean millions of dollars more money
for the South.
The farmers must begin it. AS
soon as they show that they arc in
earnest and intend to adopt some
definite plan for reducing production
they will find tho merchants and
bankers with them. Our interests
are all the same.
The alliance would be a magnifi-
cont machine for executing this idea
it politicians had not wrecked it.
