THE FARMERS ENEMY.

The Southern Statcs .Nagazinc for
June summarizes the farmers great
est enemy in the following way:
The greatest enemy to the farmer
is the farmer himself. Were he to
show an eagerncss and anxiety for
the elevation of his vocation it would
soon rank with the so-called learned
profes sionS. and the vocation would
be regarded by the mass of mankind
As distinct from the business OF a
mere laborer a that of lawyer
from lawyers clerk or that of Il
physician from a mere apothecarv
No occupation is SO well calculated
TO keep in equilibrium all the powers

the most varied neutrality-suspicious.,
care and diligence; zeal. industry and
economy; tact and skill, to direct and
manage. No faculty OF the intellect
or power of muscle or feeling of the
heart but what is brought into re-
QUESTION by the successful farmer.
Deep silence and plant art must
unite in him. He must not only
know how 10 direct. but he must
know how to execute. Let him train
and prepare himself by increased
knowledge for the brilliant future
that lies before him, and take that
position in the forefront which the

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.
Danger in its Not Being DISTINCT,
Understood.
{ 4 ShcVillc CitlZen.O

There is danger of the public mind
being very greatly prejudiced again It
the suffrage amendment to our State
constitution because of its provisions
not being distinctly understood by
the masses of the people.
The object of the amendment is to
restrict the suffrage -that is. to
allow fewer men in the State to vote
than now. As distinguished LAWYER
and member of the Legislature said
upon the floor Of the House while this
measure was under discussion. 1T is
too clear for argument that this
amendment contains a single plan.
a scheme. OF so limiting the suffrage
As TO allow all persons OF requisite i'll

write or not. and no others. to vote =

whether he can read or not. If he
can read he can register and vote. if
he cannot read, he can register and
vote because his father or Grand
father could vote on january /, 1867.
Few negroes could vote on January
J. 1861. and so few negroes viii he
allowed to register and vote unless
they can read.
This Is the whole matter in 4 nut
shell But any negro who learns to
read between now and December /.
l9oS, can register and vote. This is
great incentive to men and BOYS OF
that race to learn to read. They ar,
given nine full wears in which tc
make themselves voters. Ii they
fail TO do SO they will show them
selves Indifferent to their rights OF

TIE STANDARD YARDSTlCK,
Yen-s O: study and Experiments
Were Necessary to Produce II.

People who handle the yardstick
have but little idea Of the years Of
study and experiments that were nee
essary TO secure the standard yard
measure observed an official of the
coast survey.
Bird a famous scientist, made the
first standard yard in 1850. but the
English government did not legalize it
until 1924. Ten years afterward.
when the house Of parliament in Lon
don was destroyed by fire. the stand
ard yard was lost. ans England was
again without standard yard Of
length Sheepsbanks next made a
standard measure. which the English
government adopted, and. SO that it
could not be again destroyed by
fire, four authorized copies were made
of it. One of these was deposited in
the royal mint. another in the Royal
society, another in the observatory at
Greenwich. and the fourth was i'm
bodied in the walls Of the new house
Of parliament.
The standard yard measures which
are owned by the government are cop
les Of the original, one Of which Is
owned by the coast survey The Unit
sd States naval observatory has one
also. The delcacy of it's construction
may be gathered by the fact that a
change of temperature OF one-hun-
dredth of a degree of Fahrenheit has
been found to produce a sensible effect
on the length of the bar.
'"The copies of the standard are
| made of bronze, for the reason that
bronze is less affected by temperature
than any distinct or single metal.
"The cost of the construction Of the
original standard yard measure in

sistants for nearly six years. Sleeps
