|hey are doing something in the
way of agricultural education in the
Sou 4, but not half enough. Tus.
kegee furnishes an example Of what
ought to be done in every State and
county. Northern people can well
afford to study the methods OF
Booker T. Washington because they
apply just as well to one section as
to the other, and to the white people
as we'll as tho blacks. But the whites
should have more institutions for
higher education in agriculture, such
as is now afforded by State colleges
endowed by Congress. The rudi-
ments Of an industrial education are
taught at Tuskegee. That institu-
tion is turning out artisans and edu.
Gators among the humber and poorer
GLASSES of citizens. The State col
leges endowed by Congress furnish
higher grade Of scientific learning
l am glad to see that Alabama ie
getting schools of this sort scattered
over the State. I understand that
tho Legislature is now appropriating
$4,000 year to sustain an agrioul,
tural college in each Congressional
District, and the teachers come from
the State college. No country, nc
section needs the application of sci.
entitio knowledge to agriculture sc
much as the South, and to no section
does it offer such great profits"

ButoIlered n BOy,

A special from Raleigh, N. c.,
says: Tuesday night Thomas Smith,
colored, was brought here and jailed
to save him from lynching. He
lives near Smithfield. Tuesday
three white boys passing his house
threw in some firecrackers, Smith
ran out with pocket knife and cut
the throat of one of the boys, named
Cawthorne. The boy fell dead.
Smith then cut the throat Of another
boy, but missed the jugular vein.
Bloodhounds from Goldsboro trailed
Smith to Smithfield where he was
jailed. Had he remained there q
few hours longer he would surely
have been lynched. .> z

No Wonder We Are Poor.

"No Wonder the South is Poor"
is the caption of a snort article in an
exchange, that we wish every man
in the South could read and realize
the force of. The gist of the article
is the necessity of tho farmers and
planters of the South raising their
own supplies. 1t is stated by the
Southern Farm Magazine, of Balti-
more, and We believe the statement
is correct, that one hundred million
dollars arc spent annually for food
stuffs by the South that are produced
inside of its own borders, and all of
which could easily he grown at home.
Let us think for a moment what this
means. Suppose we raise ten million
bales of cotton and that it is worth,
at s cents per pound, $250,OOO, 1000
we see at onca that two-fifths of the
whole amounts spent for food, every
dollar Of which might and should be
kept at home. But this is not ell
most OF the balance goes out, too.
We buy our clothes from the North
why not raise sheep and have wooden
factories at home? We even buy
nearly all our bleaohed cottons at the
North, paying freight both ways and
leaving profit up there. Why not
bleach our own cotton goodsp Why
not mako our own thread? Why
not build our own wagons, make our
own farm implements, our shoes, our
own hardwareP Why not produce
our own butter supply, our own
fruits, our own potatoes? No one
can give an answer to these questions
that is not an imputation upon
the good common sense of our peo.
pie. They are simply cotton crazy,
and until they recover we shall have
no genuine, permanent prosperity.

no good. We hereby order, there

sentiment Of attachment is mutual.
Speaking Of leaving, last night, Capt.
W. j.. Gonzales. of Company M, Of
the I'd South Carolina, said
"For months our regiment has
been anxiously awaiting the order
to move to Cuba. We have longed
to sos te the is!and. Bat aow that
the order has come there is a marked
change in the sentiment of the mon.
We have formed such an attachment
for Savannah that we hate to leave.
The hearts and tho houses of the
people have been so opened to us
that we feel as though we were
leaving home folks. And this feel
ing, 1 may say, is not confined to the
South Carolina troops. Ihaye heard
both tho Illinois and Nebraska men
express the samo feeling. I notice
that Mr.. Curtis, Of the Chicago
Record, says Savannah is SLOW
However that may be, the boys from
Chicago have found it quite lively
enough for them. "
"And talk about the feeling of
sentiment between Savannah and
the South Carolina boys! Why,
four days ago one of the most ha-
rum-scarum young follows of my
company showed signs of having
been touched by a more tender re-
gard than he had ever felt for army
rations. The following day he was
seen by some of his comaades in
company with Savannah young
lady. This morning he applied for
fcrty-eight hours leave of alb
sence in which to celebrate his mar
riage. AS we are under orders to
sail for Cuba tomorrow morning, OF
course l could not grant his request
But I have my doubts if that young
soldier will report at roll call in the
morning or 60 to Cuba with us
You may not be able to find them al
the taking of the next census, but
Pll guarantee that Savannah at pre-.
sent contains more soldiers sweet.
hearts than any other city in the
, Union.
"Their sojourn in Savannah will be
always one of the most pleasant
memories of army life to the I'd
South Carolina regiment. OF this
am sure. The soldiers, officers and
men have been we'll received here
and I feel that I may say they have
shown their appreciation of thei,
reception by their conduct. Some
of our boys are little rough, per.
haps, but there has been no com.
plaint and no cause for complaint
against them.
GAS l said before, the Caroliniant
really are sorry to leave Savannah
If they could have their way they
would have the war department send
them back here for a month or two
before mastering them out" t."-Newe

Then, coming 20 the question Of
duty, he says our first duty
is tc our OWE people and
their posterity, and that the, greatest
boon we can preserve and transmit
to them is this Government resting
on the principles handed down from
Washington. He shows that the
Cubans and Fillipinos are entitled to
independence, and that we will be
false to ourselves as we'll as, to them
if we deny it. Concluding, he says
that if after all the intoxication OF
triumph in war we consoiontiously
remember our professions and
pledges, and soberly reflect on our
duties to ourselves and others, and
then deliberately resist the tempta-
tion of conquest, it will be the grand
est triumph of the democratic idea
of which history can tell.

American citizen. We sincerely
