uELPING TIE FARMERS.

Vice President Egan of the Central is
proving himself to be a friend to the farm
ers who live in the territory tributary TO
the Central. More than once we have
had occasion to call attention to his eff
forts in their behalf. He believes that
there are ways in which many of them
can make more money on their farms than
by growing cotton, and there is no doubt
that his belief in this matter is correct.
In our local columns yesterday we pub
Hshed extracts from letters written by
practical men and women on topics of
special interest to farmers. These letters
were prepared at the request of Mr.. Egan,
and they are to be distributed among the
farmers in pamphlet form. They deal
with dairying, poultry raising, the grow
ing of fruits and similar topics. They
are fun of practical ideas and point out
how the farmers who live adjacent to rail-
roads, or even quite distance from them
can make their farms more profitable than
they are at present.
We have always contended and still con-
tend that If the farmers go about it in
the right way they can get better results
from their farms by giving more atten-
ton to stock, fruits and vegetables and
less 90 cotton. 1t is difficult of course to
get the farmers out of the grooves in
which they have moved so long, but if
Mr.. Egan keeps trying he will make an i'm
preston on them after a while, and when
an Impression is once made 1t will not
take so very long to bring about the re-
forms which he proposes.
We have published a number of articles
recently giving accounts OF the success
with which farmers in certain sections Of
South Carolina are meeting In the culti-
walton of tobacco AS long as they stuck
TO cotton they were so poor that they
couldn't afford clothes sufficiently good 70
enable them to make a respectable ap-
pearance at church on Sundays, Now
that they are cultivating tobacco, they
not only attend church. but they go in
their own carriages. and they feel like
holding up their heads because they have
bank accounts.
II requires a little knowledge of course
to conduct a dairy or to cultivate tobacco
but this knowledge IS easily acquired by
those who are very much in earnest And
one of the first things to be learned is
that II doesn't cost any more to feed COWS
that have a pedigree than it does the COM
paratively worthless kind that have kept
company with razor back hogs In the
woods and swanfps from time immemorial.
And the same is true with regard to to-
bacco. In order to get good price for
tobacco 1t must be of a good variety, must
be carefully cultivated and properly cured
The reason so many farmers fail when
they undertake anything outside of cot
ton is that they don't make themselves &C
quainted with what they undertake to do.

MIR. Cornelius NandeTbilts largehearted-
ness, thoughtfuiness and love for children
are sgnally attested by a little incident
which lady of this city told the writer
a few days ago, says the New York Mail
and Express. She said that some years
ago, a few days before Christmas, she
went into a toy store to make a few pur-
chases. While she was engaged in making
her selections the clerk who was waiting
upon her said:
Pardon me, madam, but you would do
me a great favor if you would allow an
other of our clerks TO wait upon you. Mr.
Cornelius Vanderbilt has just come in-he
always comes in about this time every
year-and 1 always wait upon him."
"Of course" the lady went on, II ex-
cused her, and never having seen Mr.
Vanderbilt l was curious TO see what he
looked like, and I watched him while he
made his purchases. He went here and
there about the store, evidently giving as
much thought to what he was doing as
though he were purchasing railroads in
stead Of toys. l left him slim hard at work
when ! went out. Well one day not long
after l went into the same store, and had
the curiosity to ask the clerk the uues-
ton if Mr.. Vanderbilt had proved a good
customer The clerk replied that he had
bought some $500 or $500 worth of toys
and besides she added, he gave me a
Christmas present which is by far the
finest one I got this year
LAS showing how Mr.. Vanderbilts BUSH
ness training was evnced even In buying
toys, the clerk stated that he brought
with him TO the store a list of the boys and
girls who were TO receive these Christmas
presents from him, and, besides their
names were their addresses, an carefully

President Kruger of the Transvaal
makes strong point against the claim
that the Outlanders desire political rights,
and that their demand for such rights Is
the foundation of the British contention.
He says there are more than $1,000 aliens
in The republic who are eligible TO the
franchise, yet very few of them have
taken the trouble to become voters. This,
he claims with reason, shows that it IS
not the franchise that the British in the
TransvaaF are after

tinue his work Of education and in the

One danger in connection with the
threatened war between the British and

might be attended with or followed by an
uprising of the black natives against white
rule. Twenty years ago 1t will be re-

and it was only suppressed after the
expenditure of s2o,OOOOO0 of money and
many lives. It has been asserted that

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Mail and Express (Rep)
Bryan state, has supplied more volunteers
to the army since the outbreak of the
war with Spain than any other common
wealth, while Massachusetts, which har-
bors the noisiest crowd of squeaky little
"anti-impcrialists" in the whole country,
has supplied more in proportion to pop
ulation than any other Northern state.
All of which is respectfully submitted to
the careful consideration of those who i'm
agine that expansion is either a sectional
or a partisan issue"
The Birmingham Age-Herald, discussing
the fever situation. says: THE greater
probability is that the fever will this year
be almost wholly confined to Key West
and New Orleans, both unsewered, be-

the efforts of the government and the
advancing season the disease has little
chance of spreading widely"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.), comment
ing on Secretary Hays defense of the
Dingiey tariff law, says: Mr.. Hay knows
that the present prosperity is world wide
and that our increased export trade is
not because of the monstrous Dingley tar

hostility of the whole world, but in spite
of that odious legislation"

LEARNING A TRADE.
, It Brings Independence and Better
Opportunity for Engaging an
Business.

If some one should ask what is to
be gained by learning trader" the an
swer first suggesting itself would be to
show that a. skilled worker-an artisan
or mechanic-earnS two, three or even
four times as much wages in the same
number of hours OF days as an un
skilled laborer-one who does work that
requires no special training. The serv-
ices of skilled worker are also in more
constant demand, and, while he earns
two or three times as much per hour,
he has longer periods of work and less
enforced idleness than has the I'M
skilled laborer. The possession of a
trade gives a comforting sense of Sc
curity and independence, for one thus
skilled is always sure of a comfortable
livelihood, and, with economy. a COM
potency for the declining years of his
life, and, besides, he has various oppOr-
tunities Of engaging in profitable bust
ness for himself. These advantages are
within the reach of every bright boy,
and obtainable without a sacrifice. This
will be underStoO when it is cOnsid-
cred that the wages of an apprentice
to a trade are about the same as the
wages of a lad of the same age at IN
skilled forms of labor; consequently
the apprentice Is making about as
much money as if employed at ordinary
manual labor, besides gaining a trade

She was woefuily out of place in the
dairy lunchroom. The swish of her
skirts was too aristocratic and her nose
was too tilted for her ever to be served
nicely by a democratic dairy lunch
waitress.
She was q stranger in town, else she
would not have gone there. Her train
had come in about noon and she was
hungry. so she darted into the first ''eau
shop" that had a sign hanging out in
front of it.
She saw that she was out of place,
herself. She busted off the chair with
her handkerchief before she sat down
and her nose went up higher when she
heard a waitress yell back to the cook,
lone ham and cup o wash and two
sinkers. One cup apple, a brace o

She picked up the bill of fare that a
waitress with red hair and a checked
apron had pushed before her. 'Whattle

not the apron.
Bring me some corn cakes and maple
strip, please" replied the woman quiet

And as the girl walked away to get a
napkin and a knife and fork, she cried
through the kitchen window: "Corns.

wealthy Counties. a Missionary.

The queerest proselytism in the
world, perhaps, for the cause of religion
is that engaged in by Countess Schim-
melman of Denmark. assisted by her
two sons. The countess is quite
wealthy. but instead of spending her
fortune in the pursuit of this worlds
pleasure she is using it in travelling
around the globe urging the unre-
deemed to prepare for the world to
come. Her work is directed largely
toward the salvation of her own coun-
trymen, but people of all nationalities
are welcome to listen to her admoni-
tions. She has her own yacht, a very
trim and comfortable vessel, flying the
Danish flag. Ere she returns to her
native flag she will have touched at
nearly every accessible port on this
continent. The Duen, as her floating
temple is called, is the second foreign
vessel to sail the waters of Lake Erie,
the Viking having crossed the lake on
it's way to the worlds fair five years
ago.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
