FRIDAY, GAM.
The first feature of Fridays pro-
gram was an article read by Prof. d.
N. Barrow, assistant Director North
La. Experiment Station, Calhoun, La.
Prof. Barrow's subject was "Preservs-
ton and Regeneration of our Soils"
which he treated in the most exhaus-
tive manner. His paper was well re-
ceived by the audience. After read
ing his paper, Prof. Barrow devoted
short while to the answering of ques-
lions which were propounded to him
on various agricultural subjects.
Mr.. Francis T. Constant, of Ather-
ton, followed next with paper on
"Stock Raising in the South" Mr..
Constant handled his subject well, and
shows that be has made study of
stock raising. At some future date
the Banner will publish Mr..
Constants paper.
The Institute had expected to haye
the pleasure of visit from DR.. W. Fl.
Dalrymple, Prof of Veterinary Science
L. S. u, Baton Rouge, who was
scheduled to read paper on
anthrax" or Sharbon, but he was
prevented from coming.
The editor did not have the oppor-
tunity of being present on the second
day of the Institute, aud therefore CAN
not give a fuller report of the pro-
ceedings.
Thus came 10 successful close the
first meeting of the Farmers Institute,
held in connection with the Eas. Car
roll Fair, under the auspices of the
State Board of Agriculture and I'm
migration, conducted by Major j. G.
Lee. We congratulate the planters of
our parish who were the promoters of
the Institute, and we hope to see good
results from il in the future. Our
young friend, Mr.. f. I. Constant lie TO
be especially complimented for the
zeal he has manifested in this move,

which be brought it to 90 gratifying a

The Miners Wealth.

Robert Mcintyre, a Methodist min
ister Of Chicago, has stirred some of
his brethren because he grubstaked a
miner for the klondike. The Chicago
Tribune interviewed Mr.. Mcintyre on
the subject, He says:
Conscientious scruples against such
an undertaking? No scruples entered
my mind then, nor have they since. 1t
was purely and simply matter of
principle The Sermon on the Mount
and the Ten Commandments don't
come into the matter, and theology
needn't.
The fact is, admire miners wealth.
It's clean. There are no blood or tears
on it. 1t is acquired away from the
scheming and the cut throat competi-
ton that characterizes ordinary busi-
ness ventures, where the success of one
man so often means the disaster and
downfall OF some other man, or per-
haps number of men. Nobody has
been pinched. Nobody has been
wronged. The miner who digs for.
tune out OF the ground has the salts
faction that he hasn't robbed soul,
even though he become a hundred
times millionaire.
Then. too, there is another factor to
take into consideration. The man who
makes fortune on the Board of Trade,
or on the Stock Exchange, or in build
ing up gigantic business house, adds
nothing to the worlds store of avail
able wealth. The world, in other words,
is no richer because be is richer. He
He is rich rather, because someone else
is poorer. The miner, on the other
hand. whether he digs out zoos or lOO,.
COOS, adds that much to the worlds
wealth, and, with the added wealth.
he contributes just that much to the
possible amount of the worlds com
forts and pleasures.
As look at the matter, there are few
producers OF wealth. The many live
on the few. The only man comparable
with the miner is the farmer. He gets
what he has direct from nature, but he
produces perishable wealth. While he
meets want, his contribution to the
worlds wealth therefore is not per
manent ono like the miners.
The gold miner is today the kine
wealth producer of the country, and
honor him above all others. 1t is nc
dishonor, II, needs no apology, to emu
late his example or assist him in hi'
efforts. There's the whole question il
"a nutshell.
1t isn't church matter. The fact |.

God put the gold in the valley of the
Yukon for his children. Any man,
consistent with such regulations as are
necessary for fair play and the pro-
lection of individual interests, has an
undeniable right to go there and dig
and delve all he chooses. Ii he pulls
out l00,OO0S he simply makes a draft,
not on somebody's bank account but
on natures treasury. There is no
more wrong in that, therefore, than
there would be in man sowing wheat
or planting corn and trusting to nature
to yield twenty, fifty or hundred fold.
It's private matter between man and
his Maker. There's scriptual authority
enough for man to plant and reap a
harvest of grain, and don't see why
there isn't authority enough for man
to dig aud delve and reap harvest OF
gold ust and nuggets.
As | look at the matter, therefore,
the minister who doffs brOadcloth and
dons miners garb aud faces the per-

A minister has just as much right to
