The Old Mans Sen.

The Saturday Evenitg Post.
The way OF the rich young man who
would be something more than "The
Old Mans Son" is hard. The world
has grown used to seeing the second
generation dissipate in weakness what
the first accumulated in strength. For
under the shadow of giant fortune
those elemental qualities of characte,
which are developed and knotted hard
by free and unsheltered struggle with
the world grow soft and sappy. Often
er than not, ability is not enough. Un
trained, untried, undirected in strug
gle for advancement, it may be an ele.
ment Of weakness instead OF strensth
So, though the world has nothing hut
respect for the "old mans" pocketbonk
of the son it is not so sure. Honors
may be his for the asking, but they
are sham Donors: valueless because
unearned neither satisfying him no,
decelving the public; lacking the sail
that gives them SAVIOR; making him
look beside the man who holds them
by right of conquest like goldlaced
General OF militia beside the SCARED
old Colonel who has aabred his way ur
from the ranks.
When young Vanderbilt, by all &C
counts an earnest and an ambitious
young man, went as a delegate to a
recent political convention, he became
a congressional possibility within
twenty-four hours, and there was nc
yellow journal but did him the rever
ence OF a "front-page story" Yet all
that was not recognition OF transcendent
genius in young Vanderbilt himself
but t;bute to s'The Old Mans Son.
Not until he has borne out the pro-
mise of his earnestness, will he become
"tront page story" for better res'
son.
Any young man whose father left
him a sufficient NUM- Der of stock GER
tificates can be elected director in hall
a dozen companies, but the world Will
say 'puIl :" or he may even so to Con
gress and it Will cry "barrel." He
must dem onstrate his ability again
and again before lie can secure recog
milton for his individuality.

The COMMONWEALTH again comes
to the farmers and urges them to SOW
wheat. Now Is the season.. Tor that
work and the recent rains have put the
lands in good condition for it.
Let every farmer who can do SO
plant few acres in wheat, and with
anything like fair crop he will find
that it will come cheaper than if he
should buy all his flour. While there
may be no Touring mill near you, it
will pay you to have the wheat even if
you have to haul 1t some distance.
And the farmers of this community
can get their wheat ground at Tarboro
if no nearer home. Let the farmers
plant wheat.

There seems no end to the utility
OF the product OF the cotton plant.
It has been only few years since it
was learned that cotton seed we're good
for anything at all except to be thrown
out carelessly upon the compost heap.
Already the oil of the cotton seed
has found its place in the general de-
mand for the South's output from her
cotton fields but who ever thought
there was anything in the bulls but
cow-feed?
The latest discovery about cotton
seed is that the hulls make better pa
per pulp than wood and the discovery
and experiment Herewith indicate
that it will reduce the cost OF paper of
the grade made therefrom at least one
half.

Perhaps nowhere and at 10 time in
the history of this great country has
there been displayed greater energy
aud recuperatiye power by any people
than by the people of Galveston.
1t is simply wonderful to contrast
the gruesome story of the city's dis
truction few weeks ago with the
present cheerful reports that come
from its rebuilding. The rail-
road and steamship lines are already
at their usual business the elevators
are at work, shipping interests are
looking like they did before the storm
and flood, and Galveston Is putting on
life again. All within a few weeks
after the city was one great morgue !
Truly the people of Galveston are a
wonderful people. They are forgetting
their late flood of death and are turn
Ing their hands and hearts to the re-
building of their great city.
Galveston promises to be great again =,
and the new city will be more wisely
built than the old. Good cheer to our
plucky people in the South!
