a MODEL FARM EIe
Col. l.. +. Miller, Formerly of Newberry,
Shows tho FIoridInns How to
Farm Scientifically

The following article taken from
the Ocala, Fla, Banner, will be read
with interest by Col. NIiller's friends
in Newberry County:
The difference between a farmer
and an agriculturist is explained on
follows: A farmer is ono who makes
bis money on tho farm and spends it
in town. An agricultural is one who
makes his money in town and spend
! it on the farm
Col. Lovick p. Miller, living four
miles south Of Ocala, b,longs 10 the
former class.
Ho is n farmer par excelonca.
Everything on tho farm proclaims it
Nothing has abont It Il go. as. you-
please look. There is nothing slip.

That it was Il fake was not discovered
for fully an hour after the object was
drawn up out Of the water an | the
discovery created a sensation and over
LOO persons gathered about ii making
guesses rs to what poor soul occupied
it before its uutimely and sal death.
Some suggested suicide, others mur-
der, but mono venturcd Il solution ro-
gardlng identity.
Coroner Wilbanks was summoned
at once, and for fear Of spelling somo
clue that might suggest itself to the
shrewd and experienced Office, tho
body lay on the bank untouched. Mr..
Wilbanks reported promptly and ap-
preaching the scene with his usual
dignity, wearing his best mixture Of
professional smile and scowl. A few
yards from where the body lay he
passed a party of young men who
were swearing in good nuturcd
way. He cautioned them that they
wcro in the presence Of death and
that their self respect commanded
their silence; if they had no respect
for themselves they shonll show somo
feeling for the family Of the unfor-
tunate man who lay there stiff in
death.
Arriving at tho scene Mr. Wilbanks
went straight up to the body. First
ho looked at critically and with tho
cold matter Of fact air Of profess
sional. There was q change in his
countenanco indicating disappont-
ment, but there was q suspicion of
smile playing about tho corners of
his mouth. He kicked the body. Sew
oral men placed their fingers to their
noses complained of a "fearful odor,"
While two women who wero becoming
pale left to avoid fainting. Tho cor
oner gave the "corpse" another and
more able bodied kick, knocked "tho
stulling out of it,"
"Sawdust, fake" grunted the Off
cor and he turned on his heel and
walked away, while tho crowd laughed.
The small boys promptly began a
post norton.

Offices, and particularly for tho gen
oral assembly, whore they arc SO scri
ously needed.
il ii to be noted also that in the
last fow years practically no business
men have run for Offices, and it is
now being admitted that there woulb
be no injury dono tho public service
if tho business interests Of the State
would taliO Il moro active hand in the
elections. Tho first place whore

there would not be SO much tax upon
his timo and patriotism, is in the gen
cral assembly, and in each county the
democrats would do well to SEQ that
successful mon arc elected rather
men who merely want to go to Co
lumbla without much idea Of what
they arc to do when they get there.
The business and industrial interests
Of tho State are growing very rapid!
and aomo means ought to be devised
whereby other than tho professional
Office seekers and politicians can &c,

Why Some Boys do not Succeed

Standing, says jour- alist, by
the desk of business man who
employs quite Number Of lads,
saw Il boy Of about fifteen come in
and apply for Il situation. The
boy was well dressed, and in de-
mcanor and accent indicated that
nc belonged to Il good school.
Without taking off his hat or APP
pcarinG to notice anybody who
was present, he demanded, in Il
sharp, unpleasant voice: "Sav,
mister, arc you advertising for a
boy?' The business man looked
at him Ior Il second and answered
81 want an older boy than you."
"Wha :"
81 want an older boy than you,'
answered the merchant, in a some
what louder voice.
"Oh,' answered the lad, as he
swung around and walked out.
"That,' said the merchant TO ne,
sis a sample Of the manner Of the
modern school boy. In my busi-
ness, you know, we depend almost
entirely upon the poIitcncss, quick
ness and adaptabiIity Of the young
fellows VIC have behind the coun-
ter. My customers ask me why |
change my boys so often. Certain
~ it is not to save money, for !
would be willing to keep them iG
they were worth keeping. The
first thing they ask me is what
wages | pay, and the next what
hours they will have to work.
They never think about nc or NV
business; all they want to know is
how much they can get out Of me-
Apparently they give nc no credit
for being able to teach them =
profitable trade; they only rcpard
nc as Il taskmastcr, who is to bc
mad" TO pay the highest price, give
the shortest hours and accept the
lowest quality Of service ."--Chris-

withdrawn.
At the instance of large number
of the members Col. Hoyt allowed
his namo to bo used.

placed before the conference for the

Prof. a. B. Stal worth, of Green

The temporary organization was
made permanent. The delegates
were then enrolled. Twenty five
counties we're presented and fifteen
had no representa- on.
Colonel Hoyt rel an address ar
raigning the dispe's sary law. Hero
garded the time as opportune for the
prohibitionists to nct. The advisa.
bility of having the address pub
lished evoked much discussion.
Mr.. Featherstone was opposed to
publishing the address unless modi-
fed. He regarded the charges as
too strongly stated.
Mr.. Brunson, to test the sense of
the convention, Moved to suggest
candidates for governor and lieuten-
ant governor.
Mr.. Hane moved to amend by in
Guiding all State officials.
MIR. Jones, of Newberry, said the
constitution, articln 6, prohibited the
nomination Of any candidates. He
believed the executive committee
would rule the prohibition candidates
out and not count their votes. He
was opposed to any nominations
Such a convention in his opinion was
undemocratic and unwise. He was q
prohibition;st and would vote for no
man who did not espouso their
81 cause.
Mr.. Smith was in favor of nomina-
tions. There wae nothing in tho
sconstitution Of the democratic party
Minhibiting such ac-jon. The section

Out from his home i'll heaven
The precious Savior went;
That he might save the children,
Ills life i'll toll he spent.
Yes, Jesus loved the children,
For them his life he gave;
JIG suffered on The cross
And lay then i'll the grave.
lie left the feast Of Matthew,
And walked the dusty way,
10 help little maiden
That needed him that day.
lhcre were five thousand people
Upon the mount one day;
Ihcy came to learn Of Jcsus
What he would have to say.
Then when the day was over,
And even time was come,
They came and said to Jesus,
"Just send the people homc;"
But Jesus saw tic children,
Diverse had come afar;
TO have his children suffer
HIS peace OF mind would mar.
lie took tho loavcs and fishes
a boy had brought that day,
And blessed and gave the people,
10 help them Oh the way;
Then when the meal was over.
And all the people fed;
'Go gather up the fragments,
That none be lost" he said.
When the disciples ask him
About that upper place,
lie took a little child
And held before their face:
"Fou must cease this contention
This struggle fierce and Wild
If you would enter heaven,
BE as this little child"
He took them in his bosom;
His hands were OH their head:
"Suifer the little children
TO come to me-" he said.
Then let them sing for Jesus
On, let them sing his love;
For they shall sing in glory
In glory-land above.
Then go and tell the story
Go tell it far and near
OF Jesus, King of glory,
Let all the people hear;
Then go and call the children,
Compel them to come in;
Go out i'll the broad highways
Out i'll the paths of sin.
Yes, go and work for Jesus,
Go work with all your might,
Go labor III the darkness,
And bring them to the light.
Then we should love the Savicr,
TO him our hearts should give;
Go labor i'll his vineyard
And serve him while we live.
