THE FARMS.

Constantly the proof is multiplying
that the agricultural interests are suf-
fering and that the farm workers are
crowding to the cities. 1t is SO in
Great Britain. a dispatch from Lon
don on the 29th of April 1901, to the
New York Tribune, which we respect
fully commend to the study of the Raj
eigh Post, gives this: The purely ag-
ricultural villages of Great Britain
are slowly but steadily becoming de-
populated. At the same time the big
cities and urban districts in the manu-
featuring localities continue to increase
in population. These two facts are
proved by the census returns so far as
they have been published. The grad
ual movement of population from coun-
try to town, which has been very no.
ticeable during the last decade, seems
likely to go on"
The increase in the urban population
is vastly beyond what the country in
crease is and it applies to both Great
Britain n the United States. The
people in Britain, says the dispatch.
have not YET begun seriously to on
slider the way in which a solution of the
overcrowding problem is to be arrived
at" At present England buys abroad
the greater part of the food it on
sumes, while the farms lie uncultivated
to some extent and the laborers take
themselves to the already crowded
towns and cities. 1t is not a pleasant
outlook. The crowded condition may
be seen in Chicago and how the coun-
try people cause it. Mr.. H. B. Fuller.
writes this:
1.-TWO million country people live in
Chicago and fancy that they make a
city. S~even-eighths of u people are
totally. without the urban tradition. OF
the native half the great bulk are from
the small towns and farms OF the Mis-
sissippi valley"

A WISE

The Messenger gave glimpses of
what certain noted northern preachers
said of the south after taking a flying
visit and looking into the eyes of some
southrons. They may have been mis-
led sometimes. for all men in the south
do not see alike or think alike. There
are men here. who have forgotten the
great war. who know nothing of the
great questions involved in it, and that
are so perverted since by northern
writer's. as there are southern men
who were never true to the great Sec
ton and have been trading or or the
lookout ever since for personal ad-
vantage. Such men might leave
wrong impressions with men of the
north who thought them faithful and
sound opponents of the genuine opin-
ions of the intelligent in southland. We
observe that an English gentleman"
who is a scholar also, has written to
the New York Times as to Rev. DIR.
Parkhurst's view OF southern Shift
what he writes:
"Then the south is poor still in the
sense of a general equality of wealth
and manners-in the absence of the CO.
lossal fortunes which many regard
as so great a ena to society-and
the equal absence of the desire for
daily novelties in religion, fiction and
social appointments. Our is
narrow in the sense that the southern
people a been confined by circum-
stances to few books and few studies,
but in this time of splashy smattering
in literature it is not necessarily the
worse"
Wisely said. 1t is a good thing some
times to be anticipated. or an old-timer,
and faithful to ancient traditions and
dear ancestral faiths. 1t is a fine thing
not to be a victim of a scholastic craze
or OF the new-fangled ideas o fthe time
or of screeching "'Jingoism" or of in
Vulnerable fads. We note that the au-
thor of the article in the Times is
