1t happens to many man and wo-
man that in the absorbing demands
of business or professional life, of
home duty or tho claims of society,
there is a gradual failure Of moral
purpose or religious conviction. and,
while the life grows in one direction,
it as surely dsgenerates in another.
We can cultivate aay part OF our
natures we Will, Just as the gardener
or horticulturist, by selecting GER
tain qualities, gradually develops a
new kind Of potato or corn, new
variety of trawberry or apple. We
can make ourselves new kinds OF men

business or pleasure, books or music,
athletics or religion. Spiritual
things are not Of interest to US where
we do not cultivate them, just as
business becomes dull if we do not
give attention to it and try to make
it interesting. AS no man can be
strong unless he takes much exercise,
so no nature can be devout who does

The Uncertainty Of Negro Labor.
New Berne journal.

Whether because of education, or
the attraction of town and city, the
Southern negro seems to be more of
an uncertain labor element on the
farm as each year passes.
Some recent figures on this quss-
ton of negro labor in agricultural
matters. 10 OF interest as showing a
condition that many persons may not
know Of.
Cotton culture: which has been re-
garded as strictly a negro crop, that
is one which could hardly be culti-
waited, except through the negro, is
now becoming crop that white labor
is raising. Before the war cotton
was entirely raised by negro labor,
while now forty-five per cent. is
raised by whites.
In Virginia, five counties, with q
population of $4,000 blacks and 52,-
600 whites, at present produce 12,-
OO0,O pounds Of tobacco, against
$4,000, 900 pounds formerly raised.
In Kentucky, four counties with
1000 whites, and $500 blacks have
increased their tobacco yield in the
same time from 80, 900 pounds to 10,-
O00,O pounds.
In the entire State of Virginia
where the negro constitutes 3S per
cent. OF the population. the tobacco
crop has fallen in the past thirty
years from 121, 900, 900 pounds to 49,
600, 900 pounds.
While in Kentucky, where the
negro forms IA per cent. of the popu-
lation, the tobacco crop has increased
from 1OS,00O,000 to 221, 100000
pounds.
in Georgia and South Carolin. rice
culture shows similar losses. owing
to the uncertainty Of negro labor.
This does not show that education
and modern progress has helped the
negro in . most important particular,
namely. that Of making his labor a

The Governors Trying Position.
Wilmington Messenger.

tOu heSSeUS6E.
The Governor fares badly. When
he pardons criminals, thus intsrfer
ing with justice. he is blamed. When
he fails to pardon when it is asked for
he is held up as murderer. He is
evidently walking in a rugged and
narrow road. He is asked by Judges,
prosecuting attorneys and hundreds
of lawyers and citizens to either
pardon outright or to commute the
sentence of criminals who have been
duly tried and sentenced to severe
punishment. He investigates and re-
spends favorably to the requests Of
the petitioners. There comes much
criticism and the charge brought is
that justice is baked and crime is en-
couraged and the people are offended.
He is implored to pardon or commute
a criminal who has been sentenced to
be hanged until he is dead, and he
gives to the case the greatest possible
consideration, and after the most
patient, thorough scrutiny, he is fully
satisfied that the criminal is guilty
and richly deserves Ito d:" the
DEATH He orders the execution and
behold! he is charged with being a
murderer himself. When Governor
Aycock gives his careful attention to
aqusstion Of guilt or innocence, with
access to all possible facts, and after
most serious deliberation arrives at a
conclusion Of guilt, we have but little
doubt that he will be found to be cor
rect and to be abundantly sustained
by tho facts involved. II Council had

would have solicited and demanded

The South Not Poor.
Raleigh Morning Post.
The DanVille Bee saws:

The Danville Bee says:
"A Southern editor is trying to ex-
plain why the South is poor. The
fact is, he has undertaken to write on
a subject that need not be commented
upon, as tho South is not poor. She
has all the coal: all the oil. all the cot
ton, all the tobacco, the best climate
and the best people. What more
ought We expect?"
The Bee is as true as preaching.
The South is the richest spot in all
those resources essential to and which
form the basis of the wealth of a
nation that has yet been found. Nor
are the people Of the South as poor,
collectively or individually, as are the
people elsewhere, when extremes
are considered. We assert and do
not believe it can be successfully
contradicted, that there is more
poverty. more suffering. among peo-
pie in any one of large number Of
Northern cities than in the entire
South combined. There is poverty
and suffering upon IA far more general
scale among the people of England,
Germany, and other so-called progress
sivc European states than can be
found in the South. Our people As a
rule are not wealthy, but they are
free from the pangs which stalk in
columns throughout other sections !;
while our advantages for comfortable
living, the invariable result OF intel
lisence. faithful energy, are nowhere
saualsd on the earth.
No, the South is not poor-neither
are the people paupers. On tho con-
trary, there is a great general i'm
provement in the comforts enioved
by our people.

in which it is now kept. holding so
liters (about so quarts) and covered
with felt or wool, allow two liters to
escape hourly. Experiments are be-
ing made with silvered sheet iron
