He who acts quickly, thin king
himself so smart that he has no
need of taking usual precautions, is
liable to some day reverse the opin-
ion he holds of himself.
A builder in a small town was
walking down a street in which he
was having some buildings erected,
when he observed one of the men
standing on the soaffolding with his
hands in his pockets, smoking a pipe.
He went gently up the ladder, and,
stepping in front of him, said:
"Now, I've caught you. Well
have no more of this. Here's your
four days pay (it being Friday, and
you can consider yourself dis
charged"
The man pocketed the money and
went away rather quickly. Just
then the foreman came up, and the
builder told him what he had done.

should we hear them say, ooh, 1
can't stand anything so coarse"
Neither would we be surprised TO
find that class turn up their noses
when a dish of "'possum sop and
sweet potatoes" graced the table.
But in the evenings the farmer comes
home from his honest days work,
washes his hands and face and sits
down to the evening meal, prepared
by his wife and daughters, the steam

butter and rich milk just from the

of by the fashionable who dine at
unreasonable houses, turning night

dish partaken of and relished by the
gods. Maybe so we never saw it,
but we can vouch for hot pone, but

Almost as marked a change in the
customs of a century ago is noted in

half of the nineteenth century was
past the farmer class always ate
breakfast by candle light, and were
at the pillow or other work by the
time it was light enough to see no
idle bread was eaten. But since the
negro was freed, he enjoys his BASE ;
and many white people have quit the
farm and rent their lands to who.
ever they can get to cultivate them.
Times have changed to such an ex-
tent that 1 am constrained to think
they are sadly out of joint. At any
rate, they are not like they were be-
fore the war but maybe it is for
the best.
CUSTOMS OF MINOR IMPORTANCE.
1t was fashionable a hundred years
ago, and even at later period, to
have large families. It was not un-
common for people TO rear from ten

TO one defective, either in mind
or body. Civilization had not then
put on the frills that are now so
common. The people were natural.

Just for a riband to stick in his coat,
Found the one gift of which fortune bereft us,
Lost all the others she let's US devote;
They with the gold to give, doled him out silver,
So much was theirs who so little allowed:
How all our copper had gone for his service!
Rags-were they purple his heart had been proud!
We that had loved him so, followed him, honored MIN,
Lived in his mild and magnificent eye,
Learned his great language, caught his clear accents,
Made him our pattern to live ano to diel

He alone breaks from the van and the treemen,
He alone sinks 30 the rear and the slaves
We shall march prospering,-not through his presence;
Songs may inspirit us,-not from his Tyre;
Deeds will be done,-while he boasts his quiescenoe,
Still bidding crouch whom the rest tRde aspire:
Blot out his name, then, record one lost soul moro,
One task more declined, one more fOotpath untrod,
One more devils triumph and sorrow for angels,
One wrong more TO man, one more insult to God!

Never glad confident morning again!

Menace our heart ere we master his own;

CHARACTER AND POLITI,
CAL PRINCIPLES.

u.-MACON' Is CHARACTER N POLITI.
CAL PRINCIPLES.
Having given this brief sketch of
his life, I shall now say something
of Macon's character and political
principles. In politics, he was a
member of the original Republican
later known as the Democratic
party. Honesty, independence,
faith in the ability of the people to
settle properly all political questions,
and opposition to all unnecessary
(and perhaps some necessary appro-
priations, were his strong points po-
litioally.
He was democratic in the broadcast
and deepest of that word.
He opposed the adoption of the
United States Constitution because
he did not consider it democratic
enough, and refused to endorse the
work of the State Constitutional
Convention of 1885, chiefly because
the new Constitution did not pro
vide for animal elections, which he
considered ga fundamental principle
of republican liberty" "The peo-
ple," said he, 'Fshould pass upon the
acts of their representatives at least
once year. prefer the tempest Of
liberty to the calm of despotism 3"
Macon wished to keep all political
power directly in the hands the PEG
pie. More than once he complained
Of the constantly increasing power
of the executive department. of the
government. He would accept no
Office "not the gift OF the people or
of their immediate representatives
the Legislature. Twice he refused
a position in J~efferson's cabinet but
the insignificant Office, justice of the
peace, to which the people of his
county directly called him, was not
too small for him to accept.
One of his Congressional col.
leagues, who knew him as a friend
and rs a statesman, says that Macon
would ''trust the people further than
Jefferson would have ventured, far
beyond Washington, and to an ex-
tent that Hamilton would have pro
nounced anarchical."
Scoring the arts of the dema
gogue, however, he made no display
of his devotion to the people and to
their cause never made popular
harangues never canvassed his dis
triot to ask for the votes of his
constituents. An uncompromising

the nation that was TO make him
famous The Seventh Congress cleo
ted him (18O1) speaker of the House
of Representatives, which position
he held till 1902. In 1909 he posi-
lively declined to serve longer as
Speaker but nevertheless received
forty five of the 119 votes cast In
the House of Representatives he
served, being constantly reelected,
till 1916 when he was, without his
solicitation, transferred to the Sen
ate. There he remained thirteen
years, alwaysa leading member, and
acting President of the Senate after
the death of Senator Gaillard (Feb-
ruary, 1929 sill May, 1923. Then,
though reelected President pro tenn,
he declined the Office, knowing that
within a few months he would com
plete his SEVENTEEN year, at which
age he had previously decided to re-
tire from public life. He was in the
midst of a Senatorial term, but was
true to his purpose, and sent to the
Legislature of North Carolina his
resignation as Senator, trustee OF
the University, and n of the jus
tees of the peace for Warren cOun
ty. For thirty seven years he had
been his States most henored rep
resentative in the halls of Congress.
At that time no other man had been
honored by any State by being chosen
to guard it's interests at the Nations
Capital for SO many years consecu-
lively, and not until more than half
a century later did any State so
honor any man, the late Senator
Morrill,, of Vermont, being Macon's
only rival in this respect,
In 1888 Macon married Miss Han
nah PIummer, of Warren county.
She died a few years later, leaving
two daughters, whom he brought
up as accomplished ladies.
After 1923 he took no part in pO-
litical affairs until 1886, when he
presided over the State Constitu-
tional Convention. Serving as cleo
tor for the Van Buren, ticket in 1886
was his last public act. Death came
June 29th, 1882, and he met this grim
visitor as he had met the duties of life
calmly and philosophioally. He had
paid his physician asked two neigh
bors to make a plain coffin for his
body, and selected a barren ridge on
his plantation as the spot for his grave
Believing, as he had said years be-
fore when opposing an apprOpria-
ton to build a mausoleum to Wash
ington, that monuments are useless
since the invention of printing, his
grave is marked as he directed, only
by a pile of rough flint stones.

Written for The Progressive Farmer.

The first fifty years Of the nine
teenth century had passed without
any attempt being made to ameli-
crate the terrible condition of the
insane. No medical treatment was
given before the century was half
over. Violent cases were restrained,
that is to say, they were looked up or
chained. The harmless were allowed
TO wander about at will. In many
cases they were treated worse than
dumb brutes. 1t is easy for hu-
mainly TO become used TO suffering,
and then become tired of having to
a for their own blood and kindred.
But in the latter part of the first
half of the century

taking care of the insane, and so in

they passed a bill to build an asy.

some cause the building was not
ready for use until 1856. Many legis-
latOrs thought the building large
enough to contain all the insane we
would have for twenty years TO come ;
but before ten years expired another
wing had been added, and in ten
years more an asylum of double pro-
portions had been built at Morgan
ton. We now have room in the two
hospitals to treat 1900 patients.

NOW ITS
the OYSTER.

Tucson lovers of the oyster will
not be pleased to learn OF the decision of
the Boston state board OF health regard
ing that secculent bivalve. Not long ago,
the people of Marion, Mass, among
other ailments were afflicted with
typhoid fever. Now, if there's one thing
above all others which a real, live
Massachusetts, board OF health likes to
get after. and run down, it's fever. SO
the board repaired to Marion and with
microscopes, telescopes, chemical re-
agents, and biological apparatus, began
an inquiry into the cause of the disease.
The diet OF the victims was thoroughly
analysed, and it was found that oysters
had been eaten. The board then trailed
the oyster to its particular colony in the
ocean, and found beyond dispute that
the colony from which this parti-
cular oyster had been compelled to
migrate was infested by typhoid germs
resulting from the inflow OF sewage
from the smiling little town of Marion.
OF course the oyster Was condemned.
And he ought to be condemned 1t was
further found that all the other oysters
in that part of the ocean had quaran-
tined the Marion oyster, and had cut off
all commercial and other relations with
him. This too was very proper. For
the Marion oyster was found to be
covered with typhoid bacilli, which he
carried about with him in good society
and without compunction. The Boston
board, after gathering round him, pro-
nounced him very bad oyster indeed,
and published an edict the effect OF
which was to ostracize him and thus cut
off his malignant designs upon the in
habitants of Massachusetts in general
and Marion in particular.
We have nosympathy with the oyster
Any oyster that is what one might call
buggy, and who builds his home and
rears his colony under the oderiferous
outpour of sewer from even 30 intel.
lectual town as Marion, is certainly
an oyster that ought to be legisIated
against.
