Felt Homelike.

We have young San Franciscoan
in our midst and she is honesick as
she can be for that city Of uncounta-
bic hills and innumersble hellotrope
hedges. Nothing in Washington
pleases her. We went 10 the matinee
the other day, and midway OF the
performance I heard from her gasp
of delight. She grasped her right
arm with her left hand and rubbed
the skin vigorously for moment or
two. Then the hopeless, honesick
look settled On her face again and
she sighed.
Il thought for a moment [ was
out home again." she said wistfully.
What made you think so, [ ask
ed.
On" said she. It was only
for a moment. Il 8asn really true;
but just for q moment was sure l

Wise Words for Young Men.

We never look upon bright young
man entering upon life without a
feeling of profound sympathy for
him; for we know that it is by no
means certain whether be will reach
the end of his course in safety. No
matter how we'll be has been trained,
nor how high his aim may be, he ls
bound to meet with temptations that
will test his character to the very
foundations of it. Lacking in ex-
perience, and in the practical wisdom
which nothing but experience can
bring, be will often be at a dlsad-
vantage in fighting the enemies OF
his soul: and sometimes he will be
likely to go down before an onset
which be is not prepared to meet.
Nothing can save him from such a
catastrophe except the fixed deter
mination to obey God at all hazards
and in all emergencies. Whenever
he: drops down from this high level
to position of mere prudential ex-
pe,diercy he is in danger cf being
lost. If any young man should
chance to read these words, we beg
him to ponder their meaning, and to
ask himself whether they do not hold
some lesson that may be of profit to
him.

Regulating Cotton Prices.

Before the Interstate Cotton Grow
ers' Association at Macon. Ga, re-
Gently. MIR. Pope Brown, President
Of the Georgia Agricultural Society,
discussing the cotton problem seid:
"Two years ago we started wheat
movement. The result was that
hundreds Ct thousands of bushels Of
wheat has since been raised ia this
State. It has put hundreds of thcus-
auds CT dollars into the pockets OF
the farmers. How can We chelpen
the cost Of the production Of cotton
or raise the price CT i? We have
got TO do one or the other. TIE man
who does the plowiag is entitled to a
good iving. Land is cheap. The
farmer can raise his mule cheaper
than he can buy him, be can raise bis
-four cheaper, his meat cheaper. The
Southern farmer has lot done his
duty uutii he feeds his family by his
own labor, nor until be has produced d
TIE food for the city people and
stopped the importation Of every
necessity of life into this section"
Where cotton growers conventions
bring forth such practical advice as
this they do good. Il is advice which
has been given for several years, and
which has been adopted here and
there with beneficial results to the
adopters, whatever the effects may
have been upon those persons who
failed to follow it. The q1estion of
the profitable price of cotton rests,
after all, upon the individual grower.

farmer has to be up early and late and

farmer has to be up early and late and
needs all the help he can get in order
to keep up with Lis work. This
extra work is performed by the
children of the farmer and hence
they have no time to attend school
during the busy season. The neces-
sites of the farmer during this sea-
son are such as to render him pow.
erless to spare the labor OF his chill
dren from the farm to send them to
school the full nine months even were
schoolhouse located at his very
door, therefore, We fail to see where
the business and fairness Of the CON,
parison comes in. Surely our neigh
Dor does not pretend to argue that
because the county of Richland, in
cluding the school district of C)lum-
bia, pays more money to tbs support
of her free schools than Lexington
the two counties should consolidate.
If it does, then it can with equal
force and logic argue that because
the gentlemen Of Columbia are forced
to attend the theatre in swallow tail
coat, 'sbile" shirt, low cut vest, kid
gloves and patent leather shoes, the
farmers of Lexington should be COM
PEELED to attend to their farm work
attired in the same style OF full
evening suit. There is just about
as much reason in the one conclusion
as there is in the other.
But this is not all. In Lexington
there are numerous high schools
which after the expiration OF the free
term, continue their sessions to the
end of the scholastic year as pay
schools, where the children OF those
parents who can afford it, attend.
Lexington, Leesville, Batesburg,
Swansea, Brookland, Irmo and other
towns and neighborhoods have -four
ishing schools of wide repute for ef-
fciency and thoroughness, with full
faculties of experienced and trained
educators and curriculums that will
compare favorably with any school
in the land, Lexington county has
no cause to be ashamed of her edu-
cational system but rather, when all
things are considered, it is a fit sub
iect for copgratulation. There must
therefore, be some strongerin incentive,
more logical reasons given for the
consolidation scheme before our peo-
ple will consent to it; and as this can
not be done. the scheme may be con-
slider to have met its death from the
weight of its own stupendous folly.

that when preacher fights the sins

WEEKLY MAKRET LETTER.

South ST. Paul, Nov l.
CATTLE-The stock and feeding cattle
market has frightened up quite a little
this week. Buyers have been quite
plentiful and have not been so particu-
lar in sorting as heretofore. While prices
on paper have averaged but very little
better in making sales we have been
enabled to work in common cattle that
could only be moved at low prices a
couple of weeks ago. The demand for
steer stuff has been particularly good all
week and offerings showing quality have
generally been snapped UP quickly. The
yards are well cleared of everything. We
could handle double the number of stock
and feeding cattle that we are getting
without affecting prices in the least. Our
butcher cattle market has been good
one this week. Local buyers have paid
steady prices all week in spite of the fact
that the markets have been lower and
mean in the East At this time good
quality butcher stuff might sell strong to
10 cents higher than last week. A con-
tinued good demand, together with light
receipts and the bulk of the offerings
common, have combined to keep our mar
ket good. Mich COWS steady and active.
HOGS-The hog market has been a
