WHAT THEY KNEW OF LINCOLN.

Youths Companion.
The unconscious humor of ignorance
will never cease. Perhaps the distorted
IDEAS concerning a popular idol which
prevail among the crank and file' &C
count in part for the wild growth Of
legend in the course of generations,
around a famous name.
A newspaper prints some answers to
quests asked concerning Lincoln at a
written examination of candidates for
the New York police force. The appli-
cants were asked to write all they knew
about Lincoln, and the following was the
result in two cases.

though not SO fresh as that obtained
from higher elevations, serves for all
plantation urpoSes-animals, work
men, etc. 1t requires to be pumped
to a higher level, but this supply fills
a want that has long existed, and dur
ing times of drought, like the present
very dry season, has proved to be
worth all it has cost. The same sue

scarce, and mountain springs become

tracted drought.
The lee side of Hawaii has long been
known as the breeding ground of some
of the finest fish of this group. Dur
ing recent years both Chinese and Jap
anese have taken unmolested possession
of this side of the Island, from Kohala
to Kau. and by the use Of fine nets
made of mosquito nettings, which cap
ture the smallest fishes, have nearly
exterminated the choice fishes that
formerly -abounded there. The natives
are thus robbed Of one OF their chief
sources of food, and bitterly complain
of the destruction of their staple food.
So far no law or police have been able
to check this destruction of fish: 1t is
to be hoped that the United States
fish commissioners now here may find
some means to check the plumber that
still continues unabated.-H. NJ. W., In

RURAL FREE DELIVERY AGAIN

The Progressive Farmers plea for
the extension Of the system of rural
free delivery in this State at once
struck ii responsive chord.
The Madison Enterprise common
dcd our article to its readers and
urgel the people of that mountain
county to work for the establish
ment of one or more routes there
The Charlotte Observer, knowing
the success OF the routes already es-
tablished in progressive MeckIen-
burg, quoted our editorial and com.
mented as follows: "An Of this
suggests that the number of free
delivery routes in this county should
be largely increased. 1t has the
good roads and population on them
is thick for u Southern community.
The people along the routes already
established are delighted with the
system, and by effort these routes
could be greatly multiplied, to the
great benefit of the people whom
they would reach
The WaynesvilIeC Courier says that
the system will probably be inaugu-
rated in Haywood at an early date.
The LOuisburg Times copied sew

ABOUT HOLDING COTTON.

Just after the price of cotton
dropped below ten cents early in the
marketing season, a number of u
esteemed contemporaries published
long and IabOred editorials to show
that Immediately after Christmas
cotton would bound high above the
ten cent mark and there remain till
spring. "Hold your cotton was
the Oft-repeated advice of these self
constituted guardians of the farmer.
Doubtless some tillers of the soil
thought they were getting superior
papers because the editors OF the
periodicals aforesaid we're qualified
to advise farmers upon such points,
whereas old reliable farm papers
such as The Progressive Farmer,
were not telling farmers that the
part of wisdom demanded that they
hold for higher prices.
But now we note that the news
papers afOre mentioned are not in
dulging in any self-cOngratulatOry
remarks as to their prophecies.
Whenever their predictions come
true, they Immediately herald it
abroad that through their superior
wisdom they have saved the agri-
cultural interests so many thousand
dollars. Why shouldn't the rule
work both ways?
Perhaps after all the paper that
makes fewer predictions but never
leads its readers into the ditch, is as
safe a guide as the false prophet.

VOL XVI.

Last week The Progressive Farmer
entered its sixteenth volume. The
year just past has been a good one
with Us and we enter the new volume
with bright prospects.
If we know u own heart, we de-
sire only to keep the paper in the
path of independence and courage
marked out for it in its first issue,
a. shown in the paragraph kept
standing in column l. We do not
expect to have the unvarying ap-
prevail of any reader We expect to
make some mistakes we expect at
times to be misunderstood. But the
star shall guide US, nevertheless, and
our mistakes shall be of the head,
not of the heart.
And as the paper is not infallible,
neigther is it an ideal n in other
respects. We know that improve
ments can be made and if sub
subscribers stand by US as they
should these improvements will be
made.
And how can the reader aid? BY
renewing his own subscription
promptly at expiration, and putting
the paper into new homes in his
neighborhOOd. We think that there
are few readers who cannot send H.
at least one new subscr ption during
the year upon which we have now
entered.
Suppose the editor were to 60 to
each reader personally and say to
him Here are two ways in which
you can help The Progress veFarmer.
You can watch the date on your
label and renew promptly when your
subscription expires. You can look
oven your neighborh0od and send Us
at least one new subscription this
year This message Is none the less
real and earnest because we deliver
it to you through the medium of "a
printed page; it is the request that
we make OF you and we trust you
will heed it.
We are not infallibIe; we have
made mistakes and Will make new
ones during this year. But the
paper will serve no master, will be
ruled by no faction, and the mistakes
will be made solely because we fail
to see Alright the best interests of our
constituency.
Farmers of North Carolina and
adjoining States, The Progressive
Farmer is your paper, "'devoted to
every interest of the farmer and his
family" You IA do your part by
giving it your individual support
and working for its wider circulation
and increased influence.
