THE CONGRESSIONAL FREE SEED"
DISTRIBUTION.

We do not think that the late J.
Sterling Morton made especially bril-
liant record as Secretary of Agrioul.
ture, but he was thoroughly right in
his opposition 80 the Congressional
free distribution of garden seed, and
1t is to be regretted that he did not
suooeed in crushing out this bit of
humbuggery and paternalism. The
distribution of seed of new varieties
for experimental culture Is COM
mendable, but az at present con
Quoted the free seed distribution is q
farce. It will not be stamped out
for a long time, however, because
the average Congressman believes
that a package of onion and kale
seed sent by his secretary to Farmer
Brown will cover a multitude of sins
in Browns view. We're it not for
this belief, the scheme would be
doomed. 1t is a great pity that the
farmers did not give Mr.. Morton
sufficient support TO enable him to
win his fight.

THE SOUTH ATLANTIC QUARTERLY.

The second number of the South
Atlantic Quarterly, published by
DR.. John S. Bassett, Durham, N. CD
is before US. The first article is by
the editor, a thoughtful discussion
of "why there is not a more vital
literary activity in the South" DIR.
Kilgo contributes a ~foroeful paper ON
'The Christian Basis of Citizenship" "
from which we have clipped a mum
Der of the most striking paragraphs.
''The Reconstruction of Southern
Literary Thought" is the problem
handled by Henry N. Snyder. DIR.
VIM. E. DOdd, in a paper that will
doubtless attract attention, gives
some unpleasant facts and figures as
to North Cardinals Revolutionary
reoord-''the almost shameful leth-
argY of North Carolina" as he puts
it, "during the long period of 1777
to 1880" The book reviews are inter-
esting, the best being that in which
''The Leopard's Spots is accurately
weighed in the balance. These ar
~ticles, with others that might be
named, make this q very attractive
number. 1.-THE South Atlantic Quar-
terly" 1s a really creditable pubIioa-
ton, and deserves the support of all
interested in Southern literature.
The subscription price is 90 a year.

The Biblical Recorder reports that
there have been thirty two "aooi-
dents" on the s. A. L. Railway since
January LIST. There is a strong
popular demand for an explanation
of this chronic condition of affairs.
The Corporation Commission would
do the travelling public a great favor
by looking into the matter.

tsTHE INpUsTRIAL AID EDUoATION-

1.-THE AND
AL INTERESTS OF OUR PEOPLE PARA
NoUNT TO ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
OF STATE POLICY, is the motto of The
Progressive Farmer, and upon this
platform it shall rise or fall. Serving
no master, ruled by no faction, cir
cumscribed by no selfish or narrow
policy, it's aim will be 20 foster and
promote the best interests OF, the
whole people of the State. Is will be
true TO the instincts, traditions and
history of the Anglo-Saxon race. On
all matters relating specially TO the
great interests it represents, it will
speak with no uncertain voice, but
will fearlessly the right defend and
tmpartially the wrong condemn. -

The Thinkers.
THE EDUCATION OF THE CITIZEN.

There have been in this world
great men. They have had great
thoughts, and have uttered these
great thoughts. They live, in some
sense immortal, in these great
thoughts. The worlds true history
is it's intellectual history, and it's in
telleotual history has been written
by it's great leaders. If you ask
what Palestine was, you look to it's
prophets if you ask what Greece
was, you look to it's poets and it's
philosophers if you ask what
Rome was, you look to it's great
statesmen and jurists; if you ask
what Italy was, you think of Dante !;
of England, you think of Shake
speare; of France, you think of
Rousseau or Voltaire or Victor
Hugo. The great men of past ages
have done great thinking, and their
thoughts live in literature. The
good citizen, he who is to have the
power to direct or participate in di.
disecting the destinies Of a great
nation, must know something of
men. A book is not a dead
thing, it is a living man. A
library is not a mausoleum, it is
the abode of the living. We go
into our library and ask, now Milton,
now Shakespeare, now Dante, now
Homer, now Plato, now Aristotle, to
talk to US. All the wise men of
the world are on the these
shelves; wiser than they were when
they lived, for now they are wise
enough to speak when you want
them to speak, and wise enough to
keep silent when you want them to
keep silent. The educated man, the
voter, or the wife who will influence
the voter, needs to know the great
thoughts of the great thinkers. He
needs to know literature.
And what in all these departments
he needs to know is, not the external,
but what the philosophers call the
subjective-what l will call the vital.
He needs to know, not names of
books, but the spirit in the books ;
not the dates of history, but the
trend of events in history; not the
mere natural forces, but their ex-
preston and their 9 ordination and
their cooperation 4; not the names of
boundaries and States, but what
various countries, especially what
his own country and it's immediate
neighbors, stand for not mere alpha.
bet and words, but how to use words
so as to express the mind that is in
him, and how TO understand words
SO that he can comprehend the mind
that is in another man. Thus the
educated man must know language,
geography, science, history, litera-
ture. And it is the function of the
State to teach these things, because
these things r necessary to make a
good citizen of a State
Is there anything elseP Certainly.
Almost the first requisite of good
citizenship is that the citizen shall
be able to support himself. He may
have large information, excellent
ideas, good judgment he may be a
good talker; he may even be a good
listener but if he is dependent on
the charity of the public he is not a
good citizen. It is the function,
therefore, of the free State to fur
nish such elements of education as
will enable this man to be a self-sup.
porting citizen of the United States.
How far industrial education should
go is a question which I do not I'm

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The cotton
trading today was on very moderate
scale at prices showing no very marked
changes. On the one hand light frosts
occurred in Mississippi. and the cables
were f1rmer than expected.
While some local shorts covered, and
the South also sent buying orders, Wall
Street appears to have sold March. The
temperatures were generally rising at
the South, and the Signal Service pre-
dicted fair and warmer weather through
out the cotton belt. Greeks were SELL
ing against buying of the actual cot
ton.
The market closed steady. with quota
tions l to higher. as compared with
yesterdays closing prices
