ONE MoBE BOY FOB THE DUST HEI

The News and Observer, Ralele
n. c., Of May 9Th, contains the folio.
ing item, which was read by thouSan1
of people in North Carolina and dl
forgotten:
"a thirteen-year-old boy in Sa'
land County was convicted Of Stealq
stationery from a Gibson merch'n
The judge re~gretfully sent him TO =
chain-gang to associate with harder
criminals"
And so the old, sad story repeaS !
self in ever-varying form, and the =
ofense against which God and MAUI
have pronounced the ~severest OF ]
curses is again committed in a Cnn
tian state. Has not the time come J
some force in society to find sou
thing better to do with weak, helplS
neglected, erring boys than to con's
them to the hardening school OF
chain-gang? Think of a great o@l

A THOUGHT FOB THE WEEK.

Yes, poor Louis, Death has found
thee. Miserable man! thou "hast done
evil as thou couldst:" thy whole exist
ence seems one hideous abortion and
mistake of Nature; the use and mean
ing of thee not yet known. Frightful,
o Louis, seem these moments for
thee. And yet let no meanest man lay
fattering JUNCTION to his soul. Louis
was a Ruler; but art thou not also
one? His wide France, look at it
from the Fixed Stars themselves not
yet Infnitude), is no wider than thy
narrow brick-feld where thou too didst
faithfully, or didst unfaithfully. Man,
"Symbol of Eternity imprisoned into
Timer" it is not thy works, which are
all mortal, infinitely little, and the
greatest no greater than the least, but
only the Spirit thou workest in, that
can have worth or continuance

XIV.

Some time ago we spoke of Wood
row Wilson, the gifted young South
erner who has recently become Presi-
dent of Princeton University, as being
"of North Carolina ancestry" This,
we suppose, was a slight error. He
was born in Staunton, Va, but his
father was once pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Wilmington
and Woodrow himself attended David
son College in this State. The South
is justly proud of the fact that the
greatest men of the country are au-
thority for the belief that DR.. Wilson
will execute worthily and well the du-
ties of the high Office in which he sue
ceeds such a long line of distinguished
men.

Mr.. J.P. Alexander's chess article
seems to have excited considerable in
terest, if we may judge by the num-
Der of replies received. Chess or cheat
is not, as Mr.. Alexander seems to
think, degenerate oats; nor a kind of
oat monstrosity, as Mr.. Barbrey's in
genious theory would Indicate; but a
species of bronze grass, itself subject
and the oat also subject to what Mr..
Barbrey calls "the universal law in
nature that like begets like" From
the day of creation until now man has
eel 1.-The herb yielding seed, and the
fruit tree yielding fruit, each after
his kind" through all the ages it has
been true that whatsoever a man SOW
eth that also shall he reap" If the
ground contains oat seed alone the
reaper will get nothing but oats; if
chess seed is there chess will be reaped,
provided conditions favor it's growth.
Sometimes they do not, as Prof. EN-
cry explains. Men do not gather
grapes of thorns or figs of thistles ;
neither do they harvest cheat from
Oat seed.

The educational rallies mentioned
in our State News columns will doubt
less accomplish much good, and we
hope that every reader of The Pro
gressive Farmer who can aid them in
any way will esteem it a privilege to
do so. For it is a privilege and an
honor worth the seeking, that of help
ing forward in any degree the cause
of public education in the South. This
truth is very neatly and forcibly ex-
pressed by DR.. G. AIphonso Smith, of
Louisiana, (soon to become a teacher
in our State University, in these
words: Not for the last twenty-five
years has there come to the men and
women of the South so fruitful an
opportunity for civic service on a
large scale as is offered by the new
movement in behalf of our common
schools"
And just in this connection let us
propose three cheers for Moore Coun-
ty, in recognition of her magnificent
work for the library movement. Our
Moore readers are to be congratulated
on the progressive spirit shown by
their educational leaders, and QUIZ
readers in other counties should set up
Moore's example as an ideal to push
forward to.

We hear that in several North Caro-
lima counties recently farmers have or
ganized cooperative cotton oil mills.
This is as it should be. With proper
management they will pay handsome
ly. To convert any of the raw mate
rial of the farm into a higher. form
into beef or butter or wool or oil
means two profits instead Of one ftr

adopted by the Edgecombe farmers
for starting of these oil mills.

Harry Farmer seems to be in favor
of applying to the schools of each
race the amount of school taxes, paid
by that race. This idea is undoubted>
ly popular in some sections of the
State, and some very plausible argu-
ments are advanced in its behalf. But
whatever the advantages of the plan,
careful study has convinced the writer
that it also has some very serious dis
advantages and some positive dangers
These we hope to set forth in an early
number of The Progressive Farmer.
Several decidedly grave questions are
involved, some that do not appear on
the surface. Let not the reader form
his opinion hastily or without due con-
sideratiOn.

Good news travels FAST and thou
sands of bad back sufferers in Tucson
are glad to learn that prompt relief is
within their reach. Many a weak,
lame and aching back is bad no more,
thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our
citizens are telling the good news Of
their experience with the Old Quaker
Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
Mrs. M. F. Blanton, of 10 North
Mccormick street, Prescott, Arizona,
says: Il have had attacks of kidney
complaint for several years, not con-
stantly, but coming on every now and
then, some of them laying me UP for
two weeks at time. Whenever
caught cold it settled right in my kid
neys and severe suffering was sure to
follow. AS rule it was accom-
panied by dizzy spells and nervous
headaches, and naturally ran down
physically, felt tired all the time, and
was actually in misery. / at last be-
came alarmed about my condition, and
was always on the lookout for some
means to check the symptoms, but
met with very Indifferent success until
| went to the Brisley Drug Co.'S store
FIR Doan's Kidney Pills and tried
them. They helped me from the first.
the treatment brought such genuine
benefit that feel like a different per-

Hole.

GALLON. O.. Oct. 29.-The at
tempt to set a pole of the Gallon Tele-

Germ, in an alley adjoining the property
of Thomas Flanery almost created a
riot here. ss4i
Flanery brougat out j shotgun, lad
it beside the hole and with scoop
shoyeled the dirt into the hoe as fast
as the men could dig it out. He warn
ed the men to stop digging, and when
they paid him no heed he struck two
of them over the head with heavy
club. The men then quit work until
afternoon and got warrants for Flan-
ery's arrest.
He disappeared and the men again
went to work, when Mrs. Flanery came
out and jumped into the hole while her
daughter stood guard with a shovel.
The foreman then ordered the men to
dig another hole, and they started to
obey when son, Albert Flanery, ap-
peared over the top of a high board
fence armed with horse pistol. This
stopped operations again, and another
warrant was got for the sons arrest.
When the police took him in charge
the men again went to work, and again
Mrs. Flanery and daughter and younger
son appeared and put up great fight.
It required. the whole telephone force
to get the hole deep enough. Then
the crowd helped to carry the pole to
, the hole and it was set amid rousing
cheers. A policeman stood by.
