The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-08-04

The preacher who denounces, as he should, the
sin of worldliness, manifested in dancing, theatre
going, and gambling, certainly vitiates the effect
by saying nothing concerning the disregard of
financial obligations, social impurity and eco
nomic tyranny, all of which are worse, if sin can
be graded, than dancing and theatre going. We
have known men to talk I'D sepuchral Mortified
tones of the Christmas giddinesses Of gay young
things and at the same time dodge a grocery store
where an unpaid unrecognized bill stares them
at the young people talking in church, and at the
same time talk a neighbours good name into bis
tiers. Here is a call for the pulpit to exercise
some OF it's wise specializing functions.-Ralelgh
Christian Advocate.

Consideration for the Beast.

One man bitches his horse or mule and goes
on about his business for hours, not caring
whether the animal is in the broiling hot sun or
in the shade. Another man chooses a good shady
spot for a hitching place and as the shadows
change goes back to see if his animal is still In
the shade. There is a whole lot of difference in
the make up of those two men. "a merciful man
regardeth the life of his beast."-Monroe En-
quirer.

An article on page IL emphasizes afresh the
seriousness of the labor problem in North Caro-
lima. Intensive farming is the only way out.
The manure and fertilizer that has heretofore
been put in two acres may be concentrated on
one, and, with steadily increasing fertility, the
one good acre may before many years give the
Weld of two poorer ones, with only half the hand
labor of the old extensive system. But stock
must be kept if soil fertility is to be main
tanned.

was published in last weeks Times :
at is q splendid move in the right

move on your part will inspire some
of our monied men of the State to do
something also along this line. Our

boys south of the Mason and Dixon
line, our boys, our future dome de-
Tenders, deserve institutions Of learn

We wish that we we're able to con-
tribute sum sufficient to complete a
four-years' term in both colleges for
the winners, and we deeply regret
that we are not in financial position

started them on the road to an educa-

PROPOSED LEGISLATION.

water overtopped our levees and sub
iected us to disastrous overflow.

and of every reasonable effort to
maintain them, but there is limit
to our resources, and within this linz
it let us confine ourselves. Absolute
requirements we should endeavor to
provide for. What we most need is
closer scrutiny Of our expenditures.
With this Wa may considerably mod
crate the proposed bond issue.
Clause No 2. is good suggestion.
In fact any plan for collection of the
cotton tax that carries with it fees
less murificent than that now prevail
ing would be an improvement.
Clause No. might be omitted.
More attorneys means more salaries.
Let the effort be directed to fewer
salaries and more dirt.
Clause No. 4, as to evasion Of cot
ton tax, will be generally endorsed.
Clause No. 5, as to protection Of
levees, will aso have public approval.
Clause No. 6 would imply that the
secretary and treasurer of the Leves
Board had in the past been remiss in
giving his personal attention to the
duties Of the Office. II more stringent
enactment be needed to secure this,

A Plea for the Drummer.


Warmly press his jeweled ripper,
Ask him how he fares today;
Speak to him in accents clipper,
List to all he has to say;
Great the envoy from the oenters.
From the marts of every land
Lo, behod the drummer enters
With his sample case in hand.
For you will not see him ever;
Some day he'll be laid away,
With his little yarn together
Hidden far from light of day,
Then remorse your peace will scatter,
If you'd ever give him pain;
And you'll miss his merry chatter
When the robins nest again.
Harken, then, o merchant Croesus
To his merry little tt le;
Think of home joys that he misses
In his life upon the rail;
Think what you would do without him
And his grip and sample case
What a charm there is about him
From his toes to smiling face:
He it is that ever brings in
All the latest news and best,
Makes you buy the very things in
Which you knew you d ne er invest ;
Calls you" Tom Dick or" Jimmy, "
Tells you all the latest news;
If you re not in first rate trim, he
Quickly drives away the blues.
Greet him then with welcome cheer
And when his race is run,
When at last Of life he's weary
And his last yarn he has spun,
Plant him meath the weeping willow
Sign of all that's sad and meek,
With grip sack for a pillow,
Aand rock upon his cheek.

The Vioksburg Herald is the best
daily paper published in the State.
Editorially it measures with most OF
the large daily papers of the country.
The only reason why the management
does not increase it's size and publish
the full associated news reports and
other features of the larger dailies, is
because. the people of the Stats do not
give it the patronage it deserves.
This is partly due to the the lack Of
train service but mostly to the idea
that prevails in rlaa5 minds that the
best can always be found outside of
home. Mississippi needs strong
daily paper. Men of brains, push,
capital and enterprise can be found
