The original arrangements of the GEM

nicely prepared, richly MANFRED and COW
cred with Kentucky blue grass, the ter
races and borders kept freshly turfed,
and the walls kept graded and graveled
that ornamental flowers and shrubbery
should be planted and nursed on the bor-
ders and plots prepared for that pur-
pose; that a rustic summer house should
adorn each corner: that iron benches
should be placed under the shade trees;
that a monument should be erected in
memory of the dead; an elevated iron pa

but for want of funds these plans have
not as yet been completed.
With a portion of the fifteen hundred
dollars appropriated by the Legislature

and workmanship, is sadly deficient. 1t
was, however, the best that could be Sc
cured for the money expended. Within
the past year, by the courtesy and kind
ness of the amateurs and the skating rink
in the city, the income from members OF
the society, has been supplemented by
the proceeds of entertainments given in
its interest. Much work has been done
on the grounds, and a beautiful iron pa

which is now being raised on stone
basis with a granite curb, the later do

By entertainments of various kinds,
under the auspices of the committee on

COTTON PRICES.

Saws the Clarkton Express:
off we had tobacco we would hold the best
urodas a little while, but if we had cotton we'd
so1 # as fast as we could haul it to the gin"
We are inclined to think that this is pretty
rood advice for the present state of affairs.
There is much risk in holding cotton as long as
# sells for more than ten cents a pound. If
we had an effective general organization of the
cotton growers, the situation would be much diff
ferent. Consider, for example, the statement of
Dr J. NJ. Aver, a former North Carolinian, now
q New York cotton broker:
"The situation now is one in which the plant
ers could, if they would, put themselves in abso-
1ute control. There is no cotton in the country,
and little is available from any source. Supplies
mist be procured from the coming crop, and if
this crop could be moved to market only as
fast as consumers would pay ten cents or more
for it, that price might be realized for practical
" every bale of cotton procured during the
coming year"
But we have no organization to effect this very
desirable arrangement, and as it is we believe
that it will be well for our cotton-growing read
ers to market as rapidly as possible so long as
the price is above ten cents. 1t will be observed
that the Government crop report for September
is highly favorable one.

School Opening.

Throughout the State schools are opening
and, to be sure, with larger rolls and fner-look-
ing student bodies than ever. We greet the re-
turning professors and their tribe of pupils. May
they have a great year of it.
Many a boy or girl is staying at home. Let
them be of good courage. Work is the great edu-
Gator. Teachers will do, but employers and tasks
are such instructors. And then, too, there are
books and papers in reach. Let no one despair
because he cannot go to school. There was a
time when many of the great men could not spell,
and they were just as great as the great men
since. It is neither the book nor the school that
makes the man; it is the spirit of his will.
There is quite a chance that some of the boys
now leaving home will depend upon their educa-
ton to get them along Let them beware. It is
manhood that tells. Let them also beware that
they use we'll their school time. In the new free
dom of boarding-school life their moral fibre will
be tried. It will be quite as easy for one of them
to ruin himself as it will for some boy on farm
or in machine-shop. Some men have money and
time and some have not; but no one leads a
charmed life; no one can afford to play with him
self. There is no privileged class in this respect.

Two Modern Crusades.

The movements to protect and preserve the
birds and to protect and preserve the trees will,
we hope, gather to them the support and allie
glance of all our readers. The man who makes
a tree grow where no tree was, unless that place
should be of much more value for growing other
things, is a benefactor of mankind. All through
out the South the wonderful growth of fine lum-
reproducing trees has been sacrificed in a man
ner that may well be described as reckless. The
pines are going now as rapidly as the walnuts
went not many years ago. It does not take many
years for the forest in this fertile and well-wa-
tered section of the world to reproduce itself.
But the leaving of d~ecaying branches and unused
logs to be food for forest fires, and the utter in
difference of those who cut the lumber to the
preservation of the young shoots and growing
saplings have a very strong tendency to cover
forested areas, that have been cleared of lumber,
with a second growth of sourwood, dogwood,
hawthorns, brambles, vines, and such like, whose
only recommendation is their hardness. The
general interest in forestry and the plain eco
nomic value of bringing on a second growth of
valuable timber are working a very decided
change in this regard. AS for the birds, they
need no defense. This section of the United
States especially was, at one period of its his
tory, immensely rich in bird life. In various
areas the number OF these cheerful nelghbors has
in recent years been greatly diminished. Now,
however, that attention has been called to it, there
is practical unanimity in the feeling that the
birds must be protected. Public sentiment is de-
handing laws to that effect, and throughout the
Union the various States are enacting such laws.
There ought also to be a campaign of education
to develop a sentiment which will prevent the
wanton destruction of birds, their young and
their nests, on the part of careless boys.-Nash-
vile Christian Advocate.

The Love of Nature.

Of all esthetic sentiments love of nature pos
sesses the advantage of being the one which,
even though pushed to excess, does not disturb
the equilibrium of body and mind. Love of nature
is the sole emotion which is absolutely hygienic.
One may die of an exaggerated love of music,
etc., one simply becomes healthy from an. exag-
gerated love of nature. Air and light! The
Greeks we're right to philosophize in the open
air, in the gardens and groves. A ray of sunlight
sometimes helps one more to understand the
world than an eternity of meditation in some
gray room. The emotion that arises from the
contemplation of a landscape, of a sunset, of a
stretch of blue sea, of a snow-capped mountain,
or even the blue dome of the sky itself, is abso-
lutely pure, neither too depressing nor immoder-
ately gay. In the presence of nature ones esthet-
ic sensibilities become the means of refreshing
and resting one instead of fatiguing one, and, if
nature has it's moods of sadness, they contain a
touch of the infinite which enlarges the heart.
The immensely of nature and of the alI-enveIop-
ing heavens becomes, for those who feel it, a
constant source of stoical serenity.-Great
Thoughts.

Stay in the Country.

In the meantime it remains a fact that the
country is the best place in the world for the
man who is compelled to labor with his hands.
The slightly better wages paid in the factories
may for a time allure him so that he may be
willing to turn his back upon the farm; but let
a few years go by, bringing the day when he can
no longer work in the shops as he once did, and
awakening him to the startling fact that he has
saved little or nothing for the rainy day, and it
is inevitable that he should cast his eyes back to
the country with intense longing, and the regret
that he did not stay where he could gain a home
of his own and be a man among men.-Farm
Journal.
