ADVERTISING THE SOUTH.
Good Work of the Southern Far
Magazine, of Baltimore.

With a view to sounding the senti-
ment toward immigration to the south
and southwest Of farmers and other
men in the north and west, and toward
developing a greater interest IN that
subject the Southern Farm Magazine,
Of Baltimore, recently addressed let
ters Of inquiry to a large number of
it's northern and western readers.
Many replies have been received and a
number Of the typical ones are pub
lished in the February issue Of the
Magazine. They reveal a lively inter-
est in the south, determination to
visit it, preliminary to probable per-
manent settlement, and a desire to
make its promise known to others.
The replies also contain practical sug-
gestions for agencies working for
southern development. Extracts from
the letters follow:
Howard Hamilton, Biddeford, Me-:
IF southern railroads would take the
means in the east for inducing the peo-
pie to go south that the western rail-
roads used twenty or twenty-five
years ago to induce people to go west,
a desirable class of people might be In
terested, and the east and the south
become as closely allied through rela-
tives and friends, as are the>east and
the west. I'll venture to say that ev-
cry town in Maine is represented
somewhere in the west by one or more
Of it's sons or daughters"
Cyrus T. Skeppoie, Bangor, Me-: 1T
has always appeared to me that If the
railroads in the south cared to people
their section with northern people they
would do it by placing the resources
found there before them in a proper
way" ..- ......
J. M. Asker, Creston, ILL.,: II intend
to take a trip south before long and
see the country, as I believe that is
the best place at present. Land here
is selling from 500 to $3.50 an acre, and
winters are long and cold"
Ira S. Reed, Deleven, Ia: Il have
made a number Of visits south as far
as Galveston, Tex, and like the south
very much. If / were younger man
I would settle there"
DR.. James r. Kingsley, Sheboyegan,
Wis: Il have made up my mind to in
vest in the south somewhere, and at
the present time am in correspondence
relative thereto

farm and will move to Peoria, but ex-
pect to visit the south and look for an
investment"
D. Cole, Barre, Mass: "Good people
are owners Of property here who might
be induced to go south If favorably
impressed. We are ourselves In the
same situation, desirous Of making a
change If we could be suited. I was

regard to going south"

G. H. Steele, Grand Rapids, Mich: ~

be good place for my business. I in
tend to see the country as soon as
can"
]. w. Huett, Ottawa, ILL.,: IT would
urge you to use your influence to get
the railroad companies having an In
terest in the settling Of the unoccupied
lands Of the south to make some ar
rangements to have an agent In this
vicinity. We have now here an agent
or two from Iowa lands, one for Min.
nesota and Dakota lands, another fol
Canadian lands, another doing some
business in Texas lands, and there has
been sold to citizens Of this county
within a year several thousand acres
of land. Now, I believe the south car
offer them better bargains than they
are getting in these places and can.
not see why it's lands should not sell
here. hope next summer to be able
to visit some parts Of Virginia, NORTH
Carolina and Tennessee, and to do g
little toward calling the attention OF
my friends to that region"
F. o. WithroW, Geneseo, ILL.,: u

expect to do so sometime in the neal
future"
F. ]. Niswonger, Trowbridge, ILL.,:
IT have fine hundred-acre farm thai

good income; but the climate here Is
too changeable, as you may know, or
ten 40 to 45 degrees in eight or ter
hours. I think such great changes II
temperature are very hard on the
health Of people and live stock. If
could find a good stone quarry wei
situated In the southern states I would
sell my farm and engage in the quar-.
rying business altogether"
Erva L. Durant, Leominster, Mass.
II have learned a great deal about the
south and it's resources. My folks have
been very much interested and have
thought they would like to live south.
l.. J. Stamm, Alta. Iowa: IT am al
ways advocating the south to my
friends and will try to persuade some
Of them to move south instead of NORTH
and west"
Allen Frost, Rich Hill, O.: II think

see the south the coming winter"

Overman tide. Overman gained four
votes on the next ballot and Watson
lost five. On tho final ballot another
vote was lost to Watson and when the
result was tailed, Overman had 7S
votes, q clear majority, and he was de-
clared the choice of the caucus. the
result was greeted with tremendous
cheering on the floor and in the gal
leries. Webb, on behalf of Craig,
moved to make the nomination unan-
imous and it was carried with entire
enthusiasm. Overman and his unsuc-
cessful rivals were sent for and were
put up to make speeches. All spoke
with spirit and animation and every
utterance was greeted with applause.
On joint ballot in the legislature Fri

YORKVILLE, s. C.y~
WEDNESDAY, FEBR'Y. 4, 1903.

THERE is not much use in making
suggestions with regard to the dispen-
sary law, not so long as the dispen-
sary system has such complete con-
troll of the state; out if the legislature
would grant just one concession, which
is both reasonable and just, we would
not feel disposed to make another
complaint. The concession we ask is
that the law be so amended as to pro-
vide for the removal of dispensaries
by means of the same machinery and
in the same manner that is provided
for their establishment.

AT a mass meeting Of representa-
tive colored citizens held in Richmond
last Saturday, the following resolutions
were adopted: Whereas, the public
press has communicated to us GER
tain speech purporting to have been
made by our friend and townsman,
James H. Hayes, in the city Of Wash
ington, which speech, if true, we re-
gard as being incendiary, and Where
as. the said press published fact states
tnat James w. Hayes was counsel for
the colored people Of Virginia. Now,
desire to enter our protest and disap-
proval of the utterances attributed to
Hayes as having been made at a pub
lie meeting in the city Of Washington.
We now, therefore, invite the represen-
tative colored men Of this city to meet
us in caucus Monday afternoon to take
such action as may be deemed neces-
sary to place us properly before the
public as colpred men engaged in busi-
ness in the city of Richmond"
The North Carolina senatorial dead
lock was broken last Thursday night,
and Lee S. Overman was nominated
for senator on the SiXty-first ballot
The first ballot of the night was the
ffty-seventh of the series, giving Wat
son Ga, Overman II. There was moth
ing in that to indicate what was COM
ing. The next ballot showed the fig
ures almost exactly reversed. On the
fifty-ninth, Overman picked up two
more votes and was thus ahead of the
highest vote received by any candidate
on a previous ballot. The end was
then in sight: but even then Craig's

Books are no substitute for talk.
They come out Of talk and 90 back into
talk. We doubt IL reading alone ever
made "a full man." 1t has been said
that reading is thinking with some one
else's head, but talking is thinking-if
we may borrow q smile from the motor
car-with two head power. As book
worm is to the man of the world, so is
the silent thinker to the talking think
er. The man who does not talk is q
stranger upon earth. He does not know
his fellows, and they do not know him,
and those we do not know we cannot
greatly like. Little do men perceive
what solitude is and how far it extend
eth, for a crowd is not company, and
faces are but a gallery of pictures and
talk but tinkling cymbal. where there
is no love-" Yet man may do heroic
deeds and never talk ut all in our sense
of the word. and he may be IL learned

The Primitive Clock.

A naturalist, while visiting Great San
cir, one of those islands of the Indian
ocean known as the Celebes or Spice
islands. found a curious time recorder
lodged at the house of rajah. Two
bottles were firmly dashed together and
fixed in wooden frame. A quantity
of black sand ran from one bottle into
the other in just half an hour. and
when the upper bottle was empty the
frame was reversed. Twelve short
sticks. marked with notches from one
to twelve. were hung upon string. A
hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number of notches corre-
spending to the hour last struck and
the one to be struck next. The sentry
announced the time by striking the
hours on large gong.

The DruKeist Lost In Ibsen.

group was first introduced and at once
began to pour out his personal delight

flow that the other introductions were
being held in allegiance. and the other
literary young men starved. Browning
endured it with great good humor for
some time. At last he put his hand al

My salad days,
When I was green in judgment.

Another and very different derivation
links the expression with sale, or sad
die. the block upon which in olden days
schoolboys were birched. In this form
the words are allied to the ''pen'orth of
salad OIL" for which. on All Fools
days. boys were sent to the saddler's
shop. where they often met with a
warm reception.
1t is just possible that the term had
some reference to the "Saladine-tenth,"

provide funds from England and
