Farmer Children Need Farmer
Studies.

c. Fl. Poe in the August Worlds Work
Our education system has been
made by city people, and the country
school finds it secondhand, Hitting
and unattractive. To this fact more
than to any other, perhaps, is due
the backWardness of education in
agricultural states. The school has
not taken hold on farm life. Plants,
soils, animals, insects, flowers. the
weather. the forests and the sky
from all these things it has stood
apart, while it has babbled Of sub
jects unfamiliar and uninteresting to
the country bred child. All rural
education has been hacked and hew-
ed to fit the Procrustean bed of the
city model.
This is q severe indictment of our
present methods, but it is not awhit
too severe. To find proof you have
only to examine the textbooks in
use in our rural schools. Apparent
ly they have been written solely for
city children, sons and daughters of
clerks. merchants, bankers and ira
ders. They do not even suggest to
the farmers child the possibilities of
science and training in agricultural
work. On tie contrary, the natural
and logical inference from our gen
eral scheme of rural instruction is
that education is not Indispensable
to the farmer, but is intended chiefly
FOR the commercial and professional
classes.

THE RAILROADS AND THE PUBLIC.

The tribulatIOns OF the railroads
things they have to contend with are
considered it is surprising that they
are enabled to continue in operation.
1t has come to the point i'll some sec
tiOns that IL railroad is considered
legitimate prey for all manner OF
suits and complaints and it is often
the case that they fail to get common
Justice at the hands OF juries. There
is, however, another side to the mat
ter. Representatives of railroads,
especially where there is no competi-
ton, often assume an arrogant man
ner i'll dealing with the public. This
causes u feeling OF resentment against
the company and in turn against all
railroads. 1t is II matter OF minor
Importance, but the giving of infOr-
nation regarding delayed trains-Or
rather the failure to give it correctly
largely augmefits the feeling that
the roads are not treating the public
fairly.-Charlotte Observer.
The railroads are often the victims
of unjust treatment and are held to
account for Il great many things for
which they are not responsible or to
blame. But itcannot be denied that
much of the criticism and complaint
lodged against them is not without
Just cause. The travelling public

Death of DR.. John S. Long.

Many people in North Carolina will
learn with genuine regret OF the death
OF Rev. John S. long, \. NJ, LII. d.,
at the home OF his daughter in Phil
adelphia. He was born in Washing
ton, y. e., and was educated at
Randolph-Macon College and the
University of North Carolina. grad

honor. He was a brilliant young
man, giving promise of the scholar
ship and eloquence that marked his
maturity. Almost Immediately upon
receiving license to practice law he
was elected solicitor OF the Washing
ton district While on the threshold
Of Il brilliant legal career. he was
called to the ministry and served
with great acceptability at Raleigh
and Wilmington and other cities in
this State Later he moved to New
Bern and taught school and was for
about twenty-five years county sup
erintendent OF schools. Feeling the
burden OF years upon him DR.. Long
moved to Baltimore where he made
his home with his daughter. He
came of distinguished family and
was IL great grandson of Bishop
Long, of England. He married in
1892 Miss Annie Bonner Marsh,
granddaughter of Colonial Brnner,
OF Revolutionary fame, Two dau9h-
ters-NIrs. S. s. Willett, of Philadel-
phia, and Mrs VIM. +. Iost, of
Forest Park.
The above is a brief sketch OF IL
goldenhearted, patriotic, noble North
CarOlina gentleman. He was a
scholar, an orator, il charming writer
and delightful companion. He
was endowed withe those graces of
head and heart that are found in few
men combining the gentleness OF Il
woman with the spirit OF the noblest
manhood. He had achieved reputa-
ton in and out OF the State as an
orator, and in 1898 delivered in the
presence of 5000 people a Confed
crate memorial address in Baltimore
pronounced the most perfect of it's
kind ever delivered in that city.

HE DESERVES THE GUN.

AS an example of Il boy that can
shoot we publish the following from
the Charlotte Observer. And ii his
father does not give him the gun the
GOLD LEAF will hold with the Young
stcr that he ought to:
Because OF IL sudden development
OF IL ease of nerves Master MOrehead
Jones, the small son of Mr.. $. b.
Jones, lost a double barrelled breech-
loading shotgun yesterday. His
father had told him that whenever he
learned to shoot well enough to
break nine clay pigeons out of ten he
would give him the gun. Standing
behind the trap of the Charlotte Gun
Club yesterday afternoon Morehead
killed his first eight birds. and then
he began to tremble. All that he
needed to do was to hit one of the
two next targets, but his eagerness
transferred him into IL bunch of
nerves and he shot wide of the last
two pigeons. But the members of
the gun club are trying to pursuade
DR. Jones that the boy deserves the
Gun ANYWAY.

BOUQUETS FOR BLACK MEN,

Under the above heading the Bur
lington, New Jersey. Gazette, copies
couple OF paragraphs from the GOLD
LEAF in connection with what it said
about the deaths of Rev. J. l.. Cook
and Baker Eaton. and makes this
comment:
"Northern people generally think
they only throw bricks at the black
man in the Sunny South"
The average Northern mind does
not seem to be able to understand
the Southern mans position i'll re-
gard to the negro. We take the ne
gro for what he is and treat him ac-
cordingly-not all alike merely be-
cause he has a black skin. Nor is he
punished, prosecuted or oppressed for
the same reason. The good negro
the well behaved, respectable and re-
spectful ones among the race-and
there are many such--are accorded
the consideration and respect to
which their character and worth ell
title them; and many OF their best
friends and the source whence comes
the most OF their patronage and en-
plOyment are white people.
In the reference to the two cOlOred
men above named there was no Occa-
sion for bouquet throwing and none
was attempted Both were honest
and worthy members Of their race
and the GOLD LEAF had the fairness
to speak trnthfully concerning them.

Cheap Labor.


Progressive Farmer.
a correspondent of the New York
Outlook makes Il rather extended re-
port of a speech recently delivered by
Governor Aycock in Waynesville, this
State. 1t contains one paragraph
that every citizen of North Carolina
ought to learn by heart; we hope
that our educational campaigners at
least will ponder it deeply. Nobody
else, so far as our knowledge goes,
has put so fOrceful al argument for
better school within so small COM
pass.
when you buy manufactured ar
ticles,' said the Governor, you buy
them from Massachusetts. and YOU
pay for labor worth four dollars a
day, but YOU pay in the products OF
your own labor, which is worth fifty
cents Il day. Now, what does this
mean? Why, that you must give
eight days of your labor for one day
OF that of the men in Massachusetts.
This is because Massachusetts has
taught her people to work, has edu-
Gated them to a high standard OF
efficiency, and North Carolina has
not.

The South's intellectual! Vigor.
Savannah News.

Savannah News
The South is the only section of
the Union in which the white pOpu-
lation is composed almost wholly
of genuine native Americans. Prob
ably it is because of this that South
ern men are notable for the display
of intellectual vigor, whether they
are found in New York city or in the
homes OF their ancestors They have
always played a conspicuous part
in the affairs of the nation, and there
is no question but that they will con-
tinue to do so.
There is no better evidence that
they come of a race that does things
than the achievements of the Southern
people since the close of the Civil
War. Less than forty years ago the
South was a ruin, She had to be re-
built from the bottom up. She is
far richer and greater than ever be-
fore and her promise for the future is
far brighter. What she is is the result
OF the efforts of her own people.
