How to Build Up the Country.

The country school is, single-handed, powerless
to save our country boys and girls from making
our country and city problem worse and worse.
We need industrial training more than anything
else. We should teach a variety Of the ordinary
Industrial trades. But particularly we should
foster the hand arts and crafts that are peculiarly
adapted for practice in an atmosphere of quiet,
close to nature, and where there are vast treas
ures of time running TO waste from lack of en-
ployment. We have a list of more than thirty arts,
crafts and small industries well adapted to coun-
try conditions and which are already successful
in different places. We should make a good deal
of reading in history, literature and the sciences
and the study of science directly from nature:
And so we shall train up a capable and hopeful
generation for the self-existence of a normal
country life; and those we send to the city will
have each his or her craft in hand, will have ideals,
and some ability to do all they dare dream Of,

A Legacy of Slavery.

A woman who had struggled long and vainly
with a servant whose "mind was never on his
work" finally said: eff what you're thinking
about all the time pays you better than your work,
why don't you work at it? IF it doesn't pay you,
why do you think of it and neglect that which
does pay you?"
When you come to look at it, what could be
more ridiculous than a human being pretending
to be rational yet approaching that which pro-
vides him with food, clothing and shelter, and
enables him to continue to clothe himself in his
self-respect, in the spirit of one taking up a hate
full task that must be dispatched and dismissed as
speedily as possible?
The notion that labor is a curse dates from the
time when all but a few human beings were slaves
working under the lash for board and a breech-
clout. It dies hard-which is fortunate for the
few who are willing workers, because 1t makes
their progress swifter.-Saturday Evening Post.

THIS WEEKS PAPER-SOME RANDOM COM
MFNT.

Mr.. F. j. Merriam's letter on "Cover Crops is
timely and suggestive. Mr.. Merriam is not one of
those who hold that farming don't pay" for he
makes $4,000 a year clear profit at the business.
The ravages of Hessian fly in this State give
timeliness to the opinions of the Kansas Station
as to the best means of fighting the pest. It will
he seen that the authorities in the Sunfower
State suggest practically the same methods that
Entomologist Sherman has recommended to our
readers.
Mr.. BIacknalIs paper on strawberry growing
and Col. KiIlebrew's~ suggestions for August farm
work are both rather long, but they have merits
enough to counterbalance this defect.
James Mcneil Whistler of whom mention is
made again in this issue, had all of the eccen-
~tricities that are popularity supposed to accom-
pany genius. He published a booklet, we believe,
on "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies" and
~practiced assiduously the doctrine that he preach
ed. II may have a friend or two left" he said;
"but if so, I have forgotten their names" His
conceit was colossal. One of his admirers once
said to him: "After all there are only two great
painters, Velasquez and Whistler" "Why drag in
Velasquez|' was Whistler's reply.
Miss Sallie W. Stockard, author of "The His
tory of Alamance," furnishes us a striking and
vigorous paper, in which she asserts that North
Carolina is backward for lack of goods. It is a
very readable article, whatever the facts in the
case may be. The Editor, being a bachelor, finds
the subject beyond his depth, and must leave Miss
Stockard to the tender mercies of her North Car
DINA sisters.

Why Communities Are stagnant.

In every community where there is not stagna-
ton and a dry rot has not set in, there are social
problems constantly arising. The body either
progresses or retrogrades. There can be no social
organization without men and women, which fact
Is often obscured. Frequently men bemoan the
condition of their town or section and point to
their material resources, the climate, the soil, the
forests, the minerals, the rivers and even their
railroads and wonder why with the possession of
such natural blessings, they stagnate and remain
poor. They magnify some fancied advantage of
a rival section under less propitious conditions
and satisfy their morbid imaginations with all
sorts of vain excuses, but never admit the under
lying cause. They fail to realize that it is simply
a difference between the men and women who &C.
cupy the different ocalities.-Hon John II.

About Jury Duty.

Say what you may, if every citizen of the coun-
try we're as willing to sit on the jury as he is to
vote, there would be less criticism of the verdicts
rendered and court proceedings. And as we see
it, one is as much a duty to the State as the other.
It is the privilege and duty of every good and
capable citizen to exercise the right of suffrage
by casting his ballot in every election by the peo-
pie; and SO, too, it is the duty of every good citi-
zen to serve the State as a juror whenever called
upon to do so unless some real providentiaI
hindrance comes in his way.-Scotland Neck

The Idea of Culture.

The idea of culture has always included a quick
and wide sympathy with men; it should hereafter
include sympathy with nature, and particularly
with its living forms-a sympathy based on some
accurate observation of nature. The bookworm,
the monk, the isolated student, has never been the
type of the cultivated man. Society has seemed
the natural setting for the cultivated person, man
or woman; but the present conception Of real
culture contains not only a large development of
this social element, but also an extension of inter
est and reverence to the animate creation and to
those immense forces that set the earthly stage
for man and all related beings.-President c.. W.
Eliot in the August Worlds Work.

We regret to hear of the defeat the bond issue
for good roads in CASTOR County. We believe
that CASTOR has wealth enough to justify it spend
ing 100000 to improve it's highways. The mud
tax is just as expensive as the good roads tax, and
it is better to pay road bonds and get good roads
than to pay the mud tax and keep bad roads. We
shall all learn this lesson before many years.

The Sun concludes a striking edi- torial on the second anniversary of the death of President Mckinley with these wo-ds:
 We look back now. over these two years that are ended. and We recall how We felt when it was telegraphed down here from that sinister day at Buffalo that President Roosevelt. in frank and manly fashion. over the dead body, of his murdered predecess- or had pledged his honor 10 the Amer ican people to carry out to the letter rhe policy of William Mckinley"
