NaRrHERNERs, GO SOUTH

1ittrc are some Northerners who
know more about Germany and about
ltal and perhaps about the roman
tic and picturesque Balkan Peninsu-
la titan they do about Georgia, and
South Carolina and Texas. Conse-
queitil they show more sense when
the, afe talking about lese majestic,
o. about The temporal power of the
Pope, Of about Turkish oppression,
than they do when they are talking
about tie right Of the negro to
vote
~ IS 50 easy to think that because
you live n country you must under
stand it The Southerner and the
Northcrner are fellow citizens. They
owe aIie glance to the same haM
Therefore, the Northerner is perfect
ly competent to tell the Southerner
now 10 settle the negro question.
I BE faliacy of this logic is that be-
cause OF the presence of the negro
the social condition of Charleston,
s. e., differs from that of Boston,
Mass, more than that of Boston,
Mass, differs from that of London,
England And citizen of Boston
gets on better in London than he
does in Charleston.
The negro question is greater than
any other question in America And
it is not only greater, but more deli
cate. 1t is matter of social, as we'll
| as OF political and industrial life So,
more than almost any one question
that could be imagined it needs per-
sonal experience. The occasional
negro of the north is not an adequate
basis for studying the negro of the
south. In the south the negro in
many communities outnumbers the
the white, and the possibilities of ne
gro rule.
Therefore, northerners, if you have
time and money to visit new scenes,
visit the south. Some of your fell
lows have gone to the south and have
lived there for a few years. They
don't feel now quite as you do. See
if you can find out what it was that
modified their opinions.
Go south and watch the defendants
of Washington, Madison, Jefferson,
Marshall, Jackson, Clay, Calhoun,
Polk and Lee, while they, bone of our
bone and flesh of our flesh, are work
ing out, with errors of mind and with
errors of heart, but with American
pluck and hope, the greatest domestic
problem that ever ate into the heart |
Of a civilized people Then come
back if you still think that they are
wrong you will will say so in diff
ferent Chicago Tribune.

CHRISTMAS TIME.

Christmas times are here and every
body and everything you meet shows
st--the small boy who passes you on
the street, blows his horn i'll your
ear or skaters vo1 with report Ct
a cannon torpedo at your heels; the
pretty school girls, whose merry
laugh as they pass out of one store
to another looking for presents; the
jostle or shoves you run up against
as you pass through the crowded
streets OF Christmas shoppers; the
shrill cry of the Christmas-stand
keeper, who line the main streets; the
attractively dressed windows and
stores of yous merchants in holiday
attire, all tell us the happiest days of
The year are soon to be realized and
We rejoice with the world that it ;e
here.
III one and all The Times extends
it, Christmas greeting for merry
hristmas and happy New Year Ii
agpes that th9Tc Is not a home in
AnE little city or county but what
me gifts of old Santa will fill the
4 hangIng stockings of the little curly
heads that lie asleep dreaming of the
morning when the will be made hap
Ply and glad over the presents he has
brought them.
An artist could to us, paint no sad
der picture than that of a sweet lit
tie boy or girl of FIVE or six years,
on awakening Christmas morning to
lind an empty Christmas stocking.
We are proud to say that the work
Of the noble young ladies of the
Kings Daughters Circle No. 5, will
see that there is not home in the
city but what the little hearts will be
made to rejoice over present of
some kind
For fear that some may be missed
we appeal here again to orr rtaders
10 hand the members of this noble
circle the names of any person who
lives on their street or of their &C
squaintance whose financial circum-
stances, misfortunes, or sickness may
be looked after and cared for as their
case demands. Let one and all try
and make the Christmas of 1904 the
nlerrest Of all and this can only be
done by the extending of charity

may rejoice in the blessed day and

A GOOD MOVE.

Tie movement set on foot by the
cotton planters of the South headed
by Harvie Jordan president Of the
Southern Cotton Growers Associa-
ton, to organize an independent bu-
reau OF statistics on cotton as check
against the statistics OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture, at the meeting
OF the cotton growers to be held at
New Orleans next month, is a move,
ment that if successful will protect
the planters interest from the great
losses in cotton he experiences today
by false reports or wrong predictions
Everyone must admit that it can do
no harm, then it must do great good.
We know that supply and demand
must, to large extent, control the
price of all commodities, but many
times the mills have been almost with
out cotton, but have made it appear
10 the world that they had plenty
to run on and forced down the price
of cotton to the loss Of the planter.
Let this bureau obtain and publish
to the world their true conditions, as
well as the condition Of the crop and
the breaks today will be unheard Of
in the future. Such movement
will sound the death knell of specu-
lation as far as setting the price on
the staple cotton. The meeting, we
predict, if attended, by the brains
u the South as it should be, means
much to the South and her staple

The movement to secure white en-
migration for the South has at last
reached stage that points to Its
success and next year more white
labor will come South than ever be-
fore in the history of the country.
1t behooves every town, large or
small, to become wide awake to this
movement. The advantages of every
town should be set out in a small
pamphlet or book or in the newspa-
pers and these sent to the immigra-
ton agents of the railroads for free
distribution. Such a campaign of ad-
vertising will not only result in good
labor for the plantations, but will
draw capital and population to the
cities that are not afraid to spend dol
lars to carry it out.

November bit an apple red,
And vowed, although he cooked hii
head
With manner brisk and perky
| you'll scarce believe me, but It's SOY,
What pie might be he did not know,
And never heard of turkey!
Then little Feb. began to jeer,
But though behind his rosy ear
A nice quill pen he carried,
He could not make rhyme for dove"
Or spell little word like "love;"
And while perplexed he tarried,
Last in the line December came,
And could not tell Kriss Kringle's
name,
Or even-really twas shame!-
The mission of a stocking
The teacher turned away, tear
Upon her cheek did ever Year
Know anything SO shocking!
"Alas, dear Father Time!" she cried,
Il fear you're scarcely satisfied!
But, as l hope you've noted,
The children are so young! And then
l must remind you once again,
They've all just been promoted,
And are not used as yet, you see,
In this new century class to be.
I'm sure they'll study harder now!"
And if they don't"-upon his brow
A frown-'why can tell them"
Said Father Time, they'll have to go!
We cannot be disgraced you know
And though, of course, twill sadly mar

She, blushing, tried to tell how high
The mountains are that touch the sky;
How wide the fields, how deep the sea,
The lineage of every bumblebee;
Where four-leaved clovers-deary me!
She yawned until she could not see;
So warm, and, OH so sleepy she!
How could she say her lesson?
Back, nodding to her seat she crept,
And dropped her curly head and slept.
Then, with little bashful pause,
Sweet April came, and cried because
She couldn't quite remember
How many days to her belong,
Or where the bluebird learned his song!
December prompted, which was wrong;
But he was grleved, the gentle lad,
TO see his little playmate sad;
And in her place, quite trim and neat,
With braided hair and slippered feet,
Came studious young September.
She knew her lesson like book
And said it off with serious look.
Twas all of sunshine, cloud and haze,
And golden hours and shortening days,
And sheaves of gathered knowledge;
She spoke in French, of course, with
ease,
In Hebrew and in Japanese,
In Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese;

And "ologies" and "ographies"-
AS much as any college
She seemed to know; but, bold and spry
Ere she had done, with flaShing eye
And martial air, out stepped July,
And pompously began to try
To say the Declaration"
Before the opening words were out
He stopped and gave sudden shout,
Flung up his cap into the air,
And yelled till twas enough to scare
Old Time himself; and from her chair
The teacher sprang with startled stare
And frown of CONSERVATION.
The little Months, delighted, elapped;
The Year for order sternly raped,
And when the room was still once more
Called out the children as before.
Alas, their wits were scattered!
They quite forgot they were at school;
They could not say a single rule,
Nor seemed to think it mattered.

So many Months to skip, if they
Can't learn their lessons, welIaday,
We simply must expel them!"
At this the little Months, amazed,
Wide-eyed upon the teacher gazed;
Then to their places flying;
Picked up their books and went to work.
With not pause for quip or quirk;
Their fingers in their ears, that so
No sound might reach them, to and fro
They rocked and buzzed until the room
Was like an orchard full of bloom
And thick with bees. The teacher smiled.
And Father Time was much beguiled-
He laughed instead of signing;
And off they went and shut the door.
And left the little Months once more
To learn their tasks unruly;
And there they rocked and buzzed until.
For aught | know, they're buzzing still.
/ hope they are, for, truly.
II they should fail again fear
1t would SO grieve the little Year:
Shed be a very blue Year;
And as for us-for you and me-
With half the little Months in doubt
Just as to what they were about.
And all the holidays left out.
AS you can very plainly see,
My little dears, 'twould hardly be
A very Happy New Year!
