Thinking For Ones Self.

Frequently one hears it said that such and such
a word, if spoken before this or that man or wo-
man, is like a red rag in front of a bull. Some
of these infaming words or phrases in political
speech and writing are "protection," "free trade"
gold standard" equal suffrage" prohibition"
liquor license" and third term"
Controversy has waged round the ideas for
which they stand, and all the hard feelings aroused
by angry dispute are recalled when the words are
used. Men and women are in such strict bondage
to words that it is difficult to get at the merits of
a question in discussion with them, if any of the
quarrel words" are used. The wise man., there
fore, Avoids such words and makes use of others,
less worn, when he desires his views on controvert-
ed subjects to receive a respectfully hearing.
There are words of a~llurement, also, which tact
full speakers employ to gain the goodwill of their
hearers. The discerning man who sees through
words to the things they stand for is seldom ex-
cited by the quarrel words, and is not often allured
by the enticement of empty compliments. He
does his own thinking, as Emerson advised the
that Plato and other notable thinkers, at the time
they were evolving their theories, were young men
in libraries, and held no patent on the right to
reach independent conclusions.
The inclination to let others do ones thinking
is first cousin to the WILLINGNESS to sit in bondage
to mere words. There is no place for either Of
the cousins in the intellectual outfit of the men
and women who lead in the work of the world

Name the Farm.

In many sections of the country since the r. F.
D.. lines have knocked out SO many of the rural
postofGces, the custom of naming the country
homes and farms has revived. We hope it will OBJ
tain in our county of Stokes. Such names as
coax View" chestnut Shade" maple Glen"
"River Foam" "Meadow Brook Farm" and 9th
ers suitable to the taste or fancy of the owners.
are used. The custom is old and colonial-like,
savoring of the good gid ante-bellum days.
We have always thought that the placement Of
the individuality of the neighborhoods and post
Offices was the only Objectionable feature about
the rural free delivery. It is easily neutralized
by the naming of the farms and country places.

benefits to the farmers, merchants, bankers and
other business interests of the country resulting
from a warehousing system will aggregate not
less than ten dollars per bale Or over one hundred
million dollars to the cotton growing States and
Territories annually, which flowing through the
arteries of trade, will quicken into renewed life
and vigor every effort and enterprise of all our
people.
5. That the construction and maintenance of
mills at the fields would be encouraged by reason
of their being able to obtain adequate supplies
of cotton directly from the warehouses when &C
tually needed instead of being required to lay up
a years supply of cotton or borrow capital at high
rates of interest as at present.
6. That the binding together of our people, the
better acquaintance with the conditions existing
among us from time to time and other incidental
benefits to be derived from a uniform system of
warehousing cotton by our own people would be
of untold value to the country at large and would
the frstNseason repay many fold the cost of the
whole system.
7. That we most heartily endorse the plan sub
mitted by the Waco Business Mems Club and
Farmers Institute of McLennan County, and
pledge ourselves to it's earnest, support, and rec
ommend that the Congress call upon the daily
and especially the weekly press of the country to
urge every thoughtful man in Texas and in every
other cotton growing State and Territory to write
at once to the said club or institute at Waco,
Texas, expressing a willingness to aid in this
great work in the respective communities, as
many correspondents must be had in every coun-
ty to insure it's success.
The convention of cotton growers announced
by President Harvie Jordan in The Progressive
Farmer two weeks ago to meet in St. Louis in
October, was brought to the attention of the
meeting, and a committee consisting of J. Bryan
Grimes, j. W. Atwater, S. L. Paterson, T. B.
Parker and J. J. Thomas, was named with power
to select two hundred delegates to represent
North Carolina at the st. Louis meeting.

The August Noon.

The quiet August noon has come,
A slumbrous silence fills the sky,
The fields are still, the woods are dumb,
In CLASSY sleep the waters lie.
And mark yon soft white clouds that set
Above our vale, a moveless throng;
The cattle on the mountains breast
Enjoy the grateful shadow long.
There is a joy too deep for sound,
A peace no other season knows
Hushes the heavens and wraps the ground,
The blessing of supreme repose.
Bryant.

Individual Responsibility

The lawyer may not, cannot purify his profess
sion, but he can be a pure member in it. The
merchant cannot stop the iniquitous practices of
trade, but he can be an honest merchant or else
go out of business. The mother may. not be able
to keep down the shallow standards that bewitch
her daughters, but she can pitch the key of her
own life so high that the dignity of her soul will
rebuke these standards and disarm them of their
power. The father may not be able to keep his
sons from temptations, but he can himself desist
from the filthy habit, the loose language, the in
different life that his admiring child is more likely
to copy from him than from any one else.-Jen-
kin Lloyd Jones.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever
could make two ears of corn, or two blades of

one grew before, would deserve better of mankind.

the whole race of politicians put together-Jon-
athan Swift, in Gulliver's Travels.

Crop Conditi )ns.

The last crop reports, says the Washington
correspondent of The Progressive Farmer, indi-
cate favorable temperatures and promising results
as a whole, although there are local depressions
ON account of the weather. Corn is making ex-
cellent progress everywhere. Rain Interrupted
the threshing of wheat in them iddle Atlantic
States and damaged the quality of the grain in
the lower Missouri valley, and rust has affected
the spring wheat in the principal States east of
the Rockies. But the crop is good in Minnesota
and North Dakota, as well as in Oregon. The,
crop now being harvested in California is small
Ter than for many years, being estimated at about
-, 900, 900 bushels. The yield of barley in that
State will surpass that of wheat, being reckoned
at II, O0O,00 bushels. Dat harvest is in general
progress in the more northerly sections, and is
largely finished in the central and southern dis
tricts. Rust has caused damage in North Dakota
and portions of Minnesota, and rains have proved
injurious to this crop in Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey.

the rather suggestive name OF swal'
low General Miles. perhaps misht

Prohibition party that Miles was not
nominated, one Of their own leaders
being chosen instead. The nomna-
tlon Of Miles, despite his unpopulari'y
in the south, would undoubtedly have
resulted in more votes for the Prohi-
bition ticket than will the nomination
Of Mr. Swallow But the votes that
Miles would have attracted in the

votes. but would have come to Niles

mlscoNslN REPueLlcANs.

wisconsin Republicans appear to
have fallen into the pit which they
dizeed for the feet Of others. A few
years ago a Republican legislature in
that state passed a law which pro
hibited the placing Of candidates
name on more than one ballot This
action was taken to prevent combina-
tions Of minority parties in certain dis
tricts from uniting and oyerturning the
Republican machine.
But this law, showed through by
force of the Republican machine, is
row causing the very men who framed
it more than little anxiety. There
will be two Republican state tickets in
the field, owing to the factional row in
Wisconsin and Roosevelt and Fair
banks electors can only be placed on
one ticket In seeking to eliminate
possibilities for fusion which might
defeaN the machine rule Of the Repub-
lican party in the state, that party has
punished itself. These conditions give
the Wisconsin Democrats more than a
fghting chance OF success in the pres
ent campaign.
