Agriculture affords the great opportu-
nifty and the proper training for that
race. but IL also demands character.
selfs-reliance. energy, and self control
beyond the present willingness or ca
pacity Of the race. Unless a change is
made and that right speedily, the race
will lose its opportunity for ever and
will pass away under the relentless
working OF the law OF the survival OF
the fittest." The natural life Of slavery
kept the negro strong. He is now In
danger of destruction by running away
from nature and degenerating through
the vices OF civilization.
president winston described the
teaching of agriculture in the schools
and it's possible effect in another gener-
alton upon the crops Of the state. THE
Weld OF wheat per acre was in
a century in England. In the next
century the average yield Of wheat,
corn. and oats in North Carolina can
be doubled three times. Better tillage,
rotation of crops, seed selection, irriga-
ton, increase of stock, thorough drain
age, and proper fertilization will do the
work. The persistent growing in rota-
ton with other crops Of clover and
ptdS, III CfSlI
grasses n stock raising will double
the fertility OF the soil in a single gen.
Grafton" 'All these things can be
taught in schools; and, more than that
an inspiration and a hope can be given
by education to lads looking to ano
preferring farm life. If any man doubts
this let him see the hundred and nifty
agricultural students in the State Agri-
cultural College and try to toll then
away from agricultural careers. LIE
agriculture be taught in every public
school; let rural industrial high school:
be established and maintained in every
senatorial district; and let the STATE
Agricultural college be. equipped for
a thousand students, finishing the edu
cation of those who come up from tn
lower schools and supplying efficien
teachers for these schools"

On every question upon which Judge
Parker's position is open to criticism,
President R0osevelt's position Is
worse; where they differ, as they do
on many important questions, Parker
is right and Roosevelt Is wrong.
Roosevelt favos a high tariff;
Parker fayors tariff reform. Roose-

Roosevelt has brought the race Is

Roosevelt stands for colonial pol

Mrs. Il. 7. Raird's Death.


The Denver Republican, writing Of
a former resident Of this city, says;
Mrs. II. T. Baird, one Of the Oldest
educators In the west, died at the
home of her daughter, Miss Itonla
Baird, 2iS Irvington place, last Thurs
day. The funeral, conducted by Rev.
Edwin Seldom, OF the Broadway Bap-
tist church, assisted by Rev. DR.. Tyler,
was held Saturday afternoon, and the
interment was at Fairmount.
Mrs. Baird had spent her entire life
as a teacher, and as a mark Of her
ability and splendid womanhood,
there now stands In Clinton, Mo-, a
college which was built In her name.
This was erected in 1885 by the citi-
zens Of Clinton, who constitute many
Of her former pupils.
Mrs. Baird began her school work at
an early age. Her first class was con-
Quoted at Shelbyville, NO., In 1850, and
a few years later she was principal
Of female seminary at Liberty, Mo.
She taught at Lancaster, Mo-, at the
beginning Of the Civil war, and at the
close Of the war she taught in the
high school at Springfield, III. There
she remained for seven years.
In 1873 MS Baird was elected presi-
dent OF Ingleside college, Palmyra,
Mo-, and after six years OF faithful
service there, she was appointed presi-
dent of Hardin college, at Mexico,
Mo-, which was founded by ex-G0v
Chas. II. Hardin Under her efficien:
management this institution was
built from a small class to an enroll
ment of several hundred students.
Mrs. Baird always took an active
part In church work and was devout
Christian. She was the organizer Of
many Bible classes and missionary So
cieties and for many years was secre-
tary of the woman's branch Of the
Mission Baptist State association.
The family removed TO Denver about
one year ago During the last six
months Mrs. Baird had declined grad.
ually She was 76 years old.
Three children survive, besides the
husband. The children we're born to
Mrs. Baird and her first husband, J.K,

Nearer, NY God, To Thee"
Stops Gambling Game.

BIsBEE, ARIz., Oct. 2O.-In one of
the largest OF the Bisbee gambling
saloons few nights ago was a strange
scene. A stranger, poorly clad, his
face bearing all the marks Of dissipa-
tion, entered the place, violin In
band. Unbidden, be began to play,
and with masters hand. His music
was listened to in comparative quiet
At last, after a slight pause there
came the hymn. "Nearer, My God, To
Thee.n The effect was marvellous.
Every gambling game stopped and the
players dropped their cards and dice.
Hats came of and a reverent hush
succeeded the clink OF glasses and the
rattling of chips. Fora a moment the
gambling hall became temple OF de-
votion, as each memory harked back
to other days amid far different
surroundings. The scene as the hymn
concluded was as though the benedic-
tion were being pronounced. Before
the hush was over the waif had slipped
back into the night whence be had
come.
