meCnOQS OF IdrmluS.
Our age is often condemned coldly COM
mercial in it's ideals, but there are great many
things that lead us to disagree with the pessl-
mists in this charge. Last week the whole ma
ton waited each morning for news of Joe Jetfer-
son. lying i'll in Florida town. But Jefferson
has never taken any part in finance politics or
war; He has only made the world happier by
his delightful Interpretation of quaint old Rip
Van Winkle and the sympathy of millions goes
out to him as it would not to any mere money
maker that the world has seen. lLater.-Mr. JET
ferson died Sunday afternoon]
owe are all poets and mystics after ALL" We
are even turning aside this month to celebrate IN
a fashion the hundredth anniversary of the birth
of Hans Christian Andersen, who thought
more of making money than Jefferson has, but
who has added to the joys of childhood in many
languages and iii many lands by the charming
fairy stories with which he enriched the worlds
literature.
We like romance too-we practical folk of
this commercailistic age. So when news
dull last week-and even if news had not been
dull, it would have been much the same-we
stopped to talk of the marriage of Andrew
Carnegies niece to the riding master of the
family the famous iron-masters only comment
being: "The family has no objection to the
match. Mr.. HEAVIER is an honest, upright young
man. I would rather Nancy had married a poor
honest man than worthless duke. We want no
rich in the family"
When one goes to taking this matter seriously,
however, he is likely to agree with the Charlotte
Observer, which says: "Mr. Andrew Carnegie
discusses very phiosophically the marriage of his
niece and the family riding master, formerly the
coachman of the brides mother. It is as we'll
to take such miscues So but, Lordy! look at the
case of the girl-hung up for life with pauper
widower, forty-two years old and with two chill
dren. 1t will be but few years before she real
ICES what she has made of this matri-
monial venture"
There was remarkably little news last week,
and it is not the policy of The Progressive
Farmer to try to make news when there is no
news. Hence, review of current events is
only column instead of page-but the world
is to blame, not the Editor.

CURRENT EVENTS: THE TREND OF THINGS
AS WE SEE 1T.

who came back from Washington TO meet Ine
query: "Did you get the appointment " And his
answer was "No, I got the disappointment" The
world Jared similarly In the matter of the expect
ed Russo-Japanese naval engagement last week.
The prevailing policy seems to have been outlined
by the japanese minister last Tuesday when ne
said that Togo would not risk an open battle with
the superior forces of the Russians, but would
set himself to attack their exposed points and
weaken them by continued skirmishing. And the
Russian commander does not seem to have felt
sure enough of his strength to force battle out
right.
The land forces of both nations evidently
trying to conceal their movements, and no one
can foretell where the next engagement will be.
And it is but natural that they should have
period of inactivity after the colossal slaughter
of Mukden. The awful significance of this
fict has not yet been appreciated by the world
at large Think of it! We in North Carolina
have had great deal to say about the number
of troops we sent to the front in the Civil War
127 900 soldiers in the Confederate armies, 900
more than there were men of militia age in 1860.
And yet on this one blood-sodden field of Mukden,
the losses were 2OO,OOO-75OOO more than the total
number of North Carolina boys who put on the
gray in the four long years from 1851 to 1865.
The losses in the Spanish-American and Boer
battles slight to give the impression
that the days of murderous warfare had past.
But the Japanese and Russians have taught us
better.
We notice that very strenuous efforts are now
being made to turn the tide of European immi-
grafton Southwark. The Palmetto State is
especially active in this particular and Mr. E. J.
Watson Commissioner of immigration, was
quoted as saying in New York last week: owe
are going to get immigrants of the best sort into
South Carolina, and we are setting about the
work systematically / have opened an Office in
this city at Is Broad Street, and it will be per-
manent. Raymond L. Griffin, of the South Lm-
migration Society, will have charge of it. We are
preparing to send agents to all the north Europe
countries, and within few weeks five or six of
them will be either over there or on the ocean
going there. / expect to go over to Europe on the
same errand myself before the summer is over
We want the best class of immigrants in South
Carolina, and going to have them if they
are to be had"
We understand that our Southern cotton mills
complaining bitterly of the scarcity of
labor, and we should prefer to see them draw on
European immigration for further supply rather
than turn to the sturdy stock of people we now
have farms. Speaking broadly, the cotton
mill, at present conducted in the South is
not conducive to the upbuilding of high char
acter and good citizenship. The State loses
whenever any considerable element of her popula-
ton turns from the healthfu life of the farms to
the less wholesome atmosphere of the cotton mill.

population, build up home markets, and turn our
