The College Bred Farmer.

Prof. l.. II. Bailey. director Of the Cor.
nell university college Of agriculture, in
the third of his series Of articles for The
Century, gives the result of his inquiry
among his students az to what practical
use they expected to put their education.
OF the 1I9 replies received, seventy-eight
were those Of students reared on the farm.
OF these, sixty-eight desired to go into
practical farming and then to teaching
and experimental work. Of the sixty-nine
students reared in town or city, forty
four wish to go into practical farming,
fourteen into teaching, eight into land
scape gardening and the rest undecided.
Of the fourteen women students, two
want to become practical farmers and
twelve teachers of nature study and agri-
culture. Of the eighteen foreign students.
fifteen wish to return to the farm and
three to enter experimental work. Prof.
Bailey says that the agricultural college
is now teaching from the farm rather thar
rom the academic port Of view.

WHO OWNS THE NORTH LANDs7

Question somewhat Academic, but
Very Interesting.
The voyage Of the Canadian govern
ment cruiser Arctic to the far north
suggests for consideration the ques-
tion Of the ownership of some far
northern lands. For many years ex-
plorers Of various nationalities, Brit
ish, American, Scandinavian and
others, have ventured into the frozen
wilderness lying between the dominion
of Canada and the north pole, and have
there discovered lands hitherto un-
known, and have named them and
planted flags upon them. There has
been much international rivalry in the
work Of celebrating the arctic map and
Of pushing on toward the pole. But
there has been little thought in the
minds Of the adventurers or in that
of the public Of the delimitation Of in
ternational boundaries in the realms OF

now the Canadian government brings
that thought to mind in the intimatlon
that the dominion extends clear to the

CHAPTER XI.

Stanton turned and looked at Gerald
Tenby.
IL am not so sure that you have not
get your WISH" he said. There was a
curious sound In his voice. '.This seems
90 me strange faint"
There was so much force in his voice
that he reused Gerald Tenby from that
wild frenzy of rage and fear. He drew a
deep breath, and then the color came back
20 his lips, and he was himself again.
"What do you proposeT he asked, in a
swift, low voice. 'Do you intend that
i should hide him here? That seems full
of risk. How do we know that he has
not some one waiting for him outside? +?
How do we know"
bah J" said Stanton. "When a rat Is
In corner he turns and fights! We are
in corner, Tenby, and we must fight
with what weapons we have. / tell you
that Hubert Tenby must not leave here
at least, until we see our way a little
more clearly than we do at present. Get
rid OF Stephens for half an hour. You
have at least a couple of spare rooms here.
We must put him into one Of these rooms,
and, II 1t Is necessary to give an explana-
tion at all to your man, we can easily say
that you let Hubert out Of the chambers
yourself. / don't suppose Stephens ever
puts his nose into those unused rooms
but that we must risk also. Come, rouse
yourself, man! You don't seem to see
how near the dock you stand"
Gerald TcnSy trembled ns IL he had
been stunned. He was, in fact, utterly
unnerved. His hands were trembling He
felt cold In every limb.
The task of lifting Hubert's uncon-
scious body down the passage and into one
of the rooms which Stanton had spoken
of was accomplished without any great
difficulty, for Hubert's misery the last two
years had told on his physique. Where he
had once been fine, young athlete, he
was now spare, almost wasted.
The room into which he was carried
was practically unfurnished: at least, it
was all In disorder. The blinds were clos
ed, and the furniture pushed together
and covered with dust sheets.
: They drew out couch and laid their
burden on 1t. So still and white was this
same burden that new fear gripped Ger
aid Tenby's heart.
"what IL he should be really dead?" he
whispered. But Stanton shook his head
'IIe is not Dead" he said. "You had
best leave this to me, Tenby. As tell
you, he will not come to his senses yet
awhile. shall install myself here to be
near him when he does. We shall have
20 get rid of Stephens at once
Hsving been well prompted by Stanton,
Sir Gerald adopted hard tone to his
servant.
''What do you mean," he said, "by let
ting anybody and everybody push their
way in here? / thought ! was never go.
Ing to get rid of that fellow. You must
Fbe careful. Stephens"
The valet looked sullen.
''IIe said he had a right to come In, sir,

other room in which to sit and wait for
Sir Gerald. He won't be long
"Will you sit in here, sirT said the
valet, opening the door of another room.
Stanton nodded his head and passed in.
There was door which led to the room
from which he had just come, and when
he found himself alone he crept toward 1t
and strained his ears to listen to what
was passing within.

clearly and firmly. 1t was Huberts

sounds which told Stanton that Gerald
Tenby was answering Hubert, but not in
words.

door, and was In the room. With one
strong hand he swept the two men apart.
"Fool p he Missed hsween his teeth to

He had used his strength so well that
Hubert Tenby had staggered and fallen

as he fell.
Stanton took no notice of the other
man, who leaned, painting with passion,
against the table. He knelt down by HUI
bert.
''You have stunned him." he said, In n
whisper.
'I wish ] had killed hin ~ came from
Gerald Tenby's lips. "You had best take
him away from me, Stanton! He is not

SOMETHING TO
Be PROUD OF
A Splendid Tribute to Chas. Scott
from Gen. Frank c. Armstrong.

We are permitted to publish por-
ton of private letter from General
Frank c. Armstrong to one of his old
soldiers in reference to Charles Scott.
Gen. Armstrong is well known to the
Conferederate soldiers of Mississippi. He
was one of our bravest and best gen.
erals and is much beloved. He had seven
horses shot from under him in the
Georgia campaign and was not afraid
to go wherever he ordered his men.
Here is what Gen. Armstrong says:
at is always a pleasure to me to
hear from my old comrades Of the war,
and to feel that am so kindly remem-
bered by the heroic men with whom l
served and had the honor to command.
They were my comrades and friends,
ever ready for duty, suffered privations
and all kinds of hardships without COM
plant. My proudest and dearest MEM
cries of an eventful life is that of my
association with the Mississippi brigade.
Mississippi has had many distinguished
soldiers and most able men in every
walk in life; no State has surpassed her,
and should her people select Chas. Scott
for Governor he will not disappoint their
expectation. He was boy soldier who
did the work of a veteran, and who
served his State and section from sense
of right and principle, expecting no re-
ward except that which every true sol
dier and honest man feels when he has
done his duty. He comes up to the
highest standard of gentleman, citi-
zen and an excellent business NAM
Canton Times.
These words were spoken by Gen.
Frank G. Armstrong, of whom many
of our best citizens have most kindly
recollection. During the war he COM
manded a brigade of cavalry of jack
sons division, of which there were three
companies of Carroll county men. They
will appreciate the complimentary
things said of Charles Scott, for they
apply with equal force and truth to the
many beardless boys who helped to make
the Carroll companies. Gen. Armstrong
was soldier by profession and has
never learned the ways or acquired the
tricks of demagogues and politicians.
The history of any of his good soldiers
may very properly be called history
of his brigade. Watchful, cheerful, fear
less he did his duty well, and where he
led his splendid troops with enthusiasm
followed. Could man, who has always
done his duty SO earnestly and strenu-
ously fail to measure up to the strictest
standard now? Soldiers, citizens, all,
think upon these things and remember
Charles Scott.-Carrollton Conservative.

ent day. 1t was elevated, if elevation
was necessary, to a position far above
that of the United States Senatorship
when the great Southerner, Jefferson Da-
Wis, resigned his seat in that august as
sembly to enter the gubernatorial con-
test in this, his adopted State. If, then,
am elected by you to this exalted Of
fee, after serving your interest for the
full term with answering fidelity and
all the ability 1 may possess, l shall
thereafter be content to leave other hon.
ors to your more worthy sons. As for
myself, shall not become candidate
for the United States Senate under any
conditions during the continuance or
after the expiration of my gubernatorial
term; but it will then be my pride and
pleasure to devote the remainder of my
allotted days to agricultural pursuits
and to the service of our State and COM
mon country in the honorable position
of a private citizen of this great COM
monwealth. ."-Vicksburg American.

HON. cHAs. scorr's POSITION.

Hon. Charles Scott, the farmer candi-
date for Governor, has published manly
address to the voters of the State, clearly
defining his position. He is running
upon his merits without decrying the
merits of any honorable competitor who
aspires to the high position he seeks.
In making the campaign he appeals to
the discriminating judgment of Missis-
sippians and cheerfully abides their de-
cision. He is absolutely independent of
factions and cliques, and has no personal
platform or hobby. Democracy is broad
enough for him, and the States best
interests constitute his slogan and his
quest.
During his campaign he will make no
"entangling alliances" and will not be
responsible for the utterances or methods
of those who in their factional divisions
may choose to borrow strength by at
taching their political fortunes to his,
and arraying their cohorts under his
spotless banner.
Under no circumstances will he barter
the heritage of his people by pledging
patronage for support. Whatever the
result of the campaign may be, he will
come out of it with the proud boast
that he had not promised a single place
at executive disposal, to any aspirant.
His following will be phalanx of
disinterested patriots, and if there
chance to be mercenaries among them,
it will be only one of the incidental ac-
cidents of political warfare, in which
camp followers swell an advancing col
umn, lured by the ignoble hope of spoils.

LIKES MIR. SCOTS PLATFORM.

The pronunciamento of Hon. Chas.
Scott, given to the public Saturday, has
met with most favorable comment at the
hands of the press and public generally.
1t is classed as one of the finest papers
ever published in the State. 1t is de-
clared gem of thought and expression,
and will 60 down into history, whether
the author is elected Governor or not,
as one of the fairest, squarest PROPOSE
tions ever penned by a candidate for Of
flee in Mississippi. Mr.. Scott does not
mince words-he goes to the root of the
evil as welr as to the honey of the good,
and builds a platform on which only
honest men may stand. His views on
public questions and matters of State
policy are so plainly and tersely put
that he who runs may read. He calls
for high ground campaign and canvass
of the State, and all Mississippians will
hope to see every other candidate fall
in line with loud "amen" to that prop
Standardization County Journal.
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1906-06-02

That our choice for governor is the
most talked-of and popular candidate
in the field there is no doubt. Drop
ping in the Hotel Trolio a few evenings
since we overheard conversation among
a batch of drummers. Everyone of them
were unanimous for Hon. Charles Scott.
They state that he is very strong and
is more talked of than any other aspirant
for the position. Much can be concluded
from this, as there are no men who
pass over more territory or come in
closer contact with the people than the
drummers, and what they hear and dis
cuss generally means something.-Can-
ton Picket.
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1906-06-02

It is surprising how a good reputa-
ton travels. Hon. Charles Scott, of
Rosedale, has received laudatory men
ton by newspapers all over the State
during the past few weeks; he seems to
be as we'll known in one section as an
other, and his progressive spirit and high
sense of honor seem to be universally
appreciated Mr.. Scott is an able and
energetic lawyer, a man of affairs and
is thoroughly equipped for the office to
which he aspires. He has a clear un-
derstanding of the conditions here, and
if elected, will do much toward putting
the State of Mississippi on a CONNER
cial footing with the older and richer
States of the Union. He will increase
the confidence which those abroad have
in us and our institutions.-The Yellow
Dog, Rnleville.
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1906-06-02

It would have been hard to choose an
orator better qualified for the occasion
of the Memorial Day celebration than
the Hon. Charles Scott. A veteran him
self and embodying in himself the high
and chivalric principles for which the
Southern soldier has always been dis
tinguished, it was eminently fitting that
he should have pronounced the eulogium
on the honored dead; recalling their
merits to their surviving comrades, and
impressing the occasion upon the minds
of younger hearers not only by the
loftiness of the theme, but by the per-
sonality of the gifted speaker.-vicks-

MR.. scorr'S PLATFORM.

The Hon. Charles Scott, one of the
foremost men of Mississippi, has pub

in seeking the Democratic nomination
for Governor of his State.
The platform touches upon very few
of the political issues in Mississippi-so
few. indeed. that it can hardly be called
a political document. But Mr.. Scott,
though taking keen and intelligent
interest in public affairs, has never been

scorr,s PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

While many of the supporters OF Mr..
Scott and of Judge Truly are enlisting
votes in their behalf by presenting them
as the candidates of rival factions, the
mere disclaimer of factionalism by the
candidates themselves will avail but lit
tle.-Lexington Advertiser.
We do not think our Lexington friend
can cite a journal or prominent Demo-
crat among the supporters of Mr.. Scott
who resorts to this questionable and
impolitic line of campaigning. On the
other hand, they have endeavored and
are endeavoring to entirely avoid these
complications and "entangling alliances"
As to Judge Truly's supporters, they can
speak for themselves; we have not kept
tab" on their movements and are not in
their confidence.-Aberdeen Examiner.
In the famous campaign of 1881 there
was shrewd attempt to raise discord
against the Democratic nominee, Gov. X.
Lowry. 1t was sought to create the inn
preston that his election would prejudice
the reelection of Senator Lamar. Hav-
ing had his attention directed to the eff
fort, the Senator made use of the apt ex-
preston, "Let every man tote his own
skillet" That is the position of the
Hon. Chas. Scott exactly. He is "toting
his own skillet" only and alone, and
seems to be doing it well, too.-Vicks-
