Now is the time to prepare for har-
vesting the small grain crop. Of all
the busy months in the cotton states
the harvest times are the times of the
most work and the shortest time to do
1t in. Cotton and corn crops and small
grain all need attention about the
same time.
Farmers Unions can aid each other
through these extremely busy weeks
ny clubbing - together and buying
binders, threshing machinery and 9TH
er costly farm machinery, that per-
haps may be too much outlay for one
farmer to foot up; and if the Union
does not see fit to buy this machinery
they can combine and contract with
some member that will do all this har-
vcsting machine work for them at the
proper time, and thus make it possible
to guarantee sufficient work to iusti-
ty progressive young man to invest
in an up-to-date outfit. This kind Of
work is right along the straight road
with the true principles Of the Farm
ers' Union. Farm labor is now too
nigh to use only behind the best farm
machinery, tools, team and imple
ments. If one farmer cannot afford
to get the best Of all these, the far
ers must combine their efforts and
help each other, SO as to obtain this
important help just at the time when
improved machinery is most needed
upon the farm. Union men, take hold
OF this harvest question now and get
ready for hot times ahead .a. ...' ..

Taking No Chances.

A Glasgow steamer was laboring in
a heavy sea, the waves sometimes
sweeping her decks, but the officers
had assured the passengers that there
was no danger, and all seemed rea-
sonably quiet with the exception Of
one meek-appearing' little man, who,
every few minutes, would approach an
officer, and anxiously inquire if he
thought the ship would founder.
"No, tell you!" one of the off,
GERS finally exclaimed, with impn-
tience. "What is the matter with
you9" Look at those other people
they are not scared to DEATH"
"Oh, I'm not scared' the man re-
piled; "but if the ship was going
to founder, | wanted to know a lit
tie ahead Of time.
ooh, wanted to tell your friends
good bye, and all that7'
"Well, not exactly" the man said,
hesitatingly; "the fact is, my moth
er-in-law is along with me, and if the
ship was quite sure to sink, 1 wanted
to say a few things to her.'

who does it., 1t is disagreeable to all
who hear it. There is no good in it
whatever, it is nearly always unjust,
and without exception, uncertain.
1t is very difficult to be sure when
anyone is to blame for anything. 1t
is much safer to assume that no one
is to blame.
Why blame anyone7 The matter
is past. The thing has been done. The
next thing TO do is to try to prevent
repetition of the occurrence. Bla-
ming children, blaming scholars, bla-
ming co-workcrs, or superiors, is very
bad business. If something has hap
rened that is evidently wror.: or I'M
pleasant, maybe something can be
done to prevent the thing happening
again. To go about it in vigorous
but judiei"us way, to fix it so the
same thin; shall not be repeated, this
is sensible. But to waste time in bla-
ming each is foolish.

CARDOZO SCHOOL IN NATIONAL
CAPITAL.
Representative Aiken Calls Commits
sioner Vests Attention to Re-
cent Article in 1.-THE State.''

Feeling that South Carolinians had
an interest in the naming Of school
building in Washington after the ne
gro state treasurer and convict Car
dozo' and thinking that the district
commissioners would be glad to know
any adequate objection to such
thing, Representative Wyatt Aiken
when he saw the story on the subject
in the State some days ago wrote a
letter to Mr.. Henry l.. West, one Of
the district commissioners, protesting
against the contemplated course. Mr..
West is democrat. He has replied
to Mr.. Aiken s letter. The whole let
ter may interest the readers of the
State. 1t is as follows:
Hon. Wyatt Aiken,
House Of Representatives
Dear Mr.. Aiken: I beg to ac-
knowledge receipt Of your letter in
closing clippings from the "Columbia
State,' with reference to the naming
of school building in Washington
after the late f. L. Cardozo. I have
examined into the records and find
that the recommendation as to the
name was made to the commissioners
by the board of education Gin view
Of his long and eminent service to the
colored race and more particularly OF
his work in the cause Of education,
rs principal Of the NJ Street High
school.' [ did not know-and I am
quite certain that the other commits
sioners were equally unacquainted
with---Mr. Cardozo's s record in South
Carolina. AS far as we had any
knowledge, Mr.. Cardozo was a good
citizen in the District of Columbia
and, unquestionably, is held in ex-
ccllent repute for his work in connec-
ton with the colored schools. In this
connection I note that the cores
pondent Of the "Columbia State"
accepts the statement that Cardozo
"bore good character here," and
that "there is nothing that I can
learn which would indicate that he
ever managed to get hold Of any pub
lie moneys or sell any State or nation
al bonds, appropriating the proceeds
to his private uses, as in the good old
days Of yore." In other words, there

The supremacy in English history
Of little Prince Edward Of Wales is
matter of justiiable pride to his pa
rents and tutors, but, according to a
story in the London Telegraph, his
knowledge Of periods and personages
is healthily tempered by the uncon-
scious humor of the average school
boy Of eleven years.
He was being examined recently on
the time and reign Of Henry VII.
"Who was Perkin Warbeck he
was asked. .. W
"Perkin Warbeck was a pretender,n
replied the prince. "He pretended to
be the son Of king, but he WASH It.
He was the son Of respectable par
ents.'
