TEACHING 4 CHILD TO REAL

Most children learn how to read,
very few what to read Parents send
the little ones to school, and there
they learn to get the thoughts of 9th
ers from the printed page, but the
parents too often forget that this new
acqusit ton may be used for either
good or evil, very few realize how a
child's life may be blighted by what
threads. Children had better never
learn at all than to read that which
corrupts the morals and destroys
the powers of mind. In some of the
best schools the children are taught
what to read, as we'll as how to read.
Where this is done the in telligent
co operation of the parents is of the
greatest Importance Where this is
not done, the parent must either at
tend to the matter themselves, or
leave their children to be led by fancy
and impulse in their choice of reading
matter

The local paper should be found

Tho local paper should be found
in every home No children should
grow up ignorant who can be taught
to appreciate the home paper. 1t is
said to be the stepping stone of intel
ligence in all those matters not to be
found in books. Give your children
a foreign paper which contains not
word about any person, place or
thing, which they saw or perhaps
ever heard of, and how could you
expect them to be interested. But
let them have the home paper and
read of people whom they meet and
of places of which they are familiar
and soon an interest is awakened
which increases with every arrival
of the local paper Thus a habit
of reading is formed and those chill
dren will read the papers all their
lives and become intelligent men and
women, a credit to their ancestors.

IT is SO easy to criticise ones neigh
Dor who has gone wrong in morals,
or made failure in business, and
so hard to give credit for the effect
of the influences impelling him to ois-
aster, over which he has no control,
that our criticism Of others is often
very urcharitable. Men often say
how good they would have been, on
what they would have accomplished
had they been in the other man S
place They do not stop to ask why
the fellow that was in the other shoes
did not succeed. If they did they
would often find the man who went
wrong, or who failed, was entitled to
great credit for standing up so brave
| ly under forces and burdens that
might easily have overthrow his ac-
cusers. Sometimes the man who
fails is greater hero than another
who wins.

Cutting acreage and holding cotton

duets for profitable prices? No.
None Ct these kind Of farmers are
waiting for profitable prices for these
products. but on the other hand buy
ers are going all over the country
looking for these farm products and
are paying fine prices. The producers
s)f this kind Of South Carolina farm
products are not holding and hunting
for buyers but the opposite condition
is here. The buyers are on the hunt
all the while for this stuff, and this
is no new condition Of things IN
South Carolina. Is it not strange that
all animals, even gulttonous beasts,
learn to know when they get enough
Of thing? But, some how or other.
some Of our silly all-cotton farmers
seem never to know when they have
got enough cotton. The more home
supplies one has about him the easier
it is to hold cotton. You cannot starve
a cook any more than you can starve
out a farmer that raises all these
home supplies.
This kind of South Carolina farmer
can hold on to his cotton until his
clothes are worn into holes and the
tax man comes.

Mr. J. T.. Stribling, Pendleton, S. G..
The question Of planting is now be-
fore the members Of the Union, and
the subject of reduction Of cotton
acreage has been sprung; and I be-
lieve every member is willing to do
the right thing about the matter, but
don't know just what that Is. Now,
it seems to me that the only way to
make Il practical suggestion is that
every man be his own judge i'll the
premises based on this: Be sure to
plant enough grain to make all You
need, if a short crop IS made. Now.

brother. if You belong to that list and
want the respect Of your union quit
it right now land take some of that
land You meant to plant in cotton
and put it in corn. You are the man
that We want to reduce. You are not
treating yourself nor your brothers
right. We ought to put a stop to the
shipment Of corn to our country. We
can do it and not get hurt, but to the
contrary be helpful to ourselves. This
is the doctrine of the Old Grange.
which is one Of the fundamental doe
trines of the Farmers union. How
and what to make was the mission Of
the Grange. To supply money to pay
for it was the doctrine Of the Alliance.
Hence the only new idea Of the un-
ion is how to get value received tor
our product. So I do hope that the
apologists for the Grange and the
Alliance will cease forever their
songs Of despair. I for one am con-
vinced that there never has been
grander successes than the two above
named societies, making room for the
union. They lived to establish their
principles in the hearts and minds Of
the people and stopped (and died
some would say.} They are not dead.
No, by no means. How to make is

all the doctrines Of the Grange firmly

and the various demands of. the ALI

As in the Grange. So will the union
