Mark Twain's Tribute to the Negro.

All the negroes are friends or ours,
and with those OF our own age we

not comrades; color and condition in

a century, and yet spiritually | have

him In books under my own name and

raft, and even across the Desert OF
Sahara in a balloon and he has en-
dured it all with the patience and
friendliness and loyalty which were
his birthright. IL was on the farm

III matters mute and inanimate,

From the depot its 20 yards or more
To Windham and Miers Gen'l Mds. store.
Two honest men, as you will find.
Who cant see this is surely blind.
Everything they have is cheap as dirt,
They'll sell you a collar and throw In
shirt,
They'll greet you with a pleasant smile
And sell you goods of the latest style.
Next is Heath Bros department. store,
With dry goods and groceries galore,
They'll sell you bacon, rice and -four.
Sugar sweet and lemon sour,
They'll sell you these and lots beside
And In these men you may confde.
w. K. Miers runs the big hotel
Where hungry folks are fed quite well,
He'll take good care OF horse or mule,
And treat his guests by the golden rule.
He attends to his business, works his farm,
And does no mortal any harm.
The X. X. business is handled by two
or the cleverest men l ever knew.
A.. 5. Williams is the name of N
The other is J. W. kowes' son
You'll always mud them at their post,
And not afraid of man or ghost.

He's small in stature, large In brain,
And death on fevers. spasms. pain,
We've known this man since 81,
And know the South's no truer SON,
We've seen his black hair turn to gray,
And the flush OF manhood fade away
But S ill like the towering tree he stands
While governments are changing hands,
He's behind In the foremost ranks,
With scanty pay, and scantier thanks;
But Still he feels this truth impressed.
He did his uuty with the rest.
August Olson also lives here,
And pays his respects to Miss Dora dear,
A poor penniless lad was he
The first time Elliott he did see.
But with IA vim he went to work
And never did his duty shirk,
so now he OWNS a good estate,
And will the needy accommOdate.-RObert

At a recent conference held at
PnehurSt, N. c. to discuss education
and Development in the South, DIR.
S. A. Knapp, who Is n OF the pro-
motors in the movement to encourage
and improve farming. methods in the
South, made a speech in which he
said in part:
The large body of freshmen settled
throughout the rural districts of the
south has tended to lower farm values
and depress agriculture. The effect
is not the result OF color, but is caus-
ed by lower plane Of living. We have
lived under a slavery where the chains
are ingeniously forged and the hands
riveted with gold. 1t is all the same
in effect, the impoverishment OF the
masses"
DR.. Knapp declared that the ma
tional banking law has caused a de-
pressing influence by diverting most
of the money Of the country into
commercial channels. He advocated
the establishment OF agricultural
banks throughout the South to pro-
vide money for farmers to harvest
their crops and to improve their
farms. THE banking capital OF our
country" he said, has stimulated
commerciaiism and by it's %concentra-
tion in cities has foStered gambling in
stocks. The great fiuctuation in the
values of farms and farm products
lies in the fact that the money OF the
country has been loaned to the spec
ulative interests" Agricultural
banks he said. should be established
to assist in carrying out the plan OF
colenizing the country with thrifty
home-ownerS. Millions produced by
the farmers Of the nation" said DR..
Knapp, have by banking processes
been transferred to commerce, and no
way has been provided under the law
by which the money of the people al
be used by the people for time invest
mentS in providing for ownership of
rural homes
The conference ordered DR.
Knapp'S speech printed and circulat
ed in every State in the south.
