Business-Like Farming.

If a man has more land than he
can work with his own means,
he had better sell it OF
let it grow up in pines than
to parcel it out in the usual
way. But if the large tract was di-
vided into smaller ones, and decent
houses and outbuildings placed on
each, so that respectable man
could rent it, there might be a great
change. Then if the renting is ac-
companied by an agreement as to
the course of rotation to be adopted,
and just what part of the expenses
are to be borne by landlord and ten
ant, and the tenant assured that so
long as he farms right his tenancy
will be permanent, there would be
hope for the South. A similar sys-
tenn is in use in Maryland. Forty
two farms of the Mckinney estate
in Queen Anne County, Md, are
occupied by intelligent farmers, and
these farms have been improved
greatly in productiveness while rem
ted, and the late owner aud organi-
ger became a millionaire since the
war atfarming only. But so long as
the cotton farms have only cabins
for negroes and a little hog hovel
for the mules, respectable tenan-
try cannot be had, aud the land will
never improve under the annual
cropping system.
The example of the millionaire
cotton farmer, James Smith of Geor-
gia, shows what man of business
energy can make in cotton farming
where the improvement of the land
is kept in view. Mr.. Smith has built
up his immense plantation by de-
giees under his own supervision,
and not by putting croppers in to
grow weak cotton to bear the mar
ket in the fall. It is great pity
that men OF means in the South can
not see the great opportunities that
are afforded in business-like farm
ing. Farm Gazette.

Transportation the Key.

While the educational conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
recently meeting in Atlanta, was es-
pecially devoted to the subject ex-
pressed in its name, the Rev. DR..
Lee. prominent in Georgia and
throughout the entire South. took
occasion to speak of the material
riches of the Southern States and it
is story not alone of developed but
of undeveloped wealth and the un-
developed wealth is more largely by
lack of facilities for transportation
than from any other cause.
DR.. Lee declared that the "a, 900,
900 people of the South were more
favored in mineral and in agricul-
tural riches than any like number
of people on the globe and, it is
within the bounds of the most care
fully prepared official statitics to
state that DIR. Lee was moderate in
his declaration of natural resources
pertaining to the South. The re-
ports Of the Geological Survey of
iron and of steel ores of the South
equal the known iron and steel ore
area of all Europe; that the coal area
of the South is equivalent to 62, 900
miles, or fifty per cent in excess of
the coal area of Great Britain, Ger
many, France and Russia combined;
that the coal of Kentucky and West
Virginia alone and to say nothing
of the mines of Alabama and other
states of the South, is of the un-
doubted value of $40, 900, ,ooo, 900,
counting at ten cents per ton.
There is gold in Maryland, in
Georgia, In North Carolina and in
Virginia; there is coal and there is
iron In the greatest abundance in the
South; her cotton crop has averaged
in recent years $500, 600, 900 annu-
ally and yet, magnificent though
the results of the cotton crop are,
the 800, 900, 600 represents but one
third of the field products of the
South and it Is not alone in field
products that she is rich but in all
things that go to the making of
prosperous Commonwealths, save
in one thing Transportation, the

ed prosperity and advancement.

policy inaugurated and continued
by the National Rivers and Harbors

adequate annual appropriations
and with continuous work, is the
policy under which alone the ques-
ton of transportation can be solved.

The Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States Department of
Agriculture is resuming active oper-
ations for the eradication of the
cattle ticks which prevail in the
Southern part of the country and
transmit the contagion of Texas
fever of cattle. It's men are being
sent into the field and preparations
are being made to push the work of
determination vigorously during
the warm weather, when the ticks
are most active.
Various methods for extermina-
ting the ticks are used, including
transferring the cattle from pasture
to pasture at suitable intervals, and
dipping, spraying, and hand dress
ing the cattle with oil and oil emul-
sion. In sections where there are
large herds and large ranches dip
ping on large scale is practiced,
either alone or in connection with
pasture rotation. while in other sec
tions, where the cattle on some farm
frequently consist only of cow or
an OK team, hand dressing with oil
is found to be the only practicable
method.
The damage caused bv the ticks
and the benefits to follow from their
eradication are not generally appre-
ciated. 1t is estimated that the
Texas-fever tick is responsible for
about $40, 900, 900 of loss annually
to the people of the infected coun-
try. and that it also lowers the as
sets of the South by an additional
$23, $500 making the enormous
aggregate of sos, 100000. To wipe
out this heavy loss is the object of
the work now under way, and the
the results already accomplished
leave no doubt that success is posi-
BILE, through a number of years will
be required for the completion of
the undertaking. Much depends
upon the cattle owners, who can
either hasten or retard progress ac-

CLOSING Of county coIored schools

/
The colored graded schools of
Claiborne closed Friday, June I2th,
at St. Elmo, with large crowds
from all parts of the county. The
day was not one of those t'perfect"
days of June, but the interest of the
people in the closing was none the
iIess.
At eleven o'clock the exercises
began under large grove where a
stage had been built TO accommodate
the twenty-one graduates, their
teachers, county superintendent,
and visitors from abroad. The es-
says, orations and music showed
much thought in preparing same
and the delivery showed that the
pupils had their subjects well in
hand.
There were several, including the
superintendent, seated on the
stage, who gave frequent signs of
their approval of the manner in
which the program was carried out.
Next in order came the annual
address, delivered by DR.. M. M.
Ponton, of Jackson. The speaker
spoke to the satisfaction of all, his
speech being sprinkled here and
there with bits of humor. He dwelt
at length upon the life of that
matchless chieftain and Mississip-
plan, Jefferson Davis, whose life
has been and will ever be source
of inspiration to generations yet to
be.
The awarding OF the "Taylor"
flag postponed, substituted by re-
marks by Hon. Thos. Richardson.
He urged the boys and girls not to
flock to the towns and cities where
perhaps they are compelled to live
by unfair means.
Our County Superintendent, dis
tributed the diplomas. In a few
well chosen words he pointed out,
not only to the class, but to all,
their duty to their state and coun-
try, advising further that we must
not only be consumers, but produc-
ers as well. He advised further
that more should take to the fatm
and not so many to the already
crowded professions.
At the close of the exercises, Mr..
Barrett, who owns quite a deal of
land around St. Elmo, offered the
teachers place anywhere on the
plantation as a permanent location
for the commencement.
The colored people of our county
are proud of their schools and are
grateful to those who have so pa
Htiently reached a helping hand to
lift them up. They realize more and
more that they are part of this
great state, and that the public
schools, one Of the states greatest
free institutions, is the greatest
factor in lessening crime and rais-
ing them to racial greatness.
