ACTIVE ELDERLY MEN.
How They Preserve Their Efficiency.
Secrets OF Good Health.

The activity and good health of the
man over 40 is one of the features of
the present day, says the London Mail.
Undoubtedly" observed a member
of the Royal Statistical Society, "eld-
erly people appear to maintain what
one may call a greater efficiency than
they did years ago. I think this is
largely due to the great growth in
medical skill and also to the fact that
people-particularl those in respons
ible positions-study their physical
fitness far more than used to be the
case. The man of As or so years ap-
pears to-day, by careful dieting, golf
and healthy exercise generally, to

head Of a prominent city firm, lis
that men in the city preserve their
efficiency nowadays far longer than
they used to do. l know old men, as
you may call them, who still bear
upon their shoulders the responsible
ties of some big concern. Years ago
they would have been sitting at home
in their slippers at such an age. "
Elderly men study their appear
ance far more than they used to do"
said the manager of a city bank. "They
wear collars and ties and styles in.
dress which make them look smart
and youthful. From my experience it

activities nowadays. put it down to

the medical man tells him to do he
does exactly. His one desire is to
keep fit, and he manages to do So"

SMALL FARMS, WHITE FARMERS.

Smaller farms and more white farm
ers is the burden of an editorial in
the Progressive Farmer, of Raleigh
IN. c. The Progressive Farmer isn't
wide of the mark when it points out
that the great need of the South is
more boys on the farms. AS Editor
Poe well says: "All we want is to
encourage the development of a pros
porous class of small white farmers
the backbone of the South or of any
country" Smaller farms necessarily
implies more intensive cultivation and
more wealth to the state. One of the
chief arguments of the Progressive
Farmer, however, is based on the fact
that as the whites drift to the towns
and cities the negroes are slowly but
surely adding to their land holdings,
and it fears that if this tendency is
not checked, the time may come when
the negroes will be in a position not
conducive to the best interests of the
South. To show that there is a steady
enlargement of land holdings by ne
groes, our contemporary notes the fact
tat Prof. w. E. Dubois, a prominent
Georgia negro educator, has just pub
lished a map showing that since 1900
Georgia negroes have increased their
land holdings from $4,000 to 10000
acres, and now own within the state
of Georgia alone an area larger than
the entire state of Delaware"

although the descendant Of Worth, the

many souvenirs of the Empress En-

early days. At that time 200 francs
was very high price to pay for a

lowing details: A white straw bon,
net trimmed with lavender ribbon and
rosebuds, 100 francs; wreath of
roses for evening wear, 81 francs, and
a nightcap of fine lace and lawn, %

Compare any OF these prices with
those of to-day and it will be seen
that the increase of late years is con
siderable. The feather hats of las

were examined. The principal claim
of the contestor is that the county
commissioners of Las Anamis county
failed to select for Democratic judges

commissioners failed to do this, the
Democratic party did not have proper

Exemption Repeal Killed.

In the House there was considerable
talk on Mr.. Greenman's bill to repeal
the law, enacted two years ago. to ex-
empt from taxation residence property
belonging to church societies. Mr..
Greenman declared the law to be
invalid and unconstitutional. and that
his only. motive in asking the repeal
was to cut dead wood out OF the stat
utes. Mr.. Helbig stated that the law had
been passed merely as convenience
or excuse for assessors. They had been,
he said, neglecting to assess these resi-
dences, and the law was made that
they might have legislative sanction.
The whole question of church exemp-
ton was pretty well hashed over, pro
and con. after which the enacting
clause of the bill was stricken out
