Hor. .reEce L. Poe, associate editor
OF tie $ ashcra Farm Gazette, g.yes out
the ic.lowi-g cry strong editorial on the
subjeet 1 &c lu.ring hor e. oy Ge white
farm,.s cf e South In this editorial
Mr.. Pc sounds the note CT warning
that il :; be well to take heed of.
eve pc We have seen about tie last
of So rl Vile farmers leaving the
farms 70 ,a.,c Wo.l, in cotton mills. We
are anxious to see the manufacturing
of the South build up, but
we are more anxious to see the farm
lands Of the South held by prosperous
small white farmers now, and to see
these small white farmers have their part
in the great agricultural awakening go
irg on.
Some one has wisely said that in all
sges and all countries the men of the
classes who own the land sooner or later
made themselves the aristocracy of that
country. We have not come to this CON
jition so rapidly in America as in other
because OF the abundance of
cheap land resulting from the newness
Of settlement and the sparseness of pop
rlation as yet; but in the long run the
history cf other countries must be re-
peated here
These thoughts came very forcibly to
mind as we rode through a cotton mill
village the other day and saw its hun

dreds OF white employes-men, women
and children who have left the farm to
Jcccme the homeless hirelings Of the
cotton manufacturers. The negroes, find
ing no place III manufacturing for them,
are left CT the farm and are becoming
land owners in rapidly increasing num-
bers. Net only this, but the negro chill
GIen are going to school and developing
healthy bodies in the open air and heal
thy surroundings of country life instead
Of being shut up in a cotton mill over
worked, under-educated, and poorly de-
velopcd physically as the tendency must
be in all cotton mills so long as the
legisia lures of the South are too sub
scryieEt to the less humane mill owners
to enact needed laws for restricting child
labor in the mills-the less humane mill
owners, we say, because there are many
thoughtful and far-seeing mill owners
who heartily favor stricter regulations.
we have no ill-wil toward the cotton
manufacturers; we have no ill-will to-
ward the negro; we do realize very
trcnqly. however, that the safety of the
South depends upon the presence Of a
large white rural population. The drift
from the farm to the cotton mill not
oily a-eeis this directly but also in
directly, because when once the pepula-
ton of "a community becomes predom-
inantlT NEGRO. the small number Of
r. Lie leoD.e lett may DE forced 10 move
out in order to find sufficient numbers
or q soc;o.v Of their own. 1t was wise
laying Of James divers, Happy is the
land that Is tiled by the man who owns
IT," ana tie great need of the South to
lay is to encourage the 10 ding OF small
farms by white farmers. We repeat that
az Ills il no ill-will Il the Nero,
but because the best interests C both
races demand that the rural South main
tain its large white population Unless
t.is is done the negro himself will not
rros-er. as REPLY as he will with white
guidance, and unless this is done the
cites Of TIE South must inevitably go
backward.
We urge every white tenant farmer,
aud specially every whate man who for
any reason is thinking of becoming some
bodys bred man in town instead of
owniac his own home in the country, to
buy land We must encourage the spirit
of homecoming with every man sitting
under his own vine and fig tree, and we
must especially encourage the develop
iaent Of a great class of small white
farmers. The saving of the rural South
to the white race is one of the most i'm
portant problems now before the people
OF the Gotten telt.
ON this correction, there IS another
thing that ought to he mentioned, and
that is tie problem OF immigration. TIE
Farmers Union and other farmers or

EFFECT OF MOON
NMnNRF4H0 n 81


4 49, current opinion among many
fArmers that IL you plant potatoes in
che dark OF the moon they will run
ito tuhexz. and II in the light of the
moon they will run to tops. This Is
also said to be true of any root crop
and It Is planted accordingly.
There IL usually basis in fact, for
any approximation, and the moon
x1perstttution was SO deeply rooted
tA4t q number of experts of the De-
pArtment of Agriculture while going
arcalnd the crop made it their business
to study the question and see whether
there might not be a germ of truth, or,
ut lsazt, some reason for the general
belief that the moons phase have an
eGect on animal and vegetable life
Thay have concluded after patient in
Vextt;sation, that the moon myth Is
one Of the comparatively few myths
that dates back to pure savagery and
has absolutely not a scientific leg to
stand on.
The neld workers of the department
have found that at least 75 per cent. of
the farmers of the country put il
THAR crops and do a good many other
things about the farm governed abso-
lHtsay by the moons phases. The
agricultural experiment stations all
over the country have for years been
detytng the superstition and raising
just as good crops. If not better, when
the moon was one way as when it was
the other. as farmers do when gov
erned by the lunar light.

Temperance Work in London.

The London county council con-
tinues to encourage the efforts to
spread temperance sentiment in the
great metropolis, and reduce the gen
eral amount of intemperance by edu-
eating the public as to the evils of
alcohol. For four great meetings
convened to discuss alcohol in relation
to social life, the London county
council has granted the use of the
county hall at Spring Gardens. At
the first of the meetings. the lord
chief justice will take the chair. and
Alcohol and Child Life" will be dis
cussed. The subjects for considera-
ton in succeeding meetings will be
Alcohol and Unemployment" ALEC
hol and the National Wage" and CAL

tinguished physicians and eminent
temperance workers will be among
the speakers. The meetings are be
ing organized by the National Tenn
perance league, who are making some
special researches the results of
which will be presented at the meet
ings In the form OF memoranda.

NERVES TO-DAY AND

Prof Hugo Munsterberg INDUCES
what he calls justitiable doubt as to
whether nervousness has increased
In our time. In supporting his doubt
he seems to place neurasthenia on
pretty much the same basis with APP
p@ndicitts, which had its victims for
many years before it came into its
present title and its modern treatment
By surgeons. Earlier periods had not
80 many names for the symptoms OF
nervousness and were not able to dis
orim1nate them with the same clear
ness; yet the troubles were there, the
middle ages, for instances, developing
severe diseases of the nervous system
In an almost epidemic way which is
nearly unknown to our times.

No Rebate For Negro Preacher.

In the supreme court Justice Smith
handled the case entitled Illinois Gem
trail Railroad Company VS.. Sam Durning,
appealed from the circuit court of Pam
ola county. The appellee is negro
preacher who brought suit against the
railroad company for what he considered
unjust and unreasonable discrimination,
in that the company declined to give
him the benefit of its reduced rate of ,
cents a mile to ministers of the Gospel.
He was given Judgment in the circuit
court for $515. The case was reversed
and dismissed, the court holding that
there was no legal demand on the rail-
road company to make such rates, they
being optional, and not legally enforce
able, and consequently the action could
not be sustained.

cultural resources. Money used for this
purpose is by no means an expenditure,
but an investment. Every dollar of add
ed wealth is the means for producing
greater revenue for the use of state,
county and municipal purposes. These
dollars are as bread cast upon the waters

During the past four years the num-
her of county fairs has been increased
almost four fold and the prospects for
corresponding increase for the next four,
is exceedingly good. Nothing tends more
to increase interest in ayr Itural, horti-
cultural and live stock uits than a
well conducted fair Tho who have
exhibited as we'll as attend can testify
to the truthfulness of q statement
They should be encoura in every
legitimate manner until the ounty with
out enc would be an exception instead
of the rule
Many states-a majority Of them-en-
courage the fairs by making an appro-
priation for distribution according to
proper rules and regulations, and APP
piled to agricultural, horticultural and
live stock premiums. Is it not about
tire that Mississippi considered this
matter? Would not snail sum to
be divided among the fairs of the coun-
ties, upon an equitable and just basis,
be ? cod Investment?
legislators that desire TO do some
thing of real benefit to their constitu-
er!s might begin now to consiler this
matter ard frame an act that would
supply this need. It would be an m
vestmcnt AMI not an expenditure The
pso0le are ready for the fairs and they
should be properly encouraged.
1t was the writers privilege some time

gratifying to know the splendid reputa-

The people are responsible for this
state OF affairs. No man who is known
to have an inclination to fall into this
common error could be elected constable
of the remotest district in Mississippi.
The voters are alert and east their bal
