The Same Recipe.

A Western agriculture page tells
the story OF two country boys. One
was ambitious and early left the
farm for a job in the city. lie was
the older and esteemed to be the
family's particular joy and pr Mise,
He is now a street car conductor in
Chicago. The younger boy aged
on the farm. He read and studied
when the opportunity came. Today
he owns a farm said to be worth
$4,000.
What is the moral? Evidently
the intended one is that it pays to
stay in the country and invest ones
time and money in farm lands
Perhaps it is better to leave it so.
Indeed, in the majority of cases
the brother who stays on the farm
will be more comfortable provided
for age than will he who seeks his
fortune in a city.
Yet one may excuse a little
curiosity as to the conclusion of the
Western story, had the bright elder
son chosen to stay in the country
and the younger and more studious
one Joined the urban migration.
There is at least possibility that
he who is now a street car conduc-
tor would under the reversed con-
ditions have become a poor tenant
farmer whose annual income barely
pays for rent, clothes and farming
tools. And the studious one had

ing the more prosaic course of re-
naming a farmer, might now, Of

Animals In Cold Weather.

The wild animal that minds the
cold the least is undoubtedly tie
rabbit Indeed, it is said that the
rabbit is, of all warm blooded crea-
lures, the most capable of with
standing very low temperatures. A
rabbit which had got into a block
of ice was imprisoned there twelve
hours. When freedom was finally
secured. it began almost instantly
to feed.
Hares, too can stand a lot of cold
so long as they can get food. The
Alpine hare which is found in Cum
berland and Scotland, never seems
Inconvenience by the WorstS frOsts
The Arctic fox is another creature
which no degree of cold seems to
bother. 1t is one of the very few
animals of the Arctic regions which
does not hibernate.
Of domestic animals, sheep come
first as cold resisters. In great
blizzard which swept England in
1891, sheep were dug out of the
drifts that had been buried twenty
four days, They were still alive.
Next to sheep in cold weather
hardness comes goats and then
pigs.
Among the birds, thrushes and
blackbirds seem able to endure less
cold than the finch tribe, of which
the house sparrow is the common
est type. The hedge sparrow ap-
pears, of all birds, to be the most
affected by cold.

freezes, comfortably making their
winter homes in lakes that are

Preacher and Editor.

The following summary of the
situation, from an exchange, is
evidently written by some one who
speaks from experience:
Editing a newspaper in some re-
spects is good deal like preaching
the gospel, truth must be presented
in the form of generalities or some
fellow will get hit and howl. Few
persons like truth, even the homeo-
PATH doses, if it hits them. But
while preachers criticize editors for
what they say, no one thinks of
giving them credit Tor what they
do not say. Yet what they keep
to themselves constitutes the major
portion of what they know about
people
Very many people harOOr the be-
lief that newspapers are eager to
publish derogatory things. Its a
mistake, There isn't newspaper
that couldn't spring a sensation in
the community at any time by
merely telling what it knows. There
is not a newspaper that does not
keep under the lock Of secrecy
scores Of dero9atory things which
never meet the public eye or reach
the public ear. Deciiing what not
to print is the most troublesome
part of newspaper work.
The many good stories suppress
ed because of the innocent relatives
and for the good of the public no.
body outside of newspaper office
has any way of knowing
In some instances he who flies
into passion because newspaper
prints something about him which
he, considers uncomplimentary has
ever reason to feel profoundly crate
full to the NEWSPAPER for publishing
so little of what it knows about him
And oftimes the loudest buffer is
the most vulnerable to attack. A
big noise is often a device employ
ed to cover trepidation.
Newspapers put UP more bluffing
than any other agency would en-
dure. 1t is not because they lack
courage; it is because they are I'M
willing to.use their power to destroy
or ruin unless the interest of society
imperatively demands it.
It might be well for some people
to reflect upon these truths and in
silent gratitude accept mild ad-
monition lest worse befall.

A Modern Lumber Yard.

Forced to enlarge the already
big lumber yards twice during
his two years of business, vastly
increased storage room under
cover, bigger shipments, and a
stronger and stronger hold upon
the confidence of the people this
briefly. is the history of one of
Hendersenville Is best known busi-
ness firms, that of Mr.. j. r. Will
son, dealer In lumber of all kinds
as well as building material of all
kinds, too. In fact, if there is
anything that goes into new
house which is not handled by Mr..
Wilson, that gentleman would be
glad to know of it.
But really, the marked increase
in the business done by this firm
during its two years Of life here
reflects the steady growth
of Hendersonville. For instance,
the yards have been enlarged
twice during that time. Addi-
tional sheds have been provided.
A much larger stock is carried.
Mr.. Wilson has a car load of the
unquestionably superior Ajax tin
shingles now on the road, making
four cars Of this fine article sold
here In the past three months.
Again, Mr.. Wilson has contracted
with one mill alone for two ghun-
dred thousand feet of framing
which is some amount of lumber,
you will admit. He orders even
such an article as window weights
by the solid car, and most every
thing else In the same way.
The motto of this firm, Quail
Eity, is. possibly, the one word
that explains its success. Some
contractors there are who believe
lJ. r. Wilson 3 No. 2 stuff is equal
| to much sold elsewhere as No. /.
However that may be, certain it Is
that the motto of Quality, " is q
fitting one, and under all circum-
stances is it lived up to.

Mr.. Parker is at the head Of or is
interested in nine big cotton mills
in this state and his visit to Char

of presenting to the Charleston
