The suggestion had in view taking

the chief advantages In this plan would
be due to the fact that the real settler,
instead of having to borrow private
capital at 8 or 10 per cent. could I'm the
manner outlined have the use OF state
funds mt mot more than per cent
while the fact that good share OF the
tedious work or grubbing the land
which would be done in advance would
tend to encourage settlement. Cap

Portugal,s Decline.

Por ugal has not always been the
small affair that it is today. The lit
tie country once meant a great deal
more than it does at present To Por-
tugal belongs the honor Of having been
the leader in fifteenth century explora-
ton and discovery. Her great prince,
known as Henry the Navigator" may
well be called the father of deep sea
navigation. 1t was owing to his zeal
that the voyages began which were to
end In the decentralization OF Africa
and the finding Of the way to India.
Until well into the sixteenth century
POrtu gal was rich in colonial posses
sionS ard was not without great
weight in the diplomacy of Europe,
but by the close of the century her
decline began.

Negro Farmers Increasing.

The Augusta Herald finds much
sug~gestiveness in the fact that be-
tween 1900 and 1910 the number of
farms in South Carolina increased by
2O,825 and that Of this increase con-
siderably more than half are owned
by negroes. The Herald comments
upon the fact that the reduction in
the size of the farms incidental upon
the increase in their number cannot
but make for closer and more produc-
tive cultivation. The same thing
to a greater or less extent is to be
observed throughout the entire South,
and the phenomenon gives great en-
couragement to those who believe
that the South's greatest material de-
velOpment cannot be brought about
until it's agricultural methods become
truly intensive.
Important as is this phase, of the
figures, we believe there is even great
er significance in the number of col
ored owners The negro who cult
Yates his own land has given the
surest kind of a hostage to good citi-
zenship. AS a day-laborer or as a
tenant on shares his interest in the
community's welfare is often less
strong than his natural impulse to
occasional misbehavior. Let him ac-
quire a few acres of his own and not
only will his own conduct be circum-
spect but his influence with his fellows
will usually be found on the side of
orderliness and industry.

Rural Gentleman Comes Back Third
Time and Says Els Worth. the
Money
A young who occupies a
ticket box in front of a ten-cent thea
ter on Broadway every afternoon is
a very pretty girl. In addition to her
loneliness, she is pleasant to every
body who approaches the window.
Recently a ~ruralist stepped up to
the window and, grinning, bought a
ticket. She thanked him and he
slowly left. There vas a line in
front of the ticket box Five min
utes later the girl saw the same fell
low standing before her.
Mother ticket, please" he said,
wearing the grin.
She sold it to him and he stepped
aside. 1t wasn't ten minutes till he
had worked his way up in the line
again.
Say" the girl said, recognizing
him. "I've sold you two tickets. What
are you going to do with them al1?"
81 dunno" replied foolishly, but
it's wuth the money to come up here
an get such a smile from you"
He didn't appear any more and, to
tell the truth, the girl was slightly
disappointed.-New York Telegraph.
