Flat Rock School Boy Writes
Again

What are we doing?" Let me
think moment. How time does
fly. / wonder if there is real living
person, even child, whose days are
as long as they would like to have
them. All will say no. Then let us
scatter sunshine every day, for we
will not pass again this way and
every deed in Jesus shall not lose
its reward.
will make my start by telling
whatI think the most important
thing for boys and girls to consider.
1t is that we should all try to get
an education. This should be our
great aim. We ought to improve
every spare moment of our time. 1t
aids in bearing one over the rough
and rugged parts of life. Every boy
and girl ought to try to get an
education. Our parents give us the
privilege and many times deny
themselves for their children.
1 have been loving my books ever
since 1 was knee high to
grssshopper (excuse this expression
We were delighted to see the
letter from the Harmony school
Mr.. Minis, 1 am afraid my letter

is a very old adage. How long be-
fore it is we learn some very simple
lesson. 1t is so plain after we once
learn it. We are surprised and
at our ignorance.
Now last but not least comes the
tacky party given some. days ago by
Mrs. Kenrick to the Flat Rock
school. The doors were thrown wide
open. by this kind hearted good
lady and the grand supper was fine.
The Flat Rock school will never
forget it. To see the boys and girls
dressed in tacky style was very
amusing. The games and singing
were also very entertaining. Mr..
Minis l cannot tell you half l saw.
We kept up a merry laughter the
whole time. Finally l tipped my

Resolutions Adopted by The
Long Cane Agricultural
Club.

Resolved: That the custom now
prevailing in our county of buying
negro tenants, that is to say of
making advances or becoming re-
sponsible for debts previously con-
tracted, in order to move them up
on our premises is detrimental to
ourselves and progressive agricul-
ture.
End That we hereby pledge our
selves, on our honor, to discontinue
the evil practice summarily, and
henceforth we will neither directly
nor indirectly through ourselves or
any agency whatsoever make any
advances nor assume any debt of
any negro laborer for the purpose
of having him to move upon any
lands either owned or cultivated by
ourselves respectively.
3rd That the present tenant sys-
tenn which has been in vogue for
the last 80 years is perhaps the
greatest obstacle in the way of pro-
gressive agriculture. That it has not
only depleted our soil fertility, but
has demoralized labor and drives
much of it from the confines of our
state.
4th The practice in the last few
years of moneyed men in the towns
buying up estates in the country
districts for the purpose of selling
and renting them to negroes to the
oflaboring white people is
an evil which must receive the con-
demnation of every agricultural
community, in that it exerts a bad
influence upon other labor, and se-
riously interferes with our school,
churches and entire social system.
5th That we extend hearty well
come to the moneysd men of the
towns and es ,,ecially the town farm
ers to come among us, and take per-
sonal charge of their farms and
landed estates, believing as we do
that this will give them a true insight
into the condition of affairs in the
outlying country districts.
9th That a copy of these reselu-
tiona be published in all of the
county papers.
