PAGE AND THE FARMERS.

The Graphic recently criticised Commissioner of Agriculture John Ii Page for censuring those who arc urging the farmers to diversity and offering advice concerning the grow ing of crops other than cotton The Graphic objected to the commission CTS attitude because 1t was likely to have a bad effect; likely to lead many farmers to believe they should persist in the one-crop system unless they were rendered financial assist ance to alter their custom. This weeks letter of Commissioner Page.s shows, however, that he did not in- tend to defend the one-crop farmer, that MT. Page believes as strongly as others who think that the farmer must grow more of other crops and less cotton And, while still insist ing that the farmers know how to di,lsrsify and need aid to cnat;c them to do so," Mr Page himself prof fers some saie and sane advice to the farmers, telling them what crops may be grown prefitably in this state.

URGES STUDENTS TO
 BUILD CHARACTER
$. c. Alexander Addresses High
 School Pupils, Giving Lesson From His Experience.
(By Mary Sorrells)

(By Mary SOfrellS)
 s. c. Alexander conducted the ex- ercises at the High school Monday morning. Mr. Alexander talked on "Aircastles and Character Building as fellows:
 { My friends, in my young days I did not have the Opportunity oi going to wonderful school like the Pine Bluff High school. I was born in 1858 in Carolina, and was sent U a three months session school taught by an old maid And I have not forgotten. my young friends, the troubles l had all of which you do not experience in High school. l was born on a turpentine farm, at that time they did not raise cotton.
 Later I began building great air castles, and I greatly desired to be soldier with a blue suit and big brass buttons. When seventeen years Of age, my mother moved to Wageborough, Carolina. Then 1 was sent to Bingham Military school and there l wore my first store bought clothes.
 '"The first week l was called upon CO SpCdk luC CtCIi OCiOOI, consisting of 460 pupils. Never hav- ling spoken before such vast audi ence, I was very much embarrassed, but finally quoted a verse from Nc Guffey's fourth reader. I was graded high, not upon the speech, but upon the courage of talking before such a large audience. This was lesson to me and it took the country con- ceit out of me.
 ct will not do to build air castles too large. Build them. but back them with judgment. Hand in hand with aircastles is the building of characters.
 q nope there is not a boy in Pine Bluff High school that think$ him. self above any of the rest. When you leave this world let everybody speak we'll of you. Never underesti- mate your neighbor. When you go into the business world you have g fight of your own. Speak to every one you know.
 "All boys are building an ark as Noah did, you have your mother and father to start you, but you have to complete it yourself
 MT. Alexander was loudly applaud ed, and was thanked heartily for the interesting speech, by Prof. Allen on behalf of the school.
