The Preside appeals to the older
OF the family. Here they
gather to talk Of the past. Very little
planning for the future and only a
spare use of books and papers. In
fact' there is nothing to interest the
younger generation of today. The
old, implanted, RECONSTRUCTED house
called home has ceased to be attrac.
i've to the boy or girl who has at.
tended school and learned something
or modern living. In most cases his
thoughts turn Immediately to the city,
where his brothers have caught the
spirit OF modern life, live in better
houses and have some of the com.
iorts of modern life. Is it any wonder
ne leaves the farm for the city? And
IN proportion as these young Negroes
cave the farm and flock to the cities

ton.
General observations show that the
majority of the workers are careless
and Indifferent. The spirit of hone of
interest in things living and growing
seems to be dormant. A mere exis-
enc is all asked for or expected.
ihere is no display of inventive gen.
JUS, no saving and planning for the fu-
ture. We again repeat that there are
exceptions, but the above criticisms
are absolutely true of the majority of
our Negro farmers. And If it is true
OF those who own their farms, what
must be the condition of those who

telllgent owner whom he respects and
mas confidence in he does we'll, but in
most cases his condition and that of
ms large family is pitiable. A mere
child in mind, a man in body, he
works and works, and yet accom-.
pushes nothing. This condition can
be stopped to his advantage and to
the advantage of the landlord. Com
mon sense, business and humanity de-
mand a change.

ly the manner of his death and his re-

of the priests and rulers. AS this, the
morn Of the first day OF the week, ap-
preached the guard saw the vision of
the angel and in its presence became
as dead men. When later they had re.
covered they haftened into the city
and reported to the priests the fact OF
the coming OF the angel and that the
stone. pom which the seal rested, had
been removed. Bribed, they spread
abroad the tale that the disciples had
stolen his body. The ~falseness of
such a tale is evidenced by the fact
that the rankest inidel has not the
temerity to make such a claim today.
The later lives of these same disciples,

evidence Of the absurdity Of claiming

From the Consular and Trade Reports.
 The Widnes corporation of England. which has for many years held the proud position of purveyor of the cheapest gas in the world.'' has just still further fortified it's position in this regard by making another reduction in price. The Gas World of England reports that the council has adopted a recommendation of it's gas engineer and manager to reduce the price to all ordinary consumers with in the borough by cents per 1000 cubic feet, making the price to consumers be- low 100000 cubic feet per annun1 24 cents per 1000 cubic feet; to consumers of over 1000 900, 20 cents net; and to all users of gas for motive power purposes, Is cents net. At the meeting at which the reduc- ton was sanctioned it was stated that the reduction. which has been made pos sible by the improved carbonizing results from new installation of horizontal re- torts, will make Widnes gas from 20 to 27 per cent lower in price than that of the nearest competitor the Sheffield Gas company.

The state constitution made the office of county commissioner and the legislature had no power to vacate 1t. The dispute went to the supreme court, the county commits sioners were busted and the board of rev enue succeeded to their duties under the law, the court of last resort holding that the county board of commissioners was only a statutory creation. The county board of commissioners thus busted was composed of some of the most substantial original settlers of the county.
