Jsoan's Good Roads.

Japan is peculiarly well Oh In respect
Of good highways. The Tokaido, which
runs from Iiioto to Tokyo. Is over 3Uu
miles In length. and. as the writer can

is also the Nakasendo. which Is even

TOOMBS AND THE PHILANTHRO.
PIST.

After Toombs' famous Boston speech
philanthropist came up to him as he
stood in the center of group at his
hotel and said:
Sir, I have come to ask you a
question, and you impress me as q
man who will tell the truth, even if il
bears against him.
Il will try said Mr.. Toombs with
great Weakness.
Il am told, sir" said the man, thai
down in Georgia you actually work
poor negroes to the pillow instead of
mules or horses. Is that true, sir?"
Mr. Toombs looked like man hit
hard, but asked:
DO you know the cost Of negro
man, sir?'
"Oh, yes was the reply From
$1,000 up to $1,000 for human flesh, sir.
Mans horrid trade in mani"
Said Mr.. Toombs will $500 do for
an average?"
Eyes, sir said the man; 81 think
we may say that"
do you know the cost of a common
mule or horse?" said Mr.. Toombs
Eyes, sir! the average unimproved
stock may be 800. You neglect your
brutes sir"
Granted" said MIR. Toombs. Now
how many negroes do you think it
takes to pull a two-horse pillow in clay
soil like ours?"
Il have not thought of that, sir; but
I ahem-we will say ten"
Then" said Mr.. Toombs, in that
temper pathetic tone which would
have made him perfect as a revivalist
exhOrter, then we have mule team at
| 5000, a negro team that cost $4,000:
and what do you think of the economy
of it YOURSELF"
The talk ended and only one man
failed to smile.

THE NEGLECTED GIRLS.

From a girl who signs here letter
Discouraged" comes this plant:
'Why is it so hard nowadays for
the quiet girl to get a husband? l..
seems as though her loud, giddy sister
is the most popular girl, while her
quiet, reserved sister will have to ST.
in corner. And still men say that
when they come to picking a wife they
pick out the quiet one. 1t doesn't
seem that way to me-"
Alas, there isn't anything new about
it. It's an old story AS W. S. Gilbert
of Gilbert and Sullivan opera fame,
wrote in his Songs Of a Savoyard":
ITO garden full of posies
Cometh one to gather flowers,
And he wandered through its bowers
Toying with the wanton roses,
Who, uprising from their beds,
Hold on high their shameless heads
/ With their pretty lips a-pouting,
Never doubling -never doubling
That for Cytherean poises
He would gather aught but roses!
I'm a nest of weeds and nettles,
Lay violet, half hidden,
Hoping that his glance unbidden
Yet might fall upon her petals,
Though she lived alone apart
Hope lay nesting at her heart,
But alas! the cruel awakening
Set her little heart a-breaking.
For he gathered for his posies
Only roses-only roses!"
But perhaps it won't always remain
so. When feminism has full sway, the
girls will do their share of the choos-
ing.
Here, however. comes a dreadful
fear
When the girl proposes, will they
pick the quiet" men, or the loud gid

THE FARMERS INTERESTS.

Of more than passing interest is the
call by the Americas and Sumter
County Chamber of Commerce for Z
mass meeting of all the farmers Of
Sumter county, in Americas, Satur
day morning, September 4th, at 1875
o'clock.
Several weeks ago this paper men
toned editorially the magnificent yielc
of tobacco by a Sumter county farmer
living near Americas, and how he
prcfited in a financial way-far abov
the amount that the same time in la
Dor, cost and other things in produc'
ing the same yield of cotton.
The farmers of the South must gel
away from cotton. No alternative is
left them.
1t has already been painfully de-
monstrated what the effect of our sec
ton has been because of a superabun
dant yield of cotton. The market wa:
shattered; the lowest of prices pre-
vailed; the farmers were caught in
the maelstrom of a financial strin-
gency.
The farmer has another recourse
and to this lucrative crop must he
look for salvation. If tobacco raising
was an experiment, the problem
would be all together different. There
would be reason for hesitation and in
difference.
The southern farmer has reached a
crisis in his life He is confronted
with more than ordinary problems
Even the ravages of dreaded insect
steadily approach Georgia's borders
with reports being printed that the
boil weevil has actually invaded gu,
state.
1t might be thought that Kipling in
his eff" was referring to the predica-
ment of the southern farmer when he
wrote;
If you can dream and not make dreams
your master;
If you can think, and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph anl
Disaster
And treat those two imposters JUS
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you'v'
spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a tral
for fools
Or watch the things you give your lif,
to broken,
And stoop and build them up will
WORKOUT tools,
If you can make one heap of all you
winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch an,
toss,
And lose, and start again at your be
ginnings,
And never breathe a word abou
your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerv
and sinew
To serve your turn long after the
| are gone,
, And so hold on when there's nothin
| in you,
Except the Will, which says to then
Hold on!"
But another way has been opened.
Another chance is yours.
It's seizure means your success, an
your failure to hearken when the ca
has been made, will mean further dis
tress.
A warning sometimes suffices, bl
an unanswered signal means distress
