The editor Of The Courier regrets
inability to attend the meeting at
Cheohee church. While we had in
formation that the meeting was to
be held, still we had no direct In
vitation as for tho meetings we have
attended. But that matters not. If
Mr.. Werner gave the people at Chico
hee a speech similar to the one he
delivered at Pleasant Hill, he really
left nothing for others to say. When
~ takes in, thinks Of and acts on
that talk Of T.. b. Verner:s, he has
food for thought and a basis for
right living for a long time to come.
We hope there will be other meet
ings. We hope we may be able to
attend others.

What Mr.. Werner said to the
colored people Of Westminster ought
to help us along all lines. He said
we as Il race had some good traits

no mistake and conditions would be
better, and the MAJ that does the
right thing can always get along in
this country. He gave it to us

After hearing the different farm
ers praise their own breeds of cattle,
the observer is driven to the conclu-
sion that all have some advantages
and some disadvantages, and that it
does not make a great deal of differ
ence, provided man selects a stand
ard breed and sticks to it. And it is
far better still if all the farmers of a
locality can agree on one standard
type adapted to that locality, and stick
to it and get reputation for produc-
