Thc ceuter of population in this country ha moved westward only fourteen miles in thc last ten years. The. State of last Thursday was one .f tho most valuable and interesting pap: rs ever issuid in Columbia. It contained sixteen pajes, giving a glow ing account of secession from its in fancy, und should be preserved by every oue of its subscribers for it historical value. A Baltimore preacher who docs not believe in deathbed repentance says that preachers should not bc allowed te attend people who are ill. "The sick bed ie not thep lace of thc tiaua formation of the lives of individuals," he says, and maybe this is true, but auy place where mortals are in trouble ought to be a good place for a minister of the gospel. . - m . mm - - Tho Staudard Oil Company has beca warning patrons of an independent concern that they will be blacklisted, and when the smaller concern is crush ed, will not bc allowed to buy oil from tho monopoly. This is a foreshad owing ,f the trust methods and hints at what may bo expected in manj Other liues of trade rapidly cowing under tho influcuoo of combinations. Pessimism makes the burdens of life rcuoh harder lo bear. If wo could look on the bright Bide of everything and not croea the bridges until <*e get to them, how much lighter our bur dens and how trivial would man; difficulties become Often imagina ry wrongs and burdens are ten fo'd harder to bear than real ones. Much .f the sorrow and hoartaohea of this life grow out of imaginary wrongs and slights. When we langh the world laughs with UH. Take up your bur dens of life with laughing hearts and smiling lips, and the world will oheer you on to success. Sit down and weep and she world will let yousorrow your self into the grava. We have reoeived a pamphlet enti tled "Experiments with Fertilizers," ? whioh batt boon issued by the Experi mental farm of the North Carolina State Horticultural Sooioiy for gratu itous distribution among farmers. Tho object of this publication is to instruct farmers how they oan carry out practi cal field tests on a simple scalo, to show which combinations of plant food aro needed. At the North Caro lina Experiment farm they havo the moat completo line of experimental work on fruits and vegetables inaugu rated in thia country, and the little book indicated is quite in keeping with the work of the farm. It can be had free of charge, by addressing the Su perintendent of Experiment Farm, Southern Pines, N. C. There is reason to believe that the movement of population from the country to the city is subsiding and thai farming ia becoming more popu lar. It ought to. Farming properly followed ia as sure and good a DUB - neBS aa any other. It may be a slow process of acquiring a competence, but it ia tho mest certain and the most independent ono. With industry and economy a comfortable living can be made by cultivating the soil, with less labor aud risk than by any other hon est method known. The past 50 years have done fully aa much for the de velopment of agriculture as they have for any other soienoe or profession. The knowledge obtained has but open ed up newer aud larger fields of re search, and nature is having a harder limo than she ever had before to keep her secrets hidden from man. ? m mm* - AH year afier year rolls by and the Confederate Veterans gather in theil annual reuuious and form into thc parade th ; line of march is growing shorter and shorter, thoir footsteps, as they tramp along the avenues, aro not so firm aud confident as they were. The empty sleeves aro there, and the wooden stump, but they aro not eo frequent no /. Tho breeze that lifts the bair about their temples finds that the looks are thinner than they were, and tho heada that aro bared before the reviewing stand aro whiter than a year ago. And we feel and kuow that the Veteran is meeting and battling with a silent and atubboro fop, and that Time must conquer soon, and in that victory there will be no quanex chown, and that early io this new cen tury a funeral cortege will go out, bearing the body cf tbe last surviver of the civil war, and over his grave nc comrade's voieo ca cay the requiem, no comr de fire the 1 .st salute. But let . o n *pe that this will be a happy passing from tho tasks, the trials ard perplexities of lifo, and that in a bi t<er wend the Veterana may meet re* a a eternal and cclt-braiea ir - t rem', ion, where they, .together with all V <. t comrades who fell in battlo and tl oso who have since passed ''over the river," may pass in grand review be fore the no'ile leaders who have gone before, saluting Lee, Jackson, Davis and others. The proud sons and daughters of these Veterans will ever cherish their memory and hand down to coming generations a record of their forefathers that they can ever point to with pride.

Reunion in Louisville in 1902. The people of Louisville will make a deter.ai ned effort to ha\e tho Twelfth Reunion of tho United Confederate Veterans meet there in 1003. It is the only instance on record of a city thus seeking tho privilego of entertaining th mc:: who woro tho gray the uecuud time. No one can question tho earnest und sincere hospitality of the people of Kentucky in this movement, lt comes from a feeling of genuine admiration for the Confederate soldiers, and is the exhibition of the highest appreciation of tho claim of the Southern armies to a chief place among the world's heroes. Tho weather during the Tenth Re union at Louisville in 1000 was most j execrable. It was unprecedented, and the citizens of Louisville claim that they did not have an opportunity, by reason of the weather, to show their real love and hospitality in tho mat ter of tho entertainment of these he roes. Eveiy class of people have joined in this invitation. Tho money to provide for this entertainm*' it is already as sured, and if the veterans do come, Louisville will mako such provision for them as will gladden their heurts and leave memories and recollections of kindness and generosity which will never die.-Thc Lost Cause. --a . - - Fine feathers may not make fine birds, but they make soft pillows. - Fame won by doing good is de plorably rare, but it is eminently Christ liko. - Men are just as good as their daily lives indioato them to bo and no better. - It is proposed to illuminate the Yosemite Falls, 2,000 feet io height, by use of twenty aro Hg its in connec tion with means for producing oolor effects.
