Tbe article has been veimgeaerally copied and approved by ^ress at the South. Indeed, the plans submitted :b*ve met with such geoeral favor $nd the demands for some such change seem so imperative, that I feel inclined to discuss the ^subject a little more at length. I call attention to the following ends to'"be met : t. Intelligent, cultured farmers are not willing to isol?t*, themselves in the seciusion of the counjry, aod such farm ers will abandon ?ieir farms before they will consent to rear their families in lo calities- .without social, educational and religious advantages. If this be true! agriculture at the South, will be finally abandoned to such, farmers as are com pelled, from necessity and not induced by choice, to remain on the farm, 2. The peculiar conditions of our so . ciety demand some security and protec tion from the lawless and violent not found in sparsely settled rural districts: 3 Our farms at the South are entire ly too large to induce intensive farming, and this condition keeps our system un der expensive, wasteful and ruinous methods. I know of no better plan to get our farmers down to intensive meth ods than under the plan proposed in my suggestions about farm villages. These are the main points to be met, and they are, in my judgment, imperative. It is quite evident that educated young men are abandoning the farms, aod tfc?3 tendency will cod tin ue to in crease as the conditions grow gradually worse. A greater necessity for some such change as that suggested will be found in the absence of protection for farmer's families as they now live. No man who properly cares for the weaker people of his home is content to leave them without protection, exposed to the peculiar dangers that surround them under our present faroi condi tions. These troubles can be met and the further advantages of intensive farming can be secured by gathering the farmers into localities easily accessible to their farms, and at the same time, furnishing them sueh social, educational and relig ious advantages, under proper protec tion, as are absolutely necessary for the advancement of the people and the pros perity of the section. Farm villages are not an experiment. au the farming in Europe is done by people who live io communities contig uous to their farms. The scheme is far beyond an experiment, and it is settled by years of approved success as the best solution of agricultural difficulties. The main question after having ac cepted the idea as practical is bow is the matter to be put into shape* This question I difcussed in a former article, but to be a little more specific, I would advise the project as a business enter prise. A company cf citizens unite and sub scribe to a capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars to build and equip a -cotton factory. After constructing the -building aod setting up proper machin ery, the company will erect forty or fif ty nice, attractive cottages as homes for the operatives. This makes a manu facturing village run by a corporation. Now apply the same methods, pur chase 5,000 acres of land and suitably lay it off into one hundred acre lots, .all touching upon same central point at which the homes of the farmers will be built. Employees with their families can occupy the homes and the corpora tion, if you please, can run the farms as the corporation runs the factories, making the tenants or employees partic ipants in the results with the prospect -of eventual purchase. If some such plan should be adopted in the Southern States and the farms ran on shares by the companies estab lishing them, or sold outright to the colonies settling upon them, there is hope of building up our rural districts. If, on the other hand, we leave these interests to take care of themselves, it is only a question of limited time, in my candid judgment, before the rural .districts at the South will be abandoned to a thriftless, indolent population who have but littre care for their own devel opment or the good of the Stare. If we prosper we must make many radical changes in our plans.?W. J Northern in S->uthen Cultivator. A Bicyclist's Long Ride.g A bicyclist who is attempting a ride across the continent has come to the conclusion that it is very hard work and does not pay. He made the dis tance between Los Angeles and Albu querque, N. M., in twenty-four days, suffered a great deal from hunger, thirst and exposure, and met with ad ventures that were not always desirable. For instance the Navajo Indians exhib ited a rud* and annoying curiosity con cerning the reason for she existence of his machine and their ability to ride it themselves. Popping up ont of the sand bills, they chased him for mile?, and if they overtook him, insisted on having a mount, which under the cir cumstances it was hard to refuse. On one occasion he broke his canteen, and, racked with thirst, dared to stop an ex prees train and ask for a driuk. He reports that the engineer shewed a good deal of indignation, but relieved h\> sufferings. When the bicyclist arrived at Albuquerque, many of the spokes of bis maciiine were broken and twisted, and he himself presented a sorry spec tacle. ??-um The "New Boy." riA new boy came into our rfn* 'S today," said a wholesale merchant to his wife at the supper table " Je w ? hired by the firm at the request of to* senior member, who thought thn b>3 gave promise of good thing*. I>u? j ' feel sure that boy will he out of the : oince in less than a week *' "What makes you think so ?" "Because the Sr>t thing he wanted t know was just exactly how much hr was expected to do." "Perhaps you will change your mind about him " "Perhaps I shall," repiied the mer chant, "but I thiuk not " Three days later the business man sa:d to his wife : "About that b">y you remember I spoke of two or three days ago. Well, he is the best boy that ever entered the efoie " "How did you find that out?*' "In the easiest way in the world. T^t fitst morning after the boy beg m work he performed very faithfully and systematically the exact duties assigned, which he had beeu so careful to have explained to him. When he had fin ished he came to me and said : 'Mr. M-, I have fiuished all that work. Now what can I do ?* "I was surprised, but I gave him a little job of work^anA forgot all aboat him until he came into my room with the question, ?What next?' That set tled it for me. He was the first boy that ever entered our office who was willing and voluntered to do more than was assigned him. I predict a success ful career for that boy as a business man." Business men, heads of firms, know capacity when they see it, and they make a note of it. Willingness to do more than the assigned task is one of the chief stepping stones to commercial success ?Youth's Campanion. How One Physician Treats Burns. The doctor hears a great outory as he oears a boarding house and some one calls: "Run for the doctor, quick but he is at hand, and goes within. A child had been playiog near the stove while the breakfast was in preparation, and succeeded in depositing on its abdo men part of the contents of a dish of hot gravy. The result is a blister as large as a man's hand, extending from umbilicus to epigastrium; child is two years old Its writhings are very similar to con vulsions, irs screams arousing every one in the nouse. The doctor, cool and collected in tbatbabel of confusion, takes from the shelf an unbroken package of soda, pours half of its contents into a tin was h dish, adds enough water to this to make a thick paste, and covers the burn with tbe mixture making the application half an inoh thick. As soon as this is applied the child stops crying and is free from pain. Leaving orders to keep (be child quiet all day, and not to allow the soda to become dry for eight hours, he'quietly leaves the room.?Or. C. S. Cope. The republican party in the State is in favor of the Tillman administration. "Occasional," who is a straightout, con sistent white republican, makes a strong showing for Tillman in this issue. At tbe republican convention of the sixth congressional district in Florence, ex State Chairman, E M. Brayton, made a 6trong speech in favor of Tiliman because his administration was a "God send to the negroes" He looked for ward to the day "when the Tillman faction and reform republicans in South Carolina would join hands and control the State.'7 Edmund S Deas, a colored leader, said he thanked God for demo cratic dissension. He said "he could not endorse all Braytou said about Gov ernor, but he gave bim credit for caus ing tbe split in the democratic party." So it seems that the republicans all over the Slate favor Tillman, and Brayton and Deas have the manhood to state the reasons they have for support ing him. Deserving Praise.

There are some droll Irishmen in Congressman O'Neill's district, accord ing to the.stories he relates. An amus ing one was told by the congressman at the capitol not long since, says the Washington Post. An old fellow who had scraped together twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars, wanted Lawyer O'Neill to draw up his will. When the document was apparently finished the lawyer asked if there was anything else he wanted put down. "Oh, yes," said the Irishman "Fifty dollars to be spent on the boys when I am taken to the cemetery on the day of my funeral." Cavalry Cemetery, in which all the Catholics of St. Louis are buried, is several miles beyond the outskirts of the city, and there are numerous road houses at which "the boys" are in the habit of stopping for drinks on their way back from a funeral. Mr. O'Neill said to bis client : "I presume you want the fifty dollars spent on the way back from Cavalry." "Bejabers, no !" exclaimed the cli ent. "Spiudit going out. I'll be wid 'em, then." Generally the chap who talks loud est about being bossed, is the one who has some one's collar tightest about his neck.
