Editors: In writing up the programme for the closing exercises of my school the name of - Miss Susie Arnette, as valedictorian, -was left out. The fault was mine in not giving it in the programme furnished to the editor. In the hurry to get it ready for hinr before leaving I inadvertently overlooked it. I regret, it very much, and beg Miss Susie, who is one of my best and most advanced pupils, to pardon me. < Her rendition of the valedictory was : done in a manner highly to her in < every respect, aud particularly so., : since Miss Susie has had to devote a 1 good portion of her time during the session to her afflicted grandmother, 3 Mrs. "Wesley Mayfield. I hope Miss < Susie and my esteemed friends, her parents, will deem this a sufficient 1 apology for the oversight.

Let ine say iu the beginning ihat modesty, and not shame, 'deterred me from signing my own name to the article; and in assuming a now <le plume, a spirit of mischief suggested the word "aristocrat." Pride would prevent me from "saying to the world ! I was an aristocratpoverty would j not. Mr. Milling's mind, when it tells) him T am not a farmer, is as much in ! error as when it evolves some of its queer political conclusions, or when it quotes Pope's poetry and attributes it to Shakspeare. This is Shakspeare: ' "Kerne* uer ^larai, me iues ui .u?au remember: fr ? ^ * vf* Shall we now Contaminate our finders with base bribes, And sdl the mighty space of our large honors Eor so much trash as mav be grasped thus? I had rather be a dog and bay the moon, Than such a Roman!" I did not intend to imply, lar jess to assert, any degeneracy in Mr. Milling's case. I believe him entitled to rank in the "Upper Ten," and I am glad he has the manliness to assume it. That he is not an Oligarch is not due to any faiinre of effort on his part, perhaps he will become one on the ! next trial. Answer 2\o. 1 of Mr. Milling's is, ; with the exception of the clause re ferring to the appropriation of money by the United States Government for . certaiu purposes, entirely erroneous. The oligarchy refunded the United States gift of $i90,000 which the Radicals had stolen, and established by . statute in 1879 the annex along with the College, which institution has never been since '7G a purely literary one l'or the benefit of a certain class. In Answer No. 2 he again confounds i the words agriculturists and TillmanMtes: as the smallest majority the j fanners have ever had in the Legislature was eleven, it must be clear, even i jo the mind of Mr. Milling", that the [ trill of the agricultural class has found I . nrce expression. Mr. Milling ought to know that the J 1 Y8 hole question of the Agricultural j ' College is opposed by numbers of good j ; and true farmers and a matter of in- ; difference to hundreds of others. Itj has merely served as a battle-cry fur ; Tillman aud his office-seekers.

J LEATHER SHOES. v :M :f| ""- iSs ^ I>HAT shoddy, worthless shoes are last . supplanting solid leather shoes is beoming a noted fact, in the shoe business. n our section of the country. It is well ;nown to us taat otner sections aemana. etter slioes than our Southland. Why is his ? Again we ask, why is it our people ? nil time and again accept these shoddy, . ^ worthless shoes, filled with paper, wood md leather board instead of demanding ill leather shoes? Is it because of an dea of economy ? We think it cannot be >asedupon that idea. Who, knowingly, vould buy ground pepper with a mixture >f a trashy, worthless substance with ansconomical idea? Who would buvmusard mixed with cotton seed meal, that vould uot raise a blister, because at a low . _ igure? Who would buy candy with a nixture cf glucose because of its cheapless ? Who would buy flour with a mixure of kaoline because at a less price? 17?*L cnrv?A wIia Tr*tA*rnn/r_ * .'i rf IWI l?UO oauic iuuvum^* nuV) anu n --J y, would buy a shoddy shoe with the idea ?f cheapness? The adage, "The best is / he cheapest," especially applies to shoes. . > rVe do not mean best here to include the ughest price fine shoes, but we mean an lonest, well-made, all-leather shoe at an ddition of only fifteen or twenty cents )er pair, against a shoe of same appear-* <} mce, bat made to deceive. We conclude ,he greater part of the responsibility must est on the retailer in not informing his :ustomers how his shoes are made. Many Manufacturers are making a specialty of noducing a line of shoddy, worthless ;oods especially for this trade, and so dex;rously is the leather and foreign substances manipulated the presence of the shoddy cannot be known except to the Manipulator or builder of the shoes. As )iiyers, we require each manufacturer to say through their agent bow eacn Kind 01 >hoes is made, we are then in possession of iacts to convey to our customers. "M The lack of this information, as to the component parts of shoes, is no doubt the reason why so many customers become the possessors of shoes which otherwise they ? sould not buy at any price. There is no . -r^g line Of merchandise which furnishes more * ibundant opportunities for deception than . ioes the shoe trade. The complexity of Ihe business, and the variety in the amount y. ind kind of material which go to make up fl che product, afford opportunities lor adul* teration by the use of shoddy materials in a manner that the eve Of the CUS fcomer, and in many instances the eye of the merchant, is captured, by the looks or a shoe rather than the worth of its mate- ' ^ rial parts. A shoddy shoe filled with : paste-board, leather-board and wooctcan ^ be made so alike an honest, solid, allleather shoe that the nnpracticed eye can- " tiot discover the difference. Where then v - ^ is the safeguard for the consumer? Buy Four shoes from dealers of known repute- ;>J tion of handling nothing but good,.wellmade shoes. To know his shoes and sell V * - : them for what they are is the duty of the 'T" dealer. -Not to expect mountains for mole -lyhills is the duty of the buyer.
