This farmer is practically a scientific
man. The point applies to
all books on machinery. There
are books whioh discuss machinery.
It means that here is valu

giu with what we have of Socra
tea, then Plato, and take what we
kave from Aristotle and Thucydidcfl
and Herodotus and then
take the poets. They give us
- the sum and substance of the
knowledge which had been accumulated
by men in their time.

than you can by the old mode, because
he has given us the sum and
cubstauce of the accumulated experience
of the greatest men up
to his time. Passing to the Roman
side?Tacitus especially,

fiud that they give you the accumulated
experience of the old
Komane, Cicero gives you the
aimple thinking of the Romans iu
his day and time. The Romans
did not have any ideas at all but

This applies to our own literature.
Why it Shakespeare so
valuable? Because he has learned
the whole scale of human experience,
and the marvel will always
be how he did it. , He absorbed
ideas ; if there Iwan nn?
there, he absorbed it. In his pro*
(tactions he selected just such
olements from the experiences of
men are realized at some time or
other by more or less of the human
race. A book then has no
walue except in so far as it is the
real exponent of life, and we
ought to look at it from that
(standpoint. Sometimes we say
we are very busy with our work,
and that may be so, but as long
?ls a man can do that, he will do
it. You will excuse me for referring

I read David Crockett. There
are some things in the book that
are objectionable. He believed
in taking his drams, but with
that and ons or two other exceptions
he was a great man. You
remember he perished at the
Alamo. Only two that were in
the fort were saved. They were
Mrs. Dickinson and a negro serwant.
This book tola of Crockett's
skirmish with buffaloes and
f his deer hunts. All of this is fine
v educational material for boys.
Now that is my conception of
mhat a book is; so that you may
take one hundred of the best
Ixioks and they will put you in
possession of the experience of
the race so that the individual is
enlarged and enriched by the ex
perience of the race.

Advice to the Negro
By One of His Own Race?
Dr. Warner's Lecture in
the Colored Graded School.
Reported lor The News.
The lecture delivered by Dr.
A. J. Warner, of Charlotte, Fri
day night in the colored school
building was very practical and
met the approval of the large and
appreciative audience that heard
it.
He said in part: As a race we
have much to be proud of and
much to hope for. We should
seek the friendshiD of all nt r?nr
i - ? - V/M*
neighbors and try to make the
best of life. We have always had
friends as well as enemies. We
must not allow the vicious vituperations
of Mr. Dixon and others
of his type to excite us. It is
true that his sayings together
with his lamous exhibition may
somewhat intensity the already
strained relation between the
races, for a short time. I don't
think we have anything to fear.
I learn that Mr. Dixon's exhibition
has not been well received
by many of the good white people
of the South. We should look
elsewhere for enemies.
The "carpet-bagger" taught us
that our only friends were in the
North and we had little enough
sense to believe him. Had we
been taught then to make friends
with our tormer masters it would
have been much better for us.
We have now learned that ignorance
is never to rule intelligence,
nor poverty to rule wealth.
Many would-be leaders ot our
own race have gone North and
paiuted the condition of the race
in the south to be much worse
than what it really is. They are
enemies. Their object is to get
money.
Thousands of our people go
I North and West annually. They
are filling up many of the large
ciues. They claim to be seeking
better conditions. Many of them
are ignorant uud shiftless. They
make a bad impression and hurt
us all. They are our enemies.
The best type of the race is to
be found here in the south, buyiug
land and building homes.
There is great competition in
labor now and we must show ourselves
worthy of the position we
hold as laborers, by doing our
work intelligently. If we neg
lect our work for pleasure and
continue to show too little regard
1 for a contract, our places will be
filled by Poles, Sweeds and Scan*
dinavians. We must not allow
such a condition ever to obtain.
Dr. Warner gave some good
and wholesome advice, which it
heeded will result in much good.
He declared that the young peopie
of the race are doing well and
that they noed more encouragement
and less abuse.

ought to apnreciate it and we
ought to use it and we ought to
make it richer and we ought to
make it better than it wan when
we received it, and we can do
that at leant by helping to circulate
that which we have received
from the winent men of the
pant.

Notice.
To the overseers of the Publto s
Loads of Lancaster County.
1 a (tain ask you all to warn out
our bands and work each of your
ections of the public mads, as many
ays as the law renuire* ?>r until
et yeur road in goou condition. I
rant to find that each section of road
[i the county is worked good between
his and the last day of Movembefc.
is you all know you can't do muon
ood working the clay roads during
he winter months.
The grand jury held a meeting oh
he first Monday in September last
nd requested me to give notice to all
f the overseers to put four days'
Fork on each sectiou of road by the
rst Monday in Oct. and for each of
ou to make a report to me that day
ind I did so, but many of you failed
o work or to make any report. So 1
indly ask you all to read the report
f the grand jury at the last term of
he court. You will see by that report
hat they want to have the roads
Forked better than they have ever
ieen in the past, or have the law enorced
against any one who fails to
lischarge his duty. Let every one
lo his duty, and the law will not be
nforced against any one. but otherwise,
they say it must he done,
ake due notice therefore and govern
ourself accordingly.
