BILL A RF: .Arp to the Farmer-1 He Would be Atlanta Ct Not long ago a one-horse farmer | from the back woods came to our town with two bales of cotton and sold it for 5 cents a pound. This was his entire crop, and he was complaining latterly to one of our merchants and said that the farmers would perish to death in another year if there wat-n't lome change for the better. A mis ehievous drummer, standing by, said: "Well, my friend, you must quit jraising cotton or else bay some mon keys to pick it out. Over in India and E*ypt they make the monkeys pick their colton, and that is what s the matter. A monk y will pick a thousand pounds a day and he feeds on the seeds. So it costs hardly any thing over there to raise cotton, and onr farmers in Missis>ippi and Tesas have sent over for a hundred thou sand monkeys, and they will be over here in time to pick the next crop j and the price will go lower still, and j if you don't get you a monkey or two ? yon had better quit growing cotton, j for you can't compete with monkeys." j The old man took it all in seriously j 'and said : "Well, what is a poor farm er to do if he hasn't got the money to buy the moukey ?" "Grow something else," said the drummer. "Grow corn and wheat and sorghum and potatoes. Plant apple and peach trees, raise chickens and eggs, and a yearlin calf or two to sell. Get np soon and s*ir around lively an? make'every member of your fam ily work. Woik at something, for ile yon don't you will perish out. Go back home and take a new start. Don't: sit down and grumble andblame some body else with*your poverty. Quit cotton until you can buy half a dozen monkeys." The man went back home and cir culated the monkey story, and for ten miles around the one-horse farmers have sworn off from rafsiog any more cotton. That's what they tell hie. They say that before the war the poor man couldn't compete with the rich man's niggers, and now since he has lost his niggers he is buyin' monkeys lo take their places, and the poor man I won't have any chance at all. Of course there is no truth in this story, but there is a good deal of philosophy. New methods, new plows and new machinery arc the monkeys, and if the poor farmer does hot work early and late he will keep poor. ,1 know some country women who make nore money on their chickens and eggs and butter than their husbands do on their cotton and wheat. Little ! things well nursed count up more then big ones. The thrifty farmer i always brings with him something to sell when he has to come to town. . Some fowls or eggs or potatoes or a j shote or some fruit in its season. There is a good home market for all j these little things. In fact, if we j leave out cotton everything the farm- j er grows brings about the same old ? prices of ten years ago, and everything j he has to buy except coffee is much j cheaper now than it was then. Every- i thing that is made of cotton is 50 ncr cent cheaper and everything made of iron or steel or tin is 100 per cent cheaper. Beef arid pork and chickens and turkeys and eggs and wood and potatoes and apples and peaches have not come down a nickle in ten years. Labor is a little cheaper, not much. We still pay the same for cooking and washing and work in the garden. If anybody has a reason for complaining of hard times it is the town people, who have everything to buy. The farmer who is not in debt and owns his farm is better off than he ever was Jini thc prudent renier can pay rent and make money farming But of course there is a large class of shiftless,.unthrifty people who will not succeed at anything, and they blame everybody for it but themselves. Cobe says that thc Lord had to make poor folks to keep rich folks in money, i and so Cobe is content in being poor, for it is the Lord's will. I know folks who have never planted a fruit tree and who will not even plant a garden. Poverty makes some folks shifty and others indifferent and despairing. There is an old negro woman comes to our house every Saturday and brings ns a gallon of big hominy-old-fash ioned lye hominy, and it is a luxury. We pay her 15 cents for it and she has seven other customers. One peek of corn that costs her 10 veuts makes four peckB of hominy, for which she gets $1.20, and that makes her a good living. I read in the last Home and Farm about a successful experiment in grow ing ginseng, and if I was a farmer I would try it. This was in Kentucky, where a man planted it in a well shaded forest of beech and dogwood and gum trees, and it grew both from She seed and the roots that he planted and gave him a good crop. Its market price is $-1 a pound. T know that it Could-bc grown in this mountainous legion, among the foothills. I knuw a good farmer who makes mooey grow S LETTER. He Must be Shifty if > [Prosperous. institution, ing turnips for their seeds, and he sells all his crop to Peter Henderson, of New York, and Peter sells it back to us at 500 per cent profit. Any smart, industrious woman could make I money right here by growing roses and hothouse plants. Our people send off lots of money for such things ? and some of them arc no accouotwhen they get. here. Nobody around here has ever raised any asparagus to sell, but they buy it in Atlanta at 25 cents a bunch and bring it home, or they buy it canned from thc grocer ai o."> cents. A man in Marietta grows it by thc acre for j the Atlanta market and makes big ; money. Why not grow it here ? ! Shifty is the right word-we must be j shifty if we would keep up with the i progress of the times. Wit and wis I dom are very noble qualities, but ne ! ccssity is the mother of invention and contrivance. We must get out of the ; old ruts and learn of our northern I brethren. New England girls sit around the fire every night and plait straw for hats and bonnets and bas kets and .'hair bottoms, and they have a good time talking about their neigh bors and neighborhood news. Why shouldn't our girls learn photography and have a gallery in every town? It is a beautiful art and peculiarly fitted for women-pretty young women who can talk their patrons into a pleasing expression and can pose the little children and arrange the young man's necktie so nicely. If I was a poor, smart, pretty girl and no man wanted me that I wanted, I would take some lessons in photography and open a shop. I thought that the girls were crowding the young men out of a good many, places, for they are smart and quick and don'",drink or smoke,'and I am amazed and indignant to read that 200 of them have been turned out of employment by a great railroad company in Chicago. I don't under stand that. I hope Mrs. Lowe will investigate it. BILL ART?. Captain Smyth Gflres Warning. I Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, of Pelzer, ? was in Charleston last week and talked j to a reporter for the News and Courier j of the national labor commission, of which he is a member. He said : "The southern people should inter est themselves in this commission. Its final recommendations will affect this part of the country vitally. They can work much harm or put it on a fair ground of competition. The northern peeple do not understand southern conditions, I find. Senator Kyle, chairman of the commission, was most thoroughly surprised when I explained that there were no tramps in the South, no dissatisfied classes, and that the people were working in splendid harmony. Another feature of the investigation, which I shall en deavor to force on the commission is thc Negro laboring clement. A ma jority of the members of the commis sion have never been South and do not understand the cheap competition the Negro offers to white workmen. They have no idea of the fact that he will lay brick cheaper build houses for much less, and that the colored man is now knocking at the doors of cotton mills asking for work at lower wages than white men could think of ? doing the same labor. Northern peo j plc do not understand why thc south ern operatives can work longer hours for less money than their New Eng land brothers. They must be brought j South, so that they can see the state of affairs for themselves. New Eng land is working very hard to strip the South of its advantages iu cotton man ufacturing, which is in reality thc cause of the commission's creation, although it is nominally a general in vestigating board. New England docs not like to sec southern mills selling more goods in China. Indi? and Africa than it is disposing of in the same territories.

In connection with the Sanitary In stitute a popular lecture was delivered by Dr. Alexander Hill, master of Downing College, and Vice Chanceler of Cambridge University, on "Unnat ural Death." He remarked that it was not the dangers of railway travel ing, nor the few murders that occurred which brougnt down the average longevity of human life from 100 years to 50 years. They must seek for more subtle murderers than that. Every year 000,000 babies were born in Eng laud aud Wales. If they took 1,000, 000 children, and saw what was likely to be the eud of them, they would tied that 30,UO() died a violeut death by accident, about the t<awe number would succumb to the mysierious dis eases which the> knew now to bc ab solutely preventable, because due to germs, (i uberculosis iu its many furun*;) auout 120,000 would die from absolutely preventable causes, such as small pox, measles and scarlet fever, only 45,000 would be allowed to live out their natural lives, and nearly one in tweuty might expect to die because the machiue was worn out. Oue quarter of all diseases which destroyed life were absolutely preventable. If the practice of hygiene were only on a level with its theory the average longevity would be raised at once from 50 to 05. Thc greater number of dis eases over which thc individual had control were due to mistakes in eating and drinking. He divided diseases into three classes, and said they would never succeed in preventing them un til they had thc co-operation of the public. Every citizen should have j the same exact knowledge of the causes and properties of preventable diseases that the medical officer him self had The infectious nature of j consumption was hardly realized twen- ? ty years ago. About one-third of the j cows in the country were tuberculous. ! and half the milk distributed the baccillus of tuberculosis. They could boil the milk and he was no more afraid of boiled bacillus than he was ? of a wcll-cookcd lion. Thc only nat- | ural form of death was thc gentle fall ing asleep when the body was tired.- ?

Smallridge, of Glenville, W. Va., a veteran of the Civil war, carried a bullet in his heart for thirty-seven years. His death was not due to the presence of the bullet, and in fact he never suffered any in convenience from it. Before his death he asked his physician, in the interest of science, to make an autopsy in or- j der to find the bullet. The physician j did so, and found it imbedded in the ! heart. - One of the most peculiar freaks ; that the wind played recently was on ! the Presbyterian Church at New Hart- ; ford. X. Y.

Where do you think it is? Theo dore Dreiser locates it in Chicago, and has this to say about it: Tho first pecul iarity of this little stream is that it is the emaller river doing the largest busi ness in tho world, or, in other words, Ihe busiest river in the world. In the next place, it has tho greatest depth for tho narrowost width of any known riv er. In the third place, it has tho largest number of bridges spanning it of any river of equal or greater length, barring the Mississippi-ora total of 02 bridges. All these are draw or swinging bridges an,d carry a traffic of tboir own over head almost, as important as that which passes below. Nc;fc, this river has little or no current to speak of, and flows up ward instead of down. It is thu only known river wiiose current has been turned round and made, as it were, to flow tho other way. Lastly, if is a sort of an orphan river, for, wherpas all rivers and harbors aro owned and cared for by tho United States govei'tmeut, the secretary of war, whoso province it is to care for tbeso tbiugs, will bavo nothing to do with it, and Chicago re pairs it only sufficient ?GT its now needs, but lays no claim to the right of way. In this strange predicament tho littlo Bt-eam flows wretchedly backward, loaded with the largest and most valua ble collection of vessels that over crowd ed au inland sea It is one tumultuous highway, far moro exciting than Broad way and somewhat less charming than tho Hudson. Tho city nses it as an emptying place for its sewers and the street cleaning department as a dump ing ground for its waste, and yet it is the most valnablo factor in the lifo of Chicago, and tho ono moro than all else ?hat bas made tho city what it is today No other river in the wido world pos sesses or pretends to tho appearanco of this peculiar stream. In its busiest hours it is a sight for gods and men. A mere creek, it struggles with the burden of an ocean. Tho great deep draft pro filers tear tho water into splattering fragments. Their huge stacks often hido the entire stream from view with great clouds of smoke. Tho ingoing and out going vessels quarrel for tho right of way with all tho vehemenco inherent in gongs and whistles. Tug pilots han dlo their craft with a skill that would put to shame the manners of tho heavy teamsters in a crowded New York lane. The longest branch of the river today is moro thnn ten miles in length, and tho total length of all branches is 16. At its mooth.it is no moro than 200 feet wide, and tue fact that it is tho samo width a mile or two np stream is duo to the fact thai it was made so hy excava tion and dredging. At on? time (iSG?> it was 200 feet wido at Lake street, 175 feet wide at Randolph, a block further on; 105 feet at Washington, 175 feet nt Madison-all these but single blocks apart-and so on until it bcearuo so small as to be unnavigable by boats drawing ten feet of water. In that year, however, it was dredged and made a uniform width cf 200 feet in tho south branch, and it is kept that width by tho walls of tho immense buildings which have now encroached to tho vory water's edgo, and which in most cases form tho only banks visible. It is interesting to note tho peculiar ities of this poor littlo stream. Nowhere along its shores within the great city limits is there a foot of unoccupied ground where a tree may find root. No branch or blade of greon graces its shores. No bountiful springs riso from point to point and feed it. Its tribu taries aro dark, stone archer] sowers which empty their subterranean black ness into it in continuous stream. Its banks aro for tho most part sheer walls of red brick. Whero an open space oc curs railroad tracks skirt tho water's edge so closely as io stir a fear for tho eafoty of tho cars which lino them. Lumber yards make up other portions, and groups of belching smokestacks, sooty black, rise in forestliko numbers at regular intervals. No singlo space but has some wharf or freight shed, factory or warehouse filling up the last available inch, stockyards, lumber yards, railroad yards, stoneyards, coal yards-theso interspersed with docks, elevators, manufactories and breweries make its banks interesting, if not beau tiful.-Metropolitan.
