"Necessity is the mother of invention."
This is a very true saying and
an impressive reality with the farmers
of the south just now. We
have gotten again to where we must
invent some other or additional ?
means of dependence other than
cotton. Out of this necessity wili a- ga
rise many a real farmer who hereto- Hq
fore has been a mere pretense. With on
the natyral advantages that surround di;
us we can find no fault. Our lands dri
will yield any of the more importaut wa
products or necessities of the world, hi:
We occupy a fundamental position so
as regards cotton and at least an in- W
dependent position regarding other he
leading products. This being true st;
it is unbecoming in us to complain us
about prices being set by others. It pe
is not right for us to leave the price of
making entirely to the manufacturer lac
and consumer, but how can we help ic.
it if we do not protect ourselves by
taking advantage of our natural fa- 1J
cilities for producing other crops? JQ

ranee and inability as much in the
way we handle our labor as in any
other way. A large percentage of
our lands are worked on the share
system and instead of appropriating
such labor in building up as well as
making, we are traveling on in the GI
same old ruts of "cotton and com."
Why not require each hand to sow
down so much small grain to every
plow allowing him a share in this
crop in proportion to the work he
does? Is there anything imprac- pr<
ticable or detrimental 10 the interest ta^
of any one in this scheme?
wr
Furthermore, we should have
wr
mere definite understandings with Aj
our labor. Contracts setting forth ne
the requirements of each should be ofl
signed by both and a copy in each to
man'sjpossession. There can be no tin
sn
misunderstandings arising out of this
sul
method nor will an honest man raise
any objection. This scheme of "v
p ocedure and diversification can be ga
successfully carried on by the poor- it?
ejt farmer in the South and he can lat
better afford than not do it. r

"Back to the '.and" is a cry much ne^
heard these days, and it is well to f01
act upon it that the congested enn- Pa

Mark Twain Caught Out.
A poet, n pair of trousers across his
knee, eat It) his nttlc trying to thread
? u needle.
"The proper way." he said, "Is to
hold the thread still mid push the needle
toward it or to hold the needle still
and push the thread toward It. Mark
| Twain says both ways are right. Then
I he says they nre both wrong."
R | Taking down "The Prince and the
E Pauper/' the poet read:
"He did as uien have always done
aud probably always will do to the
fl end of time?hold the needle still and
y ' tried to thrust the thread through the
eye, which is the opposite of a woman's
way."
Then the poet, taklug down "Huckleberry
Finn," read:
" 'Bless you, child, when you set
C out to thread a needle don't hold the
thread still and fetch tho needle up to
Q it Hold the needle still nud poke tho
thread at It. That's tho way a wo"T
man most always does, but a man always
does t'other way.' "
^ Who Would Want to Be a Lama?
The lama pilgrims among the Tibetan
Hindoos, as they pursue their mounK
tain pilgrimages, literally measure ofT
tho distance with their bodies. The
distinguished traveler Svcn Hod in,
writing of his discoveries in Tibet in
Harper's Magazine, describes them as
lying down full length on the ground,
9 making a mark on the road, rising and
stepping forward to tho mark, once
more to fall full length. One such
walking Journey as this, says Dr.
ueuui, etjuius imny oruiunry ones.
AmouR the lamas also arc to bo found
