Passed hyjflenj. ^ooge^i^ delivered an adSessiofbefore the Congress of Mothors .Ahington last week, which every ' an should read. We give the enire speech below: N ( In our modorn Industrial civilization jjiere are many and grave dangers to co&Lerbalanoe the splendors and the trlumplis It Is not a good thing to see cities grow at a disproportionate speed relatively to the country; for the small land ownors, the men who own their little homes, and therefore to a very large extent the men who till farms, the man of the soil, having hitherto made the foundation of lasting national life In every State; and, If the foundation becomes either too weak or too narrow, the superstructure, no matter how attractive, Is In eminent danger of falling. Hut far more Important than the question of the oooupatiou of cur citizens is the question of how their family life is conducted. No matter what that occupation may be, as long as there is a real home and as long as those who make up that home do their duty to one another, to their neigh tjors and to the State, It Is of minor const quence whether the man's trade Is plied In the country or in the city, whether It calls for the work of the hands or for the work of the head. VALUE OF TIIK FAMILY DOME. Hut the nation Is hi a bad way if there Is no real home, if the family Is not of the right kind; If the man is not a good husband and father, if lie is brutally or cowardly or st ilish, if the woman has lost tier sense of duty, if she is sunk in vapid self Indulgence or has let her nature be twisted so thai she Drefers a nui.nHr?.tttn?iiort luallty to that great and beautiful development of character which comes only to those whose lives know the fullness of duty done, of effoit made and self-sacriiice undergone. In the last analysis the welfare of the Slate depends absolutely upon whether or not the averaKe family, the average man and woman and their children, represent the kind of citizenship tit for the foundation of a great nation; and if ?we fail to appreciate this we fail to apprc elate the rem morality upon which all health civlligation is based. No piled up wealth, no splendor of material growth, no brilliance of artistic development, will permanently avail any people unless its home life is healthy, unless the average man possesses honesty, courage, common sense, and decency, unless he works hard and is willlug at need to tight hard; and unless the average woman Is a good wife, a good mother, able and willing to perform the tirst and greatest duty of womanhood, able and ...llli ~ i ' wining iu uear, fina 10 Dring up as they should be brought up, healthy child _ reu, sound In^body, mind, and charivcter%^ppd?numcr6us enough so that the nation shall Increase and not decrease. MAN TUB HHKAUWjNNtil!.. There? -cftTf&in old truths that " VTTTTSe true as long as this world en dures, and which no amount of progress can alter. One of these is the truth that the primary duty of the husband is to be home maker, the bread winner for his wife and childdren, and that the primary duty of the woman Is to be the helpmeet, the house-wife and mother. The woman should have ample educational advantages; but save in exceptional cases the man must be and she need not be, and generally ought not to be, traln^ ed as tife lifelong career as the family ~T>?$adwlnner; and, therefore, after a certain point the training of the two must normally be different because the duties of the two arc normally different. This daes not mean inequality of function, but it dues mean that normally there must be dissimilarity of function. On the whole, 1 think the duty of the woman the more important, the more difficult and the more honorable of the two; on the whole 1 respect the woman who does her duty more than I respect the man who does his. No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children; for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day excry nour or tne night. ane may "nave to get up night after night to take care of a Kick child, and yet must by day continue to do all her household duties as well; and If the family means are scant she must usually en joy even her rare holidays taking her whole brood of children with her. The birth pangs make all men the debtors of all wou en. Above all our sympathy and regard are due to the struggling wives among those whom Abraham 'Lincoln called the plain people, and whom he so loved aDd trusted; for the lives of these women are often lead on the ltnely heights of Quiet, selfsacrificing heroism. DOt* DUTY OF MOTIIKItHOOD. Just as the happustand most bonFioftorftblc and most useful task that can (>oonbe>?t any man is to earn enough for GreenvfQ support of his wife and family, for Greenwt bringing up and starting iu life Hampton,j#. children, so the most imporHorry . most honorable and desirable Kersh^&g whicu can be set any woman Is to Lancer a good and wise mother in a home Lturebarked by self-respect and mutual Lee . .forbearance, by willingness to perform Lexhgtuty, and by refusal to sink into self M*** indulgence or avoid that whioh entails " effort and self-sacrlfloe. Of course there are exceptional men and excep1 tional women who can do and ought to do muoh more than this, who can * lead and ought to lead great careers B, ??of outside usefulness in addition to? Sai not eaugubstltutes for?their home g 2 em not speaking o' excep8u .mjmm'km speaking of the primary am speaking of the average oftfien, the average men and women k l em speaking to au asmothers I shall have J,"^Ttetever to say in praise of Yours is the work whi ?k ??

W)wWBl(lBulP)jBWffWPN^xr7nMH ( times; mod yet what true mother < would barter tor experience of Joy and t ?r?vr in exchange for a life of oold 1 fishftew, %hloh insist* upon prepet- 1 ual amusement and the avoidance of j care, and whloh often finds Its fit < dwelling place In some fiat designed to furnish with the least possible ex- < pendlture of effort the maximum of comfort and of luxury, but In whloh there 1b literally no place for ohlldren. NO OKIHKLDA TYPE The woman who Is a good wife, a {ood mother, is entitled to our respect as is no one else; but she Is entitled to it only because, and so long as, she 1m worthy of It. Effort and Belf saorifioe arc the law of worthy life for the man as for the woman; tbi ugh neither the effort nor the self sacrifice may be the same for the one as for the other. # 1 do oot in the least believe in the patient Qrlselda type of woman, in the woman who submits to gross and long continued 111 treatment, any more than 1 believe in a man who tamely submits to wrongful aggression. No wrong-doing is so abhorrent as wrong doing by a man towards the wife ai.d the children who should arouse every tender feeling in his nature. Selfishness towards them, lack of tenderness towards them, lack of consideration for them, above all, biut&lity in any form towards them, should arouse the heartiest scorn and Indignation In every upright soul. I believe In the woman's keeping tier self-respect just as 1 believe in the man's doing so. I believe In her rights just as much as 1 believe in the man's and indeed a little more; and 1 regard marriage as a partnership, in whloh each partner Is in honor )>ound to thiuk of the rights of the other as well as of his or her own. Hut I think that the duties are even more important than the rights; and in the long run 1 think that the reward is ampler and greater for duty well done, than for the lnslster.ee upon individual rights necessary though this, too, must often i be. Your duty Is hard, your re pan- 1 nihility great; but greatest of all Is your reward. I do not pity you in the least. Oa the oontrary, 1 feel respect and admiration for you. < DON'T WASTE AKKKOTIPN. ' Into tho woman's keeping is committed the destiny of the generations to come after us. In brluu'lm/ un >our children you mothers must re member that while It is essential to be loving aud tender it Is no ie s ! essential to be wise and firm. Fool lshiiesH and affection must not be treated as interchangeable terms; and besides training your sons and daughters lu the softer aud milder virtues you must seek to give them those stern and hardy qualities which in after life they will surely need. Some johildn n will go wrong in spite or the best training; and some will g > right even when their surroundings are most unfortunate; nevertheless an immense amount dr ponds upon the family traiuing. If you mothers through weakness bring up your sons to be seltl-.li and to think only for themselves, you will bo responsible for much sadness among the women who are to be their wives in the future. If you let your daughters grow up idle perhaps under the impression that as you yourselves have had to work hard they shall know only en joyment, you are preparing them to be useless to others and burdons to themselves. Teach boys and girls alike that they are not to look for ward to lives spent in avoiding dilll cultles but to lives spent in overc iming difficulties. Teach them that work, for themselves and also for oth ers, is not a curse but a blessing; seek to make them happy, to make them enjoy life, but seek also to make them face life with the steadfast resolution to wrest success from labor and adversity, and to do their whole duty before God and to man. Sumlv I ?hn oan thus train her sons aad her daughters Is thrloe fortunate among > women. TIIB HLKS8INO UK CHILDREN. There are many good people who ' are denied the supreme blessing of ! children, and for these we have the 1 respect and sympathy always due to , those who, from no fault of their own, are denied any of the othor great 1 blessings of life. But the man or woman who deliberately foregoes these blessings, whether from vlolous1 ness, shallow^ heartedness, s.df-lndulgence, or mere failure to appreciate aright the difference between the all Important and the unimportant? why, such a creature meritsoontempt as hearty as any visited upon the sol dier who runs away in battle, or upon the man who refuses to work for the support of those dependent upon him, and though able-bodied Is yet content to eat in Idleness the bread whioh others provide. The existence of women of this type, forms one of the most unpleasant and unwholesome features of modern life. If any one Is so dim of vision as to fail to see what a thoroughly unlovely creature such a woman Is 1 wish they would read Judge Ilobert Grant's novel "Unleavened Bread." ponder seriously the character of Selma, and think of the fate that would surely overcome any nation which developed Its average and typical woman along such lines. Unfortunately It would be untrue to say that this type exists only In American novels. That it only exists In American life Is made unpleasantly evident by the statistics as to the dwindling families evident in equally sinister fashion by the oensi.s statistic* as to divorce, which are fairly appalling; for easy divorce is now as It ever has been, a bane to any nation, a curse to society, a men ace to the home, an Incitement to married unhapplness and to immorality, an evil thing for men and a still more hideous evil foi women. These unpleasant tendencies in our American life are made evident by articles Such as those whloh 1 actually read not long ago in a certain pa per, where a clergyman was quoted, seemingly with approval, as expressing the general American attitude when he said that the ambition of any save a very rich man should be to rear two ohildren only, so as to give his ohildren an opportunity "to taste a few of t>ho good things of life." VIOIOU8 DOCTRINE. This man, whose profession and calling should have madebim a moral teacher, aotually set before others the ideal, not of training ohildren to do their duty, not of sending them forth witb 8tout hearts and ready minds to win trlumpths for themselves and their country, not of allowing them the opportunity, and giving them the privilege of making their own place In the world, but, forsooth, of keeping the number of ohildren so limited that they might "taste a few good things!" The way to give a child a fair ohanoe in life Is not to bring It up in luxury, but to see that It has the kind of training that will give It strength of oharaoter. Even apart from the vital ques 'Jon of natlocuU life, and regarding mly the Individual interest of tiie children themselves, happiness in the urue sense is a hundredfold more apt 1 co oome to any given member of a healthy family of healthy-minded children, well brought up, well educated, but taught that they must win their own way, and by their own Bxertions make their own positions of usefulness, than It is apt to come to those whose parents themselves have acted on and have trained their chtl dreu to act on, the seltlsh s>rdld theory that the whole end of life la "to taste a few good things." The intelligence of the remark is on a par with its morality, for the most rudimentary mental process would have shown the speaker that if the average family In which there are children contained but two ohildreu the nation as a whole would decrease lu population so rapidly that in two or three generations it would very deservedly be ou the point of extinction, so that the people who bad acted on this base and seltlsh doctrine would be glveu place to others with braver and more robust Ideals. Nor would such a result be lu any way regrettable; for a race that practiced such doctrine?that is, a race that practiced race suicide?would there by conclusively show that It was unlit to exist, and that it had better give place to people who had not forgotten the prlmrry laws of their being. IT'S AI.I, SIMl'LK KNOUOlt. To sum up, then, the whole matter is Bimple enough. If either a race or an Individual prefers the pleasures or mere effortless ease, of self Indulgence, to the infinitely deeper, the infinitely Inevitably in the end pay the peualty who know tho toil and the weariness, but also the Joy, of hard duty well done, why, that race or that Individual must have higher pleasures that oome to those leading a life both vapid and igneb'e. No man and no woman really worthy of the name can care for the life spent solely or chl. lly in the avoidance of risk and trouble and laoor. Save In exceptional cases the prlzis worth having In life must he paid for, and the life worth living must be a life of work lor a worthy end, and ordinarily of work more for jmio's man ior one's seir. Tne man Is but a poor creature whose effort Is 11 >l rath r for tile betterment of his wife and children than for himself; ai.d as for the mother, her very name sta ds, for loving un leltishmsi and self-abnegation, and, In any soctet> tio to exist, Is fraught with a-isoclatloi s which render it holy. The woman's task Is nut easy?no task worth doing Is easy?but in d ) lug it, and when she bas done it, there shall come to her the highest and holiest joy known to mankind; and having done it, she shall have the reward prophesied In Scripture; for her husband and her children, ye<, and ail people who realize that her work lies at the foundation of all national hap plness and greatness, shall rise up and call her blessed. Htolu a Horse and HukKVMr. John Ulmer had his horse and buggy stolen from him on Saturday night, while in Orangeburg. Mr. Uimer lives a few miksfrom the City, in the East Orange section, and was detained until after dark Saturday night In Orangeburg. He had his horse hitched on the street, and a negro came along and appropriated the outtit. Tne matter was reported to the police department, and Onlef Fischer telephoned to all nearby towns to be on the look out. Sunday afternoon word came that the horse and buggy had been located near Cope, and Instructions were Issued to arrest a negro by the name of Dykes for the stealing. Accordingly lie was arrested, although against his will, and Is now In "limbo." The hor^e and buggy will be returned to Mr. f T I - _ T a ? _ , % . * - uiuier. it is saia mat uykes was In Orangeburg Saturday night, and de sired to take a negro woman along with him to the neighborhood of Cope, where Dykes was living, lie did not own a horse and btiggy, so simply appropriated Mr. Ulmer's outtit He told the woman that the team belong to him, evidently desirous of making an Impression on her. The horse and buggy were recognizee* from descriptions sent out from Orangeburg, and the apprehension of Dykes resulted. A llaoo lUot. A special from Lake Village, Ark., says a pitched battle was fought between a sheriff's pobse of white men and three negroes suspected of mur der on the shore of the lake near that town, Tuesday afternoon, two of the blacks being killed outright and C. D. Ower.s, manager of the Red L^af plantation, wounded In the arm. The third negro escaped to the woods Bloodhounds were seut for and put upon the fugitive's trail. It is believed that he will bo taken before morning. The bodies of the negroes were taken to Lake Village and placed in the county Jail where they were viewed by large crowds. Recently two brothers named Watson were murdered near Dumas, Ark., and the three negroes were said to have pariiolpited in the crime. Killed hy a Hot) ?At Long View, Texas, Julius Stevens, a negro imprisoned in the j ill cnarged with assault up n Carl An lerson at a saw mill near that place, was snot to death Tuesday in his cell by a mob. The mob entered the Jail ano forced the Jailer to deliver trie Key to the upper compartment From there they called the negro to the front of his cell, telling him their in tentlon. The negro aske i and re celved permission to write to his mother, returning to tne cell door, where he fe.l with a 44 calibre pistol bullet through the heart. Everything is quiet there Wednesday. The negro Is supposed to be from Birmingham, Ala. Anderson, who It is asserted was struck from behind by the negro, Is in a critical oonditlon. What It Will l>o. The State says "five years of tencent cotton, home production of farm supplies and the supply of southern markets with those produots which may be produoed profitably in the south, and the momentum of our prosperity will be such that nothing can impede its wonderful progress. Is not the promise of such result worth serious effort? The association and co operation of southern farmers, bankers and merohants is the promise." Captured American Ottloers. Minister Qrisoom reports to the state department that the American military attaches who were captured with the Russians at Mukden are Col. Vallery Havard, of the medical corps, and Captain W. V. Judson, of the engineers.

G. Johnson, Editor of Agrl- ( cultural Papers In New EnKland, Enthuvlaatlo Over the South. Prof. W. Q. Johnson, managing editor of The American Agriculturist, ard Mr. Thomas A. Barrett, the treasurer of the Orange Judd PublishIrg company of New Yqrk city, were In Columbia last week. Theso gentlemen are making a tour of the fouth studying agricultural cor dltions Wednesday Mr. B J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture, accompanied them to Ridge Borings where they looked over that section. Prof. Johnson is particularly interested In the peach industry, and has just completed a book entitled "The Peach Crop." The State says he (xpressed much surprise at the extent of the peach industry In Saluda county, and stated that be did not think one-fifth part of the available area Is devoted to or chards. Having visited every peach belt in the United States, Prof. Johuson thinks farmers could more profitably plant more peaches and less oot ton in that section. Thusday in company with Commis sloner Watson, Mr. T. B. Tbackston of the Southern railroad and Mr. E. B. Clark, secretary of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, Prof. Joonson and Mr. Barrett were given a look at some of the industries about Columbia. They vlsi ed the po^er plaut, gl ss fac'ory, Oiympla cotton mllland < t >er places. The dairy farm of Mr. F. II Hyatt and the government dl vanillic ttion farm were visited. Thursday afternoon Governor Hoyward accompanied the party to the farm of Mr. R. C. Jones, about four miles no:th est of the cPy. Friday Commissi uer Watson and Mr. Thack st< n to?K the visiting gen len.eu to Aiken to lo >k over conditions there. Wli'.n sen at tiie Columnla Thurs day night by a representative of Tiie Stale, Prof. Johnson made the follow nipt ujvui ?to 4ii' ^ nj'iuiv inn1 r ested Id the agricultural development of t ie south We believe the south today i IT rs the greatest Inducements to men who are looking toward the farm ill; advantages aro unsurpassed in thissuperh climate for men who want to locate on farms. There Is no place in this c luntry where such a diversification cf crops can be successfully rotated as In the south. "Mr. Barrett and myself have been nviking annual trips through the southern States for the past tlve years Eich trip opens up new tielos for development and we are surprised at the many opportunities offered for capital In commercial enterpeises as well as in agriculture. "We have never seen a more com plete power plant than the one visit ed In that city Thursday. With the development of the great commercial centres, the outlying agricultural district must and will keep pace with them. Tills means that men who are looking for farms are turning their eyes southward. "1 do not believe there Is a worn out farm In South Carolina. It is true that there are a great many poor and unimproved farms, but they are capable of being made very productive and profitable. These farms need intelligent management and nothing else. Wo have today seen two splendid ex amplcs of what such careful super vision can do In a short time. The farm of Mr. F. II. Ilyatt and that of Mr. It. O. Jones were types of abandoned farms three years ago. Today they aro models that are a credit to any community. "The largest crop of corn ever rals ed on an acre of land was produced hi South Carolina. Some years ago The /\ meiiutui ngncuiiuraiist oir red a prize of $500 for the largest amount of com grown on one acre. Capt Z J. Drake of Marlboro county, this State, won the tlrat piize, producing 255 bushels of corn on one acre. The second prise was won by the State of Georgia, while Iowa and Nebraska came In for third and forth places. Since this contest the eyes of the north and northeastern States have been turned to the south. "Last year Mr. Harrett and I visit ed Capt. Drake at his home and saw the acre on which this world record corn crop was proiuced. Perhaps nothlug in the history of agriculture ever happ ned that turned the attention of the country so closely to South Car olina as this marvelous corn crop. 1 cite this as an instance of what can be done on these soils when properly handled. "I am satidled the Southern States will develop agriculturally more rapid ly in the next 10 yeirs than any other sect on. 1 have been advising m> friends to look southward before pur chasing new farms. Wo think tb S >uth Carolina department of agrlcul ture is wi rklng along the right lin s to develop t e va-t agricultural area-. It was your meihKlsof colonizat op that tirst attracted our attention.

"We are greatly pleassd that Gov. Iley ward has d splayed his personal Interest in the djvelopmt nt of your agricultural resources by the establishment of a department that is doing ho n uch good woj k. In our opinion one of the features of Gov. iley ward's administration that will stand out prominently in the future will be his personal Interest in the agricultural development of this State. Wo are indeed glad to know from the governor's wn Hps that he has and Is giving agriculture such close personal attention. We prediot a great future for South Carolina farmers." Fatal Watorapout.
