This Is to be a play-a drama in which thero are but two actors-a hero and a heroIne. Fifty years ago they are the bright particular stars in this samo play and were the cynosures of ,.: py eyes and received the warm (on ratuiations of kindred and friends, now the role of the drama is re , versed. The stars have faded and lost their dazzling light. Th, actors can no longer strut or pose upon the stage and the sympathetic audience must do - the playing. Passive, pensive, sub duod and grateful my wife and I can only receive our friends, listen to their salutations, rejoice with those who re joice and sympathize with those who have had sorrow. FIfty years ago there was not a cloud hovering over our horizon--no apprehension of ti ouble or grief or death or war or any dire calamity. Bright hopes and fond expectations filled our cup to the brim and-Lovo's young dream made every thing to seem beautiful. We breathed the poet's grateful prayer, "The world is very lovely. Oh my God I thank Thee that I live." The memory of those halcyon days is sweet and lingers with us, but in course of time the unwelcome contrast came. Afllictions and anxieties in vaded our humble home. Sickness came, and death, and then war with all its horrors. Then our dear parents passed away and left us to fight our battles alone, and we have long since learned that life's victory is to suffer and be strong-to look upon the bright side-to enjoy the blessings of the pres ont rather than lament those we have lost or borrow trouble that may never comO. In looking backward over our welded life I can say that we havo had more than our share of peace and joy-of comfort and luxury--of healtti and strength ; more than usually falls to the lot of mortals. As we look around or read the public press we learn Al misery and distress, sickness and want all over this blossed land, and there are thousands of unhappy creatures languisning in the prisons while their wives and mothers and children suftur and grieve in broken-hearted homies. It grieves us to think of these, and we can but rejoice that Providence has granted to us a better fate. We still - have liberty and neither we nor our children nor our children's children havo ever suffered for the comforts of life. Some years ago, at a county fair in Arkansas, I was introduced to an aged couple who had been awarded the premium for bringing upon the ground the largest family and tbo most num orous posterity. Eaich of theu had passed the four score mark, and while I was taking notes the old iman said : "And you may put down that nary one of our ten sons or seven sons-in-law have ever boon brought into court for anything that they have done. And Mr. Arp you mne.y put down that me and nmy wife have lived together six ty one years and both joined the Baptist church sixty years ago, and undurin' .all that time I have voted the Demo cratic ticket ;-put- that down, Mi. Arp." If I were asked what ath ver that vsthe workd ans wer, " It Atho . , all passions, all delIgh ts T stirs this mortal frame, 4~ ut ministers of love -~ ~$,~td feed lts sacred flame." ~ 'ducati and religion and inven .~ ~ tion are all levers, but stronger than all -combined is love--the love of p~arents for their children and their children's, chldrcn-the love of hus band and wife, of young men for their sweethearts or of our girls for their lovers, the love of frier'd for friend and of the generous and philanthropic for humankind, tho-lovo of home and coun try and of the senes of our childhoot, the hills and vales and springs and' streams, the trees and flowors that adorn them. Walter scott never wro.e a stronger or truer verse than wvheni ho said: "Loves rules the camp, the court, the grove, And men below and saints above : For love is heaven and heaven is jove.' Fond memory goes back to my own youthful days when I was a schoolboy and loved a pretty lass of twelve sum mers and she knew It, and when at our books on opposite sides of the room ever and anon she glanced at me and always blushed when I returned hier gaze. It was an incentive to me to study and keep up with her, for sbe was a good scholar. At the weekly spelling bee, when all of us stood in 'a semi-circle half round the room she generally got head and stayed there, and I generally got next to hera aznd slyly hold her hand in mine and stayed there, too. That was but a school boy's love and with time and separation it a faded away. Tihon 1 wocnt to the in stitute and was prepared for college and in duo time became a sophomor'e at what is now called the University of Georgia. I found many sweet and pretty girls in Athens, and (during my second year fell desperately in love with. one of them. Ah, how gently she tolled ma along and how sweetly she toyed with me and sang the same old story " Will you walk into myr parlo, said the spider to the fly '-and I walked in. She was kind, very kind, and said she would always love me as a sister. Alas, these sisters who are -of no kin. My addresses were rejected and all I could do was to smite upon my breast and exclaim : -" Maid of Athens, ore we par t, But time is a good doctor and in a~ few months I was well and ready for another spider. When nea-ing the close of my college life my father's extreme illness called me home and I took charge of his mnur 9antile business. Three years before, when I went to college, I left behind nie a lereet little hazel-eyed, black * hqired: bruanette who was a school girl In short dlresses anA. pantalettes. soon after xny departure she lengthened out -her d /esses and was sent byher father Sto At iset~there to 'nish her educa io.We b~th retui'ned -home about the same t~ime, and I was surprised and de'Iiited to find her a full blown rose, a bpttn0de maiden as dark as Pouia hontas and as shy as a f~wn.

To me it is longthoned sweet ness long drawn out, for it did not take me long to fall deeply, desperately, devotedly in love and my opinion was then and still is, that Oupid shot us both at once with the same arrow. A girl of sixteen who has never had a lover is easily captured by a smart, handsome, promising young man, and my wife will toll you that I was all of that and more, too. I remember, oh yes, I remember, how one moonlight night, when we were taking a walk with a I)arty of young )eo)lo and I had ventured to tako her hand in mino as I recited somo pretty verses from Goldsmith's " Heirmit," I said : '' And now, my lear girl, why shouldent we love each nhcir and mat and marry like the birds." The gentle pressuro of her hand was answer enough and I drew her closer to me and kissed her, "She wept with pity and delight, She blushed with love and virginshamo, And like the murmur of a dream I heard her breathe my name." "She half inclosed mo in her arms, She prossed me with a meck embrace, And bonding back her head looked up And gazed into my face." That is the way that Coleridge won his Genovieve-his bright and beau teous bride ; and on that same line did I win mine. She was not my first love, but I was hers, bless her hoart. Oi love, delicious, angelic love, the boon fron heaven, the comfort of the soul I When I was young my father made me commit to memory the " liermit " and " Genevieve," "1 The Song of the Shirt," " Gray's Elegy,' " Marco liozaris " and umany other pathetic pieces, and I love to recall t0bem, for there is no su 1hi poetry written now.

The operation Of the liquor comp an 3 sstem in Norway, by means of whiob 3 the sale and consumption of intoxicants arc controlled and modified, 19 attract. I Ing a good deat of attention, both in I Europe and in this country, says a writer In the Chicago News. There has been, for many years, very well directed efforts made both in Sweden and Norway to limit the evils of liquor drinking, which was becoming more prevalent and disastrous in each than the patriotic people believed to be conducive to the best interests of the government. In Sweden the Gothen burg system has been in vogue for thirty years, wtih very satisfactory re. suits, while in Norway various plans are in use, none of which is app icable to the whole country. As a matter of fact there are portions of Norway in which it is impossible to procure a drink of distilled liquor, and It is called by a recent writer " a country of the Maine liquor 1a.W . and of that law thoroughly and beneficially enforced." The Norwegian enactments do not, in general, seek the suppression of the drink traffic in the large centers of population, but rather its rigid regula tion and control. In the cities the company system is generally adopted, by which the sale of liquors is given to a stock company whion conducts the business not to in crease, but to restrict it. irof. Pea body, of Harvard University, in a re cent article shows how this system works in Bergen, a Norwegian city of 45,000 inhabitants. The city has nine saloons and four wholesale liquor stores, all managed by a company composed of 237 persons, the capital stock being $20,000, upon which only 5 per cent as interest can be returned.. The stock. holders are all persons of character, who hold the shares because prompted by public spirit rather than a desire for gain. Of the saloons managed by the company Prof. Peabody says when one enters them " he finds a place of the most cheerless and repellent character. There no tables or chairs or encouragement for idlers, but simply counters, provided with small glasses of the company's, measured like an apothecary's, for the exact doso. A cumstomer entors, drinks his thimble full, as if of medicine, and at once wi thdraws. Instead of solicitation thoro is the barest permission. The business is conducted, as it were, under protcst, and nothing but the most re solute detormination to drink-a do termination which no prohibitory law would be able to frustrate-seems like ly to draw one into these inhospitable (ispensaries." Theso saloons are open from 8 to 12 in the morning and from 1:30 to 7 in the afternoon. On Sundays and holi d ays they close at 1 in the afternoon. The Norwegian saloons are therefore closed at those hours when the grog shops in this country are doing their largest business. The profits of the Bergen company in 1897 were about $50,000, of which sum $30,000 was di vided among various charitable and educational institutions of the city. Since 158' this company has divided about $600,000 among theso local or ganizalions. Under the workings of these laws, Prof. Peabody says, " Nor way is the most temperate country in Europe." In this connection the anti-tobacco legislation in Norway is of interest. A law was recently passed making it a misdemeanor to sell tobacco to any boy under 16 years of ago without he has a written order signed by an adult relative or employer. Tourists who otfer such boys a cigarette render themselves liable to prosecution under the law. Police oilcers are ordered to co)nhi.cte the pipes, cigars, cigarettes and tobacco found upon lade who are caughzt smoking in the p~ublic streets. T~he line for vlolation of the anti tobacco law varies from 50 cents to $25. TILLTMAN IN 1900.-The Geonvllle Mountaineer, edited by Col.

A South Oarplino a' ' Makes a Profit by, 1I0aiO6 and Hoge. Keovree Courier. That a man can raise hogs enqugl fot* home use, and thus dismiss cott mission men and Western raiser's A well, without Interfering with othe crops, is the experience of Mr. R. B Collins, of Fort Madison, S. 0. But a few weeke ago Mr. Collini killed a 426-pounder. "It was no grea wonder," he writes, "because I havw neighbors who do even bettor. Mr. Collins, upon being asked to giv4 his experience for the benefit of hii fellow farmers, modestly said: "I can raise hogs with more east than I can talk to the public. I an now giving cattle raising more atten tion than hogs. I sold ten head o: steers of my own raising, which wer< shipped from my home in Fort Madisor in January last. The experimeni proved a great success. "As to my hogs, however, I will s83 that I did kil a pig eleven and one half months old that weighed 421 pounds In January last. I lay no clain to being the best hog raiser in my see tion, as several of my neighbors hav raised and killed larger hogs than : ever have, though the pig In questioi beats any vet, taking age into consId eration.

Of course that can be consid ered at a profit. "I have never tried any expurimen in feeding my hogs. Corn first an( last has been my main dependence foi feed. I wean my pigs at one monti old, give them milk and soft bread foi a week or two, until they begin to en corn, letting them have free access ti the young weeds and grass.

February or Marol pigs make the cheapest meat that w4 can raise, generally making 250 art 300-pound hogs in the fall." COTTON A BY-PRODUCT. It is estimated that during the pas year over 4,000,000 tons of cotton sec were crushed, and that from them pre ducts valued at more than $120,000,00 were marketed. Only a few years ag the see of the cotton plant was prac tically a waste produlct, and ofteni source of annoyance, if not acto~n1 ex p~ense to the planter. The growth r t he cotton oil indlustry has beeni hai dl, short of marvelous. Last year- thieri werec shipped nearly 40,000,000 gallon of the oil to Europe, a large incas< over all previous years, anud it is con lidlently expected that the exports o oil for the prescnt year will, be ver, much greater. And while the liel for the oil is being extended, new use; for it are constantly found. The mar ket, therefore, is far from being full: developed. In view of these fact, says the Savan nah News, it is not beyond the ran~ g of possibilhties that mn course of time and it may not be such a long time either-the lint of the cotton plan will b)eome the by-product andl the seed the chief staple. There is al presenit a very wide margin betweer the total value of the lint crop and th< seed crop; but it must be borne in min( that while all thie limit is iai-vestedi and marketed, only a portion of the sucd crop ic uitibzed. Shiould the p~ric o. lint go much lower than it is at present and should1( the dievelopment of the oil industry and its collaterals go on ithl aniything like the same rate of progress that has beeni noted (luring tihe past ten years, the seedl crop might easily beconme the most valuable product of ihe cotton plant. Reycysahs in indus try, equally as remarkable as this wouki be, havce heretofore occurred. Five or six years ago the principal mines in Colorado were knqwn as sil ver mmnes, though they also contained gold. The extraction of the silver wai the most profitable, hence the mair p roduct of the mines was that metal, When the price of silver fell to a 1ow figure the owners of the min'es dovoted their attention to gold as the main pro duct and silver as the 'by-product, Color-ido is now prodlucing more gobl than ever before in her history. The11 great c~lopo mines on Lake Michigai were at first know as silver mines, un til it, was discovered that they could be madeh to produce copper at a better pr-ofit than silver. Tihecy ame still, as 1 matter of fact, producing both of th( mectals, but silver is the by-product and1( 1s dlependedl up)on to pay the cx penses of exitracting tihe copp~er. And thus it may be in the matter of cotton. We imay discover that the seed is the most valuable part of the product, and raise the lint to pay the cost of grow. ing the seed.

It has received so much attention be cause it proves that at least one farmer a has succeeded in raising cotton at a cost Of 2.97 cents per pound. This farmor Is Mr. E. W, 3rawleo, and his a farm is near Mooresville in North b Carolina. Having made such a rm. markable record, one naturally wants to know who Mr. Brawley is. He is the son of a successful Nortn Carolina farmer, and graduated at the Universi ty of North Carolina In June, 1894, with honors. "His aims and offorts in college were towards securing a first rate English education." He did not take a course in agriculture, but "he never once gave up the desire of his boyhood. To be a successful larmer was the height of his ambition." Mr. Brawley, therefore, farms because it is his chosen avocation, and he loves it. This is an important element in attain i.g siuccess. "He is a very methodical, y pains-taking worker," and we are, [ therefore, prepared to accept the state ment that "he keeps accurate accounts of his work," and that "his books are as essential to him as the books of a manufacturing concern are to the mill. I1o is his own book-keeper." Now as to his methods. As soon as he buys a piece of land he opens an - account with it ; charges it with all that goes on it and credits it with all that cornea off it. In illustration of how accurate and particular Mr. Braw ley is in his accounts with his different r farms, the Observer's correspondent mentions a credit, of 12 rails given to y one farm from which the rails were I taken.. Such a methodical and pains 3 taking farmer as Mr. Brawley appears 1 to be would, of course, have the edges of every , field shaped and cleaned. Unlike most farmers he seews to prefer land in a itn-down condition, which lie btys cheap and then builds up. Speak ing of one farm the correspondent - says: "Three years ago I rode over his farms with him. I remembered one in particular as being badly washed and cut in sections by gullies. I hardly knew that faim when there the other day. The thin ilaces have fattened and the gullies have been filled and the i land levelled. To begin with, the gul 3 lies were filled in, the flelds plowed 3 deep with a two-horse plow, and peas sown with a few hundred pounds of commercial fertilizers per acre. Mr. Brawley's method of improving land is b after this fashion : Ie takes poor land, y sows it in rye, with 200 pounds of b guano and a ton of lime. The lime is I put on in the winter. In the spring the rye is turned under. The lime keeps it from souring. After the rye, cow peas are sown with 400 pounds of acid and potash per acre. The peas are mowed and the land is sowed in wheat and clover with 200.to 300 pounds of acid t and potashi." Af ter this Mr. Brawley l finds his land in good condition, and he fuither improves it by rotation in crops. IHis system of rotation is now under D test. It is a six year process. 'lie first year lie plants cotton, the second Scotton andl crimlsoin clover, planting the -clover when he works the cotton fo~r the flast time. The third year he. plants corn and cow peas with a heavy spread a of stable manure ; small grain and red s clover the fourth year ; red clever the a fIfth year, followed by wheat and then. - peas the sixth year." f .Mr. Brawley furnishes interesting| , information as to the way a farmer 1 should procure his fertilizers. He buys s the ingredients and mixes thqm him -self. He finds that lie saves money. Most farmers pay $18 to $22.50 per ton. '"Last- year- Mr. Brawley's ferti . lPzers cost him $1,008.82 laid 'down at 3 Mooresv~ille. The ingredients to make - his guanos cost. $714.39, and freight on ,the saine was $214.43. Besides his ~ t, cotton seed meal cost himu $72. Hence the cost per ton .was $15.78." H~e, therefore, saved $3 to $5 pci ton by 4 ruixing his own fertilizers. .It must be remembered that start.. ing in to milk a heifer when she first crnes in is taking a considerable lib. nqcessary to milk her, she shonld have been prevlously handled noW and then, her legs rubbed and her udder stroked i and feit.
