Etta Jane, Oct. 17.—Rev. C. E.
Robertson will preach at Salem on the
29th and 30th inst, administering the
sacrament of the Lord’s Supper on
Sunday.
We hope that the mothers who feel
an interest in their offspring will
carefully read and re-read the sermon
of Dr. T. Dewitt Talmage on “The
mother o< men,” and how women
shape destiny, as published last weeK
in this paper, and measure their
responsibility by what he says. If
they would do their duty in the light
in which we see it the millium would
soon down upon the earth. We look
upon motherhood as the most hon
orable, influential and responsible of
fice ever bestowed upon humanity by
the Creator. There is nothing the
devil fears like he does a praying
mother. She rocks in the cradle the
destiny of two eternities. Rut, with
all this, the father and teacher are
not relieved of the responsibility
that attaches to each of them in
their respective spheres. Neither
would we have them think that
neglect on the part of the mother is
any excuse for the improper dis
charge of their duties to the young.
As proof of this we quote from a
religous paper now before us:
A gentleman was riding in the su
burbs of Buffalo with his small boy,
and they stopped at a tavern to water
his horse. The child watched the
operation intently, and evidently
thinking it clumsily managed spoxe
out:
“Rapa, why doesn’t the horse take
the pail up with his feet and drink?”
“Why; he isn’t made that way.”
“Why not?”
“Well, God didn’t see fit to make
him so.”
“Why didn’t God make him so?”
“Ah! that beats me. How should
I know?”
The infant’s respect for his father
clearly suffered. "H! m!” said he.
after a moment’s reflection, “i’ll ask
grandmama. She knows God.”

It is a very common thing for us to
hear people speak kindly of “The Led

paper inside the State has a better

one thing—an educational column

who have no school faculties. There
is plenty of latent talent in the
county to make this an interesting
department.
In one of Frank Beard’s significant
cartoons, “Uncle Sam” with his flag
stands before the prophet who holds
a Bible in his hand, near them is a
group of heathen children. “Uncle
Sam” (pointing to them) says:
“I have freed them and fed them—■
what shall I do next?” The prophet
replies. “Give them the school
house and the Bible.” There is
many a poor child In the country
who if only given an opportunity
will make something of himself. We
think the young should receive
something from us besides protection
and love. We are to guide thorn
carefully; to instruct them fully in
the paths by which they are to jour
ney where they may no longer cling
to our hand. We are to teach them
so that when we leave them to go on
their way alone they may know how
to steer for the safe haven; and no
art of well-doing brings its reward
so promptly as we go along than
faithfulness in this. It seems to us
that the world is strangely indifferent
as this point.
If wo expect to claim Lorn our
children love, affection and regard,
we should sow the seeds in youth;
and when the sun-set of our lives
draw nigh, and the shadows are
lengthening before us, how anxious
will they be to repay us for the many
years of care they have received
from us.
Our present life with all its ac
tivities and enjoyments, is but the
flower, form of a being whose fruit-
form is an after and higher life, and
decay and death are no more than
the falling of petals from the well set
fruit. Human life and .flower-life
are alike mainly in this. Both are
stages of progress. The fruit, not
the flower, is perfection. This world
is not all; there is a world beyond
and there come to* all a time of re
ward, or punishment.

The African (Limbless Cotton.
[Wattorboro Press and Standard.]
Several Colleton farmers last
spring planted small patches of the
African or Jackson limbless cotton,
being anxious to test for themselves
the merits of the new botanical mar
vel so elaborately extolled through
newspaper advertisements. While
wo have hud no direct information
recently as to how the cotton turned
out, we are led to believe that the
results have not measured up to all
that was claimed for the new cotton.
The Press and Standard never did
have any faith in the so-called new
plant and took occasion to warn our
farmers against investing lavishly
their savings, in the seed.
The curiosity of cotton experts
was aroused when the advertisements
first appeared, and one of them de
cided to make an investigation. His
decision is that the African limbless
cotton bore no more relationship to
the staple that nourishes in the
Dark Continent than do California
grapes to Irish potatoes.
The expert states that while duly
impressed with the extraordinarily
large size of the trees and the fine
quality of the cotton, reflection led
him to form the opinion that the tall
tree was not a desirable form of cot
ton plant, for the reason that its
height would render it more liable to
damage from wind storms, the trees
would have to be planted nearer to
gether and the soil would require a
great deal more fertilizer to produce
fine cotton on such big plants. An
other weakness was the exceptionally
high price of the seeds. The mar
velous African limbless cotton seed
was $200 a bushel, while it has
actually sold at retail at $1,800 a
bushel, so taicen wore some of the
less careful cotton growers with the
description of the new cotton plant's
merits.
The expert states that he was
prejudiced at the offset against the
new cotton, but set about his investi
gations conscientiously, as many in
tending investors had asked opinions
and were awaiting the report before
risking their money.
The result of the expert’s investiga
tions were that the.African limbless
cotton was precisely the same as
that produced by a cotton grower of
Texas, who, by combining a tall va
riety of cotton plant with a short
one, and using an unusally liberal
amount of fertilizer, had made of the
combination a very tall cotton tree,
with branches that spread but a lit
tle way from the stem.
Continuing, he found that the
headquarters for tho African limbless
cotton seed were located on a small
farm in a Southern State. The
planter had taken the seed described
and had sown it in soil impregnated
with animal manure, to which had
been added liberal quantities of
phosphate of lime. In a word, the
soil had been fertilized with a liber
ality that would be impossible to the
planter, and in this soil the seed had
been sown. Of course it grew under
such favorable conditions to an un
usual height, and the staple was ex
tremely fine. But African origin had
nothing to do with this. It was
American clear through.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has been communicated
with and replies that it has been
looking into the claims of the
advertiser of the new cotton plant,
and has discovered its identity with
that of the Texas combination plant.
Furthermore, the two plants have
been submitted to an eminent botan
ist, who has made the most careful
examlcations of both and found
them to be similar in every respect.

Not Forgotten.
We often hear it said, “Out of sight,
out of mind.” But sayings like this
are not always true, from the very
fact that I have just received a letter
from a messmate of my departed hus
band in which he very freely express
ed himself as to their intimacy during
tho war between the states. He
says:
“Well do I remember his career as
a soldier was characterized by that
high sense of honor and fidelity to
duty that attached to him in all the
relations of life. Every duty was
faithfully performed by him and so
prompt and faithful was his life to the
claims of duty that the captain under
whom he served said to him on one
occasion, ‘My dear sir, we have no
friend who would be so greatly missed
as you.’ We all had unbounded con
fidence in his judgement and while
very unassuming he was brave enough
to do what he believed was right in
the face of all opposition. I said to
him one day while our scanty meal
was being cooked, ‘How do you feel
about living till the war is over?’
His answer was, ‘So long as I have a
praying wife at home I have no
doubts.’ Then after our meal was
over, as was his custom, he took his
little Bible and went off to himself,
and more than once I saw him mark
where he was reading, and when I
heard of his death 1 said, 'A great,
good man is gone.’ In addition to
the above I believe I can safely say,
none knew him but to love him, none
named him but to praise him.”
Yes, he brought that little Bible
you speak of home and many are the
marks I find in it, such as, “I am
just off duty and will read twenty-
third Psalm. While I am reading
this chapter in Math. I hear someone
singing ‘Home, Sweet Home.” I
can say I know of no one in any posi
tion in the church more loyal than
was he. He was a true friend of the
preachers, ready to defend them
against all attacks, and prompt too,
to point out their errors—a friend to
them indeed.
(>, how we miss him ! especially in
our home, for no man ever loved home
better than he. There seems to be a
change everywhere and in everything.
I feel that the course of true wisdom
is to look forward and if possible try
to grasp the aims of God in these
wonderful changes and seek to be
what He would have us to be in their
midst and in the peril of their admin
istration. Mks. R. Ann Waters.
A Point.
It is possible to overreach the peo
ple that you want to reach in your
advertising. You have to decide on
the intelligence of your hearers. You
have to talk their kind of talk. You
have to reason their way. You have
to use their kind of words. There is
where the syndicate form of adver
tising is a failure. It doesn’t appeal
to the right kind of people in one
case out of ten. When a man wants
to reach a laboring man he must use
the laboring man’s advertising. It
doesn’t make any difference what
books, periodicals or any thing else
say about the wording or the style of
an ad, this one thing must be kept in
mind: Advertising is for results, not
art nor literature.—0. V. White.

THE CROPPINQ EVIL.
A Veteran Planter Makes a Suggestion
that May Curtail the Crop.
(MumphiH Commi'rclal-Appeal.)
All efforts so far by conventions to
curtail the acreage of cotton have
failed. It seems to me that there is
a way to success, and it is by putting
an end to the prevailing system of
cropping. An owner of land usually
rents out bis fields to small tenants
in such sized tracts as they individu
ally seem capable of ‘cultivating.
These tenants proceed to put iu as
much cotton as they individually can
possibly cultivate and twice as much
they can possibly pick out; then, at
harvest, extra pickers are in demand
and they being scarce, are able to
dictate their own terms, the conse
quence being that the cotton costs
more than it will bring in the mar
ket. Resolutions by conventions
cannot alter this condition. Planters
meet and resolve to plant less cotton,
go home, rent out their lands to
croppers and the old game is played
over and over, year after year.
Is there no|||remedy? I think
there is. Let landlords hire labor
and pay for it as it is perfonned.
The merchants are to blame that
this plan has not been adopted long
since. If a land owner, seeing the
evil of cropping years ago, approach
ed a merchant (and cotton factor)
and asked for assistance to work his
lands, in the form of cash advances,
agreeing to give mortgages on his
lands, crops, stocks, etc. the mer
chant would coldly refuse; he would
be willing to aid with merchandise,
for which he would charge as large
a profit as a conscience would per
mit, with perhaps a little cash now
and then to pay doctor’s bills and
for coffins. The planter was com
pelled to accept these terms and
went sorrowfully home and again let
out his land to small tenants, who
consented to work after a fashion,
provided they were furnished with
supplies in quantities largely beyond
the actual value of their labors.
There is a large number of plant
ers with credit so well established
that they can get tho cash needed
and cun work their lands with hired
labor. They can put in as much or
as little cotton us they think it
profitable to raise, and there cun be
no complaint among the laborers if
they are paid in full every Saturday
night.
Planters too often buy their corn
instead of making it. They say it is
not a paying crop, and it is not,
when made by renters. It does not
realize as much to the acre as cotton,
but it requires ten months to culti-
vote and harvest a crop of cotton,
and but five months for corn, and at
less than half the expense of labor.
Merchants and factors who hold
large ' plantations, on which they
have foreclosed, may not fancy the
plan suggested, as these plantations
are dumping grounds for large quan
tities of merchandise, but it will pay
even them to have responsible mana
gers and pay their laborers weekly;
nor will it in any way affect their mer
chandise business, as each of these
owners maintain a store on his plan
tation, where, instead of supplying
the people on credit, he can sell
them goods for cash.
As long as the owners of large
bodies of land leave their land to
the ignorant management of irre
sponsible croppers, white and black,
just so long will cotton be overpro
duced, and soon the wages of labor
in this favored Southern land will be
on a parity with those of the peas
antry of Germany, Italy or Russia.
