He advocates the union of Iheso farmers into .such a town or community, each one going out from bis home in the morning to his field as u city laborer goes out to his work.

Hr Houi;i,t It CTix-wp at Auction, Where It Was liinxlvertently Solxl. Iltultlmors American,| The bitter controversy between United States Senators McLaurin and Tillman, of South Carolina, calls to tho mind of Col. Willard Howard, commander of the Fourth regiment Maryland national guard, an inter esting experience he had with Sena tor Tillman not so very long ago con cerning an antique mahogany table, which was an heirloom in the colo nel’s family. When the colonel dis continued housekeeping, shortly af ter the death of Mrs. Howard, ho stored some of his furniture in Washington, where he had a married daughter and where he spent much of his time. In the lot there was a mahogany table which the colonel wished to preserve because of its age and asso ciations. In some manner, which could not be accounted for, the table got among some household goods that were being auctioned off at the storage warehouse. Senator Tillman admired it and bought it for $10. Learning of the transaction several days afterward, Colonel Howard en deavored to get the table back into his own poiBeseion. By this time, however, it had been given a conspic uous place in the senator's house hold and was the admiration of his family and friends. Colonel Howard at once wrote to Senator Tillman giving him a history of the table, calling attention to the fact that it was never intended for the auction room, and requesting that it be returned to him. At the same time the colonel said be would pay all the charges and send a check for the amount the senator bad paid for the valuable piece of furniture. Almost the very next mail brought to Colonel Howard this crisp reply from the senator: "Buy me a table as good us the one I have and I will return yours to you." That settled the table so far as Colonel Howard was concerned. Senator Tillman had a prize, and he knew it.. Col. Howard also knew that he might travel from one end of the globe to the other and possibly never be able to duplicate that table, which was originally purchased abroad for a large sum of money. Colonel Howard recently returned to Baltimore from a protracted busi ness trip through the South. He said, with reference to the McLaurin- Tillman controversy, that talks with the business men and merchcnts of tho South impressed him with the fact that the policies advocated by Senator McLaurin are in full accord with public sentiment throughout the South. "As I understui d it," the colonel said, "the South is ready to support pen with more progressive ideas than some of its representatives have had in the past. The old war sentiment is rapidly dying out.” -It Can’t be DM.” [.jouisburg Times. | We agree with a brother editor that there are a good many men who are lying under the green today be cause they tried to please everybody. When they started out in life they made up their minds that everybody should be satisfied with them, but they didn’t succeed in making any body happy but the undertaker. The world is full of fault finders and grumblers, and a man cannot walk five minutes in any given direc tion without meeting with ’em. Even when a man turns bis face to the wall, kicks the foot of the bed and expires there are people who will find fault with it. Some will say that he ought to have done it twenty years ago, while others will say that he ought to have waited a little longer for the sake of his family. The man who jogs along from day to day and does his best, regardless of what people say, is the one wha Is the hardest to kill, and when at last he does die there is about as many bouquets laid on his casket as there are on the casket of the man who worried himself into Abraham’s bosom.
