Farm Villages.
Some litt?? time since I wrote an arti
cle for The Southern Cultivator about
Farm Villages. Tbe article has been
veimgeaerally copied and approved by
^ress at the South. Indeed, the
plans submitted :b*ve met with such
geoeral favor $nd the demands for some
such change seem so imperative, that I
feel inclined to discuss the ^subject a
little more at length.
I call attention to the following ends
to'"be met :
t. Intelligent, cultured farmers are
not willing to isol?t*, themselves in the
seciusion of the counjry, aod such farm
ers will abandon ?ieir farms before they
will consent to rear their families in lo
calities- .without social, educational and
religious advantages. If this be true!
agriculture at the South, will be finally
abandoned to such, farmers as are com
pelled, from necessity and not induced
by choice, to remain on the farm,
2. The peculiar conditions of our so
. ciety demand some security and protec
tion from the lawless and violent not
found in sparsely settled rural districts:
3 Our farms at the South are entire
ly too large to induce intensive farming,
and this condition keeps our system un
der expensive, wasteful and ruinous
methods. I know of no better plan to
get our farmers down to intensive meth
ods than under the plan proposed in my
suggestions about farm villages. These
are the main points to be met, and they
are, in my judgment, imperative.
It is quite evident that educated
young men are abandoning the farms,
aod tfc?3 tendency will cod tin ue to in
crease as the conditions grow gradually
worse. A greater necessity for some
such change as that suggested will be
found in the absence of protection for
farmer's families as they now live.
No man who properly cares for the
weaker people of his home is content to
leave them without protection, exposed
to the peculiar dangers that surround
them under our present faroi condi
tions.
These troubles can be met and the
further advantages of intensive farming
can be secured by gathering the farmers
into localities easily accessible to their
farms, and at the same time, furnishing
them sueh social, educational and relig
ious advantages, under proper protec
tion, as are absolutely necessary for the
advancement of the people and the pros
perity of the section.
Farm villages are not an experiment.
au the farming in Europe is done by
people who live io communities contig
uous to their farms. The scheme is far
beyond an experiment, and it is settled
by years of approved success as the
best solution of agricultural difficulties.
The main question after having ac
cepted the idea as practical is bow is
the matter to be put into shape* This
question I difcussed in a former article,
but to be a little more specific, I would
advise the project as a business enter
prise.
A company cf citizens unite and sub
scribe to a capital stock of one hundred
thousand dollars to build and equip a
-cotton factory. After constructing the
-building aod setting up proper machin
ery, the company will erect forty or fif
ty nice, attractive cottages as homes for
the operatives. This makes a manu
facturing village run by a corporation.
Now apply the same methods, pur
chase 5,000 acres of land and suitably
lay it off into one hundred acre lots,
.all touching upon same central point at
which the homes of the farmers will be
built. Employees with their families
can occupy the homes and the corpora
tion, if you please, can run the farms
as the corporation runs the factories,
making the tenants or employees partic
ipants in the results with the prospect
-of eventual purchase.
If some such plan should be adopted
in the Southern States and the farms
ran on shares by the companies estab
lishing them, or sold outright to the
colonies settling upon them, there is
hope of building up our rural districts.
If, on the other hand, we leave these
interests to take care of themselves, it
is only a question of limited time, in
my candid judgment, before the rural
.districts at the South will be abandoned
to a thriftless, indolent population who
have but littre care for their own devel
opment or the good of the Stare.
If we prosper we must make many
radical changes in our plans.?W. J

A Bicyclist's Long Ride.g
A bicyclist who is attempting a ride
across the continent has come to the
conclusion that it is very hard work
and does not pay. He made the dis
tance between Los Angeles and Albu
querque, N. M., in twenty-four days,
suffered a great deal from hunger,
thirst and exposure, and met with ad
ventures that were not always desirable.
For instance the Navajo Indians exhib
ited a rud* and annoying curiosity con
cerning the reason for she existence of
his machine and their ability to ride it
themselves. Popping up ont of the
sand bills, they chased him for mile?,
and if they overtook him, insisted on
having a mount, which under the cir
cumstances it was hard to refuse. On
one occasion he broke his canteen, and,
racked with thirst, dared to stop an ex
prees train and ask for a driuk. He
reports that the engineer shewed a good
deal of indignation, but relieved h\>
sufferings. When the bicyclist arrived
at Albuquerque, many of the spokes of
bis maciiine were broken and twisted,
and he himself presented a sorry spec
tacle.

The "New Boy."
riA new boy came into our rfn* 'S
today," said a wholesale merchant to
his wife at the supper table " Je w ?
hired by the firm at the request of to*
senior member, who thought thn b>3
gave promise of good thing*. I>u? j '
feel sure that boy will he out of the :
oince in less than a week *'
"What makes you think so ?"
"Because the Sr>t thing he wanted
t know was just exactly how much hr
was expected to do."
"Perhaps you will change your mind
about him "
"Perhaps I shall," repiied the mer
chant, "but I thiuk not "
Three days later the business man
sa:d to his wife :
"About that b">y you remember I
spoke of two or three days ago. Well,
he is the best boy that ever entered the
efoie "
"How did you find that out?*'
"In the easiest way in the world.
T^t fitst morning after the boy beg m
work he performed very faithfully and
systematically the exact duties assigned,
which he had beeu so careful to have
explained to him. When he had fin
ished he came to me and said : 'Mr.
M-, I have fiuished all that work.
Now what can I do ?*
"I was surprised, but I gave him a
little job of work^anA forgot all aboat
him until he came into my room with
the question, ?What next?' That set
tled it for me. He was the first boy
that ever entered our office who was
willing and voluntered to do more than
was assigned him. I predict a success
ful career for that boy as a business
man."
Business men, heads of firms, know
capacity when they see it, and they
make a note of it. Willingness to do
more than the assigned task is one of
the chief stepping stones to commercial
success ?Youth's Campanion.
How One Physician Treats
Burns.
The doctor hears a great outory as he
oears a boarding house and some one
calls: "Run for the doctor, quick
but he is at hand, and goes within. A
child had been playiog near the stove
while the breakfast was in preparation,
and succeeded in depositing on its abdo
men part of the contents of a dish of hot
gravy. The result is a blister as large as
a man's hand, extending from umbilicus
to epigastrium; child is two years old
Its writhings are very similar to con
vulsions, irs screams arousing every one
in the nouse. The doctor, cool and
collected in tbatbabel of confusion, takes
from the shelf an unbroken package of
soda, pours half of its contents into a
tin was h dish, adds enough water to this
to make a thick paste, and covers
the burn with tbe mixture making the
application half an inoh thick. As
soon as this is applied the child stops
crying and is free from pain. Leaving
orders to keep (be child quiet all day,
and not to allow the soda to become dry
for eight hours, he'quietly leaves the
room.?Or. C. S. Cope.
The republican party in the State is
in favor of the Tillman administration.
"Occasional," who is a straightout, con
sistent white republican, makes a strong
showing for Tillman in this issue. At
tbe republican convention of the sixth
congressional district in Florence, ex
State Chairman, E M. Brayton, made
a 6trong speech in favor of Tiliman
because his administration was a "God
send to the negroes" He looked for
ward to the day "when the Tillman
faction and reform republicans in South
Carolina would join hands and control
the State.'7 Edmund S Deas, a colored
leader, said he thanked God for demo
cratic dissension. He said "he could
not endorse all Braytou said about Gov
ernor, but he gave bim credit for caus
ing tbe split in the democratic party."
So it seems that the republicans all
over the Slate favor Tillman, and
Brayton and Deas have the manhood to
state the reasons they have for support
ing him.

There are some droll Irishmen in
Congressman O'Neill's district, accord
ing to the.stories he relates. An amus
ing one was told by the congressman at
the capitol not long since, says the
Washington Post. An old fellow who
had scraped together twenty-five or
thirty thousand dollars, wanted Lawyer
O'Neill to draw up his will. When
the document was apparently finished
the lawyer asked if there was anything
else he wanted put down.
"Oh, yes," said the Irishman
"Fifty dollars to be spent on the boys
when I am taken to the cemetery on the
day of my funeral."
Cavalry Cemetery, in which all the
Catholics of St. Louis are buried, is
several miles beyond the outskirts of
the city, and there are numerous road
houses at which "the boys" are in the
habit of stopping for drinks on their
way back from a funeral. Mr. O'Neill
said to bis client : "I presume you
want the fifty dollars spent on the way
back from Cavalry."
"Bejabers, no !" exclaimed the cli
ent. "Spiudit going out. I'll be wid
'em, then."
Generally the chap who talks loud
est about being bossed, is the one who
has some one's collar tightest about his
neck. With most of euch people
it is not so much a matter of follow
ing the bell sheep as it is which par
ticular member of the flock shall carry
it.
It is a truth in medicine that th?smallest
dose that performs the cure is the best. De
Witt's Little Early Risers are the smallest
pills, will perform the cure and are the best.
