SMITHY ILLE.

rains and the farmers are the bluest
of the blue. They have enough to
make them despondent; work has
been on a stand still for several days
and tho grass seemingly grows by
leaps and Jumps. The crops are eer
talnly Injured by the excessive down?
pour of rain. Terraces and dams are
broken, ditches tilled up and sand
beds now exist where cotton once
grew. The writers who seem to ihlnk
that all the farmer has to do is to
walk out and pick up money ought to

i mi this p ant I am going b> quote
ig in a very striking utterance of Pr.
fleo, T. Winston, formerly President
oi the University of Texas and of the
\. ,v M. College of North Carolina.
What he ways ? ughl to he memorised,
? i I for word, by every young
Southern man nnd woman:
"The necessity of labor and the
honorablcness of labor are I he Aral
lessons to be taiighl the youth of the
South. Our people as i winde, ean
not bain these lessons, because we
are .-till too c lose to slavery. We still
consider manu; I labor to be some?
what beneath a gentleman or a lady.
We waste our substance In the em?
ployment ot servants, apparently to
wait on them, usually they coat us
more time, money and trouble than
they render service. it is a matter
not of economy, but ?>f supposed gen?
tility, A little observation and eas)
cab ulation w ill demansrate that In
this State we spe nd for wages and
f.l and breakage and stealage of
unnecessary Bervants, money enough,
If saved annually for thirty years, to
purchase every acre of gorund In the
Stat?'. Our whole landed property
is eaten up by servants one time du?
ring each generation, it Is Impossible
to become wealthy under such con?
ditions."
It i< a common remark of people
wh.? have lived In both sections that
it takes three times as many servants
in the South as in the North, and in
many cases it amounts, as Dr. Win?
ston says, to our making ourselves
reverse. At the University of Wis?
consin, which I visited. 1 heard a
good story which strikingly illus?
trates my point. When Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain visited the
University last year he was a guest
of the President. Dr. Chas. It. Van
Hlse, one of the foremost educators
in America, and a man whose salary.
1 presume, is upwards of five thous?
and dollars. When Mr. Bryce went
to Led. he put his shoes outside the
door, thinking that tiny would be
blacked by a servant. The two beau?
tiful daughters of Dr. Van llise. see?
ing the situation, blacked the shoes
themselves, and Ambassador Bryce
never knew any bettt r until the story
leaked out by accident some month
later:
in Madison, i was the guest of an?
other man or distinction, who prob?
ably has an Income of $!,0n0 a year.
At supper his young daughter, about
fourteen years old, waited on the
table, and nobody even thought to
make an explanation of her making
herself useful in this way, instead of
depending on a servant, as a family
with one-fourth the income would
have tri- ?1 to do in the South.
Of course where a family does its
own work all the modern conven?
iences are used, and the kitchen in
the North and West would be a reve?
lation to most of our Southern
women. All the most up-to-date
cooking appliances are used, and the
kitchens are so small that nearly all
the utensils and appliances are within
reach as the woman stands at her
stove. Nor do the men expect hot
bread for every meal. If our women
in the South need to learn the lesson
of depending less on servants, our
men in the South need to learn the
lesson of providing better equipped
kitchens and dining rooms and all the
labor-saving conveniences that can be
had. And these are at least cheaper
than servants.?Progressive Farmer.
THE BOYS CORN CLUB.
Important Meeting ami Picnic to Be
Held at Wedgeleld, July 4th.
Editor of The Watchman and South?
ron :
At the last meeting of the Boys
Com Club, it was decided to have on
the 4th of July, a Boys Corn Club
basket picnic- in or about Wedgefleld.
The committee has decided to have it
in Wedgefleld. The schedules of the
trains are such that Wedgefleld can be
visited from almost any station in the
county, a goodly portion of the day
spent, and return on the same day.
The programme for the day will be an
address or addresses for probably an
hour, beginning about eleven o'clock.
Then a business meeting of the Club
will be had in the school building,
at whic h plans for gathering the corn
and awarding the prizes, will be dis?
cussed. In the afternoon there will be
:\ ball game, as the 4th of July would
not be complete for boys, unless they
should witness a real, exciting article
? f the American game.
This will be a very important meet?
ing at Wedgefleld, and every one of
the seventy-two members of the Club
s urged to attend with all of his rel?
atives and friends. Unless the rules
lor gathering the com as well as the
rules for cultivating it. are carried
out. the hoys who neglect them, can?
not expect to be admitted on equal
tt rms as competitors for the prizes.
Every precaution must be thrown
iround those who legitimately win the
prizes, so as to perpetuate the contest
in the future.
The prise sen a are looking well a*
this time; and, if the wel weather doi -
not continue to,, long . l look for
-'?me record-breaking yields in the
eounty. Boys are estimating their
yields now, all the way from one hun?
dred to three hundn I bushels pel

GOOD SEED FOR GOOD GROUND.
Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23.?June 19.
"Wherefore, putting awug all fllthinv** and overflowing of wickednet? receive with
meekness Hi, rngraftnl word, whivh i* able to sate four sosf*" It mot
1:21.?H. V.
aSI NC :i boat as a pulpit, our Lord taught a groat lesson respecting the
method used by the Almighty In the selection of the "little flock'*
Whom he invites to he members with Christ .Tesus in the administra?
tion of his Millennial Kingdom. The Kingdom message or invitation
Is the -seed" which is under consideration in the above parable, which, under
favorable <*?ndltious. germinates and brings forth the required fruitage of
character dovelopi tent. Our Lord was the great Sower of this good seed of
the Kingdom, and after him came the Apostles. Since then he has used all of
his faithful people more or less in this seed sowing.
The fact that most cd' the "seed" of the Divine message seems wasted is
no proof that the message is not good and desirable. This parable shows that
the real fault lies in the soil?in the heart. If all hearts were right the mes?
sage '?: s ?cd rould bring forth much fruit everywhere.
The i irabie state ; that not all of the soil is good or suitable: nevertheless,
the Intimation is thai it is within the power of many to correct and offset the
unfavorable conditions in themselves. We nie not left to conjecture, for this
is one of the few parables which our Lord himself Interpreted?a fact which
many seem not to nave noticed.
The "seed"' Is lb message of the Kingdom. Many do not understand it.
(hi such cars the message is lost, for the Adversary is on the alert to take it
nway. -a.- symbolized by the birds devouring the exposed "seed by the way?
side." Such ? v. a . V. ?*' hearers constitute the most numerous class in every
congregation of c . , uuitutl church. They are merely formalists.
"Stony" uro ::. . represent* another class of hearers of the Kingdom mes?
sage. To them i: n iinds good; they are interested, hut they lack depth of
rhara< t"!\ They make professions and for a time flourish extraordinarily, but
they lack the depth necessary to a character development suitable for the
Lord's use in the work of tin? Kingdom, and when the trials and testings
come they tumble. They thought they might be carried to the Kingdom on
"flowery beds of ease, while others fight to win the prize and hail througb
bloody seas." There is b ? rang road to the Kingdom. The Master declares
to nil w ho would he of the elect "Bride," "Through much tribulation shall ye
enter the Kingdom."
The ground which will produce thorns is rich, and very suitable for the
production of proper Christian character, but it is infested wit1, n seed,
and the soil c annot successfully produce both wheat and thorns; as the
parable shows, the thorns choko out the wheat, so that a sufficieu ? is not
produced. These thorns arc not, as some have suggested, sensual es and
criminal appetites. Hearts in which sensuality dominates have no < r what?
ever for the Kingdom message, and are not mentioned in the para . which
refers only to those who are no longer willing sinners, but who are ?valking
outwardly in the way of righteousness. The Master's word is. "He that re
celveth the seed among thorns is he that heareth the word, and the cares of
this world and the deceltfuluess of riches choke the word and he becometh un?
fruitful." There are many noble people represented also by this portion of
the parable. There are many who, if freed from the spirit of the world, from
its ambitions and wealth and influence, its love of the good things of this life,
would he very fruitful in righteousness. When we look about us and see the
thrift aud energy of many people of civilized lands, we say to ourselves, prop?
erly, if these lives were really turned into the way of the Lord aud were rid
of these earthly encumbrances, what grand, noble characters they would make.
However, their strength, their energy, is absorbed by worldly affairs and
cares, and they do not bring forth the fruitage demanded as the necessary
qualification for the higher honors of a place with Christ in bis Kingdom?
The Master's message to such is. You cannot give your time and strength and
influence to worldly matters and at the same time make your "calling and
election sure" to a place with me in my Kingdom. Whoever would be my dis?
ciple, let him take up his cross and follow me. Where I am there shall my
disciple be.
"Herein is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit," said our Master?
In this parable the good ground varies in its productiveness?thirty, sixty and
an hundred fold. The larger the returns, the greater will be the Father's pleas?
ure and the Savior's glory.' Nor is the statement an extreme oue, as some
might suppose. The new "miracle wheat" some times produces more than
two hundred grains from one. This parable seems to imply that the respon?
sibility for the fruitfulness of the heart sind life and character depends very
greatly upon the Individual and how he receives the message of the Kingdom..
Those in whom the fruits will be the most abundant will he such as grasp
the Invitation most Intelligently and earnestly. "He that heareth the word and
ynderttanti 'th it" and whn.a? heart is In a condition of loyalty to God and who
frees himself from hindrances and worldly ambitions and aspirations and,
like the Apostle Caul, can say. "This one thing \ do." will surely gaiu the
Kingdom.
It is not sufllc lent that we scar the virs.snae of the Kingdom: it is not suffi?
cient that v.- have f/KMi heart* or gwd intention* in respect to it: it is addi?
tionally noc ?>.-..!.. . as the Master says, that we should understand the Kingdom
message: h n ?? the need of Bible study. Intelligent people consider it very
wise and pi p v that several years < f study be devotcu to preparation for the
few years of earthly life. How mu h study, then, should be considered proper
for our pn*| .ration for the eternal life and Kingdom blessings? The time aud
effort thus consumed in character development for the Kingdom are wisely
spent, am' the harvest of thirty, sixty or a hundred fold illustrates the degree
and intensity of our earnestness. The rewards in the Kingdom will also be
proportionate. "As star dlfferetb from star in glory, so shall it he in the resur?
rection of the dead." Varying degrees of glory in the Kingdom will be mani?
fested, yet none will be acceptable to the Father who shall not have brought
forth fruitage in good measure. _ '
