Editor;—The “Small.Farmer” in a late issue of the Home Journal should be commented upon to some extent. I will admit that the large land owners prefer negro tenants, but why? In many instances the white ten ant has not the necessary labor to cultivate and gather his crops, and negroes don’t care to work with a renter. So the landlord is practi cally compelled to rent to the negro, or hire him. The question might be asked, “Why don’t he hire a white man?” Well, if he does, and says to him, “Go cut and split rails to-day,” the employe will quickly say, “I will quit before I do that.” If the landlord says, “Scatter barnyard manure,” what is the re ply? “I will quit before I do that.” If the landlord says, “Oatoh my horse and hitch him to the buggy,” will he do that? No. Well, if this man owns his farm, what about those things, then? Agriculture is the foundation of life’s subsistence, and let all take hold. The above does not apply to all young men, but it does to some. I know of what I Bpeak. Every young man can’t buy land. I often see land advertised for sale, many times in small quantities. The writer heard a gentleman who has 60 acres of land for sale, say to a young man not long ago, “Don’t you want to buy my land?” The re ply was, “Oh.Jif IJbuy, it would be to speculate on, and I could not pay you much for it. I expect to go in business very soon.” That means going to a town or city. It is often said that a man must be highly educated to make a suc cessful farmer, but that is not abso lutely necessary. Education is good, very good, but some of the greatest orimes are committed by educated men and women. It is said the article written to the Journal by the one-horse farm er of Toy, was the work of a crank or idiot. If the writer can see well, such a crank can fit any windlass. This crank is 41 years old and never went to school but six weeks in all his life, and only a few years back he could not write his name. But if he be a crank, he is one whom God knows. Toy, Ga. Farmer. A Tridute. Mr. Mary M. Ragin, daughter of John R. King and wife of A. H. Ragin, deceased, born in Sumpter county, South Carolina, October 6th, 1827, departed this life July 29 th, 1902, at her residence in Perry. She gave her life early to God; was happily converted at a Perry camp-meeting nearly fifty years ago. She was ear[y left a widow with three children, whom she brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. ’Twas ever her custom to take them into her room at evening twilight and, after sweet counsel, to give them in prayer to God. Bro. E. K. Ragin of Hakinsville, Mrs. M. A. Edwards and Miss Mitt Ragin of Perry, are the children striving to follow Christ as their sainted moth er taught them. For some time she had suffered with heart disease. Being asked, if she should die suddenly, was she ready? she replied; “All these years I have been getting ready, and am willing to go when the Master calls me.” And thus she left us, without a tear or a sigh, or a good-bye. The angels came and took her to glory; that long, useful and hap py life ended in triumph. May we love Christ and the church as she did, that our last days * may be like hers. Pastor. A’ gentleman who has just retum- from a trip through Florida says the orange crop will be 400,000 boxes short this year. The shortage is due to the drought. The fruit be gan falling from the trees when it was the size of a hickory nut, and the leaves shriveled up. While this crop will be short, this year has been the greatest on record for the farmers, he said. The vegetable crop has been a tremendous one and the farmers have made money. Macon Telegraph.
