EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICA
TION FOR VOTERS
At the recent November election
the voters of California gave a very
large majority vote in favor of an
educational qualification for voters.
The Grifflin News refering to thst
voU of California on that question
sa)*;
“Every day more clearly teaches
the necesity of a substantial educa
tional qualification for voting at
eleotions. Tho bitterness of race
conflicts in the South has ltd to its
adoption in a number of the south
ern states, but it i in the great aorth
where tho herds of ignorant voters
do nsost congregate. There is sot
a Migle attribute of justice in per
mitting a man to exercise the sov
ereign power of our citizenship who
cannot read the Constitution or the
laws of the oiuntry, or even the
ticket that he deposits in the ballot'
box, and the sooner the great states
of the north shall adopt an educa*
tional qualification of votsra the
sooner will our political system be
elevated to a much higher plane.
DON’T DO THAT.
In An interview with one of our
count? farifisrs a few days age, he
•tated to us that three months ago
or more when cotten was telling at
6 and 6 1 2-csnts, the planters of
hia community were decidedly in
clined to a further curtailment of
their cotton cropa and an enlarge
ment of their food and gram cropa,
out that since cotton had retched
the nine cents mark many of them
had changed their views and now
contemplate planting more largely
iu cotton.
The emphatic appeal we have to
make on this point is, don’t do
that! For the good of yourselves,
yonr neighbors and the country in
general don’t enlarge the produc
tion of cotton to the neglect of tl e
food crops. Such policy has al
ready impoverished the masses of
the southern states, and a continu
ance of such policy can but, and
will increase their poverty. Thia
truth is conceded l>y all. Then why
should the planters of the cotton
belt of the south, now, when arrang
ing for the same, plan their crops
so as to mere*?* their own poverty?
Don't neglect to plan for food crops
first, and then for all the eotten you
can cultivate, —Monroe Advertiser.

IN MEMORIAM.
To The Master , Wardens and Mem
bers of St. Johns' Lodge No. 45 F. A
A. M
We your committee appointed to draft
resolutions of respect and sorrow, touch
ing the death of our late brother, Colonel
E. P. Catchings, who depatted life Jan.
14th 1893, beg to offer the following -
Colonel £. P- Catching* came to our
Lodge in 1882. Since hi* affiilialion with
this Zodge, he has filled all of the ltnpor
taut stations with great credit to his ma
sonic ability, and to the pleasure and ed
ification of the craft. His masomp life
was exemplary, ia that he lived and prac
tised the tenets of our beloved institution,
teaching by his upright walk, his genial
and pleasant disposition, his love for his
fellowman, his unselfish charity, and mor
al influence, those lessons of life which
will enable us, like him, to pass over the
river with a secure and steadfast belief in
the ever living principles of Eternal hap
pines*. He met the shaft of death with
unwavering courage, which makes us re
joice that in his departure there is another
living stone placed in the mansion above.
We will ever cherish his memory* We
will mourn his loss to us and to the order
of masonry.
Aesolved therefore, That we place the
foregoing, as our sentementa, upon the
minutes of this Lodge, and inscribe a page
thereon to his undying memory, in recog
nition of the good he did by his wise
counsels and his devotion to this order.
2 hat we publish these resolutions and
furnish a copy of the same to his mother,
she being the only surviving member of
his immediate family.
Respectfully submitted,

He Revoked.
They were playing a game of
cards,' although they were just
engaged, and he was miserably
jealous of his opponent, on whom
Babel was innocently smiling.
She lead a diamond, he blindly
followed with a heart.
“ Take back the heart that thou
gavest,” she said coquettishlv.
“ Do you mean it?" he said with
fatal insistanqe.
“ Certainly I do,” she responded.
“ You know, Tom, you revoked?”
“I have suspected it all the
evening,” he exclaimed, inco
herently, as he rushed from the
room and from the house.
And just because he revoked in
a simple game of cards, he was
obliged to propose twice to the
tame girl.—Detroit Free Press.
Affected the Same Way.
They were sitting in the conven

broke the silence with a low
chuckle.
“ What is it?” she asked.
“Nothing much. I was think
ing about a story I heard in New
York. They say that when Kyrle
Bellew and Mrs. Potter kiss each
other the gold filling in their teeth
melts and runs out”
There was a long silence and
. then she giggled.
“ What is it?” he asked.
“ Nothing much. I was only
thinking that I must go to the
dentist next Monday.”

There are four distinct stages iu the
life of a human being We ac going
to write uxt week on the first stage;
the week following on the second stage
next on the third and lastly on the
fourth or finishing stage of develop
ment. All teachers are directly inter
ested iu this matter, and all others, as
to t hat, who know that a child’s mind
is a germ irora whi-h all good and
evil originate, aud when fullv devel
oped stand* out in the world for good
or evil. A teacher who cannot locate
a child by a diagnosis of the mind is
as unfit for his profession as a physi
cian would be who would say the fe
mur was broken, but the other bone
w r a§ alright. Seme one may say we
can't learn anything from you. Well
perhaps not, if not i! 13 your o r v’t\ fault.
A wise man ran learn even of a fool,
but you can’t reverse the sentence and
tell the, truth. We do not intend to
dephrt from the most apptoved clas.A
fleation of these stages, and we are
not writing them to show our knowl
edge of the subject but to cause the
teachers to think and study their pro
fessions. We say without fear of
successful contradiction that there has
been tie more progress in any depart
ment of life iu the last decade t han in
teaching school. When a teacher
says: “George if you don’t give me
your attention I will keep you alter
school/’ he gets au unwilling ear.
This is not iu the incentives to mind
action In the improved methods. We
will admit without you taking the ex
ception that teaching is a practical
fact, a reality and not a theory, but
so i* farming. We can do as much
plowing as John Barkley, but we cau
not make as much cotton. He knows
where, when and how to work, while
we only know how.
As stated abov* next week we will
1 try the first stage, try to locate it and
give onr experience, both by practice
aud observation. If some teachers
know better let him or her say so
through this department of this pa
per. The correction will be greatly
appreciated.
We have tour subjects ahead of us
First.—Perceptive faculties cf the
mind. Second—conceptive faculties
Third —Abstractive or knowing tac'
ulties. Fourth— Reasoning faculties
PRICES GUARANTEED.
