Buck to (he Farms.
One of tho dud inot features of
<he age is the tendency to return
to ap iculture. Where a few years
ago (lie farmer hoys were rushing
to the cities to crowd tho profes¬
sions, there is now a decided move
in the other direction. The natur¬
al reaction that must always fol¬
low a movement ns radical in
some measure accounts for the
disposition to return to the soil
fur a livelihood, but there is more.
The agriculturist lias become a
a professional man. The college
nod tho university have added a
fpe.'iul course for his benefit, and
gives him a ch groe. He is a botan¬
ist and a chemist, and science has
taught him to take the j ideil and
wur mat farm, and with intelli¬
gence cause it to blossom like tlm
rose.
The dispiriting labor which ben!
the forms of th© elders and sent
tlm lads scurrying cityward has
bean lightened by devices that
better accomplish the ends sought.
The long hours are shortened
and the farmer find© lima to in¬
dulge in tlio enjoyment of life
This new conditi m, added to the
fascination of independence, lias
turned many men from other pro¬
fessions toward the country, car¬
rying with them tho mannorinus
of their class until tho extermina¬
tion of the chili whisker is threat¬
ened by III© I’rince Albert coat.—

“Homing Round”
The negro question us n nation¬
al problem is rapidly simmering
down. The North is rubbing its
eyes and showing a disposition D
* mfesB that Hh “absent treat-
meat” of tho Southern race ques¬
tion is unjust and worth less.
Within til© Just decadu a grunt
mnjy negroes luvo drifted from
tho southern into the northern
states, and on tin whole the
North has boon tho sufferer hy tho
process. Tho class of blacks who
leave this section to make their
homo on ehe other side of Mason
ami Dixon’s lino are, aa a rule,
such as wo can see depart without,
expressing the smallest regret.
The southern who are
workers and who ondouvor to im*
prove their general condition are
a contented class, and they are
not leaving the congenial sur¬
roundings in tho creation of w hich
they have played so important a
part.
Tlio negroes “up north” have
but recently begun to “feel their
oats" to an extent calculated to
reveal to tho j/eoplo among whom
they live something of their real
character. “Tho usual crime"
suddenly become almost as com*
moo in Pennsylvania and Nmv
Jersey as it has.long been in
Lama and Georgia, and wo now
behold the iuterosting spectacle
of jiortliorn journals advocating
measures in dealing with rapists
which, only a few years ago, they
unsparingly condemned when
nloyed in tho South.
One very happy result of these
changing conditions is an already
acknowledgsd willingness cm the
part of tlw North to letthe South
take care of its owu race problem.
This is a significant ® concession
-4nd we are Const mined to remark
that tho other section would find
profit in paying strict attention
to the methods the South employs ■,
jii dealing - wtlli . the . negro prob-, j
lent and shaping its own course
accordingly. The two races live
together in better harmony m the
C>otith thun the North can hope to,
experience in a quarter of a cen¬
tury.—Albany Herald.
Eveiyone, says an exchange,
»vtll sympathize with the
termer w ho complains of his grow¬
ing crop thus: “The moles
ruu under it, the Loll weevils
have run through it, and the
d dates I ave run over it, till it is
a completg failure.”
Jurj Duly.
It is Itccoming more and more
the custom fora man to dodge his
duty t O H( rvh on tin* jury us it in
possible for him to do t-n, guys the
Macon News. Tim majority of
lawyers encourage the responsible,
thinking man to “getout of it”;
is the ignorant juryman in more
■nisily sway'd by their eloquence
and cannot "sea so well through
the weakn ■88 f if their logic. There
is doubt in the minds of many if
the present , • ■ quite
jury s\stem , is
tho wisest method possible in the
process of ohtuining justice, hut
80 j long as it is the only available
method, it should bo used to tin-
bent advantage, A man should be
tried belum “his peers” at an\
rate—if the jurors are superior to
him, so much the hotter.
The Birmingham News vert
wisely says, remarking upon th,
subj"ct of jury duty :
“Many a man who imagines In
is a good citizen endeavors to es-
capo jury duty. By his evasion ol
his obligation of society he in re
nlity becomes un ally of the crim¬
inal classes. It, is idle to complain
of the i.on enforcement of tho lav
if the jury box is to he turned
«v«r l» tli« professional jurors or
to ignorant or easily influenced
iron.
“It is often a hnrosliip to serv<
on the jury. It takes one away
from business and home. It in¬
volves long hours of deliberation.
In many respects it is uncomfort¬
able anil unpleasant; therefor*
tho habit has grown tip among a
very respect able class to escape
jury duly by one pretext or anoth¬
er. Society pays tho penalty.
“There cannot bo enforcement
of the law until decent men nwnln
to the necessity of discharging
their obligation to serve on the
jury. It would lie a most excel¬
lent idea to form a civic society
with just two ubligutn.ns. Tin-
first should lie that every meinboi
would pledge himself fo vote on
election day, and tho second
would bo a promise never to evadi
service on the jury. Thorn would
he a world of potentiality in such
an organization, >)
