[•‘Forlorn my love no comfort near I
Far, far from thee I wander hero;
Far, far from thee, the fate severe—
At which I most repine love.”]
Repine not tho’ stern fate decroo
That yet awhile our paths divurlge,
“’Tis but a little while” and wo
Cau hopes of happiness indulge.
Tho’ near you not I still can cheer
And whisper soothing words to thee,
And sighing an earnest prayer
To bring thee safely home tome.
‘‘Far, far from tliec,” when kindred hearts
Too closely knit for time to sever,
An spirit miles of distance part,
And links the chain of love together.
Tho’ round tlioe scowls a winter sky,
, It ne’er can budding lmpe allay
For spring steals in with roguish eyo,
And languish tho biting frost away.
Ah, “shelter shade and homo” than host
In one warm heart that beats with thine,
What o’er eeasifto defaults be this the last,
“To be to thee but kind.”
Slowly but surely moments fleet,
And times high power fading wanes,
Years melt to months, wc yet shall meet
And love alone shall be our chains.

ed-Interview with Mr. John W. Dar'ra
cott on Taliaferro’s Condition.
Ouv interview last week with Judge’J.]
D. llammack on the condition of the poo
pie was favorably received. The opinions!
of men of dpep thought carry much
with them. The other day we subjected*
Mr. *4
john w. daiuiacott .
to the agony of an interview. Mr. Darrq*
colt smiled when wo told liirii wlmt ws!
wanted; but after a little persuasion
'Our part lie quietly submitted to the.i'unrj)
ing operation. . :
i 'Yj" a* fYrffgV
‘ Mr. Darracott, you read The Demo
chat last week, did you not? AVIiat do fyiw
think oftlie ideas advanced by Judge Ham
mack?”
“Wiry, they were sensible, as bis views
always are. 1 agree with him in every
particular. Tlie whole question can be
summed up in one word. Our people aro
involved, heavily involved. No one denies
that. I reduce the cause to one wold: Ex¬
travagance; I reduce tho remedy lo one,
Economy.”
“Then you tlijnk tlie two E.’s constitute
the whole tiling? Cause, extravagance;
remedy, economy?’ ’
“Precisely. Our people must realize
their condition. It ie not hopeless. Why,
I tell you, wo have tlie
FINEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
In the Spring we can raise wheat, barley,
oats- In the summer wo rest. Then
comes the fall with tho gathering of tlie
eotton ; the winter we can raise turnips
and such tilings. It is folly to tell me that
we should be subject to anyone. Our
farmers can easily make themselves the
MOST INDEPENDENT PEOPLE
this country. They have the other peo¬
at their mercy.”
“1 haye heard it said M r- Darracott, that
farmers in this section are absolutely
need of tlie necessaries of this life. Is
that true?”
“It may be. If it is who can they blame
but tbemselyes. Now, here is the idea. A
rmer can raise enough in the spring of
tlie year to last him the whole year. Why,
cau do this almost without any real hard
labor. After iiis wheat, rye, oats or barley
been planted all he has to do is sit
down and watch it grow. No labor is re
quired- We have land here a mwi can buy
for five or ten dollars an acre. Say ten
one acre ho can raise 80 bushels of
wheat. Wheat is worth about a dollar and
a quarter a bushel. That makes 840. Ili L
labor will not cost him over ?10, leaving I
him ?80 clear. So you see he has in one j
season paid for his land and has a surplus :
of v-2f>, and this without any labor on ids j
P art - ;
“Then yon have no fears, Mr. Darracott
that our people will eome out all right this’
year?” “Weil, I can’t that
say much. Tlie,truth
is we need more system in farming. Men
must work more. Not only must they
work, but understand what they are work
ing at. Another tiling is farms must of
necessity he self-sustainin ;. Not a dollar
must expectation he expended of unless receiving there is a reason
able an increased
return.”
“Then wliat vvould you advise our far
mers to do? You have studied the subject.
How are we to act?”
“It is simple. Other men have advised
the same tiling. Ja:t our farmers wake up.
.Let us work hard this year; let us do with
out everything In the fall we are not compelled to
have. we will have accum ula
ted something. We must not stop there;
we must j»eg away next year, and tlie next,
VY’e must work ltard and save.”
“We are obliged to you, Mr. Darracott,
for what you have told us. We are eonfi
dent The Democrat readers will appro
ciate it.’*
“You are welcome. I would be willing
to talk ali day, if I thought my advue
would do good. We have a grand country;
\V(‘ f’.tli he independent if wt* in s t
CG61 omy and hard work win mrike us

We submit these facts to our readers
