G«v« Him ths Chance.
President Lincoln took a quiet walk
In Washington one morning, in the
course of which lie met a well are
served tramp. The tramp did pot know
the president and asked him for the
loan of a dime to save him from irn
mediate starvation.
“You look like an ablebodied man,"
said the presidcut. “Why don’t you
jolu the army?"
“They won’t let me,” whined the
tramp. “I’d be glad enough to die for
my country, sir, if they would give me
the chance."
“Well, maybe 1 can be of Service,"
said Mr. Lincoln kindly. Taking an
envelope and pencil from his pocket,
he wrote a note and addressed it to
the officer in charge of th,e recruiting
station near by in Fifteenth street.
“Take that,” he said, passing it over,
"and give it to the officer at 714 Fif¬
teenth street. If he can’t do anything
for you come back here to me. I’m
just walking around.”
j ue uaiup tuow »*. «uvi
but he never came back; neither did he
go to the recruiting office. The note
rend:
Colonel Fielding—The bearer Is anxious
to go ,to the front and die for his country.
Can't you give him a chance?
A. LINCOLN.
The Jolly Roger.
The question why the pirate flag was
called the “jolly roger" was luvesti
gated twenty years or more ago and
not very satisfactorily determined. The
best opinion at that time centered upon
the use of roger as a common cant
equivalent of rogue. It seems, however,
-quite as likely that roger, for the black
ensign was known both as roger and
Jolly roger, Is a corruption of a name
yet earlier. The distinctive blazonry
of this flag has always been the mortu¬
ary trickery of death’s head and cross-
bones, familiar enough on ancient
tombstones. The older name of the
device was raw head and bloody
bones, tills being identified In use as
early as 1550 For the establishment
of this eXph» na tton we lack record of
the intervening stages, but the corrup¬
tion of raw bend Into roger is well
within the phonetic possibilities of see-
fa ring men.—New York Sun.

The Sovith is Ms^rch-
ing Forward and We
Need Every Man in
Line!
The Southern farmer is IT! No
Corn Belt farmer, Wheat Belt
farmer, Eastern farmer, Northern
farmer, or any other sort of farmer
on the continent, is making things
hum (pardon the slang for once;
we are indulging in a bit of jubi¬
lation) like Mr. Southern Farmer
is doing!
This is no idle assertion, no
mere bombast, but a cold —no, not
a cold, but a red-hot, burning,
statistical fact. It is based on the
figures just given out from Wash¬
ington, showing the crop values
by States for 1910, the total value
of the crops produced by the farm¬
ers in each Commonwealth last
year. These show that one South¬
ern State—Texas—has ‘‘cut down”
everybody else in the class and
stands head—and is going to keep
on standing head—and that every
other Southern State in The Pro¬
gressive Farmer territory has also
moved up right toward head, ex¬
cepting only Louisiana which is
going through the boll weevil set¬
back which will itself only pro¬
duce a healthy reaction in the end.
Let’s take the record one by one.
Texas, as we have said, put out
Illinois which in 1909 was first in
crop values; and unless we are
mistaken, Texas will be first on
the roll always hereafter.
South Carolina (three cheers for
our Palmetto readers!) which was
twenty-first in 1909, broke all
records by cutting down eight at
a clip, aDd is now thirteenth in
the clas».
Georgia, which was tenth in
crop values in 1909, climbed right
up to fourth place in 1910.
Alabama jumped six competi-
tive States and is now No. 14 in
the list. North Carolina jumped
four, and Mississippi and Arkansas
each climbed three points toward
head, North Carolina making
gain of 18 per ceDt in values,
Arkansas 11 , Mississippi 10. And
but for the boll weevil, Mississippi
would have done even better!
Virginia moved up two
and Tennessee one, and Florida,
while still forty-second on the roll,
scores a gain of 9 per cent in crop
values.
Let’s all give three cheers for
the Southern farmer and get to
work harder than ever.
As for the man who isn’t work-
ing and isn’t trying to farm better
than ever before, the man who
isn’t helping the South show the
rest of the world what we can do,
and what sort of stuff her sons are
made of—well, he is a skulker and
a shirker, worse than the man who
ran away from battle from ’61 to
’65, or else he just hasn’t been
waked up.
There are many yet to be arous-
ed and brought into the ranks of
those who are marching forward
to better things. The average
farmer made last year only 170
pounds of lint cotton to the acre,
He ought to do better than that,
he can do better, and he must—
for the sake of the South!
Go after this farmer who is
.standing still: get him to moving;
take him out to the Farmers’ Insti-
tute; interest him in the Farmer’s
Union, and most important of all,
get him to reading. Lend him
the bulletins, lend him any
ture you can, but in any case, get
him to reading a good farm paper
as well as his local paper.
The South is marching forward,
and we need every man in line.—

South Georgia Crops
Fine, Declares Hudson
Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—T. G.
Hudson, commissioner of agricul ¬
ture has returned from a trip of
several days to South Georgia, and
reports crop conditions excellent,
although rain is badly noeded just
now.
Colonel Hudson says the wheat
crop in that section is the best of
years. Cotton is not sufferi
much for the iack of rain
and the torrid weather of I I
three weeks is the kind th
plants thrive on.
But corn is beginning to!
lack of moisture, and the !
heat and unless rain conies 1
good deal of damage may
is The Department of Agrj
compiling a crop repor mai
which will probably be
lie tomorrow or
report will be based on
from practically every
the state made on request
department, It will
ures as to acreage in
and other crops,
and the general outlook.
Unless untoward cor
should prevail from now or
the opinion that the state w
a bumper yield agriculture
year. This is due to bette;
ods of farming “general
