J. LOVE’S DEAREST MOMENT. Lovo’a dearest moment is not whon the hands Are clasped in marriage and the world looka on, Noryot whon all this importunate world has gone. And flaming passion like the Archangel stands Between two Boula and welds with flro the bandB Of impotent human law, nor whon alono Upon the morrow, they end love are one. Triune and chrlsmed pure, os God’s commands; It is not in the many morrow’s track While love by loving grows more rich and wise, Till age counts up love’s wondrous, wondrous sum. Love’s dearest moment is far back, far back— When first they looked within each other s eyes And In the silence knew that love was come. 14 1-2 'Greenville et., Ooer V. C. Olouer Co.

There is a price of war that is more important, more dreadful, more unjust, and that takes far longer to pay than any other, and it is a price also that has to be paid in the only real wealth, which ie life. The mere question as to who wins the war has nothing to do with it. The question who was right or wrong, who began it, who gained or lost territory, who paid tribute to whom when peace was declared, how taxes rose and fell, which industries prospered or which decayed—all these questions are negligible when compared with the longest price of war, which all fighting nations have paid and must pay. All the prices of war fall most heav ily uponthe future. Great Britain still pays heavy taxes every year for the Boer War and other wars of the past, right and wrong, glorious and inglo rious. But the longest price of war is wholly paid by future generations, and hurts the future only. The people who live in the years to come get none of the glory for which rulers now wage war; -they are at the mercy of the past which did not consult them, but which makes them pay. There is a fact of life called heredity, which plays a dreadful part in deter mining the longest price of war. Ac cording to the laws of heredity we are all largely dependent upon what our ancestors were for what we can be; consequently, the future of any race depends upon the quality of those who become its fathers and mothers. That is true not only of human beings, but of all living things. Some have found in this theory an argument for war. They maintain since life advances by struggle and sur vival, strong nations must crush weak ones if the future of mankind is to be strong. None of the champions of war who declare that peace corrodes and ruins nations have thought about the matter deeply enough to learn that the argu ment they quote is the most fatal to their own horrible creed. For the truth is, that war brings about “re versed selection”—in which the best are chosen to be killed, and the worst are preserved to become the fathers of the future. Rome and France furniBh illustrations of this awful truth. The greatest em pire of the ancient world was Rome. When she had conquered all her ene mies she fell. Ever since then think ers and historians have sought the rea son. To-day there are many who be lieve that it has been found. Rome was always fighting. She had far and wide frontiers, which must ever be de fended. The defense needed the beet men she had, and got them. A great German historian. Prof. Seek, says that in Rome, out of every hundred thou sand strong men, eighty thousand were slain, and that out of every hundred thousand weaklings ninety to ninety- five thousand were left to survive. The Roman Empire perished for want of meo, says the great English histori an, Sir John Seely; and when the living foundations of empire , thus decayed, all the. r’eBt came down with a crash. The-descendants of the vigorons race that'had '«jiiq'fi«red‘ thq jtnpjyn worl<I apeqt-Aheir time shouting for bread and games.’'‘The laws of heredity were not at fault; the vigorous, in fact, bad died, and it was the rejected, those un fit to be Roman soldiers, that stayed at home and became the Roman fathers of a nation whose course was run. It is not until the storm comes that we find out the real timaer of the ship. With Poorer Resources, New England Has Beaten Us. Tho Prosresolvo Fnrmor. Because Massachusetts has been a leader in education, a pre-eminent lead er in thrift, and has set the world an example in local self-government; be cause of these three things she has be come and has long been rich and power ful, as I have said, without even natu ral advantages. There was boastful ness shout it that I didn’t like, but I had to acknowledge in my heart that he was telling tho Lord’s truth—in the main—when a prominent New Eng lander said to me; "In natural re sources the South has us beaten utterly beyond comparison—Infinitely richer in soilB, climate, mines, and general re sources—but our section has beaten yours simply by the thrift and enter prise of our people.’’ ! Of course, the protective tariff has helped commercial New England at the expense of the agricultural South, and New England was fortunately free from the ravages of war that so long handicapped our Southern country, but in spite of these things our greater natural resources ought to have en abled us to beat New England anyhow. But we haven’t. In fact, instead of beating her, we have hardly more than half caught up with her. The new United States Government census vol umes on "Wealth, Debt and Taxation” remind me that the per capita wealth in Massachusetts ie $1,806, whereas in North Carolina it is $794; in South Carolina, $869; in Georgia, $883; Ala bama, $964; Mississippi, $726; and Ten nessee, $864. Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas make a better showing than the States mentioned, though Oklahoma alone among the Southern StateB reaches the Massachu setts figure for per capita wealth.

At all Dealers. Undoubtedly home-ownership for all is the ideal, but we recognize that the ideal can never be wholly attained in this imperfect world. There are al ways going to be plenty of young men who must work as tenants before they can become landowners, and there will always be many who will remain ten ants ail their lives. There iB no rea son, therefore, why the man who makes himBelf an expert in good farm ing methods cannot make money by getting good tenants and directing them into the most profitable lineB of farm work and farm management. What the South needs, therefore, is to be rid of this sort of landlord of the baser sort, who, giving no attention to the sort of farming hiB tenants do, giving no attention to the maintenance of soil fertility, is interested only in getting profits through an increase in the speculative value of land, or in the virtual robbery of tenants through extortionate prices charged them for supplies. — The Progressive Farmer.

"My boys hays recently been mak ing a pond for summer boating, bath- ing and fiBhlng,” said a subscriber to us the other day, "and I consider it a mighty good investment. Too many farmerd fail to sympathize with their boys’ desire for recreation, and then wonder why they do not like farm work.” Another farmer some time ago gave us this experience: "I give my boys Saturday afternoons off for baseball, and they work 38J per cent, better.”—The Progressive Farmer. The Wsxhaw Enterprise, after in vestigating the subject, has decided that farmers have about the same at titude toward reducing cotton acreage that the man in the story had toward reducing the Bize of his meals. His doctor bad advised him to eat less, so he went to his wife and said: “The doctor says that I mustn’t eat so much. So instead of cooking me twen ty biscuits in the morning, don’t make me but nineteen; but make them just a little bit bigger.”—The Progressive Farmer. There is a Real Difference Cream of tartar, derived from grapes, is used in Royal Baking Powder because it is the best and most healthful ingredient known for the purpose. Phosphate and alum, which are de rived from mineral sources, are used in some baking powders, instead of cream of tartar, because they are cheaper. If you have been induced to use baking powders made from alum or phosphate, use Royal Baking Powder instead.
