The ngent should give whatever time and thought are necessary to initiating and putting mi it linn liaaia such organizations us these, and it is to be hoped Hint we have reached the point in t’oweta county where we can make a success of them, as has been done in other counties of the Btnto It. M. Drake, (loiuily Agent. “CLASS" DISTINCTION. Bulloch County Nows. A friend of ours, living in another city, dropped into our oflice u few dnys ago on a matter of business. Discussion drifted to the subject of a nice home in which he hud recently moved, and there wna u tremor in his voice when he suid “it’s u mighty line homo, but I’ve got to sell it nml move. I thought it n moat delightful place, and the house is woll- nrrnngcd, with every comfort—but my family just won’t let me la* satisfied there—they don't like the 1 clnsa'. And when the ninn had gone out the words stimk to us, "They don't like tho class'." Wlmt of tho "clnasf" Who are the neighbors whose presence makes the community undesirable? Ami wc counted them ovor in our mind nnd anal yzed Uiom. As We snw them, they wore made of the same clay, horn nnd renrod in the same environment, mid subject to the snuie limitations nnd possibilities. They looked like the other family, lioro similar names, some were of the smne blood ovonj they noted alike, so far ns people generally know, attended tho some churches, the smile schools, breathed the slime nir nnd ate the same food. By whnt right did the dissatisfied ones hold themselves ns belonging to n higher class!” Was it through something they hnd accomplished more noble than tho common liordf Had nil the neigh bors failed to inensure up to their stand ard of good citizenship f Or wns the “eluss" purely of the mind nnd not of quality! Was it not, rather, u cuse of wiinting to associate out of ono's renl sphere, rather tiinn in It! Wasn’t it Imoro likely that the dissntisfled ones The dub work has always Ihm'U ciii- I were anxious to appear bettor tiinn they pluisizisl in the dciuoustTutiiiii progr.im.'know themselves to be! uhl Dr. Knapp, to whose wise foresight! And tho reflection cnino to us that it the conception of the ileiuoiistriitiun 1 is over thus in life. The ambition of work is due, used to instruct Ids agents human nature is to uppenr to excel rather never to pass u school-house without stopping, nml the emphasis has never been taken off, The rdiientinnal feature of club work has Im-oii so fully appreciate"! by the than to equal. The mother in the home, jealous tor the pride of her little .ones, warns them against associating with “those awful children around the cor ner." At the same moment, the other s'loud mitlinritics of tin" State that, in mother is giving the same wnrning to their requirements for a standard school, they include some regular agricultural • lull work. Ami this is with good rev son. The courses of our rural schools have been largely modeled upon those of the city schools, mol tend to lend the child nwny from the farm instead of preparing him for it. Tho club work, which docs its teaching by the intensely practical method of actually lining the thing to be learned—laboratory work of the Is'st kind— thereby vitalizes the school course mid relates it to the life which the child is to live. The progressive county of Wilkes went so far ns to require club work of all children of certain ages, just as it "lid the regular studies in the curriculum. In addition to the health development her own. Miss Prissy Body buys from the store n new coat suit, lint returns it in disduin when she tiuds that some less preten tions body has bought one of Hie same design, Bho vows she will not wear a thing su common. And the merchant flatters her with the offering of another suit slightly different, mid the assurance that Mrs. linsy Rich bought ouo just like this for her daughter. When Mrs. Easy Hieh finds out Miss Prissy Body has tried to get into her “class," her charm- tng daughter sells her garment to a col ored damsel, hut Miss Prissy Body is happy with the thought that she has moved n notch higher up in “ class. ” The affluent rich bought Hudsons, Btndobiikers, Bunks, Mitchells ami of the child, the club work has boon I Cadillacs, and the common herd hurst found to exercise grent influence in the 1 suspenders trying to keep puce with improvement of farming conditions in J them. Finally the rich ones cut nwny the community in which it is developed, from the Idg ears nnd bought cheaper In ninny counties it lias laid ii marked ] sedans, nnd the little sprouts went wild effect on the culture of the corn crop' the scramble to get in the same nnd the general yields obtained. To "class." cite ;iu example on a larger scale, the!

In nccordiluco with these principles the demonstration agent keeps Ids eyes open for outstanding examples of goad farming, and advertises them to other farmers till they spread over the com munity or county. And if tic docs not find examples sufficient in his county of improved practices which have been worked elsewhere, he tries to find some one who will put them in practice nml demonstrate them for him. These men who will co-operate with him for the lienellt of the community nre his deiiiou- strntors. Without their co-o|*cration lie can got nowhere. But lie does not in stitute his demonstrations with them pri marily for tlieir benefit, though they fro quently do benefit by this co-operation, but for the lieuetU of tin* community. Any fimner who is remly to co operate with Hie demonstration agent in this way will find him ready to use Ids help nml to give such service incidentally ns lie can. And 1 v do not think that nn agent often refuses ii request for personal service, even though educational demonstration, not personal service; is the object of his work. In the same way the demonstration agent will liest carry out the purpose of his appointment by deoling with groiqis of individuals rather than with single individuals. I localise in this wav he van tea,-h so many mote. If organized groups will agree on the demonstrations they wish made, and on where they want them plans), the work lwoollies nineli Is'tter systematized and more effective Thi* is the reason that tho l". B. Depart lueiit of Agriculture nc)cnincs the ad vent of the Farm Bureau and co-oper- .with it, for tho Farm Bureau is committed from it* inception to just thin service to the demonstration work. While the agent is ready to help indi viduals where he ran, his work will ac complish ^ most when' lie can secure the co-operatiou of an organized community, «ueh ns the Farm Bureau f uncil gives him. Without discounting the importance of soil Improvement and increased produc tion, for which the demonstration work baa so conspicuously stood, it may be w*M that the lines of demonstration ■work now requiring especial attention. and keeps in smelling distance if possi ble. About the time he has lost the smell nnd "Inst, he heaves in sight of a mule and buggy, und lie breathes a sigh of gratification at being able to pass some body. They all came from the same place, ami alt arc going to the same place, and one will be no better than the other when he gets there. What's the good, then, of nil this “class" craze? Why turn a disdainful nose toward the sojourner in life who happens to bo less favored than you? Would it hurt you to lend a helping hand to the neighbor who is struggling to rise? Does it really mill to your merit Hint someone else may have fallen in lines that were harder thun yours to bear f And who are one's neighbors? Are tliey the well-to-do who hold themselves above him, mol neither ask nor extend help; or nre they those who, like the man who ministered to the fellow on the road to Jericho, came to your relief when you were in distress! " At last when boiled down it becomes an individual matter. The individual farmer, who refuses to grow- cotton this time only as n surplus crop, is a sure winner. If all others follow the same course lie will reap a fancy price for what lie does grow, whereas if only n few follow that course, and a large crop is the result, lie will still In' on the win ning side, as he will not have, incurred the cxih’usc of a full crop, his loss on his surplus will ho small ami lie will have plenty to live on and some to spare. The same reasoning applies to counties and States as well. If Lee county grows only the cottou it can grow after a full crop of other things, it will 1h> a prosperous county, and n sure winner in either event. It, too, will have plenty to go oil. and share iu the high prices that will obtain if oil the counties curtail, whereas its losses will lie light if nil the other conn- til's grow large crops. Better play safe. —Opelika (Ala.) News. - I o—— I.OVF.LY WOMAN AT THE BANK. Buffalo l.’ourier. | A gentle, lovely woman entered a Mnin street bank yesterday. She wanted, n check cashed, so she went to {lie receiv ing teller’s window nnd thrust the check ill. The teller shoved it back. “Next winder," lie said. "Next winter! 1 can’t wait till next winter," exclnimcd the lady. “1 said next winder," shouted the teller, “winder, winder; ’tothcr win der. ’ ’ “Oh, von, but this is the receiving win dow. isn't it! ” “Yes, but you can’t get any money here. ’' “But i'm going to receive it, ain’t I?" “Not here you ain’t; go to thq other winder, Indy; he’ll fix you." The lady was still uncertain, but she •went to the other "winder" nml shovel in her check. The polite official thrust it back. "It’s not indorsed, madam," suid he. “Not endorsed? Whnt lines that mean 1” “Is your mime Tuclpjrl" “P’raps it is and p’raps it isn't. Wlmt business is thnt of yours?" "Is this your name on tho face of this check !'' "Yes. it is." “Well, you’ve got to indorse it.’’. ‘‘That’s whnt you suid before. What do you mean .’'' “You must write your name across the back of it." “But my mime’s on it already." “On the front. That ain’t enough; it must be written across Hie bock." “Oil, well, gi’mc it." She took nml carefully wrote her iinme upside down across the bottom of the check, and hand ed it in. "You indorsed -it wrong, nindam.’’ "How'd 1 know how you wanted it? Why didn’t you tell me?" ‘ ‘ I thought I did. Here, write it ncros* the top, so, ’ ’ nnd the teller plain ly showed her, nnd with much grumbling slie complied. The teller thereupon cash ed tier check with two silver dollars. - "I ain’t going to take those," she said. "Oi'mo bills.’’ Tho teller sighed and gave her two ono-dollnr bills, whereupon she picked up her parasol and departed in a huff. MILLIONS AND MORALITY. Almost ns regularly ns clock-work wo read in the daily press where some mil lionaire 'is suing his wife for divorce, or is being sited himself, or both. Ooncraliy there follows u mass of moral filth that is amazing unit almost beyond tielief. Like dirty linen, it nil comes out in the wash, but unlike the linen, the principals enn linrdly lay claims to purity ns n result of their legal bath. This is a queer world. As long as we are poor we nro able-to live comparatively decent lives. But let great wealth come our way nnd we imme diately begin to yearn for tho vices and,, frivoltles it will buy. It would bo far better for the huinuii nice if we were to forego n majority of the "pleasures” of wealth and retain the respectability that is inherent in mankind in the dnys of his poverty.
