Business and the Arts. Augusta Herald. In his widely-heralded book, “The Empire of Business,” Mr. Carnegie makes a number of em phatic assertions in regard to the superiority of a business career over other professions as a char acter developer. He is especially sweeping in regard to’the non-de sirability of an artistic career. “I have learned,”' he writes, “that the artistic career is more narrowing, and produces such pet ty jealousies, unbounded vanities, and spitefulness, as to furnish one with a great contrast to that which I have found in men of af fairs. Music, painting, sculpture, one would think, should prove most powerful in their beneficent effects upon those who. labor with them as their daily vocation. Ex perience, however, is against this. Perhaps because the work, or the performance, of artists is so high ly personal, so clearly seen, being brought directly before the. pub lic, that petty passions are stim ulated ; however that may be, I believe it will not be controverted that the artistic mind becomes prejudiced and narrow. But, urn derstand, I speak only of classes and of the general effect; every where we find exceptions which render the average still more ' un satisfactory.” It might not be out of place just here to ask what may be Mr Carnegie’s opinion in regard to the narrowing influence of money making, the demoralizing effect of each man striving to outstrip his neighbor in the great race for wealth, and the pitfalls for hon esty that lie in the path of the young business men who, all too frequently,have experiences which lead them to believe that financial success and the highest code of honor are incompatible. Growth of the Nation. The Unted States Bureau of Statistics has issued an abstract in which the growth of the nation in one century is shown. In 1800 the area of its territory comprised 827,844 square miles; in 1900, exclusive of Hawaii and Alaska, 8,025,600 square miles. In 1800 the imports were $91,000, 000 and the5exports,$71,000,000im- ports thus exceeding exports $20,- 000,000. In 1901, imports amount ed to $823,000,000 and exports to $1,487,000,000, or $664,000,000 in excess of imports. The imports in 1901 were thus nine times and the exports twenty-one times as great as those of i800. These fig ures tell in brief the marvelous territorial and commercial devel opment of the Republic in 100 years. What may be expected of it in another century. The late Cecil Rhodes not only was a bachelor, but fought very shy of the fair sex. Here is story which is told of him in this connection. While on a visit to London several years ago he din ed at the house of a very wealthy lady of title. Later, when he was discussing the affair with his Sec retary, the letter asked: “And whom did you take to dinner?’ “Oh, I don’t know. Some Lady Somebody,” was the reply. “But what did you call her?” “Didn’t call her anything—never spoke to her,” replied Rhodes, SMITH’S NERVE RESTORER This medicine is guaranteed to cure all cases of Nervous Prostration caused by overwork, It is a true Nerve Tonic and restores Nervous Vitality or Loss of Manhood.

Wil- lingham ^ has demonstrated that can ^feed cattle through the winter for one dollar a, month and keep them fat, without-the aid of canebrakes. He can keep them in stalls throughout the four months when the grass is not glowing, and the cost does not ex ceed one dollar each, whether he realizes anything from his milch cows or not, and without allowing anything for the fertilizer that he saves from them. At his farm near Marshallville he has fifteen cows. He winters them in this way: They are given access to a barn just as the mules and hordes are. He has a silo that holds q,.bout fifty tons of green food. He sup plies this Bilo from eight acres of forage corn planted in drills. The silo outfit, including the pit, the ensilage cutter, the car, etc , cost $175, and it is supposed to be good for twenty years or for an indefi nite length of time. The corn is cut from the eight acres as soon it is filled out. The ear is stripped and the stalk and fodder are chopped to pieces and rolled into the silo, which is made in the ground. It is about twenty-five feet deep, and itB sides are about fifteen feet in width. The bot tom is cemented and the sides are bricked and cemented. Above the ground a shelter is built, to shut out the rain. A rope run through a pulley and having a cotton bas ket at one end is used to haul the insilage out of the silo as it is waurad. When the silo is filled in August, or about fodder pulling time, a layer of dry stuff—fodder, bay or anything—is laid over the top of the pit, covering it about one foot deep. This is weighted securely, and it will keep the en silage in perfect order until it is wanted for fodder purposes. If the ensilage has been well packed while being placed in the silo it will be found in pei'fect condition even until the following spring when the last of it is removed. A uniform layer of the green food must be fed each day to prevent spoiling, and if it is found that the feed is not needed for a while, or if it is not all used during a season, the layer of dry forage can again be placed over the pile, and the whole tiling can be weight ed with scantling, big rocks, etc., and it will remain in a sotmd con dition almost indefinitely; at least until another season. This fifty tons furnishes feed not only for Mr. Willingham’s cows throughout the winter, but also for his' fifteen mules and one hundred hogs; but the mules and hogs have grain in addition. “Does the cattle thrive when fed entirely on the ensilage?” Enough dry hay is fed to mak« balance ration. Cotton seed meal and hulls would help, but they are expensive. A small quan tity of properly cured pea vines will complete the feed. Those neighbors who have in quired into Mr. Wilingham’s plan are preparing to do likewise. And it means that cattle raising will not be confined to any one sec tion of Georgia. OglethBrpe Echo, . . Never before parhaps in the his tory of this country has the mat ter of education and educational institutions been given as much thought, as they are being given just at present. Philanthropic people are devoting much of their time and contributing millions of their money to the cause while thinkers are devoting their brains to devolving the best means and plans to afford the masses educa tional opportunities that' can be taken advantage of ,by the great est number and that tend most to bring about the best and most permanent results. Heretofore higher institutions of learning have received the most of this attention and receiv ed most of the endowments. This was well perhaps as far as it went, but those who are interesting themselves in such matters are evidently coming to side with The Echo in views it has repeat edly expressed— that they were erecting a structure before a prop er foundation had been laid. They are therefore now turning their attention more to the estab lishment of common schools and in rural sections and improving those .already established in meth ods and in equipments for teach ing. This gives us renewed hope that the educational interests of the country are in a way to be largely extended and improved. The common schools of the land must be relied upon to. furnish the foundations to higher education and until these foundations are well laid we cannot expect the completed structures to be stable and lasting or to be of material benefit to those in whose heads they are built. We predict that these people who are taking such deep interest in educational matters will soon become convinced by actual re sults that they have begun at the right place to build the educa tional interests of the country and that we soon see the greater pare of their attentions and dona tions devoted to the common schools and in the rural sections. When these schools ..are brought up to that efficiency that they should be there will be no reason to fear that the higher institu tions of learning will be sufficient ly patronized. Lay the founda tion for finished educations in the heads of the youth of the land and they, or those of them who can be expected to profit thereby, will pub the finishing touches to the structure. But unless help is givenSjjthem to lay the foundation many a worthy and ambitious boy dr girl will be forced to grovel through life in comparative illiteracy. We are glad to see philanthopists turning their attention towards the fun damental schools. —i Hardware, f Harness, - Saddlery. ■a r iii Full line Agricultural Implements.

What if he be threescore and ten if there is still fire in his eye, firmness in his step, command in his voice and wisdom in his coun sel? He commands love and rev erence. Yet how few wear the mantle of age with dignity. Dim eyed, querulous of speech, halt ing in step, childish in mind, they “lag superfluous on the stage,” dragging out the fag end of life in a simple existence. The secret of a healthy old age is a healthy middle age. The man who takes care of his stomach, who keeps his body properly nour ished, will find that the body does not fail him in old age. The great value of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery lies in the preservation of the working pow er of the stomach and other or gans of digestion and nutrition. From this center is distributed the nourishment of the whole body, the salt for the blood, the lime for the bones, phosphates foy the brain' and nerves . A sound stomach means a sound man. A man who keeps his stomach sound by the use of “Golden Medical Discovery” will wear the crown of gray hairs as befits a monarch, with dignity and ease. ’ (EVERY BOD AMERICAN' ggNCi QUARANTEEP by the manufacturers, Oall and wee it.
