While the newspapers all over
this country are agitating the idea
of trading at home, it will not be
amiss for them to express their
“innard” thoughts of the mer
chants. the professional and the
business men all over this broad
land of ours who are violating the
good old trade at home idea The
United States is wealthy, and owns
the largest printing plant in the
world, and controls other private
printing houses throughout the
country. And the United States
has entered into competition with
thv home printer on a basis he can
not begin to compete with. The
United States print shop prints re
turn cards on envelopes free of
cost. All vou have to do is to or
der them through your postmaster,
and dear Uncle Sammy delivers
them at your post office free of
charge for the cost of stamped en
velopes, And dear old Sammy
goes out of the way to get these
profitless jobs. lie sends thous
ands of dollars worth of advertis
ing matter, asking for work at a
pripe that would starve the home
printer—nay, the home printer
cannot buy the blank envelopes
anywhere near the price Uncle
Sam wants to supply them at.
Printing envelopes is a part of ev
ery home printing office’s legiti -
mate business, and no one should
send away to Washington to get
this work done because it is cheap.
You don't like to see your custom
ers sending away to Shears Shaw
buck for goods because they are
cheap, but some of you yourselves
don’t mind getting envelopes that
way. Practice what you preach
and let the money stay at home.
Henceforth if you want to see if
the firm you have in mind is cheap
notice h:s envelopes. If they are
government printed, you can mark
that nouse down as a mail order

The parents who rear their sons
in idleness are doing them an un
speakable harm.- Every boy is en
titled to know by actual experience
what hard manual labor means, and
to get the blessing that comes from
toughened muscles and a tanned
skin.
The boy wno takes his hat off
when he enters the house is the one
who usually has his hair combed
and his face clean, and the girl
who says “please,“and “thank
you.” is always prettier than the
one who forgets these little things.
You just look around and see if
this is not true.

What Is This.
Mr. Editor:
Dear Sir: —I ask for space to
open afield of thought to our peo
ple of Cumming and Forsy ty Cos.
And ask that the matter be dis
cussed by the fireside between hus
band and wi f e on the streets be
tween farmers and merchants, in
the business houses between the
salesmau and customers.
You have no doubt seen a lot
about the roads, good roads, and
better roads, but to my mind there
is a far more important question
before the people of Cumming
than the good roads.
We as a people of Cumming
Public School district, voted a lo
cal tax to maintain ®ur public
’schools, in this district. We have
two such schools, one for white
children and one for colored chil
dren. The number of white chil
dren in the district are abont equal
ly divided half living in the coun
try, the other half in town.
As most everybody knows those
living in the country, are children
of farmers, who are compelled to
take their children out of school in
the spring and put them in the
field to help make a support, con
sequently they are deprived of the
full benefit of Public School, unless
it could be arranged so as to have
a school during July, August and
September, the leisure months for
the farmers child. Someone will
say it is too hot for school in those
months, I want to say here it Is
not too hot for that child to work,
to make cotton to pay off the mort
gage that is against its fathers crop,
and it is not too hot to go to school.
All the schooling I ever had was
in the summer months, and I’m
sorry to say I need more summer
months myself.
Here is the spectable in Cum
ming, About 8 o’clock, a. m each
day except Saturdays and Sundays,
you see the colored children of
Cumming school district with
their dinner baskets and books go
ing to the public school, supported
by local taxation, while the white
children are playing marbles on
the streets because they have no
school.
Men, women and children think !
there is a disfranchise law to be en
forced. You would hate to know
that your boy was ineligible to vote
because he did not have the oppor
tunity to go to school.
While the negro boy who lived
in *the same town that yours did,
could vote. What is the matter?

Invading The South.
FROM COLLIER’S WEEKLY.
A party of Italians, among them.
Lugi Solari president of the Italian
Chamber of Commerce of New
York, and Felice Ferrero, a brother
of the Italian sociologist and his
torian. left New York for North
Carolina July 2in quest of farm
ing land. They representinh not
the advance guard, but the leaders,
of the first reserves in anew im
migration invasion of the South.
Heretofore the tide of immigrafion
has swept westward from the
great ports of entry.
The Southern experimental col
onies have already been planted.
It is on their success that the fu
ture of the enterprises depend.
The Italian party went to look over
a group of Italians located at St.
Helena, just out from Wilmington.
There they were met by a brass
band of their countrymen who are
making themselves into farmers
instead of the more familiar New
York ‘ - way.”
Two days before the inspecting
party started on its work, three
humble Hollanders went by day
coach over the same route, to end
up at Castle Ilaynes Colony, on a
farm donated for their use this
summer by Hugh Mcßae, ont of
the financial bankers of the colon
izing scheme. Their purpose iu
making the long journey from Hol
land is to see if they can put Irish
potatoes and lettuce onto the New
York market from their farm in
ninety days. They get as a starter
a mule, a shanty, seeds, fertilizer,
and implements, and have a twen
ty-acre place to work with.
The experfmentatiou is by n<F
means confined to the Dutch aud
Italians Hungarians are already es
tablished in some strength at Cas—
be Haynes, Poles at Marathon,
Germans at Newberlin, and Hol
landers and Poles at Artesia —all
these places near Wilmington, and
in easy reach of th* market. The
advance guard of foreign imrnigra
tion started for the South in 1905.
Before winter the first line of the
reserves should be on the ground,
Supplement what the children
learn at school with reading lessons
at home Reading aloud is good,
will improve the reading of the
reader, and give information to
members of the home circle who
may be obliged to work with their
hands in the evening.
Young people should remember
’hat you cannot trust a man simply
because voa see the golden rule
pinned on the front of his hat.
