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.

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? Subscriber. Sillicus—l never send a man on a fool’s errand.

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.
