THEPAST
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
A Little of Everything And Not Much of Anything.
- By HUGH ROWE
LOST IN THE WOODS.
Were you ever lost in the woods ? It’s a frightful experience.
And the party who gets lost generally is the victim of his own
carelessness. The wise man does not venture into a forest unless
sure he can find his way out. It is rarely a woodsman or trapper
or lumberjack who leaves his bones in the forest. Generally the
victim is some one who explores a labyrinth of trees of which he
ia ignorant and inhere he usually has no business.
From the man lost in the woods, we can loam many things:
First: It is unwise to stake 'everything on exploring a forest
with which we are not familiar—especially by investing in propo
sitions “outside our own line" and in industries of which wc are
ignorant.
Second: In investing cr in trying new enterprises, go slowly,
keeping the edge of the forest in sight until familiarity justifies
a gradual penetration toward the interior. Previous generations
put it in this form: “Don’t carry all your eggs in one basket."
Third: The most terrible forest that any one can get into is
debt. Debt, like a dense woods—harder to get out of than into.
Fourth: Humanity does not yet know its ultimate goal. It is
like thp man lost in the forest, fighting to find a way out of trou
bles, occasionally having fits of hysteria. The trees are ignor
ance, fear, dishonesty, vicicus motives and failure to co-operate.
'Girls ain’t the same as the girls
I knew." ,
The dowager says, and sighs.
'Those old-time maidens would
never do
A thing that would cause sur
prise."
But she failed to recall. In a large
degree.
Some things which she saw oc
cur—
Girls ain’t the same as they used
to be,
And thoy never were!
“Men ain't the same as the men
of old,"
The old man said, with a scowl.
But he didn’t know that the cave
man bold,
Had put up a similar howl.
And they both Were right In their
sad decree.
To which we can stilt demur.
With, "Men ain't at all .vhat they
used to be,"
And they never were!"
THE CITY OF GREENVILLE w
Greenville, South Carolina, is one of th# livest cities in this
section. Tho outstanding evidence of its being a nrogres-'""
ia the interest it has demonstrated in good roads. Greenvilld
county was the first county in South Carolina to adopt a Ooiiu
issue creating a system of improved highways throughout the
county.
But Greenville is not only progressive in this respect herself,
but she wishes to do all in her power to encourage others to be
progressive, because she knows the benefits to be derived from
progressive, because she knows the benefits to be derived from
good rbad3. Sh has but to lock across the line into South Carolina
to see the transformation that they have wrought in that state.
In fact, Greenville, city and county, aro so prospefous that thoy
seem a part of North Carolina.
Tho United States Good Roads Associaticn ar.d the Bank-
head Highway Assolcation will meet in Greenville April 16th to
2tat, and in connection there will be an exhibition by the Good
Roads Show. Good roads enthusiasts will be there from all parts
of the country. It seems to be the case that these interesting
good roads events would .do more good if they were pulled' off in
the most densely reactionary city to be found, but the fact that
this is not dong may be taken as an evidence th?t there is no
such, and that they all want good reads. At any rate, the pro
gressive towns get the plums, and it never rains but what it
pours.
THE ASHBURN CREAMERY
The Ashbum Creamery, started a few months ago is said to
have grown to be tho largest in the south, Ite output for the
month of December was more than 60,000 pounds qf high- grade
butter. And butter ia a product that there is a steady demand for,
and always a good profit. There is no cause for fear that the but
ty industry will be overdone and the butter market glutted. On
January 1st there was a shortage of 30,000,000 pounds of butter
in the United States. Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois
are the big milk and butter producing states and they are pros
pering B t the expense of the other states who buy their produc
tion. Georgia is one of the states that takes their products. She
buys com and meat from the middle west and butter and milk
products from the states of the northwest. In order to do this
she must sacrifice tho little cotton the boll weevil allows to mature
and borrow money cn mortgaged farms from northern companies.
t One firm ordered 6,600,000 pounds of butter from New Zea
land paying in round figures $2,300,000 for It, freight and insur
ance included. This shows that the demand for butter is not
1 nearly supplied by the native product. We must recognize the
presence of the boll weevil in a practical way by crop diversifi
cation. The Ashburn creamery is a good starter in this direction,
but out of the 30,000,000 pounds oi butter imported into this coun
try, how much is Georgia’s share? What ia Georgia doing to
wards raising her own corn, meat, hay and other things to dimin
ish her bills to tho middle west, also her bills to the north west?
The past Is ever a golden time.
When It's many a year away.
And the folks wlio’ro pretty well
pant their prime «
Are always aghast at Today!
And they're right, ot course, as yen
plainly see.
In the Judgments that they aver.
But. "Times ain’t at all what they
r.aad to bo,"
And they never ware!

Do we Americans tell un
truths today more glibly than
wo did 35 years ago?
Has our conception of hon
esty degenerated so far that
the machinery of justice has
been rendered useless by the
rust of perjury?
Judge John C. Townes. Aus
tin. Tex., one of America's
most learned Jurists, thinks so.
He says:
"It Is almost Impossible for
coutrs to render Justice today.
We need in our courtrooms
more' of the rugged honesty
which formerly was our price
less treasure.”
That’s an Indictment of the
moral fabric of all American
society.
Arc we guilty or not guilty?
AU8IN. Tex. — Greed, love
oasy living and a breakdown
moral fiber have made perjury so
dominant a factor In American
courts that justice Is entirely
