Thoughts For The Day
If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst,
give him drink; for in so dorng thou shnlt heap
coals of fire on his head.—Rom. 12:20.
A brave matt thinks no one his superior who docs
him an injury; for he has it then in his power to
make himself superior to the other by forgiving it.
Pope.
WHAT ABOUT FALL BUSINESS PROSPECTS?
People generally are expecting a good fall and
_ winter business. All signs point to such a conclusion.
I Local merchants report summer business as being ttn-
I usually good and well ahead of last year s figures.
Among some of the signs indicating a good business
—• this fall and winter may be noted:
Industry, generally, is busy.
Pig-iron production, always considered a business
| barometer, continues strong.
| Railroads are still heavy buyers of rails, cquip-
f ment and materials. Railroad earnings are looking
b up and rail workers want more pay. Various rail-
f road questions are duo for a congressional launder-
I in* .
Automobile production still ramps ahead..
City construction already contracted for will last
[ weH into next year.
There are very few. unemployed persons in the
; country. So far as busy workers indicate prosperity
; to the fanners, the situation is quite favorable.
The stock/market, the usual index of prosperity,
has had a. number of spectacular failures and stock
prices are down. Seasoned observers say the fail
ures were due to individual weakness rather than
to public 'causes. When depression impends capi
talists rush to buy bonds. No such activity is dis
cernible.
Jg Money is.plentiful, bankers agree.
In the farming field—
The wheat; price shotdd mend, but offers little
hope of substantial permanent improvement.
The world waits eagerly for the flew cotton crop.
Corn prices are up and promise to remain so.
In regard to crops and prices the Secretary of Ag
riculture in a recent report says that out of 33 farm
products only six are below the previous level. These
arc barley, rye, hay, hogs, horses and timothy seed.
Wool, Cotton and broom corn top his list. They all
arc shown bringing more than twice the pre-war
[rice. Some of his other computations are: Cotton
seed, 197jper cent of the pre-war; apples,. 178 per
cent; lambs, 170; chickens, 1G6; butter, 163; flax
seed, 144; peanuts, 140; sheep, 135; buckwheat,
130; corn and eggs, 125.
' Of this list of higher prices products, it 1s encour
aging to note that this year the South will raise moro
cotton, more chickens, more butter, more peanuts,
more corn and eggs, than ever before. The country
generally and the South especially ought to be large
ly prosperous this fall add winter. Already there
are indications of a quickening of business activity
in all lines of trade.
CAN A GEORGlk COUNTV LIVE ON SUCH A RATION 7
From a recent survey made by the Agricultural
College of Georgia counties we take as an illustra
tion Columbia county, where some effort has been
made in dairying.
A study of the figures of Columbia county show
some interesting results. Columbia is reported with
a population of 13,551, farms 1914, operated by
owners, 509, by managers 10, tenants 1395.
A'survey of the live stock of Columbia county
shows, horses and mules 2636, beef cattle 1657,
dairy cattle 2884, hogs 8052, chickens 30,324.
What Columbia county is doing in the way of Tais-
ing food for its live stock population is shown in the
following figures. -No consideration is taken in this
calculation of the food for chickens. The figures
show that Columbia raises less than 17 bushels of
corn, less than one bushel of oats, and about one-
half a ton of hay per year per head to feed its livo
Htock population. The rest of the food necessary to
maintain the life of its live stock must be picked up
from scanty native pastures or bought elsewhere
and imported into the county. With such a show
ing it is no wonder that both the live stock as well as
the human population is poor and underfed.
_ Columbia county certainly needs more feed for its
live stock on such a showing, and this feed ought to
be raised a| home and within its own hordes. It
would be a mistake for thp county as a whole to en
deavor to increase its live stock without first mak
ing preparations to increase the supply of its home
grown feed. Otherwise the county will find itself
in the fix of Farmer Weems Smith, that was told in
The Banner-Herald a day or so ago, with more hogs
than he has feed for them.
There is no doubt hut that Columbia county ought
' have more live stock for in terms of 1,006 popu-
tion the county has 200 horses and mules. 123
beef cattle, 211 dairy cattle. 600 hogs,, and 2250
^.chickens. This is certainly a meager allowance of
HIVe stock per thousand population and it means that
■frost quantities of foods must be shipped into Co
lumbia county from the outside each year to supply
1 food to its human population, as well as for the live
stock population.
The condition of Columbia county is about on an
average with other counties in this section and later
The Kanner-HeraJd will present the figures of other
counties so that comparison with Columbia may be
made as te what this section is doing in raising live
stock and in the feeds that are necessary for their-
proper care and keep.

PASTES
I am a peaceful kiud of chap
Who jumps a hit at a thunder clap;
I’ve never mixed In a bar-room
brawl,
I vo never Im hIii a scrap at nil,
fniid yet I weary or tales and t.-okii
Describing life in the country
nookn;
Or business stories of lads who
rise
By sheer good conduct and enter
prise.
The sort of yarn that Is sweet and
quiet
Is well enough as a steady diet,
But now tomiphen I prefer to read
A yard of terror and craft and
greed.
With lots of murders and sudden
death,
To make mo shudder and hold my
breath;
And scoundrels steeped to ^fco eyes
In crime,
Who sure do give me a bully time.
Bring on tho story where teeth are
gnashed.
Where villains chortle with evil
rage.
And bloodshed trickles down every
•'ago.
Where virtue triumphs, but not
until
I've drunk much slaughter and had
my fill
Of plot and counterplot, brawl and
fight
With gun and poison and dyns
mite!
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?

By HUGH ROWE.
Governor Gifford Pinchot of
Pennsylvania has been dele
gated by President Coolidge
as an ambassador to ccttf* the
differences between the coal oper
ators and miners in order tu pre
vent a strike. It may be depended
that Governor Pinchot will direct
matters so as to avoid any serious
trouble from a strike. He has the
backbone and nerve to stand up
for the rights of the people and
forco the disturbing element of the
operators and miners into line and
cause their bickerings to cease. It
has grown to bo an annual occur
rence—just an the winter ap
