Thoughts For The Day
They that be wiee ehall shine as the brightness
of the firmament; and t hey that turn many to
righteousness as the stars forever and ever.—
Dan. 12:3..
To be wiser than other men is to be honester than
they; and strength of mind is only courage to see and
speak the truth.—Hazlitt.
SAVE WHILE YOU CAN
The. pillion, (S. C.,) Herald has given to its read
ers softie sound advice in practicing economy and
saving while they have something to save. It says:
Our people know how to earn but they don’t
know how to save . That is one of the South’s
faults. We are sadly lacking in thrift. When
times are hard we economize because we are
compelled to, but the moment the tide of pros
perity hits us we begin to spend with lavish hand.
For three years we practiced rigid economy in
Diiiion county. The 1923 crop was one of the
cheapest in the country’s history. We made
twice as much cotton as we expected to make
and the prices were higher than we expected to
receive. The shock was too great for the weak
and we are witnessing another orgy of spending'
similar to that of the fall of 1919. Agenta you
find everywhere. The agent follows the trail of
prosperity and people are spending money for
things that they do not need. If there was any
assurance of bountiful crops and high prices
year after year it would be all right, but what
about next year if we should happen to have a
' crop failure? Now is a good time to lay by a few
of those surplus dollars. They might look as big
as cart wheels this time next'year. ... r -•>. ,i ; -
Tl-.e Herald is absolutely cotTect and wise in its
advice. Another year may bring forth a short crop
and that whiih has been saved this year will be re
quired to tide over until conditions Improve. How
ever, the prosjfccts for 1924 are most encouraging
and it is generally believed that a bigger and better
crop will be made. Every farmer is feeling good
over the crop of this year and now that it has been
demonstrated that cotton can be raised under boll
weevil conditions, a reasonable crop should be plant
ed. Diversification of crops has been the saving of
the farmer and it will save hlm and make for him
prolitahle returns, if followed. Foodstuff in abun
dance, poultry, hogs and cows will make this section
of the country rich and prosperous. ,■
THE FEMININE BANDIT
(■ It is interesting and strangely’truo that the femi-
I nine bandit is the more daring than the mnle bandit
; She seems to put a-touch in her work which has a
p hypnotic influence over those whom she chooses 'to
hold up and rob. Recently In a bank robbery out
west, a bobbed-haired young woman appeared nt>
tno cashier’s window and demanded of him all the
, money laying around loose. She was so nice about
l. it and displayed so much coolness, the banker seemed
loath to comply with her request when she “fired up”
and said, “Make it snappy before I fill you with
some hot lead.” Her remark brought action from the
man behind the window and all the money In his
possession was produced without delay. Quietly tak
ing it over and tucking it under her arm she walked
from the window as though nothing out of the ordi
nary had occurred and mysteriously disappeared. She
was hot the least excited nor did she seem to be a
debutante-in the business, but her every movement In
ti icatd that of an experienced and old timer in the
business. ■ j - •
The-gentler sex can-lay claims to nerve and grit
equal to their most hardened brothers in crime. Al
most daily there are reports of some'woman bandit
holding up a bank, automobiles and even passengers
jn trains. They seem to know how to go about the
lusmess and the easy and unexpected manner in
r Hitch they introduce the act of robbery is not only
surprising, but it is alarming to the unfortunates
held up.
Well, after all, the day is coming when women will •
prove their worth and ability to meet and cope with
nun in all walks of life.
Many of the newspapers in the state continue to
howl over the seven dollars a day paid to the legisla
ture during the extra session. It* * is too late now to
S ew oyer “spilt milk.’’ ,
Congress Is bickering over the election of a chair
man of the Inter-State Commerce committee, that is
the upper house. Unless something is done when
congress convenes next month, the session will be as
expensive jts that of the extra session of the Georgia
legislature.
> Savannah is not ashamed of the publicity received
•over the arrest and convictions of a large number of
dealers in whiskey in that city recently. The Morping
News believes that it is a wholesome reputation .for
the city to have in that its officials are tracking the
law and seeing it to its enforcement. There is milch
to be considered in,this view and we do not know but
that the reputation gained will prove beneficial to
Savannah, after all.

Do You Save
Enough?
RANKERS say that saving money is largely a matter of habit—
of systematically putting away something every pay day—of
consistently thinking in terms of thrift.
\ '
The bankers are right. But remember that thrift embraces
buying as well as saving. It is “penny wise and pound foolish”
to saVe ty scrimping and yet spend money needlessly in making
your every-day purchases.
Has it ever occurred to you that every day you can save some
thing simply by reading the advertisements in this paper? Do
you realize that the advertisements tell you just where and when
to buy to advantage—that they tell you how to avoid regrettable
expenditures.
*
Thrifty folks realize that advertising has reduced the selling
costs of thousands of factories and stores. Many of the things
that today count as necessities or simple luxuries could not' be
sold at anything like their present prices had not advertising
created a broad market for them. It has made millions of sales
at small profit where otherwise there would be thousands of sales
at large profit per sale.'
So, you owe a great deal to advertising. And you owe it to
yourself to read advertising.
