sibly come to it. The time to buy land in Georgia is
right now.—DeKulb New Era.

The Way To Farm
In an account of a recent fair held over in Brunson,
S. C., the following description of a real farmer oc
curs. It shows what can he done in the south by
men of intelligence and energy.
"J. W. Lightsey, one of the foremost and largest
farmers of the Brunson neighborhood, had an indi
vidual display of exhibits from his farm that was
enough to excite the envious ambitious of any farmer
who is at all desirous of making the farm business
pay. Mr. Lightsey grows everything that is needed
In the way of food and clothing supplies, almost. He
was wearing a suit made from wool raised by him,
and in his exhibit another line suit of the same ma
terial. He has quite a flock of sins'p and devotes
his atentiom to keeping up to the highest stand
ard. His hogs are as tine ns can be found and supply
all the meat that he needs to run liis plantation. He
had hams on exhibition that were two years old; nnd
side meat and breakfast meats. Mr. Lightsey made
a fine crop of cotton this year despite the boll weevil,
hut he says he di<4 it with hard work and close at
tention.”
We believe that farming can he made just as profit
able now ns ever in the history of the South, but it
is going to take men who work and who give close
attention to their business.
The Governor Is Right.
We like the way Governor Hardwick handled the
proposition to proclaim a “rat-killing week ’ in Geor
gia. We are running the “week” business in the
ground. Said the governor:
“Rat killing week Is sponsored by some good peo
ple and doubtless is all right, and the rats may lie
gnawing us more than I realize, hut I decided some
time ago that the governor Georgia should only issue
proclamations when there is something of real im
portance to proclaim. Therefore, I have issued or
ders that no more general proclamations on all sorts
of subjects be issued from this office during my term.”
Why not have “hog-killing weeks” “mosquito killing
weeks” and about a hundred other weeks through
out tie year of fifty-two weeks?
O
Charity
)
Charity is a great big fraud.
It comes to you with hypocritical pretenses.
It supposes to smooth out a rough road.
It seems to he a friend, but it is really an enemy.
There may Ik- exceptions, but they are rare.
Charity may be all right for children. But under
such circumstances it is misnamed. Children are en
titled to all the comforts necessary for proper growth.
When parents fail to do their duty towards them, the
duty of the community or government then begins.
Charity may be allowable at all times to the sick
and the crippled, though they are usually paying the
penalties for the crimes committed against Natural
laws by themselves and their forefathers.
But charity to an able-bodied man or woman is a
crime. It takes away your self-reliance. It encour
ages you to depend on someone else. It weakens
your power to help yourself. It perpetuates incapac
ity, helplessness, hopelessness.
('barfly sets up n false standard. A reward comes
to you without effort. You have not earned it.
Then, too, a charitable individual is often roundly
bated.
A beggar may mutter his thanks in the most ob
sequious terms. But lie is pretending. His words
are superficial, meaningless.
This statement can lx* proven by selecting a beggar
who is prominently located at a certain place.
You pass him every day. On each occasion you give
him a coin. He is all smiles whenever he sees you
appear. There is every indication of appreciation.
But your financial situation changes. One day you
pass him ami fail to give him the usual coin. He
looks surprised aifd grieved. Now carefully note his
expression each day thereafter. Your coins are not
forthcoming, and you need not be surprised if an ex
pression of keen personal hatred is the reward of
your apparent neglect. Past favors are usually for
gotten.
Charity takes away the tremendous incentive that
comes with earning the rewards that you secure.
There may be rare exceptions where charity is
commendable. It may help people to meet extraordi
mary emergencies, hut they must recognize the assist
ance as a debt which they must pay.
Charity that is indiscriminate helps to make crim
inals of honest people. It teaches them how to get
something without effort. It is a ease of getting
something for nothing.
Why work when you can get money without work
ing. is the lesson that it emphasizes.
Dependence on charity takes away one's self-re
spect. It undermines the character. It destroys the
will.- —Berimrr McFadden.
Q
Our Happiest Moments
Can you recall the happiest moment in your life?
There are happy moments scattered all along life’s
pathway which we remember pleasantly, but in the
lives of some there stands out some moment which
overtops all the other occasions that have come into
our lives. What do you think of the following con
fession that lias been made by Roger W. Babson, the
renowned business and financial expert, and who is
well fixed in worldly goods.
“The happiest moment 1 ever experienced—proba
bly over shall know— was when Frank Remick prom
ised ust eighteen years ago to me $12.50 a week
for supplying his firm with some financial statistics.
It meant life to my wife and to me. It meant hope
and a chance for the future.”
We think Babson is right. Our happiest moments
come to us early in life as we are struggling to get
it foothold in tin' world. Small successes at that time
of life mean much more to us than large successes
later on hi life. We can all get this consolation out
of Robson's confession, that successful men, back
in their early life, were of no larger proportions than
we are. and that if we will only have faith and go
on, that we, too, can he successful.

Two years ago l’eter Pullos, railroad section fore
man of Toledo. (>.. became worried over financial con
ditions of banks and withdrew his life’s savings,
$1,350, and buried it in an earthen jar. Recently
Pullos decided that banks were all right again and
dug up the jar. In the bottom of the partly disin
tegrated receptacle was a mass of bill fragments,
chewed by worms until they were past redemption.—
