O Editor Jim Williams, of the Greensboro-Herald- Journal, is justly indignant that a report has been circulated that after a man passes fifty lie would rather have a mess of young turnip givens than the kiss of a pretty girl. “Don’t you believe any such tommy-rot,” lie wails. Well, we don't.—Dawson News. O- It’s The Truth. i Land may be unprofitable now. It will not always remain so. It is the only real and indestruetible form of wealth in the world. Every other form of proper ty can he stolen or destroyed, but land will remain with you and survive all the disasters that can pos sibly come to it. The time to buy land in Georgia is right now.—DeKulb New Era. O 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. U 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.— Exchange. THE WINDER NEWS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 8.W.M.1.
