WHO IS TO BLAME?
By J. W. Carrington, Jr.
We are coming back to earth again,
but we have been so high the fall is
going to give us the shock of our lives.
There has been to some extent a
good deal of truth in the old saying
“Money seems to grow on trees in this
neck of the woods,” hut it is also true
while we were up in the tris-s for the
expressed purpose of geting our share,
It fell to the ground and left us up,
and when we climiasl down we found
the conservative man had gathered the
soealled easy money and had stored
It away for hard times.
I am not trying to lay all the blame
for these strcnious times at the door
of our local people, but let ns take our
share of the credit and talk it over.
The laboring man has had fair wages
for the past three years. Cost more to
live, it is true, but to lie honest, could
not you have some few dollars
aach week? Say three dollars per week,
which would have amounted in three
years to tine sum of four hundred and
sixty-eight dollars. In many cases this
Could have been doubled with very lit -
effort. “Monew that comes easy, go
easy.”
Reverse with hard times. It comes
hard and goes hard.
A day laborer who works here in
Winder said the other day: “Well, I've
made $5 per day for some time. Had
some sickness and bad luck, but have
managed to save some, and if I have
to “lay off” for awhile I will come out
alright, for l have made a practice
since 1 began work at $1.50 per day to
save a little each week.”
Suppose we give this a try out.
The farmer hns been able to market
his product at a good price, but like
the laboring ifinu “Money come easy
and went easy.” And now to pay the
high price for the tilings he bought is
u problem to be worked out, and it
seems can best lie worked out satis
factorily in the future by following the
advise of the farmer who said:
"I have raised plenty of corn, wheat,
meat —in fact, everything I need to
carry me through next year. I may sell
one bale of cotton in order to have a
little ready money on hand, and hold
my cotton crop until the price goes up.”
If you will act according to this
farmer's statement there will lie little
need of worry about the boll weevil or
low price of cotton next planting sea
son.
The little merchant is probably in
the same boat with the average laborer
and farmer and can lend very little as
sistance to the customer lie lias fur
nished. His house is full of goods
bought at a high price, and to fix the
price of these goods to meet 11k* low
price of cotton and stay in business is
giving him no little trouble at this
time.
How it will all work out I am not
going to predict, lmt will say co-opera
tion from all concerned will lie the
agency through which it settlement can
be last reached.
Let us come down to earth again
and realize the value of a dollar.
