THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1020. 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. FROCK OF DARK SATIN vtmlx v.-.eSJL LJ. f N L.
