PAY YOUR DEBTS
The editor of the Augusta Her
ald says that if one thousand dol
lars in currency could be put in
circulation it would settle twen
ty-five thousand in debts just
now. The Herald is right, but
who has the thousand? The Scre
ven county plan of issuing cotton
script is the only apparent local
solution of the scarcity of money.
The editor says further:
“One of the best ways to help
the present situation, t<? encour
age trade and to help bring about
better times is for every one to
begin to meet promptly their ob
ligations.
“A thousand dollars put into
active circulation in Augusta to
morrow morning with the under
standing that every one who was
paid an account would settle up
and pay another account of equal
value before the day was over,
would, at a low calculation, settle
up and balance $25,000 or more
of debts in Augusta. Why not let
every one try this plan?
“Just as soon as you are paid
an account, make up your mind
you are going to pass the good
work along, and pay one of your
obligations before the day is over.
“A debt paying day would stir
things up in this good old town
and every one would help them
selve and each other by energetic
co-operation. Pay your debts
and help the good work along.
The way to do business is to do
business and it's time for every
oneto getbusv."—Dublin Herald.
MR. FARMER PROTECT
YOUR CREDIT.
Mr. Farmer, if you are in
debt, better make some ar
! rangement to pay, rather
than hold cotton on the
chance of its going to 10
cents, and ruin your credit.
Next year is coming, and the
year after, and you may
need it badly. —Thomasville
Times.
Right—every word of it. I
want, of course, to see every
producer get proper price for his
cotton.
For his own sake, however—
and not for the sake of anybody
who grub-staked him—not for
the sake of any cotton merchant
or other merchant to whom he
owes money: not for the sake of
any banker in whose bank the
farmer has a note due—l repeat,
for his own sake, I want the far
mer to protect his credit.
Even if there must be some
sacrifice, keep your business
word, whether it is in writing or
not.
As I have said before—and as
the paper quoted says —there is
another year coming.
Protect your credit. That is
more important to you than 20-
cent, or 50-cent cotton.—Ex
change.
Jenkinsburg School Notes

School opened on Monday, Sep
tember 28, with the best of pros
pects for a most successful term.
We were honored by the presence
of many of our patrons and by
visitors from a distance. Super
intendent Aladdox of Jackson and
Col. O. M. Duke of Flovilla gave
interesting and most helpful ad
dresses. We take this opportu
nity of thanking all for their pres
ence, interest and co-operation.
Our trustees deserve praise for
their efforts in doing everything
possible for the comfort of pupils
and teachers. We shall try to
show our appreciation by doing
the very best work possible.
The way to make progress is to
make each succeeding year bet
ter than the last. We must keep
sten with time in the newest
methods, thought and books. It
shall be our endeavor to give to
the boys and girls such moral and
intellectual training that they
will develop into men and women
who will be blessings to the great
country they call home. After
all, the great aim of the public
school is to make good citizens.
