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 4 School opened on Monday, Sep tember 28, with the best of pros pects for a most successful term.
