Duncan. WHEN AN HONEST MAN ’-S HONEST There is a vast difference in men. One man takes his obligations to pay seriously— and pays. Another just as able financially, fails or re fuses to pay. How <io you account for the dif ference in these two men, both of whom are fundamentally honest or think they are? lan t it just a lack of proper ap preciation of the fundamentals of ■business? Next to his honor, one’s credit is his dearest possession. Money we make have, today, with none tomor row. Thieves may break in and ste.il our dollars, but none but our selves can steal our credit. We may not be able to pay, all, I here are times when we can not pay anything. But we can make every effort to satisfactorily ar r ”ge our accounts satisfactory to both both debtor and creditor. Too often our inability to pay is because we decline to make the necessary persona] sacrifices. Credit is a courtesy extended. Lack of appreciation for courtesies given is bad manners—-Worse, it is bad business—it is one of the car dinal sins.- the malarial fight is up TO YOU— ACT! For doctor’s bills alone, people in the county paid $15,000 last year, according to a statement made by Dr Branham, county health officer. Dr. Branham also says that one cent a day will furnish quinine suf ficient to prevent malaria in man or child. He stated that the elim ination of malaria in the county would bring additional trade to the merchants of he county NOT LESS than $50,000 a year. Dr. Branham’s an expert, who makes these emphatic statements after a careful survey of Sumter county. Next year the farmers of Sumter will face the “fight of their lives.” After a more or less disastrous crop this year, the farmer is preparing to recoup his loss by extraordinary exertions in 1924. To succeed in his effort, he and his labor should be at the very peak of physical perfection. Marlaria has no part -n the bat tle of 1924. ' The few thousands of dollars necessary to completely eliminate mosquito breeding places in Sum ter county dwindle into utter in significance when compared with the added wealth that will accrue from.-the. elimination. The. county is financially able to bear the burden of the malara tiphtr expense. The money can be found and IT SHOULD BE AP PROPRIATED at once, so that the light may be begun now. The board of county commission <ys-»re able, loyal, splendid busi ness men. THEY will FIND the i|oney when the people of the county make it known that THE PEOPLE desire them to expend tjie PEOPLE S money in this way- U n til the people of the county speak, the commissioners may not desire to act. It is strictly up to you. HE WAS EATING CRACKERS AND MILK. Do people acquire the character istics of what they eat? Yes, accord ing to one scientific theory sup ported by many vegetarians. A k> of us have the same notion lurking in the back of our heads—as, for instance, the popular belief that, feeding raw steak to a prize fight er makes him ferociously sivte. '. Possibly this theory will ex {Main the sad, resigned facial ex presstbns o' so many of the patrons of the buttermilk bars. On the other hand, last night in a resuar itnt we observeda frail, timied-ap pearing ttle woman industriously attacking ;r s&a|i, fries, salau, pie and the like. Ovett ip the corner sat a big ‘bruiser of a tnan, picture of health. He was eating crockero and milk. Considerable sensation has re- cently been caused among the world’s anthropologists by F. P. Armitage’s book which presents the theory that racial characteristics are determined by the diet consumed over many generations. Armitage claims that racial pig mentation or coloring is controlled by the amount of salt habitually consumed with food. His theory is that the dark races could bleach themselves considerably by eating more salt for many generations. 1 And so on, Armitage arguing that all the physical characteristics peculiar to the various races and na tionalities, are the result of ances tors’ diet. i Ts he’s right, the eventual ab sence of alcohol from the Ameri can diet may work some startling changes in - our descendant’s ap pearances. THE HUMAN BODY'S POWERS OF RESISTANCE. A nine-year-old Indian boy got lost in the dense woods near The Pas, Monitoba, Canada. He wan dered for 17 days, covering at least 100 miles of wilderness, nev er seeing a man. Then he was found rescued by a party of hunt ers'. During the 17 days, he had to fight nature face-to-face to keep alive, for when he got lost had neither food nor suplies of anjl kind— not even a pocket knife. He made a bow-and-arrow killed enough game to keep alive. Now, the bow-andarrow is obselete with the Indians of this lad’s tribe, except as playthings, the high-pow ered rifle having taken its place. But if he hadn’t known how to make a bow-and-arrow outfit, he’d have perished. Knowledge often seems worthless—until emergency. That’s what knowledge is really for, after all—emergency. The more education, the better. Another instance of the human body’s powers of endurance: In Canton, Ohio, P. H. Hassan fell in to a pool of warm asphalt. He couldn’t get out. Struggled until he was exhausted. This was in the evening. When rescuers found him qext morning, the asphalt had hardened into a solid block. Hassan was firmly imbedded only his her.d and right arm showing. They had to chop him out. A terrible experience. But he lives, apparently none the ■worse for his experience. The cases of Hassan and the lost Indian boy illustrate how difficult it is to extinguish the like spark. Man fights hard, can endure al most anything when death threat ens him. OPINIONS OF OTHER EDITORS TOMATOES AND TOBACCO PAY Tomatoes and tobacco are two paying crops, and they grow more prolifically nowhere than in Glynn county. These crops, with sweet Potatoes and sugar cane, should make any farmer happy and prosperous.—Bruns wick News. AN IDEAL CROP The man with his pecpn grove old enough to yield a good crop is fortunate indeed. The crop, in south Georgia this year is a great lessons to the men of thrift There ought to be no further de lay—hundreds of thousands of dollars are to be had this year out of pecans in this section— and yet pecans are still a side crop.

Autumn has been phe nomenally mild up there, the Yu ober. :on river free of ice late in Oc- Old settlers are predicting a mild winter in the north which would nean an “open winter’ in our coun ry. One guess is as good as an - ther for 19:23 hay been the strang est year for weather in our genera tion, You’ll recall some scientists predicted this would be a “year without a summer.” They got fooled. ♦« • | COLDS. With winter coming, whether mild or severe, epidemics of colds are certain. Here is free medi cine;.. - Dr. J. R. Harris writes in Inter national Journal of Surgery, that fresh fruit juices, especially oranges and grapefruit, help cure colds and even prevent them. Acids of fruit juices do many things; most import ant of which is the way they aid the blood’s white corpuscles to attack and devour cold germs. JOBS. Steel industry has slowed down; nothing to worry about. Just a re action; buying was abnormally big a few months ago. Buyers sit back, sizing up the situation, hoping for price cuts, it’s a periodical situa tion, buyer and producer saying to each other: “Well, I’m waiting, it’s your move.” "United States Steel Corporation is working nine-tenths of capacity, only a tenth less than top spend. It has orders on its books for over five million tons of steel. • * * CHEESE. Everything is more or less topsy turvy, and nothing seems to he spared. Switzerland is excited by its government’s discovery that Swiss cheeses now are three-fifths holes, only two-fifths cheese. Normally it’s the other way around. Only the Sw-iss cows know the reason, and they can’t tell. Possibly the restaurant doughnut wiil beAr watching. ~ » » k CHINESE. Philippine Islands in ancient . times were inhabited by Chinese, I according to scientists who have been digging up relics of the past. All paleolithic roads are beginning to lead to China. Recent excavations suggest that the cradle of the hu man race was in Gobi, the big Mongolian desert. You’ll read a lot about the origi nal Chinese in next few years. Among other things, the claim they discovered America 1000 years ahead of Columbus. We think P. T. Barnum discovered America. » V TEA. India captures from China the po- ! sition of bein--- the biggest tea ex- ! porting country in the world. Baek of this is a mighty oriental trade war. Chief thing that made China lose out was the loss of her Russian market. Russians haven’t been able to afford tea as much as formerly. Its a luxury. Chinese are the best “traders” in the world. They’ll regain <their tea ! market. It’ll take time, but a few thousand years are nothing to the patient Chinese mind. Watch them ■ walk. Blinded by lights, owl knocked 1 out a Los- Angeles autoist.
