FOUR SMALL BOYS RIFLE
JESUP STORE OF CASH.
Jesup, Ga., June lo. —Four
small hoys from the age of 12 to
about 10 years, robbed the safe ot
the Jesup Mercantile company
here of $8,2000 last night. Three
of the boys were negroes, and one
white. Two of the negroes hid in
the store under one of the count
ers when >t was closed last night.
When they t, that their
way was clear they’ went to the
door and unbarring it let the oth
er boys in. The safe had been
left open, and it was no trouble
to get the contents.
Two of the negroes went to a
station on the A. C. L. railroad,
Leak, about five miles from here,
and boarded the A. C. L. local
freight and passenger train, going
to Folkston, Ga. When they
went to pay the conductor their
fare they pulled a roll of bills
from their pockets. This made
the conductor suspicious, and he
arrested them and wired hack to
Jesup. The negroes confessed
and told who were implicated
with them. They are all f° ur
lodged in jail here now. The
white boy’s name is Elrna M aiker.
They will have a preliminary
hearing tomorrow. They stole
about S2OO in cash and about
SB,OOO of notes.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1910
| THE FARM BOY AND HIS CHANCE.
We need to have more farm
hovs grow up into farm men. But
' we must give them an interest m
farm life. All boys look to tlie
future. They expect some day
* to have a family of their own and
they wisely think they cannot he
too soon preparing for it. A re
• cent writer says that in one par
i ticular point the average farmer
is unfair to his boy. This farmer
sets himself up as a standard. If
he did not want to do this and to
do that, t<» go here and to go there
why should his boy?
The farmer remembers when
things were harder all around,but
they were harder for his father,
too. Why do we have generation |
; following in the footsteps of their
predecessors, unless these foot
steps lead to higher things and |
brighter things? The farmers of
today fifty years old have,speak
ing generally, an easier time phy
sically than their paternal fore
fathers had. Your boy has a
right to look to a like advance in
his condition.
And you ought not to he satis-
I tied with less.
| The conditions of life on the
farm and in the city have vastly
changed from what they were
when you were a hoy, old man,
and you must recognize the
change or else things will go t<>
I smash.
Your hoy has to compete with
other boys whose fathers have
I tried to give them all of the ad
| vantages they can in the race of
life. Your neighbors’ sons are
the men with whom your sou has
to compete. They will come to
their farm life better prepared in
j eyery way than their fathers were.
Now see that your son competes
with them on equal terms. Get
him the best education that you
can afford to give him. Let him
learn of the best farming meth
ods. Supply him with the best
: tools and instill in him the am
bition to do better than you do,
and better than you have ever
been able to do. He knows more
a I tout the soil—about the consti
tuent elements of the soil. He
knows more about the markets,
j He has more tools than you had or
than you knew when you were his
age.
We hope it, is true that, the phy
sical hardships of life on the farm
are less now than they were when
you were a boy.
For if they are not, more boys
every year will go to town. Life
|in town is more attractive now
than town life was fifty yehrs ago
and if the furm life hasstood still
I there is not much hope for the
farm future.
It has not stood still, and it
j ought not to stand still on your
j farm. Give the boy his share in
the good things of life that come
I through the inventors, the dis
coverers, men who have trans
formed industry. Have him lead
a hopeful helpful and vigorous,
life. Let him have the pleasures
of life along with its labors. Do
not tell him to postpone happi
ness until he is your age, for if he
doeß he will not know how to be
happy. Make him happy today
and tomorrow and next week and
next year and then the happiness
of five, ten and twenty years
hence will come to him through
his own efforts.
Teach him the habits of life
that make him a strong, health
ful man. Teach him the habits
•of mind that make him a strong,
good man.
Discontent is not a had quality.
On the contrary, it is the motive
that leads to the betterment of
the conditions of daily life every
where. If you boy is discontent
ed with the farming he ought to
be allowed to change; but per
haps it is only hit discontent with
the farm he is living on. Perhaps
this discontent may be removed
by taking him more into your
confidence, making him a partner
with you, giving him special
fields on whied he can exert his
own energy and develop enter
prises of his own
If you want to keep the boy on
the farm let him feel that after
the year’s work is over he has
something to show for it, not |
merely in knowledge and experi
ence and in improved crops, hut
in profit and in a little money in
bank or in a little field of his
own.
