Law And Our Country.
No person or people can exer
cise authority who do not them
selves respect authority, none can
command who do not obey.
So, we cannot look for hope to

fit our conditions as to crime. Au
thority hangs very loose upon the
--iioiiih'eiw-.of our people as a class,

Their voice is as that of
son “crying in the wilderness”

temptest of the self-willed among
mankind, who have thrown aside

an inertness of public
ttpiniitn as now seems to exist |
cannot check and correct this (
*vil- There might seem little
foope for our country were we to
iaokonly at the present.
But there is hope for the future.
£ lies in properly teaching obe
dience to the coming generation,
and there lies the only hope.
As the aduit’s greatest need is
respect for authority and obe
dience unto it, so this is the great
among children: love and
tta.dunce lor authority of God,

All these become second nature

THE* TWELVE POINTS OF
THE SCOUT LAW:
E. A Scout is trustworthy.
2. A Scout is ioyal.

4. A Scout is friendly.
5. A Scout is courteous.
13. 4 Scout is kind.
7,. A Scout is OBEDIENT.

y. A Scout is thrifty.
'X). A Scout is brave.
H. A Scout is cieau.
12. A Scout is reverent.
Kot only is this law written in

The Odor from Macon.
Tlae odor of the Macon ring
ci to the recent primary for
C c.i»ressman from the Sixth
district. In order that Judge
Bartlett should win it became
necessary to count enough votes
in Bibb county to give him the
plurality.
And when Mr. Wise asked for
a recount in Bibb county they
found some sixty more ballots
| for Bartlett and forty less for
Wise than on the first count in
the first ballot box opened.
It was then that Mr. Wise ask
ed that the recount should stop.
I No doubt he thought a counting
| further would finally bring his
j Bibb vote down to nothing, tak
i ing avvav his 228 vote in that
| county and making it unanimous
for Bartlett.
This was the Bartlett procedure
begun at Bartlett conventions
and so why not adopt it at a pri
mary? With more than 2,000
votes for and little more than 200
against Bartlett, why not make it
unaminous in Bibb by acclama
tion? And this they were pro
ceeding to do. The fact that it
required this to give Judge Bart
lett the nomination was only an
incident and of course not the
incentive.
The whole thing gives forth
| the odor of this Macon-Bartlett
rin f. \yhy was the exact con
i solidated vote in Bibb never given
l out? Nobody could get it before
the recount and since the recount
we have never found a detailed
statement of it.
And the odor grows stronger,
as time brings out the real facts.
This week the fact is reported
that in the Bibb recount, a num
of ballots showed one candidate’s
name scratched with ink, while
the other names on the same bal
lots were scratched with a pencil.
The stench rises to high heav
en and brands the whole gang
with infamy.
One of the other Bartlett
counties also did the same way.
At first a small plurality was re
ported. Later, as the need
appeared, even a larger plurality.
But that is all passed now. We
repeat the history, however, in
order to say, we know how you
cud it, gentlemen. We shall keep
green your memory for it. We
have submitted to it this tiipe for
the last time.
Your convention which meets
at Barnesville to day must be
ware how you ignore the rights
of the remainder of the district.
Ignore our rights, continue
your unfair representation on
the executive committee, and Mr.
Wise will find it impossible to dis
regard ttie demand from all over
tile dum.ct that he run his race
without .regard or respect or
your rules or your primary. He
uin be forced by that demand to
run :n tie general election and
absolutely ignore and refuse to
enter into a pri nary in which he
will have been robbed of the
nomination in a lvance.
Gentlemen of the odorous
Macon ring, y)u are about to
tear do ■:i tile structure of the
! party primary m this district.

GOOD STATIONERY
PAYS THE FARMER.
The following experience of
our Mr. J. A. Martin should carry
its own lesson with it, and it is a
lesson many farmers need to
learn:
“The other day I • was coming
out of the postoffice with a big
bundle of mail in my hand. A
friend stopped me for a chat and
during the conversation I saw his
eyes riveted upon the top enve
lope of the mail I was holding. I
looked, too a and breeder of Duroc-
Jersey hogs had written us a
letter. There, upon the envelope,
I saw- in red ink, printed upon
neat but inexpensive paper, the
picture of a beautiful Duroc-
Jersey boar. Over the cut were
the words, ‘Return in five days to,’
and under the cut the name and
address of t ; e writer saying that
he was a breeder of Duroc-Jersey
swine, Shropshire sheep and
Rhode Island chickens.
“ The man to whom I was talk
ing sail.: ‘By Jimmy, .I’ve been
looking for a Duroc-Jersey man,’
and he took the name and address.
When I opened the mail, I found
two other advertisements of the
very same breed of hogs—only
the letters were written on plain
stationery and one of them with
a hard lead pencil. Thus, one
man probably made a sale that
would pay for his entire stationery
—and the other fellows missed a
chance because they had ‘econo
mized’ by using, cheap, nameless
paper and envelope.”
Even if Mr. Martin’s friend had
known that the other breeders
had Durocs for sale, the proba
bility is that he would have written
first to the man who used good
stationery, just as anyone else
would. That a breeder does not
have business stationery indicates
first of all to the man who gets a
letter from him that he is not
much of a breeder anyway.
Then he has to waste energy to
prove this impression wrong.
By all means, if you are —have
some stationery printed telling
just what your line of farming is.
You do not need anything fancy—
certainly no “frills,” nor do you
need expensive stationery; but
good neat paper you must have,
and good neat printing you should
insist upon.
Mr. T. B. Parker sent us the
envelope upon which the follow
ing card was printed:
IF NOT DELIVERED IN FIVE
DAYS RETURN TO
PINEHURST FARM,
on which is raised for sale
Corn, Forgage, Potatoes,
Bacon, Etc.
Care Taken as to Quality.
R. F. D.N0.2, Roseboro, N. C.
W. H. Bullard, Owner.
It struck him and struck us.
A little too much perhaps, but
dosen’t ii indicate thrift and good
farming?
Nor should the firmer limit his
printing to his letter-heads and
envelopes. He should label what
he sells, if it is good quality, so
that the buyer may know where
to get more like it. Look at this
label from a pound of butter:
; Jersey Dairy
1 Butter
Made by
\ Mrs. H. W. Willis,
Lincolnton, N. C.
Isn’t that a good advertisement,
as well as a guarantee of quality?
Here is another story told by
Mr. Martin:
“Recently I was waiting for a
train at Tupelo, Miss. Standing
on a truck in front of the express
utiice I saw in a crate a oeautiful
Collie puppy and a Berkshire pig
—one in each end of the crate.
Tacked upon the crate was an
attractive shipping tag, giving the
name of the shipper, stating that
he was a breeder of Berkshire
swine, Homer pigeons, Collie
dogs, and Indian Runner ducks.
I saw no less than a dozen people
walk up, look at the puppy and
pig and then take out a pencil
and paper and write down the
address given on the tag.”
Did that man’s little bill for
printing prove a profitable in
vestment?
Give the farm a name, put the
name on your letter-heads and
envelopes, and as a label on the
things you sell, and see if it does
not make you feel a little bit
prouder of your business and
keep you eager to make the
farm and what it yields good
enough to justify the name. Here
is a good form:
MEADOW BROOK FARH
JAMES SMITH. Proprietor
ATTALLA, ALA.
JERSEY CATTLE and
BERKSHIRE HOGS.
The printing will not cost much.
The publisher of your local paper
tan do it for you and will be glad
to help you get up an attractive
card. Try it. —The Progressive
Farmer.
