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 «ur mjiiLof today for a betterment fit our conditions as to crime. Au thority hangs very loose upon the --iioiiih'eiw-.of our people as a class, #s*>ugh;some individuals yet re ar n reverent and obedient toau- Their voice is as that of son “crying in the wilderness” tod can scarcely be heard in the temptest of the self-willed among mankind, who have thrown aside ennobling bonds of law and 'ttaidlevjfigue wif i license. 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, aDtmfy; anti parent. All these become second nature Ho the Boy Scout. On. page 10 of the Scout Man- Oißi' there is the following: THE* TWELVE POINTS OF THE SCOUT LAW: E. A Scout is trustworthy. 2.

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. LEGAL NOTICES. Notice to Debtors and Creditors.
