ECONOMY.
One of tile most important arts
ot our time is the art of spending
end saving judiciously.
We should be temperate in the ex¬
penditure of money as well as in
eating or drinking.
It is our duty to save a part of
our earnings each month. Then at
the end of the year, our bank books
will speak for themstlves.
The man who gets a small income
and saves part of it, is better off
than the one who receives large
wages and spends it all foolishly.
Economy is the growth of exper¬
ience, example and forethought. It
has been said that it is only when
men become wise and thoughtful,
when they become frugal.
It is not the time to begin saving
after one is descending the hill of
life. Children should be taught to
s.‘ve. Nearly all banks now-a-davs
have savings departments where very
small entries can be made. If chil¬
dren are trained up in the way they
should go they will not depart from
it when they become men. If chil¬
dren are allowed to spend their mon¬
ey they become spendthrifts and
poor men in old age. Saving in
eatly life means competency in old
age.
Something should always be laid up
for the rainy day (and we all have
rainy days) for we never know when
we will be hindered by providence.
People in every phase of life should
be economical.
There are many kinds of economy;
such as: Political Economy, Domestic
Economy, and the Economy of Time.
Economy is not only used in a pri¬
vate sense. The heads of our coun¬
try must be economical with the
money that is collected (in the form
of taxes) from the people, and use
’.t judiciously. A man knows if he
buys too much he will be a bankrupt.
The head men of oui country also
know that if too much is spent for
things at random that it will be de¬
trimental to the nation. Thus it is
seen that our nation needs a sound
system in the regard to the regula¬
tion of its affairs.
A woman can either make or ruin
a man by her housekeeping. The
word economy is derived from a
Greek word meaning house-regulation.
Tlie most important place in the
home, where things should be saved
is in the kitchen.
We should also be economical with
•>ui time, for we do not know how
much time we are going to have, and
should make the best possible use
of that we are now killing.
Think how much time is wasted in
every community, and how much we
ourselves idle away.
Many men sit around nearly all
the winter, and then when spring
comes they stop their children from
school to do the won:, that they them¬
selves should have already done,
while they were hanging around cor¬
ners and country stores playing check
ors, drinking Coco Cola etc.
Our strength should not be wasted
either for we have only a limited
amount and that should not be used
unnecessarily.
Any man, liowevei poor, can ac¬
cumulate by a strict though not par¬
simonious economy enough to enable
himself and family to have the appear
ance of respectability and hav eom
torte. A small farm can be rented
near a good school. He should give
his farm his undivided attention. His
wife and children can raise chickens
and dairy products, which. find
ready market at the nearest town.
\\ hen he sells his cotton in town, in¬
stead of buying candy, toys, tobacco,
and other unnecessary luxuries, he
should put all of the money that he
isr.t obliged to use in the bank. In
a few years he will find that he has
enough to buy the place and educate
his children in the higher branches.
Any one can save il they only have
the will. (
Many people buy things which they
absolutely' do not need, and are bet¬
ter off without.
Some phase of the domestic life in
every family shows evidence of waste
iu-lness. The evidence of extrava
in the home and farm can be
noticed each day as we see loads of
provisions (and fertilizers) for both
man and beast being hauled out from
All these things could and
be raised" at home. All of the
and feed that is needed, on
farm can be raised on it except
soda, medicine and a few other
articles.
Parsimony as well as ext.rava'gence
wrong. It has been said thajt the
to enrich are many, and most
them are foul. Parsimony is one
the best, and yet it is not wholly
for it holds men from the
ks of liberality and charity.
Some times people go too far in
saving of money. They e’?en let)
suffer while they pinch,
and scratch, for another “al¬
dollar to add fo their "hoards.
misers are of not mu< *h more
to their community than the peo¬
in the cemetary, and th tey take

something for no man can live entire¬
ly to himself.
Some people save a nickle while
they lose a dollar,—like in the game
of checkers, move so as to save a
man while they lose two kings.
Then economy of principals may
mean the saving of the soul, for by
wastefulness and extravagence we
mark the spendthrift, and in the
spendthrift we usually find the dis¬
solute character. While in the econo¬
mist we usually find the men above
reproach, and a life well spent, a
character uprightly sustained is no
slight legacy to leave the world; for
P is the most eloquent lesson of vir¬
tue and the sweetest proof of vice,
above all.
Neither a borrower or a lender be,
for a loan oft loses, both itself and
friend. And borrowing dull the edge
of husbandry.

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
Edited by Mrs. Barnes.
W. W. Kitchin, Governor of North
Carolina, says: “As to disrespect
for the law: There is opposition to
it, but I think no disrespect except
by those who violate it. If "here is
any other disrespect, it is confined
t o those who opposed it and who wish
to encourage efforts toward its re¬
peal. As to the liquor sold: Thert^
is far less liquor sold in this state
now than before prohibition. There
is less drunkenness and les crime."
In his admirable message to the
General Assembly Governor Kitchin
had the following to say about prohi¬
bition:
Prohibition has now been in force
throughout the state for two years.
This is a short period with which to
Measure the effects of a reform move¬
ment. We have done little more than
planted the seed, whose full fruitage
v, t 1 ‘ be gathered by coming genera¬
tions. And yet already the results
fully justify its adoption. There has
been, as appears from the Attorney
General’s report, based upon Superior
Court statistics, a narked diminution
in crime, even in the crime of vio- j
Idling the prohibition law. Business
ha.s experienced increase rather than
diminished prosperity. Morality, in- ,
dcstry politics and frugal y have increased, have j
and and government |
teen to a great extent relieved of one
<>i their niQst corrupting influences.
The newly elected governor of Ten¬
nessee, Benjamin W, Cooper, in his
inaugural address said:
We have swung too far around the
cycle of civilization to force the state
co sit with closed eyes and folded
lauds, and offer no resistance to her
verst scourger. The man who advo¬
cates that society do nothing more
than to build and equip hospitals, asy¬
lums, jails and penitentiaries and dig
the graves for victims of the demon
rum will find that the world has
moved on and left him. The time
lias passed when license may run
rampant and unresrtained in the
name of liberty. The highest courts
of our states have sustained the
right of the people to prohibit as
well as regulate the sale of whiskey.
We might quote realms of such
testimony from -prohibition states and
piohibition cities and counties.
