Delinquent Subscribers Retard Pro gress. American Pro**. The announcements appearing in n number of country newspapers since the beginning of the new year brings with them the conviction that the coun try publisher is determined to place his atTairs on u sound business basis. These nnnouneetn'-nts request the prompt pay- ment of subscription dues, and, while the requests are couched in polite lan guage, they are sufficiently strong to let the delinquent subscriber under stand that his paper will be stopped un less he pays for it. Tins is just ns it should be. How long would any merchant tol erate delinquency among his custom ers? How long would he look on while the goods for which he had been made to pay promptly were going out of his shop and being consumed, while ho waited for his customers to pay? If he is a good business man he would not wait longer than let nie he liberal and say, a month. Hut cases of this kind are the exception with business men. The butcher, the grocer and others are mostly paid cash on delivery. They take in their money as the goods go over the counter. They would soon stop selling anyone who made them wait any length of time for payment. They can't afford it. Tney must be paid in order that they may replenish their sti cks. It is the same way with the news paper publisher. He needs money as badly as the shopkeeper, if not more so. The coat of getting out a weekly paper is high. Tne publisher’s money goes out, and his financial needs in crease with ouch issue unless he is paid promptly. And still there are any number of publishers who allow their subscribers to l ,k• ■ any old length of time before plying for their paper. As it is. the reader gels a bigger return from the pub lisher for his <1 th in tie can hope to ob tain elsewhere. He shoul 1 he n.ude to res! z * this The matter should be laid before him in polite, hut uncertain terms. The delinquent read- r must be informed that unice s payment is made his paper Will he stopped. Tne pub lisher, like every other business man, is in business fur a livelihood, an i not mi r- ly for philanthropic r is ms or t e- cauie he wan.s toke.-p himself bu-y. Every delinquent subs-rib -r is cu*- ting into the publisher’s means of sup port. Fir fr en being an asset, he is a debt widen the publisher his to c my, nnlupm which the Utter is paying interest inst el of drawing interest If you have to.' d -lii q i *nt subscribers v -u are no'-alone d-uttvedof the use and the interest or. $1(X), but you must find this sum elsewhere to help carry on your business. In other words, $200 of your money is being used to publish your paper instead of just half that sum. Aside from this, people don't iippre- ciate what they gel for nothing Ad vertisers will he reluctant to buy space m a paper which they have reason to believe is circulating among many peo ple without payment. It is the paid subsefiption that counts with the ad vertmer. Those publishers who are insisting upon payment of subscriptions are do ing well hy their papers, and are doing well by themselves. They are running their papera on business principles, on which every newspaper should be built in order thut it may lust. What Rate of Interest Do You Pay? The ITopreflsivo Farmer. An adequate system of rural credits is to-day one of the most imperative needs of the American farmer, and we deeply regret the decision of President Wilson not to push the subject at the prepent session of Congress. Until we do get such a system—until the farmer gets money at a fair rate of interest wherewith to make needed improve ments—it is inevitable that much of the advice to follow better metis ds must necessarily go unheeded. We venture the assertion that not ore Southern farmer in ten gets money at 0 per cent, or less; that not one in five pays 8 per cent, or less; and that the vast majority pay anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent, tor lire use of money for a single year. These statements will be borne out hy an unbiased investigation of the actual situation. This can only mean one thing: Our farms must go unimproved; stumps must remain in our fields; fences, barn?, nod nice homes must remain unbuilt; better breeds of livestock cannot be purchased, nor labor-saving, rnoney- mak'ng farm machinery installed. Why? Because, however important and neces sary to belter farming and better living these improvements may be, the aver age farmer’s business simply cannot afford to pay such ruinous interest rates on money borrowed to make these changes. American farmers possess an aggre gate wealth of forty billion dollars, against a total value of all the railroads of the United States ot only about fif teen billion dollars Vet the latter, with less capital invested and a surely no sounder, safer security, are able to bor row vast sums at 5 and l’> per cent., while tho average farmer has to pay from 8 to 50 per cent. This is a condi tion that should not tie, and it is simply up to the farmers of the country to de mand a change. At the outset, we doubt if prevailing conditions are due to any one man or set of men. Rather they are due to a had system, and it is this that must be changed if we are to gel permanent re lief. What is necessary? 1. Legislation in every State to put the Torrens law into operation, so that titles to lands may he made absolutely sound and safe. 2. Money f >r the farmer on long time-not less than 2;) years—with in terest at not mire than 6 per cent., a small part of the principal being repay able each year. 3. Th * issuance of debentures or bonds against mortgages on farmlands, in ord-r to make liquid these assets and facilitate purchases. I. Absolute security on the part of the lender—this of course being the purchaser of the bonds—by the most rigid Governmental supervision of sll operations. A N itional Rural Credits law im- b’.lying the?.* few f undo mental princi ples will, wi believe, mean cheap mon ey on long time for the farmer.

How many people in thu community uro living on their own mom y? If the question was put to each pir. son individually he would answer that ho is living on his own funds; and he douhth -x would tie entirely sincere in I his Btatenv nt. But are we really living on our own money? Lot’s dig down under the surface at.d n eo what wt er>n find. For the sako of ergument we will as sume that you are running an account with the grocer, and the butcher, und ' possibly other merchants. You pay, of course* but perhaps ycu make settlement only every sixty or ninety days. Some evi n pay their bills only twice a year. Now, wus it your money that paid ihe wholesaler for the goods you are using and for which you have not paid, or was it the merchant’s? And if it was the merchant's and ycu 1 have not paid him, is it your money which you are living on until settlement day, or is it his? We contend that fully one-half the people are living from day to day on other people’s money, and by doing so they are themselves directly contrib uting to the present high cost of living. Nov;, control your rising anger for a moment, and we will endeavor to show why you are keeping prices up. The average mercantile stock costs several thousands of dollars, and it must be paid for in cash, or else the merchant must obtain a line of credit from the wholesaler. And when he buys his goods on credit he pays a higher price for them. In turn, you buy your goods from the merchant on credit, and he in self-de fense must add still an additional “safety” profit. In other words, he must charge more than a cash price in order to protect, himself from the cer tainty of loss consequent upon slow collections, bad debts and other annoy ances. Thus two “safety” profits are added to the original selling price of the ar ticle. Do you see how it works?—how the price is boosted? If every customer paid spot cash for his goods the merchant, in turn, could do the same with the wholesaler, there by securing from the latter a discount fur cash. And then the merchant would not be required to add the "safety profit’’ to his goods, which would mean another sub stantial reduction in the price of the article - and all because of the simple expediency of handing the cash over the counter. Now, doesn't it look as though this practice of living on other people’s money is costing us considerably more than we are justified in paying for such a doubtful privilege? it might require some slight incon venience and a little temporary re trenchment in order to change to a cash system, but if a merchant gives a flat offer of 15 or 20 per cent, discount for cash you would jump at the opportu nity. Doesn't it appear to be to the advan tage of everybody in this community to wipe out the baneful credit system and buy and sell for cash? It certainly looks that way to us. How does it appear to you? Hundreds, of health articles appear in newspapers and magazines, and in prac tically every one of them the impor tance of keeping the bowels regular is emphsized.

Which Plan for Reducing the Cotton Crop Appeals to You ? Projrressive Farmer. Plan 1. 1 will use no fertilizers on my cotton, for if 1 do it will increase the yield per acre and the crop will be so large that I will not get more than one- half or two-thirds its value. It will not do to raise a large crop of cotton this year, so I will plant my twenty acres and use no fertilizers. I will only get eight hales off twenty acres, hut I will get more for the eight bales than I did for twelve bales last year, and I will have no fertilizer bills to pay. Plan 2 I must reduce my cotton crop. I made fifteen bales last year on my twenty acres, hut this year I must re duce my crop to eight hales. By using a little more fertilizer and buying only the plant foods I need I can grow tho eight bales on ten acres. This will leave me ten acres to put into other crops to feed my work stock and family, cr to sell, and, growing legume feed crops, 1 can improve rny land so that next year 1 will not have to buy any nitrogen, which is the expensive part of the fertiliz *rs , Best Plan. I may reduce my cotton crop, but if I grow more per acre I will ; reduce the cost of production, and by 1 raising my feeds instea 1 of buying them, and hy improving my land through growing legume feed crops. I will have more clear money from mv eight hah-s than I had last year from I ntv fifteen hales. WHEN DIE TIRED nun gives out What Then?—The Family Suf fers, the Poor Mothers Suf fer—Mrs. Becker Meets This Distressing Situation. Collinsville, III. —“I suffered from a nervous break-down and terrible head aches, and was tired all over, totally worn out and too discouraged to enjoy life, but as I had four in family and sometimes eight or nine boarders, I kept on working despite my suffering. “ I saw Vino) advertised and decided to try it, and within two weeks I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and now I am a well woman.’’ —Mrs. Ana Becker, Collinsville, 111. There are hundreds of nervous, run down, overworked women in this vicinity who are hardly able to drag around and who we are sure would be wonderfully benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was. The reason Vinol is so successful in building up health and strength in such cases is because it combines the medici nal tissue building and curative elements of cod’s livers together with the blood making, strengthening properties of tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner vous, run-down man or woman in this vicinity to try a bottle of Vinol on our guarantee to return their money if it fails to benefit. JOHN K. CATES DRUG CO.. Newnan !

In Loving Memory of Little Lucile Carmichael. Shr closed swept brown o*e3 Ami went to her beyond the Godichllod h» r home: He knew ’twas best;— Sleep on. dear darling, and take your rest. He that dueth all things well planted this little hud on earth to hurst and blfiom beneath the bright rays of a heavenly ky. He let us keep her for a short while to brighten our homes and lives ere He called her up higher to a “home not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” She was such a beam of sunshine to the family—so sweet, so pure, so innocent;—but there’s none too sweet to die. Pure, beautiful, angelic did she look in death! She was 2 years, 7 months and 17 days old. She had j grown too sweet for this world. She was so patient during her sickness, and took the medicine so sweetly. It was sad to look on her little form wasting away, day by day. Sometimes it seems hard to us, but we must be sub missive. “We wiih patience wait to meet you, In your golden palace there. Fur we know you are restinR sweetly. With no suffering pain to boar." Dear parents, I know it grieves you to give up your darling child; but “the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away; — blessed he the name of the Lord.” O! ho* I shall miss her visits to our home, when she would follow me around with pattering feet and prattling words. Death is something we can neither shun nor put off. I know you will of ten think of her, but feel assured that your darling is now resting with the redeemed in heaven, and the Lord is using her to bring us closer to Him. Her mission here was finished. Let us try to do our Father’s bidding, so that when our race on earth is run we can go to m et her, where she will be watching at the beautiful gate. No great characters are ever formed with out suffi-ring and sacrifice.

She went to sleep as softly as the winds die among the vio let beds when the day is gone. Her work was done.
