named as the Strenuous president.
Such sentiments as expressed in the
above paragraph Hill have a world
wide influence for good. We all must
admire the man who voices such heal
thy and invigorating sentiments before
seventy million Of his countrymen
many Of whom are occasionally lax in
their speech. But when Mr.. Roosevelt
has something to say he says 1t regard
less of what his carping critics might
say to the contrary.
Many young man will read the
presidents speech on this subject and
be greatly benefited. It will have a tend
ency to illumine his shortcomings and
purge him of an unnecessary amount
Of yerbiage that neither enhances con-
versation nor carries weight in argu-
ment. It sometimes confuses, but is
never convincing It never wins
friends. but makes, enemies. Clean
speech is vastly more potential than
uncouth language profusely accentu-
ated with vile remarks.
No doubt many will take heed to
what the president has uttered, and
feel that 1t is incumbent upon them to
make thorough self-examination. I
haven't the least doubt but what thou
sands have mentally put the following
questions to themselves: Does it pay to
use indecent language? Does it injure
mep Does 1t injure others besides N.Y.
self? Am I setting good example to
those around ne? Does it win promo
tion? Does it attract or repel desirable
friends? Does it secure q place In So
ciety? Does It's frequent use put me
beyond the pale Of fespectsbilityY Is
it the standard around which rowdies
and flippant fools make merry? Can
secure position Of any consequence
and still indulge in vile language z
Does it indicate q degenerate mind
which shifts about with each exertion
it is called upon to perform?
Vile language is habit that requires
less resistance than many other bad
habits to conquer. To become slave
to ones habits is 9 serious reflection
upon ones mental capacity. However,
it is all q matter of self-respect; and he
who respects himself shows the most
respect for others. s.

Uietor or Uanqaisbed,

All have toiled to do has been done i'll;
All have stfiven to grasp escaped me still;
The love longed to win has passed me by;
Mine was the only fault.-unworthy I.
The path that others tread, could not climb;
The joys that others held was never mine:
The battle Is unwon. tho close the night,
Yet still I've fought tho sometimes weak the
fight!
Yet still I've worked, altho my work was vain:
Tho have failed, in naught do I complain,
All that ask Is leave TO fight again.

non-union men are sometimes the most
intelligent.
Onereason probably is that many men
do not cars to surrender their personal
rights or submit to the walking dele
gate, who, in the light of recent disclos-
ures may be looking for rake Off, not
only on the few dollars earned by the
man who tolls, but from the employer
as well.
Some men prefer to be the arbiters
Of their own affairs rather than to place
them in the hands of some rapacious
scoundrel whose only motto is graft,
and therefore they are denied the right
to labor and prevented from obeying
the divine command to work.
In one Of our large cities it was re-
Gently developed that the business
agents of several unions are regularly
carried on the pay rolls of the large
construction companies and that these
agents have on different occasions, for
consideration, allowed employers to
reduce the wages of their men and to
hire union or non-union men as they
pleased. Is it any wonder that all men
do not march under the banner of un-
ion laborp Another reason is that the
unions aim to keep all men ON level,
preventing the skilled mechanic from
deriving any benefit from his excep-
tional ability. The labor sgitator says
that all men are equal, which is all
nonsense. There IL no such thing as
equality, and especially among skilled
mechanics. Among men in the same oc-
cupation there are different degrees Of
capacity and dexterity and the unions
adopt q poor principle when they de-
clare that no man shall show q greater
degree of capacity, produce more work
or labor more hours than his fellows.
In this domain they must learn that
men are not equal in capacity any
more than they are in education and
sense Of moral responsibility. They
must learn this lesson and eliminate
the men who deliberately sell their ig-
norant followers. Until that time the
intelligent laboring man will stay out
of the union.
The principle of unionism is right be-
cause it is right for men to organize
for their own protection. So long as
unionism is confined within the limits
of right, SO long will it continue to
flourish. But when its members at
tempt to prevent q man from exercis-
ing the lawful right to work, it becomes
tyrannical and arrogant and cannot
survive. Anyone who denies this sa-
cred right is not good American; he
violates his oath as citizen of the
United States and forgets that the Dec
laration of Independence says that,
"All men are entitled to the right of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness, !"
and this must include the right to la
Dor, for without work there would be
no happiness. G.S.

Since the summing up OF the
cotton outlook, as stated above,
there has been a week Of unrea-
sonably cold weather, which has
done much to iniure young cotton.
The outlook is now not so good.
The Commercial says furthermore:
ttIt begins to look as il the
Southern planters must from now

yield at least II, 0 900 bales OF
cotton each season under average
conditions of weather and Guilt

petitors will be sure to spring up
in other parts Of the world and
might ultimately cost the United
States something of her present
prestige in the worlds cotton
trade"
The increase OF acreage will de-
pend on the supply Of labor. OF
late years this has become a great
problem among our planters. II
is hoped, however, that this
problem will be satisfactorily
solved, for there has never been a
brighter outlook for the producer
of cotton. The negro labor, on
which the planter has so long de-
pended, does not supply the de-
mand, and it now looks as il this
will have to be supplemented by
some other kind of labor, II cot
ton is to be raised here in sufficient
quantity to supply the great and
growing demand in the far East.
We hope this can be done for the
raising and manufacture Of cotton
bids fair to make the Southern
states the richest and most pros
porous country in the world.

A western farmer ten years ago
pnt an K mark on a silver dollar
and came to town and spent it
with q merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back for
poultry and spent it again with the
home merchant. Four times in
six years that dollar came home to
him for produce and three other
times be heard Of it in the pockets
Of his neighbors. The last time
he lent it in change, nearly four
years ago, to Sears, Roebuck & Co,
the Chicago mail order house that
has amassed a hundred million
dollars by selling third class goods
at second class prices. He has not
seen the marked dollar since and
never will till the crack Of doom.
That dollar will never help build
up the town or country, never
bless or brighten the homes Of his
neighbors. He sent it entirely out
Of the circle of usefulness to him.

Mr.. Graham Dennis called at this
Office last Monday to make correction
with regard to his connection with the
inquest we referred to in our last issue.
Mr. Dennis says that Barleld, Corbett
and himself petitioned Coroner Brewer
to hold the inquest; that Barfeld and
Corbett served on the jury, bus he did
not; he actedas deputy to summon the
witnesses. Mr.. Dennis further says
that he joined in the petition because
one of the child's grandparents: Mr.. J..
C. Drose, told him while going to the
burying that ''the child was not sick a
minute" He also says, in his opinion,
the exhuming Of the body was unneces-
sary had the coroner examined the
witnesses first. Our information was,
and we stated that Dennis and Barfeld
served as jurors, but it was John Cor
bett and not Graham Dennis that sat
in Judgment on the case. Dennis
wanted the jury and became the officer

Honey.

According to writer in Health, hon.
ey is a valuable medicine and has
many uses. It is excellent in most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place Of cod
liver oil. Occasionally there is per-
son with whom it does not agree, but
most people can learn to use it with
beneficial results. Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer 1t to
butter. Honey is Laxative and seda'
tive, and in diseases Of the bladder and
kidneys it IS an excellent remedy.
It has much the same effect as wine
or stimulants, without their injurious
effects, and is unequaled in mead and
harvest drinks. AS an external applt-
cation it Is irritating when clear, but
soothing when diluted. In many places
it is much appreciated as remedy fol
Group and colds. In preserving fruit
the formic acid it contains makes q
better preservative than sugar sirup,
and it is also used in cooking and con-
fections. Honey does not injure tue
teeth as candies do.

house were subjected last Monday to
an annoyance which should not have
been permitted. 1t was the butcheriDg
of COW within a few feet of their resi-
dences. We understand that the but
cher had permission from the Intend
ant, sometime ago on account OF rain,
but if there is an ordinance against
butchering cattle within the town linn
its, no one has authority 70 grant such
a permit. The purpose OF the ordl-
nance is to protect the health OF the
town, and should not be elastic and
stretched to suit the convenience OF
ANYBODY. Either have a law that
everybody must obey and respect, or
wipe it off the books. We do not blame
the people living near the warehouse
to complain about their feelings being
disregarded, for it certainly is not
pleasant to smell the odors Of a butcher
pen, nor is it pleasant to see butcherlng
from window while sitting at the ia
bic. 1t is to be hoped that council will
not permit such thing to occur again.

At a meeting of the town council last
Monday night it was decided to con-
tract with MIR W. S. Harvin for twenty
arc lights, which action will receive the
approval of the citizens of this town.
The income of the town is sufficiently
large to have good light service: and
with beginning of twenty arc lights
we have no doubt that additional lights
will be put in later on: The town is
greatly protected if well lighted, and
# there is an arc light at every street
intersection we will have well lighted
town. We understand the cost OF these
lights are s175 each, and in our judg-
nent it is much cheaper than if the
town was to own and run the plant.
The step taken by council is a progress
sive one and is deserving of commen-
dation.
