When the farmers of the south pay
as much attention to the production
of things to eat as they o do for
raising cotton then will they become
really prosperous and the South enjoy
the full measure of its inherent great
ness. The farmers of the South are
gradually waking up to the truth OF
this, after having received repeated
hard knocks for their failure 10 OBJ
serve it.
Real in this issue of the ARGUS
notice of a lost note. It is refreshing
to learn in every day life of such
plain old-fashioned honesty. a man
dies, a debt isdue him, no one knows
of the transaction except the party
owing the debt, and no demand
whatever Is made for the money, but
the party owing same goes to the adj
minstratOr, states the In~debtness land
pays same.
Mr.. M. ]. Best returned home this
morning from a combined business
and pleasure trip to Richmond,

demonstration of a peoples love and
sorrow he has ever witnessed OF ever
expects to again.
The good citizen is not the man
who simply works for himself, and
his family, regardless of the interests
of others. The truly good citizen i.
the nan who putsnOstumbling block
in the way of his feIIoWInan, but is
ever ready to lend a helping hand tC
his brotherman in distress, and point
out TO discouraged ones the path OF
independence and hope.
The rains have come just right and
we have never known a finer season
to getastand of cotton. If the wealth.
er is as as favorable all over the
Southern States, and continues to bt
favorable, it is reasonable to anticip.
ate a great crop of cotton. However
the good work of organization
among the farmers will eventually
bear fruit. They now realize as never
before that their wv safety anc
hope is to decrease the amount O
cotton raised.

Men who have put their money
into the various factories of Colds.
boro have been the real benefactor;
of the community. The nan who
simply lends his money or puts it il
trade with ample security takes nc
risk whatever for the benefit of the
public. But the men who put theil
money in untired industries, thereby
giving employment to hundreds o.
people, thus helping all KINDS oi
business, are public benefactorS,
These are facts. Think them over.
