We know that the argument is gener-
ally made that the expenditure of
money now makes the pathof the next
generation easier. We doubt this very
much. 1t is our opinion that our
children will have their own problems
with which to deal and that is is un-
fair to them for the fathers Of today
to be preparing burdens for them In
order that luxuries for the present
maybe provided. Besides, it gives us
a fictitious present and begetS ideas
of spending and extravaganza thai
are not Wholesome to contemplate.
Let the country pay more as 1t goes
or have less. Don't unload present

large editions ~laggregating 81, 900

and universal that it exceeds that

book with like success depends upon
no sympathetic element for its
! strength. But it has on the part Of
the people the enduring feeling of per-
sonal confidence in the great moral
and intellectual integrity of its

1t has an equally PRONOUNCED adj
miration for his brilliant abilities,
and the untiriDg energy that enabled
him to cover the world in his noted
tour-and to photograph and describe
it in his inimitable Way. Without
official place Col. Bryan is everywhere
regarded, at home and abroad. as a
vital force in American affairs. AS d
student of men and Of government,
and of governmental conditions. his
observations and conclusions, p.o-

the great sale of his book, descriptive

Is Bond Crazy.

The board of supervisors uf Lee
Flore county has provided for the
assurance of 500, 900 in bonds sixty
Thousand of which is to be used in
improving the public roads of the
county and forty thousand dollars in
building bridges. We commend the
progressive spirit of the board but
doubt the wisdom of their judgement.
We understand LeFlore county al
ready has a right large bonded in
debtedness. The country seems to be
crazy on the bond business. States,
counties and cities are issuing long
time bonds. Their action in this
regard reminds us very much of what
is often said of the negro-he will
buy anything that he can get on
credit, and it looks like that the
country generally is about ready to
issue bonds for anything just so they
are to be paid in the years hence.

Letter to Grenada Mer. Co.

Dear Sirs: Here's a tale with a
point to it. Florida is the hard
Test state in the Union for paint.
Gilmore & Davis CO. Tallahas-
see, Florida, think they know
what paint can do in their climate;
they've been painting for s. years,
Devoe ten years; and they say
Devoe wars 10 years-thelr
words are: buildings we painted
Devoe 10 years ago are in good
condition of paint today"
They also say lead-and-oilwear
only one year there; Devoe 10
years!
Ten years is a long life time for
paint in Florida; longer than 20
in Maine. We don't dare say
that either is true as a general
fact in those States; but there are
such instances. .
If we should call the cost OF
Devoe in Florida half of the
usual cost of paint, it would be
too much; we suppose it's about
one third; there is SO much trash
there-the costliest paint is the
worst, and the worst is the cost
Hest everywhere.

THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
AS IT CONCERNS US.

SO far as our immediate section
is concerned, it is useless to spec
ulate on the causes which created
the disturbance in financial circles
in New York and the suspension
of a number of banking instltu-
tons there as we'll as at other
places in the country. Suffice 1t
/, say that it grew out of a gorged
coAA ton of the stock market
which placed cartain great mani
pulators in the attitude OF the
Irishman's hen that was set on
100 eggs. But the thing that con-
Germs us is self preservation. Be-
cause New York or Chicago or
some other city, perchance, has a
few cases of cholera, should be
no reason why we should con-
tract the disease too. On the con-
trary we should apprise ourselves
ofthe channels through which the
afhiction came to them and fortify
against it. In a condition like the
one through which New York is
now passing, it IS the little man,
the man of small means, the worst
hurt.
Suppose the capitalists loses
a few thousand, or even a
few millions if he is in that class,
with what he has remaining lie is
enabled to prey upon the man OF
small means and fitch from him
what he may have wrapped in the
wreckage that he might yet re,
deem. A designing person coull
scarcely be guilty of a thing that
would be more nearly a calamity
than to start a run on a solvent
banking institution.
A panic in any realm of life is alb
surd. 1t is a suicidal process. If {;
person is in iminent danger, to be.
come panic-stricken diSQualiieS hin
for getting out Of the Situation. W.
think some of the New York business
concerns have a failure coming t
them on account of their robbie
methods, but people should not ALLOW
these results, growing out Of eviden'
causes, to excite them to the extent
that they will tax the strength o
many excellent and helpftl lnStitu
tionS. Any banking institution
almost could be wrecked any day 10y
all the depoSitorS going for their de
positS in an endless stream. 1t is 81
foolish for people to thus wreck help
full enterprises. We are very glad e
say that the banking institutions o
Our own state are reporter in the yer,
best Of condition. New banks ar,
even being chartered every day.
We direct the attention of GU.
readers to the Statement
of the banks of Grenad;
which is published elsewhere
in this issue. 1t is certainly {;
great tribute to these institution!
that they are stalwart and strong
enough to do what they are do
ing. Their action exhibits d jus
and proper regard of trade con
ditions and the welfare of thei,
friends Of small means in tina
they are willing to do all that lie'
within them to protect the veal
from the strong. Our citizens
and indeed the entire patronage
of the banks, should give then
the most thorough cooperation
and support and do all that lie:
within them to maintain thu
splendid and absolute confidence
the banks now have in the mind
of the public. Such action OF
the part of the friends of the banl
makes certainty sure and fulnes
complete.
Institutions as wisely offlceret
as the banks of Grenada Away
look we'll to the future.
