The Newton Record has stirred
the editor of the Fayette Chronicle
into resuming the tripod, by alleg-
ing that recent squib in that sheet
was written by Judge Truly. The
Editorial columns of that paper have
been CONSPICUOUS of late for the edi-
torials that were not there;original we
mean, as silent as tomb has Scho-
Der remained, while history is max
ing in his county over the Whiskey
question. Probably he has been busy
kicking a job press or off fishing. If
he happened to have any on that mat
ter it did not get into print, or else
we failed to find it.

Sincerely yours,
G. p. EuBANKs
B. W. MCLEOD.

This name represents a young man,
now living at Merrill and in charge
of the Bank at that place. Ben was
reared in an atmosphere of rugged
honesty, and profited by his environ
ments. Several years ago he took a
course of book keeping in the Massey
business College at Birmingham.
Ala, this fitted him for handling
books and monies. Since then his
steadiness and sober application has
called him successfully to the posi-
tions of first; manager of a large re-
tail business in this town for short
while, then deputy clerk of the courts,
then as assistant cashier i'm the Bank
of LeakesviIle and now to the respon-
siblc position he holds as Cashier and
virtually manager of the money insti-
tuition in his present place of resi-
dence. All of which trusts he has
filled creditably. If we were forced
to pick out from the young men of
our county one who will fill the bill
and be perfectly reliable as watcher
over and accounting for the money
bags for the county, we don t believe
we could pick out one, who would
give any more general satisfaction
than Ben Mcleod. But the picking
is not left to us. The yeomanry of
the Free State of sGreene have this
job. or course there will be other
aspirants for this job, but the Her
AID is safe in saying that Ben will be
right to the front in the running.

Time Limit Extended.

Since becoming better acquainted
with the enormous amount of money
its taking from our people to get
their down timber to market. and re-
Wondering too that tax paying sea-
son Is on hand, we have concluded
to extend the time for putting into
effect the New Subscription price,
which is 81 when paid-in-advance
only, and $1.25 when not so, till May
1st. 1907. thus giving those who re-
main IN arrears, a chance to recover
from tax-paying and get their money
back into pockets from expenditures
on timber, and get round to ms to
at the 81 rate.

This paper does mt propose to lung
into a wrangle with the Noel editors
that have rushed to his defense, the
Lucedale Plaindealer with its boo
business included, over whether Or
not there exists iustifications for al
leging UNCONVENTIONAL manouverings
in his behalf No, sir gentlemen,
you don't poke off on this child the
responsibility for condition appear
ing with which we had no more to do
with than expressing in printed
words. Mr.. Noel denies its being an
actuality: we gave him chance to
clear himself of my connivance to
that end, If his overzealous workers
who had or were so near on the verge
of resorting to such tactics will lis
ten to and be controlled by their prin-
cipal' s dec aration, the Development
will cease. and with it the imputation
will disappear and the cause of Noel
not suffer. Those are the conditions,
s1ort-sightedness of Morris and 9th
ers to the contrary, not"ithstand-
ing.

II there is one thing above another
IA young man should be ashamed OF
doing, it is loafing without aim, pur-
pose or profit. on the streets or in

you have nothing to do, stay at home

young man with any self respect will

full and malevolent in its effect as
that voluntary idleness termed loaf
ing.

old, If you did but show an ordinary
icivility toward those common articles
of housekeeping-your wiyes-if you
would give them a hundred and six

almost choked them with before you
were married, fewer women would
seek for other sources OF affection.
Praise your wife then, for al, the
good qualities She has and you may
rest assured that her deficiencies are
