Fortunate Men Of PROMINENCE.

Admirers of great, rich or famous
people often bestow their wealth upon
the objects Of their regard. The Ger
man emperor heads the list of lucky
ones SO favored. His receipts in
money and real estate during the last
ten years would, it is said, make a
millionaire envious. Following prece-
dent, Hamburg merchant prince left
more than 100000 to the emperor's
chancellor, whom Kaiser William inn
mediately created Prince" Buelow.
William Jennings Bryan recently
came by wealth in the same way. In
England Lord Allerton has received
100000 from an admirer of his public
career and DR.. Jameson inherits a sum
one-flfth larger under the will of Mr..
Belt. Queen Victoria was very for
tunate in her admirers, of whom the
wealthiest was Nield, who bequeathed
to her the sum of $1.250,000.

LITTLE HAZEL EARP-

We your committee appointed by the
Palestine Sunday school, to draft resolu-
tons of respect to the memory of little
Hazel Sunshine carp, beg to submitthe
following;
Little Hazel was the baby daughter Of
H. G. and Eta carp, and was years
and II days old when the death angel
called her home. Little Hazel was in
the field burning cornstalks when her
clothing became ignited, and before the
fire could be extinguished she was so
badly burned she died about five hours
later. She bore her suffering with great
patience, telling her parents shecouldn't
be with them long and not to grieve after
her. She was laid to rest May "a, 1907,
at Palestine Cemetery. Funeral services
were conducted by the pastor, Brother
John w. Carnal.
Whereas, in the death of little Hazel
Sunshine the home was made dark, for
she was indeed what her name implied,
thesunshine and angel of the household /;
and,
Whereas, the Sunday school has lost
one of its brightest jewels--one who al
ways answered to the roll call by saying
verse from the Holy Scriptures. Her
last verse was from Psalms chapter 1917
and 18th verse: 'Then they cried unto
the Lord in their troubles and He saved
them in their distresses;" and
Whereas, this Sunday school and COM
munity offer the bereaved family our
sympathy, and commend them to Him
who says: Il take these little lambs
and lay them in my breast; protection
they shall find in me, in me be ever
blest." Therefore, be is
Resolved, that & copy of these resolu-
tons be spread upon the minutes of the
Palestine Sunday school.
Resolved, second, that copy be lurn-
lshed the bereaved family.
Resolved, third, that copy each be
sent to THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE and the
Methodist for publication.

one cent will ever return to bless your
community; to clothe the naked, to
feed the hungry or to educate the
ignorant!
This. is certainly a misguided, III
advised policy; if self preservation is
the first law of nature, the fact just
stated should cause lovers of this
country to think. Continue this policy
and what follows? The value of real
estate decreases, local improvements
cease, material progress stops, the
whole country suffers.
The money of community repre-
sents in a business sense just so much
possibility, and every honest occupa-
ton is injured in proportion as that
IS withheld or sent elsewhere.
ASA certain rural community, this
eial order and warning was issued:
Mess BAD ROADS are fixed there
vlll be no rural delivery at ALL 1t is
Impossible to put roads in repair with
out money This lack of means can
not be traced to poor crops, for the
harvest just gathered in has been
superintendent. Men cannot support
and build up business concerns in dis
tant cities without sacrificing the
local good Is it fair to establish the
city by depriving the country of its
just support?
Many hold forth the idea that the
country Is the feeder Of the city.
This is only partially true. That doc
trine has been preached till the text
is threadbare. 1t would be much
wiser for men to get new text and
talk and work the country up, then
allow the city, including its mail or
der Octopus, to work its own prob
lens awhile. This, instead of being
selfshness, would be the finest order
of common sense. A more marked
feeling of brotherhood interest is
sadly needed in the country on this
particular point.
The rural population complain OF
lack of facilities and conveniences; in
order to obviate this, let s200,000,00O

country merchants, among the hum
bier storekeepers, then observe what
will follow. The improvements would
be marked. Social conditions would
be greatly ameliorated. A new order
would maintain in the home and over
the broad acres of the farm and best
of all, the social spirit of brotherhood
would be felt as never before.
Listen to these thoughtful words
from Gov. Folk, of Missouri: I'VE
are proud of our splendid cities, and
we want to increase in wealth and
population, and we also want our
country towns to grow. We wish the
city merchants to build up, but also
desire the country merchants to pros
aer. / do NOT BELIEVE in the mall
order citizen. If "a place is good
enough for a man to live in and to
make his money in, it is good enough
for "a man to SPEND HIS MONEY
in. Patronize your own town papers,
build them up, and they will build
your town up in increased trade and
greater opportunities"
These are the words of wisdom and
foresight from a prudent, patriotic
man. As it is to-day, these words are
expressive of the opposite of what
should be in many country district.
The mail order citizen may think he
Is gaining; the truth is he is saving
off the limb upon which he sits. Dis
aster only can follow The mail or.
der citizen makes his money locally
and scatters it abroad in a field where
it is not needed; this is unfair to both
the town and to its merchants This
'shortsighted citizen complains of the
size and character of his town paper,
at the same time he pursues a policy
which tends to destroy both. Then,
publishers ought to be careful how
they exploit and give publicity to the
mail order houses; even if they are
paid well for the space, it reacts dis
,astrously on the towns best pros

A far seeing, provident business
man we'll not pursue a policy which
is Subversive of his best interests.
He will not destroy his own house,
neither will he jeopsrdize his bust

of that age an impossibility.
Within the horizon of every coun-
try resident there exists an evil which
is yearly assuming greater proper
tions. We refer to the mail order
business which last year amounted
in money sent TO Chicago alone to
$200,000,000. Two hundred million
dollars diverted from it's legitimate
channel. Two hundred million dol
lars sent out to enrich those who
were not needy. while those at home
sorely in need of support were passed
by coidly; the local trade was i'm
poverished just to that extent. This
golden trade reviving stream should
have remained within it's own chan
mel, thus enriching its own soil, and
causing desert places to bloom and
