Prof. Walter A. Wyckof. wh~ died

The Man Who Pays.

If there is any particular indi-
vidual in this world who should have
an extra star in his crown when he
shuft1eS off this mortal coil and takes
his seat with the saints above we
believe it is the man who, while toll
ing here below, paid his debts as they
came due, or at least made an honest
effort to do so. Really we believe
that debt-paying is going to be one
of the requisites necessary to pass
st. Peter, and that many a good
citizen" whose record is full of fla
grant lapses in this respect will have
serious trouble getting in at the
golden gate.
Too many people go through life
on the plan Of letting the man they
owe do the worrying. Too many of
us are prone to become careless when
our own sOrdid aims are in the bal
ance, and we need a wholesome re-
vival Of the sacredness of our obli-
cations. There is something wrong
in the makeup of the man who does
not worry about his debts.
Some individuals with means am
ply sufficient to pay that they owe
prefer to invest their money and
reap dividends, or store it in banks
strong box, while their creditors
noses are held to the grindstone;
others would pay if they had more
money than they need, but feel I'M
der no obligation to retrench or stint
themselves in order that the men
they owe may be paid; while others
still will not pay at all-they do not
contract debts with the intention of
paying them. The latter class are
undesirable in all that the term i'm
plies.
"The poor We have always with
YOU" and misfortunes are liable to
befall the man with the highest re-
spect for his obligations, rendering
it impossible for him to pay his debts.
but these form only a small per-
centage of the debtor class, and an
honest debtors inability is never
taken advantage of by an equally
honest creditor.
What an impetus would be given
to business, how many sleepless
nights, and how many failures would
be avoided if every man in Georgia
made a firm resolve tomorrow morn
ing to pay what he owes, as far as
lay in his power Millions of debt
would be discharged, credit and con-
fidence restored, and we would all
be UNNECESSARILY happier and none
any poorer.
Almost every business man in ev-
cry town and city in the country
has felt the blight of bad debts;
it is the milestone about the neck of
industrial prosperity. No man has
the right to take his neighbor's sub
stance without rendering value re-
ceived. In truth, the noblest work
OF God is an honest man.

Gone Forever.

Ten years ago a farmer put his
initials on a dollar bill The next
day he went to the nearest town
and spent it with a merchant. Be-
fore the year was out he got the
dollar back. Four times in six years
the dollar came back to him for
produce, and three times he heard
Of it in the pockets of neighbors.
THE last time he got it back, four
years ago, he sent it to mail order
house. He never has seen that dol
lar since, and never will. That dol
lar bill will never pay any more
school tax for him, will never build
or brighten any of the houses of the
community. He sent it entirely out
of the circle of usefulness to him
self and his neighbors.
"Patronize your local merchant,
who helps you pay your taxes, sup
port your schools and churches and
lends helping hand in times of
sickness and trouble"

JUST WHERE 1T STARTED.

From the Columbus Ledger.
Including Saturday the extra Ses-
sion of the Georgia legislature has
been in session eighteen days, at
total estimated cost of about $28,-
600, and so far as can be ascertained
it has accomplished nOthing-it is no
nearer solution of the convict lease
problem, for the solution of which
it was called, than when it met on
the 25th. OF August. In other words
it appears that the legislature must
now start again where it began when
it met eighteen days ago The Ques-
ton, in view of this fact, very nat
urally arises: if it takes eighteen
days for the legislature to do nothing
how long will it take for it to do
something?
If, after having wrangled over the
matter for nearly three weeks, the
house and senate cannot agree upon
any proposition it would seem to be
the proper thing for the extra session
to come to an end and thus save the
people of the state the useless ex-
pense that is entailed upon them by
it. If nothing can be done, and it
seems that it can't, then what is the
use in wasting more of the peoples
money?
While we know that Governor
Smith would like very much for his
administration to settle the convict
question it seems that it will be I'M
able to do so, on account of the in
ability Of the Legislature to agree.
Therefore, it appears that the only
thing to be done is for the legisla-
ture to adjourn sine die and go home.
1t is doing the state absolutely no
good so far as can be discerned, and
possibly it is doing a great deal of
harm. At all events it is costing a
great deal of money.

THE FARMER AND HIS COTTON.

If the farmers bring their products
to market to sell to the highest bid
der whenever there is a reasonable
plenty prices will always be remun-
erative. Should any one of our mer-
chants ship goods here for which he
paid a given price and offer his en-
tire stock from day to day until
closed out to the highest bidder he
would beyond doubt take a loss. 1t
is, therefore, essential to the we'll
being of the farmer that he handle
his crops as prudent man would
handle any other line of business
il requires some concert of action
on the part OF farmers to accomplish
this, just az it requires concert of
action among labOrers to maintain
the wage scale. If farmers sell their
cotton in the face of a decline what
is there to stop the decline? Ger
tainly the spectators prefer to buy
cheap and hold for rise. The mills
prefer TO buy cheap, as the raw ma
terial cuts some figure in the profit
Of manufactured goods AS no one
farmer can say when a fair price may
prevail it follows that organization
is necessary. If the south can get
ten cents for middling cotton this
year and supply the world with what
it needs it will mean prosperity for
the south and no hardship to any
other sections. Perhaps fifteen cents
is beyond the value of raw cotton
in times like these which have pre-
vailed for sometime, but should the
market be allowed to remain below
ten cents Georgia and all the rest
Of the cotton belt will face a hard
year.
