INGENIOUS JOHNNIE.

Mother had a bright red apple
which she wished to give to the
children, at the same time teach
ing the little brother lesson in
generosity. Johnnie had q pecu.
liar fondness for apples.
Calling him to her side, she
said, "Now, dear, mama has a
nice, rosy apple to give you, and
she wants you to be generous. "
That word was not in Johnnie's
vocabulary, so he said, Name,
what do you mean by being gen.
erous ?'
"Oh, dear, that means you are
to divide the apple into two parts
and give sister the larger"
Johnnie was silent. Suddenly
his face frightened, as he handed
the apple again to his mother,
saying, Mama, give it to sister
and tell her to be generous. -

1t Is easy to see that the Repub-
lican leaders and spielers do not
find the Democratic national plat
form of 1908 q wholly pleasing
document. 1t worries them in
their waking hours and while they
are asleep, and their efforts to
find flaws in it's planks never
cease. The Republicans are very
decidedly on the defensive this
year, and the Democratic platform
has been largely instrumental in
placing them in that position. The
generous attention which Mr.. Taft
devoted to it in his Ciucinnati
speech shows that he, like the
other leaders of his party, is wor-
ried by the position which the
Democracy has taken on questions
which are important issues in the
present conflict. Mr.. Bryan's
speech of acceptance will be the
next "hig noise" of the campaign,
and as reply to Mr.. Taft's rath.
er flat appeal will be just such a
solar plexus blow as is rendered
possible by the Republican party's
inevitable POSITION and its candi-
dates feeble call to arms. Alba

LETTER TO X. E. BUTLER,
Marietta. Ga.

Dear Sir: Mr.. S. @. Ashes house in
Yorkville, s, c., was painted Devoe 81
years ago and hadn't been painted
since; it is handsome house and the
paint was in good condition when we
were there three years ago. Do we
therefore say that Devoe wears 81 years
in South Carolina? No; on the sandy
coast, where the sun is hot and the fly
ing sand cuts the bark off trees, Devoe
is the only paint that wears more than
one year.
Localities differ Devoe doesn't differ
1t is the paint that takes least gallons
to cover job and makes least cost and
wears longest; how long depends on
sun wind sand etc.
Yours truly
F. w. DEvoK & Co.

LOCAL TAXATION A PROTECTION.

EDITORS JoURNAL-If teaching
for a salary we're the only thing
that recommends the teaching
profession to the prospective young
teachers, the profession would be
benefited very little by their appli.
cations. All wide.awake people
know that unless a man finds
beauty, inspiration and pleasure
IN his work, he is not likely to
succeed; he will be q disgrace to
the profession which he is blindly
following, A man cannot succeed
at anything of which he is
ashamed, and for which he must
continually be making apologies
to his friends; he must love his
work.
While this is all true, it must
still be remembered that there are
other professions that are offering
premiums for talent. Also, q
young man must work at some
thing which will bring him returns
sufficient to cover his outlay and
also remunerate him for his work.
BY offering the money, we will get
directed towards our schools some
of the rare talent.
Again, man who has an eye
singled to beauty and worth, does
not consider the cost; he considers
the job. Who would employ q
poor workman to do a fine and in
tricate piece of work? Who, but
the careless, is content with poor
work when they can get good work?
Now, if this is true with regard
to inanimate and material things,
much more should it be so with
regard to the education of the
child. This tax cannot be more
than one-half cent on the dollar,
and can be made less if the people
30 desire.
G. G. Pinckney, representing
our country and the sentiments
of our people, said: millions for
defense, but not one cent for trib-
ute." We should voice this senti-
ment to-day, realizing that if our
boys and girls are educated, the
money with which they were edu-
Gated was spent not for tax, but
for protection.
Education is a protection to the
home because it gives high ideals
of life, turns the attention of the
children towards the thoughts of
noble men and women, and makes
more enjoyable the common every
day affairs of life.
Education is a protection to a
community, because it gives the
people right views of advancement
and inspires them to progress.
Education is a protection to the
church, for those who have studied
know best how to carry on God
work.
Education is a protection to a
county, because it gives the people
a progressive spirit and fills them
with a desire TO excel, thus bring
ing about rapid advancement.
What has been said about home,
church, community and county,
can, In a rger measure, be said
about the State and government !;
for here we must have picked men
TO run our affairs.
But this will cost. Education
Is a jewel for which a large sum
must be paid. Let US then have
local taxation, and compel our
communities to have long terms
and better teachers.
