SOCIOLOGY
Character is capital and Reputation its best currency.

The Grocery Merchant sells quickest the flour he can recommend. but it's got to make good bread to bring the customer back; the shoe dealer makes and holds customers by selling shoes of good repute for wear.
 Folks judge the value of shoe like they do that of man---by results; it's the record that really counts. .ss. s3
 Recognizing these truths, and with desire to help our customers, we organized a Long Service Contest, offering a prize for the best record of service from some of our established brands. .s.
 The purpose of this primarily was to encourage people to take better care d their shoes. and next. to get an authentic record of their qualities, that others may knowthe realeconomy in wearing Ceorgia- made shoes. .:a.ss
 The awards were made on Dec. 3Ist. We give below few from the hundreds of records we have on 6le: 2 5. V. :

 New York, Jan. .11.--one influence that Will do much to start 1909 on a prosperous career Is the disbursement of enormous sums in payment of in- terest on bank deposits. stocks and other securities which will take place during the first half of January. Over . Q 100000 is being paid out in in- e = It to the savings banks depositors fin this city alone. far greater sum than eyer before has been distributed in this way, The interest payments on the securities of stocks and bonds of railroads and other, big corpora tions' held in New York will amount to rss0.ooe,00o CT, more and the dis bursemehts of smaller concerns in profits and interest payments are es- timated at s25.o0O.O00. The payment of this grand total of over &loQ.000.000 is expected to give a decided impetus to Investment and building activities, signs of which are even now begin ming to appear.
 The same. influences are. operative of course throughout the country a alth cugh in no one. locality do The amounts paid out in this wsy equal those dis tributed in New Yor1R. Added to this are the profits made by merchants from the exceptionally good holiday trade which was experienced through out the country according to reports received here, and 1t. would seem that the. tide. of prosperity Is likely to rise very rapidly during the coming twelve months. cf

The Passing Toll Bridge.

The toll bridge at one time repre-
sented a commendable spirit Of enter
prise In the early history of the
country, roads and bridges frequently
were needed in advance of the ability
Of local communities to provide them,
and the men who formed companies
and built turn pixies and toll bridges
were justly looked upon as public
benefactors But the toll gate has
long since been done away with on
highways, and the toll bridge is fast
disappearing. In New York and
Pennsylvania the movement is being
pushed to abolish the toll bridge alto
gether. A bill has already been pass
ed by the legislature at Albany pro-
viding that supervisors may inaugu-
rate condemnation proceedings, under
which any toll bridge may be bought,
the state to pay SO per cent. of the
total cost, the county 35 per cent. and
the town or city Is per cent. Where
two counties are involved, the county
cost shall be divided between them,
and the same rule aplies when two
towns or cities are interested.

Back to the Farm.

A correspondent Of the American
writes that paper as follows
"The practical farmer thinks that
the Little Land League is cutting the
farms too small 1t is not, for they
are trying to establish truck and poul-
try farming, not cattle farming. The
people (some of whom have never
even seen a farm before) are not
given a plot Of land and left. to man
age it alone as best they can. They
are shown the best and easiest way
to go about it by those who have had
experience; fertilizer, gardening tools,
ETC., are provided at cost price, and if
they are unable to pay at the begin
ming they can wait till their crops
bring in enough money.
Under the supervision of the Phil
adelphia Vacant Lots Cultivation AS
sociatiOn 500 families are now living
healthy outdoor lives and earning q
living, each on small piece Of land.
It is better to haVG u smaller piece
OF land and be able to look after it
properly than have a large one half
neglected and half cultivated, es-
Decially for those new to it who
could never attend to all that has to
be done on a farm.
NO matter how small the farm, it
is surely better than living in the
sIums of aIIarge city, and it has been
proved that on a very little land a
living can always be made

Problems for Democracy.

The sole argument for bloated bud
gets would vanish, if the great dem
ocracies were known to be bent upon
peace. The Hague Tribunal is we'll
enough in it's way, but something more
definite and decisive is needed. There
must be an unequivocal mandate for
the cessation of diplomatic intrigue
and the reduction of armaments. A
proposal of this sort sounds utopian,
to be sure, but the day is not distant
when the intolerable load of the taxes
will bring the issue to a head. The
civilized world has to choose between
reform and collapse. To say that the
problem is insoluble is to confess that
democracy is failure. What matters
it whether king taxes you to death,
or you perform the Office for your
self? What avails it to live beneath the
sway of republic If treasure be
wasted with light heart? Of what
use are the paper muniments of free
dom if the taxgathereE takes the sub
stance, as he did for the Caesars and
the Bourbons? The richest nations
are on the road to the poorhouse and
it is for them to retrace their steps,
thus setting the example to the less
fortunate whom their folly lures, on.

A Bank OF Results.

To pay depositors on interest bear
ing accounts over $500, dividends to
stockholders $4,000. and add to the
surplus fund $4,000 each year means
considerable to the community for
tunate enough to have such banking
institution in it's midst. Such is the
history of The Sykesville National
Bank and goes to show what an up
to-date board of directors and wide
awake hust1ing officers can accom-
plish OF the, $500 paid on interest
accounts and dividends much is earn
ed away from this neighborhood and
put in circulation at home, which
certainly must be felt.
The management of this institution
early learned that the interests of the
bank and it's depositors were mutual
and following along this line they
have done much to build up this Sec
ton.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT BAL
TIM0RE.

A large number of representative
Democrats from Baltimore city and
the various counties OF the state, was
held at the Rennert Hotel on Wednes-
dav evening last at the invitation or
Hon. Murray Vandiver, chairman OF
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee. The purpose of the informal
gathering was to talk over the polltl-
cal situation, preliminary to entering
actively upon the campaign, when is
Immediately before us. The domi-
nant subject of discussion was the
suffrage amendment, which will be
submitted to the voters Of the state
at the coming election. It was the
opinion of the Governor, Senator
Rayner, Senator John Walter Smith
and other prominent Democrats who
smoke, that the suffrage amendment
should be made the paramount issue
in the coming campaign. And IN this
. we fully agree. 1t is beginning to be
understood in the North, as it has
always been well understood in the
South, that unlimited negro suffrage
is an unbearabIe menace to every
community in which this condition ex-
lists
The enfranchisement of that race,
lust out of slavery and totally un-
fitted to exercise the right of suffrage,
was not only crime against the
white people, but against the negroes
as we'll They were forced into a po-
sition for which they have little nat
ural qualification and no preparation
at ALL
But the exigencies of the Republi-
can party, in the judgment of their
leaders, made it necessary for them
to do So And so, improper and out
rageous as the thing was, it was done.
Now, the people of Maryland, in
adopting this amendment, will have
an opportunity of correcting this
wrong, as most of our sister States
of the South have done. No greater
SOOQ COulQ come 10 luS COIOiGu p1OplS
of this state, than to take them out
Of politics This talk about making
Maryland a one-party state by elm
mating the negro vote is simply clap
trap and used for a sinister purpose.
Maryland is today practically one
party state. The Democrats have
shown their ability over and over
again to beat the Republicans, with
all their negro cohorts. So that it
is more than a party question. 1t is
the question Of purifying our elector-
ate, by eliminating the ignorant and
irresponsible negroes from it.
What good citizen can object to
that?

Better Than ScarecrOws.

Crows and blackbirds frequently
pull up planted corn. The Farm
Almanac says that the best preven-
tive is to tar the seed, as follows. Put
the seed into pail and pour on
enough warm water to cover it. Add
a teaspoonful of coal tar to a peck
and stir well. Throw the seed out
on a basket to drain, and then stir
in few handfu1ls of land plaster
(gypsum or air-slacked lime). This
will protect the corn, save the lives
of mother birds, and not leave the
young ones to starve in their nests.
