There are times in almost everybodys
life when debt paying becomes diff
cult from sickness, death, Doctors bills,
accidents and loss of usual salary.
But there are people who deliberately
buy things on a credit--without any
reasonable assurance of being able to
meet their obligations. There are
preachers who have thus strained their
credit, and as 9 result-their pulpit eff
forts not only fall fiat. but they. lose
what is their choicest posession-an hon
est name. / don't care who IL is, that
thus endangers their good name, 1t VIII
react upon them as long as they live
thereafter.
The primitive Baptists made debt pay
ing one of their cardinal virtues. and
there has been time when the Meth
odist discipline retired any Of its preach
ers who became involved in debt. The
preacher had TO get out until he purged
himself in regard to debt and then ne
could return and preach against those
who bought goods without expecting to
pay for them
Some of our great conferences meet
annually, pass the characters of the
mebers, (Which is equal to BradstreeI 5
endorsement, and yet they know that
these men are heavily in debt, some
times to their own Pensioners. Such
men should be retired and thus save the
good name of the church. I can well
remember when a Methodist preacher
in Georgia was allowed $3.50 each year
for hinnsel, the same for wife and sSO
for each child living In their homes.
the discipline forbade them going in
debt. II they became involved, they
must get out and straighten with their
creditors before they could appear as
Gods ambassador in the pulpit. But we
are told they can't live on that now"
grant IL. but they should be COM
PEELED to live on the salary that is guar
anteed TO them or get out and get
straight with their creditors.
We have gone daft on show and pa
role. We run rival races with other
religious denominations in regard to
preachers salaries, and when confer
ence meets the presiding elders get up
and pronounce their preachers to be
'blameless" In life and conversation,
when the are hopelessly in debt and
plunging along to try to put off their
creditors
God is not served In any such way.
This may largely account for the de-
crease in religious zeal. In the old
times there were revivals which made
conversions numerous and the turning to
God meant debt paying as well as clean
life In all other directions.

1912
During the late cold weather you
might see a hog-killing performance on
any of the roads leading out OF our
town.
The corn crop was good and the hogs
are in good order.
With hog and hominy they can snap
their fingers at the saw-belly meat that
they have been buying with hard cash
from the west until the prices were sim
ply out of reason.
l notice also more attention to chick
en- raising than ever before. Nothing
pays so well to the amount invested as
chickens and other fowls. Eggs are bring
ing enormous prices. and this usually
happens just before Christmas If our
people will devote more time to hogs and
poultry they can almost provide them
selves with sugar and other groceries
from the sale OF chickens and eggs. HOG
and hominy will do the rest.

Best Way.

The speediest and easiest way to
benefit mankind would be for every
person to reform their own life re-
CARELESS of what others are doing.
Such a policy would bring about
change for the better in both public
and private affair, and so after the
relationship of mankind that every
one would strictly mind his own bust
ness. Meddlesome persons who are
continually prying into other peoples
affair and carrying tales between
friends and acquaintanceS create a
great deal of mischief are best con-
tented when they can spread scandal.
1t seems more natural for them to
speak i'll OF person then to utter
words Of praise, and their habit of
gossiping becomes so fixed that they
can talk scandals almost unconscious
ly. 1t is just DIS easy TO say good
words for friends and acqudin lance,
even if not wholly deserved, as it is
to speak i'll of them, and the effect on
the community is al ways benficial in
u general way. scandal gathers
strength as it travels by word or
mouth and can never be recalled
when once in circulation. Try speak
ing we'll OF everyone and see what a
change it will make in your own hap
piness as well as in the welfare eof
others.

PHIL A. RUSH, For State Revenue Agent.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GREENE COUNTY,
My opponent, Mr.. Adams, is writing
to the voters, telling them he made
the office OF State Revenue Agent,
and that he has held it long time,
but he does not say how long. He
has held it more than twenty-five
years, and has made more than a
half million dollars out of it. Is this
not enough for him? This Office was
created by the people, and the people
alone have the right to say who shall
hold it.
If you believe me worthy and COM
petent | will thank you for you'll
support.
