SENSIBLE TALK.

Because a minister of the Gospel
goes wrong and is fired from
the church, is no reason for the
members to lose confidence in
their faith or quit the church; and
the same principle applies to bank.

absolutely essential to the business
interests of the country as churches
are to the salvation of the soul of
man, and simply because one bank
here fails is no earthly reason why
the public should not trust the two
other banks, the National Bank,

Pike, which are safely Differed

All this talk about reduction of
cotton acreage is twaddle, and if
it did result in reduction. where
lies the assurance that good culture
on smaller area will not add to
rather than decrease the cotton
harvest? Safety lies in one line
and one alone the production of
abundance of corn. meat and other
farm supplies and putting the cot
ton crop to the profit account
There is no more profitable line Of
agriculture than cotton farming to
the home liver. and our southern
country abounds with men who
have solved the problem in that
way. But. as the old saying goes,

If increased enforcement of the
law and fines be considered, the
county prosecuting attorney of his
county has not only cost nothing,
but has been profitable.
All prejudice and politics should
be laid aside in this matter The
county attorney has a most i'm
portant part to play in the moral
reform of our State: religious de-
nominations favor an Office that
helps so vitally in upholding the
prohibition laws. Lincoln County's
record along this line is a revela-
tion and an assurance that such
laws can be enforced, and law
breakers brought to justice. with
an officer like the county attorney
so familiar with details and men in
tine county as to intelligently dis
pose of criminal matters in the
Circuit Court.
1t would be inconsistent on the
part of the Legislature and disloyal
to the county attorneys Of the
State. who we're elected by the
people last August, to abolish the
office at this time.
Regardless of the fact that the
abolition of the Office at this time
would entail hardship on the attor-
neys elected, since their affairs
have been adapted to the demands
upon them as officers, the matter
should be looked upon squarely as
serving the best interests of the
State and an actual saving to the
counties in Circuit Court and
Grand Jury work. In Lincoln
county at our last term. 25 true
bills were returned IN 5 days, de-
spite the difficulties of getting wit
nesses to appear, bad weather and
worse roads hindering.
The Leader does not expect the
office of County Attorney to be
abolished by the present sensible
and practical Legislatures body
whose patriotism is above partisan
politics and the personal prejudices
that but stultify and hinder wise
measures.
The matter might be deferred
and the attorneys thus be given
time to prove the advantages in
herent in the Office, in the enforce
ment of law for the next two
years.
The experience Of Lincoln
county calls for the Office to be
enthroned on othe statutes of the
State 1t is too important and
vital to be left optional with coun-
ties. where the blind tiger element
and their sympathizers in the
counties that need it most. and
in counties where large cities con-
tanning another element, would
unite to defeat it.
Let the Legislature be guided by
what the Office has already accom-
pIished.

DIRTY EGGS DECREASE VALUE
Agricultural Department. Estimates
Loss to Farmers at $5,ooo,ooo

While there are few egg producers

ly.
This loss is very largely brought
about by not gathering the eggs often
enough. In wet weather more dirty
eggs are found than at any other time.
This is caused by the fact that the
hens feet are often covered with mud
or other filth, and in going on the nest
to lay she soils the eggs already in
the nest.
An insufficient number of nests Is
often the cause of many of the dirty
eggs found. Eggs are laid on the
ground and around the hay and straw
stacks, and becoming stained, are
classed as "dirties" Again, when toe
many eggs are allowed to remain in a
nest some are broken and many of the
others become smeared with broken
yolks. This condition is often brought
about by allowing the broody hens to
use the same nests with the layers.
On farm where one nest to every
four hens is provided and the nests
are kept clean and we'll bedded, it is
found that very few dirty eggs are
produced.
After gathering the eggs, care
should be taken not to put them where
they will become heated, or near oil,
onions, or other vegetables, as they
readily absorb odors.
