Money That Goes Away From Home.

From the Monroe NEWSSTAND
Accepting an estimate that has been
made that the State of South Carolina
spent last year S11 100000 for canned
goods, Tom M. Morgan, Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce of Florence, S. c.,
figures in the Tradesman that the State of
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi,
Louisiana, North Carolina and South
Carolina, with their 16,496, 1852 people,
must have spent S7O,OOO,0O0 for canned
goods last year. And he says that this
immense amount of money went for picked
cucumbers and onions grown in the sand
dunes of Northern Indiana; for kraut, the
raw material for which grew in the stone
covered flats along the southern shores of
Lake Erie; for sweet corn grown in Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio; for
peas and beans from the great canneries
at Hoopeston, Ill.,; Strawberries from the
clay hills of Southern Illinois; tomatoes
from New Jersey and Maryland and vari-
Gus other places in the North; figs grown
in California and canned in Chicago
sweet potatoes from various canneries in
the North; canned beef from Chicago.
Then Mr.. Morgan says that this
SIC, 100000 that the South sent away last
year for canned goods is yet smaller than
the great sum paid for meat and flour and
other things that can be produced at home.
If each of the 16,496,85 people in these
seven Southern States consumes five
pounds of pork in a year and this pork
costs on an average of II cents pound
the States named are sending away ir
round numbers $40 100000 in payment Of
pork annually and as much more for for.
eign grown beef.

JUDGE Hall VIII Be Peoples Governor.

Judge Luther E. Hall, in accepting the
official nomination for Governor at the
hands OF the Democratic State Central
Committee, said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: Il desire
to thank you for the courtesy which
prompted this invitation to me to appear
before you, and to assure you that the
cordial good will implied by the invitation
is in the fullest measure reciprocated by
me towards you Individually, as we'll as
collectively.
Having just passed through heated
party contest, in which factional lines were
tightly drawn, it cannot be but gratifying
to us all who witness so many Manifesto
tons of good feeling and the disappear
ance of whatever of factional bitterness
and rancor may have been engendered.
By your action to-day, which is tanta-
mount to my election to the office of Gov
ernor, become the nominee, not OF any
faction, but of the Democratic party of
Louisiana, and am sure that all Demo-
Gratis, regardless of what their past fac
tional alignments or affiliations, will feel
the same desire for its success as they
would have had the nomination been made
by Democratic convention instead OF a
Democratic primary The method of
nomination does not alter in the slightest
degree the relation which the individual
Democrat sustains to his party.
We are all Democrats, devoted to the
best interests Of our great State. The
contest has been waged among US as such,
and the duty now rests upon US all alike
to labor together to the end that our
government may be conducted according
to Democratic ideals, and we may give
effect to the will of the people.
shall not enter upon the discharge OF
the duties of the office as candidate for
any other office, and it will not be my pur-
pose or desire to employ the powers in
trusted to me to build up any faction
within the party or encourage fractional
differences.
My sole aim and ambition will be to be
Governor for the whole people and as a
faithful public servant to do my full duty
to them as it may be given me to see ano
understand it.
Deeply sensitive of the grave RESPONSE
bility which will rest upon me, and the i'm
portance of the work to be undertaken,
ask the charitable indulgence of all anc
their friendly cooperation and assistance
4 In conclusion, beg again to thank 20,
and to express to each one my kind per-
sonal regard and best wishes.

Faith.

Marooned on the great ice fields Of Lake
Michigan, two men of Kenosha knelt in
prayer. 1t was bitter cold out there.
They had gone out duck hunting and when
they were ready to return found them
selves cut off by stretch of open water
And so they prayed.
On the shore the commander of life
saving station thought he saw dog
moving on the ice. He debated whether
to go after him and finally decided in the
dogs favor. Going for the dog, he found
the men-the men who had prayed.
So long as human thought presents
differences some men will say that the
prayer on the ice was answered and othe,
men will say that it was coincidence
But the fact is that these two marooneo
men prayed with faith, prayed hard
prayed on their knees in the cold, with the
ice moving under them and the open water
widening. And it would probably be very
difficult to bring either of those two mer
around to the contrary opinion az t
whether their prayers had been answered
Faith is wonderful thing. It makes
the difference between despair and hope

An Arraienment Of the Ring.

From the New Orleans Tmes-Demccrat.l
No more severe arraignment of the ring
could be made than that of Mr.. Sidney
Lewis, Chief Engineer of the New Orleans
Levee Board at a Seventh Ward meeting
Tuesday night; and it is the stronger be-
cause Mr.. Lewis was a Michel man in the
last campaign. He explains that he ac-
copied the position he holds under the
organization under conditions, and that
when he found that the pay roll was loaded
up with superflous employees, who leafed
instead of worked, he refused to sign it or
assume any responsibility therefor. He
does not confine himself to his own depart
ment, but attacks others as we'll, particu-
larry the City Engineers office, which he
styled ''an Augean stable,' and he gener-
ally exposed the rotten condition of affairs
OF all departments where the ring was in
control.
The trouble, Mr.. Lewis explained, is due
to the ward bosses. The Levee Board
itself was topheavy and had much larger
staff than there was any need for, and as
a result large proportion of the employees
were mainly engaged in loafing. OF the
seven inspectors, he said, not two earned
their salaries, and it cost nearly seven
times as much to clean the levees in Or
leans as it did in the neighboring Pont-
chartrain Levee District. The employees
were practically appointed by the ward
bosses, and if a man was discharged for
cause the influence of the boss who had
appointed him was sufficient to reinstate
him, course which was naturally ruinous
to discipline.
The result of all this mismanagement
was that the board was hard pressed fnan
cially; and, Mr.. Lewis predicted, would
soon not be able to do any more work un-
less the Legislature came to its assistance,
provided more money for it, ordered a
policy of strict retrenchment, the stoppage
of all leaks and the putting in effect OF
certain greatly needed economies and re-
forms, such as the reduction in the force
of inspectors and other employees.
This was the purpose of Mr.. Lewis
speech-to call attention to certain evils
existing in the Orleans levee system
which needed legislation and correction
The Legislature has already been largely
difficult work to do, and it is absolutely
necessary to discuss at this time all the
various departments, their flaws and de-
fects, SO as to enable the General Assem-
bly, to act intelligently in its work. The
problem in this particular case is, after all
pretty much the same as in all other de.
partments-to rescue the levee boards from
politics, to free this particular Orleans
board from the domination of the bosses
to get rid Of the sinecures, and see tina
the levee work is done economically ant
efficiently.

Last Friday morning two progressive
highwaymen, in the heart of the downtown
district of New York City stole 200 in
currency from taxicab and made good
their escape in waiting automobile. The
money was being transported from one
bank TO another, in the care of two mes
sengers and a chauffeur, when the two
robbers sprang into the taxicab, covered
the three with guns, beat the messengers
into insensbiIity and then quietly boarded
their waiting car and were soon swallowed
up by the maze of traffic. Such is the
uncertainty of police protection.

On the farm-a properly conducted

On the farm-a properly conducted
FARMS one ideal place to live. And
when we as Nation shall have learned
this a step forward will have been taken
that will be of lasting benefit to us as a
nation for centuries yet to come. For
some years past it has been the tendency
of the better class of our young people OF
the country to drift to the cities. TINS
misguided practice has held good so long
until it has become an evil and stumbling
block in the path of progress. BY reason
of the fact that the young people OF the
country districts go to the cities to live
these centers of population become con-
gested and a reduction in wages follows.
The owners and operators OF the big in
dustries of the cities have been quick to
noe this tendency above referred to and
have craftily given employment to the
young single man or woman from the
country at every opportunity, and partlcu-
larly when it would displace some older
head on whom others were dependent
Thus pancs have resulted among the
working classes. Nor is this the only evil
outcome. Witness the advanced cost OF
living because of the lessening populace OF
the farms. Let US profit by the downfall
of older nations. Let US heed the call OF
the day-"Back to the Farm"-for on the
farm is in truth delightful place to live
II it is not to those who are on farms, II
could and should be made SO.
