Will the South's Future be
Worthy of the Past.

| To whom much has been
given, of him will much be re-
quired.
To an extent greater than
can be fully depicted in words
or fully comprehended even by
the most thoughtful student of
this unique situation the South
has been given resources for
industrial and agricultural
prosperity for world encircling
commerce and for general ma
terial upbuilding
In the olden days prior to
eighteen and sixty the South
proved itself worthy to hold
these resources as trustee for
their utilization.
Since eighteen and sixty-iive
the South has proven equally
as worthy of this trust. De
spite almost overwhelming OBJ
stncles and burdens of many
kinds, the South since eighteen
and siXty-iive has to it's credit
very remarkable achievements.
In what the old South did in
the utilization of these resour-
ces, and of what its people have
done between eighteen an d
sixty five aud the present, this
section can well afford to take
pride. In these two periods of
it's life the South has proved
itself worthy of the trust com
mitted to it through it's endow-
ment by nature with it's une-
lqualed combination of advan-
tages.
What of the future? is the
question which the world now
has right to ask.
Will the coming years show
a people OF the same stamina as
those who have gone before
Will coming generations match
those that have passed away?

Distinction Of Condition Should Be
Forgotten If the Ideal Ever is to
Be Attained.

Perhaps there is no feeling more
subtle, more elusive, and more diff
f3cult to eradicate from human nature
than the sense Of Superiority
In hundred different ways it mani
tests itself, and no class of society
seems free from it.
The professional mans wife "con-
descends" to the grocers wife, the
clerks wife patronizes the mechanic 8
wife. the "charlady" looks down on
the "stepslady," and SO it goes on.
Is it any matter for wonder, then.
that those who clothe themselves in
purple and fire linen, who fare sump-
tuously every day, who are surround
ed by all the culture, all the beauty,
and all the luxury which modern civ
i]iration can provide find it hard to
bell we that a common humanity binds
them to people who dwell in novels,
whose hands are begrimed and knot
ted with barren years of soulless la
Dor. whose backs are bent beneath the
terrific burden imposed upon them
from their cradles, and who dwell
continuously in the company of the
grim specters of disease and poverty;
The gulf certainly seems almost i'm
passible, but it must be bridged be
fore any advance can be made in the
direction of the abolition of class wal
and class hatred.-Chicago Tribune.

Anticreak shutters, rubber-soled

some of the features of the noiseless

new organization for the suppression
is recommended by this society that
builders use the noiseless method OF
construction of houses SO that nuf-
fed hammers shall install muffiers for

sepu1chral silence in every home is
recommended for the relief of the
nerve-wear and tension that the mod
ern hurly-burly conduct Of homes is
said to have upon those growing up

vices for the noiseless home has been
recommended the antisnore appll-

around the snoring organs of those
thus afflicted, so that they will be pre-

The noiseless home, says the Balti-

ALTERED IN THEIR MEANING
Phrases; Passing Through Genera
lions, Become Distorted Before
Generally Acknowledged.

Word building is as much a piece
of carpentry as is house building.
Only it takes longer Sometimes a
century more. And by that time the
words first meaning is usually chang
ed.
For example, the old word for
"neghbor" was "sib." Ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sib. This became shortened to
'godsib and later to gossip" Then
the words whole meaning changed
and gossip no longer meant good
neighbor, but applied to the sort of
talk exchanged between good neigh
boris.
Take the word farmer" too. The
old word for farmer" was Door"
tAnd Door later was used for de.
scribing farmer-like Or rough per.
sons.) The farmer living nearest to
one was known as the 'nighboor. /"
and this phrase, in course of time,
was twisted to "neighbor"
You've heard the proverb, Little
pitchers have big ears" Well, 1t
doesn't refer to the utensil that holds
water or goes to the corner side door.
"Pitcher' was slang term with
some such meaning as our word chap
or FELLOW Thus, Little fellows
have big ears is a more sensible
rendering of the Chicago
Journal.

Love the Real, Not an Ideal

1t is SO easy to love an ideal, and
love it ardently. 1t has no obtrusive
incarnation. 1t does not fret nor vex
MS; it doesn' sip it's tea or coffee with
disagreeable noise: it never puts
It's knife into it's mouth; it's boots
neyer creak when you have a head
ache; it never worries you with ques-
lions when YOU wish to be silent, and
1t never leaves you when solitude is
Irksome. It is beautiful, inaccessible
adorable forever; and we may love it
till the heart grows sterile for earth
waiting TO bloom in heaven.
Yet in my poor humble way OF
thinking there seems to be more
merit in loving these poor human ere.
htures whom we see about US every
day than in loving the distant, mac
cessible ideal that can neither be bet.
ter nor worse for all the love which
we can lavish on it.--From "Kirstie,"

If you have eczema or any other itching, burning skin trouble, the best evidence of what Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment can do for you Is the word of one who was cured by them after weeks of suffering. Adolph Schoen, TAP Shepherd Ave-, Brook lyn, writes:
 Nov. 1, 1912-"At first little red which I noticed were getting larger every day. They itched me so much that l scratched myself until I bled. There were times when l stood up all night and scratched. I was troubled about three weeks, during which time ! used -, which seemed to do me no good whatever. Then. finally, I thought of trying Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment AS soon as I ap- piled Resinol Ointment felt much re- lief After using it few times, I no tfced the sore spots slowly fading away, and in about month I wai cured completely"
 The soothing, healing balsams in resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, penetrate every tiny pore of the skin. clearing 1t of all impurities, driving away eczema, rashes, ringworm. psori- asis, and other eruptions. and making pimples and blackheads impossible.
