PROSPERITY
Farmers Responsible For
Prosperous Conditions.
CROPS ARE MOVING.

Our exchanges report big Oct
ober court day crowds at all coun-
ty seats. Big court day crowds
are said to be indication of pros
porous times. The farmer sell
dom comes to town unless he has
something to sell or exchange,
and judging by court day live
stock sales, the country ought to
be in good financial condition.
Inthis county, thousands of dol
lars have been placed to the cred
it of our prosperous and substan-
tial farmers from large shipments
of cattle. The cattle industry in
this county is something enor-
nous, the majority of its citizens
having no conception of the
amount of money left in the hands
of stock raisers as the result OF
the industry.
| In a few weeks, the tobacco
crop will be put on the market
putting into the hands of tobacco
growers several hundred thou
sand dollars, who in turn will pay
their store accounts and Other
debts contracted on faith in grow
ing crops.
Taking in consideration the
drouth and the shortage of many
crops in the country at large, Mad
ison county people are in a splen
did condition, and stand ready tt
enjoy the blessings of good gov
eminent and prosperity.

BIG KICK
Coming From the Exasper.
ated Taxpayers
NO NECESSITY FOR A RAISE.

You who are loaded and want
to fire your guns, and you who
are grouchy and want to kick
somebody, now is the opportunity
of your life to do either or both.
At the last regular meeting of
the city council, the said council
without any notice to the public
that such a question would be
sprung, and without giving the
people any preparation for such
an act, fixed the salaries of the
officers for the ensuing term of
four years. The salary of the
Mayor was raised from $3.50 to
5000 per annum, and the salary of
the councilmen was raised from
$50 to 500 per annun.
s Much unfayorable comment has
been heard about the action of
the council, and it is not apparent
to the uniformed, why such an
action should have been taken.
The people reason that if any
thing of this kind was necessary
or desirable from any view point,
/ that the council knew it long pri-
or to the last primary, and it
should have been done before
!. so that thepeople could have thor
oughly understood and discussed
the matter, and either ratified OF
rejected it at the polls. Also il
is hard to understand why the
Mayor and council are entitled to
an increase in their salaries OF
nearly three hundred percent,
when the other honorable officers
of the city, and who are just as
efficient in every way for the dis
charge of their respective duties
have been left out in the cold and
must drag along for four years or
the same old salary.
Unquestionably the unprece
dented action of the council ha:
raised a storm that will not
down, for the tax payers will be
heard from as sure as preaching.

The Young Man in the Home

Before the time announced for
the service to begin at the Opera
house Sunday night every seat
was taken and the crowd over
flowed into the balcony.
Dr.Quisenberry discussed in his
own characteristic way, the home,
and its effect upon the young
man. His word-pictureS were re-
aliStic, and true to life.
The close attention accorded
the speaker reflected great credit
upon the Richmond people. De-
spite the fact that the place was
crowded, the silence between the
speakers periods, was most inn
pressive. The singing was led by
a full chorus of more than one
hundred voices.
Next Sunday night DR.. Quisen-
berry will discuss "The Young
Man in Business, or Chasing the
Dollar" Every young man with
in ten miles of the city ought to
hear this address.

DIR. OGDEN
Delivers Four Splendid Lee
tures.

The series of lectures given in
the First Presbyterian church Aof
this city last week by Dr. Dun
bar H. Ogden of Atlanta, were
as fine as anything heard here
in many years. He spoke to
very large and thoughtful congre
cations each night and the final
address was a fitting climax to
the week of splendid addresses
by this brilliant man. The pur-
pose of this course of lectures
was for the good of the people
of thic city at large and it GER
tainly accomplished this purpose,
as representative au diences S
greeted the speaker each night
and he gave a large and true vi
sion of the responsibility of man
to man. The first night he
spoke on the relation of labor to
capital from a christian view
point and strongly urged the ap
plication of the Golden Rule be-.
tween these two classes in order
to a just and happy solution OF
this perplexing problem. The
second night he spoke on Prop
erty and the Poor and maintain.
ed that no man has a right tc
lavish wealth on himself and his
own comforts while there are
down-trodden and suffering hu
manity about him in hopeless
need and suffering, and not help
alleviate such misery; there is Z
sense in which we are our bro
Tiers keeper. The third night
he spoke on "The Wheels O
Justice" setting forth the fac
that the poor and the rich shoule
ffare alike intlfe eyes of the 1an
and its principles should appl,
to all classes alike.
1 His presentation of the Socia
Citadel, the Home, the last night
was the high-water mark of the
series. and if the principles ht
laid down were sacrediy guarded
in every home, there would be les:
divorces and more happiness il
our land. Such a series of ad
dresses can only leavea profouno
impression on our city and it i.
hoped that, at least every year
such course of lectures may b.
delivered here by such man.
DR.. Scanlon and his church off
GERS have rendered a distinct ser
vice to this city by bringing DR.
Ogden here to present thes,
messages.
