Money and Wealth.

We would all be better OFF il we
would not lose sight OF the fact that
wealth is not money, but the things
that money can buy.
1t is the history Of the world that
property, almost without exception,
increases in value from year to year,
while money is growing cheaper all
the time.
50 that, as a rule, u man with a
certain value in property is better
off than a man with the same value
IN money.
Take real estate, for instance. a
man with $1,000 worth Of real estate
is better off than man with $1,000
in money. The real estate will in
crease in value, while the money VIII
not.
And the same thing is true Of al
most every other kind of property.
FoOdstutIs are becoming higher III
value every year. The. farmer who
has been producing foodstuffs is in
much better condition than the farm
cr who has been producing crops
which he can only turn into money.
Cotton, OF itself, is worthless to
The average farmer in the South. He
must sell it, turn it into money, be
fore he can use it. He cannot wear
the raw cotton, or eat it, or use ii for
fuel. He must sell it and with the
money that he receives for it he
buys his food ana clothing his horses
and stock, his buggics and wagons,
whatever lie uses on his farm The
cotton, as cotton, is practically
worthless to him.
And when he starts out 10 convert
his cotton into foodstuffs, or live
stock, or clothing, or anything else,
many different parties enter into
the transactions, ana all of them
get profit. That is wherein lies
the main loss.
Farmers would be better off if
they would raise at home the things
that their cotton buys for them. If
they do this thcy do not have to di-
vide profits with anybody.

cotton TO buy mule, from one to

fact that, as announced last week,
special anti-tuborculOs;s conference
for ,hc South is 10 be held in Atlanta.
hcGinning November goth. Vital sta
tistics for the whole Of South Caro-

great need for anti tuL erculosis work
throughout the State. Tnc National
Association in New York has Just
made public, through the State Com
mission, its figures for South Carolina.
From Il partial church census it was
found that the mortality rate from
tuberculosis is thirteen and one-half
per cent. This is about three per
cont. higher than the average for the
United States. From this fact, both
the approaching conference in Allan
Ia and the 1914 campaign for selling
Red Cross Seals become doubly i'm
pOrtant. The commission announces
that up to the present seventy agents
have been secured for 1914.

Carranza forces that now hold it.
1t was reported at the capital today
that General Emiliano Zapta's troops
had succeeded in restoring order in

yet entered in person. Belief is now
expressed that Zapata and General
Francisco Villa have reached an under.
standing and that there is little chance
of Carranza's cause being helped by
fighting between the Zapatasta and
the Villa forces.
The apparent plan of the generals
on General CarranZa's staff is to wait
until the Villa arm attacks and takes
Mexico City, and then lay siege to the
capital.

Zapata will not be SO difficult as some
