 The fact that MT. Schwab was able to say that whatever improvement and ex- pensions may be necessary for the cor poration of which he is the chief exec utive will be paid for out of earnings contains the germ of his conviction that business in the United States in a short time is to be of magnitude and of the kind to make profitable returns pos- slbIe.

Maintain Your Equilibrium

Do not lose your head While this is
very homely expression, yet it is al
together epropos at this time. AS the
campaign draws to close many men
who are greatly enthused over politics
are liable to make remarks during poll
tical discussions that will give offense.
In the years gone by we have known
near neighbors and worse still, men
closely related, to engage in heated
political discussions in which offensive
language was used. causing an estrange-
ment that has not been fully healed to
this day.
How foolish this is In your sober
moments think seriously and take a
broad view of the situation Nine poll
ticians out of ten care absolutely
nothing for their followers after they
have received their votes. The office
seekers may pretend to stand first, last
and always for the peoples interests,
but what they are after primarily is
sufficient number of votes to elect
them. Why should you sacrifice
the pleasant relations of friends and
those akin by blood in order to aid the
self-seeking politician? Furthermore
the average politician is short lived.
He may be in position to render you
temporary assistance now but soon
he WILDE cut down like the grass of
the field and another will come upon
the scene, while you must. live in the
same community with relatives and
friends for the remainder of your earth-
ly sojourn.
Consider we'll before sacrificing long
standing ties in order to serve some
Office seeker. Always maintain your
equilibrium. especially in matters per-
tanning to politics.

Spent Very Pleasant Day.

After worshipping in the Baptist
church Al Johnston last Sunday
morning the editor of The Advertis-
er and Mrs. Minis spent the remain
der Of the day in the home of MIR.
aud Mrs p. e. Stevens. Have you
ever wondered why Mr.. Stevens is
such a Brobdinag or giant in statue?
Well, it is because he has such a
big heart that it requires a big body
TO touse it. And . Mrs. Stevens is
likewise noted for her goodness and
greatness of heart. She has been for
a number of years the leading spirit
in the woman's missionary work of
the Ridge association. This is but
one of number of commendable
enterprises i. which she is engaged.
Mrs. Stevens is also interested in
the county fair and will work for
Its success. After discussing the
burning issues in particular and
politics in general, incidentally Sc
lecting and electing ticket from
coroner to the United States senate,
MIR. Stevens and the writer took a
stroll over his splendid farm of 50
acres, which is so valuable that,
like city lots, it will sell for 50
much per front foot instead of 80
much per acre. MIR. Stevens has the
finest cotton that We have seen,
competent judges having estimated
that much of it will make two bales
TO the acre. His corn in spite of
lack of rain is also very fine. Had
1t not suffered, every acre of his
field would have rivalled some OF
the pet" acres of few years ago.
Mr.. Stevens is Jealous advocate
of planting the best seed obtainable,
whether it be cotton, corn, wheat,
oats or simply sorghum. He pur-
chased some Of Mr.. D. 4. Coker's
prize corn and rye. From half
bushel of rye, planted on about an
acre, ne has threshed 90 and one
half bushels.
MIR. Stevens is gradually equip
ping his farm in the most up-to-date
manner. He has one of the best
barns in the county, it being con-
structed from the material in the
old Harmony church. He will soon
install a complete water system for
his house and premises.
