man was no longer slave, Jul
he was not free, nor could either
South or North escape him. Be
yond these concrete and local
considerations there remained
the fact that a great truth car
ries whit a great burden.
The Civil war stands between
two eras. It closed the long
struggle for political freedom; it
established the principle upon
which the state was to rest for
ever; but it ushered in the age
of industrialism, which soon de-
veloped new problems and de-
manded a new application of the
idea of liberty. The pain, woe
and waste Of war rolled like an
engulfng flood over the whole
Nation, but our present genera
ton faces difficulties as danger
GUS and duties as serious as any
in all history. We have no
slaves and no question to the po-
litical union of the States, but
we have industrial injustice and
tyranny; unrest and anarchy,
widespread and ominous. We
have a racial problem possibly
more acute than that OF the
black man; we have the incubus
of the city, the fever of class
consciousness. the hateful con-
trasts of wealth and poverty:
and with it all, the certainty
that there is no turning back.
The past is with US to-day,
laying upon our lives the heavy
burden Of moral obligation. As
we in reverence think OF oui
mighty dead, let US not forget
that great blessings have a great
price, and let the Veterans pray
that their children may be brave
and loyal to live and die for thu
Nation they have given us at tnt
cost of noble blood.
The present is a time OF storm
and stress, but the message O
the Old Soldier is one OF hope
Where in all recorded history il
there a chapter of heroism mor'
sublime than that of the Southern
Soldier going home after tn

walked together hand in hand along
the beach, and now he had not the
remotest conception OF where that
beach lay.

the direction OF 1t, for from that di-

sCURRY COUNTY HAS MORE COT
TON AND FEED THAN Ev-
ER BEFORE

scurry county has made more thar
twice as much cotton this year al
last and more feed stun than In
three years put together. Last spring
and the year before the farmers had
to buy feed for their stock in order
to make a crop. This fall they have
sold hundreds Of tons OF feed and
most farmers have enough Feed stor-
ed to run them two years.
They will not have to buy feed
next year to make a crop. Probably,
nearly every farmer has a few hogs
and feed to make them fat. so they
will not have to buy meat next year
These facts look sufficient to show
that this country is in good hx.
OF course the people are disap-
pointed over the price Of cotton. We
expected to get 10 or ~ cents for the
cotton and now to have to take seven
cents II is a hard proposition, how
ever with the feed stun for sale and
already sold, the people may pull
