In MemOriam.

In loving remembrance of my hus.
band. David Lofand, who departed this
life April 18th, 1914
One whole year has passed away,
Dear Father. since we saw thy face
And today our hearts still miss thee
None other here can fill thy place
Farewell. rest on thou aged soldier.
RecOmpense for thee is sweet.
And we join our hearts in prayer
Till beyond the sky we meet.
Farewell. farewell, our dearest father,
Hard was it for us to see you die,
But thou hast gone to the Golden City
Where we shall meet thee bye and bye.

Either the Governor should have
signed the special act making FIVE mem
bers of the Sussex County Levy Court a
quorum to do business, with the Clerk
of-the-Peace voting in case of ties, or he
should appoint Constables to fill the
vacancies now existing in every district
in Sussex County. Law and order de-
mands that this latter be done at once,
and business interests are feeling the
need for men capable of serving war
rants and in other ways discharging the
duties of the constable's Office. Let's
have officials of some kind at an early
day.

CONSCRIPTION IN ENGLAND.

Now that the British cabinet mas
us cided that CONSUMPTION must be re-
sorted to in order to get more re-
cruits, we may expect howl from
the men who don't go to war because
they don't have to.
Boasting about the success OF the
volunteer army system must cease
This thing has been carried to the
point of absurdity in England, where
prevailing notion has gained
ground that to force "a man to enter
the army is an infringement OF MS
liberty guaranteed in the bill OF
rights, magma charta and the prece-
dents of all the courts.
The United Stats also lays GRAINS
to democracy, and we didn't hesitate
q draft men in the civil war. France
likewise is "a democracy, and forcea
overv man into military tralning.
Switzerland, with direct" demo-
cratic government, as distinguishes
fron, the representative system, IKE
r,;se was beset by what is termed
militarism. :.
england expects every man 70 Wv
his dutv. but every man didn't do IT.

England has requested large Chi
cago packing company for an esti-
mate of the cost of 100000 head OF
beef cattle, delivered at Liverpool. 1.
is estimated that this number OF cat
tic would cost England about $l0o,-
600 900, and that the filling of such
an, order would make vast inroads on
the available cattle in the United
States. This is further proof OF the
absolute necessity OF the Southern
farmer devoting more attention TO
producing beef and pork. A few head
can be handled without great trouble
and at little expense, especially in
the Pine Bluff country, and the cash
return will be considerable.

Merely another illustration that
there is nothing new under the sun.

COMNtJNITY FLOURlNG MILL.

Farm associations have done startl-
ing things for the rural districts in
recent years. Scores of diaries an.
grain elevators dot the country and
are owned by the farmers in a given
district, the proceeds being divided
pro rata. Now comes CURLY, Ind,
with community Touring mill,
which will entail the employment Of
number Of expert flour millers. The
idea is spreading. Why not?

M INE BLUFF
ROG!RESS
ROSPERITY
SHOULD RAISE HIS SALARY
INSTEAD.

It is stated that Thomas Mott Os-
brrne. millionaire and prison re-
former, he who sentenced himself to
i week in Auburn prison for the ex-
reiience and later was appointed
warden Of Sing Sing prison, is slated
for dismissal.
Here are some of the charges
against him:
Some prisoners in Sing Sing wear
loud socks.
Some wear tan shoes.
Prisoners are allowed to talk
talk out loud, and even at the table.
Prisoners are allowed to attend
the funerals of their mothers and
wives. y u u
Prisoners get so much time out OF
doors that they look like other peo-
pie.
Prisoners are treated like human
beings.
Sing Sing is conducted ON business
principles.
We think the cloud socks" and tan
shoes charges are probably over
drawn; the others are not OF "a char
acter to damn the institution.
Once stories of the success Of the
reforms were interesting, and the
yellow journals lauded them to the
skies. Later they became common
place, and stories of alleged failure
became interesting.
If prisons exist to kick unfortun-
etes further into the mire, then Os-
borne's system is all wrong; If prls-
ems exist to take advantage OF the
possibility of reforming men, then
Osbcrne's salary should be increasea
forthwith, even though he doesn't
need the money.

THE WHYFORE OF STYLES.

A writer on economics makes the
observation that since women have
gone into industry so extensively,
they follow the styles more, and that
single salaricd girls go in for sartori-
al splendor to greater extent than
married women.
There is nothing remarkable about
this. After a woman has caught and
hooked up her husband She doesn't
need so much bait.

Don't be misled into selling you'll
| cotton at five or six cents pound
as you were last fail, by political and
other pessimists.
Don't get frightened and rush your
cotton to market except to the extent
that you have to sell it to meet your
financial obligations, for the undue
crowding of cotton on the market
plays into the hands of the specula-
tors, who by the tactics now being
employed would break down the price
OF your cotton and enable them to
buy it to their profit and to your loss,
as they did last year.
Don't expect either this government
or any other to buy your cotton. The
government has no more right to buy
cotton than to buy grain or hogs.
Don't look for any uneconclric and
impossible legislation in behalf of
cotton, for most of the theories ad-
vanced have bordered on asininity,
and some Of them have quite reached
that stage.
Don't for moment think that you
can barter your hclTa and your soul
and shape your convictions as to
right or wrong in world affairs for
the price of bale of cotton.
Don't seek to blackmail other
countries by threatening retaliation
because thsir work may interfere
with the temporary price of your cot
ton
Don't permit politicians or others
to hold you up before the world as
willing to accept bride, and to
shape your Judgment of right and
wrong in human affairs by the price
that this country or that might be
willing to pay for your cotton.
Cont forget that though you have
raised more cotton than the South
] ought to have produced, there is an
intrinsic value in cotton which can
not be permanently destroyed.
Don't forget that you can carry
your cotton for years without it's de-
terioration, and that the time will
come, unless the South continues to
grow more cotton than the world de-
mands, when every bale of cotton
will be needed at a good price.
Don't defraud your creditors by re-
fusing to sell cotton to inset your OBJ
legations, but when you have sold
enough to pay your debts, don't for
get that the balance is yours to hold
until doomsday if you please, and
await the time when the world will
pay your price for it.
Don't above all else, permit your
self to be misled into believing that
your cotton is worth more than your
honor; that your cotton must set your
standard of morals in studying world
affairs.
Don't forget that he who poses the
cotton growers of the South before
the world as beggars asking aims, or
as regarding a bale OF cotton of more
value than human life, or the price
of pound Of cotton more to be con-
sidered than individual and national
honor. is the worst enemy which the
South has ever had Or ever can have.

Economy is no disgrace; any

Learned.
The following is not piece Of
summer fiction but an actual CONVEX
sation, the names alone being fic-
ticious:
Dear me! l do feel so happy"
said Mrs. Collins as she dropped
down into a chair in Mrs. Whit
marsh's parlor. 1--WE just been down
town shopping. l stopped at the bank
and deposited my months savings. I
had ten dollars to deposit"
81 declare" exclaimed Mrs. Whit
marsh, 81 don't see how you do It..
Your husband doesn't give you cent
more than urine gives me, there
aren't any less in your family and
you seem to have just as many
things as l do. But as for my saw
ing! Why, we are always way behind
on some bill or other. How in the
world do you do it,"
"Well, you see," said Mrs. Collins,
modestly, 'try father and mother
taught me to save when l was girl.
| began then to put my nickles into
a little savings bank. Now when
ever l think of way of saving al
ways put the difference between what
might have spent and what do
spend right into my bank. If it's only
five cents, in it goes, and if it's two
dollars, l make myself put that in
too"
"But where do you save?" inter-
rupted Mrs. Whitmarsh.
ooh" answered Mrs. Collins, "I'm
always on the watch for chances.
That's part of the secret. Just the
other morning it struck me-for the
first time, strange to say-that break
fast cereal might be cheaper by the
half dozen. There is only five cents
difference when you buy six boxes,
but then you save the bother OF order
ing the six separately.
81 try to make my household ex-
penses for each M nth come within
a certain limit, too, and if at the
end OF the month l have spent less
than l expected, the sum saved goes
into my bank. l buy some cheap

FARMING CLASS
Land Filled With Soldiers,
No One to Work on
the Farms.
RECRUITING HELD
TO BE RESPONSIBLE

T ONDON, Eng, Dec. 11.-Farmers
in England are complaining of the
shortage of labor which makes it
impossible for them to get even the
absolutely necessary winter work done
on their farms They declare that the
acreage in wheat Will be considerably
smaller next year than this
Their troubles they say began when
premier Asquith announced that all
young men would be forced into mill
tary service if a sufficient number Of
recruits were not forthcoming in an
swer to lord Derby's call last month
Immediately afterwards there was a
general rush for the recruiting offices,
with most fatal results to farming.
Soldiers Irritate Farmers.
The fact that the whole country Is
full Of soldiers who apparently have
little or noticing to do but to hang
around saloons either because no more
troops are needed on the France-Bel-
gian front or because of the lack of
rifles or other military equipment. is
adding to the Indignation of the farm
ers.
however, than anything else is that in
spite OF persistent appeals TO the war
office it has been impossible to per-
suade the military authorities to al
low German prisoners of war to be
used for highly important farm work,
although prisoners of war are extern
siyely used for farm work in Russia
and Germany
