describing the strange picture made by

they drove before them in French
boulevard a flock of sheep and bearded
goats and relating incidents of the in

have for these oriental allies the
writer taxes up the peculiar problem

But the crux is not so much the ma

KING COTTON'S R

King Cotton is the n king who is now
making such a decided advance along an
extended front that he may begin to hope
for a victory out of the war. At first, King
Cotton was the hardest hit of all the kings
in the world, and in the depth Of his disas-
ter it was often foolishly said that he had
lost a throne. In the panic, many holders
who could have awaited the turn of the
tide, sold their cotton at low prices to in
vestors who are now selling for II cents
or holding for a still higher price, says the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Texas, the greatest Of the cotton states,
tells the story in the dispatches stating that
the planters of the state, with 700, 600 bales
of cotton less than they held at this time
last year, stand now to make SOC, 600, 600
more in the total price of the crop. They
are disposing of this seasons crop about as
fast as it can be picked, although there is
confident expectation of prices above II
cents, which is the price at which the Texas
crop is now moving out. A part Of the in
crease in dollars is in money paid for cotton
seed oil, which is now bringing q price prac-
tlcally double that price paid last year.
And the agriculturist can already be
seen travelling the way of the Wall street
operators, who after several years,of dire
adversely, no sooner find that Wall street is
easy street again then they begin plunninp
in the old way likely to bring the same re.
suits. Planters and cotton dealers are re-
ported as calculating that prices must con-
tlnue to advance for several years without
reference to when or how the war ma end.
Cultivation Of this over optimism IS likely
TO lead to the same overplanting which con-!
tibuted somewhat to last years blackness.
An undoubted factor in the higher price of
this crop is that this year the cotton acreage
was grestalvreduced. To disregardt this fact
will Be to invite danger.

N~EGLECTING PROMISES.

greatest faults OF the present day is the
failure OF the people to carry out their prom
In failing to hold sacred a promise,
no matter what it is, the command Of seThou|
shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbor, nor myself, etc. " is violated. Yet
there are those who claim to be Christians,
taking an active part in the affairs Of the
church and lead in prayer, who would resent
it as an affrOnt to ever question their honor,
integrity and truthfulness, but they, and
others who do not make SO many pre-
tensions will often promise to do this and
that, yet fail time and again to carry them
out. Of course this is not always the case
with anyone, but sometimes it is.
and not be a Christian, but he can't be a
true Christian and not be true to his prom
Uses. One cannot be real honest and fail to
keep his promises, if he violates them inten-
~tionally. How often it is that people will
make a debt, and promise to pay at a GER
tain time, but do not. They often promise
to pay their pastor, and even fail to meet
this obligation. Promises are often made
Ito meet an appointment, but do not mate
~rialize; to perform some act or deed, and
lyet never think of it again. Promises too
numerous to name might be mentioned, but
1t is unnecessary.
vi course there are times WHICH, d pIOIIl-
Use of some sort is made, and some unfore-
seen condition arises that makes it impossi-
lb1e to keep it, but in a case of this kind the
cause for it should be explained to the one
to whom it was made.
There are many reasons why promises
should be kept. First, of course, because it
is right. Second, like honesty, it is the best
policy. No man can have the influence or
the confidence of people who does not hold
sacred his promises, whether in reference to
financial matters or otherwise. With some
the idea prevails that the more money a
person has, the greater his credit, but such
is not always the case. Money alone will
not always obtain credit, unless security is
given. The man who always keeps his
promises never has much trouble about get
ting credit. When he promises to pay, and
keeps that promise promptly, he gains the
confidence Of creditors, and thus his credit
in the financial world grows, because he
wins the confidence Of his creditors. Alfpeo-
pie in business realize how often it is the
case that when they present a bill to their
debtors, they are confronted with the state
ment, Il will settle that in a few days" and
that is the last Of it until the bill is pre-
scented again, maybe with the same retort
sSume people are Of course worse than
others, but some Of the best people we have
are guilty. If you want to broaden your
influence, your standing as a man and a cit
izen, your credit, and to win greater conf.
dence from your fellow man, try the plan Of
always keeping your promise.

WHY BUY IN

Because our interests are here.
Because the town that is good enough
for us to live in is good enough Tor US TO
buy in.
Because we believe in transactlng busl-
ness in our home town.
Because some part of every dollar we
work for the welfare Of the town and
county, and the State.
Because the merchant we buy from
pays his share of the town, county and
State taxes.
Because the merchant we buy from
helps support our poor and needy, our
schools, our churches, our lodges and homes.
Let us make Greenwood the best place
in which to work and live. It's easy and
certain if everyone will do his share.
The dollar sent out of the town seldom
returns, while the money spent at home. Is
apt to leave a scrapling at your door. :,
Then why not adopt the practice taught
of spending your money with your home
people?
