We're you born in February? AL
though the old superstitions inconnec-
ton with zoadiacal signs is 'assing,
yet they are interesting to Fad of.
The sign for February this year is
Pisces, which begins on the 18Th. AS
to lucky and unlucky days ff those
born in the month the scale is equally
balanced, there being three lays of
each. The 18th, 18th and 10Th ire con-
sdered as the unIucky ones; he lst,
End and 3rd being the lucH days.
Pisces subjects belong to the practical
trinity, the third one in Tho trinity,
and are Of aknegatiVe disposi ion. In
tellectuaI, forceful, stubbIrn. All
these qualities are emphasized by the
occurrence of the moon sign on the
14th, 18th and 10th This Ihould be
born in mind by the Pisces Geople so
as to as much as possible guard
against the damage that such a mental
condition is apt to bring. The counter
acting moon sign of Virgo, which
occurs on the 1st, End and 3rd, greatly
modifes the mental characteristics of
Pisces. Therefore if much depends
upon you in which accurate mntal
balance is needed you had better select
these three dates. They are your hcky
days simply because they are the days
on which you are at your very best.
The other days of the month will be
favorable or unfavorable acGaedlng as
they approximate the dates which we
have given for the lucky and unlucky
days. February's birthstone is the
amethyst, which signifies power OF
deep love. The months flower is the
primrose e.

Our city authorities have determined
to break up liquor selling inLexington.
They have employed Ex-Gov. Noel to
prosecute in mayors and circuit courts
all serious viOlators of town ordinances,
especially blind-tiger cases. On We'd
nesday two alleged liquor sellers were
tried in the mayors court for offences
against town and state laws, and both
convicted of both offences. Mr.. P. l..
Vinson was sentenced to $500 fine and
80 days in jail IN the state case, and
500 and 80 days in Jail in town case
and put under $500 20 bond to break no
law for next two years. Sam Red
mond, colored, for getting liquor for a
minor, was sentenced in a state case
500 fine and four m0nths in Jail. and
for the town case. $500 fine and 80 days
in Jail and put under $3.50 bond to
break no law in next two years. MIR.
Vinson, through his attorney, Hon. A.
M. Pepper, appealed and Redmond ex-
poets to appeal. No quarter will be
shown to blind-tigers regardless of who
they may be, is what the city officers
say.

1t may be the people will keep on
drinking until the end of time. We
rather incline to the belief that the
Judgment Day. which Will come with

will find drunk men staggering under
the influence. says the Brookhaven
Leader. But that is no reason why we
should not do all in our power by legal
and moral suasion to make as few
drunkards as possible The only way
to do away with drunkards is to raise
less .drunkards. Place the ban upon the
sale and your condemnation upon the
drink. As long as there is boy among
US who responds to the standard of a
clean life-of life free from vice and
faint of pernicious habits'there is cause
for courage and even exultatiOn. There
is no argument strong enough to up
hold strong drink in the face of our re-
sponsibility to the young life about us.

The weekly newspaper promotes the

published to such an extent that il
bec@mes impossible to place an estimate
upon its worth There is no enterprise
that Goes so much for the corporation

the towE kicker, the town fanatic and
the town drones. 1t stands for action
as against dry rot. 1t stands for pro-
gress as against stagnation. 1t is ever
ready to combat the schemes of vision
aries and as ready to raid the construct
i've plans of the wise and level-headed
citizens. 1t is for the upbuildnq of
the community. The paper has not
yet come into its own. however, be-
cause it is never appreciated to the
extent of its worth by the people at
large. Yet when battles are to be

the ocean without. ever being able to
capture her. She is feet of foot, but
this will not explain it. The aies

She seems to be endowed with the ow.

without hope of reward Many other
enterprises are encouraged by bonus,
but rarely is the newspaper offered any
such help and still more often not CIV
en- the support it is entitled to. Com
munities frequently lose sight Of their
real benefactor when they fail to re-
cognize the weekly journal as such.
The editor and his paper stand as the
bulwarks of defense against the attacks
of evil or designing scheme affecting
the good of the individual or the town.
For these and other reasons, the news
papers of the town and county should
receive the support of the public at
large in a very liberal degree, for it is
really the most important business en-
terprise of the community. Nat.

1t is said that a certain ungodly
countess of Europe once boasted that
she was going to have her tomb built
so strongly, and sealed so securely,
that not even God himself could get
into it at the day of judgment. Her
instructions We're followed minutely
after her decease, but one day bird
dropped tiny seed into Rsmall crevCe
which had been left unnoticed by the
builders. The sunshine and the rain
set to work the tremendous dynamic
force within the small seed, it sent
forth it's rootlets, and soon, as it con-
tinued to grow. the tomb was risen
asunder and before the passage of even
that generation the interior of the tomb
in which rested her pl1trefying remains
was fully exposed to the view Of all
who passed that way Godtdid not re-
quire the terrific forne Of the world s

The people of city may be consider
ed as one family inasmuch as all have,
or should have, common interest in its
welfare. This is especially true of a
small city because it's people are better
acquainted with each other than are
those in large city. That fact ough
to make for greater cooperation in
those projects designed to advance the
weli-being of the community and to
make everyone jealous of its good
name. Every citizen should resent any
unfair criticism of his home town just
as he would one upon his own family,
and he should work for its interests in
the same spirit as he works for the
good of his home.

Great is King Cotton But to lie at
his feet while the rsurer and grain
raiser bind us in subsection. is to invite
the contempt of man and the reproach
of God. But to stand up before him
and amid the crops and smoke-houses

our independence, and to establish in
his name an example and diversified

Why Is it that so often farmers liv.
ing side by side on farms of equal size
and fertility get such different results
Evidently the reason must be found
mostly in the men themselves. One
man takes agricultural papers, keeps
posted on farming. plans for the future,
keeps his land in fine condition and
farms scientifically. Another man ne
elects these things. loafs about in
towns instead of attending to his work,
and fails to keep his buildings and i'm
plemeAts in good repair. One man
finds farming pays and is happy, the
other says there is no money in farming
and is in chronic state of discourage
ment.
