teaching practical business methods
to the young people Of the rural pre-
cincts. 1t is also a character building
process for it is but natural for a
boy when treated like a man to act in
a manly way.
By way Of encouraging business men
and bankers to continue this course
let Us say that this apparent generos-
} ity on the part Of the bankers is In
many cases the shrewedest business
lacument We have read Of a case in
which a Texas banker pursued this
plan. He placed 326 pigs among the
pig club members of his county. AS a
result of the acquaintance made in Sc
curing and placing these pigs, many
new patrons were secured. These
patron brought in over $4,000 in in
dividual deposits. Needless to say,
tbs was a profitable business for the
bank, but it is also a means that will
increase with time in its beneficial in
fluence. One Of the Texas papers
states that the banker has laid the
foundation for prosperity which will
be lasting. The boys that he has help
Ell to get started in the hog business
are now on their feet financially, and
before many years they will be max
ing hig shipments of hogs to market
each year The money received from
the sale of hogs will be expended in
further developing the country. Every
merchant in the county will profit, the
banks will get more deposits, and the
farmers will have more money with
which to further develop their farms. +"
The Times Recorder would recon-
mend the adoption of Texas bankers
course TO the bankers Of this section.

PIGS AND BANKS.

With our readers permission We will
break away from a discussion of war,
preparedness and the greasers aud
tackle question that is right at
home, that of hogs, and the hog indus
try. That this is becoming an i'm
portant industry in this part of the
country, is apparent to all. On every
hand we hear farmers and business
men saying there is money in hogs,
ard they are turning their attention to
the industry in such way as that
much bids fair to be accomplished.
Business men in the various de-
partments of the business life are
encouraging the farmer to engage in
hog and cattle raising. Business as
sociations and agricultural institutions
are doing what they can along the
same lines. Prominent among these
business men are the bankers. These
hard headed masters of finance in many
states are coming to the aid and en-
-couragement of hog and cattle raising
by their support OF the pig clubs that
are springing up all over the country.
In this way they are recognizing what
the pig club work and movement
means in the improving OF rural life
and rural conditions, Not a few of
the bankers have made it possible Off
members of the club to secure pure
bred pigs on their personal notes. In
this way we'll bred stock pigs are
obtained, and the member of the club
is given the opportunity of paying for

GET THE TURNSTILE HABIT.

A splendid rule of life is to do one
thing at a time, and do that thing
well.
Let the duty in hand have the right
of way over all others, and when this
is finished then on to the next, and
SO on through the various duties Of
life.
When you see a man rushed, wor-
ried and fiurried, it is a sure sign he
has not learned the way Of first duty
first to be done.
We all know what the old fashioned
trrnstile is or was. This is the kind
of method we want to adopt with life's
Duties, the turnstile method. Like the
gateman in charge of the tunstile one
duty at time. There may be one
thousand people coming, but the gate
man takes care of one at time, and at
that instant the cher 999 are nothing
to him. Thus it should be with the
duties of life. Do the first one first
aid then on to the other in their order

THE JAIL SENTENCE.

Judge Rourke, in Savannah, has sent
a violator of the state prohibition
laws to the chain gang without the
alternative of paying a fine The Sa-
vannah courts are working hand in
hand with the new Law. and what was
heretofore known as the state Of
Chatham has become a real part OF
Georgia.
1t is not the policy of substantial
and conservative newspapers to be-
little or advise the courts, but the
Times-Recorder believes every court
il the state could work much good if
it followed the policy of Judge Rourke.
Send the offender to the chain gang,
and the community will be freed Of
their pestiIence for at least twele
months.
In commenting on the sentence, the
Savannah Morning News says:
Because the prohibition laws are
law. they should be enforced, and if
comparatively light sentences will not
have the desired effect, heavier seE-
fences must be imposed The laws
we're not written TO permit persons to
sell liquor by paving fines periodically
such fines, for example, as would
about equal license fees If there were
no prohibition laws. But they were
written to be obeyed, and it is the
duty Of every person charged with
enforcing the laws to do his part IN
seeing that they are obeyed to the
letter and without recourse to a sub
erfuge that would permit them to be
violated. No judge likes TO send any
body to Jail, but at times it is his duty:
whenever it is his duty, he would not
be an upright judge if he failed to do
l. He would be rcreant to his trust
II he permitted his own opinion as to
tie theory of prohibition to prevent
him from doing his exact duty as a
judge.
1t is unlawful to sell whiskey in Sa-
vsnnah; any man who sells it here
knows he is violating law when he
does it. and he deserves no sympathy.
II he is sent to jail for a fragrant vio-
lation, he has only himself to blame.
If he expects to sell whiskey ami
avoid punishment, he must have the
opinion that either the authorities of
the law can be outwitted and deceived
or else that they DO not intend to do
their duty. The result Of the case in
which jail sentence was imposed
Yesterday should be taken as evidence
that the authorities are not to be de-
ceived very long. and that they are
doing their duty"

OWN YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF OWE IT
Food And Grain Crops Will Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) )-The cred
it system under which the agricultu-
raj south works and stays poor is an
alyzed in a striking way by H. G.
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the
Agricultural committee Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and a member OF
the executive council Of the South
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
Every season during the last fifty
years. he says, there has been trou-
BILE in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry or
hard times goes up, and the reason
back Of it is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out of their so-called cash crop-cot-
ton. 1t is disheartening because 1t IS
so absolutely unnecessary.
"a cotton farmers debts are large
" for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres, and usually without
serious interference with crop Of cot
ton as large as he now makes.
"The trouble is that most cotton
farmers owe their crop instead OF
owning it when made.
"The credit way looks the easy
way, but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
81 have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section OF
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for it's food supplies. What
Is true Of state or section is true
of the individual farmer.

and food products shown at the South

that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
!tably.
"A good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half OF the
living besides furnishing an abund-
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus.
"When we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store: we will own instead Of owe
our crops when made, and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
instead of farm and crop mortgages"

EARL KITCHENER SPEAKS
OF THE ZEPPELIN RAIDS
Declares Air Invasion Has Had No
Influence on the Military
Conduct of War.

London, Feb. 17.-Earl Kitchener
announced in the house of lords today
that during the last Zeppelin raid it
was certain that the British account
ed for one airship which was lost az
sea, and that there was good reason
to believe a second airship had been
put out of action. Lord Kitchener
added:
up to the present time a hostile
air invasion of England has had no
influence whatever on the military
conduct of the war, and regrettable as
is the loss of citizen life and damage
to private property, 1 do not believe
the people desire to give too great
Importance to these attacks, nor to
allow them to affect military opera.

portant points.
1T is beyond our power to guaran-
tee these shores from repetition of
those air incursions, but We shall
make them more costly eacn time"
Outlining the system of the air de-
tense in Great Britain, Lord Kitchener
said:
"The defense is three-fold: First,
good advance information regarding
the movements of hostile aircraft;
second, defense by anti-aircraft ar
tillery; third, attacks on raiders by
aeroplanes.
Sufficient Warning.
CAS- regards the first, We now have
system which gives us sufficient
warning of impending air arrivals anG
probable numbers of the enemy. As
to artillery the construction of air
craft guns has row precedence over
other ordnance, and now the guns as
fast as produced will he distributed to
the best advantage throughout theM
country
ATTACK by aeroplane at night is al
tended with great difficulties, but
believe that with more extended prac|
tice We SHOULD overcome the difficult
ties.

unturned in efforts to improve to the
utmost our defences against "Zeppe-
line declared Lord Kitchener. The
responsibility for defeIce will be in
the hands of Viscount French, with
Sir Percy Scott as his chief advis-
err
In reply to a question regarding the
use of aeroplanes at night Lord Kit
chener said no order had ever yet been
sent to pilot of the royal flying corps
to make an ascent at night to attack
ZepveMn. He added:
The decision as to whether to fly
or not is left to the senior officer on
the spot If he decides that the
Neatner conditions are favorable he
is the first to ascend
