A merchant in Charleston, w. Va,
committed suicide because he could
not collect bills owing him by promi-
, nent citizens. Many of those owing
him laughed at him when he told
them that he needed the money
which they owed him to keep his
business going. There are a great
many people who never seem to
think that a merchant or other bust
ness man needs money; some people
seem to be of the opinion that he
buys his goods on the same kind of
credit that they take. If the aver
age business man around this Sec
ton committed suicide because OF
the money owed him, there would
) not be enough live business men to
bury the suicides.

his country and it's flag. ought to be
} loyal enough to display a flag on
this day, but the great trouble with
so many people is that they cannot
stop grabbing dollars long enough tC
, display a little patriotism. 1t would
not be bad question for men to ask
themselves this question: Why do
, not take more interest in my coun-
try? Am 1 really a citizen or am
just money making machine, in
} which money has deadened all sense
of real interest in my country's af
fairs except as 1 may make money
} out of it?
The plant of the Seaford Marine
} Railway Company, which has beer
