of the leading crops reaching
the astounding figures of over
S., 280.000,0O0. This exceeds
last years yield by over S4l5,
100000.
The making of money by the
people of this community the
coming year will depend greatly
upon the farmers of our com
munity. If they increase their
acreage the wealth of the COM
munity will be enhanced in pro-
portion, and through the logical
routine of barter and trade it
finds it's way into every artery
of fown, farm and countryside.
The year to come will witness
a tremendous demand for farm
products. This demand will
come from every section of the
globe and the buyer pays 10
gold.
For this reason we urge upon
every farmer the advisabiiity,
even the vital Importance, of
cultivating every possible foot
of ground, even to the doubling
of your acreage if such a thing
be within the bounds of posi-.
bility.
The opportunity for making
money IS before you-The great
est you have ever seen, possibly
greater than you will ever see
again.
You are our mainstay, our
backbone, the one man upon
whom we all depend. to whom
we all turn as the child turns to
it's mother.
Your success will be our sue.
cess, your prosperity our pros
perity, your advancement our
advancement.
You are the man Of the hour,
and the opportunity IS before
YOU.

WHEN PEOPLE FORGET TO THINK.

Forgetting to think is a pre-
valent allment the world over,
and IN this respect our own COM
munlty is no exception tc the
general rule. 1t is of daily oc-
currence right in our own midst.
1t is not the big things Of life
that we forget, for our nature is
such that important matters are
more indellibly impressed upon
our minds and therefore the
more certain of receiving atten-
ton at the proper time.
But it is the little things that
slip our minds: promises lightly
made and soon forgotten, duties
that are left unperformed be-
cause we simply forget to think.
Stored away in the vaults of
our banks are thousands and
thousands of dollars drawing in

proud of the names we have on
our subscription list, for they
represent the intelligence and
the integrity of this whole CON-
munlty.,
But even men of the highest
intelligence and the most rigid
integrity can forget to think:
They are forgetting to think in
our own case.
If these same good and loyal
citizens could take one glance at
our books they would be appall-
ed at the amount of money that
is due us on subscription to this
paper. They are small amounts
individually, ranging from 80
cents to s. or So, marked up
against men and women whose
words are as good as their bonds
But we can not pay our own
bills with the honor and the in
tegrity of our subscribers. We
pnt up the cash.
Right now we have splendid
opportunity to invest some mon
ey in our business that would
yield US handsome returns. But
we are handicapped because our
subscribers forget to think. We
can not make the Investment un
less our subscribers do think
not only think, but pay. And
we do yearn nightly toward
that dividend producing invest
ment. Our family yearns for
the money it would bring into
the editorial home.
But it will not always be so.
Some day people willnot forget
to think, for our people are
right minded and their forget.
fulness is but a fault and not Z !
crime. But if it were only to
day?

MONEY AND ITS MAKING.

To make money is compare
lively easy. To save it is more
difficult, To make it grow is a
problem.
And not all of US are able to
solve the problem.
But if ever there was a time
when We faced the opportunities
for making money grow, that
time is now.
Everybody knows that the
prosperity of the nation depends
primarily upon the farmer and
his crops. If he plants in large
acreages, and nature is good to
him. his yield is bountiful and
he becomes the harbinger of an
era of prosperity.
When the farmer is plentl-
fully supplied with funds he
wants new machinery and more
machinery, and the making of
these gives employment to mil
lions of people.
These people in turn have mon
ey to spend and the merchant
begins to increase the volume of
his business and gather in great
er profits.
And as it is with these, so it is
all down the line and extending
into every industry and into
every home.

country marketed the greatest
crop in history, the total value

My Dear Mack:
Your kind letter Of
the 18th instant received, and /
appreciate very highly indeed
the complimentary remarks con-
tained there IN reference to my
self.
I would have answered earlier
but the Sheriffs Association, the
Warehousemen's meetings, the
Supreme Court, the United
States Court and the Legislature
all being in session here this
week, many people from
different parts of the State have
been in the City. and I have
been very busily engaged in va
rlous conferences with our
friends.
In reply to your direct ques-
ton, l beg leave to say that,
SINCE Gne conference OF GnlS

ally decided to be a candidate
for the Office of Governor in the
campaign this year, and you can
say to our friends that at the
proper time I shall pay my as
sessment. file my plede and
walk into the race; and unless
all signs change, I will WIN.
The only thing I ask of my
friends, is that they go to the

opened, and remain until the

Our merchants, doctors, law

nous in the aggregate. If all
of these accounts were collected
together and one man became
responsible for the combined
sum he would never forget to

of the extent of his wealth. It
would be too important to over

We could name a merchant in

owe him these sums are not
deadbeats, for they are among
our best class of substantial cit
liens. He is not worrying over
eventually getting the money be
cause he knows from long ex
perience with these same people
that his accounts are as good as
gold-with one exception. The
gold in hand would enable him
to increase the size of his stock
and sell more goods and thereby
earn greater dividends on his in
vestment. But wholesalers and
manufacturers require their
money on the dot, and a hund
red or thousand small accounts
due the merchant are not consid-
cred in the light of an asset by
the men from whom he buys his
goods. If each OF the men who
owe these small accounts would
take the trouble to think, they
would rush in one. great throng
to that store and pay up those
small bills, and the merchant
would then be in position to do
even etter by them in the fu.
ture. But they forget to think,
and their money remains in bank
and they continue to draw inter

tiently waits for his due. And
this merchant is only one Of the
many.
Even the newspaper is not i'm
mune from the evils of forget

clined to the belief that we are in
even more unenviable position n
in this respect than any mer-
chant in town.

resenting all walks of life in
meeting assembled, believing
the State warehouse system, as
created and directed by John L.
McLaurin is Of immense benefit
to the business interest of our
State, and,
Whereas, We view with alarm
and discomfort the evident pur-
pose Of some to discredit and in-
jure the said warehouse system
by attacks on the present Com.

wise amendments to the laws
covering said system.
Resolven: That we, in mass
meeting expressing our appre-
citation and hearty approval of
the State warehouse system, and
our confidence in the Hon. John
L. McLaurin, the present Com

That we endorse Mr.. McLaur-

consider the election of any 9th
