THRILLS.

July Peoples Home journal.
What is ii produces the thrills of
life? Seeking after new things. en-
joying life and its blessings the ex-
element that is produced by the
wonderful changes wrought by
science; the momentous happenings
and the gigantic undertakings of the
world and its people. When man
evolves great idea in a practical in
ventlon, it thrills; when an author
writes real great story, it
thrills: when Caruso's golden notes
find their response in the soul, it
thrills; when rich man gives of his
vast wealth for public good, it thrills;
when the sunrise melts the night, it
thrills; and when one looks on a
babe that has just come into the
world, it thrills.
Life is full of thrills! They come
to us every day. A thrill sets the
nervous system aglow and gives zest
the circulation. 1t keeps one from
getting sluggish, dissatisfied, mo
rose and uncharitable. But one
must fight against the feeling that
one is growing old. One must never
nurse the obsession that the years
cut off ones capacity for enjoyment
or usefulness. Those who drift into
rut because their mirror reflects a
few gray hairs will find their later
years creating in their minds only
lack of interest and appreciation
the great thrill killer of them all.
The spirit of youth is only made
lasting by training the mind to see
all things with the same exultant
thrill that Christopher Columbus
must have experienced when he
glimpsed America the day after his
crew threatened to place him in
irons for Turing them on voyage
that seemed to have only death for a

The Postponement Was Part Of Wisdom.

The July Mississippian of Gulfport.l
The Greene County Herald. James
Faux editor, ex- president OF the AS
ISOLATION and good fellow. says the
postponement was piece of wisdom.
The following endorsement OF that
action is much appreciated:
AT recent meeting OF the Trus-
tees OF the Mississippi Centennial Ex-
position, it was decided from patriotic
reason to put off the holding of such
exposition for about fifteen months,
that is to postpone the time of open
to February %, 1919. They have al
50 rendered the use of the grounds
to the war department for soldiers
training camp ground, something
like Chicamauga was during the
Spanish-American war. As one of
the ultimate aims of the ultimate
aims of the Exposition grounds is to
make them permanent site for the
State encampment each year of the
Mississippi troops, the pre-use ofitsby
Federal troops will but tend to make
it more in that capacity. The post
ponement of the opening time of the
Exposition was a piece of wisdom
which will be shown more as
the months OF the war wears
onward -

Finding The Brighter Side OF War.

Truly every dark cloud has silver
lining. War in any form is not to be
desired but war prices instead of be-
the undolng of this country will sure
ly bring prosperity heretofore I'M
known. There is demand for any
thing and everything and plenty of
cash to pay for it.. Prices for cotton
and food products, just those crops
that can easily be produced in this
section, were never better. Plant
wisely and work indus triously and
prosperity is sure.

From announcements which hav

From announcements which have
come through the daily press dis
patches, we presume there is no long
er any doubt about Gov. Bilbo ca l.
ing special session OF the legisla-
ture within few weeks, as it was
stated his mind was made up in
that respect. The motive assigned
for calling the state lawmakers into
session this near upon the eve of the
regular term-they are to meet in
January next-is to adopt legis alton
fixing 100 per cent assessment valu-
alton and thereby lowering the state
levy from six toNpossibly mills.
Some counties are reported to have
given in their assessment this year
AT very nearly 100 per cent. This is
the year of the realty assessment
which holds two years and has to be
settled early IN the fall as 70 its ac.
ceptance bv the various county SUI
pervisors and the State Tax Equal
ization board as WE'LL This will be
the first time the Tax Equalization
board has dealt with the realty rolls.
as last year was it's first to get into
operation since it was created and
then 1t had only the personal rolls.
A great many question the wisdom
of assembling the legislature at this
time, with the people troubled with
the war question as they are and an
outburst OF disturbing state politics
to follow the getting together of the
solons. but If the purpose sought can
be accomplished it will be worth
while to the state for such special ses-
sion to have been held, but its going
to prove knotty problem as gener-
rally acknowledged to get al. coun-
ties up to the desired figures on as
sessment values. the point necessary
to be reached before the act lowering
the state mill lew can be adopted
without jeopardy to the condition Of
the state treasury.

Large sums of money have already

Gazette. Beauford, S. C.
We get IN the habit of carelessly
thinking of our modern law maker
as one OF the old law givers; as one
set conceivlng, framing and promul-
eating statutes for listening popu-
lace; as one on whom is the RESPONSE
bility OF the whole business of legis-
lation. While, as matter of fact,
the law has usually grown to full
stature before the legislature sits.
; hat branch of our government is,
as a rule, but a dial that registers
the advance of public opinion. II
should be SO. Laws may occasionally
march before the ideas of the multi
tude and lead them on. as when some
genius perceives need and frames q
legislative remedy in advance of pub.
lie sentiment. Dr we may recall
some masterful leader directing the
Legislative hand in writing a move

sometimes brings disaster IN its

THRIFT TALKS.
No, "a THRIFT AND THE HABIT OF
, INDUSTRY.

tOOdCttfO
2. Systematic saving.
3. Wise investing.
4. Constant attending.
With this arrangement productive
industry is at the base-the real
foundation of thrift. We must,
somehow, get back to that doctrine.
In home, in school, in college, in life,
we must recognize the fact that in
dustry bottoms thrift. A man may
have great wealth without industry,
for he may inherit it or he may steal
it, but he can not be- thrifty without
industry. Whatever, therefore, pro
duces industry produces thrift, pro-
vided, OF course that this industry
is followed by the other essentials of
thrift. The child is naturally indus
trious. Grown ups may be lazy. and
even child which has gone to school
too long, or rather has been sent to
school too much, may be law, but
the normal child Is full of industry.
Couple this industry up good and
close with the innate desire for own
ership and on these as foundation
begin the teaching of thrift. Mod
ern school methods are recognizing
this child quality of industry and at
tempting to train up the child in
the way he would go so that when be
is old he will not depart from it. -
This is training for vocations, train
ing ia vocations, and establishing in
ones life work So that completion of
a school course places the pupil IN a
position to begin from where he is
and work normally along the line of
his training. This is the meaning
of all the thought on correlation of
of home and school, church and
school, school and life. 1t all means
that the home. the school, the church,
shall recognize the fundamental fact
of child activity and train in activity.
There will then be no breaking of
the child's will. no subduirg of his
active propensities no shutting
HIM in from his childish desires, but
an intelligent directing of all his en-
ergies and industrious propensities
in the way in which he would
go.

Says Greene County Should Be There.

The (GulfporD Mississippian for Julyl
The Greene County Herald saws
that it would almost be a crime for
that county not to be represented
with the Exposition almost at her
doors. Here is how James Faux feels
about the matter:
Herald is not saying how much
money should be appropriated prob
ably less than they ask for-nor when
such appropriation should be made,
but we do think our County could
hardly fail to provide in some reason
able way to be represented at such a
great fair of the State, staged as it is
almost at our doors. We trust
proper study of this matter will re-
suit in some appropriate handling OF
1t for the best interest of good old
Greene in the years to come as an
enterprislng part of the State.
