THE INAUGURATION

Woodrow Wilson, with the
major part of the world at war
and America poised on its verge,
consecrated his second Inaugural
ton as President of the United
States Monday with a last mess
age of hope for peace. Stand
ing in the shadows of the ma
TONS Capitol. with his face
turned toward the eastern war
scared skies, the President re-
newed his oath of allegiance to
the Constitution, praying to God
that he might be given wisdom
and prudence to do his duty in
the spirit of the American people.
While trumpets blared and
martial requirements ratified
prophetically about him, the
President pictured the deep
wrongs the United States
patiently had borne in the con-
f1ict of other peoples without
wishing to wrong or injure in
return. Asserting that the
tragedies of another continent
had removed provincialism and
made Americans citizens of the
world, and that the principles of
this republic should be applied
to a liberation of mankind, he
resolutely voiced a determination
that America. standing firm in
armed neutrality, " must demon
state her claim to a minimum
of right and freedom of action"
in world affairs.
Peculiar interest and signif-
icance, in the light of his rebuke
to Senators who prevented pass
age of the Armed Neutrality bill,
were attached to the Presidents
assertion on this point. Even
more interest and concern were
aroused when he added:
I'VE may even be drawn on,
by circumstances, not by our
own purpose or desire, to a more
active assertion of our rights as
we see them and more immed-
late association with the great
struggle itself. But nothing will
alter our thought or our purpose.
We desire neither conquest nor
advantage. We wish nothing that
can be had only at the cost of
another people. We have al
ways professed unselfsh purpose
and we covet the opportunity to
prove that our professions are
sincere. :"
Making no attempt to review
the legislative record of the last
four years, the President said
that this was no time for retro
spect. The time was one to
speak of thoughts and purposes
for the immediate future. To
be Indifferent to the influence of
the war upon America or indie
pendent of it, he said, was i'm
possible, and he was firm in the
conviction that the part this
country wished to play in the
vital turmoil was the part of
those who mean to vindicate
and fortify peace. :"
These were the dominant
thoughts of the President as he
addressed the cheering multitude
in the broad piazza of the Capitol
grounds. In the assemblage be-
fore him American citizens of all
nations had sung America"
with mighty voice while wait
ing for his appearance on the in
augural. And in the procession
which followed him to the White
House and passed in review "a
composite and cosmopolitan
people" gave graphic evidence
of loyalty and patriotism.

THE MAN OF DESTINY.

Somehow we rather like that let
ter Of Lord Lansdowne. Why should
we not stop this war and have peace
before all the nations Of the world are
utterly exhausted and famine and pes
thence rage over the land. II we
ever have peace there must be mutual
understanding and there must be con-
cessions on all sides. what will be
the value of the blessings Of peace to
nations so exhausted that they can
scarcely stretch forth a hand to grasp
them" Lord Lansdowne further
says that We should let it be known
that we do not want the complete an
initiation to the German empire as a
great power; that we do not. desire
to impose uron the German people
form of government against their
wishes; that we do not desire to deny
her a place among the great CONNER
cial countries; that after the war we
are willing to enter an international
pact to settle disputes by peaceful
means. Now what is wrong with
that statement? We notice that it
does not please some of the leaders
among the allies.
We notice also that President Will
son is to answer the letter for the
allies. We have said all along that
we believed that Mr. Wilson is man
of destiny and that it would be up
to him to terminate this war and this
may be his opportunity to start some
thing that will bring peace to the
world. Let us hope so.

We see by the papers that the gov
ernor was to have and suppose did
have thirteen different kinds OF veg
etables on his table for Thanksgiv-
ing and that they were raised by Mr.
Cocker and another man on their win
fer gardens We suppose the idea
was to let the people know what can
be done with a winter garden in this
favored land Of ours. Yet one can
not help thinking that in this day
when all these men in position are
going around over the State making
speeches and telling the people by
circulars the Importance and neces-
sity Of conserving food such variety
on the table for one meal by the head
OF the government is not much Of a
practical demonstration Of the doc
trine they are preaching. Better had
given some of those vegetables to
some of the poor fellows who were
not able even to have five meat days
in the week and not to speak Of the
lack of the thanksgiving bird. But
then it has always been so. There
is generally a great gulf between
theory and practice and we reckon il
the fellow can have all these good
things the fellow who hath not even
that little that he hath shall be de-
MED him.

4 GOOD ORDINANCE.

That is a good ordinance that city
sauncil has adopted if it will only be
ssforced. We have a way in this
town of starting out with a ven
uaance in the enforcement OF tne
laws and then all of sudden II
sesms that the thing has passed lnt'
oblivion.
Practically the same ordinance Is
NOW on the statutes Of the town. al
. shoush it may be a little more sweep
,.p in its provisions, and this oro'-
nance does not repeal it so it is slil
- force and effect. This other ordi-
nance was passed under the admins
tration Of Cole L. Blease as mayor
.nd If cleared the public square Oh
all vehicles and it was en1orceo hoA
+;n,a and then it went into innocu-
o,s dessuetude or something like
that At any rate no attention was
,o;d 70 it. Chief Redelsperger mas
ordered the enforcement of the new
a;,anoo hut he will have to put
his stop signs lower down SO ena'
the drivers may be able to see theni'
GO these signs are ignored every
Jay.
It is a pity that it is necessary TO
have So many laws to regulate "n''
should be regulated by common
sense and what should be recosnlzeu
Inv every good citizen as the proper
4bine to do, without being forced 10
do it by some sort OF law ou' IN 'n'
,r0sont temper of the people it seems
necessary. No one seems to have any
rooard for the rights of the other fel-
low in these days OF rush and stress
and pressure and high tension. Anu
therefore, it is necessary in order TO
protect the weak and the innocent TO
have laws to regulate the conouce ol
tadividuals.
But the further we advance in civil
,,ation the more it seems that we
mood laws to regulate the conduct OF
individuals and to make them nave
regard for the rights of the osner
sa,how It seems also that the ei-
fish side of our nature develops 'as
faster as we advance.

statement the cash was only about

November says nearly s90,0o0.O0.
And the deposits have gone
in the same time from S56,00000 to
S155, 100000. and one-third of this in
the savings department. Loans show
a decrease of about $25,0O00O. But
that is going some. Almost equal in
increase to the Palmetto National
and we believe is larger in proportion.
The Pomaria bank has only $l5.-
10000 capital stock and the Peoples
National only s25,oOo.oo. Well. we
are pleased to see money plentiful.
We congratulate President Wheeler

SOME STATEMENTS

All of the banks hereaDost nave
made most excellent statements III
rasnonse to the last call by the State
hank examiner. The Commercial anu
tbe National are near the million dol
lar mark and tho Exchange is close
to half million dollars. And they
have plentyoof cash and good depos-
its.
But we are especially struck by
the excellent statment of the Peoples
National bank of Prosperity which we
are printing today, 1t has more than
doubled in every department since
the statment that was published in
Bartender except in the amount or
loans and discounts and then the bank
has no money borrowed of course.
The statement shows a net proht in
crease since September IA to NoVem-
ber 20 of over s3,50oO0. Cash on hand
September IA was about s4c,ooo.0O and
On November 20 the statement shows
a little over s1SS, 100000. And the in
dividual deposits subject to check
have gone from sS1, ,eoo.Oe to s162,o0o.-
90, and "time deposits" which we sup
pose means savings deposits have
gone to $3.50, 100000 and over. These
people down in that section have
money. The amount of loans snd dis
counts has decreased about s7o,oo0.00
But, gee, this bank has been going

SOW WHEAT IL IOI' EAT BREAD.

SOW WHEAT II iVi Eii oNEAD.
County Demonstration Agent 7. NJ.
Mills prints an article in this paper
urging the farmers to SOW wheat, and
makes the statement that last year
this county did not grow more than
ten per cent of the bread consumed
by the people of the county, and adds
that for this next year so far as he
has been able to learn the increase
in acreage has Been about 10 per
cent That is a good increase but IL
is not sufficient yet to furnish bread
for the reople of the county. He also
adds that unless there is more wheat
planted the time may come next year
when there will be people wanting
four bread and there will 5e none to
be had The moral is plain and
easily seen. If you expect to eat
wheat bread you had better plant
more wheat.
Only last Saturday morning there
was no sugar in this town, and we talk
Ell with farmers from the county who
wanted sugar and had money to
raw for it, but the money did not
bring sugar. Late in the afternoon
some cl the merchants managed 10
get a shipment, md the scene at the
Summer Brothers company reminded
one of a worse scramble than he had
ever seen at a free barbecue, when
if looked that the rations were go
ino TO be scarce; and only small
quantities of sugar were given to
each customer. We can do without
sugar, but it would be hard to get
along. without bread. If we DO not
grow more wheat in this section the
time may come when even 80 cents
cotton will be lacking in the ability
to furnish bread, just as it was for
a few days when it could not fur
nish sugar There is no excuse for
not growing plenty Of bread in this
county to feed the reop}e OF the
county, But the trouble is the farmers
themselves as class do rot grow
enough wheat to make -four for their
own plantations. You can see far-
mers' wagons going out of town every
day loaded with -four.
