President Wilson did all in his power to keep the country out of war and failed and now it is the duty of every loyal American to aid in every way within his power to help win the conflict for humanity and civilization. Join the Red Cross society to be organized as well as the Defense league. The men who cannot fight can give of their means to carry on the work of these two worthy societies and the ladies can knit mufflers, wrist lets and socks for those who are going to do the fighting. Unless this is done by all there will be more deaths from exposure than bullets among our forces at the front. Let everybody get busy and do his or her part from now until peace is declared.

Tax Assessor R. E. Harris with assistants T. w. Williams and Glen Dykes, and c. B. Wood and J. c. Wallace, the deputy township as- sessors, were here Monday after noon, all day Tuesday and We'd nesday morning and all were kept busy during their entire stay, over 500 persons assessing. The dep uty township assessors raised the assessment of quite a number of tax payers and succeeded in put ting on considerable improvements but we still contend that the prop CT system for assessing taxes is by having an assessor for each town ship who goes into each home ane assesses each individual for just what he owns.

KEEP ON BUI[Drt0.

At no period in our history have we been so sure of the future. The Eastern worlds stomach is feeling the pinch of hunger, and it's de- nands on the products of Ameri- ca's broad acres and American in- dustries are growing with every passing hour. A great market is opening wider and wider. Honest and fair profits in all lines of legiti- mate effort are certain.
 There should be no curtailment in building and road construction. Let both public and private useful construction proceed. Production and handling of building materials and public and private construction work are fundamental industries of the country. Any tendency to suspend or postpone building proj- ects is inconsistent with maintain ing our prosperity. The country IS prosperious. Building investors should not hesitate to go ahead with their plans. Railroads should spare no effort to supply the build ing industry with the cars needed to transport materials. Govern ment, state, county and municipal authorities should encourage the continuance of all kinds of building. Road and street improvements ia particular should go on unabat- cd. Bad roads and streets are fac tors of first importance in the pres ont high cost of foodstuffs. Never before was the improvement of highways more essential.
 The lumber, brick, cement, lime, sand. gravel, stone and other build ing materials industries are basic. Neither government regulations nor railroad restrictions should be imposed unnecessarily to interfere with them. If any action is taken which results in the prostration of so fundamentally important indus tries, there IS real danger of a sur plus of unimployed labor, surplus of railroad cars and crippling of business that will seriously embar- rass the government in financing the war.
 The right thing to do is to keep building.

What the Prosperous South
Ones the Liberty Loan.

AS an agricultural region the Southeast should
play a particularly important part in the new
Liberty loan. When the first loan was offered
last June the farmers engrossed in planting
or cultivating and most of them were in imme-
date need of their surplus money Quite naturally
their subscriptions to the two billion dollar bond
issue were comparatively small. But now when
crops are made and in many instances gathered and
marketed the situation is altogether different and
so should the results be.
1t is conservatively reckoned that the farmers
of the United States will receive for this autumn's
crops FIVE billion dollars more than for any other
harvest in the nations history. The cost OF pro-
duction 1t is true has been greater this year than
usually so that the stupendous increase in crop
values does not by any means represent clear
profit With all due allowance on this point, how
ever it is still evident that this harvestide is one
of exceptional prosperity.
Out of this abundance should come millions in
subscriptions to the Liberty loan. Every dollar
thus invested will be incomparably safe and will
yield interest at the rate of four per cent. Lib
erty bond'is as good gold and a great deal bet
ter for besides being backed by all the power and
resources of the United States security, 1t as
sures its steady and generous increase In
value The main reason. however, why every
farmer should buy at least one Liberty bond rests
on patriotism rather than self-interest
From the days or Lexington ana concord uo"h
through every crisis in American history, the ma
tion's farmers have always stood embattled in
stanchIy loyal ranks. Never there cause that
laid higher claim to their loyalty than the one for
which this three billion dollar loan is being hoated
Our war against German militarism is war to
make this country forever safe against the brutal
tyranny that pillaged and burned the fair fields OF
Belgium and northern France. The same savage
outrages which the Kaiser has heaped upon the
homes of those countries, he will heap upon the
homes of America if he gets the chance. 1t
is to put an everlasting end to this that
are making the preparations for which the new
Liberty loan is needed.
In this season of trimming prosperity, the agri-
cultural Southeast should have difficulty in alb
sorbing the one hundred and thirty-ve million dol
lars worth of Liberty bonds which it is expected
to take only the rural districts but the towns
and cities also should respond with extraordinary
enthusiasm for they also will all feel the effect of
the enrching harvest season.

A Heavy Purse; a Light Heart.

For a picture of heavy-pursed light-hearted
prosperity it would be hard to surpass this
from the Greenville (Alaoama) Advocate:
"A ride over Butler county will show many
thousands of acres covered with and
beans so thick that the ground cannot be
seen. Potatoes, peas, peanuts and sugar
cane are in evidence everywhere, and last,
but not least, herds of cattle and hogs are to
be found on every farm. Every family with
but a few exceptions has good vegetable
garden of which they have been and still
enjoying the fruits The county will not only
feed itself but will ship hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of foodstuffs to help
feed the world"
The most pleasing thing about this portrait of
prosperity is its faithful likeness to any number of
other Southern counties There of
Georgia countrysides that fit the description pre-
cisely. That is why times are so good this autumn
and that is why spirit of economic independence
such as we never knew before is possessing the
South. The blessings of the revolution which over
threw the tyranny of cotton are especially manifest
at this iuncture when foodstuffs high-prced
and so essential to the winning of the But
there will be no end to the benefits that Southern
agriculture and indeed every field of Southern in
terests will enjoy as a result of having broken
away from the old precarious one-crop system
