We feel sure that Il great burden
can be taken from this man without
anybody mountaineering himself to
any great cXtent--.simply by meeting
the small obligations that have been
assumed
The greater part Of this business
Is, Mr.. Zachary informs us, within
Oconee county. Knowing the people
of Oconee as we do. we feel sure that
MIR. Zachary will find the relief that
lie needs. Yet he tells us that If his
business continues as it has begun
on the fall delivery, he Is in danger
OF great loss.
We would not mention these facts
but for the reason that it is along the
line OF Sermons" we have been
preaching" these many years-the
necessity for-the duty of-meeting
personal obligations. especially at
such times as these. when business
conditions at best are badly dsorgan-
izcd. We are too prone to feel that
"my obligation is small: it will not
matter much IL just neglect it for
while: or 1t is so small that can
fail to meet 1t without material in
jury to any one
There never was greater mis-
take made. The whole business sit
uation hinges on the individual meet
ing his obligation at the appointed
time, no matter how small-and the
larger the obligation the greater the
importance Of meeting it. One man
fails to meet his obligations: another's
larger obligation is dependent upon
it. Two obligations have been set at
naught. This condition constitutes
an endless chain. and the strength or
weakness Of this business chain is
determined by the keeping intact of
all the links or the breaking Of them

1t has been Il sort Of hobby with

to us that meeting obligations forms

ness. safe and sane business. rests.
II is not Il great big deal that has

point to our attention and caused us
TO deem it worth while making pub
lie reference to the matter. The num-
br Of dollars involved is less than
ten thousand. but the man concerned
is getting we'll up in years. and if
those who have obligated themselves
to him fall down. on their promises
and fail to take up the orders they
