American business has reacted from the

There is yet considerable unemployment, but
the business of the country is on the upward
grade. Every day some reports that new in

have resumed activity or have restored their
number of employees to normal. Cheer-up, be-
fore many months, unless all signs fail, there
will be work enough for all who want to work.

THIS WEEKS THOT.
H /. v. A. SLOGAN.

Again the /. v. A. carry the nefarious work
ings of big bankers, the grain gamblers and
other forces into politics barefaced, by offering
the slogan for the summer Recall campaign:
"Plow, plant and prosper" Sounds nice, don't
it, worded by that fowery orator, lefty"
O'Connor.
But Mr.. Farmer. the day "Jefty" drew the
applause of his cohorts in the I. V. A. conven-
ton in Devils Lake, q report reached the grain
gambling centers that the Texas crops were in
excellent indication and pointed to an enormous
yield, at the same time, winter wheat in the
north was reported in excellent condition.
Bingo! the market dropped off. Why? You
farmers, who think, know it is the old story
being worked to a fare-thee we'll. Big yields
knock out the price, far beyond the net in
crease you would get by the extra bushels you
harvested. 1t is the trick of the boards of
trades-the grain gamblers.
Then just consider this: If you were to quit
trading at the stores in your community. Mr..
Merchant would quit buying such heavy stocks
- he would if the purchasing was brisk among
you-and his price nearly always is maintained
ut somewhere near an average level. Did you
ever see the merchant when he got a report that
business was going to be slow who began at
snce to increase his buying. True, Mr.. Mer-
chant has q stock on hand which he paid for
and must get out from under-so has the farm
er his wheat on hand and to raise. Why
shouldn't he, the farmer, be in the same posi-
ton as the merchant and curtail the supply.
When We say to you, there is more to farm
ing than just the raising of a big crop, we advise
you to do rs the merchant. produce or supply
what is necessary to maintain your price and
make a fair profit. 1t is no discredit or reflec-
ton on the merchant to efficiently operate his
business, and neither is it a discredit to you to
do likewise.
A Courier-News editorial recently in speak
ing OF the "Jefty" slogan, said: us he merely an
ignoramus, in other words or is he consciously
giving farmers advice cunningly devised to keep
them in subsection to the gamblers and big
bankers who in the year 1920 robbed them of
$4,000, 0O0, 900 on the value of their crops"

1t is estimated that SIS 5000, 600, 900 are neces-

Everywhere there is a demand for houses and
everywhere there is a hesitancy in regard to
building them, on account Of the excessive cost
of construction. People who are the most urg-
ent in their demands for houses have no money
to build or buy them.

As an humble booster il the bunch

county on the twenty-first of June,
we purpose here TO refresh the mem
DRY Of the old and excite the interest
Of the young as a recompense in part
for courtesies received
In addition to professionals in
various lines, we had tombstone
manufacturer along--the man who
has the last say.
We were not reading epitaphs on

sometimes interesting, nevertheless;
for instance, colored mans "Jesus,
I've done what you told me; come
and get me-" And this, more perhaps
in keeping with the times, Il was
we'll; | wanted to be better; ! am
here"
History and epitaphs are first
cousins; hence this association as an
introductory; for what we shall say
will be largely quotations from that
excellept History Of Pickens County,
Alabama, by Nelson #. Smith, 1855.
Alabama was admitted into the
Union in 1919, and Pickens was con-
nected with Tuscaloosa county as
civil and political division up to 1920.
il was named for Israel Pickens, the
second governor. The first settlement
in the county was made by Josiah
lilly who located himself in the year
1917. Courts were organized in 1921,
and as the high sheriff executes their
DEGREES and mandates, we will give
some history of the first workings
just as we find it:
"Old Judge Lipscomb held the first
circuit court, and Mr.. Adino Griffin
was the first high sheriff
The Judge told the sheriff to open
court.
Sheriff: 81 open court! ! don't
know any more how TO open court
than bob-tail ram!"
Judge: go to the door and say
what | tell you"
(Sheriff goes to the door,
Judge: "Now cry out, % Yes! o.
Yes! O Yes!"
Sheriff; 30 Yes! 0 Yesl o.
Yes!"
Judge: "Now open court"
Sheriff: II open court, open
court, / open COURT"
Judge (now vexed at officerJ:
"Now you've done it.
Sheriff: snow I've done it. now
I've done it, now I've done it,"
Mr.. Griffin later MOVED TO
Capitals ours.)
Mr.. Henry White was the fourth
sheriff of Pickens. and came near
being sent to Jail on one occasion for
contempt of court. He was asleep,
when Judge Lipscomb inquired
Where is the sheriff."
Henry rose suddenly from a back |
bench and cried out:
Here is the peoples ehoicew
1t is said that he once levied on a
.raet of land to satisfy an execution,
and took bond for the DELIVERY of

vas Jesse Bryan, who has a more ex-
ensive reputation than any of his pre-
lecessors or successors. On reach
ng Montgomery, with the returns of
. presidential election. he was intro
luced to the secretary of state.
Il am happy to know you, Mr..

'lied the sheriff; "for, since put on
