The Old Home Town

The world is wide they tell us.
But after all is said the world for
most of us is confined IN the limits
of the Old Home Town. The in
frequent visits to the near or per-
haps distant city only tend to bind
our heart strings more firmly to the
little city we call Home. The
towering skyscrapers can never take
in our deep affections the place held
by the architecturallv impossible,
two-story brick that has for years
graced the principal corner in the
old home town. Its crumbling and
discolored walls have for US a mean
ing deeper and more tender than a
palace of the finest marble. To the
eye of the stranger our little
churches have nothing inspiring
but to the folks of the old home
town their spires for many years
nave pointed out higher and bet
ter way. The old school house with
its straight and sober lines is vivid
ly suggestive to our eyes of the in
fuences that nodded our youth, and
piloted our steps in manhood. To
the sophisticated stranger it brings
but passing smile. But he does
net know the life chapters Of the
old home town. To the passing
visitors its people may seem strange
but to US they are friends and neigh.
bors. We have seen them tried
through the years. With faults
from time to time, they are still the
best people in the world, the people
of the old home town. Its life is
their life and only the ignorant can
censure. We love the old home
town because we know it. We are
not unsophisticated, the idle opin-
ion to the contrary. We know the
world and have tasted It's joys, anC
sorrows. We are not strong fol
pretense in the old home town. We
live our own life IN our own way
And because we know the old home
town and its people we wish to bt
there. We know It's ambitions, it!
romance, its joy, It's grlet. And we
know that when the years have
rolled by and we reach the end o.
the chapter that it is in the ole
home town that we shall be held II
kindly remembrance and have
better things said of US than we de
serve, and it will be because WI
have been IN and of the old hom,
town. Its life has been our life
We are willing to see all the worlt
but know that no place can be il
our affections what the old hom
town has been.-Ex.

CAUSE FOR OPTIMISM

An item here and there, statistics
from this source and that, this leg
islation and that, all tend to create a
spirit Of optimism and are an assur-
ance of better times ahead.
Figures have just been released
showing the amount of United States
trade with Germany last year. The
total exports Of raw materials from
the United States to Germany for the
last fiscal year exceeded in value
those Of the pre-War high record year,
1914. Raw cotton was the biggest
single item; in fact, the quantity Of
cotton sent to Germany in the bscal
year just ended is greater than to
any other contry in the world except
to the United Kingdom.
The consumption Of American cot
ton last year was around ten million,
two hundred thousand bales, which
was the smallest year offered.
Reports show that Japan is now
taking practically a normal supply of
American cotton and England is
rapidly reaching that goal With
crop Of eight million two hundred
thousand bales predicted it and with
the great havoc now being wrought
by the boil weavel, the outlook for
cotton is encouraging.
Another factor which should be
considered is the bill now pending in
the Senate which would provide funds
for cotton credits at home, as we'll as
for financing exports, and which also
provides two hundred million dollars
for loans to farmers through the Fed
eral Land Banks.
With all Of these factors taken in
to consideration, together with the
small cost Of producing this We ar's
crop, it looks as if a real handsome
profit would be RELAXED from this
cotton crop. This should serve to
ease conditions considerably, and if
people throughout this section and
the South will only continue to ope-
rate on the same basis they are now
on, will work hard, practice economy,
and attend strictly to business, the
recovery from the period of depres-
sion should be much more rapid than
has generally been expected We see
great hope of the future. The worst
is undoubtedly past and the time
for optimism has undoubtedly arrived

REAL THRILLS
in ARREST OF
CRAZED NEGRO

Officer II. r. Miller, of the Lake
land police force. assisted by Officer
A. b. Hufhan, staged a thrilling cpl
sode shortly after midnight with ne
gro named Levi Jones, but common
ly called Fox"
The officers were called to 315 S.
Virginia Ave, 4 negro having APP
peared there on the back porch. On
the arrival of the officers the negro
was seen across the street, armed
with shotgun. FIe took to his heels
when told to halt, lodging about
houses until he was brought to bay
on Orange St, near Virginia.
He refused to surrender and pointed
his weapon directly at Officer Miller,
who then shot. grazing the man on
the right side of the forehead. The Of
ficer then grappled with the man,
Selling hold on his gun. and getting
strange hold on the fellow
Miller's gun was discharged twice
in the scuffle that ensued. The officer
succeeded in planting his automatic
in the pit of the others abdomen.
when because of a stuck shell it re-
fused to work.
O1hcer Hufhan came to the rescue
and succeeded in getting the negro to
release his hold on the gun. The fell
low then fell to his knees and began
praying, and begging the officers to
spare his life.
The idea in his somewhat bewil-
dered mind was that some negroes in
the Highlands, where he has been
employed, were after him and trying
to mob him for some unknown offense,
of which he protests innocence. He
said he had come to town seeking the
protection of the white citizens. Too
much moOnshine is thought to be the
cause of his condition.
The gun taken from him was found
to be cooked.
Confined in Jail today. Jones has
nothing to say.
