your PISTOL. If YOU HAVE ONE

Two men in a neighboring city had
difficulty. One of the men habitually
carried a pistol. One night not long
after the difficulty the two men rass-
ed each other on the street and ac-
cidentally brushed against each 9TH
er. The man who had the pistol drew
his weapon and shot his rival dead.
He was hailed into curt and brought
to trial. He put up the plea of self
Tense; he said he believed his life
was in danger and that he had shot
to save himself.
But the fact stood out that he was
carrying deadly weapon, IN viola
ton of the law. The jury found him
guilty of manslaughter and he will
have to serve twelve years in the
penitentiary. When he comes out, if
he lives to finish his sentence, he will
be an old and broken man. His useful
fulness will have been gone.
A man cannt plead self-defense
unless he comes into court with clean
hands. The man who killed his neigh
Dor was carrying deadly weopon, in
violation of the law, and so he could
not under the law, plead self-defense.
If the slayer had not had a pistol,
the two men might have had fight
and police court case would have
ended it.
But the man threw his life aw-v
for the benefit of carrying a pistol.
Not only that, he stained his hands
with human blood the stain that is
hardest Of all to wash off
If you have pistol. leave it at
home.

THE SOUTH THE BEST PLACE

Reports made by State and federal
authorities show that there are about
2,OO0,0000 unemployed workers in
the country. Conditions are most
| acute, of course, in and around the
large cities.
Hundreds of thousands of men
walk the streets Of the cities and
towns of New England and the Mid
die West in search OF employment
But there are more than 100000
600 persons in this country. 1t is not
an unusual thing to have unemployed
men in almost every line of industry.
While the situation is bad, it is not
necessarily alarming.
| There is work, of some kind, in this
country for everybody. The wages
may not be all that one might desire,
nor the work Of the most attractive
'lind, but work can be mad at wage
that will mean living.
| There are millions of acres of idle
land. There are thousands of aban-
| doned farms, and thousands of other
farms in need of more help.
There has never been any starva-
tion in this country, nor any general
distress because of lack Of sufficient
food, and there will not be any.
All these idle people will soon ind
work, perhaps at lower wages, but
they will get work and they will live.
1t is gratifying to note that in all
the business and industrial depres-
sion, the South is far better than any
other section of the country. All the
reports show that there is little or no
enforced idleness anywher in the
| South.
The South is the best place IN the
world today.

THE MERCHANT PRINCE
There was an old geezer
And he had lot of sense.
He started up business
On a dollar n eighty cents.
The dolldar was for stock
And the eighty for an ad,
Which brough him three dollars
in day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods
And little more space,
And he played that system
With smile on his face.
The customers flocked
To his two-by-four,
Soon he had to hustle
For regular store.
Up on the square
Where the people pass,
He gobbled up a corner
That was all plate glass.
He fixed up the windows
With the best he had,
And he cold them all about it
In half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming
And never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down
