THIS APPLIES TO ALL.

m an address recently before the
Quitman Chamber Of Commerce,
says The Triton Gazette, w. C.
Vereen, of Moultrie, gave voice to
this golden thought nugget which ap-
plies directly to every individual and
every community. he said:
"Co-operation and courage in
sticking to progressive program is
needed in every community now. It
would be suicidal for the local mer-
chant to stop advertising now, for
that brings trade, and it is equally as
bad for the farmer to stop taking his
home paper, because one advertise
ment in it may save him the most of
this paper.
People do not move to dead towns,
orr go there to trade. Advertising
builds business. TIE three vitality i'm
portant factors in building town are
advertising in the newspaper, adver-
Using through the Chamber of Copl-
merce and community cooperation. F."

WHO COT The MONEY!

MAN false notions about wages
40 and profits during the war boom
are exploded by the preliminary an
alysis of the 1920 census of manu-
featuring in United States.
The average wage-earner received
1882 for his work during the year
1914. In 1919 he got $1159, or a
trifle less than $500 month. The
gain was about 100 per cent-almost
exactly. In rough figures, it match
ed increase IN cost Of living.
The white collar jobs" did not
fare as well. The pay of the aver
age salaried employee in manufactur-
ing establishments was si335 in 1914.
1t rose to S1999 in 1919, gain of
a trifle less than SO per cent.
What was labor's share of the to-
tal! The census answers, as ae-
curately as ever will be possible.

EDITO RIA L .
A WORTHY NEGRO.

A MoNG the negroes of Sumter
~ county, the case of Virgil Will
liams stands out as worthy of COM
mendation on the part of the pro-
gressiye white people of this COM
munity and emulation by the men,
bers of his race.
Virgil, who is az years of age,
lives four miles out of Americas on
the Lacrosse road. He has worked
on a farm all his life and was reared
in the immediate vicinity in which he
now resides. For five years he hired
out for wages, then rented land for
eleven years from the people for
whom he worked, having won their
confidence and esteem. From this
savings eight years ago he bought
202 1-2 acres, on which he now lives,
from T. G.. Hudson, former commits
sioner of agriculture, agreeing to
pay $1,000, giving $500 in cash and
the remainder in notes payable in
seven years. He worked hard and
prospered, and paid out the notes in
five years.
With his land paid for, he began
to save money with which to build
a modern home for his family, and
he gradually accumulated what he
thought was sufficient. He is now
completing a handsome country home
costing $4,000, all paid for. except
a few hundred dollars which he had
to borrow, finding like other persons
who build that the final cost exceed
ed the estimate.
Virgil says he has never drunk
liquor, never gambled and never own.
ed an automobile. He believes in
good schools and supports the schools
and churches literally, but he hasn't
time for secret societies.
In other words, he is just plain
good citizen, who has found the key
to success.

for this county is about $4,000, OF

edness: thou hast said, None seeth
me. Therefore shall evil come upon
thee; thou shalt not know from
whence it comethy.-Isaiah 47:1o-11l

to bend
To mean devices for sordid end
Courage, an independent spark from

BY which the soul stands raised, tri-

Great in itself, not praises of the
crowd,
Above all vice, it stoops not to be
proud.

The total value or selling price of

$37, 380,124, 900, the value of mate
rails used in manufacturing. The bal
ance was spent like this:

Salaries, $2,893, O46,0 900.
This leaves latter paying for ma

Out of this came overhead expens-
es, including taxes, rent, depreciation
funds and interest on loans. What
was left went as profits on investment
of $44,776,006,0O0, which enormous
figure was the combined capitaliza-
ton. of all manufacturing establish
ments in 1919.
Bringing 1919 manufacturing down
to small figures, out of every 1924
received in sale of products, 1914
went for raw and other materials,
$105 for wages, 500 for salaries, leav-
ing SIG for taxes, depreciation, rent
and all other overhead, also profits.
1t is obvious that, in manufacturing
tneither wages nor profits were, on
the average and excluding exceptions,
as great as has been generally be-
| lieved.
1t looks big on paper, but the fig
ures were in terms of inflated dol
