man that fndeth wisdom"
Never one time in the scriptures
are we told to get money. 1t is not
the goal to be reached. Money does
not always bring lasting things of
life on which our children can build
their future. knowledge does give
them refinement. culture, grace, and
other virtues which cannot be taken
away.
AS true Southerner, of course we
do not admire Abraham Lincoln. but
we can in some measure admit his
thirst and zeal for knowledge as a
noble example, how he, while yet a
barefoot boy, would climb to his
room in the attic, and by a dim can
die light read and study past mid
night. His determination to learn
brought him honor and success.
Money is SO often acqu red by
wrong means, and often brings shame
and disgrace. Do we not want our
children to possess that which is en-
during, that which cannot 5e bought,
but which they can hold long after
riches have taken their fight. It is
said that a little learning is a dan
gerous thing; but Of course we want
them to seek for the knowledge in it's
truest and broadest sense, which en-
braces all that is worthy and best.
Money does not always bring hap
piness, success or honor, nro can it
promise anything, beyond the grave
The heart that is noble and pure, the
head that is wise and prudent have
in store more than gold can reach.
Then shall we not show lr children
how much better it is to get wisdom
than gold and to get understanding
rathan than silver, and knowledge is
a well spring of life unnto him that
hath it.

"POP" ANSON'S DEATH
REVIVES MEMORIES
Old Days in Baseball When a Club
Was Like Crowd Mischievous
Boys

New York, April 17.-"Pop" An
sons death in Chicago has caused
baseball veterans here to turn back
the pages of time to the years when
a major baseball club was more like
a crowd of mischievous boys who
spent their time on and off the field
teasing good natured taskmaster.
Anson's demise also brought to
Fight the fact that Commissioner
Kennesaw Lands was preparing to
create some position in his retinue
for the daddy of baseball" and that
he had discussed the proposal with
Manager John j. McGraw Of the New
York Nationals during the training
season in the south.
In revealing this information Man
ager McGraw told how Anson had
declined offers of leagues and clubs
to designate a day to celebrate him
and to fill his empty purse with the
gate receipts, for many unfortunate
ventures had swallowed the funds the
veteran accumulated in his prime.
"He was too proud to accept it," Nc
Graw explained.
Arson made his players work hard,
and especially diligently during the
training season, Bill Dahlen recount
ed today. After one days hard prac-
tice, Arson, a powerful and rugged
man, ordered his men to follow him
on run around the field. "He led US
around about six times until some one
noticed q BOARD off the fence said
Dahlen.
''First couple dropped out; the
next time two more, until finally An
son was running all alone and none
the wiser. When he became tired
he stopped and turned around and
came to the hole. He thought it was
good joke but he was mad"
Everybody on the m.liked An
son." said Dahlen. "Maybe that's
why we teased him so much. He'd
get mad and wouldn't speak for sew
eral days, and he'd come around
and invite the culprits over to his
home for Sunday dinner, or pass it
off in some equally good way. He
didn't go around with the crowd, ne
was married and had a home in Chi
cago and liked to be in.''
Arson was responsible for the en-
try of Charles Murphy and Charles
P. Taft in the baseball business. Nc
Graw recalled. To finance a billiard
academy when he quit the game An
son borrowed $4,000 from Murphy
and Taft, using his stock in the Chi
cago club as security. When Anson's
venture failed Murphy and Taft
used the $4,000 stock as an entering
wedge.

Money is said to be the root of all
evil and we have seen it proved too
often that the desire for money has
caused untold misery and crime and
the greed for it has sent many an un-
saved soul to perdition. Money in
the right place is all right but our
children should never have it set be-
fore them as the one and only thing
to desire. But let US hold up to
them the banner on which is written
knowledge that gives an understand
ig heart and brings peace to their
souls.

Knowledge VS.. Money

Do we hold knowledge as an ideal
to our children rather than money?
If we should consider this subject
as a direct question and ask ourselves
if we hold money as an ideal rather
than knowledge, I fear too many of
US would with shame answer yes.
Not that we do in direct way, but
too often indirectly. We encourage
our children to see often the worldly
requirements that money controls.
This is fast age or century in which
our children are living and on every
side, in every path of life, the al
mighty dollar is promontory.
The get-r;ck-quick spirit has satur-
ated US and is taking hold of our chill
dren. They see chance to make
money and otter we mothers as well
as fathers are too eager for them to
leave school. Just for the sake Of
seeing money coming in, knowledge
or understanding is crowded out.
We should impress upon them the
Importance Of first learning, then ac-
quiring something. The more eff
fcient they are in their studies the
better prepared for life -hey are. The
more they learn of our English gram
mar, mathematics, history, geogra-
ply, civics, ETC., the more competent
salesmen, bookkeepers, bankers.
teachers they make; and even our
farmers, or planters we call them
now, by learning and studying the
modern methods are better prepared
to live and enjoy life.
Money alone does not bring sue
cess. Understanding or knowledge
fingers when money vanishes. When
Solomon was made king God asked
what should He give him and he re-
Piled, wisdom or knowledge. SO we
find he not only received this but
other blessings were given him. He
did not say, Lord, give me riches.
But by his knowledge he acquired
honor and became the wisest man in
all the world. He tells US in Prov
erbs that wisdom's ways are ways of
pleasantness and all her paths are
peace, and it is far above the price
! of rr5ies. 1t cannot be valued with
gold. Solomon gives this advice to
hsi son when he became king and as
his ideal. "Wisdom is the principal
thing, therefore get wisdom, and with
all thy getting, get understanding" "
Proverbs, Al. Also he says,
''Take hold of knowledge and keep
her, for she is thy life. Happy is the
but let everyone Of US align ourselves
with the chamber of commerc and
encourage them along in their efforts
to bring other enterprises to Newber-
ry county.

there is no doubt. Even under extra
! ordinary rainy conditions such as oc-
CURED in some sections Of the South
| in 1921, it is popssible to make fair
crop, but it is not probable, for the
reason that the average cotton farm
er is not yet willing to do what is
necessary under such extreme condi-
tons to successfully fight the boil
weevil.
The belief that the Southeast will
ALWAYS make fair to good crop un-
der average summer climatic condi-
tions is based on the observations Of
what has occurred with similar wea-
ther further West.
Take that part Of the Mississippi
delta region that according to the
weather reports has a summer rain
fall equal to that of large portion
of the Southeast. Cotton continues
to be the major crop there. Though
the rainfall of the two sections IS
the same, it is believed that the rain
fall will not handicap the cotton
farmer of the Southeast, so far as
boil weevil control is concerned, >as
much as it handicaps the delta farm
er. There are two main reasons.
Delta cotton is slower in setting and
maturing fruit than Southeastern cot
ton, which brings the period OF fruit
inc and maximum boil weevil infesta-
ton more nearly together than will
be the case in the Southeast. In the
second place. the vegetative growth
of cotton in the delta is greater and
the boil weevil is more protected
from the retarding influence of the
sun there than m the Southeast
So it would seem that if the delta of
the Mississippi can grow cotton un-
der boil weevil conditions in spite of
its heavy rainfall, then the rainfall
of the Southeast ought not to knock
out cotton growing.
Referring to the extreme southern
part of Georgia again. According to
government report, that region gets
more inches of rainfall than the
Southeast in general, yet that part
of the state is getting along better
than the territory further north
where the average rainfall is less.
Well drained sandy soils of the
coastal plains are not going to sui
fer from the increase of boil weevils
caused by rains as much of the clayey
or heavy soils Of the Piedmont be-
cause the cotton is further advanced
in the coastal plains and there is less
of it subject to damage when the boil
weevil has come in force.
The area in the South, where the
boil weevil will have to be fought
hardest is the lower Piedmont where
the soils are heavy; slow in maturing
their cotton; where the winter is not
cold enough to greatly reduce the
weevils; where the small farm and
abundant forest is the order and
where the precipitation of rain is
heavy.
But after all is said, the summer
rainfall Of the Southeast will con-
tinue to be an advantage in proper
ton to the fight that the farmer puts
up against the boil weevil.
! When the cotton farmer learns to
use calcium arsenate with success,
the average rainfall of the Southeast
will continue to be considered an ad-
vantage as compared to the drier
western section of the cotton belt.
: To hold down the cotton acreage
and to learn to fight the boil weevil
successfully are the first obligations
for the. cotton farmer Of the South
, east to assume with earnest devotion,
his welfare demanding it.

pleasure" Slogan Has
Cost Industry Millions
of Dollars

The word pleasure" as used in
connection with the automobile has
cost the automobile industry many
millions Of dollars. At first, too eX-
pensiVe to be within the reach Of
any but the rich. the automobile
was used chiefly for recreation,
even when it same within reach of
the average family, and was used
| by the doctor the salesman and the
rural postman the Pleasure idea
still persisted.
This is held responsible for plac-
ing war tax on all types of mo-
tor vehicles and chasing them
with cosmetics, jewelry, etc, tax
on the latter, however has now
been removed, but not so the tax
on automobiles.
How ill-advised a word a "nleas-
ure car" can best be Judged from
the following data, taken from
survey of motor owners in ten
states by The National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce. Farmers,
doctors, lawyers, statesmen, con-
tractors, real estate and insurance
men, were found to be the best GUS
toners. Ninety percent of All
Automobiles are more or less used
directly for business travel, seven
ty-eight percent in the case CT the
farmers automobile. Thirty-four
percent of the mileage is a substi-
tute for trolley and railroad travel
or where these means of transport
tation are not available. Thirty
seven percent Of automobile own
crs reported that their cars inn
proved their living conditions, and
fifty percent reported increased
efficiency in business through the
ownership Of an automobile, and
in the case of the farmer sixty
eight percent.
Much interesting data was offer
cd by individual owners, as in the
case Of doctors rcporting that by
use of his car it made possible
calling on four times as many pa
TENTS, and to extend his practice
to an adjoining town which had no
doctor Statesmen reported they not
only visited three times as many
customers, but could also live at
home instead of spending three
quarters of their time in trains and
hotels. Business men work in the
cities but live in the country, while
people in the country are able
through the Automobile, to do bus
mess in the city.
Contractors and builders are able
to supervise twice as many con-
tracts, bankers get out among
their dcpostiors and become ac-
quainted with their enterprises
and needs. Wage earners hold bet
ter jobs because able to travel by
