-KARD TiSES" TALS,
The tendency to rry "hard times" "a i
loading to the use of some choice lan
guage, and it is hard to imagine any :
particular evil that is not either here
now or coming at an early date. It ls ?
decidedly "fashionable" to cry hard j
times, and some of the correspondents
of The Intelligencer can play lt up In ;
good style. A clipping from an article i
aent In recently from Anderson county ?
gives such a doleful picture that we ;
reproduce I there. It la decidedly of
different tone from the logic of thc <
conversation quoted in Thursday's i
paper, in which the hopeful young far
mer said : "Others need a m blamed (
sight more Sympathy than the farmer. ,
In six months he will have another t
crop to harvest, and anyway he can <
live at home." Yes, we must be optim- '
istlc Things are never so bad that r
they could not be worse. However, we
feel that they cannot get much worse
in the section described by our cor
respondent*"^ saya: I
"The fermera of this section are
very much depressed with cotton 6 3-4
cents per pound and only making
about half a crop and half ot what \
we thought we'd make ls roting and
the-anny worms are here too. So what
ls to become of the farmer?" ,
THE TALE .OF A tte BILL
Everyone ls familiar with the story 1
of tho $10 bill which A paid B and
B paid to C, who. in torn, paid to D.
who was reminded by A that he owed 1
him that amount When al) of the
debtors had settled and all of the
creditors were satisfied A put his $10
bill back into bis pocket and went out '
with a clear conscience to spend it.
The League Enterprise, a Texas
newspaper, may have evolved from tm . i
agination the facts which elaborate
the old story Into the following:
"Joe Smith sold his first bale of cot
ton last week st lob per pound, real- j
.slag SSC cash fur ??S?v. meelina a -
Mend to whom he was Indebted, he
handed him ISO. Tb his pickers he '
paid $12.50. To his grocer he paid $17. 1
and went to -the restaurant and took'
a BO-cent dinner. While at dinner a
friend came tn paid him $60 on an old
debt with the find $20 he had paid out *
of his cotton, sad walking down the
street he met another man who paid,
him $10 which he had collected frcal t
the picker to whom' the farmer had
paid $12.60. Meeting soother man to
whom he was indebted, he paid him
- ?>
$20, and this man turned and han led
it to another party to whom he wat
indebted. Thin man happened to JW>
tho mau who sold the bale $20, an::
handed it to him with the remark 'hu:
that WUK the first money he ha'! col
leeted in six months, and he was glu
to be able to pay li's money, UH hi
owed lt for a year. Tb H man who soli
the hale paid $95 of debts with it, anc
when ready to K\J home found lie stll
had $47.50 left. And could it be ascer
tuined the full amount uf debts Itu
$50 hus puid, it would reach severa
hundred dollars. Vet the seller nat
his $47.f.0 left. This illustrates lirra
much a small amount will pay whei
put in ac tual circulation, 'buy a bale' '
Of course, the League Enterprisi
may he reporting an actual occur
renee. There was no economic fal lit >
in the story of the $10 bill, which pah
140 worth of debts and left $10 in tnt
iiunds of the man who first had it. /
was simply a man who owed no more
than waa due him from another, am
who had $10. All that is set down bj
the League Enterprise might hav?
happened, and If it did not the tale o'
the $50 bill aptly illustrates the ad
vantages that accure to the communit>
when there is money in circulation
Buy a bale of cotton, of course, or t
bushel or a barrel of something else
if you can afford it. If you cannot af
"ord to stimulate the circulation o!
money by that means, and acc?l?rait
the payment of outstanding obliga
lions, pay off a debt with the.casi
you have. The same end will bt
achieved.
"I BUY AT HOME."
Recently The Intelligencer publish
cd au editorial on patronizing mai!
nrder houses to the exclusion of tht
home merchants. A large number of
persons were kind enough to Bay that
lt was a timely expression of warning
that if heeded would keep much mon
J y at home that ls now being sent
away for merchandise that could ae
well be purchased at home, and much
more safely. In reading recently we
came across the following reasons
why ono should buy at home, ano
these are also so much to the point
that we have decided to give the
readers of The Intelligencer the bene
flt of these good reasons, as given out
by Ed De Camp In The Gaffney Led
ger:
Because my interests.
Because the community that la good
enough for me to live In is good
onough for me to buy In.
Because I believe In transacting
business with my friends.
Because I want to see the goods.
Because I want to get what I buy
when I pay for lt
Because every dollar I spend at
home ataya at home and works for
the welfare of my town.
Because the man I buy from stands
uack of the gooda.
Because I sell what I produce here
it home.
Because the man I buy from helps
support my school, my church, my
lodge, my home.
Because, when Ul luck, misfortune
ir bereavement comes, the man
Mi y from la here with hts kindly
greetings, his word of cheer, and his
pocketbook. If need be.
Because I get my living In this

EVERY BI.?PE OF GRASS LIKE A ROSE

Every Made of grass looks like a rose," said an American
as he reached home after weeks of effort trying to get away
from the inferno of war in Europe.
"What thuy had learned to fear in these few weeks was
mankind," writes a correspondent telling of thc dread with
which children in the war zone slink away and hide from
every strange face. They have grown accustomed
said he, to the roar of great guns; they have learned to show
no fright at bursting shells; but the face of a strange man
brings panic to them.
How many millions of these helpless little ones there are
who run in fright' from every strange face! To them
stange faces mean burned homes, dead fathers and mothes,
and all other indescribable sufferings. How many there are
who, cannot understand the reason for the horrors which
make the devil laugh with such fiendish glee as he never o
knew before since the world began! How many aged and o
feeble there are who are being driven totteriftg down to the o
grave by the killing agony of fear, exposure and starvation) ' o
The sufferings of these are greater thf.ri the sufferings of .. o
those on the battlefield. The oi?? have the stimulus of mar- o
liai action, the other have destroying dread by day and by
night, poverty, pain, sickness and suspense as to the loved
ones on the battlefield, as fatal as the bullet in its work.
No wonder that to the American who escapes from such
a region "every blade of grass.looks like a rose." How we
might see roses everywhere if only we would look ; and how
we would magnify our blessings if we stopped to think of
these things! Then every blade of pleasure or of comfort
or of health or of business would suddenly expand into a
glorious rose, fragrant and beautiful. The cotton which
brightens our fielda-atould no longer be regarded as a liability;
we would see its splendid possibilities, even though they may
more slowly unfold themselves than in other seasons; the
corn fields and the wheat shocks, the "lowing herds," and
even the*sleeping hog laxily sunning himself would stimulate
our songs of praise.
Perchance we cannot sell our cotton today-it will keep;
mayhap we pav more for our flour and meat than of old-we
can rejoice that the growers prosper thereby; we may not be
able to build the new house just now; we may have to enter
losses instead of profits'iri balancing the v/ork of the year; we
may have to deny many necessities as well as luxuries to our
selves and ??r families. But what boots it if these things
be true so long as Heaven blesses us with a fair measure of
health, so long as our loved ones are with us and are not
being slain on *he battlefield, so long as our soil laughs with
abundant crops when tickled with the plow, so long as black
ened chimnevs and countless dead do not mark the sites of o??.r
homes, so long as the sun chines and our nation endures, so
long as the setting of every sun brings us one day nearer
the time when, in the abundant prosperity that shall cover the
land, we shall forget the troubles of the present?
"Let him sing to me,
Who sees the catchings of the stars above the day,
Who hear* the singing of the sunrise
On its way,
Thiough a!l the night
Who outfaces skies, outsings the storm."

Who's the Victim?
A story ot today, aa told at a cot
ton mill, a haven of rest for poor
tenant seeking a hotrfe*-and bread
for hts live children ankll Jfbung
wife.
Bill Smith, though that ls not his
name, owned land, more than he can
work Seven years ago a strong
young farmer with his yoong wife
went to live with him, and has lived
on hlB place over since. Everything
went well, because crops were good
and price?, good and he could pay his
"rations" and. his rent. He had to
plant cotton because his landloard
required him to do so, no matter
whether it payed him or sot. St was
that or more-rent was the all im
portant thing, to this land owner.
The drouth came, cotton was cheap
and crop short, BO was the "rations"
with which to feed the five healthy
"babes" at.this home. Hi? crop war
standing in the field. His cow gave
milk; and waa a great help, an.1 then
s fine pig promised well foi* cold

with which to buy other things need

would let him have soma "rations"
till be could gather up his crop, es

no. here was the time for the canny
frugal to let the heavy, hand fall on
