m M 1 START A RANK ACCOUNT 1 THIS FALL. < ? Progressive Farmer. Along with its campaign for bigger crops per acre and better selling ^ methods, The Progressive Farmer expects to hammer unceasingly the overwhelming need for saving as well as making. We believe that every farmer in the South should have & bank account, however small, and there will never be a better time an right now to begin. How will it help you to put your money in the bank? Here are some of the ways: 1. A bank is the safest place to keen mnnov. nmi it ia g?hmii? -i"" gerous to keep any considerable sum of money about the home. Doing .o is simply an invitation to burglars and murderers. Of course it is im portant that you put your money {n a sound bank, manned by olliciais in whom you have confidence; but there is now hardly a section of the South without such banks, and 00 per cent ?g of all our banks are far, far saf??r t an the practice of keeping money rt home. 2. I- is goiil bn*'nes.:. Fanning a business; why not conduct .t as such? Other business men have their banks in which they regularly deposit their surplus funds, with which they establish their credit and obtain loans at fair interest lates. is there any particular reason why we should not run our business in the s.ne way? On the other hand there are dozens and dozens of reasons why we should?why, as a matter of fact, it is the only sensible way in which it can bo conducted 3. It encourages thrift, that splendid attribute that we usually nssoeaite with strength and character. We all admire the man who, with ti mptations to spend wastefully all about him. can resolutely say no to them all; we know that any nation Messed with men of such a breed has in it elements of strength and power that will make it great. One of the finest things you can hope for for your boy is that he he thrifty and strong in self denial, and you yourself can do few better things than set It i ill mi ovnmnln 4^ 4. It is insurance against a destitute old age. There is no more pathetic thing in the world than an old couple, broken by toil and poverty, their children gone, little to hope and live for, condemned to tight on year after year for their very bread. Let us in the summer of life and strength so work and save that when the winds of life's winter blow upon us, we can face them without fear. 5. It promotes buying on a cash basis. So long as we are dragged down by the credit system millstone that curses the cotton country, we !: us? not expect any great progress, ndividual or collective. There is , ist oho way to get away from this evil, and that is to put your business on a cash basis and keep it there. 'r'ii; is going to mean self-denial and possibly some actual hardships, but it is better for a year to do without1 many actual necessities than to go on forever paying tribute to a system hat grinds men and women and children down into the dust of hopeless ; poverty. Put some money in the j bank, and when you buy, buy for cash, at cash prices. Then if you haven't enough money to buy all you ^ need, do without it. we say, rather than go into bondage again. Get in touch with the banker In your town, and do It now; very often he's a mighty good man to know. A SOCIETY NOTE. Dear Editor, an Item; My last, perhaps, this year. I'm keen enough to write 'em, But news is scanty here. Society's news fountains Are growing very dry; There's nothing in the mountains But silence, rocks and sky. Y et by the suniac torches That on the hillside dance Date gossips on the porches Spy out one last romance. The beautiful Belle of Summer Who's flirted here since June Has met a bold newcomer, end she'll surrender soon. For though by height or hollow Seclusion she may seek. Rogue Jack Is sure to follow And feed upon her cheek. Rose-branded by his kisses, Her splnsterhood is lost, Miss Summer now is "Mrs." , Her married name is Frost, Selected. 4 RAVE YOU WEAK IMS? Do oolda settle on your chest or in your bronchial tubes f Do coughs hang on, or are you subject to throat troubles? * ? Such troubles should have immediate treatment with the strengthening powers tw ol Scott's Bmulsion to guard against consumption which so easily follows. Scott's Bmulsion contains pure cod liver oil which peculiarly strengthens the respiratory tract and improves the quality of . the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and heals the tender membranes of the throat. Scott's is prescribed by the beat speciallata. You can get it at any drug store. Scott flt Bowne.

I see by the papers, as Mr. Doolej would say, that a lady of English sympathy and lineage, serving as a nurse, used her opportunity to pro1 vide her own people with information and assistance, and got hersell .Ranged (or shot, I've forgotten W*ch) by the Germans. And because she was a female, as most women are, newspaper editors in thiB country with an anti-German mania are raising hob about it. The idea that a woman, because of her sex, may break all the in wo of God and man und get away with it, is just the other half of that whenknighthood-was-in-ilower idea that it's a line, manly business to go out and slay a few fellow citizen and come home with their scalps tied to the saddle horn. A woman is about the nicest thing the Lord ever made, but when a human is killed by a woman he is fully as dead as though a fellow bin k had otliciated at the demise. Crime is crime. The proper treatment for male criminals is the proper treatment for female criminals. A she tiger will tight harder and do more devilment than a male, anyway. In the ordinary affairs of life we men contribute to our own self-respect and pleasure by professing to believe that women are fragile china dolls, but 1 do not believe that the women themselves relish the men And from what 1 have oeen able to learn of women 1 believe they are good enough sports to take their j medicine when they get the \sorst ! of it in a man's game. War isn't nice. It's messy. Killing isn't nice. It it is noressury for l anyone to do work of this sort, let I the men do it while the women sit at home and do tutting for tli 1 neighbor's newest baby. Hut if the : war is brought to the women, or necessity ?.alls them to the Held to ; do a man's part, let thetn forget sex | and silly notions of chivalry and e\j peet to get back tlte very death tliej ; plan for the enemy. 1 Uiuaan roil i am a iOl ol rot about this war. But surely it is carrying the luatter too far when readers are asked to shed salty hetears over the fate of a courageous woman who went into action with her eys open and sought to injure the enemy in the only way of which she was capable. Ii the sentimentalists will let her memory alone she will stand as one of the war's minor heroes?not heroines. Hut ii this gentler-sex bosh is kept up. the world will forget that she Was an adventurer of stout leart at nk of Iter only a a chiffon and lace lady in tight shoes who was carried oft' by the j dragon of war. Need of t'nsclllshiiess. Selfishness kills more towns than I any other cause. When you find a i town where its business men look only to their own aggrandizntent, look for the writing on the wall, for it is (loomed. No place yet has ever prospered unless its citizens went to work upon a universal platform of the greatest good for the greatest number. One-eyed ideas won't win; neither will a selfish desire to monopolize some line of business. Work together for the common good .'or unless your town prospers you can't prosper.?Cheraw Chronicle.
