Mr. Editor: As I have seen very few letters from the schools, I de cided to give you a few items from our school and community. Mrs. F. P. White and Mr. Joe White's baby, we are glad to say, have recovered after a com inned ill ness. We are torry to learn that "Aunt Patsy" White is sick again, and her sister whom every one knows as "Aunt Betsy," is still confined to her bed. These two aged ladies are the same mentioned by our last cor respondent. Mr. Manning Freeland is now confined to his bed with a slight at tack of pneumonia. We hope for him a speedy recovery. Mrs. Carrie Freeland spent the week end with her daughter Mrs. John C. Wells. Mr. John Walls has moved into his large residence near Mr. A. B. Barden, thus bringing his children nearer to school. We are glad to have Mr. Walls for a neighbor. Miss Essie Hussey, our assistant, has i large music class which seems to be making very good progress. Miss Essie Bussy was called home last week on a sad mission, the death of her grandmother. She has the sympathy of our community. Miss Nettie Freeland SDent last week with her sister, Mrs. J. C. Wells, at Plum Branch. Rev. Fi. II. Covington preached to a largo congregation at our school house last Sunday afternoon, his text being Acts 12:10. He spoke beautifully on the deliverance of Peter from prison, by an angel of the Lord, and of the wonders wrought by prayer. We could see in this lesson how all the church and that company of people who had gathered in Mary's house were engaged in prayer for his deliver ance, yet when he knocked at the gates and the damsel told that it was Peter, they did not believe her. Just so it is with ra st of us when we pray. We lack faith. "O ye of little i'ai<h!" Lord, help thou our unbelief! Let us pray that God will give us more faith. Our school is getting on very nicely, only two pupils being ab sent last week. The illness of Mrs. White and aunt Betsy has caused us to lose one of our large girls from school. Wc are sorry to lose Belle. Mr. Editor, we are going to have some patriotic exercises next Fr' day afternoon, February 2(1, at 2 o'clock, and wc will be glad to have all who will, to help us out on this occasion.

Hardly a question of legisla- , tion, in city, state or nation, hardly a question wf ethics which is not can vassed time from .the side of its effect upon the business world. We are engrossed in business, from the 1 captain of industry to the workman at the bench. I An analysis of business oondi I tions and interests results in this i discovery, not new by any means, that two factors underlie business | success, the factors of production and consumption. The relation of supply and de mand is axiomatic in thu business world If tiie government lives up 1 to its declaration of purp ?sc i;i pre- 1 meting thc liberty, happiness and welfare of it- people, al this stage in the progress of the world, it is s _i -j iuj ii. ii J jrr .n 11 r iwLt i .iir rr fi rif n TT i ira -~ r. ...-...-...?

Any piece of legislation' in the ab stract, which would affect unfavor ably either consumption or produc ion, would instantly meet with the disapproval of the publio and find itself subj jct to the veto of public opinion. Such i? the nature of any legisla :bn which protects and fosters the iquor trafile. Both the fundamental faotors ipon which business rests are un favorably affected by the results of .his trudie. No sane man can ques tion that statement. The traffic in terferes with production because,, wherever it thrives, it unfits its vic iirus for their part in the productive scheme of the business world. So iceen is com petition,and so necessiry is the best effort of everyone who it 3oncerned in productive industry for its profitable maintenance, that the unfitting of any percentage of producers to perform the work as jigued to them is fatal. Every man who has to do with production, dither in a large or a small way, knows that this is true. Equally fatal is the influence of the liquor traffic upon the other fun damental and underlying factor of business success, consumption. The victim of the liquor traffic gradually descends in the scale ol'the consum er until he reaches the point where he has neither the power nor the de sire to do his part toward using the necessary anieles of commerce and well being of the community.
