The man who thinks all his own
actions are perfect and all those
of other people imperfect, * stands
alone in his opinion.
Some people are so lacking in
individuality and lean so heavily .and.
constantly upon others that if .the
support should give way they .would
topple over.
Idleness deterioates character, but
true work makes it and. builds it
tip. It creates the atmosphere In
which the virtues grow, and it gives
to life the necessary discipline and
strength.
It is not the man who never makes
a mistake that wins the greatest suc
cesu, but the man who refusing to
be discouraged by his mistakes learns
wisdom from them and thereby
reaches at last the goal of his am
bition.
Vice is ever alert to poison the,
mind and destroy the character of
young people. At least an equal
vigilance should be displayed in
storing their minds with that which
o wholesome and in safe-guarding
their lives.
The Postal lelegraph, it is said,
wil) continue to compete with Wes

must have been to see which would

no rate lowering was discernible
about here.
An offer of $85,000 has been
made Johnson and Jeffries to pull

Such frauds as the sugar trust has
been guilty of, makes us almost lose
confidence in our fellow man. But
it still remains true that there are
plenty of honest people in the world,
but we do not think they have any
thing to dO with the sugar trust.
The moon is not considerate of
the . old folks when it pulls off its
eclipse at such an unseemly hour in
the morning as half-past one.. Such
an hour may suit the young spoon er s
and old widowers on their &ec6na
legs, but not the old married folks.
If the features of Eusapia Palladi
ao, the much talked of Italian spirit
medium, as given in the pictures in
the daily press are the usual features
cf that class of people, we imagine
the number of American women who
want to be spirit-mediums must be
small.
The commercial agencies report
business at high water mark. Now,
Mr. Business man, can you resist
. the temptation to risk another panic?
Better be satisfied with the profits
of your own money, instead of trying
to build up paper profits on some

A good authority has recently
aaid that working women are more
virtuous than those who live in a
so-called higher sphere. There is
no doubt of it, for work promotes
virtue and many other qualities,
while idlenees gets people into all
kinds of mischief.
A citizen Is not necessarily run
ning down the place in which he lives
just because he points out its short
comings. It is sometimes advisaMe
to do that in order to awaken a need
ed public spirit. But to dwell upon
its shortcomings In hostile or critics
tone and suggest no remedy is some
thing that no one will do who really
desires the prosperity of his town.
John D. Rockefeller excuses him
self from commenting on the recent
decision of the United States Cir
cuit Court dissolving the Standard
Oil Trust, on the ground that he is
"no longer actively connected w.'th
the managemeut of the Oil Compa
ny." He seems, however, to be
very actively connected with the:
enormous quarterly liivldends which!
the company pays with undeviating
regularity.
A new temper seems to be pos
sessing the English people in their
attitude towards the nobility. It
used to be sail that "An English
man dearly loves a lord." and doubt
less he loves him yet to some ex
tent. But the Engl shman appears
to have awakened to the fact that
the nobility has escaped its fair
share of taxation and that affects
John Bull's pocket nerve very se
riously, especially in these days of
$12,000,000 Dreadnaughts and old
age pensions.
Plain Talk to Farmers.
The Progressive Farmer, of
Raleigh, N. C, which is one of the
best farmers' papers we have ever
Vead, says some of its exchanges
contain numerous references to ths
so-calied' meat and other "trusts,'"
and to fancied combinations of ueal
ers and speculators for luring the
prices of farm products. Through
out all is a toiie"of regret at :7Te
high prices of meal, flour, corn, eic.
This view of the prices of farm
products is in sympathy with the con
sumers, and we - infer that in the
opinion of the editors these high
prices for farm products ar9 a great
calamity. To one knowing that 80
to 90 per cent" of our people are
farmers and that the farmer is the
only producer of meat, flour, corn,
etc., this bewail.ng of the high price
of these products appear peculiar at
least, if not ridiculous.
"Truly, is it not remarkable that
the farmer should complain of the
high pr.ces of the products which
he grows? While nearly one-half
our land is planted in corn, we
complain of the high price of corn;
we produce some meat and could
prouuee more at one-third the price
it is selling for, but still we complain
of the high price of pork. We have
even heard farmers bewailing most
bitterly the high price of cowpea
seed. The cowpea is particularly a
a Southern crop, is one of our great
soil-improvers and hay crops, and
still farmers are heard to complain
of price of cowpeas. It is a fact,
however, that while nearly all farm
proaucts are now bringing top prices
we are injured instead of benefitea
thereby; because although farmers,
*e are buyers, not sellers, of all
farm products except cotton.
"While the farmers of other sec
tions are rejoicing at and growing
rich on the high prices of meat ana
other farm products, we are com
plaining and blaming the trusts ana
every other Imaginable person except
the right one?ourselves. The ab
surdity of the farmer complaining
of the high price of farm products
must be apparent to any one. ? It
meat, corn and flour are too high,
why don't we produce them? Farm
ing is our business, and if we can
not produce these farm products for
less than the present selling prices,
then those prices are not too high.
With all farm products bringing
maximum prices, this ought to be
a season of rejoicing instead oi*
mourning, and it will be when we
realize the ridiculous position we are
putting ourselves in by not growing'
those crops to sell which are so high
as to call forth our spclal atten
tion. If these prices are too high,''
why stop at growing merely enough
for our own use. Why not grow
some to sell and reap the benefits
of the unusually high prices? Ii
we will not avail ourselves of this
rare opportunity, let us at least
cease making ourselves ridiculous
by the spectacle of farmers com
plaining of the high prices of farm
products."
The Wisdom of Early Shopping.
Had it ever occurred to you that
that the most advantageous way in
which to shop during the period
which immediately preceded the
Christmas holidays is to shop ear
ly? asks the Atlanta Journal.
There are a great many things
to be said in its behalf.
In the first place, you stand a
better chance of getting what you
want. The stock has not been pick
ed over. You get the first choice of
a fine assortment of goods, such
as come only to this greatest metro
politan market. The lady next door,
will not have a dress which is a
dead ringer for the one which you
paid forty-five or fifty Hollars for.
But the real point is not so much
your own selfish.interest as the fact
that thousands of men and women
who are engaged in the shops
are entitled to some kind
of consideration. They should be
able to enjoy the holidays also.
And they can do this only if you
will shop early.
We all know what the holiday,
rush is. Why not make it less bur
densome this year than it has ever
been before?
You serve your own Interests and
those who are "cabbed' cribbed and
confined" by shopping early.
Let the holidays this year be a
notably exception from all thut have
gone before.
Treat All Alike.
A 6hort time ago in New York a
divorce was granted to a member of
a family noted for its wealth a?d
social position. In that State di
vorces can be granted for but one
cause, and in the case above referr
ed to the utmost secrecy prevailed,
not a single detail being made pub
lic. If this was done for the one
purpose of not gratifying morbid
tastes for scandalous and degrading
details it was well. But if, as sus
pected, it was done simply out of
regard for the wealth and social
standing of the family it was not
well. One does not like to criticise
the courts but the courts would be
less criticised if they gave less cause
for criticism. When it comes to
the courts of .justice the rich and
poor should be treated exactly alike.
There is no more reason why a
scoundrel in the Astor family should
be handled with secrecy by the
cou; ts than in the poorest family in
this country. According to our the
ory of government when it conies to
the courts we are all supposed to be
on an equality. If the Astor di
vorce scan ial can be suppressed by
the courts, why don't they suppress
all the scandals that aie aired in
them.
A! ways Scrapping.
Those Central American states are
a queer set. Their history is made
ii]) of comely and tragedy. They
make loud professions of brother
hood and yet hate each other with a
vindictiveness we cannot understand.
They all were represented not so
very long ago in a convention at
Washington, and for the moment it
seemed as if the millennium had
aawned upon Central America. But
no sooner aid the delegates react,
their homes than the vision of eter
nal peace and good will vanish
They call themselves republics am
yet are ruled by despotic and' cruel
dictators: They profess great friend
ship and admiration for this country
but their actions show jealousy and
dislike. They are the disturbing
'element on this continent as the
Balkai. states are of the continent
of Europe.
