9 IF 'MIRhIL BY "NUJB' Just looking back some few years and see the thousands and millions of dollars honestly made by hard work, and square dealings, when money was about the cheapest thiig on the mar ket. We are wonderi g if this great amount of money had been wisely spent would our country- be up against the obstacles they are today. We bo heve we are justified in saying no. But we made out of ourselves what we believe we will call 'plungers", deals were made without much con sideration which ran up in the thou sands upon thousands of dollars, small payments were made, with the han -ney would always be dlk! r. t yments would be er. And we be * .4 man was some i wtih almost the I We man should fail .be glad to take him upi. -d ..! .bt safe and sound position, or proposition were laid aside, and the parties plunged into something else headlong without seriously condidering what he was do ing. But no doubt in some instances the "alarm clock" has gone off be fore now and he realizes what has happened after waking up, and seeing the situation as it really is. But after all if a man is "stung" let him profit by his own experience, for had things kept on we would have been flying so high by this good day a sudden fall as took place more than a year ago now, we would have been so far above our raising that it would have been a "smash up" by this good day. Y " with the millions and millions of do lars "salted down," if it were even now put to work there would rot be an unemployed man or woman in this good land of ours, and there would not be an uncovered back of hungry stomach, I am fully of the opinion that with the assistance of our gov ernment the. holders of these great sums of money will be persuaded to "loosen up," and let the workers go to work, and the needy clothed and fed, and then our honest dollars will be doing their full duty, and money that will put the country on a boom now in our opinion will certainly be wisely spent. The fever for high priced, and high speed automobiles, fine clothes, good rations and etc., is perfectly cool by now, and it would take quite a wave of prosperity of many years duration to get us back where we were some three years ago, so far as such things is concerned. We are pretty sure that the desire of the average honest per son today is to get square with the world once more, and get a few more good nights' rest, and not so many statements at the end of each month, where red ink is used. And yet when a man put out his good money it is nothing but right that he should have it back, and of course the man that :loes not want him to have it back must have a black place on his heart and a blue streak down his back, and after all this, there are thousands up A LD We hand ors and widtl their shape. fit you in a pai Lad and( fort and wea1 Boyden l brogutes.

Old King David said: "-I -was once young, but now I am old, but have yet to see the first righteous man fall, or his seed'beg bread." And when I say this I do think we are a righteous set of people, but I do honestly believe we can "toat" fair, even during a wave of depression, the man or woman who can only be good and treat his fellow creature right when things are running smoothly and prosperity -sweeping the country, is not a very .:afe party to tie too I should say. But after all let us quit crossing bridges before we get to them, and burn every bridge behind us, and if I we can get in the habit of doing this| we are pretty sure we will see more smiles on the facos of our people, and hear more optimistie expression, andl more sunshine peddled among us, and quit telling all our troubles out of school, and maybe some people would not be - wise. For instance a party came to me not so long dgo and beg ged me not to say anything about a little matter that he had gotten into, and of course I told him I would not mention it. The whole lying truth was I did not know a thing in the world about it, until he unraveled it. Possible we tell things at times that we imagine the world knows, and as a matter of fact nobody knows it, and really very few people want to know anything about. Mrs. J. J. Wilkie, Miss Anna Wil kie and Bismark Godwin, spent Sun day with kinsfolks in Sumter. Mrs. Lollie 10issell of Wilmington, N. C., is spending some time with her sister, Mrs. Fred Way. Messrs. Percy Woodruff, and L. H. Godwin visited1 H. P. Troy at Eutaw Ville Sunday last. We consider the good people of Wil son, being quite fortunate in securing as one of their teachers Miss Mamie Hunter of this place. Miss Hunter is one among our best girls, and we doubt not that she will make a fine school teacher. Capt. and Mrs. J. D. Bowen of Sum ter, wvere pleasant visitors to our city Sunday last.
