A HOMILY ONPOCKET MONEY. \
W?*h?w Enterprise. ^
>! }
Elsewhere in this paper the 1
story is told of how Mr. W. H. ^
Windle, a well known farmer |
of York, county, just over the ?
line in South Carolina, lost the |
good sum of $260 the other day i
while riding along the public I
road in his buggy, and how all <
efforts to find it had failed. That 5
is a right nice sum of money for '
anj^ hard-working farmer or al- (
most anybody else to lose in that I

have easily avoided even the 1
fiossibility of such a loss by 5
eaving the money on deposit at '
the bank where it had been '
Counted out to him only a few J
hours before in payment for cot- j
ton he had just soid. If he had
debts to pay or bills to meet, his !
i>ersonal check would have been ;
ust as good as the cash in at '
east the great majority of cases.
We do not know Mr. Windle and
are therefore unable to judge as
to his intentions in carrying this
pood sum of money in his pockets, j
Hut we do know that there are
not a few men who just cannot j
resist the luring temptation to;
carry large sums of money about j '
in their pockets, or keep it about '
their homes where it is always 1
in danger of being lost or stolen, t
You may happen in our local 1
bank any day when the cotton
market is lively and you will see i
the cashier counting out sums J
from $100 to $300 and maybe
much larger to farmers, and they i
will cram it down in their jeans I
and walk out with a self-satisfied i
air that betokens no thought
whatever of possible loss a few ]
hours later. Of course it is their <
money to do just as they please <
with, and hence no one cares to <
butt in with even a suggestion. 1
But at the same time you can not *
help wondering what they are 1
going to do with it or how they i
are going to take care of it, when J
almost everyone knows that it is 1
1 r
uuaaic uj cany iarK? sums Ol ;
money around in one's pocket or
leave it about the house. The 1
bank is the place to keep money I
outside of a little necessary i
fjocket change. That is one of the l
main purposes for which banks
are established and maintained. 1
In the bank your money is safe <
from loss and from skulking

;hieves, and it is just as much a
rour own in the bank as when t
rou have it in your pocket. And r
fou can always get it without a
iny trouble just as you need it. \
Ml business men keep their \
noney in the banks, not for the c
banks' sake, but for the sake of i
safety and security against loss r
by any means whatever. There j
:s not a safe or a vault in any of t
:he business houses in town thati?
?ver contains any considerable A
sum of money over night, and (
business men seldom ever have (
Dver just a few dollars on their
persons at any time. They keep t
their money in the banks. Every <
farmer who handles any considerable
amount of money should
have a bank account and a check
oook in his pocket. Business men
generally prefer checks to cash
in the settlement of accounts,
rhe most progressive farmers in
any community all have bank
accounts and check books. It is
the best way and the wisest way.
MARSE HENRY ON THE VICTORY.
Writing in the Louisville Courier-Journal
a day or two after the
ptreat Democratic upheaval of
last Tuesday, Col. Henry Watter5on,
dean of the American press,
has the following to say under
the caption of "The People Still
Rule:"
"For the Democrats it never
rains but it pours. This is only
mother way of repeating Mr.
Tilden's oft-quoted saying that
it requires a revolution to unseat
the party in power and to bring
in the opposition.
"Nevertheless, while exhilarating
to Democrats, out in the
told so long and so used to defeat
that they can scarcely realize the
actuality and the meaning of
victory, the vote of Tuesday
should strengthen the faith of all '
thoughtful Americans in the vir- <
tue and intelligence of the people i
and therefore in the stability of 1
Free institutions under the repre- i
tentative form of government.
"W e have survived most of the
historic dangers which through
the ages have assailed systems
and dynasties. We seemed to be 1
face to face with a new menace,
rhis election secures us against
the peril alike of the one-party
aligarchy and the one-man power.

ind seeking to shape the future <
>y the instruction of our various ;
nisleading in the past, the way
ihead ought to be tolerably plain. '
We shall not have the majorities !
n the two houses of Congress to 1
:ontrol. We can only in the
ower house foreshadow and fornulate
legislation. With this
ower house of the new Congress, 1
herefore, an extraordinary responsibility
will rest. Upon its
visdom or folly will depend the
election of p Democratic presiient
in 1912.
"The one great question which
las proved a stumbling block to
ill parties is the tariff; if we go
;o pieces on any rock we shall go
;o pieces there. But with a firm,
dear-sighted man in the speakership,
such as we believe Champ
31ark will show himself to be,
ind a surefooted, courageous and
;onscientious ways and means
lommittee, a measure of revenue
reform may be constructed or.
which we may go to the country
united and confident.
"The true Democratic gospel
as to the tariff is laid in the basic
principle that the government
has no right in equity or in law
to levy and collect a dollar of
taxation except for its own support.
This is an exact contradiction
of the doctrine that taxes
may be levied for the benefit or
protection of favored industries j
and preferred classes. The Republican
party stands for the
latter. The Democratic party
stands for the former. Thus,
the issue between a protective
tariff and a revenue tariff is
absolute and incisive. But we
have had nearly 50 years of a
protective tariff. Hundreds of
millions of money have been invested
and are yet embarked
upon the faith of this. Hundreds
of thousands of people look
to it for their prosperity and support.
It cannot be precipitately
withdrawn. If we are to change
our policy from a protective system
to a revenue system, it must
be done so gradually and with
such regard for the business of
the country, which stands greatly
in need of rest, as that the final
transition shall be as the passing
from one season to another,
every interest warned beforehand
and fully prepared.
"There can be and there must
be a tariff bill prepared by the
coming ways and means committee
which shall scale the process

of reduction through ft term of \
years, stripping the present tariff,
complicated! for the purpose
of confusion, of its surplusage
and eliminating both the mystifications
and the local features
which the cowardly and the weak
have hitherto relied on to stand 1
between themselves and their i
accountability at home.
"Happily the situation is decisive;
the vote of Tuesday was
national and pervasive. It shows '
no geographic limitation. It is a i
universal protest of the masses i
against partisan intolerance, extortion
and broken promises. It
is a vote of censure upon a most
well -intentioned administration
and a patriotic president, who
were better chief justice than
chief magistrate. It is something
more than a threat of dismissal
of a party oligarchy which
has grown reckless of power, its
leaders thinking they held the
world in a sling; it shows that, j
after all, when fairly aroused,
the people do rule, that God still i
reigns and that the government i
of our fathers, of the constitution
and the law, the established
order of Congress, the court and
the executive, yet lives and is to
continue to live, at Washington." \
Fiscal Affairs of the County.
Yorkville Enquirer.
In his round of the county completed
last Saturday, Treasurer
Neil was able to collect $12,500
of taxes on a total book calling
for $181,174.28. The county
owes notes to the amount of
$10,000 and these have to be paid
before a great deal of money will
be available to pay accumulated
accounts.
Afraid To Stay Alone
Cherry Vallev. Ark.?Mrs. Car
rie Moore of this place says, "I
was afraid to stay by myself. I
had headache nearly all the time;
my heart would palpitate, and
my vitality was very low. When
1 would lie down, at night, I had
no hope of living until day. I
tried Cardui, and now I feel better
than I have for 5 years. I
cannot praise Cardui enough for
what it did for me." Are you a
woman? Do you need a tonic?
