The results of failure in school nre
apt to affect a person’s work for many
years, very likely permanently. When
one fails in school he* or she is likely
to fail in other work which is to be
taken up later.* It is then a thing
of tremendous importance for the
young folks to make good in their
school work while the opportunities
are still theirs. .

A GOOD MARKET
With the harvest season here again,
it is to the advantage of the farmers
of this section to brfng their cotton
to Clinton t6 be grinned and sold.
Local facilities are entirely adequat?
to care for the ginning needs of the
eommunity and a number of buyers
are in the market to purchase every
bale of cotton possible. Along with
your cotton, bring your produce or
anything you may have to sell.
With the opening of the splendid
highways into Clinton, it is now
an'easy task for a farmer to drive
several miles to market his cotton
here. If he is assured of as strong
s market as can be found elsewhere,
it’s to his advantage to do business
in Clinton, otherwise to go elsewhere
A strong cotton market will bring'
ftusiness here and we want to be sure
that we do not let it get away to
some adjoining town.
To the fanners who have not been
ir. the habit of doing business in Clin
ton, we want to say that the latch
string is hanging on the outside. You
will find no trouble here of disposing
«T whatever you may have to sell and
you may be assured of fair and cour
teous treatment at the hands of our
merchants and business concerns. Let
your road lead this way.
must be consuming a great deal of

For every 100 hdmes in the United
State* there are 29 washing machines.
That shows progress, and room for
more progress.
The family without' a washing-
machine, unless the washing be “sent
out,” proves that some wopaan is con
demned to needless slavery.
An electric washing machine and
wringer, tasting a few cents a day
for current, makes of washing an
amusement instead of hard work.
It makes it possible in a large fam
ily, with a busy mother, for the grow
big boys and girls to do the greater
part of the week’s washing and re
lieve the mother.

A great many people never go to

There is considerable talking going
on in the highway department and
much talk always keeps one busy ex
plaining.
The idea exists with lots of people
thai when they pay a bill they lose
money.

Mises was opposed to the use of pork.
Wouldn’t this be a fine old world if
we could borrow money and never be

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?
Draper Jeffries, colored, was elec
trocuted at the state penitentiary the
•ther day for killing a woman. Just
before the current was turned on, the
Rev. J. D. Crhin, the penitentiary
chaplain, had an interview with the
negro in which he is quoted as say-
ihg:
“I got one quart of whiskey from
a white man who lives around Ches-
nee; they call him .‘Rod’; I gave him
five dollars for it. I had the whole
^uart in me when I shot the woman.
If I had been sober I would not have
killed her. I got mad at her about
another man. I have never had any
thance to go to school.”
This confession, coming from a man
just on the verge of stepping into
«ternity, calls for serious thought and
concerted action if we are to ever
hope for a decrease in the appalling
crime wave that continues to sweep
aver our state like a prairie fire. The
man who sold the negro the liquor
fc just as guilty as the buyer, yet he
geea unknown and unmolested. He is
responsible, in a large measure, for
Jeffries death, yet nothing is done
about it.
Those who willfully break the law
by dealing in the liquor traffic, should
be run down and given the penalty
af the law. They are a menace to
society—they are feeders to the wave
•f lawlessness that is sweeping over
•yr land as a defiance to decency.
Some men think that as good tobac
co costs money now, it is a good time
for the women to economize on the

A scientist says that the young
people of today have become “motor
car wise.” By instinct they avoid
automobiles and adapt themselves to
traffic. Older people seem unable to
learn.
Even chickens and dogs have learn
ed something. They stay out of the
road and are killed less frequently
than they once were. .
Weeding the garden is endorsed by
the doctors as just as healthy exer
cise as playing football, but you’ll
never make the boys believe it.
People are urged to keep their feet
on the ground, but they must lift
them up and step out if they are ever
going to get anywhere.
It would be good news if the young
people of the generation ' would be
“whiskey wise” in addition to being
?hotor car wise.
During the next few years there
will be more young people killed by
whiskey than old people killed by
automobiles'.
