This is a fine time to use the split f
log drag. You will want good roads {
during the winter and the use of the f
split log drag now while the roads are j
in good condition for its use will be ,
worth a whole lot for the winter roads. {

Some of the churches of Chernw could f
probably stand a little prosperity like ,
that.
It is said that the sections of the
country suffering most on account of |
the stagnation in industries are the |
sections that depends largely upon (
their output -of coal. This condition {
will continue as long as the war continues.
The various ports are full of (
staemships that have not turned a
wheel since the war began, and as (
these vessels are large consumers of
coal it is only natural that the coal
industry should suffer.
Notwithstanding the fact that the '
only world in connection (with the '
sinking of the Arabic is just what '
England has been pleased to send
out, and nothing more, Colonel Roosevelt
is calling for immediatewar
against Germany. And again he has '
shown what this country might have
erpected had he been President.
every section of the entire country.
The answer is?noting! Sentiment in ,
favor of hanging men who comi?ose .
mobs is not strong enough in Georgia
to bring one man to justice. A largo
majority of Georgians arc law abiding ,
people, but they are indifferent to lawlessness
perpetrated by others. These
citizens will never rise enmasse and
demand that the lynchers be appre- <
hended and punished.

Galveston spent two ^and a half
million dollars for a sea wall, which
probably saved the city from complete
'destruction during the storm the first
of this week. The latest news from 1
Galvaston is that fourteen lives were '<
lost and the property damaged amounts
to about three miliou dollars.
In the great storm of 1900 Galveston
lost property valued at fifteen million
dollars and eight thousand lives were
lost It will pay Galveston to build
the sea wall higher and strengthen it.
While business in this section is
very slack, and while it could l>e better
it might be worse, so the only thing we
can do under the circumstances is to bo
ecomical in the exi>enditure of money
until the depression passes a way and I
prosperity once more gives us an en I
couraging smile. | <

That Is a gruesome story of the

whether he was guilty or not If he
vas guilty he deserved the electric

The crops In this section are very
;ood and if the farmer can get a fair
irice for his cotton he will be pretty
jood shape. The crop this year has
>een made at very small cost. There
ivill be very few fertilizer bills to pay
ind the other debts have been much
ess than heretofore. The main thing
low is to make some arrangement by
nrhicli the farmer, and the small farm

reserve bank can do it, then let's build
mme warehouses. They can lie built

A year ago the suriilus reserve fund

amounted to forty-one million dollars,
l'lie suriilus reserve now umouuts to
three-fourths of a billion dollars. The
Actual reserves of the nationul banks
now total close to two billion dollars,
rhix is far in exxcess of the highest rec?r?l
made in any previous i>eriod of the
country's history. What is the matter
with the country? It is wallowing in
wealth ; the hanks are overflowing with
noney; the crops are enormous and the
rices of all of the great crops except
otton are high, while cctton will bring
i fair price; yet we are told that busijess
is bad, that "times are hard," that
he country is on the verge of stagnu- jjq
