Brown, a former citizen of this county, but for the past -twelve years a 'citizen of Tuscaloosa, Alu|, has been on a visit the pntst week to rela tives and friends in this county. He has been working for a large lumber company in the Alabama town, but his work being Completed there, he move? this week to Live Oak, Fla., where the compa'ny has extensive timber lauds aud will be there for Hie next few years. Mr. Hrown was in the h^art of the boll weevil territory and he says that it ap pears to him that the weevil proved to the a blessing in disguise to the fanners of that section. They were caught wholly ? unprepared for the ad vent. of the in<*eot, and he says many of the large farmers as well as num erous smaller ones were bankrupted. They quickly recuperated by diversifying their, crops, and raising cattle and hogs, and today many farmers who formerly had their farms encumbered now have auto mobiles and splendid bank accounts and are the most prosperous people of the South. He tells us that he finds the people of this section do not take the 1m 1 1 1 weevil seriously, just as they did in Alabama, and will be. caught wholly unprepared unless they begin to improve their cattle and hogs and plant' crops other than cotton. ? ALL HUMANITY MUCH . ALIKE Only in Early Life Doea the Average Man Imagine He la Different From Others. One of the great discoveries that come to us as we advance in life is the fact that deep - flown In the human heart all men are alike. In early life .we think we are different from the rest of thQ. world, but as years go by we find that this is not so, thnt other men huve the same hopes and aspira tions, the same troubles and anxieties, the same yearnings after happiness and peace. We learn this from our friends, from those who tell us their troubles and ask for sympathy and ad vLce. Then we learn it from books ; from the works of great poets and writers, and especially from blogru phies and autobiographies*. As a child I was sensitive and shy, and felt that I was peculiar in this re spect, and different from the others, who always seemed to take themselves for granted. And yet I have discov ered that this Is the universal lot of all men. O. Stanley Hall speaks of a "newly revealed and grave danger that works countless tragedies In life ? that the child's feelings of Inferiority should become dominant and make hlrn feel in his earliest years that he Is condemned to a low level of existence, without respect, appreciation, admira tion or love." Thus the chronic teaser or hector may do great mischief to the tender soul of the child. The child la always asking himself subconsciously, "Do I look worse or better than others?" This tendency lasts with most men all their lives. We are all the time comparing our lot with that of others. As Emerson says: "Every ship looks romantic except the one we are on ;" and again, "Every man's life seems to him covered with the slime of failure and defeat, while that of others seems ideal." It Is a great help to know that men are alike in this respect. I could give a long list of well-known men and w^men who suffered from this sense of Inferiority, Incapacity and defeat, fol lowed by 'moods of gloom a'nd melan choly?men like Tennyson, Rnskin, Lowell, Symonds, John Stuart lflll, and, In oar own day, Rndyard Kipling, Richard Harding Davis and otharfe? Exchange. MAS HIXTYTHWK HCAICS \ it* , Mouth Carolina Soldier Only Man loWw Fife Wound Chevron*. Another war honor comes to the Carolina*. Sergt.
