Price par annum 12.00, payable in adyanrsi. Friday, .April 24, 1931 KERP ON FIGHTING Thoughtful people, viewing question* oftep feel somewhat discouraged. The political, aoctal, moral und religious, o<lda sometimes seem to be with the evil forces. Those who have honestly striven for clean politics, ,\ clean social life, good morals and sincere religious observances often grow weary with the fight. They see the triumph of the political trickster, the social renegade often appears to be quite successful, the moral reprobate, willing to pay any price for success, seems often to be winning. Hut it is not as bad a-5 'I Hccraa. EviJ has a. way of maki.ig quite a considerable noise. It hides' its shame under the guise of blatant profession, and sets up false issues with the fervor of a crusader. Many discouraged souls, men and women who are striving for butter conditions, somotmjes say "What is the use? Why be forever waging war?" Hut there is every use in the world. First of all, to surrender is to lose the fruits .of past victories und the reward i of victories yet to come. It is not the most terrible thing to have evil triumph. A far worse thing is r _ for the mora! forces to give up, sur render. The owb thing worthwhile is to keop on fighting. If this be done, evil v ill not ultimately t- iumpb. The forces of evil are not nearly so invinci! . as they seem to be. - t'nioii Time II *r'* s } t od For Thought Miles upon miles of good roads allow the farmer of to-day to travel easily and cheaply. I lis radio brings the whole famih brilliant talks, fine education, inspiring sermons, the latest iti news and * i. . 1 * ; _ . . v 4 ? cue i/f.M in niu.-ii. in worus the old-fashioned farm home ha*' gone and in its place i* a brand new farm home. These things have come to the farmer's family through the effects of the new industrial revolution which is rapidly changing American rural life. Hut your county agent is going to allow the Southern Agriculturist to finish this picture of what the future holds for the development of the farm home: But farmers are in a new world today. Old conditions are rapidly passing out and a hew order is -coming. We are in the midst of this new industrial revolution now, and no one can know iust where i't i.- going to lead. Electricity h.--been known foiling time. Hut acting alone it \va never"""regarded aT a vev'olut tonai \ force. Hut when it joined handwith gasoline a lew yours ago started the first industrial revolution to completely change the life conditions of the farmer. Fifteen years ago millions of American farmers were living in what seemed to be hopeless isolation, The\ were, living in the sticks-" with no efficient nu-an> of transportation. They were eut off from any vital part in the life of the world, and shares! hul very siightlv in the achievements of modern civilization. The luxuries and conveniences of civilization were not for them. These were the exclusive privileges of those who lived under the bright lights of the city. Millions of tlu-.-o people never heard any good music. The> didn't - know what it was all .bout. They knew but little .?f the great out-Hie world. They could not inter .nto it< ex{K?riences. Their lives were of necessity circumscribed and limited t" the simple experienet-s of the is ed W :' :i.n lh? - iof ;>c< .-?d >f fif'einl \oa oj t iu-st million- have btn n re-j \a-c<: fi :r. l-. la'. i n by ' r.ew r< v. . a ar.u br ugh'. r* i;e great h .gh .vay> <?f ,<fe.

Laborer* Arc Few The county agent found ;hi- very short and very much to the point article on the solution of the crop surplus problem in the Southern Agriculturist : It is not so much new sales organizations and new types of salesmanship for farm commodities that are needed, as it is a bigger aud better demand for these commodities. A bigger demand may created either by educating consumers to use more or by reducing the supply. This is the field of promise for cooperatives. This field is white unto harvest, but the laborers are few. # I Appropriation Bill $600,000 Less OoSftrofriA, A#ril 21. An, apyropriAtiona frill ocf $ 10,309,050.99 i <wu?

New taxes are placed on hydroelectric power, insurance premiums and motor oils. . Hydro-electric companies are taxed thirty-five one hundredths of u mill on each kilowatt hour geneiuted. This will raise $1160,000 revenues, the committee estimated. 1 Insurance companies are to pay an additional license fee ot one-half of one per cent on premiums collected in the state. The estimated revenje from this is $1110,000. A tax of five cents on each gallon of oil sold ,is to be levied, the estimated revenue being $190,000. The total estimated revenues under the bill as brought out by* the conference committee are expected to be $10,627,000. This includes $0,526,000 from the tax commission. $3,lf>2,000 from other sources, $240,000 from the compromise m the Southern Railway suit, plus tin? new taxes to be levied.

One of the largest cut* in thappropriations is $107,000 which the senate had authorized as school building aid. The sui>erintendint is authorized to borrow this amount, however. in anticipation of excess inheritance taxes. The highway department is compelled under terms of the 'bill to pay one-half of the appropriation fur the attorney general's office, which I$21,097.
