When a man who has lived among us for years and whom we haye all grown to love and respect “draws the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams,” we experience a shock of grief and sense of loss that take months to heal. Multiply that loss by hundreds of thousands and we may get some idea of the terrible effect of the great European war. The present financial crisis, which at worst can only be temporary, should not dismay us. The United States are not at war. Already conditions show some signs of adjusting themselves and the sons and daughters of those valiant heroes who fought four years through one of the greatest wars the world has known are not the ones to whine oyer the loss of a few dollars. There are many who remember the conditions of 189*3. when in one night a terrific storm swept over this section, ruining acres upon acres of cotton that the day before gave promise of a splendid harvest. What little re mained in the fields only brought four or five cents a pound when gathered, but each man pocketed his loss and with grim determination faced a future much darker than the present. In time prosperity returned, debts were paid ♦ and the sun once more shone brightly. Let us take heart. The same God that led the children of Israel out of the wilderness rules the universe today. He helps those who help themselves, and in helping ourselves let us help others. Confidence in one another is what we need. Remember, the dark est hour is'just before the dawn. Sow Oet*. W. W. Long, State Agent and Direc tor of Extension Work in South Caro lina, advises the farmers to sow oats this fall, tc take the place of cotton, which acreage must be decreased next year on account of the European war. He gives the following very good rea sons: T. Seed oats require a minimum amount of fertilizer. 2. Plenty of seed are available. 3. If war continues, European armies must have horse feed and they will have to pay our price. 4. If peace is declared oats will furn ish a large amount of vegetable matter to be plowed under. 5. Oats will pave the way for more live stock in the future. To insure success oats should be sowed in this part of the State in October. ' . , ■ cotton crop unless twelve cents per pound can be obtained sooner therefor. FOURTH: That the signer of this agreement, as liquidated damages, agrees to pay. to the President of South Carolina, Division, as trustee for the signers of like pledgesTn the State of South Carolina, an amount equal to the difference in the price per pound at which he may sell any cotton and the minimum price fixed of 12 cents per pound, and ten (•Ub'dollars for every acre planted, in violation of the provi sions of this agreement. Any funds so paid in any county to be divided among the signers in such county. WITNESS my hand and seal the first day of September, 1914. Mr. S. D.

So it is in all kinds of business, banking inrcluded: the old way if not adapted to modern progress must give place to newer 7 ^ methods. Keeping money at home, subject to loss by theft and fire, has for the most part passed away in Barn well County by reason of modern facilities in banking. - MONEY IN BANK, CHECK BOOK IN POCKET is the new order now practiced by all who are really progressive. • * First, select the bank wisely, and if the acid^test ofcapK: tal stock protection is used, you will choose this bank.
