The ( alamity How ler. The People wi>hes that everybody could and would stop talkinK “hard times." Ha\'e you ever noticed how depressing such talk is upon the aver age person? The next time you have the opportunity, watch a yroup of men discussing affair- in general. They will admit that money is "tipht," that th' price of cotton is way htdow the cost of production, that the banks and merchants are not m a position to extend as lihera! credit as they have m the past, that present conditions arc had, and so on, but underlying their ronversation is a tone of optimism in the future, without which this old world would be a sorry place to live indeed. They beliovo that by practicing i i>;id economy, both in our way of living and conducting our businesses, by ( Uttiny cotton acie aye this year, by yrowiny more food and feed stuff and with confidence in our ability to overcome obstacles we can win hack prosperity Then let tlie calamity howler conic Upon the scene. He can see yoo ( | in nothiny, past, present or future The future holds forth no hope whatever and he sees actual starvation stariny us in the face. The price of cotton is below the cost of production and is yoitiy lower, lie says. Kvcrythiny in all wrony and the country has yone to the dcmnition how-wows and there lw ubw^/.l' / *'• riy» ..C ,....1,.^.^ * tion. He it is who hrfeds lack of confidence and the re.sultiny disas trous panic by sowiny in the minds of his fellowmen the little blue devil of doubt. Contrast him with the ehap who has unbounded confidence in his ability to earn a livelihood and an abiding faith that ultimately he ajui those of like calibre will land on top. He realizes that under present con ditions the South faces a tremendous loss on her chief product cotton but instead of bewailiny his fate he sets about to find a solution of his problem. He may talk of economy but never of hard times. What we need at present is more of his type and fewer calamity howlers. We have all heard the story of the man who left home one morniny, rad iating good health and fellowship. The first person he met remarked how “poorly" he was looking, and like wise the next, and the next, and so on, until the cheerful smile gradually left his face and he began to wonder if he really was failing in health. This kept up and by nightfall he had re tired to his bed and summonded his doctor. Thus docs the calamity howl er yet in his insidious work and the patient finally believes that he is in a much worse fix than he really is. There have been campaigns avainst the germs that threaten our physi cal health - let’s wage one against the germ that is threatening our finan cial health let’s declare war against the calamity howler.

Flying may become as common as driving an automobile, who knows? Hut there’s such a thing as flying too high, whether in * • aircraft or everyday life. The higher you fly, the farther you may fall. The man who wants to live too fast is figuratively at least a “high flyer” and stands as great a chance to fall as theneal “dare-devil” flyer who loops the loop. It pays to live lYithm your income. It pays to save a little from that income, and deposit it in a reliable bank like our-c It will make a soft place on which to alight in case you take a tumble. bank of Western Carolina, Capital Stock Protection Over $850,000.
