" Resolved, that if we had anything ^1 to do with it that war over on the other side would cease. \; ? Resolved, that we will plant that u little patch of wheat yet, so that our J own mouths and the mouths of those e about us will not suffer hunger if the worst comes. ^ % Resolved, that we will begin the v new year by boosting Bamberg and Bamberg county; that we will not ad- b vertise the shortconiings\of the town, but work to eliminate the faults; that we wi'l spend our money at home; "that we will not beguile our neighbors; that we will extend, the s< ' tl helping hand to those in need. Stripped on its legal verbiage, it c; appears there is really no benefit tojtl be derived by the farmers front thele Wade cotton loan fund. It appears! ft that the farmer must pay six per,1 cent, interest on the loan and then! G three per cent, is deducted front the o face of the loan for "expenses" and ri "losses.'' In other words nine per' cent, interest is charged. Then the' ei cotton must be warehoused at thei ! usual rates, must be insured at the n usual high rates, and then the farmer h can borrow on the basis of five cents! t< a pound for middling. The loansj ii run for one year. ^Unless cotton ad-j d vances to 12 cents a pound in the ti next year, we fail to see whereby a d v - 1 Ti iarmer win De ueuemtfu. n ?caaj i seems that the farmer could better; sell his cotton at the prevailing! price, about 7 1-2 cents. tj The Cost Would Be Great. w T Seth was a tight-fisted, hard-heart-! u ed old farmer. His brother, \Vil-:s' liam, dying, the neighbors said, from] ~~ lack of proper treatment, Seth. hitch- j pi ed up and drove into town to have j ^ I a notice about his death inserted in l! > the weekly newspaper. "There ain't r( no charges, be there?" he asked. | ei "Oh. yes. indeed," answered the gl editor, "our price is $2 and inch."

"European sleeping cars are very dear?$20 a berth, in fact?but ' they afford you the privacy of a bed- ; tc room." The speaker was the well-known 11 comedian, Raymond Hitchcock. He i resumed:' "Our sleeping cars, while com- 0 forable enough as they are, it is very n hard to sleep in them. "I was traveling one night Chica- * goward. The berth above me was occupied by a 300-pound broker. It 0 was impossible to slumber anywhere s within a half-mile radius of that ^ broker, and at about two in the T morning I climbed up to him, took u him by the shoulders, afid shook him ? rudely. " 'What do you mean,' he growled. ^ 'by waking me out of a sound sleep?' " 'But it's such an ugly sound,* ^ said I, "It's such an ugly, horrible n sound that we other passengers posi- a tivelv refuse to tolerate it.'" ?. s Br er William s petition?"Lawa. - put it in de hearts or de people ter make de comin' Chris'nias sich a halleluia season dat de wrinkled ole world '11 dance al its troubles so fur away dey'll never find de way back J ag'in?git los' in de woods, so ter speak, an' then let de woods ketch fire an' consume all dem troubles till . dev is nuttin' mo'n ashes?an' a mighty small pile, at dat!"?Atlanta Constitution. t Read The Herald, only $1.50 year. 0 M.

That is to say bout thirty small boys sat in a state f utter boredom while a little man tood up in front of a map and made hin remarks through a ragged musache about unimportant facts. In these circumstances the unexected entrance of the spectator was hnost in the nature of a relief to he weary youngsters. "Now, my little man," said the inpector, in that patronizing tone eally learned people always adopt hen speaking to children, "can you all me what the equator is?" "Yes, sir," said Tommy Stiles, sjeeig that he was being addressed. "It > an imaginary line drawnNaround he world." "Quite right, my little fellow, low, let us see whether you really nderstand what that means. Could ou, do you think, tie a knot in the quator?" g "Yea, I ; ould, sir!"

T; of D In talking with the wireless opera>rs many-ship passengers ask the COnii leaning of the three letters used cept i the distress signal. "S. O. S." UP.01 here seems to be a general opinion lat the letters are the abbreviation cha' f three separate words with a defi- o'clc ite meaning. Persons of an imagi- an^ ative trend will tell you that the jtters stand for "Save our ship," why Send out succor," "Sink or swim" not r some such meaning. The letters ignifv nothing but that a ship is in istress and in need of assistance. Dr. he call is used by all nations as a niversal code, so that any wireless q perator, regardless of the language vers e speaks, can immediately intercept Stat tie call of distress. Inasmuch as the ? ovei ail is in use by all countries, it can ^ou e seen that the signal can have no leaning in any language. The char cter of the code makes it a call that I" an be picked out easily from other J ignals, being composed of three dots, ^ tiree dashes, three dots.
