One rule we have observed is that

Should the farmers turn fool and
raise a big cotton crop this year, what

Fall. They cannot eat it, and if it
turns out that they cannot sell it, they
will be in the hole..

Let it be our aim to try to find some

It is not luck and g^od fortune that

There arc many who remain down
in thi4 world and practically unknown
to tho people of their own communities
throughout their lives, because
they are unwilling to undertake the
work and the worry of doing what
they are capable of. To stand oil" and
see others doing things looks easy.
Their success is ascribed by those
looking on to luck or money, but it is
not so. In nine cases out of ten it is
because those others were willing to
do and to dare, and were always willing
to do and to dare. That is the
main secret of their success.
y *
The farmer very seldom looks at his
work from a business stand point. He
knows in the beginning that he can
not depend upon just what the seasons
will be, although he sometimes plants
in the moon, or whenever the stars
say so, in order to try to catch fortune
ahead of time. He starts out in a
hap hazard way as he views the situation,
and he gets into that habit
and remains in it. Tt is not the best
plan by far for him, and some of the
farmers have found it out. Go after
what there is to be had out of anything
and run after it in a business
way. Nothing in the world can be per
feet and the results obtained from
any proposition will hardly ever, if at
all, turn out just what the promotor
expected. Hut stick to it for what
there is in it and make results count
from good management.
* * *
More and more both men and women
are getting down to strict business
in every walk of life. As the
population of the world increases,
new methods have to be put into effect,
new plans for making a living.
More and more life has to reduce it
ij? j - i - ? ? -
sen 10 a system wnereoy Dusines? is
kept strictly to itself, and the pleasures
and recreation is kept to itself
and always follows after the business.
The business of life as we may please
to call it is a matter for serious
thought and study and more and
more it must be as time goes along
and it becomes harder and harder for
[ each individual in the world to make
his or her individual place in it the
scheme of things.

FAR RKACTIING EFFECTS
OF LEAD POISONING.
Load poisoning has a detrimental of
feet on the off-spring of the workers,
whether male or feamale. Half a
century ago Constantino Paul reported
striking observations on the effects
of paternal lead-poisoning?cases in
which the father was subjected to
! plumbism, the mother being unaffected.
He obtained the history of thirtytwo
pregnancies of this order; twelve
; of them resulted in the death the
child before birth; twenty children
were born alive, but the mortality
among them was extremely large, only
two surviving the third year. Chill
dren so born were found particularly
liable to various nervous affections
I These unusual statistics, says the
Journal of the American Medical Association,
have not, so far as we arc
aware, been refuted.
In the University of Wisconsin, Cole
and Bachhuber have shown the effect
i oi lead on me germ cells ot the male,
in rabbits and fowls. The young produced
by male rabbits poisoned by ingestion
of lead acetate have a lower
vitality and are distinctly smaller than
normal offsprings of unpoisoned males
In fowls likewise the poisoning of the
male parent with lead results in offspring
of lower vitality.
The outcome of these investigations
furnisher, food for reflection. Lead
poisoning and the opportunities for it
arc by no means rarities. There are
more than a hundred occupations in
i which industrial load poisoning may
more or less readily occur, and the
cases of known intoxication from such
sources reach into the hundreds in
some of the larger cities. Plumbism
i may appear under most peculiar clinj
ic-al guises and with most unexpected
histories. These newly recognized
features of the elfects transmitted to
a s cond generation complicate its
manifestations more than ever.
OBITUARY
On last Tuesday morning March 23d
about 4 o'clock, the death angel visited
the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Cox
and took their darling baby little Geo.
Cleveland.
He was sick eleven days and Oh!
such sufFering the clittle one endured
with broncho pneumonia. Especially
on that last night. All night it lay
awake, but it fell asleep at morn. All
was done for it that loving hearts,
willing hands, and a good physician
could do, but all failed to case the
little body so racked with pain, until
God saw lit to take the little one home
to him. Little George was two years,
: 8 months and 13 davs old. A very
* I
j bright and sweet little child, and Oh!
I .
I how hard to part with him. How
| lonely is papa, mama and the dear little
sister, how they miss the busy little
foot and the sweet voice, which
was ofter heard, as it went about it's
play, even trying to sing songs in it's
own little words. The song it tried
most to sing was that old time hymn
'That bright day may be tomorrow,
on the other shore." Early did that
bright day come to Little George and
while wo wee]) he is singing with the
angels on that other shore. His life
though short has left a ray of sunshine
in our lives, and may we all live
so as to meet the little one at Jesus'
feet.
Gone to thy rest fair child,
Gone to thy dreamless bed
Gentle, meek and mild
With blessings on thy head.
Before thy heart could learn
In waywardness to stray
Before thy feet could turn
The dark and downward way.
?His Loving Cousin.

* IMPORTANCE OF READING *
* (Contributed)
**********
j I
"Read more and grow wiser," is a j
i phrase creditable as a watch word for
j every business man or woman, and
j more especially those who serve in
; public offices or assume the positions
of leadership.
The proper place to begin this is in
mo school room. l!?o teacher should
impress this habit upo \ the minds of
the young folks.
No one can enjoy an education to
! its full extent unless he or she adopts
the practice of reading, and besides
the pleasures one gets by reading, ho
gains a great fund of knowledge
which figures an important part In
; his daily affairs.
i lie who invests all his spare time
in the reading of good books and news
papers will some day be the horned
man of the community; and he who
idles away his time will he his slave.
Education is a tool, so to speak, to
better equip one for managing his
own affairs, and unless the tool is
constantly in use it becomes dull and
of very little service; but if it is kept
in steady use it becomes very serviceable.
What an intelligent people we
would be were we to spend all of our
idle moments reading some good
book or newspaper. For istance, let
us glance back over the lives of
Christopher Columbus, Thomas Edison,
Benjamin Franklin, and others
whose lives have proven such great
blessings to humanity, we find that
reading books and magazines played
an important part in their inventions
and discoveries. But instead there
are thousands who are trudging alog

the present worldly attractions and
never one time glancing into the future.
Often we hear folks say; "Oh! But
if I only could have had the opportunities
such and such a fellow has,"
Why wait to get the chances of some
one else when you have the golden
opportunities of your own, only to be
watted and ignored?

we think we arc) less fortunate than

No one lives to be too old to learn,
and there is no better way of learning
than by reading. Though unfortun;
ately a good many of us wait for ox|

should have learned years ago.
Often we are confronted with prob
mms that wo cannot solve unless we
have kept in close touch with the daily
happenings all over the country,
and to ho thus informed we need help
from various magazines and newspapers.
Never before within the history of
the civilized world have the educational
opportunities been so great as
they are now. Are we taking advantage
of these opportunities or are wo
letting them slide?
LITTLE HOPE NOW FOR GOOD

South Carolina Growers Warned of
Conditions that Threaten Overladen

Clemson Colege, March 29.?W.
W. Long, State agent of demonstration

Clemson, directs the attention of the
South Carolina farmers to a statement

ers of the eastern counties especially
to take note of the situation and not
to put too much of their dependence
on Irish potatoes this year.
The statement from Washington is
as follows:
"Truck growers who annually plant
a considerable acreage of potatoes
are warned by the United States Department
of Agriculture that there
was, on January 1, 1915, a very much
larger supply of northern-grown potatoes
in the hands of growers and
dealers than was the case January 1,
1914. Experience has demonstrated
that a large hold-over crop of northern-grown
potatoes which is in good
condition and selling at a reasonable
price when the early truck-crop potatoes
reach the market means low
prices -sometimes so low that the
