It is human nature to expect more
out of anything than can possibly
come.
o
Trying to keep up with somebody
else is what costs the average citizen
the most in living.
o
The smallest trifles and the minutest
details cannot be overlooked
for they count in the general make
up of all things.
o
The automobile is a thing of great
powre and service in business as
now conducted. It has also become
a great source of waste.
o
Pleasure takes it toll at all times
from the time and efforts of man.
It is a thin# that must be curbed '
or it will cost a man more than it is
worth.
o
Some men will do better than |
others and it is because they strive
to do their best. Men who do not
try cannot expect to get ahead of 1
the average.
o
There are men who will stick to
the fight through thick and thin,
while others will give up in disgust. 1
It takes grit to stick sometimes, and
this is when grit is worth the most.
o
Nothing brings skill like experi-i
ence. Theory as gained from books
is worth a whole lot when used as 1
a path leading to experience, otherwise
it amounts to nothing.
o
While many forces are pulling ac
the world's affairs to make things ;
worse, the general tendency has <
been upward ever since the beginnig. .
This is one thing that we are thankful
for.
o
Many have expected to become
great overngiht, not from what they 1
would do within themselves and the
carrying out of their own plans, but
from some outside source of greatness
and power. All of these belong
to the disappointed class.
o
There is a satisfaction in being
original and individual. He who
patterns after some other man cannot
claim to be original. Each person
is a complete and separate entit.

and there is much following of the
plans of the other fellow.
o
The minute that a man begins to
think that his success comes from
something outside cf him, he, that
minute becomes v. failure; because
success for him must come from wha*:
he is himself and the determination
that lies within him. and never can
result from outside forces.
o
The finest and best things come to
us from the hardest and most unremitting
attention and toil. Things
that cost us nothing are never appreciated.
It is a mistake to despise
hard work and unremitting
labor because from them come all
of the things that are of any good
to us.

Cotton in this county appears to
be i* thing of the past so far as
raising very much ol it is concerned,
and this is on account of the recent
rapid advance of the boll weevil.
Farmers will therefore turn
their attention to other crops, and
tobacco is sure to come in for a!
largo share oi' their attention.
While there aie great forces
working toward the upbuilding of
this country, there are forms- wni-tr
ing against Ibis. Just as the germs
of doea\ keep working at the final
destruction ol the soundest materials,
the 10 are things going on every day
in the year that tend to bring revolution
and chaos to this ureal nation.
The forces, working for good, must
of course he greater than those?
working for destruction, else the hitter
\vi!l, in time. overcome the former
and obtain the results that ar*
not wp.ntod by the best men and
women of the nation.
There seems to bo a spirit of unrest
of some kind permeating all
classes of ;he people. In the criminal
it is leading to crime bringing
about what some officer. or the la.v
have named a crime wave. In the
peace loving and law re^pectinc
classes the unrest takes a different
form such as dissatisfaction with employment,
wages, surroundings, conditions
of life, family affairs, neighboi
hood quarrels and disputes, failure
to pay debts when perfectly able tr
do it. By some it is said that ; uc!i
things are apt to follow the time ol
a great war, after it is over, an<
perhaps for several years after it*
close. It is the duty ol all to fighl
i. _ *. i
isuuh ij ucnuency because it is not th.
best for the people.

The business concerns in this "I

r.an or company ol* course have
<cmclhing worth spreading, and the.,
.he only way to make it spread i. f

o
Prices of cotton have gone upward
voi- since it appeared that the pres
sut crop would be one million bale
short of what was predicted, and [
even the amount predicted had bee?
small indeed as compared with tli
rops ot recent years. It is fully Ik*
lieved that tlio price will go sti'
h.iuher, and there appears 110 reasor
why it should not. For this reason
ill those who have kept in tauch wit!
ihe situation are advising* tlie farm
m*s to hold their cotton still longer
WILL VOU HE CATGUT SHORT '
The business concerns which suffered
most when the war boom collapsed
were those which found themselves
saddled with enormous inventories.
Having had their fingei
thus burned, many business men arc
priding themselves on the fact thai
they have now worked down then
stocks to next to nothing. But is
there not danger of carrying thipolicy
too far? Any thoughtful bus
iness man who looked ahead before
the end of 1919 and early in 1920
could not have failed to realize the
risk he was running by overbuying:
and over-production. But prices to
day are ou a drastically different
level. Whereas it manifestly wa
extremely risky to lay in any large
stocks at exorbitant prices, little or
no risk is involved in laying in sub
stantial stocks of materials or mer?.
i _ l i 11? ?i. _ ?
cnanuise wnicn are selling at or under
cost of production. It's a lon^
lane that has no turning. Just as
the boom terminated suddenly, so
the present deadlock may terminate
equally suddenly. Those who have
or can procure the necessary money
should seriously consider enetring
the market right now to cover reuuirements
for some time ahead.
Of course, in certain industries
prices are still obviously too high and
and must he reduced. But in a
great majority of directions the readjustment
has already been most
through. Tliis is not an ideal time
to j?o short of either goods or securities.
Remember, the best time

[S IMPORTANT
PUBLIC HEARING
Regarding the Charleston Terminais
Hc:c! on September
Twenty Sixth.
3USINESS MEM
ARE INTERESTED
!iis Meeting' is One of a Sories
to I?e Held at Various
Ports
A i>nni'ni>n..ln)li.? ~ I' * 1- - Ia - - j .

Commerce Commission of the United
States will hold a hearing; at the
United Slates Court Room at Charleston,
on September '2<>th, at 10:00 A.
M., on the question of terminal rates.
Ml persons interested are urged to
ittend and present their views.
The hearin.tr is one of a series heinu'
held :?t various South Atlantic
md Gulf ports, including Savannah.
Ta^ksonvPle Vow Orleans, etc. It
is based on a report prepared rece
>y the War Department. The sub stance
of this report is as follows:
At all important ports of the country,
including Charleston, the railroads
own and operate water terminals.
It appears that the acutal
"barges for the use of them by vessels
and shippers is so low that the
terminals themselves are operated by
the railroads at a loss. This loss, the
railroads make up to themsejves by
Hue-haul rates, for traffic destined
for these terminals, sufficiently large
^ t T* *u.,*
\.\r vu* ci i i? il iuiiu IIUU 1\ illL'l \
owned or municipally owned terminals,
which have no other branch
of their business in which to absorb
such losses, are unable to compete
with the railroads in this field. Such
terminals are therefore either driven
out of business: or restricted to warehousing,
or to local frieight business:
or, in the case of municipally-owned
terminals, operated at a loss which is
made up by taxation, etc.
While the railroads thus have to a
large extent the control of the terminal
situation, their present financial
condition is such that they are in general
unable to provide the largeh* ;"jreased
and modern terminal facilities
demanded by the traffic of the
country. As a result, the terminals
of our ports are inadequate and congested.
This has many serious results:
(1) On account of lack of storage
facilities, it is necessary in a period
of pressure to use for storage great
numbers of freight cars; thus aggravating
congestion of the railroads.
(2) Vessels are unable to obtain
their cargoes promptly, and incur
large losses thru delay in port and
consequent longer turn around. It
has been computed, in an average
case of a steel coal-burning ship ir
the European trade, that the savinr
by reducing the time in nort from 1"
days to 0 would be about $1S.P>00.00.
(3) Merchants and manufacturers
sustain 'arge direct losses thru
charges for demurrage, cartage, storage.
rehnndUng. etc.. which invariable
arise when vessels cannot be proptlv
loaded or unloaded; and sustain fur
ther.
(4) Losses due to inability of ship
pers to meet contracts for delivery
and due also to changes in marl:ef
price while goods are hold up in transit.
(5) And all these losses of cours'
efTect, and are largely borne by, thr
general public.
H1.. ta/1! An U i ? l'ii #vn,nc,f n/t 1
i n ii j vi i; v. .
First, A scalo of terminal charge'
sufficient to covrr actu;?' cost of ser
vice. This would enable private ter
mujals to operate at a profit if th'
railroads were obliged to pay then
such charges for work actually per
formed.
Second, Discontinuance of th^ prac
tice of absorbing terminal charge4
in the rate for the haul.
The changes proposed are designed
not to increase cost of transporta
tion. hut to enable private or muni
cipal terminal.- to rompete with vail
road terminals. The suggested in
creases do not necessarily mean in
crease in i<tal charges to destin '4i.~?r
As seen above, it mav mean mereb
a correct allocation of the costs, be
(ween line-haul and terminal charges
On the other hand, local shippers manow
be paying not only the termin?
charges on their own freight, br
also part of the terminal cost absorb
od in the rates from points outside (
local territory. If private and mr
nicipal terminals are to compete wit'
railroad terminals, charges must b
so adjusted that a shipper can bil
his freight to a vessel at any of ther
and get it on board, at no greate
cost than at the railroad terminals.
The above is the substance of tl1
report on which the Interstate Con
morco Commission is basing its ii
vostigation. It is seen that it is
question of vital interest to the con
munity.

MEXICAN TOWN

Booze Hounds Clamor For
Passports to Go To
Juariz
After ton war-lorn, impoverished
years during the successive Mexican
revolutions and especially the
Villa raids, Juarez, has suddenly
come into a new and. ?\ r hor people
unparalleled pro.-^poiity due to
the growing thirst ? .m of the!
citizenship of the dry L'v. I 'd Stated
says the Balitmore Sun.
hverydaj is a big d'.y in Juarez;
now and every night i.; v wild night
?just how wild it is nuecv.;.-ary to
see to understand. Like a muiti..i:?

of Americans who cross the international

appearance of wheyed clabher,
thoroughly stirred up with a little
wallpaper paste mixed in. up the
line through mesea! an?i teuila,
lager and bottled beers of excellent
quality; California Sapnish. French
and Italian wines and nearly all
of the well-known American, English
and Scotch whiskies there is
offered everything imair'm>Klo in
the form of alcoholic stimulants.
We asked the first person we met
on El Paso's street where we could
nret a passoprt. He grinned broadly.
smacked his lips and told us to
go down to the City Hall. Then ho
made us feel very bad by remarking
that wo nrobablv wonld have
to wait until morning), as there was
a sort of prohibitio nlimit on the
number of passports that could be
issued to "passportees" in any one
day. ?ur friend, however, brought
a ray of hope by suggesting that
people, and especially the Mexicans
lik^d to accomodate newpape1*
men.
So we went to the El Paso C'itv
Hall and were courteously referred
to the City Clerk, who had the dut-*
of issuing passports. Wo found
him .iust about to leave the office
for the afternoon, but he had not
quite grot away. As we approached
him we spied a sign which stated
in red letters: "No more passports
today for El Paso citizens.*' Apparently,
some leeway was left for
visitors, so we introduced ourselves
and explained our mission. Tho
City Clerk handed us each a card,
saying to si)?n "twice," and them
if we would hurry down to the
Mexican Consulate we might get it
vised in time for the night's celebration.
We rushed down the street, expecting
to charge the Mexicr" ro |

l^ariier of humanity, both Amen- ?w
Can and Mexican with seme other t!i
nationalities thrown in tor good th
measure. Nor was the visit with- Ji
out educational and highly enlight- f:
cning features, for we were de- a;
stined soon to learn just how the b<
Obregon government is paying the
pensions of tha former Villistas i;:i fc
maintaining the <.l.hcr expenses of c;
Government. It became very ap- ov
parent that the "r.a -s'lortnes" ; L;
present are the most important li
source of revenue supply. ri
Our line gradually moved for- tc
ward into the consulate, and it was
not so vrey long" before a Mexican N
official held cut his hand for out'
litle "'dentifixation cards." lie in
forired us that we must pay 2* 1'
cents American for a stamp. Ac ai
ceptintv the nxoney, he gvnvoly af 1*
fixed to each card a nice blue tarn:- O
scratched something or another i
Spanish through the stamps, an'1 tithe

$?.00 and receipt for same on ; (;
paper which was handed to each f<< ?
us. After that we would he fjivor t(
our identification cards and wr
could proceed into old Mexico a" j-j
far as the 10 days' life of the pass "
port would permit. We shelled ou "
$2.00 each to another official, ar ^
soon we marched proudly out int ^
the street ay:ain, the card w
closely cultchod in our perspirinvT ^
palms the orecious little cards.
We found the Juarez car crowd .
ed with many and motley types of
humanity. At the bridjrc a Mexican
official Rot on the front end of the ~
car, gave the crowd the "once over" ^
and motioned to the motorman tr p
go ahead. Thus we were piloted ^
into Juarez, meantime deciding ?
that we would follow some "knowing-fooking"
man in the crowd un
til we "learned the ropes." That
soon proved unnecessary.
So far as the traveler is con ^
cerned, Juarez consists mainly <>'* ^
rom^ two or three streets, th? prin ^
cipal one being: what would cor- jj
respond to "Main street" in the J
average American town. In thi *
case, however, Main street consist ?
jvamly of sa'oons. every d'
rection as far as tho eye could ^
see there were saloons and it ^
every show window there were j
^litterin^ displays of American,
Scotch and English whiskies, hour

ed after some States, seme city of
some brand of whiskey well known
in the United States before thesr ^
days of prohibition. Into them al!
the crowds surged and over thosr ?
bars old-fashioned bartenders,
Americans, some Mexicans, some
negroes, ^ave the necessary im- g
petus to continous flows of beers
wines and whiskies.
We proceeded on up the street i
observing the swirling crouds, talc- r
