Quint; , 25 T?rke Pr?vost /South Side mini* Uncle Dai The current Banker-Farmer, pub lished by the agricultural commis sion of the American Bankers' Asso ciation for the purpose of fostering .rloser relations and a spirit of co operation between the financial and igrlcultural intereste, offers on its over page a creed which it calls, The Xew Banker." This is worthy f . study of every man, hanker or ,ot.~Ylere it is: "I believe no man can be a good '.>ankcr who is not first a good clti '.en, in all the term implies. I believe :oiid citizenship rests on ability and willingness to pull one's own weight, with capacity not only for sturdy nelfehelp, but also due regard for the rights of others." I believe that the more points at 'hic'n we touch human nature and i'.uman interests, the more allvfe we become and the longer we stay so. ! believe we cannot prosper by ap plying yesterday's methods to today; hat each man is in some measure master of his community's destiny; .hat good government is a matter of business?not politics; that to assist in ail material, moral and spiritual ipbuilding is the fundamental of m lightened selfishness. I believe we need more men of ! very class who will appreciate this. Abo will stand for something be ides themselves. I believe in efficiency, service and Fraternity; in- a close knit convmuni t . of interests and hopes; in a sane. In oad-vi3ioned stand that shall make for the banker-farmer?and the I banker?everybody. Some implications of this may be nuestioned. Yet. it is an excellent! creed. If the bankers of this country, or any other class of its citizens, will regulate their actions by such rules we shall quickly conquer the evils "hieb beset us. Xo man believes -n fighting harder for a principle than I do. I yield to none in determination to advance the right, as 1 see it, so far as I can, V't in my honest opinion the tax payers of Anderson county will make u big mistake to Vjote for this, $750, :;?? road tax for Anderson county. We are treading dangerous ground today, our country, I firmly believe will have to war with Mexico, if we were* through unhurt in this interna n?tional crisis, it will be due to three things: Thc calm honesty of the president, and good sense and pa triotism of the American people and (he watchful, loving care of Him who, watching over Israel, slumbers not nor sleeps. A rare and truthful book could be written upon the "High cost of living," but what's the use, when the entire work could be condensed into the one word, "Theft." People steal* more nowadays, and more of them are at it: I can-remember the time when men and women Valued their friends and acquaintances more for the pleasure of their companionship than for-what they could l'get out of "em." In these latter days you have to be valuable to your acquaintance if you want to retain his real friendship. This may sound cruel and harsh to a sensitive nature, and it is?but I* have long since decided that lying is about thc acme of human perfidy?especially when put in print. The truth is, the entire nation seems to have gone hog wild over, the accumulation of mon ey. It is the entire human thought by day and the continuous dream by night. What was considered plain, ordinary theft 50 years ago, comes under tho name of Bhrewdness, t sharpness and "business ability" at ! the present time. . !

'.-V : ' " H.- ' 'i ,. ue's Leiter I The great masses of the people of any nation are never responsible for war. Home man or a limited number of men?are always lnstlgatorea?and upon their head pours the blood of 1 slaughtered thousands. While I have ! never been a believer in the obi fash* 1 ton orthodox Methodist hell, I have about concluded that if there is none, I the Ijot? has made a mistake in not creating a real first-class one. If you wart to forget your troubles, get a pair of tight ?hocs. 1 care absolutely nothing about the name or character of a man's re ligion, jtiBt so it suits him?and ho doesn't try to force me to accept his theories. If every rich man paid taxes in proportion to the poor man, national. Stute and county vaults would have to be en.urged. It Is mighty poor consolation to an editor to hear his paper praised by a man who owes seven years back subscription. This keeping one eye on Washing ton and the other on Mexico is rapid ly making us ' crosseyed. A good way In which to make farm ing pay Is to encourage and help the women and children on the farm to run some kind of a little industry which will be both a pleasure and a profit to them: Encourage them to raise poultry; help them to sell milk, eggs and butter; to plant fruit trees, grape vines, strawberries und other .useful and money producing crops, so they will have a little money of their own and be more contented to stay on the farm. Here's to love, a thing so divine. Description makes it but the less; 'Tis what we foel but cannot define, 'Tis what we know but cannot ex press. Dr. Acker was telling the story of a little girl who had been much ill treated, says: "She Bald she had been whipped as far back as she could re member." That is about where most children are whipped, as we under stand It. The boy stood on the burning deck; F'illef ships bley their horns; Alas, he could not move, because The heat had popped his corns. I am receiving many Inquiries late ly, asking about the advisability of cros3-breeding. Of course, we know that the first cross of two pure breeds give us a crc38-bred offspring. When we come to breeding together this cross-bred stock, we are left ab solutely In the dark as to the knowl edge of what the offspring will be. They evidently will be genuine mon grels or scrub stock. I generally ask these people why they wish to cross breed. They generally say to Improve the breed they have, or some stan dard breed. They evidently think that they caa keep all the desirable quali ties of one and add the desirable qualities of another: Not so my friends. In a deal of thin kind your dhances are of losing something and gaining nothing. To cross-breed and start a' new ?reed is ail right os s pleasure and.opportunity to fool away time, but entirely unsatisfactory for a man hoping' to make- ^ living out of chickens. If you desire to gain no toriety take up some of our ' older breeds and again bring them .Into favor.

I have had my troubles, and yet, I can say that in eVery year of my life r have felt the Joy of living, and never more hnve I felt.the Joy of living, than in ihn last few years when I have been ipproaehihg old age. Our creator intended that we should enjoy life, that we should be happy; but In order to be happy, we must do our part, we must fight dospondency as we would the attack of a wild beast. We. must look on the cheerful side of things.'We must be hopeful. We must expect good things: When winter comes, we must look forward to the spring.

NEW YORK. March 18.?Cotton was less active today with prices easing '/IT under liquidation and sel ling for a reaction. The close was steady at a net decline of ? to 7 points. Private cables reported realizing in a narrow market at Liverpool, and the opening was at a decline of 4 to 5 points. Reactionary sentiment also was encouraged by the census report indicating the supply of 191,4 Unters was a little over 772.000 hales com pared with 031,000 ' ist year, hut sel ling was restricted by continued large spot sales in Liverpool, and the steady ruling of southern spot markets lute yesterday. The maiket showed a' fuiriy steady tone during early trading and prices rallied from the opening on spot house buying of May against sales of later months, some scattered covering nud a little Wall Street huyings. Offer ings increased slightly around closing ligures of yesterday, however, and the market turned easier again during the afternoon on southern selling und re ports of a lower spot market at New Orleans.

New Orleans Cotton. NEW ORLEANS, March IS.?The cotton market was slow and hesitating toduy. Profit taking from the long side was against prices, bullish trad' era were not aggressive ami bears were eucouraged by reports of a smaller spot inquiry in the interior and by the drop of 12 points in local spot quotations. In spite of all this the market had very little selling power and made several rather sharp recoveries from the decline. At the lowest prices were 5 to 8 points un der yesterday's close and at the high est they were 1 point over. The close was at the lowest. The question of acreage caused much discussion and It was evident that not a few longs were withdraw ing from the market because they feared a further advance at this time would result In moro extensive plant ing than has been advocated. Tele grams from the interior said small spot buyers were withdrawing from the market because of the difficulty found in clearing export shipments.
