There is amovementon foos i w asn c ington to have Dr. Frederick A. Cool and Admiral Robert E. Peary discuss in a joint debate, "Who discovered th4 North Pole?" Wait till we get rid o: the Thaw dase, the Frank case and th< European war. Besides, the basebal season is coming on and that old Nort] Pole chestnut wi4 keep without ice. Secretarfof the Navy Daniels' cours, in running the navy to suit himself especially in regard to prohibiting th< use of intoxicants for both officers ani men, and which has been severely criti cised by the northern press, has beei approved by two former secretaries o the navy-John D. Long and Hilary A Herbert. "Let the heathen rage." There is always a way to evade a law especially the liquor law, but the violat ers usually come to grielf. Alabama ha a brand new liquor law and the blim tigers are trying to beat it already. Thi latest scheme was worked by a gentle man of color in one of - the towns. Hi operated a clothes cleaning establish ment and put a pint of whiskey in thl pocket of every coat he cleaned ani a dollar therefor. He did riig business until the law got him The Yorkville Enquirer says tha "tsse who do not work should not eat and those who work should see to th enforcement of the rule. There are to many people who do not work trying t live off those who do work." What ar you going to do with the man who ca not get work-see to it that he starves There are many thousands of men wh are anxious to work but can not get i -going to enforce the rule on them What the Enquirer means, we suspect is to turn down those who are "work ing" their fellow men' for their ow: benefit. Life, a comic publication of NeN York, patterned somewhat after th style of Judge, had a little squib re cently that was supposed to be sarcasti of Southern methods. It said, in part "Our friends down South, being sur, that the negroes are inferior, deny ther advantages and provide inferior school for negro children that they will continu, to be inferior." Of course, that write: was never any further south than Phil adelphia, or perhaps he did stray ove as far as Baltimore; otherwise he woul have known better. We of the South giv the negroes all the education they ar capable of absorbing, have as #goo( schools as the white children, bj w will not mix them up as they -. schools which the editor of Life atnd ed. The good Lord never intended tha toe Caucasian race should put gorilla; and chimpanzees on an equality nor tV mix them up socially, as is done in the North. The average negro is as inferio: to thd white man as the editor of Lif< is to the average Southerner. "Afte: all," concludes Life, "there is nothini quite so satisfying as the feeling tha you have got things fixed so that yoi will always have an inferior race il your midst." We are sure about th< negro because we know him, but w< have not yet got the editor of Life clas sified-whether he is descended fron Mr. Gorilla and Mrs. Chimpanzee-i e si anso w will not be known. ssed Saviour's snow white throne. Yes, we shall join that heavenly band And sing around the Saviour's stra nd. Soon in heaven we shall meet . There our loved ones we shall greet. The love of heaven we shall share, Safe in the Saviour's tender care. Safe on that bright and happy shore, Where sorrow and parting comes no more The above poem was composed bI Joel only a short while before his death Nov. 21, 1914. These were the lasi lines that he ever wrote. His subject "Cross Roads Band," was chosen ir honor of their Sunday school and prayeJ meeting, in which he was most deepl3 interested. 'Tis sad to give up such a promising boy as Joel, only in his 17t1 year; yet such must be chronicled ir many cases. "God is too wise to mak< mistakes." X.

We are all facing a risis on cotton. Cotton credit is up et. The supply merchant cannot aa ance supplies on 1915 cotton. You aust do your best to produce on your wn acres the food and grain supp1les hat have made up most of your store ebt in the past. A good piece of garden ground, ightly planted, rightly tended and :ept planted the year round, can be tade to pay half your living. It will ave you more money than you made n the best five acres of cotton you ver grew! But it must be a real 'arden, and not the mere one-plant ag patch in the spring and fan.

And you will find by continued hitching your b ilking horse with your good one that you will get the good one so it will want to balk. So, Mr. Wright, let as not hitch up with these balking folks. If we do they will get us so we will not want to pull good ourselves. 2 Corin thians 6:14 17; Hebrews 12:1. READER.
