Even if someof -those cotton-carrying steamships are sunk, won't that help decrease the surplus? "Success Is not luck, nor pull, nor i soft snap, but the longst, steadiest, toughest job you ever tackled."

Nearly every public man, either'Rec publican or Democrat, endorses Presi dent Wilson's war policy. Which leaves one T. R..in al~hopeless minority. The fact that lleaters for the trenches in the European war have been ordered is very conclusive evidence that hostili ties have barely begun, more's the pity'. "it's a long, long time since we had any pardons," laments the Anderson Mail. There was no one to pardon; but just wait till the justice mills begin to grind. What t' try needs is i" e er IS d more mn public office . busi ness men. Lawyers sometime. give us5 good laws, but fix them so tha they enn be so easily evaded. Of course, swat those 1fsk.y fies. We've been a-swatting 'em all our lives, but we have never missed one yet there are more now than when we first began to swat. But swat the fly, any way. Congress has adjourned after nearly two years. of continuous work. Many important laws were passed and several other good bills failed to get through. Congressmen need a rest, and so do the people. It is reported the Germans recently captured 100,000 Russianls. What we want to know is, what will Germany do with those 100,000 bunches of whiskers ''The bear that walks like a man'' is noted for? The Mexican treasury being empty, General Oaranza has ordered a levy on all business'* in Mexico City. He has1 evidently picked out a soft place to light, along with. his predecessors who were lucky eriough to make a get-away, and he needs the dough. Poor old Mexico! The trouble with most of these so called neutral travelers in and about the War. zone is that they are not neutra) in their views: They trav ol about under the guise of. neutrality and then send homie some very unneutral stuff about condittons in the various countrles at War. .~~ .' ~ The Sentinel slipped ipladt week in stating that the next: sto pwould be Ester; but we entirely oy ~oked our old friend St. Patrick. Th tfore, the next stop won't be Easter, with all the fine bonnets and pretty gowns and love lywomen, but we'll honor goo~old3hint * Pat, who chased all the snakes out o'f Man r s i -,Ag hen we failed to receive eougia 100 Tribune last week we $44 like Oi Gossett had sometbing nij abost 1 ih his paper,iand our suspicions a'ie thered by the followingf Itemwhbih v get frorn the' Tribune 'by way of t Greenville PIe'drtont: "We notice the subscribers of t] Pickens Senttinel are contributing to fund to buy'the editor a pair of pant Better buy for him a Majestic rang He has somebody to do -his cooking ai mending now." But, Mr. Gossett, you know we hi to have the pants first. We are all right once more. A man tailoririg conventign in Chicago has d cided that our pants shall be shortel Glory be! We can now take down som of our long trousers and, by careft pruning, hang back two pairs of pant where only one hung before. Agairi glory be! "To market, to market to buy a fa pig; home again, home -again, jiggit3 jig" used to be an old-time song. Also, "'Off agin', on agin', gone agin, Finne gan, "but it is hoped it will be diflerenit now. Farmers are raising their own pigs and don't have to go to the market jiggity jig; and the Pickens railroadII has no use for a Finnegan, because it's mostly off agin' and seldom on agin'. Savvy? The postollice department, which was organizedl aid perfected for the benefit of the whole people of this country, and which was never intended to be a money muaking proposition. has just paid into the national treasury $3,600,000, repre senting the surplus in the revenues of that department for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914. For the fiscal year o 1913 the Postal surplus wias $3,800,000, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo say, these payments were the first repro senting actual surplusses made by tht postoflice depa rtment. since 1836. Fror these facts it would seem best to leavo the mail service alone, especially the rural delivery end of it, instead of going back to the antiquated contract system, as Postmaster General Burleson has been agitating. [)oes he want to pa5 larger dividendls, or less? If the latter, the contract system is the way to do it but if he wants the department to be al least self-sustaining and at the sam4 time give the people the best mail ser vice they have ever had, he will aban don the contract plan.

Ther.pAyo..be'en ie passed in the last two years at least a dozen measures any two ie or three of which would have a. been sufficiendto make a.credit - able showing for the body re id soonsible for their enactment. The reyision of the tariff td downward was the prime obli gation to which the retiring law makers were committed when s they weiitinto office. Thit had been the big issue of the cam paign in which' VVoodrow Wil e son was elected. The, enemies i1 of tariff reform were prepared to 1 acquiesce with what grace they could muster il the changes proposed. It was a hard job which the Democrats had but it was accomplished without a hitch. Nobod y knew, however, what would be the result when congress tackled its next big job. that of providing the coun try with a new and workable currency law to take the place of the broken-down and danger ous system with which we v'ere encumfibered. What was hc complished in this matter has excited the admiration of the nation. It is accepted by finan ciers of all parties as the very best law which could have been secured. But these t w o big pieces of legislation were only a beginning. An income tax law was written upon the statute books. A- federal trade commis sion has been created, from whose activities great things are hoped.' The anti-trust I a w s have been reyised. Arrange ments were made for the open ing up of Alaska. The tolls ex emption clause in the Panama canal act was repealed. A law regulating c o t to n exchanges was passed and has just gone into effect. A drastic measure designed to break up) traffic In all habit-forming dr6gs went thr6u'gh and was put into oper ation' the first of this month. The Lever-Smith bill, declared - by agricultural educators to be - the finest piece of constructive - work of its kind ever enacted by , any law-making bod y, was ' adopted. -.... This is a record which speaks - for itself. 'IC has been made be c cause the Democratic party as 'h represented at W'shington has 11 disappointed its enemies. Two years ago it was the hope of Pe publicans, as it was the fear of 1 Democrats, that the Democrats mn congress would soon b(e torn ' asunder lby rows among them Sselves. This has not happened. r W'ith the sole exception of the ship purchase bill the party has worked together harmoniously and effectively. It has demon 'strated1 its caaiyfor team work. It has gone far to earn For this the public very properly e accords the bulk of the credit to ,~ the ad m ira ble leadership of Pres ) ident Wilson. But the support f which the president has rceived - has been scarcely less admirable. The lawmnakers have earned their rest. it is the first time in i six years that congress has ad - journed with the.jloapct of a r 'long recess a -adi of it.Uies C an extra esio~n should be called )tidi ~ ournment taken todlay will be until December 6i, a mat ter of nine months. Let us hope i that nothing wvill happen mean r time to force the president to I bring the legislat ive branch of i the government into action be ,fore it is regularly scheduled to f meet again.

Cotton credit is up set. The supply merchant cannot aa vance supplies on 1915 cotton.

A good -piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended 'and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay bait your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew! But it must be a real garden, and not the mere one-plant ing patch in the spring and fan.
