It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into jail. See Congressman Kitchen is a "small navy man." A Kitchen navy armed with parlor rifles might make a meal for a Kaiser. t ? a There is no arguing with the AflMnevitabie.

The little savings bank in the home means more for the future of the children of a family, almost, than all the advice in the world. It gives them the right start.? William McKinley. Merchants, as well as newspapers vfill do well to ponder occasionally these words of Emerson: "If a man builds a better mouse 0. trap than his neighbor the world will make a beaten path to his door." People usually get about all the v patronage they deserve. If the world isn't'comiug to your door as you think it ought, offer a bet4 J i- ^ -1 - i ' - wjr i?ruuuc5?ana advertise id. The Mullens Messeuger closes an excellent editorial with the following paragraph, which The Advertiser endorses and offers to its readers: "You are making your money here but where are you spending it? Are you buying goods from the local dealer, who pays taxes and otherwise contributes liberally to the upkeep of the community and your home, or are you sending your money away to some catalogue house that wouldn't lend you a five cent piece to save your soul from purgatory?" THE LAND OF TO-MORROW The able and brilliant editor of the {Savannah Press, Hon. Pleasant ? . Jjtovall, now ministr to*SWitf!erlaud, traveled in exico dfcveral years ago. His accounts of the habits and ways of those people explain much that has been transpiring in that wretched country the past few years. Mr. Stovall called it "the land of Manna"?land of tomor row?which he thus explained: If you asked an idle man, (and, they were generally idle) to do some work for you, the invariable reply would be "Manna"?tomorrow. These people could, if they would, learn a lesson from Cuba. That country was for a time very much like Mexico but Uncle Sam give the unhappy isle the benefit of his help and advice and Cuba is becoming a ne1" and better country. A re- j cent issue of the Brooklyn Star and Unioti says that the Cubans are learning that business is more pleasant and more profitable than idleness and revolutions. In 1914 America bought from Cuba $(M).000,(X?0 worth of products of that country. Since Cuba went into business as a republic she has made steady progress in business, in religion and in education. Would that Mexiv co would learn the lesson of v:uban independence and profit ^JUthereby. \ --- ? ) LAW OR ANARCHY. WHICH? When a mob of twenty-five s men took Leo Prank from the Georgia penitentiary, carried him over one hundred miles, and hung him to a tree, the State of Georgia suffered an indignity that is difficult to characterise. As to the awtyl crime that Frank was charged with there are no words iu the English language too severe to apply to it. But when Gov. John M. Slayton, after spending days and nights studying the legal record of the State decided to change the sen tence from banging to life im. prisonment he was exercising the power that the laws of the State of Georgia place i in bis hands. He stated in explaining his action that there was too much doubt as to Frank's guilt to allow him to affix the dei th of the judges ot guilt, after readingtjhe evidence. , Judge Jpoan, who tried the caae, , left a written statement just be fore his death that be did not be* < lieve Frank guilty. Thousands < of people who had read the 1 evidence as published in the ( papers sent petitions to Got. 4 Slayton asking him to do what < he did. To hang a man on doubt- I ful circumstantial evidence and . the evidence of a vicious negro t was more than Gov. Slaton 1 thought he ought to do. Life im- ( prisonment might give a man a j chance to prove his innocence, j r.nd life imprisonment is by ] many people regarded as a living 1 death?worse even than capital punishment. And yet from the 1 abuse heaped upon Gov. Slaton , one might imagine that he had ] granted Frank a full pardon?instead of condemning him to prison for life. The Atlanta Constitution, in an editorial, headed "Georgia's Shame," urges an immediate and thorough effort to bring to justice those who have so flagrantly taken the law into their hands. The Augusta Chronicle, edited by one one of the South's ablest and most ifluential waiters, says in a powerful editorial: "There can be but one answer to this assault on the authority and integrity of Georgia. It is a straight issue between law and anarchy. Let Georgians choose for them solves. This climax was inevitable as long as we permitted incindiary publications to set Georgia aflame. "Tom Watson has cost Georgia more than ten thousand good and true men can build in twenty years." Boys' and Girls' Globs I XT I /ni - m north Uarolina 1 Lieut. Gov. Daughtridge, of North Carolina, believe s the boys' i corn, pig and poultry clubs and i the girls' poultry and tomato ' clubs that have been organized , throughout the state give prom- . ise of quickly relieving the state of tho drain of #40,000,000 that : now go out of the state yearly 1 for supplies that should be raised ' at home. He went to Haleigh to , deliver an address to the confer- i ence of members of the boys' 1 clubs in progress there with the county farm demonstrators and is enthusiastic over the splendid showing that the 235 boys make. Mr. Daughtridge said that he feels sure that this movement for enthusing the country boys and girls in the club work will develop in the most rapid way possible the production of home supplies and end the drain on the state that has in the past taken about the full money value of the cotton crop. He expects these boys' clubs to brjng up the production of corn and meat and the canning clubs to have the effect of saving from waste vast quantities of fruit and vegetables that have heretofore been left to 1 decay in the tields or to go waste in other ways.
