But you have to know where to go for them. Same
may be with lumber. In spite of the hard times,
good lumber can be had at the right places. This is
one of them and you will find it much to your
advantage to give us your next order. You'll know
why after you have used the lumber.

When a man lets his girl child
have free run of the town and
its amusement resorts; when he
fails to censor his taste in dress,
and escorts and amusements.and
when he permits her to go where
she will, with whom she will
andjreturn when she will; when
the father of a child is so mani-
festly indifferent to her future
as to have no concern for her
present, it is a fair assumption
on the part of the daughter and
her masculine friends that he
doesn't care where she goes or
what she does. The result is
often written in court do'ekets
or sensational newspapers, and
the parents usually come in for
a lot of sympathy. The truth is
that many fathers and mothers
are so anxious for their daugh-
ters to have men friends and to
get married and out of the way
that they are disposed to take
chances which should not be
taken and accept for her the at-
tentions of men who are unfit to
associate with good girls. "We
hear a good deal about delin-
quent girls and their sorrows.
Why do we not hear more about
the parents who have contribu-
ted to the delinquencies of such
girls? Galveston News.
This Billy Sunday $alvatfon
$pot-light plan looks like placing
the Christian religion on a bar-
gain counter. It looks like re-
ducing the plan of salvation to a
matter of dollars and cenls, on
the basis of cold commercialism.
It looks like making a moekery
of the teachings of the Savior of
mankind. It looks like bringing
it down to the plain business
proposition of how much is there
in it. The Christian "religion has
suffered many travesties in the
name of religion and piety. But
this bargain counter plan of sal-
vation, with thunder aad light-
ning effect, caps all .climaxes.
Advertising the religion of Jesus
of Nazareth on the same scale
employed by a mardi gras carni-

invite the wrath of God in pro-

WHAT 'SMATTER
WITH COTTON?
There is something wrong
with the cotton situation some
where. For the year ending
July 31 we exported cotton to
the amount of 8,510,567 bales.
This is only 202,162 bales less
than we exported in 1913 before
the European war began, In
August, 1913, cotton was selling
around 12 1-2 cents per pound on
the farm while today, with prac-
tically the same exports, it is
selling about 8 1-2 cents per
pound or $20 per bale less. Cot-
ton in European ports is away
up, ranging as high, according
to last accounts, at 44 cents a
pound middling basis in Moscow,
Russia, which is receiving cotton
through the port of Archangel.
The difference In production
between 1913 and 1914 was about
two million bales, not enough to
account for the increased manu-
facture of pov;uer and other
high explosives, those now used
being composed of 98 per cent
of cotton,
It is quite certain, although
the figures are not at hand, that
our country has been selling
more domestic cotton goods, and
taken in connection with all of
the e facts, it is hard to con-
ceive why the southern cotto n
planter has been mulcted to the
amount of $160,000,000 on his
1914 cotton crop. In fact he
was held ire for much more, as
some of the 1914 crop sold as low
as 5 and 6 cents a pound.
Can not some of the states-
men who know so much about
the farmers' business and pro-
fess such a great love for the
interest of the farmer about
election time, tell us why it ia
with the same exDorts. high nri-:
. . A
ce8 in otner countries, a vast
consumption in the manufacture-'
of munitions of war and a big,
home market, that the cotton'
farmers have to bold the bag
while all other farm crops not as
valuable as cotton in wartimes
have reached top prices. Aus-

The newspaper works day in
and day out for its town and
community. It never sleeps0.
The clouds never grow too dark
for the newspaper to keep up the
flag of optimism seeking to
give encouragement to all classes.
But especially is the newspaper
invaluable to the "cown." They
labor lincessantly for its every
industry, stores, manufacturing
plants, streots, municipal de-
velopments, in fact every phase
o the town life which promises
to better conditions and advance
Ihe cause of its people. But in
face of this the citizens, especial-
ly among the business men, 'ap-
pear to care little or anything,
for their prosperity, their pro-
gress and development, it is
wrong. The business men and
citizens haye every, reason to
promote, the newspapers' inter-
ests, especially in view of the
fact that the newspapers furnish
the real sensible and successful
methods of publicity end each
business man surely should need
to use it. The citizens should re-
new their vision when they find
that they are forgetting their
greatest benefactor. Greenville

According to the latest eensus
New York City is the largest city
