Bond Issues Not Popular
lOUt
The people generally through
the state are noting the cause of
existing high taxes, and are refusing
to vote additional bond issues upon
themselves either for road or edu
cational purposes.
Most counties are loaded already
with bond obligations end voters
are writhing under the tax imposed
to meet accruing interest, to say
nothing of the time when the bonds
themselves must be liquidated,
Good roads and good schools are
the basic essentials in which the
happiness of a people and its pos
perity is founded.
In providing good road3 and good
schools the present generation must
take eare not to wreck its own for
tunes nor handicap the fortunes of
the generation that is to succeed it.
It would appear wise then in
every case where additional bonds
are proposed for the people to vote
upon themselves for these purposes
that prudeuce would suggest that
obligations can be imposed to such
extent as to eventuate in bank
ruptcy. A bankrupt people cannot
be happy. To be happy, a people
must be prosperous, and to be pros
perous no people must owe more
than they can reasonably pay.
It is reported that the Vardaman
opposition is not satisfied with the
candidacy of Stephens for the Sen
ate; and that is one of the main
reasons why Hi Henry took upon
himself the calling of a meeting of
his brand of democrats to endorse
Stephens, as the announcement of
Stephens' candidacy created no en
thusiasm whatever, and unless
there is some kind of an organiza
tion behind him he would soon
realize the hopelessness of his can
didacy. Coast Beacon.
Other Officers Invited
To Make Reports
According to the statement of J.
B. Lewis, sheriff, published else
where in this paper, the fees, com
missions and other emoluments
collected by the sheriff and turned
nto the county treasury for the
fiscal year 1920 exceeded the sala
ries paid to the sheriff and all his
deputies for that year by 2, 190.69.
In other words, if the office had
been conducted under the fee sys
tem instead of the salary law. the
sheriff and his deputies would have
received S2.190.69 more than they
did. This is a good showing for
the sheriff's office. It is now in or
der that the chancery and circuit
clerk, the board of supervisors and
superintendent of education make
similar reports so that the people
may be able to pass upon the rela
tive merits of the fee system and
the salary law. It would be im
possible for them to do this intel
ligently unless they had data that
would furnish the comparative ex
pense of conducting all county of
fices under the two systems.
The Weekly would be glad to
publish such reports from the of
fices above cited.
Not to Manipulate Markets '
Farmers are not organizing for
the purpose of setting the prices of
their cotton, tobacco, or other pro
ducts. Farmers cannot compel the
world to pay any price they may
fix for their products. They could
not do this if they wanted to and
they ought not to do it if they
could, But while farmers are not
organizing to fix unreasonable prices
or to control the market regardless
of supply and demand, and it
would not be right for them to do
so if they could, they are organ
izing to prevent others from con
trolling the market. This is right
and can be done if the farmers be
come sufficiently organized. Farm
ers are not organizing to manipu
late the markets for their produce
regardless of supply and demand,
but to prevent others from doing

Salary Law Saves
Taxpayers Money
Aberdeen, Sept. 13.
To the Taxpayers Monroe County:
I have just closed the tax collec
tion for the fiscal year 1920, and
am today making my final report
to the state auditor as requiren by
law.
In checking up the tax rolls I
find that the total assessed valua
tion of the county is $12,155,001.
I have collected the taxes on $11,
893,422. leaving a balance of 261,
579 valuation uncollectable, which
makes approximately a 98 per cent
collection.
I also beg leave to state for the
information of the public that the
final accounting for the fees and
commissions and other emoluments
of this office, under the fee system,
the sheriff pocketed; but is now,
under the salary system, paid into
the county treasury from which the
county officers' salaries are drawn,
will exceed the salaries of myself,
deputies and special help during
the tax collecting season by ap
proximately 82,190 69, which con
stitutes a saving to the taxpayers
of the county of that amount.
I herewith desire to thank the
people of Monroe county for their
patient indulgence and valuable as
sistance through such a strenuous
tax collection.
I also desire to thank the citizens
of the county and particularly the
ladies for the valuable assistance
rendered me in running down law
violators and keeping crime at a
low ebb, and respectfully ask that.
if possible, to redouble your efforts
in that respect and continue to
give me your assistance.
Respectfully,
J. B. Lewis,
Sheriff of Monroe County.

"Toleration in politics is not
only right, but it is a good asset.
Because a man differs from you is
no reason why he is your enemy.
He may be as honest in his con
victions as yon are in yours. It is
mere matter of seeing things from
different angles. Open minded
men rarery fall out over honest dif
ferences. They may work together
for the good of the state or county
on other matters, while opposing
each other on some one thing.
And besides it is always well to
remember that while we may
be partisans before the .primaries,
we should he patriots thereafter and
give lo3al support to the officers so
long as they try to do right, wheth
er they were our choice or not.
The farsighted politician never of
fends those who honestly oppose
him; he realizes that his adversary
in one primary majT be his ally in
the next."
Unlawful to Kill Doves.
Warning has been sent out from
Jackson that it is unlawful to kill
doves. Violators are liable to in
dictment by the Federal grand juries
. here is a State law that permits
the killing of doves from August 1st
to March let, but the Federal law,
which prohibits their being killed at
any time, is supreme.

Back to Stock Keeping" is the
banner that should be flung across
every highway and byway this fall
in every southern state, and any
procession organized to march be
hind that should be headed by the
Duroc hog. Anybody who has any
real familiarity with the makine of
the corn belt knows that the hog
has been the biggest single factor
in'farm progress. There is profit
in feeding cheap grain to hoes
worth from 87.00 to $9.00 per cwt,
A considerable slump can take
place and still leave the grower of
good hog9 a profit on his corn crop,
and the three billion yield of 1921,
now promised, ensures an abund
ance of low-priced feed for fall and
winter operations.
The red hog is the most effective
prosperity booster on the United
States map today. He is growing
and gaining while his owner is
asleep or busy on his daily rounds.
He never stops, and every pound
he is putting on this yjar, spells
profit. Corn and hogs and dairy
cattle is the winning combination
of the hour and tne money which is
being put In the farm purse by it is
the money that will sooner or later
turn the wheels of factories now
idle. Cotton growing as a business
may be alright under certain cir
cumstances just as growing a
sheep for its fleece alone may be
economically sound upon certain
lands not adapted to ordinary hus
bandry. We can remember well
when southern Minnesota was a
great wheat country. It did not
come into its own great wealth,
however, until wheat production as
a specialty was pushed out to the
newer north and west and diversi
fied farming substituted. We have
no quarrel with either wheat grow
ing or cotton planting, but we hope
to see the day when our soils will
be rationally and regularly fed by
the heavy manuring that goes with
stock keeping. If we are to farm
for the next 75 years as we have
farmed for the last 75 years, our
great southland, which ought to be
the garden spot of America, will be
dotted with abandoned farms and
civilization will be in its decline.
We have got to work for better and
more permanent agriculture, and
whenever you go in the different
countries, you will find the best
agriculture, the largest prosperity,
where you find the best live stock,
you will find the most fertile farms
where. you find the most live stock.
Now is the ideal time to get a
few well bred Duroc-Jersey hogs.

Sec. State Duroc-Jersey Breeders'
Association.

Smile and Dont be a Grouch
Sugarman's Indicator says: A
long face never earned a penny!
And a grouch never helped a hu
man being. You can afford a smile
even if you do not feel like it. A
smile does not cost 'yon anything,
yet it has a business value. The
chap who ducks up smiling when
everybody is pulling fong face9 is
the chap you want to do business
with.
The grouch only hegets grouches
and grouchers. Lookout that you
are not infected by the grouch. His
poison is more dangerous than bol
shevism, mosquitoe'a and fake
"hootch" combined.
Smile when you mean it, and
smile when you don't, and keep
right on with a cheerful mug. It
is eood business, It helps your
digestion. And it makes you wel-'
come everywhere.
