A well-known citizen of Monroe
bon kIi some cotton for 34 cents yes
terday which he will hold for higher
prices. believiiiK that it will no to
cents in a few wetks. Another busi
ness man was heard to remark: "If
I was a gambling man I'd buy up all
the cotton I could get at "4 cents a
pound. The staple is going to forty
cents a pound in a short while, and
every mini who sells at prevailing
prices does so at a big loss." If the
average farmer, who raises cotton,
felt this way about it, Wannatnaker's
dream of 50-cent cotton would soon
be realized. A local bank president
is also quoted as saying that farm
ers of Union county will lose $2. ('.
(.00 by disposing of their cotton tin
ker thirty-five cents. Whether you
agree with these sentiments or not.
come to Monroe Saturday, Oct. IS,
and hear the question threshed out.
One likes to hear of forty and fifty
cent cotton even if he never hopes to
get that much for what he raises.
nday. Oct. 27, is the day for
ev me to turn their clocks back an
hou.-. The daylight savings law dies
a natural death on that day. and
Deacon Doster's confidence in "oli
time" will be justified. The Deacon
refused to turn his clock hands up an
hour when the law went into effect
two years ago. and has been an hour
behind other folks' time ever since.

That's how- the world overcomes;
1 the prosperous man. What has he;
with which to ccnibat the world be-;
fore it gets the belter of him for all
time? "EVEN 01" U KA1TH " But if
he has lost that faith while getting
i possessed of his prosperity, what !
then? The only power that can over- 1
come the world is "Wha'soever is,
born of God". One must have his i
help for the ficht. But God cannot
help one who does not believe that j
He can. t
What can our prosperous man who ;
has los' faith do? If he would live
rei.lly he must get it bark. He must
realize first of ail that thtte are ,
things hither and better than the I
things ho has spent his days working
for. Then he must wish for the faith
really, truly he must long for it its , ...A
the dearest wish of his heart. '-'Xt!

there. The man that longs for faith
as eagerly as ever he longtd for hi
wealth, and that is willing to saen
iice as much for it as he did sacrifiet
for his money, even to the point o!
giving up part or the whole of his
worldly means for the sake of th
faith, is going to go' i'. Something
