'The Now Bunker." This is worthy pf study of every man. banker or not. Hero It is: "I believe no man can be a good i bangor who ls not first a good citi- I teni in ali the term Implies. I believe good citizenship rests on ability and willingness to pull one's own weight, vlth capacity not only for sturdy it-"f-help. but also due r"i?8p,l for the right ?i o?* others." I bi) lev ? thal the loor?? ooluls at which we touch lui mur nature aud human interests, tuc more alive wc become and the longer we stay so. I believo we cannot prosper by ap plying yesterday's methods to today; Lhat each man ts in some measure master of his community's destiny; that good government is a matter of business-not politics; that to assist In all material, moral and spiritual upbuilding is the fundamental of enlightened selfishness. I believe we need more men of every class who will appreciate this, who will stand for something be sides themselves. . I believe in elllcieuey, service and Fraternity; In a close knit communi ty of interests and hopes; In a sane, broad-visioned stand that shall make for the banker-farmer-and the banker-everybody. Some implications of this may be questioned. Vet. it is an excellent creed. If the bunkers of this country, or any other clasB of its citizen?, will regulate their actions by such rules we shall quickly ^onouer the evils which beset UB. No man believes -n fighting harder for a principle than I do. I yield to none in determination to advance the right, as 1 Bee it, so fur as I can.' Yet in my honest opinion the tax payers of Anderson county will make a big mistake to vote for this $750. 000 road tax for Anderson county. We are treading dangerous ground today, our country. I firmly believe will have to war with Mexico, if we were through unhurt in this interna natlonal crisis, it will be due to three things: Tit;, calm honesty of thc president, and good sense and pa triotism of the American people and the watchful, loving care of Him who. watching over Israel, slumbers not nor sleeps. A rare and truthful book could be written upon thc "High cost of living," but what's the use, when the entire? work could be condensed into the one word, "Theft." People steal more nowadays, and more of them are at lt. T can remember the time when men and women valued their friends and acquaintances more for the pleasure of their companionship than for what they could "get out of 'em." In these latter doya you have to be valuable to your acquaintance if you want to retain his real friendship. This may sound cruel nnd harsh to a sensitive nature, and lt ls-but I have long since decided that lying is about the acme of human perfidy-especially when put In print. The truth ls. the entire nation seems to have gone hog wild over the accumulation of mon ey. ' It is tho entire human thought by day and tl:? tlnuous dream by night. What ? considered plain, ordinary theft ..0 years ago, comes under the nahte of shrewdness, sharpness and "business ability" at the present time.

A good way in which tc. make farm ing puy is to encourage and help the women and children on the farm to run some kind of a little Industry which will be both a pleasure and a profit to them: Encourage them .to raise poultry; help them to sell milk, j eggs ami butter; to plant fruit trees. ! grape vines, strawberries and other i useful and money producing crops, .so i they will have a little money of their I own and be niore contented to stay <m I the farm. j Here's to love, a thing so divine, I Description make.; it but the less; ?

I am receiving many inquiries late ly, asking about the advisability of cross-breeding. Of course, we know that the first cross of two pure breeds give us a cross-bred offspring. When we come to breeding together this cross-bred stock, we are left ab* solutely in tho dark as to the knowl edge of what the offspring will be. They evidently will be genuine mon grels or scrub stock. I generally ask these people why they wish to cross breed. They generally say to' improve the breed they have, or some stan dard breed. They evidently think that they can keep all the desirable quali ties of one and add the desirable qualities of another: Not so my friends. In a deal of this kind your chances are of losing something and {gaining nothing. To cross-breed and start a new breed is all right as a pleasure and opportunity to fool away time, but entirely unsatisfactory for a man hoping to make a living out of chickens. -If you desire to .gain no ? toriety take up some ot our older breeds and again bring them into favor.

Private cables reported realizing in a narrow market at Liverpool, and tbe opening was at a decline of 4 td 5 points. Reactionary sentiment also was encouraged by the census report indicating the supply of 1914 linters was a little over 772,000 bales com pared with 631,000 last year, but sel ling waa restricted by continued large spot sales In Liverpool, and the steady ruling Ot southern spot markets late yesterday.

Profit taking from the long side was against prices, bullish trad ers were not aggressive and bears were encouraged by reports of a smaller spot Inquiry in the interior and by the drop of 13 points in local spot quotations.

At the lowest prices were 5 to 8 points un der yesterday's close and at the high est they were 1 point over. The close v/as at the lowest.
