Accidentally Kii.i.i-iv-Ernesi
Small wood, a colored man, was
accidentally killed at the hardwood
null, in town last Thursduy. It
seems they were unloading a car
loa j of logs and in taking the
standards out so the logs cuuld be
taken from the car, one rolled off
catching Smallwood between the
logs, which caused his -death in a
few hours. He was warned not
lo unload the logs so recklessly
; but paid no attention to the warn
I ing of those working with him,

The Year's Crops. The year
1 91 9 is turning out more or less
of a disappointment in its crop pro
duction. Early in the season the
indications were for a bumper crop
iff almost every line, but the final
showing is (hat during the sum
mer the promise of the earlier sea
son has been over taken by dam
aging weather, and the totals are
far below the earlier estimates.
Cotton will not much exceed an
1 1,000,000 bale crop, which is a
million bales below last year, and
last year was not up to the average
of the last five years. The cotton
crop will be one of the smallest in
many years, and unless ihe esti
mates are revised it will be ihe
smallest crop, with about two ex
ceptions since 1903.
The corn crop is larger than
lasl year, but last year's crop was
below the average by 150,000,000
bushels. Wheat instead of ex
ceeding a billion bushels will fall
60,000,000 bushels short of the
billion. Potatoes are less than last
year and less than an average crop
for the last five years. Tobacco
less than last year, but greater
than the crop average. Sweet po
tatoes will be more abundant. Bui
all the crops, with a few insignifi
cant exceptions, will be smaller
than was anticipated at the begin
ning of the season.
New County Home. Mr. G.
. Green has been authorized by
e Board of Coumy Commission
s to purchase 30 acres of land
ing on the Weldon and Halifax
ad for ihe location of the new
lunty home, which is to be erect
1 soon. This new home for ihe
iumy's unfortunate will be mod-
rn in every respoo.
Times Have Changed. Time
was once, and not as long ago, but
what it is in the memory of some
besides "the oldest inhabitant,"
when the "newspaper man" in a
small town was a man of some im
portance and was the recipient of
many courtesies. If an entertain
mem for the church was given a
special invitation was sent the Edi
tor. II a family garnering or a
birthday party was on foot the Ed-,
itor was an appreciated guest Be
sides this many big watermelons. I
waiters of fruit and other good ;
things found their way to the news
paper office. Of course these cour-j
tesies were paid for in printer's i
ink but then it was nice to be re
membered and many friendships,
were begun and continued that
originated in these little mutual
cjurtesies. But times have changed.
In spite of the fact that white pa-1
per and printer's ink have ad- j
vanced in price at a corresponding j
ratio to other things, the town pa
per may print all the local happen
ings, tell who is visiting, who has
company and who they are, give
glowing accounts ol all the mar
riages and long eloquent obituaries
when the dark angel enters me
home and tries lo give a fair and
impartial report of the news in
general, little thanks or notice is
ever wasted on the man who, how
ever poorly it may be done is al
ways- on the )ob and sees that
the paper is out on lime. If some
one is by accident overlooked or
there happens lo be a dearth ot
news there are always some to
criticize and say hard things which
are almost sure to reach the print
er's ears, but as a general thing
ihe good things are nol said and
in the "hand outs," the Editor "is
not in it." We expect lo be crili
cised and know we often make
mistakes but a friendly word or act
helps to make even a newspaper
man feel belter and if you expect
to have any flowers for us w hen
we are gone give us a leaf now
and (hen while we can enjoy it and
don'i spend dollars in floral offer
ings for our bier. If we make a
mistake, come and tell us and we
will try to correct it but do give
your town paper a chance and give
it its proper place in the community,'
BUILT TO HAUL WHERE THE HAULING IS HARDEST
AND TO DO IT WITHOUT INTERRUPTION.
WE selected the Corbiti Worm Drive Motor Trucks to handle because our severest investigation proved
to us that this truck was one thai we could offer as ihe one which most economically and effectively
solved every hauling problem.
The extra strength of all parts subject to wear or strain, the powerful Continental Motor assuring unlin
ited and uninterrupted engine power, and the triple tested high quality standard units used throughout, give
liberal assurance of the ready, steady everyday service for which the Corbiii Trucks have beccme famous
all over the South.
Pay for a Corbitt Motor
Truck while it works for you
Corbiti Trucks are made in six sizes I to 5 tons-and every size is built and engined for overcapacity
bodies and loading and unloading equipment designed to meet the requirements and help you select a model
to fit them.
The price of a Corbiti Truck is likely less than you would expect to pay for a high grade truck with an
established record for uninterrupted service and low operating costs.
Likely you are figuring on bettering your transportation facilities and are thinking of the only worth
while change a Corbiti Motor Truck. By all means, let us talk it over with you and if you are not in a
position to pay all cash we can arrange a deferred payment plan that will make it easy for you to own a
Corbitt. Immediate deliveries.
We have immediate connection with the factory and can supply repair parts without delay. We maintain
a first class service station in charge of competent mechanics.

Thanks. Since being once
more settled in our home in which
the fire occurred April 26. we feel
that we wish in this way to express
our inere thnk and apprecia
tion for the many kindnesses
shown us since that time, although
it has been four months of severe
strain, hard work, and many in
conveniences Our friends have
been more than kind, and we wish
we could take each one by the
hand and tell them how much their
kind thoughtfulness is appreciated
and how much it meant to us.
This we cannot do, but we can let
them know thai we are not un
grateful and their kindness has
helped in many ways. We trust
that in some way we may return
this kindness in a substantial way,
but for the present, we would say,
we thank you all.
Mrs. Ida Wilkins,
Miss Laura Powers.
May Be Yours For the Tak
ing Did you ever stop to think
thai all the best things in life come
without cost to ourselves? They
are given freely. The things that
in their value are without money
and beyond price are also in the
method of their acquisition with
out money and without price. Ev
ery life is rich in the measure that
ii has discovered and possessed
these treasures. A man may pay
many thousands of dollars for the
painting of a sunrise, and yet it
never will be nearly so beautiful,
so inspiring, so valuable as the
sunrise itself, a spectacle which the
poorest may enjoy without the ex
penditure of so much as a cent.
All our works of art, costly as they
may be, are but imitatiois of the
originals, which, while far exceed
ing them in beauty, may be ours
for the taking.
Every farmer and business man
who is interested in the success of
the L.nlllin Attnririlinn unri uhn I
wants to know what the association ' imngs '" nrdi;r-
has been doing to get iheorganiza
tion perfected, is requested to at
tend the meeting at the court house
Thursday, September 1 8th. at 1 1
o'clock a. in. Everybody should
remember thai the success of this
movement depends on the support
given by the farmer and business
man. All commercial interests
I have their organizations for im
I proving their business, while the
i farmer as a whole is less organ-
ized than any class of people. Our
i success lies in successful organiza
tion and co-operation. I he aim ol
the Cotton Association is to perfect
plans whereby the farmer can se
cure belter prices for his cotton.
Every one is interested in this, and
so all who can, be present at the
meeting on the lath.

What Do" You Want With
Money. It's ten thousand times
harder to be generous. It is easy
enough to give a poor woman a
dollar, but when it comes to follow
ing a straight line, being just in all
things, just to uod, just to your
family, just lo your children, just
to all men, u is a different thing.
Some men are never just to their
wives. 1 hey pay their cook $5
very willingly Saturday night, but
when the hard-working, economi
cal, painstaking wife asks for a lit
tie money on Monday he will say.
Oh, wife, what do you want with
money ?
Nothing jars a man so much as
the discovery that he has married
a woman who delights in coming
down to his office and putting
