The. late! j nesa of the season can lie' found L. looking at the government ginning report as compared with last year The figures of last week showed that 297 hales of cotton were ginned in Cleveland county from the crop of 1940 pi'ior to September, 16. us compared to 13,140 hales for the crop of 1939 at that same time. This does not indicate a short crop in this county hut a late crop. In this immediate section the crop will ho , gathered in two pickings. And oth er crops are Rood. Corn, hay and grain, if the price holds or goes up the season will he considered a good one by most farmers. ARE YOU A PACK RAT? When it comes to accumulationof useless odds and ends which ar< found in .prolusion 'in muny homes, here's an - excellent motto: ''Burn the junk up before it burns you up! A good many' of us have ehara<_ teristics of the'pack rat. We hate to throw anything away. Old clothes old magazines, old furniture, even' old newspapers .? all go into infor tnal storage in attic or basemerit oi coset. Tpiey may stay there foi years, collecting dust and mold, with nothing dangerous happening Again, they may not ? fire, whict feeds on such accumulations, may find them. And then all your possessions, no less than the junk, may go up in smoke. Perhaps your home is free of such dangers. If it is, it is very much the exception. The chances are that ha/, ards exist of which you know noth ipg ? hazards that can be easiD eliminated once discovered. Look for them now. Don't put it off until tomorrow ? - for tomorrow could be too late. Fire can strike tonignt as easily as next week or next year. THIS FLAG OF OURS In these present days of universal chaos, an ever-increasing number of Americans cling to the flag of this country in the belief that it is the only guarantee of human wel fare and human dignity in a world beset by dark and evil forces. At such a time, it is particularly appropriate to envision what the tlag might say to the citizens of the United States if it were suldenlv gifted with a voice. A. W. Hawkes, President of Congoleum-Nairn, Inc., did just that recently in the follow- i ing stirring words, which need no ] further comment: "I, as your flag, represent true democracy in the representative form, 1 am only 163 years old, out before I took form and became a reality, millions of people throughout the. world had given up their uve? trying 10 give me Dirin. "If you woufd not fail me, you will preserve me in what I represent for you and those to follow. Your work In preserving me is only the fulfillment of your obligation to principle and justice and those who created me for you. They gave to yon. through me, liberty and free, dom and the opportunity for Individ unl accomplishment ? fair reward for services and the protection of the law in the rightful enjoyment of property lef&lly acquired. "i leave yon with this' thought: I. your flag, will mean Just what you make nte mean. T will stand for you ^!tI ' " ' * - 1 n T1 Here and There . . Haywood E. Lynch) Something very important happen ed to me 31 years ago yesterday. I was born. There always has to be a first tipie, and I met a lady doctor for the first_ time, Tuesday. Dr. Dorothy Norman, daughter of Dr. ana Mrs. J. S. Norman, administered the anaesthetics to< Little Lbssie Lynch, for the removal of her tonsils. I have just heard of another former Kin^s Moujrtajn Band member who accompanied her coftege band on the first trip. So the boys are not the only ones to make good showings as musician alumni of K. M.

J. was an excellent conversatios-.list, and I -believe that he went out to his farm across Nebo bridge and ;alked that cotton into producing the most bdu'ntifUl crop I have evei i,een. According to authorities 12 boils of cotton on each stalk planted 12 inches apart will make a bale of cotton to the acre. 'We found sev oral stalkes with 35 and 40 bolls and one stalk with 69 bolls. And the best part of it is that the whole field of 19 1-2 acres was the same way. It's worth anyone's time to drive out and see the prettiest field in this part, of the country. , I am beginning to feel right military. I've got to register Wednesday.

"May you never forget your obligation in return for your privileges ?and remember; I shall be w*?h you always, if you make me stay." PARTY LINES BREAKING DOWN The fact that party lines are being broken down, and tbe independent vote becoming more important in swinging elections is, causing much newspaper comment and spec ilations as to what the future may hold (or the two major parties in national elections. There are liberal democrats and( liberal republicans, and there are old line conservatives in both parties.: The labor vote, the farm vote, ihe dry vote, or the old age pension vote cannot be said to be aligned ir revocably with tbe democrats or re publicans. Many things have happen' nd in recent years to convince people in all walks of life' that to vote blindlv and follow the lead of either niajoi party Is not always to the best interest of the class which the votgr comes from. This does not hold true in the South so much as it does in other parts of the country. ? The electorate is becoming more independent lu thought and action iu most states, aa aa a matter of tact the two major parties find mef. ulna both sides of the ^political fence .working and voting as independents rather than aa adherenta to the democratic or republican cause. It is all becoming rathef confusing.... in truth things are all mixed up. The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News com, inenting of the political mix up has the folloying to say: A Democratic administration has x cabinet composed of Republicans ffX-Republlcans. Socialists and a cou pie of real Democrats. The Republicans nominate an exDemocrat who went Republican in 1M8. Some Arkansas Democrats form a "Wendell Wilkle Club." Gadsden, Ala., invites Wilkle to open his Southern Republican campaign in that Democratic city.. Things are all mixed up. Seems ".ko the Democratic dopkey ' has been bred to the Republican elephant and the progeny makes Jackasses out of those who still believe In party labels.?Aiken Standard and Review.
