economy.
It is to be regretted that so
many people spend all they earn
and that some go in debt and
spend all they can get credit for
besides what they earn. Every
man should think of the future
and have some plans to prepare
for it. .No country can have per
manent prosperity whose people
spend and use everything within
their reach. It should never be
forgotten that old age is coming
and that hard times may come.
Every man who makes anything
should try to lay by something
for a "rainy day."
Some think because they can
not save large amounts it is use
less to try to save anything.
They overlook the fact that the
men who are now making money
fast at first started in a small
way and perhaps moved slowly
for a long time. Fortunes are
usually not made by great
strokes but by following good
business methods month after
month and year after year.
The man who spends every
thing is dependant and often
helpless. Solomon says "The
borrower is servaut to the
lender" and it is well to remem
ber it as many have been forced
to realize its full meaning. Every
man should strive to do his best
in life. The tenant should try to
become a laud owner, the carpen
ter to become a contractor, the
clerk to become a merchant and
the employe in the shop to be
come the proprietor of a shop.
Economy with industrv brings .
these things to pass.
"Take care of the cents and the
dollars will take care of them
selves." Take care of time as
well as money. Make the min
utes hours and days count for
sotfiething in advancement and
when the years have passed it
will be seen that much has been
accomplished. We want to see
our people more economical than
are some of them that we urny
increase in wealth aud get our
full share of the prosperity en
joyed by so many at this time.
TOBACCO.
With the exception of one year
in several years past most farm
ere have made money on tobac
co and it has brought inauy
thousands of dollars to J ohnstou
county. While prices have not
been anywhere near what they
should have been, considering
the worlds demands yet we be
lieve the warehousemen have
doue all they could for good
prices and there has been a mar
gin of prollt to the farmers.
The acreage in this section has
been increased for the present
year. We think this is as it
should be. Ibis not best for
larrners to depend on cotton al
together as a money crop and
besides much of the land in the
county is better suited for to
bacco thau forcotton. The recent
rains have put the laud in fine
condition to set plants. There
is here and there a farmer who
has land laid off for tobacco but
has no plants. We do not think
this should cause any change of
plans as there are no doubt
plants which could be bought
cheap to set all the land intend,
ed for tobacco. It is to be hoped
that good crops will be made
and that good prices will prevail.
DEMOCRACY IN TOWNS.
Years ago the people of Smith
Held had a habit of ignoring poli
tics so far as town government
was concerned. In course of time
we learned better and now we
govern the town as we do the
county and state through 1 leinoc
racy and it works better. In
reading the papers we see that a
number of towns over t he state
are this spring in their conven
tions una elections leaving poli
tics out of consideration. From
our way of looking at things
they are making a mistake. Do
the Democrats of these towns
mean to say to the Republicans
that after Democracy has given
such splendid government to the
state and counties and cities that
it will not do for the towns? If
young men are asked to vote for
Republicans in towns will they
not after awhile conclude that it
is all right to vote for them for
county and state offices. We
take the position that if Democ
racy is good in state and county
government it should apply to
towns also.
"Of course, the thirty-seven
large dogs Walter Wellman will
take with him to the pole will eat
a lot of provisions on the way,
but Walter can get even later by
eating the dogs."
To Prevent Reduction.
Richmond, Ya , Mays ? United
States Circuit Judge I'ritchard
tonight granted an injunction
and restraining order in the suit
of the Southern Railway Com
pany aguiijHt the clerk and mem
bers of the corporation commis
sion of Virginia, thereby prevent
ing them from publishing their
order putting the two cent pas
senger rate in effect in this State.
The hill is made returnable be
fore Judge I'ritchard in Asheville,
N. C., on June 27.
At the same timeJudge i'ritch
ard granted a similar order in
the suit of the Southern Railway
[Company against members of
the corporation commission, the
Attorney (ieneral and the assis
tant at torney general of North
Carolina in the same way re
straining those officials from
publishing and putting into effect
the new law providing for a pas
seuger rate of two and one ipiar
ter cents. The North Carolina
bill is returnable before Judge
I'ritchard in Asheville on June
2<>. The North Carolina suit re- ]
fere to both passenger and freight
rates.
While this matter is thus
brought to a head by the South
ern road it is said upon what
seems to be high authority that
all other transportation com
panies affected will come in as
parties.
The Herald.
We suppose it is now generally
known that Mr. T. J. Lassiter
tias accepted a position with the
Mutual Publishing Company,
Raleigh, N. C. He left Smithtield
last Tuesday morning to begin
work with them. He has been in
Thk Hkhald office eleven yeare,
and the only reason he leaves it
is that he thinks tie has larger
opportunities and can make
more money in Raleigh. Nobody
else can regret his leaving so
much as his partners. At present
he will not sell his third interest
in the paper and it is still run
ning in the same tirm name.
Whether there will be any changes
iu the tirm any time soon or not
we cannot say now but we can
assure our subscnoers and
patrons that the business will
continue to be run as heretofore
and The Herald will make its
weekly visits. The proprietors
of The Herald have advocated
what they believe to lie for the
best interest of the people. We .
thank all who have stood by us
and ask those who are willing to ;
do so to continue their patron- j
age.
