made dry by petition, leaving only
23 wet counties. The returns from

against it.

state showed a majority of 1,958
against license. This majority
was increased to 14,278 in the re

cense and 30 against it, with a to
tal majority of 8,543 for license.

gained one county, 44 voting for
license and 31 against it, the ran
jcrity for license being 3,010.

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH
One of the many causes of the
great prosperity in the South is
shown from a statement of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor,
that during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1006, the value of raw
cotton exported was four hundred
and one million dollars and of man
ufactured cotton fifty three million
dollars.
Ten years ago the value of raw
cotton exported was one hundred
and ninety million dollars and of
manufactured cotton seventeen
million dollars. The increase in
ten years of the value af raw and
manufactured cotton exported be
ing, in roimd numbers, two hun
dred and forty sexen million dol
lars.
The vast increase in value is
from export cotton alone. When
to this is added the increase from
sales to American spinners, we
have an aggregate increase diffi
cult to realize.
The increase in the wealth of
the South does not come from cot
ton alone, and its coal and iron, its
rice and sugar, its tobacco and hay,
its cattle and hogs, its horses and
mules, its zinc and lead, its fruit
and vegetables, its lumber and oil
are all adding to the wealth of the
Southern people in a volume so
great that the South and South
west are leading in the nation’s1
prosperity and will soon be the
wealthiest section of the United
States. Home and Farm.

DON’T BE A CRITIC
It is impossible to get along well
anywhere in this world unless you
are prepared to make large allow
ance for the infirmities of your
fellow men. None of us are per
fect, and the best of Us “have this
treasure in earthen vessels.’’ It
is well to have a high ideal both
for yourself and your fellows. En
force the ideal upon yourself by
ill your powers. Hold it up also
for your fellows as best you may,
but beware of nagging them, for
it is easily possible thus to add to
the burdens which they bear.
Above all, avoid the habit of crit
icising, for you may easily become
a butcher occupying yourself with
dissecting human character.—Ar
kansas Methodist.

BRAIN LEAKS.
(From Bryan’s Commoner:)
Crooked politics means crooked !
morals.
Duty done for duty’s sake is I
self rewarding.
Heal religion needs no brass
band accompaniment.
A few careless directors of fi-j
nancial institutions lodged in jail
might help some.
Every one of us would be a
great success if we could run our
own business as well as we think |
we could run the other fellows bus- i
iness.
It is better to have the husband
away a part of the time and anx
ious to get home, than to have him
at home most of the time and al
ways anxious to get away.

CONTROL YOUR CHILD
*
The lack of parental control ov
er children is one of the greatest
dangers which confronts the youth
of this country today. A child is
naturally a barbarian and a tyrant
and if not controlled by wisdom
greater than their own until they #
acquire intelligence enough to con- -
trol themselves they form habits
of idleness and disobedience which
will give themselves and others a
great deal of trouble—Monroe
County Citizen.
