FRIDAY. DECEMBER d, 1904.
The person who sends away to
some mail order house for shoddy
goods and pays as much as he
would have to pay a home mer
chant for good goods is a mighty
near-sighted citizen. The home
merchants help support the town
and country and they deserve all
the ’' ail trade.
and vacation cost as much as tax
es, or as much as religion, books
and magi/.ines combined. Sick
ness and death about equal the
cost of tobacco and liquor. fbu*
may well ask if such a chart ex
hibits a very high degree of civil
ization. _________ *
The people of Lake City have
encouraged the promoters ol the j
running factory there and nearly
all the stock has been taken. Sev
eral thousand dollars have been
raised anti only four shares remain

$100 each. The stockholders are
all citizens of Lake City.
There has been more cotton
marketed in Newark this fall than
ever before in one season, and
some of it has come from a great
er distance than ever betore. 1 he
producer always seeks the best
market for his products; that ex
plains why so much more cotton
is being sold here than in former:
years.__
In a personal letter to the edi
tor, Senator John A. Hinkle says, |
“I have no special measures to in
troduce in the next legislature, hut
there is some state legislation!
which 1 shall strongly favor,
among which is a reform school
for youthful criminals. Our road
law, in my opinion, is about as)
good as we can get it, and needs
but little changing; school laws,
the same. 1 am opposed to the
segregation of the school taxes, for
the reason that 1 look upon the j
negro as a necessary evil in the :
South. They are satisfied with
but little, but to take their schools
from them entirely would be to
run them out." The Journal
heartily agrees with Senator IIin
kle in regard to the reform school.
The state is badly in need of such
an institution, and we hope to see
the next legislature make the nec
essary provisions for its establish
ment.
Nearly every fanner in this part
part of the country has made a
better crop than he expected to
make when he began gathering.
Cotton and corn have both brought
good prices, and the people gen
erally are in the most prosperous
financial condition ever known in
the history of the country.
From reports of 2,567 fatuities
an interesting table has been pre
pared by the Bureau of Labor,
showing the average expenditure
per family in all parts of the 1
nited States for the year 1901.
Food and rent are the most ex
pensive items; clothing for the hus
band costs more than for the
wife; five times as much is spent
for intoxicating liquors as for
charity; tobacco costs one third
more than religion; amusements
