Holvard Payne College.
The South is giving more and more attention to
her educational institutions, and The Golden Age
takes pleasure in occasionally giving Its readers an
account of the work and progress of particular
schools—not as advertisement of the school, but
that our readers may learn from the citation of
particular work, the spirit that is abroad in our
country. This week we take pleasure in telling of
the work and progress of a school in what was
once spoken of as western Texas, but which has
now become, as the result of the westward move
ment of population in the Lone Star State, central
Texas. We refer to Howard-Payne College, which
is located in that delightful and growing and thriv
ing city just below the panhandle section —Brown-
wood.
Brownwood itself is located about midway be
tween Ft. Worth and San Angelo, in that section
of the state which is noted for its salubrious and
health-giving and health-restoring climate. Be
cause of health conditions and the breaking up of
large cattle ranches into small farms, these farms
being thrown on the market, this portion of Texas
is rapidly filling with a very fine class of people—
people who are calculated to advance all interests
which go to make up a superior civilization. Os
course, a people of this class will not neglect the
educational interests of their offspring, and, conse
quently, we find them erecting magnificent build
ings for their schools, and placing the emphasis
upon scholarship.
Howard-Payne is among the best schools of its
class in the great and growing state of Texas. It
is a part of the system of correlated schools of the
Baptist denomination of that great state, this sys
tem of correlation having met with the approval
of many leading educators of every section, and
it is to the credit of the great state of Texas that
she is alive to her sense of duty and opportunity
in the field of education.
That the people appreciate the work of Howard-
Payne is attested to by their patronage. The at
tendance at this institution the year just closed was
359, and the number of graduates was the largest
in the history of the institution, that number, in all
departments, being thirty.
This institution has also won some signal victo
ries this year in the field of oratory and debate. It
has been the good fortune of Howard this year to
win in every oratorical contest entered. In the
state contest, which was at Greenville, the repre
sentative of Howard-Payne won over eight of the
representative colleges and universities of the state.
This distinction made it the duty of the successful
speaker to represent the state of Texas in the inter
state contest which was held in the month of May
at Wichita, Kan. To this contest he went and
easily carried off the victory over the representa
tives of eight other western states. This victory
entitles Howard-Payne to representation in the
Prohibition Oratorical contest to be held next year
at Chicago, HL, and it is confidently believed that
her representative, who has been signally suc
cessful this year, will win in the great national con-

In God’s eyes, royal greatness
And true nobility
Consist in doing duty
And acting faithfully.
He never seeks the fruitage,
Requires no success;
His finger points to duty
Demanding faithfulness.

Though life be sweet to me,
’Tis not my chiefest duty,
But I must faithful be. —E. P. M.

At a dinner in Lincoln, Neb., William Jennings
Bryan, according to the Indianapolis Star, talked
of London.
“London,” said Mr. Bryan, “is undoubtedly the
smartest city in the world. One sees nowhere else
such’ elegance as in the fashionable London restau
rants, the theaters and the parks.
“English ladies always wear decollete gowns at
restaurant dinners and at the theater. Our Ameri
can ladies are readily to be distinguished at those
places by their modest high-necked gowns.
“I was discussing this matter one evening with
an Englishman, and he told me a story.
“He said that he once gave a dinner in honor of
a famous missionary from the South Seas, and sev
eral of the more beautiful of the ladies among his
guests wore gowns that were rather outrageous.
• “Afterward, in the smoking room, the host felt
it his duty to apologize for those ladies.
“ 4 Their gowns,’ he said, ‘may have struck you
as somewhat immodest, sir; but I assure you that
no immodesty was intended. It is the fashion here
in London, that is all.’
“ ‘Oh, don’t apologize!’ said the missionary. ‘lt
hasn’t affected me in the least. You forget that
I have lived eight years among the savages.’ ’ —

The Story of Success.
Some font years ago a number of prominent bus
iness men of Atlanta organized a company for the
purpose of dealing in real estate ard investments.
They saw the wonderful possibilities of such a com
pany with ample capital able to pick up bargains
and thus by buying, building and selling at the right
time realize handsome profits.
They knew the big returns that renting proper
ty in Atlanta brings, if properly managed. It can
be seen that their judgment was correct, as the Em
pire Investment Co. has paid in dividends to stock
holders more money in four years than w*as origi
nally actually invested, has a handsome surplus and
not a share of stock is for sale.
Seeing the phenomenal success of *he Empire In
vestment Co., some of the stockholders with a num
ber of their friends, including prominent bankers of
Atlanta, organized the Mutual Investment Co., and
requested the same men who had so ably managed
the Empire Investment Co., to head their company.
This was in April of this year. Today, six
months after starting, the Mutual Investment Co.
owns property in Atlanta to the value of over
$63,000.00, a profit of over 33 1-3 per cent on the
money invested. It was found that although the
returns were enormous the best results could not be
gotten without larger capital, and therefore the
stockholders decided to increase the Capital Stock
from $42,000.00 to $500,000.00. This will neces
sitate the selling of not more than $458,000.00 pf
stock, a large part of which has been taken by
the present stockholders in the company. New stock
owners share in all earnings of the company and
in all dividends declared on past earnings as well.
Each share has a par value of SIO.OO and the com
pany reserves the light to close the books at any
time and refuse to accept any more subscriptions.
This stock carries with it no stockholder’s libail
ity.
In placing your money in sue ha company you
have the advantage of the years of experience of
the men at its head. They have never known what
failure is and the success of any company man
aged by them is assured.
It you are not satisfied with the returns you are
getting on your money now, if you have a little
money, no matter how small an amount it is and
’would like to see it double in a few years, write
to the Mutual Investment Co., Atlanta, Ga., for
their prospectus. In so doing you do not obligate
yourself in any way, it is understood that you
merely want to see how’ it is possible to make more
than the usual 5,6, and 7 per cent. Your money is
safe —not a share of the original stock of this
company is on the market today, except at a price
far above the purchase cost, and in many similar
companies, notably the Empire Investment Co., not
a share can be bought.
