many reckless drivers on Hi, pi i
highway: it is dangerous to travel by
auto, hut there are hundreds of thou¬
sands of people who take the risk dai¬
ly. There are also quite a number of
tragedies daily. When we finally have
concrete highways and the speeders
<an fairly flyover the smooth surfaces
ihe number of accidents will .steadi¬
ly increase until all of the fool are
killed; Hut there will he another crop
coming on all the time.
PROGRESSIVE EDUU \ ITON
As Bacon says, < ■ Studies serve for
delight, for ornament and for ability.
Their chief use for delight, is in pri
vate nnd retiring: for ornament, is for
discourse; and for ability, is in the
judgment and disposition of business;
for expert men can execute, and per
Imps judge of partjculars, one by one;
hut the gene ■nil counsels and the plots
and marshaling of affairs come best
from those that are learned."
The youth of today has unbounded
opportunities of acquiring an eduea
tion Uest suited to his abilities and
liking. For education has so progress¬
ed thul he lias unlimited possibilities
offered him in his chosen line of work.
Education hus for its aim today the
development of the powers of an indi¬
vidual by development each along its
own peculiar line.
Our schools and colleges of the pres¬
ent, offer splendid training in all
special courses; as in law, medicine,
mechanics, agriculture, forestry and
athletics, as well as languages, music
a nd art. In fact, one may fit himself
for any vocation he sees fit to follow.
<> Reading maketh a full man; con¬
ference a ready man; and writing an
exact man; and, therefore, if a man
write little, he had need have a great
memory; if he confer little, lie had
need huve a present wit; and il he read
little, he need have much cunning, to
seem to know that he doth not. Histo
iea make men wise; poets, witty; the
mathematics, subtile; natural philoso
phy, deep; moral, grave; logic, and
rhetoric, able to contend.
Failure is want of knowledge, sue
cess is knowing how. An educated
mind is one fulty awakened to all
sights and scenes and forces in the
world, through which he moves, and
no age has offered greater opportuni
ty to the youth of the country, than
eru in which we live,
BUILDING UI* GEORGIA LAND
The Central of Georgia Agricultural
Department has for some time past
been advocating the use of hairy vetch
and other legumes for restoring ferti
tity to the soil, and is conducting a
test field on Mr. Louis Smisson’s farm
four miles west of Fort Valley.
Tlierc are several acres of vetch
planted and staked off in plots of three
fields with a check field in each plot.
In the first and second plots vetch is
planted i.i and . the .. third , plot - . is . planted . . ,
in vetch and oats and in each check
plot of each field, one acre, there is
no vetch. The vetch is to be turned un
der and cotton and corn are to be
planted on each plot, on the check
plot no fertilizer will be used. On the
plots where vetch is planted no ferti
lizer will be used and it is said the
(and where the vetch is turned ffmler
will yield more corn per acre than
that where fertilizer is used.
The main idea is to restore the for
tility of the soil and make it as respon
sive in the production of crops as the
famous . u new grounds , „ of , the past cen
tury, which are no longer available be
cause nearly all of the land has been
cleared of timber. Georgia soil can be
made just as productive ns the famous
prairie sections of central Alabama
northern | Mississippi and Arkansas
an! central . ^ Texas and , agriculture . , can
be made u paying proposition instead
of a burden and debt. The same
methods that have proven so succes
ful with other farmers should be a
dopted on every farm in Peach county.

forinnes often have' been found he

MADAM GOSSIP
From I he Grecnsbora Herald-Journal
We haven’t been in any sort of
meanness that has leaked out on us,
but desire to take a shot at “Madam
Gossip. The old lady will always
speak easy and gossip about all kinds
of things that do not concern her.
cjp,c has war and hell backed up in a
corner yelling for ice water. Really,
gossip is a humming bird with
really gossip is a humming bird with
eagle wings and a voice like a fog
horn. It can he heard from Genesis
to Revelations and from Dan to tier
sheba; and has caused more trouble
ban all the bed bugs, ticks, fleas, mos¬
quitoes, gnats, grasshoppers, boll wee
vils, rattlesnakes, sharks, sore toes
smallpox, yellow fever, gout and inde
goHtion than this dear old world has
ever known or will ever know when
the universe shuts up shop and begins
the final stocktaking.
Yes, old “Madam Gossip” delights
to roll nder her tongue as a sweet
nqojyrT anything in God’s world thal
somi , p 00l - unfortunate man or woman
happens to do. There is jio chariety
extended, hut she demands, that all
the world must know.
But, let something happen to the
gossiper -the chronic scandal mon
ger or some one that is very dear to
them. She is then as quiet as a mouse
and as innocent looking as a baby
lamb.
A very good religion to practice
m the .following verse, incorporated
in Pope's universal prayer:
“Teach me to feel another’s woe,
To hide the faults I see;
To others mercy show—
That mercy show to me.”
EVERY YOUNG MAN SHOULD
HAVE A JOB
The Dawson News urges every
'young man to obtain a job of some
kind. Even if one cannot get the kind
he would prefer it is better for him
t() something else than to be idle,
in the opinion of the News, and it is.
The News says:
Every young man should have some
sort of a job. The harder it is and the
more hours he has o work the better
it is for him: it will keep him out of
trouble. Every young man has some
sort of a job in view that he would
like to do. He often finds it difficult
to find the right sort of work. The
thing for him to do is to take the kind
of work he can get. There is nothing
know that causes so much trouble
as idleness. You seldom hear of fin in- i
dustrious hoy, one who will work at; !
anything he can get to do rather than
he , ..lie, . 1
ever getting into trouble. Il a
boy is seen loafing around the street!
( | a y ft.,-r day no business man wants
t(( employ him. A pull sometimes
helps a buy along, but when pull hel| is l
om . e industry and ambition helps a
thousands times. Nine-tcenths of the
successful men of today were poor I
hoys who had to fight their own way. j
The boy who is afaid he will do
, n0 re work than he is getting paid for
neV er gets anywhere while the fellow
who takes an interest and finishes the
job even if the clock hands are past
the quitting time mark is the one
who. gets the promotion, i
One trouble with many young men I
of today is that they want “positions"
with “salaries” attached, instead of
“jobs” paying “wages.” But it is true
that most of the big successes in life
at the botton and worked for
what they have. They took their “jobs”
at sma " wa K es at first, and made
something of themselves.
The young man who is not afra : d of
work S0( "i attracts attention nnd he
ncver suffers; he will, in the
6me, be offered a better job than
lie has and at better pay, hut the one
who is always dissatisfied with his
condition in life and complains because
he is not better situated than others

Dear Mr. Jones

and their accomplishments in build

strained to commend vou for vo
suggestion that such body be merUant organ

And in this connection, permit me
that you appoint as a commit

don’t you think?
There is another thing that would
mean more to Fort Valley than most
nything else, would be a bridge across
the river between here and Reynolds,
making a direct route to Columbus.
county commissioners of Crawford
said they would build a road through
their pari of the route to the river.
At any rate, wouldn't it be a great
enterprise?
We all can’t he newspaper folks,
but what they say goes a long way
perhaps, as you may already know,

On with the Chamber of Commerce.

Yours very truly,

Scientific Basis for
Chances of Greatness
The older the parents when the
child is horn, says an authority on
heredity, 'the surer its chances for
greatness
The first and lust bora are more
to attain eminence.

c , lil(|rell of I)Pofessionill people
lawyers, physicians and the like—have
a better chance for fame than those
horn to wealth or those whose parents
lacked educational advantages.
The offspring of fathers under thlr
ty-one are more likely to become sol
diers; artists come from fathers be¬
tween thirty-one and forty; between
forty-one and fifty there is more of a
tendency toward statesmen; over fif¬
ty-one come the philosophers like Con
fuclus, Bacon and Franklin.
Ninety per cent of the Investigated
criminal cases show them to be the
offspring of younger parents.
If your father Is more than sixty,
and you are the youngest child In a
large family—you should become fa¬
mous.

I WILL
I will that love herself embrace
The men of ev’ry tribe and race,
And nurture them at her own breast;
That on her bosom they be borne
To blissful seats where none can
mourn,
Where all is peace and perfect rest,
I will that all attend love's school,
And learn and live the Golden
Ami shun the horrid pit of hate,
I will mankind shall sober he
And know the life of liberty
That makes man wise and pure and
great.
I will that man shall ever rise
High as his soul’s aspiring eyes
Can climb in everduring flight;
That all shall seek the resting Place
Provided through redeeming grace.
And know the measure of its light.
