a white man was oiten valued
those times according -to" the num
ber of slaves he had, and'on down
to the present day, we are estimat

but when .we begin to think for £
moment, we realize at once that any
man who can be valued in dollars is
but little education, -no military
training, and of doubtful morals,
and yet by> an indomitable ‘ energy
and capacity for work he became , a
noted general and conspicious
Statesman. The greatest quality
General Grant was his bull dog ifenV
ncity and unyielding energy.
But we come now to consider the
best and 'crowning quality of human
a cheap man. How much was George wor th, moral integrity Whatever

_ . greatest men of all the ages, had

worth ?How much was Martin Luther ac f er _ jj e d ; d no t demonstrate any
worth, and John Wesley, Shake- unusual talent-in his military, civic
speare, Henry W. Longfellow, or literary labors.. He was a man of
Philipps Brooks, Robert E. Lee, p* energy and constant applica-

Stonewall Jackson, and Woodrow ^ Napoleon or Benedict Arno i d .
Wilson ? The estimated value Either 0 f these men were for his
Wilson’s estate was in the papers superiors in every other quality -of
their lives excepting the character
'side. Both of these men were con
spicious' in talent, education and in
dustry and lacking only in moral
word ih, dJid yet were complete fail
ures). Washington mistrusted his own
military qualifications and never
made] an important move without
calling his Generajs together for
consultation. He mistrusted his own
qualities as a statesman and for
every important quetion called to-
getlfier;his Cabinet and legal advis

ity (only he out-ranked them all, his
^unsjelfilhness, patriotism and affec

nold for about 540,000, but the f God is the giver of talent, the
whole English Government didn’t 'schools and colleges aVe looking af-
have enough money to buy George .ter the question of education, and
this v&pek. Who noticed it? We see
in a moment that great men are
not valued in dallars and cents. And
it is only cheap men who can be
valued that way. For a man is more
precious than fine -gold, and his
price is above that of rubies. In|the
... times of the American Revolution,
it was the cheap men who had mon
ey that were the tories, and the (men
of high value who had only a fowl-
: ing piece and a hunting shirt were
the ones who won our dependence.The
English army bought Benedict
Washington. For a man is
precious than fine gold.
So the chief asset of every
tion, state, country and county
community is found in its boys ahd
girls, and the chief business of fa
community is the -development of its
youth. And, whatever may be /'the
cost to us, all we spend, if it is/well
spent, is spent well; if it is wisely
applied, it is well invested. J
We may nquire next what (are the
chief eements in personality f What
-vt(ain~uhlnts , / of cultiva
tion to produce the highest value in
the person? We may divide these
into four heads in the order of their
importance.
1, Talent; 2, Education; 3, Indus-
trv; and 4, Moral Character.
By talent we mean that inherit
ance of mental gifts which qualify
us for great achievement, which
most of us discover in our children
- very early- in life, and are very
proud of it and justly so. Most every
child is very, very bright to his own
parents and relatives. In most cases

others .fall under, their own weight.

The second element in bringing a
person to the highest valuation is
education. It is commonly estimated
that about one per cent of our
American people are college gradu-
per
u. S. Senators, Congressmen, Su
oreme Court Judges and such like.
But even, after counting jthis won-
lerful agency in hpman develop

men and women are either failures

in the other two elements of human
ichievement, industry and V moral
jharacter. We come, therefore, to
sonsider the thpd element in per

PAPER IS SOLD
Richland, Ga., April 1.—Effective
today, the Richland News, published
at this city, goes under a new man
agement through a lease consum
mated between M. B. Brown, who
has been publisher and editor for
the past ten -years, and Messrs.
Banes and son, of Kankakee, HI.
On account of his ministerial
work Mr. Brown has contemplated
the idea of leasing out the ..plant for
several months in order, that he
might devote his entire .time to the
pressing duties devolving upon him
as a minister and during the time
Messrs. Banes and son, who sold
out their plant ip Illinois last fall,
have been driving over Florida and
Georgia looking out a prospective
location to lease or buy. Richland
and the News office appealed to them
as an ideal plant location and with
in one hour after they reached Rich
land a deal was closed placing them
in charge of the office today and re
leasing the former editor of his du
ties which are pressing upon him as
a minister.
Already the preacher-editor, who
has been in the ministerial' (work
but five months, is pastor of ‘ five
churches -and has a considerable
portion of his time during the sum
mer engaged for meetings.
WHATEVER YOU ARE.
If you can’t be a pine on the top of
the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley—but be
The best little scrub at the side of
the rill; ,
Be a bush if you can’t be a free.
If ybu can’t be a bush, be a bit of
grass,
Some highway to happier make;
Ifyou can’t be amuskie, then just be
I a bass;
But be the liveliest bass in the
lake.
IJe can’t all be captains, we’ve got
to be crew;
There’s something for all bf us
here;
There’s big work to do and there’s
lesser to do,
And the task we must do r is the
near.
If you can’t be a highway, then just
be a trail;
If you-can be the sun, be a star;
It isn’t by size .that you win or you
fail—
Be the best of whatever you are.
