People often seek excuses for their
ailments instead of trying to remedy
them.
A year from now most of the sub
jects that are being debated in pub
lic forums will be out-of-date.
To any one who lived through the |
World War there is a familiarity to j
the stories of “new weapons" and
human suffering.
. in contending for a constitutional
Editor amendment that would prevent ali

General Ellis Arnall. The aliens in

makes his living and fortune from
the opportunities afforded here, but
who transfers what he accumulates
to his native land, and remains a
citizen of his native land, might
come within the Attorney General's
idea. Injustice must be guarded
against, but our form of govern
ment must be and shall be preserv

While time marches on one by one
of those whose lives and labors have
been a great inspiration to us, both
personally and in the conduct of our
newspaper are called to their re

to our heart greater sorrow than
the passing last week of Hon. Wm.
G. Sutlive, editor of the Savannah

years ago, but better known
throughout the state and South for

FATE OF PARIS
With the approach of the Nazis to
Paris the world is concerned not on
ly for the welfare of people, as is
concerned not only for the welfare
of people, as is the case with the
destruction of any center of habita
tion, but for the survival of one of
the most magnificent centers of ar
chitecture, culture and social pro
gress the world has known. Simul
taneously London awaits its fate—
large, flourishing centers of culture,
education, religion and progress
bracing themselves against the man
iacal lashing of one man.
With the recent bombardment of
Paris, the New York Times came
out in terms of denunciation for an
order of society which could delibe
rately set about to destroy what had
taken centuries to build. It said:
“If this kind of fiendishness con
tinues, if Paris and London are to
become shambles of ruined buildings
and murdered civilians, the fires of
bate will not be quenched in our
time. The anger of civilized peo
ples will burn so fiercely that it will
consume the hateful German system
which has loosed these horrors upon
the world.” The Times further
pointed out that, while other cities
have been subjected to this sort of
thing one after another and defense
less and helpless women and chil
dren have died in the wake of Hit
ler's relentless path, the bombing of
Paris has a new element in it.
“Great cities like Paris,” says The
Times, “Are more than aggregations
of men, women and children. They
are the treasure-houses of the wes
tern spirit. Whoever strikes at them
strikes at all that man has built
through ages of sacrificing and striv
ing.”—Savannah Press., *

her many friends that Mrs. Theo
McGee, of Columbus, accompanied

According to Lieut.-Com. E. E. El
more, U. S. N., of the Navy recruit
ing station at Macon, the response
to the president's recent proclama
tion for increasing the military serv
ices has brought a sharp increase in
the number of young men to apply

It will be of interest to the many
friends of Rev. Hugh Dozier, pastor
of the local Baptist church, that
following his preaching service here

Editor Rush Burton, of the La-

The enterprising city of Griffin

civic genius has been invested in
preparations for the celebration, and
its sponsors are to be heartily con
gratulated upon the impressive pro
gram arranged.
The Moultrie Observer gives this
Jiote of praise for its neighbor city
of Albany: “Apparently Albany wins
again. She becomes a metropolis in
South Georgia. Of course, this is not
counting out Savannah as a South
Georgia city. Savannah is the real
metropolis of the belt south of Ma
con and Augusta. But Albany leads
that next strata of cities among
which there has been strong compe
tition in the last few years. Albany
Waycross, Valdosta and Brunswick
have been the big four in interest
ing rivalry in the last thirty or for
ty years.”
long because Mr. Sutlive was never
known to break a promise, large or
small, and always at the command
of his friends. It was a genuine joy
to be in his presence because of his
fine spirit and manner of dispelling
gloom should there be such. He made
his start at the beginning in the
weekly newspaper office and from
his rapid climb as a young man he
was singled out for editor of Sa
vannah's evening daily when first
established and remained steadfast
to that post until death overtook
him.
After browsing around parts of
North Georgia, enjoying the beauti
ful scenery, delightful atmosphere,
gracious hospitality of its people
and mingling with delightful groups
of Uncle Sam's postal employes we
find it anything but an easy matter
to routine duties. But the inovation

has been worth all the cost of time,
money and taxation upon our physi

North Georgia, noted for its inspir
ing mountain peaks, ttqautjiful ral
lies and winding streams, is at its
best at this season of the year,
while the inhabitants of that section
bend their every energy in providing
pleasure and comfort to all who
will accept their generous invitation
to visit them. We know of no place
where these conditions are more
fully met, and where too the relig
ious influence completely permeates
the air, than around Toccoa, where
on the one side is Toccoa Falls In
stitute, about which columns could
he written without scratching the sur
face, and on the other side by the
evangelistic camp ground, where an
enormous tabernacle and hotel ac
commodations have been constructed
by the nationally known evangelist,
Mr. R. G. LeTourneau and head of
one of the largest and most success
ful manufacturing plants! in the
South, his big steel plant manufac
turing as it does the highest type
of modern road machinery
now in use. This point is
now the center of interest for the
whole of Georgia and many adjoin
ing states. It was under such in-
\ ironments the annual session of the
Georgia Branch National League of
District Postmasters was held last
week and without fear of successful
contradiction we say was the most
interesting in the history of the or
ganization. In some future issue we
hope to tell our readers more about
the progress Toccoa has made in the
past few' years; but, more especially
about the great contribution to the
Master's cause, as well as to that of
education, especially among the
youths of Georgia, being made by
Mr. LeTourneau and Dr. R. A. For
rest, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Toccoa, who also as head
of the Bible Institute now being con
ducted at Toccoa Falls and as Toc
coa Falls postmaster, was host to
the convention.
WHAT IS AN EDUCATION?
The fellow who wins is the one
who can come right back after every
blow—the man who can stand the
punishment and come up smiling
every time—the one who increases
his determination as the resis-
tence to his purpose increases and
holds on to the invincible faith in
himself and the ultimate success of
his efforts.
The power of will and even tem
perament which are exercised under
the most trying conditions often
measure the digerence between

When you are fighting the battles
3* life and business, it is not alone
the natural opposition you are strug
gling with—but SELF, the one in
dividual whom you must be able to
conquer and dictate to at all times.
The clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
Now is the only time you own;
Live, love, toil with a will;
Place no faith in tomorrow, for
The clock may then be stili.

“One of the current stories that is
going the rounds in England,” says
Happy Moron in the Cordele Dis
patch, “concerns the recent turn
coat order of King Leopold of the
Belgians,” which he quotes as “the
only difference between Leopold and
Judas Iscariot," says the British
wags “is that Leopold didn't take
time to do the kissing.”
A South Georgian by birth, being
a native of Lumpkin, Comptroller
General Wm. B. Harrison, while in
life wa s loved throughout the state
for the able public service he ren
dered and in his death, which occur
red suddenly last week, is mourned
as but few men. He had been con
nected with the Comptroller Gener
al's office since 1917 and elected to
that office in 1924 to fill the unex
pired term of the late Wm. A.
Wright.
In seeking to whom he might do
honor and at the same time give to
the state the benefit of service ably
end faithfully rendered, Gov. Rivers
has again looked to Columbus for
such a man having made the splen
did selection of Hon. Willis Battle
as a member of the Board of Re
gents to succeed Chairman Marion
Smith who resigned recently. In
spekaing of the appointment W. C.
Tucker in the Columbus Enquirer
says: “Congratulations to Regent
Battle! If he had accepted an offer
made some time ago by Gov. Rivers,
our friend, Willis Battle, would now
be Judge Battle. However, he pre
ferred the private practice of law to
thesuperior court bench and declined
'.he appointment. Gov. Rivers finally
induced the Columbus lawyer to ac
cept an importnt post, tho, and Wil
lis is now a member of the board of
regents of the University System of
Georgia. He is sure to prove a valu
able member of the board.”
A nationwide approval greets the
doc, : . Aon of the United States Su

Recently at a denominational gen
eral conference one of the delegates
remarked in an argument that con
scientious objectors while they might
be too conscientious to fight were
not too conscientious to enjoy the
liberty for which others fought.
Analagously the people who feel
that their consciences will not per
mit them to salute the flag of the
United States do not seem to be im
pelled by their consciences to move
to n nation whose flag they will sa
lute the flag of an earthly govern
ment they make all possible effort
to live where there is no govern
ment.
Wo fail to see where a salute to
the flag of the government under
which one is content to live; to the
flag of the government that provides
benefits which are used and enjoyed
should violate the most scrupulous
conviction of the most scrupulous
person on earth.
No person lives in the United
States without enjoying the benefits
of ordered society made possible by
the strength of the government. This
is so much true that loyal English
men an dFrenchmen when in this
nation stand when the national an
them is played and salute when the
United States flag passes. Likewise
loyal citizens of the United States
when in other lands pay tribute to
the national anthem and flag.
Indeed, it is fair to inquire wheth
er a refusal to salute the flag of the
L nited States does not with each re
fusal raise questions in the heart of
the person refusing that make it the
more difficult to be a loyal citizen.
The United States flag is the em
blem of the government under which
these oeople wh refuse to salute
live voluntarily of their own free
will and accord. Having done so
they should not object to saluting
the emblem of the government whose
benefits they enjoy.—Waycross Jour
nal.
While regretable that even two
of Georgia's Representatives in
Congress out of a quota of ten
should face opposition this year we
note that in South Carolina every
member of Congress who seeks to
fill the office for another term is op
posed for nomination. Another good
leason for preferring to live in the
good old state of Georgia rather
than in South Carolina.

There's much real rejoicing through
out the state, not only to his host of
newspaper friends, but to the read
ers of the Atlanta Constitution as
well in the announcement that Dud
ley (Dud as he is better known)
Glass, will conduct daily a column in
the Constitution similar to that in
the Atlanta Georgian for a number
of years prior to the time that paper
ceased publication last year. We con
gratulate the Constitution on having
secured the services of our good
friend, Dudley.
The best of authority believe that
Hitler has no thought of coming to
North America. The best informed
believe that in the event Hitler wins
the war, Canada would probably de
clare her independence, or possibly
join the United States. There might
be trouble in Mexico or South
Americas, but Hitler would not have
the men, supplies or money to wage
war in those fields against the com
bination of the United States and
the other American republics. North
America will be let alone for a long
long time—from a military point of
view.
We join heartily with the Atlanta
Journal of Labor in extending con
gratulations to the Atlanta Journal
on its successful campaign for the
inauguration of streamline train
service into Atlanta. According to
announcement in the Journal the
railroads have promised to begin this
service next winter. The railroads
are to be commended for their wil
lingness to bear the extra cost inci
dent to such a service. They should
have tfie assurance of the communi
ty that the streamline train will
mean better patronage and hence
ample compensation for the extra
cost.

To know the contents of books is
a part of education, but it is not an
education. One may load his head
with knowledge until it makes him
bow-legged to carry it and still be
only a learned dunce. Knowledge is
not wisdom. Knowledge will show
you how to do things hut wisdom
will show you what is worth doing
and what you had better let alone.
I heard recently of a first honor
graduate of a Georgia institution
now teaching in one of our country
villages who needs to he looked af
ter by the Dies Committee for anti-
American teachings. He has knowl
edge but no wisdom if he thinks tax
payers are going to keep on employ
ing him to tear down American stan
dards. H e has a right to his opin-

Training of muscle, mind or spirit
means doing a thing over and over
until it cuts a groove so deep that
it is easier to stay in it than it j,
to pull out of it that's what charac-

characters because before the days of
paper the ancients cut letters into
soft clay tablets with a bone and
then baked the tablet hard. Blessed

Undigested knoweldge, like undi
gested food, puffs up instead of
building up. I suspect that was what i
Puul had on mind
knowledge would puff us up like a
alloon but that love would build us
up like a brick wall.
The word “educate” carries
hint of “loadin
except as a means of “leading out” j
and strengthening the person. It is
from “duco,” a lead. The noun form
is “dux!” a leader. To educate then
means to lead out the whole person
ality of the pupil until his conduct,
which means to “lead with,” enables
him to lead a daily life that is help
ful to himself and to those he deals
with. That smart Aleck first honor
man referred to above is loaded up
with knowledge but he'is not educat
ed because he doesn't “lead with”
the constitution and basic principle
of the Government that taxes its
people to give him free schooling. He
has the right to reject these princi
ples if he wishes to but, if he has
any principles of his own, he will
resign as a teacher before he does.
The education of an ox, a horse, a
pointer dog or any other animal
consists wholly of training until they
know how to do their work, have
"good conduct” and can "lead in
company with” the people who need
their services. The education of a
human being also requires constant
training so that the knowledge ac
quired may be used to help the
world instead of hurting it as so
many do. Without proper training
into right attitude of mind and hab
its of body, they are learned but
not educated, they have knowledge
without wisdom, and power without
guidance.
Conduct reflects character and
our chaiacters show what kind of
training we had. Next to a good
mother, children need most, real
women in church schools and day
schools to give them proper training.
Later they will need the right sort
of men to keep up their training. Re
cently I visited a home where the
wife, an exschool-teacher, was bed
ridden and had been for many

gium and France.
She is Mary Frances Vining, j
third-year club worker, who ex
when he said : ,,,ai '"' d in a letter to the Telegraph
| the movement she and her nine-yea;
i old sister, a first-year 4-H club
I member, are launching.
I “While listening to the radio re-
up" with knowledge l’ 0 ^ ° f the ^ring in Europe,"
Mary Frances wrote: “I thought ho»
much the girls of Georgia could dc
to help. We want to ask the club
members in Georgia to join us in
making clothes for the refugees in
France.”
The 4-H club movement is built
upon the theme of the Heart, Hand.
Head and Home. Mary France* Vir.-
ing also is also using her head:
“You see,” she explained, "If each
girl made a dress or other piece o‘.
clothing, it would heip the refugees
and also help use our surplus col-
ton.”
Here is Mary Frances' appeal:
“To 4-H club girls of Georgia:
“The first of the month is hen
so it is time for an inventory. Look
all around you. Count your blessings
see what God has done. Did you find
many? Sure you did.
“If you are thankful to Cod, won't
you please express that thankful
ness in the form of help to the suf
fering refugees in France?
“Won't each of you make a dress
or a suit of underwear for those un
fortunate girls in Europe? Even
first-year girls can make simple
clothes that would help so much.This
would also help America use her
surplus cotton.
“The garments can be turned over
to your county agent, who will glad
ly present them to the nearest Red
Cross station in the name of the <•

From Berlin comes the claim that
