A good reputation is like a good
friend, never fully appreciated until
lost.
A New York dispatch states that
embezzlers steal ten times as much
as bank robbers.
You can buy an electric wrist-
watch of usual size whose battery
lasts 18 months and can be re

A comprehensive plan for buying
Stone Mountain and developing it
into a sutiable memorial is rapid

A local wag says there is lots
of difference between the two
faces of some women—one with
which they wake up and the one
after make-up.
The Cordele Publishing Co., Inc.

Life does not always run smooth

softest thing to fall back on.

Former Ellaville Minister Now
Living in Gold Ghost Town
In the country 50 or 60 years
ago, it was a bare, white, hard
packed yard around the home,
kept clean by threats to small boys
with brushbrooms. Nowadays it is
grass, power mowers and about $3
a week to keep the same yard.
John T.Davis in the Elbertom Star
tells his readers that while people
are restless wishing and wanting
things they cannot acquire, it is
well for them to divest themselves
of some things they have, *nd don’t
need, such as egotism, envy,
avarce, and hatred.
Last year the nation’s fire loss
was in the neighborhood of one
billion dollars, a sum equal to the
total personal income of all the
people in New Hampshire. This
proves the nation’s continuing
need for the most effective possible
fire prevention work.
“One thing that distinguishes
man from other animals is his in
terest in his past and future,” re
marks our friend J. Roy McGinty
of the Calhoun Times. Continuing
he states: You never saw a hog
who cared who his grandpaw was
-or what he did; or cared a thrip
whether his grandson would become
a registered and pampered sire or
a tub of pork sausagei Maybe it is
a good thing that the hog is not
concerned about his history or his
destiny; if he got too nosey about
these subjects he might decide his
civil rights were faring somewhat
badly and demand the right to
vote.”
A massive old railroad station
looks down in brooding silence on
the stone skeletons of Rhyolite,
Nev.—a city that lived briefly and
wildly in the goldfilled hills of
souther Nevada.
Half a century ago, its waiting
room—then the most luxurious
between Chicago and San Francis
co — bustled with goldhungry
people.
Today, the station is home to a
retired Methodist minister and his
wife, who left the green wooded
countryside of Montezuma, Ga., to
take up a new life among the
stark ruins of Rhyolite.
Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Heisler are
among seven residents of the crum
bled ghost town whose streets once
thronged with 18,000 persons.
They own the sprawling old de
pot and an idle gold mine deep in
the hills which rim Rhyolite —
named after the volcannic rock that
abounds in the area.
Mrs. Heisler, a retired school
teacher, inherited the property
from a brother in 1935.
Rev. and Mrs. Heisler formerly
lived in Ellaville when he was pas
tor of the Methodist charge in that
city.
This Gal Would
Soon Be Boss
A social research expert set out to
discover what talents the ideal
secretary must have in today’s bus
iness world.
Interviewing some 250 bosses,
the expert came to these conclu
sions as to what the good secre
tary must be:
A “boss-freer.” An accomplished
organizer, she should free her boss
from routine and administrative
details.
J An administrative assistant. She
. should have the initiative and
ability to make decisions in the
boss’s absences.
A condidante and adviser. She
should combine a responsive ear,
but one of confidence.
An informed member of the firm.
She should be well-versed in the
technical jargon of the business.
Only trouble, as we see it, with
that kind of a secretary is that it
wouldn’t be long before she would
be owning the business.—Macon
Telegraph.
Be Safe, Be Seen
(From the Ocilla Star)

I Modern mechanized equipment
has been a major factor in revolu
tionizing agricultural techniques
1 that had been virtually unchanged
for centuries. This equipment is ab-
' solutely essential to successful
| farming today. At the same time,
! like all mechanical devices, it has
j led to a safety problem. It can be
dangerous if misused.
I The farm equipment industry has
' been carrying on an agressive
1 safety program. It is obvious that
the great majority of accidents con
nected with the use of tractors and
other equipment are the direct re
sult of human carelessness, ig
norance, and apathy. All kinds of
elementary safety rules are ig
nored — and the casualty statistics
i mount. Makers are doing every-
I thing to build safety in machines.
jThe rest is up to the user.
“Too busy to pray?” asks
l Maxie Patten in the Adel News
I and adds: “Prayer is not lost time,
j It is living itself. It is that with-
iout which no time is saved, but
all time is lost. It conserves time,
' making it valuable and effective.
We must remember that Jesus
j prayed before He worked and so
I got strength for His work; He

My Town Deserves
Mv Loyalty
“My town is the place where my
home is found, where my business
is situated and where my vote is
cast. It is where my children are
educated, where my neighbors
dwell, and, where my life is chief
ly lived. It is the home spot for
me.”
“My town has the right to my
civic loyalty. It supports me and I
should support it.”
“My town wants my citizenship,
not my partisanship: my friendli
ness, not my dissension; my sym
pathy, not my criticism: my alle
giance, not my indifference.”
“My town supplies me with pro
tection, trade, friends, education,
schools, churches, and the right to
free moral citizenship. It has some
things that are better than others;
the best things I should seek to
make better; the worst things I
should seek to make better; the
worst things I should help to’ sup
press.”
“Take it all in all, it is my town
and it is entitled to the best there
is in me.”—Anonymous.
Congratulations to the Warren-
ton Clipper observing its 115th an
niversary. Our good friend Ernest
Lee was editor and publisher of
this newspaper, the only publica
tion in Warren County, from 1905
to 1942. For the past number of
years it has been edited and pub
lished by Alva Haywood.
Because all the Democrats don’t
see just alike on any proposed leg
islation, it doesn’t mean, as Pres.
Eisenhower says, the party is
“hopelessly split.” Ex-President
Truman well says “The Democrats
are not and cannot be split. The
President is just “hopeful.”
Georgia’s leading farm income
is now secured from the poultry
industry. The North Georgia Trib
une says its a new way of farm
ing—raising chickens, and farmers
are making more money from
them than all the previous row
crops ever produced in North
Georgia."

reputations, who lie there quietly
and are the same now as the least
known person buried there. It
might help the ego of some, who
still live.”

Reports from
SHINCTOm
THE SUPREME COURT, during
the course of its recently-concluded
1957 session, confirmed the worst
fears of Thomas Jefferson who
warned upon the founding of
this Republic that “the Judiciary
branch is the instrument which,
working like gravity, without in
termission, is to press us at last
into one consolidated mass.”
I njg : 5 After more
than three years
s of pursuing a
'1 calculated de-
. sign to destroy
the last vestige
§g of state sover
eignty in this
nation, the
Court turned its
judicial chisel on the other two
branches of the Federal Govern
ment, the Executive and the Legis
lative. Not only did it seek to
nullify the constitutional powers
and prerogatives of the Congress
but also it endeavored to hamstring
the enforcement of the lawn by the
Executive Branch.
* • •
THROUGH ITS DECISIONS
this year, if they are allowed to
Btand, the Court endeavored to put
crippling restraints upon the power
of Congress to investigate and the
authority of the Executive Branch
to prosecute law violators. Even
worse, through seizing upon flimsy
technicalities, it afforded a judicial
refuge for communist conspirators
in which those who would subvert
this nation to communism can enjoy
almost complete immunity from
prosecution.
The Court held that witnesses
may refuse to testify before Con
gressional Committees on the
grounds that their consciences will
not permit them to talk, that the
various departments of the Federal
Government must open their secret
files to fishing expeditions on the
part of lawyers defending persons
on trial for violating federal laws,
that confessions cannot be sought
from arrested rape suspects and
that membership in the Communist I
Party is not necessarily proof of
conspiring to overthrow the gov
ernment of the United States.
• • •
THESE RULINGS, AND many
others of equally-alarming impli
cations which can be cit«d, were
handed down under the guise of
“protecting the rights” of the in
dividuals so accused. The fallacy
ff that contention is that—granted
that even subverters, rapists and
all manner of law violators are
entitled to due process of law—the
protection of the rights of the vast
majority of law-abiding citizens
from abuse by such individuals is
a far more vital consideration.
Too, it must be born in mind,
that the theory of the Supreme
Court that the rights of the indi
vidual are superior to the restraints
of organized society is just another
definition for “anarchy.”
The Justices would do well to
recall the admonition of Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the
greatest jurists ever to sit on that
bench, that the possession of indi
vidual liberties does not give any
person the right to shout fire in a
crowded theater.

TALK ABOUT
F0RD$ COST LESS PER Mill!
Fords cost less to buy!
No doubt about it! Model for model, Ford cars are the lowest
priced* of the low-price three. And don’t be fooled by those
“low prices” now being quoted for some “stripped down”
models in the medium-price field. Remember, a ’57 Ford
equipped the way most people want a car today—with auto
matic transmission, heater and radio—costs hundreds of dol
lars less than these medium-priced cars, similarly equipped..*
*3ased on comparison of manufacturers* suggested, retail delivered prices
Fords cost less to run!
In the only nationally recognized test of gasoline economy,
the 1957 Mobilgas Economy Run, a Ford Six delivered more
miles per gallon than any other car entered! This, remember,
was no “private test” conducted for the benefit of a single
manufacturer. This was grueling competition between 12
different makes of cars . . . supervised by the United States
Auto Club. And when the test was over, Ford led all other
cars in the thing you want most—actual miles per gallon!

Farm production in 1957 may
drop 4% to 57r below last year’s
record-matchivig volume, the Agri
culture Department predicted. Ex
cessive rain and retirement of crop
acreage to the soil bank have re
duced crop prospects to the lowest
level since 1951, it added. But
■heavy surpluses of wheat, cotton,
corn and feed grains and other
commodities carried over from past
years will cushion the reduction in
1957 output.
We sincerely regret to learn of
this incident as recorded in the
Adel News: “The breach between
the North and the South is wider
now than any time since Civil War.
This has been caused by the ruling
of the Supreme Court in integra
tion of the schools. Barriers have j
been built up that had been pretty I
well broken down. Thousands of I
Northern people have come to the)
South to make their home. No one >
forced them South. They came of
their own accord.They like it here.
They soon became adjusted and
see that much of the criticism
against the South was not true.
The South was on her knees from
an economic standpoint until the
last quarter of a century when in
dustry of a century when industry
in the North started moving
South.”
Fords cost less to trade!
Latest official auction sale figures on used cars show clearly
that the new kind of Ford commands a higher price‘than
either of its two low-priced competitors. The men who bid
at these auctions are professional buyers—men whose very
livelihood depends upon their expert knowledge of cars.
They pay more for used Fords because they know that Fords
hold up in value. Like thousands of Ford owners from coast
to coast, they have discovered that Ford is worth more when
you buy it. . . worth more when you sell it, tool
