VOL. XVII. There is not so very much difference in the intelligence of people after all. The great man is not so great as folks think, and the commonplace man is not quite so stupid as he seems. The difference in our estimate of men lies in the fact that the genius gets his goods into the show window and the other is not aware that he has any show window or any goods The vest majority of men know a thousand times as much vs they are aware of; far down in the silent depths of subconsciousness lie myriads of truth, each awa ting a time w hen its oweucr shall call it forth. To utilize those stored up thoughts, you must express them to others: and to Ik* able to express them well your soul has to soar in to this subconscious realm where you have cached these net results of experience. In other worts you must “come out’’ get out of self — away from self-consciousness, into the region of partial oblivion — away from the boundaries of time, the limitations ot space, and get lost in your theme. The great painter forgets all in: tlie presence of his canvass; the! able writer is oblivious to his sur j rounding; the singer floats away on > the wings of melody; the orator pouis out his soul. When you reach the heights of sublimity and are expressing your highest and best, you are in a par tial trance condition. And all who enter this condition surprise themselves by the quantity of know ledge and the extent of insight they possess. The mind is a dual affair —ob- jective and subjective. The odject ive miud sees all, reasons things out The subjective mind stores up, and only gives out when the objective mind sleeps. And as few people ever cultivate the absorbed,reflect ive, or semi-trance state*, where the objective mind rest, they never re- ‘ Big Joe Cody, of Mt Airy 5 Years old. Weighs 214 lbs Tho following article in Sunday’s Atlanta Journal will be of interest to the readers of the Advertiser, the giant baby being a son of one ofthit county’s well known citi zens: Heie is “Bin- Joe’’ Cody again. Since Joe was born at Mt. Airy, Ga., live years ago last February, weighing twelve and one half pounds, nis pictures have been piinted liberally in newspapers all over the country. He was the original fat boy. Where other babies measuied their weight by ounces, Joe took his in pounds. Now, at the age of 5, he weighs 214 pounds even, haviug gained eighty four pounds in the last two years. Eighty four pounds in two years is growing some. Of course Joe is now at the growing age, but just suppose you ligure on the rate of forty-two pounds a year for the next sixteen years. At that speed he will weigh 886 pounds when he is 21 years old. He will be the biggest fat man since the world began. “Big Joe’s” real name is James Adolf Cody. He was born on his father’s farm a few miles Irom Mt. Aiiy, February 13, 1909. At that time his weight was normal for a baby. But the first year he gained 32 pounds, the next year 45, the next 40, aud at the age of four he weighed 20 pounds more than his father. Why! W ell, BANKS COUNTY JOURNAL THE GENIUS By Elbert Hubbard j ally call on their subconscious I treasury for its stores. They are always and forever selfeonscious. This is to be weak. And thus looking out into the Eternal, you forget the present and go forth into the Land of Sub consciousness—t he Land of Sprit where yet dwell the gods of ancient summing up of this sermonette is j that all men are equally rich, only [some through fate arc able to must er their mental legions on the plains of thire being, and count them, while others are never able to do so. Hut what think you is necessary before a person can come into full possession of his subconscious treas ures! Well, I’ll tell you: It is not ease, nor prosperity, nor re quiled love, nor worldy security— not these. “You sing well,” said the master to his best pupil, “but you will never sing divinely until you have given your all for love, anil then been neglected, and scorned and beaten, and left for dead. Then if you do not exact I die, you will come back, and when the world hears your voice it will mistake you for an angel and f ill at your feet. And the moral is that as long you are satisfied and confortable, you use only the objective mind and live in the world of sense. Hut let love be torn from your grasp and flee as a hadow —living only as a memory in a haunting sense of loss; let death come, and the sky shut down over less worth in the world; or stupid misunder standing and crushing defeat, grind you into the dust, then you may arise, forgetting time and space and -self, and take refuge in mansions not made with hands; and find a certain sad, s >eet satis faction in the contemplation of treasures stored up where theives do not break through at ands I Genious is bought with a price. Hearst’t Magazine. they say Joe ate just like any oth er Georgia boy— plenty of corn bread and syrup and “grits.” lie ate three meals a day —hearty ones —but he just couldn’t help grow ing. itcaine on him as natural as night and sunrise. This fall Joe and his young cons in who has six lingers on the right hand and seven on the left, are go ing to enter the show business. They will follow the f .irs and ex pect to make a paying ten cent show. Joey’s father and mother are not abnormally heavy, but his >rother, aged !7, weighs 171 pounds. His father weighs 165 pounds, his mother 150 pounds. Today Joey weighs 214 pounds stripped. He is 50 inches tali, gathers 47 inches around the waist, 33 inches around the thigh, 18 inches around the neck. His hand is 9 J 2 inches wide; his head, 24 inches in crcumference. —Clarkesville Advertiser. The attention of the world has been attracted to Paris the past week because a negro outlaw from the American states fougl t a sorry white man who was willing to mix with the negro for a share of the gate receipts. The low brute in stinctTaanifest in many human char acters and a depraved public sen timent made the meeting possible, and a yellow streak in the world of journalism gave the bout between these two individuals prominence— even greater prominence than war or any great international question —The Empire State Devoted to Giving the News, Encouraging the Progress, and Aiding the Prosperity of BanKs County. Homer, Banks County, Georgia, Friday, July 24, 1914. BALDWIN Social and Otherwise To gather the peaches and other fruit in this section demands the attention, energy and constant care of every man, woman and child within a radius of ten miles. The next week will iiud the bulk of the Carmen on the market, then follows Miss Liberia, the gem of the orchard. This season the labor question has given no trou ble at all; help and plenty,came in from all parts, some from Florida, Tennessee, Alabama and South Carolina., It appears that the girls give better satisfaction in grading and packing, hence a large percent of the help is fur nished by them. The net income to the growers this year, judging from present returns, will move up to the snug little sum of Slot), 000, nothing to grin at by any means. This amount of money going out into the channels of commerce will stimulate business activity and create quite a healthy feeling. Dr. M. V. Chandler moves with an elastic step, wears better clothes, carries a briglu twinkle in his eye, says “good morning” with aim, and many more nice things all because he is called I'apa.

Mrs. Barker, her daughters, Lassie, Nettie and Mattie, and sons, John and Jim are out from Atla ita to spend a few days with relatives and friends and incident alls to fake a little hand in pack ing peaches.

Our good friend Cliff Walker of Walton looks lean and lank. He is doing suc'i vigorous campaigning that he has lost a portion of his avoirdupois. No man ever worked any harder for a job than Cliff Walker is working to lieat Warren Grice for attorney general. It was earnest work and splendid cam paigniug that won the office of solicitor general for him. it is the same iudomitable energy and painstaking effort that is creating a political sensation all over Georgia. The people of Jackson are about as unanimous for Cliff as his own | home county of Walton. Of course he will not receive all the votes in Jackson, but we have not heaid a voter express himself against Cliff Walker for attorney general.— Jack sou Herald. TurK-Lumsden.
