People oftlmes argue that It does
not pay to be polite, pay meaning
In actual cash. This Is a fallacious
etatement for In many cases it pays
and in ways that they never would
expect. Two Instances come to
mind In the experience of local mer
chants. One a hardware man. did
some tinning business. A gentle
man came In with a tin coffee pot
and wanted It mended, and he want
ed it done at once. The clerk did
not have time to do the Job in the
time specified so he gave the man
a cheap coffee pot, stating that he
hated to disappoint him and would
rather give him the article for noth
ing. The man went out, after prom
ising that If he ever needed anything
In that line he would trade there.
Four years later he found the store.
The clerk had gone but his kindness
of the previous occasion had prov
en valuable to ‘he owner of the es
tablishment and the result was the
sale of a bill, amounting to six hun
dred dollars In builders materials.
The man sought out the place and
bought there.
Another clerk recently In the city
gave a man a pair of shoe strings
and was polite and agreeable to him.
He made an impression upon tbe
stranger and In less than three
months the same man came back,
asked for that clerk and bought two
pairs of shoes. He said that as long
as he had been nice about tbe shoe
etr.ngs he thought he would trade
there when he needed something,
that was worth money.
Neither of those clems knew that
they were making trade. They
were polite and their employers
profited handsomely. It always
pays even though tbe specific In
stance like the two above mentioned
cannot be cited. A man never likes
a grouch or a sourface to wait upon
him. He resents tbe attitude of
some clerks toward him and their
Inattention and carelessness oftlmes
loses to a serious degree trade which
might otherwise be secured.
Merchants always are on the
lookout for clerks that are polite
and agreeable because It has been
proven that they attract n large
amount of trade.

humanly human excesses connected
w 1th such a function.
"While many good people, reared
in a 'dancing atmosphere,' regard
It as Innocent pastime, the records
show that countlees thousands of
young men and young women have
gone to their moral ruin from the
ball room. And we submit in all
candor, that the Inauguration of the
President of the nation—yea,'—
that the White House, as a perma

should not be made the distributing

"Bravo! Our Georgia Rodilenhery
"Our brave old friend, Congress
man Anderson Roddenbery, saw It
and said it. Indeed, It was the
place of Congress to act, rather than
for President-elect Wilson, not yet
inaugurated, to .demand. And Judge
Roddenbery, whose annihilating elo
quence has driven more barrooms
out of buslnes than any other Con
gressman. except Richmond P. Hob

his early Georgia ideals, when he
leaped on all modern dances,
