Wont Teddy raise the dickens with his Alma Mater when he hears of It. if we just must donate money as Mrs. Longstreet wants us to do, lets help pay Georgia teachers when they have earned their small stipend. Oscar Underwood weare a two dollar hat that could be manufac tured In Italy for seventy-live cents. He wants to know why he pays more. "Tho—and have not love, I am be come as sounding brass and a tink ling cymbal.'’ Is the motto which 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. days, been a more or less abused privilege, paid for at the price or from ten to fifty dollars and being really worth nothing after 1* has been exper'oneed. The position taken by Congressman Roddenbery that, If an inaugural ball was given, it should he held without those dis graceful new-fangled dances whl h are being danced religiously by girls because they know It Is risque and meets the condemnation of so many people. The Golden Age, somewhat at length, eulogizes President Wilson and Congressman Roddenherv ' for their stand In the matter.

"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 nent and regnant social center, should not be made the distributing point for the fascinating allure ments that ‘lead to bewilder and dazzle to blind.' "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.
