BERTON BRALEY’S
DAILY POEM
WINNERS
BY BERTOtTbRALEY.
The folks we call "Successes;’'
what’s the secret that they
know?
What sort of magic food Is that
makes them flourish so?
There isn't any secret which
cannot figure out,
Nor - any strange enchantment
which Is ringing them about!
For when you come to study them
the answer's quickly guessed,
They worked a little harder and
they planned a little better
And they dreamed a little truer
Than the rest.
They weren’t afraid of drudgery
when drudgery was wanted
They faced the little grimy John
with spirit quite undaunted.
They didn't like that sort of tnsk
they didn't find It fun.
But they kept grinding at it till
they knew that it was done;
And thus their strength and cour
age grew to meet each larger
test,
They plugged a llttlo harder, and
they tolled a littlo longer.
And they thought a little clearer
Than the rest.
A little more of effort and a little
moro of stress
Would often alter failure into glo
rious success,
But the failure blames misfortune
for his lack of fame and pelf.
He blames the times, he blames hi*
Job—but never blames him
self;
Yet the 'secret of the folks who win
Is easily expressed,
They fight a little harder, and
they act i little quieieer
And they stick a little longer
Than the rest!

In the death of the late Senator
Thomas E. Watson there has been
removed from this nation or
its greatest and ablest statesmen
and authors. Regardless of politi
cal difference And' differences of ar
economic character no one can
deny him <he' creddt of occupying
in this nation a most unique posi
tion, with a' following of thou
sands and thousasls of men and
women who believed In him and in
the policies he advocated. He is
gone, and no man has ever passed
away who had more loykl support
ers and admirers than did
Watson.
His death has brought forth
much discussion as to who will
succeed Inn in the leadership of
this large number of citizens, not
only in CWorgia, but throughout
the nation. The name of Hon. John
J. Brown, commissioner of agri
culture, seems, to be the most ac
ceptable one yet mentioned, and
many of those who were promi
nent in the support of their great
chieftain nre calling upon Mr
Frown to lake up the X^ork'unfin
ished and the work which has
been carried on by Mr. Watson for
these years where was. left off
and keep fresh in memory all the
•issues which wore near and dear
to him. Mr. Brown is capable of
leading the Watson following and
It is believed that his ,’cadership
will hold them together an no oth
er living man could do. He has
the native ability and the desire
to perpetuyte the policies of Mr.
Watson and if entrusted to him, it
Itf believed that Watson’s l^licies
will continue to live and become
cemented with the followers under
the leadership of John J. Brown.

a shining iristunce of extravagant
expenditure during those flush

fairly good cotton crops and had
a big offer-for his land. H» felt
Kke a millionaire and when a

to enjoy life right. His first in

the planting and caring for the

Is putting up the pears nnd send

clares that his concern will b

; THE HOLE FOR IT 5 >
(By T. Larry Gantt.)
Tho riot of extravagance brought
about by forty cents cotton nml
one nnd two hundred dollarfi ttu
acre for farming.,lands was the
worst curse ever inflicted upon
this country.
And wo arc now paying the debt
for the spasm of high prlcos and
wasteful expenditures. Had con
ditions remained normal, or only
a reasonable advance in valuer
under it would not have been so
bad. But the average farmer-had
an Idea that'those conditions wore
'permanent, and ho therefore in
dulged in the most wasteful ex-
trnvgance; and this applies to
both whites nnd blacks. Tho ne
groes placed u most exaggerated
value on their labor, and h .sat-
turnalin of wastefulness and lux
ury seized itnon them. The men
wore sUl; shirts and tile women
silk dresses and stockings. They
wont' deep ill debt to buy cars.
And it Wfts the same With the
whiter. But it would not have been
so had did thqy confine themselves
to squandering the money they re
ceived lor their crops or lands
when sold at Inflated values, but
nearly everybody went in debt to
the eye-brows and strained their
credit to , the utmost limit to hay
luxuries or Invest tn more or larg
er farms. An dthls condition was
not confined to any locality or
section but If prevailed all .over
the cotton bolt. Then once and
without warning camo the col
lapse In prices and the very bot
tom dronned qut of everything.
SITUATION
THERE
The other day l was talking
with a farmer In an adjoining
enuntv and he told me about the
situation In his immediate neigh
borhood. He said that one of his
neighbors owned a nee little fa-m
and was nut of debt. He sold bis
place earlv in the infaltion ot
values and later • bought a better
farm of 105 acres for which he
agreed to pay $18,000. He nut In
the house acetyllne lights and made
other improvements and these
with the cash be paid nn the new
purchase, consumed wbat he re
ceived for the farm he sold.
When the collapse In pricks

his notes and n few days since the

that hid cost him $1,8.000 brought

the nook fellow "n a lodgement
of over $5,000 will still be stand-
