THOMAS W. HARDWICK, Gov.
By the Governor:
S. G. McLendon,
Secretary of State.
Have you ever told a lie to
avoid jury service?
Have you ever visited your
child’s school?
Do you ever throw tin cans,
bottles, or old newspapers into
the public streets?
Do you ever pick up a bottle,
or old newspaper from the street
and throw it into a trash can?
Do you make every effort
to vote on Election day, or do
you leave the voting to those
who have nothing else to do?
Did you ever take your auto
mobile and pick up neighbors
who might forget to go to the
polls ?
Would you refuse to represent
your ward in the city council or
on a political committee and let
an inferior man have the job?
Do you go to any trouble to
find out the qualifications of ri
val candidates for your State
legislature ?
In voting, do you split your
ticket or always follow strict
party lines?
Do you belong to a particular
political party because your fa
ther did ?
Do you vote for a congress
man largely because you have
nothing against him and he
once sent you a package of rad
ish seeds?
Would the fact that a candi
date kissed your baby and re
membered your name influence
you to vote for him?
Have you personally made
any serious effort to induce
more intelligent men to run for
Congress in your district?
Do you annoy congressmen or
other busy officers with re
quests for favors of value only
for yourself?
Do you stay away from ward
political meetings because they
bore you and deplore what was
done by those who did attend?
Do you persistently kick to
the manager of your moving
picture show and urge him to
show better and more interest
ing pictures?
Do you obey foolish orders of
your health board, even when
you think they do more harm
than good, without making any
protest ?
Do you invariably object to
any improvement tax in which
you will have to pay your own
share?
Are you the kind who objects
to being taxed for neighborhood
playgrounds just because you do
not happen to have any children
yourself?
Do you get out and shove
when occasion requires, or are
you always a passenger.—Ex
change.
FIND YOUR TALENT AND
USE IT.
Raw Furs
Never allow yourself to be
come completely discouraged. It
is dangerous both to yourself
and family. It may be hard to
bear up under certain difficul
ties; but strain every nerve to
keep on the top. Once you slump
you are lost. If you are unable
to meet your bills, because of
conditions that' are seemingly
overwhelming, do not despair.
Try to regulate your living so
that you will keep within your
income. If you give up, and
your creditors take a hand in
your affairs they will not leave
you in shape to do anything.
Brace up, cheer up and hold
your head. If you are in a bus
iness that will not yield suffici
ent returns to support you and
your family get out of it and
take up something else. Every
man has a talent, and if he finds
he is on the wrong track and
engaged in business for which
he is poorly adapted the wisest
course is to get out of it at the
earliest possible moment and
take up another more adopted
to his capabilities. There is al
ways something for every man
to do successfully. The great
difficulty is to find Uhe right
thing; but find it and on to suc
cess — Hustle. — Willacoochee
Times.
It will be well for every one
who reads the above to let it
sink into their brain so that they
will be continually reminded of
the great thought.

Long Living.
The men of eighty-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, well-
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
a slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, a man past middle
age will occasionally eat too much
or of some article of food not suited
to his constitution, causing indiges
tion or constipation and will need a
dose of Chamberlain’s Tablets to
move his bowels and invigorate his
stomach. When this is done, there
is no reason why the average man
should not live to a ripe old age.
