The higher you climb the ladder of success, the
greater is the crowd at the bottom watching and se
cretly praying that you may lose your footing, miss
the next rung and lie dashed to the level of those
Whose jealousy you have provoked—they want what
you havi* and wish to l>** what you an\
That's human nature, and you can’t get away from t,i
for if you rise shove the dead line of success and
ach Hie heights of a personal or business achieve
ment, you must expect slander and malice—it’s an
invitation to dirt throwers to aim in your direction.
In these days when ‘hearsay” is rampant and wild
stories are being circulated by unscrupulous persons,
which are detrimental to the reputation of indie id
unis or business associates, it is wise to take such
statements with a grain of salt and then without a
moment's hesitation —forget them.
Idle gossip is only the hark of a hair brained weip
n n,l nt its best is an uncertain weapon, yet even in
this enlightened age there are many who never scru
ple to use it, if it happens to serve their purpose.
Herbert Kaufman Hit the nail square on the head
when, writing on the human “Anvil chorus," he said:
“Only big men appreciate the merit of others —that s
the quality which makes them great. To recognize
genius is the next thing to possessing it.
In handing out these few bricks, let me add a few
bouquets and leave a helpful thought with you its
nothing new and has been told many times before
and will be repeated long after we have departed this
earthly sphere, but it’s a wonderful thought listen
“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so to them.
1 don’t know who said it, but here Is a thought
that is worth remembering—" Believe not each ac
cusing tongue. As most weak mortals do. But still
believe that story wrong. Which ought not to he true.”
Let’s take a day off—you and I—and think these
ever and let us put Into practice that spirit of “Do ye
so unto others” and make it a part of ourselves for I
really believe it can he done—at least that's What
One Man Thinks.
O
Winder loses a good citizen In the death of J. B.
Williams.
O
If we were to -start out tomorrow wonder if we
could find a Barrow county ham In any of the stores
in Winder.
O
Not a pound of hay, meat, potatoes, corn meal or
flour should be shipp'd into Barrow county. We’ll
never run Into lasting prosperity until we stop it.
O
Winder needs a live commercial organisation of
some kind. Wonder if there is enough of the spirit
of co-operation among our people to keep one going?
Winder has been considered one of the best cotton
markets in the state. Why not broaden out and make
her one of the liest markets in the state for other
products.
O
People who are trying to get something for nothing
generally wind up with getting nothing for something.
O
An lowa man recently married his seventh wife,
all sisters, and all the daughters of the family.
O
Editor Shackelford, of Lexington, says, speaking
from experience, that there is no need of a morato
rium. The debtors have already declared oue.
O
Editor Patterson, of the Forsyth County News,
says that Editor D. B. Townsend, of Ilahlonega, and
Ordinary of Lumpkin county, performed seventeen
marriages in 1921 but did not follow the old custom
of kissing the bride. How does Editor Patterson
know what Editor Townsend is doing up there in
#
the mountains where the mountain dew gushes fresh
and pure from the hillsides?
A Fprecast for 1922.
There will he rain, but not according to the Alma
nac.
Grass will grow and cream will rise, but only for
those who tend the cow or pay the price.
Heed time and harvest will come in spite of the
mistakes of the government.
Those who work will reap in due season if they
use good judgment.
No ships will come in this year unless they have
been sent out.
This is the year for politicians to save the country,
hut tiic people will have to take care of themselves.
It will be a good year for those who make a living
and save money.
It will l>e better for those who make enough to
build homes.

O
Looking for Trouble.
THIS Is a time when many of us are looking for
trouble. We grumble if it rains, and we grumble
if it don’t rain. We grumble if the sun shines, and
we grumble if it don’t shine. We grumble if we have
to work, and we grumble if we can't find work. We
complain if we are poor, and we complain if we have
money that others are trying to beat us out of it. It’s
just our natures to swing onto trouble. Frank L.
Stanton was right when he said:
“If the world rolled close to heaven, still the growlin’
tone they'd keep
That the singin' of the angels kept a fellow from his
sleep.”
This old world of ours is hard to beat. It’s full
of sunshine and glory, but we prefer the clouds and
the misery. It’s full of roses but we prefer the thorns.
Like the swine we root among the pearls and con
tinue to grunt.
Maybe some day we’ll grow wise and learn the
hotter way. But jus-t now we are grumblers and
seem “sot” in our ways.
O
Can You Beat It?
There is no more delicious article of diet than a gen
uine, "hickory smoked and molasses cured" country
ham—the type of ham that has made Brooks county
famous.
Such hams are always in demand, and eagerly
sought after.
And yet a thorough combing of the Atlanta markets,
both wholesale and retail, in a city that is central of
a metropolitan district of more than a quarter of a
million population, reveals the astounding fact that
not a single home-cured Georgia liam is on sale here!
The Constitution told the story yesterday.
There are plenty of hums in our meat markets;
there is no dearth of meat of any kind, hut for the
most part it is western meat, and the hams offered for
sale are, in the main, hams made from hogs that were
grown in the west or north, killed and prepared for
market in western packing houses, and shipped to
Georgia for sale.
Meanwhile our farmers are lying awake ’ nights
trying to figure out how to beat the boll weevil and
keep out of the clutches of the sheriff!
“Can you beat it?”
—Atlanta Constitution.
O
The Saving Habit.
WE are told that there is enough money in the
Savings banks of Atlanta to give each inhabitant
of the city $125. If this were true in Winder it
would mean that our banks would be carrying $4:t7.-
500 in rheir savings department.
What a consolation such a condition would be to
our people and what an impetus it would mean to
business conditions! When we get hold of a dollar
instead of thinking up some way In which we fan
spend it, let's put It in a saving account, and not only
safeguard ourselves against unforeseen misfortune
but help business conditions to become normal again.
A man’s success in life is guaged absolutely by his
ability to save. If he lacks the saving attribute he
is doomed to poverty and to failure. If he knows how
to save and to deny himself no power on earth can
hold him back from success.
And the women can play a great part in the re
building of our business life and in placing our coun
try upon a sound basis. A wise woman w ill not tol
erate extravagance in her household. She will con
stantly hold her husband and her children down to a
life of sensible economy. She will realize the value
of such a life to her children and will be showing
herself to be a mother who really loves her children
and is laying the foundations of their success In life.
It is religious to lie economical. It is God-like. Noth
ing is wasted in God's universe. The fragments are
always gathered up that nothing may be lost. Econ
omy means success and power and joy, which are at
tributes of the heavenly kingdom. Extravagance
means poverty and weakness, sorrow and despair,
which are hellish conditions.
It takes effort to save. It takes self-denial to win.
But the victories that we win over our own natures
and over outward forces are worth the struggle.
If you are extravagant, right about face at once,
and you will find strength and joy in your life.

**A Private Scandal”

STRAND THEATER
“Can I Succeed?”
This is an interesting question to every real man. Ev
ery woman and child is interested in it also. It is the one
question that is uppermost in our minds if we have the
least desire to succeed in life and to be considered as
worth while among our friends and associates.
You can answer this question, yourself, very easily.
It depends on your ability to save. The saving habit
means success sure and certain. If you have it you are
already on the road to success. If you have it not, it can
be acquired, if you will make up your mind to that effect.
You will never acquire the habit until you begin. It
doesn’t take large sums to begin. Just a small sum each
week or each month will enable you to make the start.
Begin to deny yourself of several things that you have
thought you needed in the past and put this money in
a saving account. It will surprise you how quick you
will get interested in your savings’ and you will begin
to get far more pleasure out of saving than you have
ever gotten out of spending.
Our savings department is to assist you in getting on
the road to success. Interest is paid on all savings ac
counts and these accounts grow every hour and every
day in the year.
