The editor of the Winder News has always taken an
interest in the public affairs of our state, but he has
never thought it necessary to go wild over any polit
ical spellbinder who prances around over Georgia try
ing to save the “dear peepuh”
Courtesy and Modesty.
THE OLD SOUTH has long since been dead, and
only a faint memory of it now remains in the
minds of men. There are among us just a few old
men and old women who lived in it, suffered for it,
and still intensely love it. But they are fast passing
oil, and in a few years will all be gone, and then
none will be left to revere it.
The world would be infinitely better off, and life
would be sweeter and happier, if some of the things
that lived in the Old South would never die. It had
many high and holy customs in the daily life of its
children, but its chief glory was the gentle courtesy
of its men, and the sweet modesty of its women. Its
men each day were gentlemen in the noblest sense,
and its women each day were modest in the holiest
sense. Reveranee for sacred things, respect for age,
polished upbanity of manner, sweetness of temper,
and deep, abiding, pure homage for women, were the
ineffaceable qualities of the minds and hearts of the
men of those days. And the women, in the finest and
holiest sense, were worthy of the men. They held
in their characters, and deep in their souls, that sweet
modesty which is the ineffable glory of the pure wom
an. The brazen look, the painted face, the indecent
dress, were as impossible for the women of the Old
South, as they are for the angels in heaven.
And they ought to be impossible among us today.
Somebody ought to teach some of our young women
nbout the finer and happier things of life they are
missing.
God has linked courtesy and modesty together, just
as He has linked the destiny of the man and the
woman together. When modesty dies, courtesy dies
also. When there are in this world no more modest
women, there will then be in this world no more
gentlemen. v
There ought to be preached in the pulpits and
' taught in the schools, and above all, lived in the
homes, a revival of the old-fashioned courtesy and
modesty of the Old South. If our boys are not to be
courteous any more and our girls are not to be
modest any more, then most of the hope and the hap
piness of life are gone.—Dr. John D. Mell, in Christ

It Is Not Easy—
To apologize.
To begin over.
To admit error.
To be unselfish.
To take advice.
To be charitable.
To be considerate.
To endure success.
To keep on trying.
To avoid mistakes.
To forgive and forget.
Tq keep out of the rut.
To make the most of a little.
* To maintain a high standard.
To recognize the silver lining.
To shoulder a deserved blame.
BUT IT ALWAYS PAYS.
—The Hallegram.
O
The Man Who Pays.
UNDER the above title the Roycroft Magazine pays
a splendid tribute to the fellow that pays his debts:
‘The will to pay is hereditary, just as much as red
hair or buck teeth. It is a common fallacy that a
man pays his debts because he has money. This is
not necessarily true. the contrary, the matter of
paying has only a remote relation to money.
‘On the one hand is your friend with abundance of
money, who can not be cajoled, threatened, beaten or
gassed into paying the most grdinary debt.
“On the other hand, the poor fellow without a visi
ble dollar —you know him —who is Johnny on the
Invoice, Money has little to do with either case. It
is the breed of the men.
“The man who pays is the man who thinks in ad
vance. He never flashes a roll; he does not drive a
car and carry a mortgage at the same time; s he does
not hang up the butcher grocer for food that he
cannot afford to eat. He never lights the fire without
wondering where the coal man gets ofT. He never
throws the “bull” nor pitches the bluff, nor gives
notes, nor whites checks dated tomorrow, but when
the bills come in he i there with the coin of the
realm, God bless him!
“Sometimes he feels sore at the rest of us. He
does not see that he gets on any better than the fel
low who skins as he goes. Still he goes on and on,
pays and pays, simply because It is in the breed.
“And after all, the World does tbtok a lot of his
breed. The man who pays is the bulwark of society.
He is the balance wheel of civilization. He is the
mainspring of commerce. Business blesses him and
he has honor among men for all time.”

ening but, like a coward, it never did shoot. —Alpha-

She shot alright the first of this week, George.
O
The Ninth District Press boys will be asked to Al
pharetta one of these fine times. And when we get
'em here we- shall take them in Fors up to Dahlonega
and show them our highway and Uncle Bill Town
send.—Alpharetta Free Press.
