a good sign.

The Game of Life.
Homo editor up in Kentucky recently made the
statement that a man who does not accumulate enough
money by the time he is forty-five years old to retire
is a failure. The man who made this statement hap
so thoroughly subordinated his life to money as to
miss its meaning entirely. Money is not the true meas
urement of life. Some of the greatest ltenefaetors
that the world has ever had were not money makers.
Christopher Columbus is easily the world’s great
est benefactor, and he was always a poor man. Among
the world's great workers are the preachers and the
teuchers. None of them ever accumulated much
money.
Many of the world's greatest characters were use
ful and serviceful long after they were forty-five,
and we do not remember them because they were fi
nanciers but because of the great public service they
rendered humanity.
A successful life is measured more by what it has
been worth to humanity than by the amount of money
it has gathered together.

The Quittaian Free Press states it hoard a man say
the other day that he had to get a shave and put on
a clean collar before going to vote in the school
election because the ladies were at the polls. It used
to he that a man would take a drink before going
to tlje polls.

Brother McWhorter, of The Winder News, don't
seem to realize that the editor of the Nugget is a
mind reader, which enables him to keep posted about
what is happening around and about either day or
night. Any editor can learn how to gain this infor
mation by sleeping in his breeches. —Dahlonega Nug

They had a “Barrow County Products” dinner at
Winder last Monday and 1400 plates were served.
The dinner was prepared and served by the Woman’s
club of Winder. Besides getting some splendid ad
vertising for Barrow county products the ladies of
the town made them some good money. Why can’t
we stage something like that down here? Surely if
they can get up enough for a well rounded dinnep
in North Georgia we people down here in God’s coun
try could have a regular feast without half trying.

THE WINDER NEWS
An Absurd Ruling.
*
We do not understand why Secretary of State
McLendon should interfere with the law governing
the purchase of tags. Just when the sheriffs of the
state had the public notified that they must purchase
tags by March Ist. and the public was yielding obe
dience to this law, along comes Mr. McLendon and
tells the people they need not buy their tags until
April Ist. And many of them have been waiting to
gee if he would not give them null May Ist. Asa
resul. cf this ruling the people become careless about
buying their tags, and the burden of enforcing this
law falls upon the sheriffs of the state.
If Mr. McLendon would just keep his mouth closed,
ami let the law l>e enforced as it was passed by the
legislature, the public would know exactly what to
expect and much less trouble would be experienced
by our sheriffs in enforcing the law.
O
Nagging: Public Utilities
The people of Georgia are beginning to see the
results of the nagging of public utilities that has been
carried on in the past by shallow and designing
politicians. In the past the open road to success,
politically, was to abuse the railroads. The politi
cians inflamed the minds and the spirit of enmity was
kindled between the two parties. Each was distrust
ful of the other.
Asa result of this nagging, the railroads of the
state are now gasping for breath and many of the
short lines will eventually be junked. Even the trunk
lines are hardly making ends meet. And, yet, rail
roads have done more to develop our state and to bring
prosperity and wealth to our people than any other
agency in our midst. They have opened up every
section of the state, and our lands have been settled
pnd dotted with thriving communities because of the
railroads. While the railroads were doing this great
work, shallow politicians were nagging them and rid
ing into office by their abuse of these public benefac
tors. We are now realizing the result of this nagging
spirit.
The same spirit is now being turned towards the
companies that are engaged in developing our water
powers over the state. If the public listens to these
howlers woe unto our progress. Between the ele
ment which clamors for government or municipal
ownership and that which seeks to use the utilities as
an instrument upon which to play for votes, these
agencies have a rough and rugged road to travel.
Capital is already becoming fearful of the conse
quences and when money withdraws from public util
ities and these things are left in the hands of the av
erage politician, may God have mercy upon us as a
people.

You and Your City.
Do you owe your city anything? If you do.' pay it.
You may have paid your taxes, your house rent,
your water and light bills and your church assess
ment. and in doing so you may think you have liqui
dated all claims there are against you; but there
are others that need your attention. Is your city
thrifty? Are the streets clean, well paved and well
lighted? Is there a systematic effort to make your
city beautiful? What about your park and its
shrubbery? Are your houses neatly painted, the lawns
well-kept, the alleys free from litter and refuse, and
are the people contented and happy? If they are not,
and if the surroundings are not as clean and beauti
ful as they should be. your debt to your city has not
been paid ; for you have neglected to raise your voice
for a better and a higher standard of municipal econ
omy. Think it over, fellow citizens. We all owe it
to ourselves and our city to make our environment
as beautiful and sanitary as possible, not only for our
own good, but for the benefit of the city in which we
live and raise our families. —Covington News.
O
The Basis of Credit.
Asa rule a man’s credit is based on his material*
possessions. But personal character and worth large
ly determines a man’s credit where he is known. The
man who has established a reputation for paying his
debts, though his possessions be few, will find that he
can always get credit. And credit is a valuable as
set to every man in his business. No man can do a
successful business of any size without good credit.
Hence every man is very foolish when he becomes
careless about his obligations. Not only is he losing
credit with those with whom he deals, but he is losing
personal worth and character, which is worth far more
than any amount that he may owe his creditor. If
we all realized that when we are untrue to our obli
gations we pay for it in manhood and character, we
would be more careful about neglecting our promises.
No man can become a strong, successful charadp 1
until he reaches that state of mind of holding sacred
every obligation that he assumes.
YVe need in this country a revival of the spirit of
meeting our obligations. When this spirit is restored
prosperity will again come our way.
