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. O Harvey P. Harrison is now editor of the Conyers Times. He has been connected with the paper in the past, and we congratulate him on his promotion. He is getting out a splendid paper. O 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. % . O 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 get. o 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. —Coffee County Progress. Young Men!

Saul $ and you will be as sured of style and price 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.

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. o The biggest bumper crop of watermelons will be here to greet the Georgia newspaper editors when they come in July. And the chickens will be ripe, too. Quitman Free Press. YVe’re going to have a “guardeen” appointed for Shannon, of Commerce, and Shack, of Lexington, be fore they leave home.
