A Good Name.
THAT a good name is of great value to any one is
clearly shown on many occasions. Not long ago
we were sitting in the court room when an old negro,
who seemed to be seventy-five years of age was being
tried upon some liquor charge. Ills prosecutor was
a young negro nmn who lmd an unsavory name. The
old negro bore a fine reputation in his community as
was evidenced by the testimony of several white men.
The veracity and reputations of the two negroes were
pitted against each other. In such a contest the old
negro won out easily and was acquitted. “A good
name is rather to be chosen than great riches,” though
the most of our race would prefer otherwise.
We’ll Vote For Peach County
TAKING into consideration that Georgia has been
making new counties for the past fifteen years,
we < i e no reason why Peach county should he de
feated. The reasons for said new county are just
as good as for many others that have been establish
ed. Inasmuch as we voted for the creation of Brant
ley, Long, Lanier and Seminole counties we can’t
bring ourselves to vote against a far better proposition
now. There will be no peace in that section until
anew county is established. The legislature voted
for it by a two-thirds majority, the people of Hous
ton county have voted for it by large majorities, and
we are in favor of letting them have what they want.
O
An Average Citizen
WHAT is an average citizen? It is one who loves
his home, keeps his own yard clean and beautiful,
uses every effort for the improvement of his city, ex
pects better things in the future for his town, upholds
the schools and churches, and never misses an op
portunity to speak a good word for his town and sec
tion. Are you an average citizen of Winder?
O
Too Much Politics.
The Augusta Chronicle notes that there is complaint
in South Carolina,of “too much time given to politics”,
and there are those in that state who are asking for
relief. One newspaper thinks it is a reflection on the
people that they should “consume more time and en
ergy in electing a governor and other state officers
than many men do in earning a living.”
Georgia is down with the same complaint, and, as
the Chronicle says, there is a sentiment in the state
against too many elections. “Election of state house
officers every four years and sessions of the legislature
every two years—or four years—have a great many
followers on this side of the river,” says our Augusta
contemporary.
In tiiis connection The News would state than Hon.
W. B. Parks, Vepresentative of Terrell county in the
legislature, has expressed an intention to introduce
at the next session of the general assembly a bill to
fix the term of the governor at four years and make
him ineligible for re-election. There should and no
doubt will be very little opposition to such legislation.
Political campaigns, with their wrangles and animos
ities, are entirely too frequent in Georgia.—Dawson

O
Do Your Own Thinking
THE brain in your head is the result of hundreds
of thousands of years of evolution and ed
ucation on this earth.
That brain is given you that you may DECIDE FOR
YOURSELF what is true, what is false, what is im
portant and what is unimportant.
About one man in a thousand actually uses, in form
ing opinions, the thinking power, the power of dis
crimination, that is given to him.
The other nine hundred and ninety-nine simply go
along old, beaten paths. Where others bow low,
THEY bow low, where others look scornful, THEY
look scornful.
Most of us think and act more like sheep than like
men. One sheep at the head uses bis pretty feeble
brain and the others do what he does.
Asa result, we are not ready for new ideas when
they come. We art* not ready to recognize real ge
nius when it appears.
And it is true today, as it was when Emerson wrote,
that every man bringing to the world a message worth
while is misunderstood because of our stupid rever
ence for the past and our dullness to new truths.
Pythagoras was misunderstood and Socrates and
Jesus and Luther and Corpernicus and Galileo and
Newton and every pure and wise spirit that ever took
flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
Don’t let other people form your opinions for you.
Don’t accept your opinions ready made like a pair
of rubber boots.
Men that have succeeded owe their success to the
fact that they refused to take difficulties for granted,
to take opinions for granted, or to take CONDI
TIONS for granted. They determined to decide things
for themselves. They found new ways, they found
new possibilities, they added their names to the list
that have done something.
Keep DOUBT in your mind always. We give you
below a quotation to paste up. It was supplied by
Bolinghroke, a man of wonderful ability, almost a
great man—the individual who supplied the pliiloso
phieal thought wit.h which Pope seasoned his poetry.
He knew enough to appreciate the value of original
thought and research; he knew that doubt is essen
tial to knowledge, and he put it well. This is what
he said:
"Doubt is the key of knowledge. He who never
doubts never examines. lie who never examines
discovers nothing. He who discovers nothing is
blind and will remain so.’”
As long as you live. DOUBT. Question, deny, veri
fy. Re able to say: "I think so, BECAUSE 1 HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT IT. I admire him, BECAUSE
I HAVE STUDIED HIS LIFE.”
“Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be
opened unto you.”
“PROVE all things. Hold fast that which is good.”
These are two texts for those that may desire Bib
lical sanction for man’s chief intellectual quality,
DOUBT.. —Atlanta Georgian.
