One Atlanta bank spends $50,000 per year adver

The islitor of the Camilla Enterprise tells a tale o£

Uncle John Shannon lias moved ills paper down
next door to the First National Hank. That’s the best
business stroke Uncle John ever made. To bo next

jokecthat bus lieen going the rounds about the churches
In a cert ain city. It was said of this town that the
Synagogue was down by the bank, tln* Episcopalian
church was down near the theater, the Baptist church
was over by the creek, the Methodist church was up
dost* to the gas plant and the Presbyterian church up
close to the Ice Plant. Now Uncle John, don't fail to
let the world know that you are down by the First
National Bank." It would be a good idea to put it on
your stationery in big typo. It is very essential that
.people that you would buy from on credit know that
you are next door to the bank.—Lavonia Times.
O
Cotton Factories in The South
WE noticed a news item in the daily press recently
from a North Carolina town which stated that
northern cotton interests are ready to place In the
south from 500,000 to 1,000,000 spindles, which at a
conservative estimate would represent investments of
tt least $100,000,000, if southern mill owners will agree
to take over and operate the plants.
Tliis proves that the south is not only to be great
cotton growing section of the world, but that she is
to manufacture this cotton into goods. Now is a
mighty good time for Winder to get in touch with the
cotton factories of the north and show how well sit
naUsi we are for the cotton mill industry. This is a
line subject for our new chamber of commerce to
®t*t interested in. .
Seed Time and Harvest
SEEEL) time for 1923 will soon be here. Farmers
are already planning the acreage they will put
in each crop. Each farmer should plan his opera
tions year after year in such a way as to make for
his financial independence. We can never become
independent as long as it Is necessary for us to buy
on credit. We should arrange to grow plenty of food
during this year for man and beast. If we planted
a good wheat and out crop last fall, well and good.
These crops will help out wonderfully this year. A
good acreage in corn this year, with plenty of hogs
to kill next winter means food for all on the farm.
A good garden should not be neglected, and an or
chard of all kinds of fruits will help, wonderfully in
making life pleasant on the farm.
A good milk cow with plenty of chickens and eggs
help wonderfully in furnishing the table with good,
wholesome food. All of our food should be raised
on the farm. Things that cannot he raised on the
farm should lie bought with the products of the land.
We should take no money from our cotton crop with
which to buy food.
After provisions have lieen made for plenty of food
stuffs for the farm, then plant on good land as much
cotton as can he cared for under boll weevil con
ditions. Fertilize it well, work it fast, watch after
the boll weevils, economize in every way possible,
and resolve to get on your feet. We can do what we
make up our minds positively to do.
The News wishes every farmer in this section a
great year. May you prosper and may tiie gloom that
lias pervaded our section during the past two years be
driven away by the determined and energetic efforts
of us all.
When We Do Our Best
AS a rule, we never do our best until we face the
worst. When conditions are good we never put
forth our best efforts. Prosperity never pulls out of
us our best thoughts, our greatest energy. It takes
adversity to make a man do his best. And it must
he the worst kind of adversity, too. The following
story illustrates how it takes the worst to make a
man do his best:
A man was crossing a pasture when an infuriated
hull rushed across the field to attack him. 14’ realiz
ed that it would take fast running to reach the fence
,niid get over it before the mad beast caught him. He
ran, and he thought he was doing ids best. After
running a hundred yards, he looked back and saw that
the hull was gaining on him and that he must run
faster if he reached tiie fence in safety. He ran a
little faster. Glancing back again he realized that he
must run still faster to escape the mad animal. He
ran faster still. When in about fifty yards of the
fence lie began to feel the horns of the mad bull play
ing with his coat tail. Not until then did he do his
best. And he reached the fence in safety.
Not many men, as we said before, are going to do
their best until they face the worst. They must be
crowed to the last notch. This is why adverse con
ditions come. This is why we are confronted wita
things that some times knock us down. However, we
need not be discouraged. When we do our best we
can always reach the pluce of safety ahead of the
trouble. The great thing is to do our best. When men
learn to do their best without being forced to do so,
they are not so often placed in distressing circumstan
ces.
O
Mrs. Marie Louise Myrick breaks a silence of fifteen
years to say, that since practically all the negroes in
■Savannah voted for Seabrook, the independent, who
defeated the nominee, it is now up to tiie said Sea
brook to remember said negroes when juice is distrib
uted. it takes a woman to Hit the nail right slap dab
on tiie head.—Commerce News.
Mrs. Myrick lias a son who was a strong supporter
of Stewart for Mayor of Savannah. Of course she is
soiv on account of Seal)rook's election. However, we
think Savannah did a fine tiling when she kicked out
the crowd that has been running things in that city
for the past years. Many of the finest citizens of Sa
vannah were behind Seabrook. ,
