We don’t take much stock in Darwin’s theory of
evolution, but if there is anything to it, we are rath
er inclined to the belief that man descended from a
fish rather than a monkey, and that in many eases,
a shark certainly figured in the ancestry.—Dahlon
•ega Nugget.
Mr. A. 11. Thompson, one of LaGrange’s leading
citizens, in a letter to the Atlanta Constitution of
recent date, is exactly right when he says: “With
out any reflection on the good intention of those
■advocates of bonds, it is hardly probable that such
an amendment to the constitution would have the
slightest chance of receiving the approval of the
people, even if it were submitted by the legislature."
Talk about the drives, but don't forget that this
is an age of gifts. When a couple marries, you must
send a gift—an expensive one. When the first child
is born, you must sdnd another. At every birthday,
another. When graduation day comes, another.
When death comes, another, this time, with flowers.

A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy anus to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

The Old Flower Man.
Once he was prominent iu manufacturing—dealt
with large afTairs. People showed him great re
spect then; and they buy from him today, as he
peddles flowers, out of respect of what he was.
What brought him down?
Nothing brought him dowtn. He was not pulled
down; he sank. He was not dissipated; he is not
lazy. His short comings are negative. He is down
because he failed to use a tiling which would have
kept him up.
He tiegan as one of the workmen in a cotton mill.
He earned five dollars a week at first-ami he sjM'rit
it .But he was industrious, intelligent and anxious
to please. s<> he was soon getting ten dollars a week
arid spending if. In a few years he was foreman,
earning thirty-five dollars a week —which he spent.
Finally he became superintendent of the mill at
a salary of four thousand dollars a year; and at the
end of the year he was just a little surprised to
find that he had nothing left out of what he had
earned. It occurred to him several times during
the year that he should save something; but then
he had always wanted a fine watch; and a chance
came akmg to buy a span of mettlesome horses
which he loved tin drive; so saving was postponed.
He fully intended to save during the second year,
but now the idea of what was due to his positioci in
life began to occupy his mind. People expect cer
tain things of the superintendent of a big mill and he
did not like to dissappoint them. He was expected
to dress well and to live well; si) he spent a good
part of his earnings on these important matters; and
other things came along to consume the ltalance of
his salary, almost before he knew it.
During the fifth year of his super to tendency, his
salary was raised to $5,000. The mill had pros
pered steadily, and the owners were generous to
the men who managed the enterprise. One day it
occurred to this man that the time for saving was
Ht hand; but, after reflection, he decided to put it
off until tin* mext year. He bad worked for a good
many years now, always with increasing success.
Every few years a raise hail come. He decided he
would spend what! he was making that, year, but
that next year, if his salary was again advanced, he
could begin to save.
The next year brought the panic of IS9:{. After
running at a loss for p few months, the mill shut
down. Salaries were paid for the year, but the
superintendent was notified during the following
January that lie would be allowed but sl<M) a month
until tiro mill could run again. This seemed so un
reasonable and so unfair to him that he resigned.
He sought employment with his pockets empty'
a poor way to seek if. you will admit. His pride
and his necessity forced him to go among strangers
to hunt for work. When lie found it, it was as a
mechanic at $lO a # week.
Asa result of its financial troubles, the mill was
finally sold. When it reopened, years later, it was
under anew management which did not even know
the old superintendent. His prestige was gone; his
pride Broken.
He drifted back a few years ago, too old to work
as a mechanic. A friend with a garden gave him
shelter. Now lie jteddles flowers from that garden
a stooped, broken old man. a monument to his own
folly, a terrible example of wasted opportunity; a
warning to all who might save, hut fail to-do so.

National Bank, which we think should bo read by
nil our subscribers.

Let Us Welcome Outside Capital
Georgia lias been in the hands of politicians long
enough. The time lias come when, instead of abus
ing capital, we must welcome it with open arms and
enact such laws as will invite it into our state
for investment. Politics lms been the absorbing
theme in our state in the past. We have gotten
wrought up during political campaigns, and torn our
shirts for this man or that one, when the only thing
at stake was the personal election of one of the
candidates. It is time for ns to quit this foolish
ness aiud give ourselves to the practical field of in
dustry and sane endeavor.
“We must create conditions in this state that will
attract new Industries and capital for the develop
ment of its natural resources,” says The Bulletin
issued by the Utilities Information Committee of
Georgia, and the Bulletin is righfi We believe
Georgians are aroused and that a system of taxation
will be evolved that will He fair to the farmers, fair
to all lines of business and that will make Georgia
an inviting field for the' investment of capital.
if we e-ould lanel a million dollar manufacturing
plant in Wiueler, it would mean money in the pock
ets of every farmer and every merchant. It would
add to the* Business eif our banks. Every line 1 e>f *n
deavor would feel its presence, and our county would
take' a tremendous stride towards prosperity. These*
are the tilings that should interest us rather than
politie'al race's out of which our pe*e>ple have never
gotten a cent.
Again quoting from the Bulletin, “Georgia is tired
of. politics and trivial questions. Georgia wants ac
tion on matters of vital importance t.o herself. She
wants her industries enlarged and expanded. She
wants her agricultural re'sonrecs exploited. She
wants prisperity for all her people. And she is de
termined to get it.”
The editor of the News has always been opposed
to public ownership of public utilities. Such a
course always puts these factors that are so vital
to our prosperity in the hands of politicians, and
politicians are only interested in their own political
advancement. Of course, private capital demands
a profit when it Is invested, and it should have it.
But if Georgia will on act such laws as will invite
capital into our midst, the hum of industry will be
heard, our people will have plenty of work to do at
remunerative wages, and the gaunt spectre of pov
erty and financial distress will be banished from our
midst. . .

The Workings of a Bank
k
BANKS came with civilization. They have grown with civilization. With the earlier
forms of industry and trade came the early forms of banking. At first it was a
side line to other business. The goldsmiths began it because they were prepared to
keep gold and silver in safety, and all the money was in gold and silver then. Later
merchants undertook it as a branch of their affairs. Finally it became wliat it is to
day—tlie business that guards and feeds and develops every other business.
FEW people understand all the workings of a laink. Most people think of it as a
place where you may leave your money, to lie paid out upon checks whenever you
wish to use it. But a bank renders many services beside receiving deposits and paying
checks. People should know what these services are and why it renders them. Their
banks will become more useful when they understand them better.
YOU will understand the bank better when you consider the full scope of its work.
It is like the city reserVoir in which many drops of water that were once scattered
are first gathered together and then sent through the factories and stores and dwellipgs
of the city to render useful service. It is like the power station, where water that
was running to waste or lumps of coal were rendering no service, are transformed into
power that moves the wheels of the mills and the cars, and carries light and energy into
stores and homes.
you will understand the bank better when you understand that if a thousand people
-J* carried their spare money around in their pockets it would do them very little good,
because no one of them would have enough to operate a factory or conduct a store. But
if each of them placed his surplus money in a bank, the hank could lend a part of it
to the manufacturers, a part to the merchants, and a part to the farmers, and that
would mean more manufacturing, more agriculture, and more commerce—the things
which bring prosperity to every one who lives in the conjunities.
|X later folders we will tell you some of the useful things which money does when it is
* brought out of idleness and put to work by the bank. We will tell you also how the
Wank can help you; and how you can help the bank. But all these tilings depend upon
the fact that a dollar in the pocket or hidden about the house is an idle dollar; while
a dollar in the bank is a dollar at work.
