The editor of the Pahlonega Nugget says that the newspapers are just on the eve of killing a lot of boll weevils. • _0 The man who does not and cannot save money, cannot and will not do anything else worthwhile.— Andrew Carnegie.

Rather something ought to be done to bring the ex penditures Of the state' down to its income. 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. •—Commerce News Sunset and evening star. And one clear call to me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. For rho' irons out our bourn of Time ami Place The floods may bear me far, 1 hope to set 1 m.v pilot fale to face, Wlidn 1 have crossed the lwr. • —Tennyson. O Trees. The following beautiful poem was written by Joyce Kilmer, an American soldier, who now sleeps in France. * 1 tJUjnk that 1 shall never set' 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; j Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. are made by fools like me, only God can make a tree. . ’ 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. The above is a small folder issued by the Winder National Bank, which we think should bo read by nil our subscribers. o Georgia’s creamery industry is growing. Barrow county should got into this? Business at once. O 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. . .

PRATT Bush Building Winder, Ga. 1899 1923 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.
