* IT WOULD BE A HAPPY '
CONDITION
We went through the mill sec
tion of Winder a few days ago as
well as through other industrial
parts of the city.
Most of these plants were, idle
and not running.
We could not help thinking
over conditions now as compared
to tjiose of twelve months ago, and
why such changes had taken place
in so short a time, in a country fa
vored above all others and in
which all classes who make an ef
fort should prosper and he con
tented.
Why not everyone of these in
dustries at work, giving employ
ment to the hundreds needing
work to feed and clothe and stop
unrest and discontent ¥
What a happy condition this
would be. and a condition for
which we all hope and pray for
in this world which is still out of
joint and has not solved the prob
lems which make for its advance
ment and betterment.
There is something yet radically
wrong in our economic form of
government, there is something
yet we do not understand and do
not comprehend, which impedes
our progress, which results in in
equalities, which causes sorrow,
disappointment and discontent
and the many other evils afflict
ing our civilization.
Statesmen and philosophers of
all ages have endeavored to find
out what should he done as reme
dial agencies in removing those
evils and inequalities affecting Im
munity and bring about that uto
pian age when all mankind would
have equal opportunities, when all
men would prosper and the uni
verse be fitted for an ideal dwel
ling place.
Whether this will ovor bo ac
complished, whether it can bo ac
complished is a matter none of
us know, hut as tilings now appear
it will 1)0 thousands of yoars in the
future and in a period when greod
and selfishness shall havo banish
ed and when men shall havo ad
vanced and evoluted to a state of
living far remote from the one
we now enjoy.

The lawyer who takes advan
tage of financial conditions to get
big fees, encourages litigation,
tries to prevont settlements, which
if made, would prevent wreck and
ruin and enable individuals and
industries to get on their feet and
finally pay investors dollar for
dollar, has fallen far below the es
timate accorded the profession oi
law, and is as much a robber as the
man who outers your home at
night and takes from you all your
moucy and other offeets.
Making all your supplies is Tory
essential to the independence of
all farmers, but this is not consol
ing right at this timo to the farmer
who has failed to adopt this policy
and has no corn, meat and other
things needod.

DO THE JOB WITH ENERGY
There is a whole lot in the old
saying that what you believe a
thing to be, is what it is. There
fore, to believe that business con
ditions are improving despite the
unsatisfactory prices brought by
nany crops last lear will help us
•ather than hinder us.
The following New Year resolu.
tions are suggested for this and ev
ery New Year by Mr. C. M. Mason
of the Hyatt Roller Bearing Com
pany:
1. That 1 will not participate in
pesssimistic gossip regarding busi
ness condition.
2. That I will keep silent rather
than add momentum to unfounded
rumors of discouragement.
3. That I will consider the prob
lem of readjustment as a personal
problem.
4. That 1 will do the job in hand
with energy and enthusiasm.
5. That I will think more of the
day’s work than of the day’s pay.
6. That even under the most try
ing conditions, I will not allow my
self t.o lose sight of the fact that
America is the greatest country in
the whole world—that American
industry will always survive!
These are good and let us try to
profit by them, because what we
believe has a most wonderful in
fluence over what we are and
what we have. Just remember
that the optimist sees the dough-j
nut and the pessimest sees only
the hole in the doughnut.—Pro
gressive Fanner.

It seems that preachers get into
trouble occasionally the same as

The only hope for bettering con.

The big lire in Athens Monday
night resulted in the loss of pro
perty running into several hun
dred thousand dollars and a great
blow to that thriving city.
If every man would so live aud

good there would never bo any
hard times and no groaning and
doepless nights.

The question frequently comes
to one’s mind these days—what

MAKE AN INVENTORY
A few years ago a young man
purchased a farm’ and borrowed
money to carry him through the
first year. At the end of three
yearss lie still had to borrow mon
ey for his next yoar’s operations,
lie became very much discouraged
to think that nftor three jrears he
had not been able to accumulate
enough money to carry him with
put borrowing. $9 be went to
his banker, and fold him that since
lie was Suable to make any head
way he thought it best to sell out
and try something else.
The banker knew that this
young man was a hard worker and
that something was wrong some-

EUROPEAN RELIEF FUND
The county collections for the
tarving babies of Europe and Ar
neuia are coming in slowly. Only
one-half of the quota for Barrow
County, which is SI,OOO, has so far
been received. The committee
desirea to publish a compltet list
next week of all the Sunday
schools and societies that have hel
ped, with the amount contributed,
and so it is urged that these col
lections be reported n °t later than
Monday, the end of the month, to
Mr. M. C. Wiley, treasurer,.
Gifts may be directed to Europe,
Armenia or China. There is ur
gent and terrible need! The
money already collected has been
forwarded to headquarters, but
the books of the treasurer are still
open and further contributions
will be received.
Where. So lie begn to ask a few
questions.
“How many head of cattle do
you have?” was one of the first
questions.
“About 15”, the young man an
swered.
“What are they worth?”
“I reckon I could get about
SSOO for them.”
How many did you have when
you started in out there?”
“None.”
“How many hogs do you have?”
“I’ve got two sows, about 15
good-sized slioats and a litter of
young pigs.”
“How many hogs did you have
when you started in?”
“None.”
“Since buying out there you’ve
added two rooms to the house,
haven’t you?”
“Yes.” ■ ’T*
“And you have built a barn and
fenced most of the place, cleared
two good fields, put in little or
chard, bought anew wagon and
some plows, haven’t you?”
“Yea.” cv’
"Well now really, don’t you
think that in the three years you
hero boon there, that you hare ac
cumulated close to $3,000 that is
invosted in livestock and improve
ment*. Young man, I consider
that you’ve done well. I would
advise you to keep that farm.
The man referred to above had
become discouraged because he
had not been taking a farm inven
tory or list of farm property each
year. He could not see &hy ac
cumulation of cash and therefore
thought lie had made nothing.
Let’s make a list of our farm
property this week or next. Let’s
write things down in black and
whitc ; gat the whole list before us
and see what WC have. Then
next year wo will have something
to Compare with our new list.
And as the years go by I am con
fident we shall place an increas
ing value on the farm inventory.

'YOU CANT DODGE IT
ONCE IN AWHILE YOUR
BLOOD CLOGS AND YOUR
VITALITY RUNS DOWN.
You’ll Pick Up Again Quickly
With Plenty of Red Blood
Corpuscles.
Physicians nowadays take a
blood test when you are run down.
They count the red corpuscles in
your blood. If these are too few
they give you a tonic for your
blood. It happens right along.
They are always on the lookout
for indications of weak blood.
Why? Because they know
when yocr blood is weak your re
sistance to disease is low. Your
vitality and energy quickly run
down.
You can tell when your blood is
weak. You look pale, feel tired.
You are not ill, but don’t feel
•iglit. You don’t want to do
things. That is the time to take
the well-known tonic, Pepto-Man
gan.
Pepto-Mangan builds red blood
corpuscles. Physicians have pre
scribed it for thirty years.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid
and tablet form. The medicinal
value is exactly the same. Take
either kind you prefer. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-
Mangan—"Gude’s.” The full
name, “Gude’s” Pepto-Mangan,”
shocld be on the package.
