OF INTEREST IN THE
SOCIAL REALM
THE TEST.
What is failure? It’s only a spur
To a man who receives it right,
And it makes the spirit within him
stir
To go in once more and fight.
If you never have failed its an even
guess
You never have won a high success.
What is a miss? Its a practice shot
Which we often must make to enter
The list of those who can hit the spot
Of the bull’s eye in the center.
If you never have sent your bullet wide
You never have put a mark inside.
What is a knock-down? A count of
ten
Which a man may take for a rest,
It will give him a chance to come up
again
-And do his particular best.
If you’re never been bumped in a rat
tling go,
Yqu never have come to the scratch,
I know.
—Edmund Vance Cook.

DR. HARDMAN WAS
VISITOR WEDNESDAY
Candidate For Governor
Met Voters And Will
Speak Here Later
Dr. L. G. Haidman, of Com
merce, candidate for governor,
was a distinguished visitor to
the city Wednesday, coming over
from McDonough and Hampton
where he spoke Tuesday. Dr.
Hardman was accompanied by
his campaign manager, Mr. W.
B. Rice, of Commerce.
They spent an hour or two in
the city meeting and talking
with the voters. Dr. Hardman
had planned to make an address
here Tuesday afternoon but it
became necessary to change his
plans later. He made a distinct
ly favorable impression upon all
those whom he met and a num
ber of the voters are insistent
that Dr. Hardman return to
Jackson and make an address at
some future time. This he has
promised to do.
Dr. Hardman has a number of
warm supporters in Butts, which
is conceded to Judge Nat Harris
of Bibb county. It is likely his
friends will organize here in the
near future and that they will
put up a fight to carry the coun
ty for the Jackson county states
man. All who know Dr. Hard
man and are acquainted with his
record speak of him in the most
complimentary way. His record
is one of constructive legislation
and he is a gentleman without a
stain.
From Jackson Dr. Hardman
went to Monticello where he
spoke to the voters of Jasper and
surrounding counties at 11
o’clock.

GEORGIA GIRLS FIRST
AT THE G. N. & I. C.
In the roll of the 781 students
at the Georgia Normal & Indus
trial College at Milledgeville, for
the past year, not a single name
appears of a student from out
side the state of Georgia.
Georgia girls were admitted
first and there was no room for
more.
There is no law against the ad
mission of a student from anoth
er state, but President M. M.
Parks has announced that it is
the policy of the institution to
give preference to Georgia girls
and hence, with the great num
ber of applications on file all stu- 1
dents from other states are 4
crowded out.
The- record of last year is re-'
markable. It is rather unusual
for a college to have all students
from one state and none from ’
outside the state borders. The
Georgia Normal & Industrial.
College at Milledgeville has made
a unique record in its patriotic
and wholehearted service to
the state.
