Man’s powers are limitless.
His failures are duo to his lack
of energy or to ilia resignation of lib
purposes liefore they are completed.
If pursued with hope and confidence
and energy there is no reasonable
thing he cannot accomplish.
This idea of cours \ is a truism, and
the human race is so accustomed to
hearing it ( nuneiated that its true sig
liidcnnee is generally passed oyer and
Inst. But this is no reason why great
truths should he laid to rest. It is no
reason why fads and foolishness and
only ‘ new" things should usurp the
throne of reason and occupy all the
time and talent of our generation.
Tim Athenians made this mistake and
life si Athens wore itself to a frazzle
endeavoring to discover “something
new,” J great man has said that lie
was suspicious of anything not eight
een hundred years old, and he was
certainly anchored in a safe principle
if not altogether a progressive one.
There is nothing new under the sun,
and whatsoever may he turned In ac
count in the true progress oT the race is
founded in the truisms and the noted
facts of long standing. lienee, it is
our privilege and duty to eont’nue to
teach the world the old things. One
good old fashion truth well inculcated
stirs the powers aid guides the ener
gies of a hoy or girl moie than all
the tads of the Nineteenth century.
Fads are fmperlieial and play upon
*
ll Vancics, while truth is fundamen
tal and digs into tin- depthsof the soul.
Out of tin- deep Wells of soul conic
the powers that give mail prestige
over creation, lie was created to
rule over the earth and he may he
master of it all if he will hut use his
powers and persist in his efforts. ll
is well for the youth to know this and
it is better that man should not forget
it. Forgotten truth is hardly better
than unlearned truth.

There is a vast difference between

If Grover Cleveland were it.fallible

The richest man in the world is said

$1,210 This was the foundation of

$310,<520,000.
Capt. Eli K. Wilcox is a candidate
for the legislature from Telfair county.
Of all the men we know in the world
there is not one on whom we should
more delight to see this honor b 'stowed.
He is an honest man and a Christian
gentleman and would do honor to any
community. The Telfair Enterprise
iu a complimentary editorial says this
of him : “It has often been said that
when a man runs for office, that some
one will find something to tell on him
that is detrimental to his character
but we are sure that there lives not
the man in this good old county of
Telfair, who can truthfully bring one
single charge against the man whose
name heads this article.”
