For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.—Mark 8:34, 35. o There’s plenty of room at the bot tom, —of these bell bottom trousers and the ladder, too. o The only time the poor pedestrian has the right of way now is when the ambulance starts to the hospital with him. .—o While the school children rejoice that vacation has arrived, we want to remind them that school opens in exactly 96 days. o Not having thought of anything to say about that luscious buttermilk for this week we refrain from men tioning the subject. o “If scant apparel makes for long life, some of the dear women are go ing to live a mighty long time,” quoth* old Joseph Jones. o Old Joe Jones says that before marriage many a man tells a girl he can’t do enough for her, and after marriage she finds out that he was telling her the truth. o Every newspaper in the two dis tricts should send someone to rep resent them at the meeting of the Eighth-Ninth Districts Press Associa tion in Buford next Friday. o Rich And Fat. She is forty, fair and fat, Built just like a vintage vat; But he doesn’t care a bean, For her bank account’s not lean. Anderson (S. C.) Daily Mail. o Read, Mr. Merchant. This is the season when the aver age country merchant lets up in his advertising and when the mail or der house begins to get in its dead liest work. It is hard for the mer chant to understand that it pays to advertise during the summer sea son, but the mail order house knows that the best time for it to go after business is when the merchant is asleep on the job.—Walton Tribune. o Don’t Stop. When some one stops advertising Some one stops buying. When sohk' one stops buying, Some one stops selling. When some one stops selling, Some one stops making. When some one stops making, Some one stops earning. When some one stops earning, Everybody stops buying. —Anon. o The Letter “E.” Someone has said that the most unfortunate letter in the alphabet is the letter “E.” Because it is al ways out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in hell all the time. That’s quite true. Still it’s never in war, always in peace and alwavs in something to eat, and with out it there would be no health. It is the beginning of existence, com mencement of ease and the end of trouble. It is the center of honesty and always in love. It is the begin ning of encouragement and endeavor and the end of failure. It comes in life but once and is always found in heaven. o We have printed the little item be low before and don’t know to whom credit belongs, but the truth of the few lines will do to repeat over and ♦over: It is not always easy— —To begin over. —To apologize. To admit error. —To be unselfish. To take advice. —To be charitable. —To keep trying. —To think and then act. —To be considerate. —To profit by mistakes. —To forgive and forget. —To shoulder a deserved blame.

Leora M. Jones, in Elberton Star. o GOOD TIMES COMING America is on the long pull to wards prosperity, in spite of the fact that some of the world is “upside down.” This year is going to be a prosperous year for the farmers, as well as for the business world. Em ployment in general is better now than it has been in some time. Con struction is booming. Transporta tion facilities are improving. The railroads are buying new cars, new locomotives and making many re pairs. We have all been signally blessed. Five months, or nearly one-half of 1925, have passed. Conditions are much better than they were Janu ary Ist. America’s most influential and keenest business men predict that 1925 wil be a prosperous year for all of us. Let’s pin our opti mism to th egood business nearly all of us are now doing, and make this year “Nineteen Plenty-Five.” o STONE MOUNTAIN COINS The Stone Mountain memorial coins will soon be on the market, and a campaign for the sale of them will be started. Every citizen should want to pos sess one of these “medals of honor,” for it typifies that you have “done your bit,” however small, to the building of the world’s greatest mon ument; a monument that, when com pleted wil stand for centuries. And we do not doubt but what the pro ject, when completed, wil be one of the wonders of the age. The Memorial coin was authorized by the United States Government and while there may be a few Northern cynics who condemn the authoriza tion, the great mass of people in the North sanctioned the act and will buy liberally of the coins. The South appreciates this spirit, and it will cement stronger than ever the broken ties of ’65. The Sun urges that every citizen in Hartwell and Hart county “do their bit” by buying as many of these coins as they possibly can. For the completion of this great memor ial will require enormous funds. The South will not be lacking on her part; Hart county must not be lack ing on her part. —o OLD JOE JONES says— " While you are spend- • ’ 'vff ’ n ®' Y our time watch- * JaVw * n *' Y our enemies be f—. ■ careful that your ■fj * friends don’t get the best of you, too.” o Your Last Name IS IT HUBBARD? 'T'HIS is a surname derived from a A very old English personal name, the original form of which was Hyge beorht, with the meaning of bright mind. Hugh and Hubert are derived from this source. Among the surnames derived from Hygeheorht are Hubert, Hubbard, Hib bert and Hobart. A William Hubbard, born in Ips wich, England, in 1594, was the pro genitor of many of the Americans of the name. Apparently he was a Puri tan. At all events, he left home at the age of thirty-six, in 1635, to make his home in the new world. He settled in Boston. His eldest son, William, who was fourteen years old when they came to the new world, was one of the first students at Harvard and graduated fourth in the class of 1642. He was minister of the church in Ipswich. Mass., wrote a valuable his tory of Massachusetts Bay colony, and acted as president of Harvard for a short time. He married a daughter of Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, also a promi nent New England divine. Chester D. Hubbard. United States congressman from Connecticut before the Civil war, was one of his descend ants, as was Joseph S. Hubbard, a celebrated astronomer. Elbert Hubbard, of East Aurora fame, was a descendant of a George Hubbard. Englishman, who settled In Connecticut in 1620. 15 years before William Hubbard. Among the Hubbards in this country there have been many congressmen senators and governors. John Hub bard was governor of Maine, Lucius F. was governor of Minnesota. Rich ard B. Hubbard, member of a Virginia family of the name, was governor ot Texas, and a Richard D was governoi of Connecticut. In England the name is an old and distinguished one. being the family name of the first Lord Addington, born In 1805. who was the son of *' rich Russian merchant, member of an old Essex county family of Hubbard.

Could there be any hap pier feeling? The last final report sent in, the last order taken, the last letter written, the old traveling bag packed and the sample trunk ’ locked and checked. Put aside a glorious May morning. The feel of summer in the air. The flying land scape, green and full of life, as we whirl by. A country-side of restful acres and rolling meadows. With palatial country homes half-hidden away in groves of trees. Now and then, the more humble cottage with ’■ its less pretentious swank. Wherein lies more real happiness, perhaps— who knows? [ And the scrivener (myself) sits a e writing this, lolling in ease in the a club car with tobacco in easy reach s and the soothing smoke of his fellow passengers, mixing and mingling J with his perfecto, amidst«perfect sur roundings. The club car. With its sprinkling of prosperous looking men. , Men with the stamp of success on " their faces and the look of achieve ment in the cut of their clothes. Mostly old men, though, or middle aged men, whose faces have the rug s ged lines of battle, and scores of bat , ties, written upon them. The fight of years for wealth, or success over I tremendous odds, and then—, vic . tory, at last. One can read that in . these faces on such a train as this, for it is the fast, limited trains of I America that carry the big business . men. Few young faces here. Only, a chance passenger of youthful years now and then. In the air a conver sation of all sorts—, of good golf scores, of business deals, of recent I trips abroad, of the favorite show. I Two girls of the newer generation ! suddenly drift in, and very casually, and nonchalantly, light cigarettes, blowing smoke rings as expertly as -a veteran. Truly, a remarkable age. Hardly a ripple on the surface now- , adays—, women smoking. Tiring of the club car atmosphere, I drift back to my Pullman. Through innumer i able cars with every section crowded. | Men and women, and children, re turning travelers from California. Bridge-games, en route. Others, idly talking or sleeping or gazing dreamily at the flying landscape. Still, I am not content, so go on back to the observation car. Through seemingly miles of more cars. Through the dining (this train car ries two dining cars) finally to the last car—, the observation. And I sink wearily into the soft chair. And after a while am lost to my fellow passengers, watching the passing country-side that rolls in and out of view. Os green fields of growing corn whose stalks glisten in the bright sunshine. And acres of su gar-cane spreading as far as the eye can see. And now and then a little town with its one “general store” and little cottages huddled around. Then the country again. Shanties and negro cabins, whose inhabitants gaze with wide-eyed wonder at our rushing train. A saw-mill. The steady groan and whirl of the cutting saw. A lonely country road that follows the railroad track for miles and miles and then is lost to view. The frequent signs at every railroad crossing admonishing the traveler to “Stop—Louisiana Law,” for every vehicle is required to come to a dead stop at every railroad crossing. On we go. Through a country rich in historical setting. Eastward to New i Orleans. By great plantations and I through the country of bayous until ! we come to the historic Bayou Teche, ■ the rivers Mermentau, Calcasieu and I Sabine, and the bayous Sale, Cypre i mont and Vermillion, edged by mys- I terious cypress swamps, forested by moss-draped trees. Directly north I lies Acadia in the beautiful Teche country. Here are the “cajuns” of ; today, descendants of the French- 1 Canadians and kin to the Acadian , farmers of Nova Scotia who were driven from Grand Pre in 1716 and scattered to find new homes. Among I them was the beautiful Evangeline Bellefontaine, who came to Louisi , ana and whose wanderings in search of her lover, Gabriel Lajeunaesse, form the basis of Longfellow’s well known poem. Dreams! Ah! but it is nice to shut the eyes and dream ' the dreams of the past, of love and ! romance and daring deeds. Those valiant French settlers still remain t an important part of Louisiana life. > We are nearing New Orleans. Back ] again to the club car where I have a “shower” and step into freshly press ' ed clothes, due to the progressiveness of this railroad. Incidentally, in the passing, I would add that no finer 1 train exists in America today accord ing to standards of comfort, and lux- 1 ■ i The Sun Honor Roll 1 r Knox T. Thomas, Atlanta. W. R.

A fleet of thirty or forty service cars—, Fords and Cadillacs, and yellow cabs —, render speedy service. A corps of courteous drivers help to main tain a system which is both pleasing and thorough. Naturally, everybody in Austin knows of “Pattons.” When one wants a car, that is the first name thought of and this company’s repu tation for fairness and quick service has put it on an enviable plane. Which all goes to show, that no mat ter what line of endeavor one may engage in, as a life-work, brains count and the willingness to serve the public efficiently and courteously and patiently will bring its reward. That man who exclaimed, “There’s a best in every line,” spoke words of wis dom. When an industry gets to that point of efficiency that success has come, and prestige been established, immediately the public begins to ex pect more. The most varied of de mands, many unreasonable, are ask ed. The superlative in assistance rendered, is expected. Friendly co operation and aid in every form, is casually taken as a matter of form. I was sitting in “Pattons,” the taxi company I have just spoken of in Austin, the other day. The phone rang and I heard the operator give the time of the day to an inquirer. I turned in surprise. “Do you mean to say that people call up here for the time of the day?” “Do they?” she answered, smiling, “yes, to the tune of three or four hundred calls each day! Not only that but they call up and ask for every other kind of information in the world—base ball scores, train schedules, what’s on at the movies, deaths, births —, everything. Why, probably you won’t believe it, but for five years I have been waking up a lady at five o’clock, each morning, over the phone. I don’t even know her. I never even saw her. Just 5 years ago, she called this office asking that w’e ring her up at five o’clock the next morning so as to awaken her and after that she asked us to con tinue each morning, which we have done.” Truly, the demands upon success and the penalty of prestige are overwhelming. Somewhere in the book of life, it is written, “Pride goeth before de struction and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Also, that admonishment about turning the other cheek if a man slaps you. All very true, of course. But the Bible was not meant to be taken too literally. Naturally, I believe in the Bible, but I do not believe any man should curl up like a worm and let some one step on him. Nor should anyone wrongfully impose on another. Rightful pride in one’s ability, sincere belief in one’s ableness, honest measuring up of one’s qualities and faults—, those are the attributes that build character and develop manhood. I would not advocate egotistical conceit but I do believe in self-confidence. To look every man squarely in the face, un flinchingly; to believe in one’s self; to hold the head high; to hold to one’s convictions until they are prov en false and then concede the mis take; to acknowledge no superior un less it is proven. The world owes all of its progress today to men and wo men of that stamina. And to such a class belongs a lit tle girl I have in mind, in Houston. An old friend, if you please. Eyes, the reflection of the skies above; skin, as fair and as caressing as the bloom of spring; hair, just strands of finely spun gold; a fairy mouth, adorably curved. That in itself would be a mockery if that were all, for it is not beauty alone that gives distinction. I have liked her for her pride. Without the gift of wealth, her clothes are marvelous for their simple daintiness, a refinement and pleasing modesty give her poise, a keen intellect and a whole-souled personality has placed the halo of a “lady” upon her. I have liked her for her pride. Because she has been kind, sympathetic and understanding, with enough confidence to hold her head high. All these things, with out snobbishness.

Kennedy, President of the Georgia Bankers’ Association, before the annual state convention of the Georgia Association, held in Macon recently: “As long as agriculture continues to be our basic industry and the prin cipal source of new wealth we must give serious consideration to its pro blems, indeed, the banker and the farmer are partners in the business of farming—the banker supplying the capital, and the farmer supplying the labor. The Southern farmer is a fairly efficient and economical pro ducer, but as the farmers’ business partner, it remains for the banker to assist the farmer in the process of marketing. Experience in co-oper ative marketing of farm crops, and particularly cotton, gives every en couragement of solving the problem of marketing farm crops through these business associations of farm ers. Their record of growth, their recognized financial responsibility, their efficiency of operation and their conservative business management has challenged the admiration of farmers, bankers, business men, cot ton manufacturers and Government officials throughout the country. These organizations have taken a page from the book of big business experience, and are applying the principles of sound economics to the conduct of their affairs. They are great merchandising concerns, and are not holding organizations, and as merchandising concerns are applying the proven idea of group distribution to the marketing of their products in the same w’ay and with the same result as all successful industrial con cerns are doing. “IN MY OPINION, THEY WILL BE AS SUCCESSFUL IN THE FU TURE AS THEY ARE ABLE TO ENLARGE THEIR MEMBERSHIP AMONG THE GROWERS; MAIN TAIN THEIR PRESENT TYPE OF ABLE AND CONSERVATIVE LEADERS; AND SECURE THE WHOLEHEARTED CO-OPERATION OF THE BANKS. I COMMEND THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO THE BANKERS OF GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH FOR YOUR CAREFUL AND PAINSTAKING CONSIDER ATION AND STUDY. “We have a common interest with the farmers in this matter.
