4 TO LIFE. 4
444v4444444-r444
Be careful, Life! I’ve not hurt you.
And why should you hurt me?
I ve lit my fire of song with love,
And hade it murn with glee,
You frown so often on us here,
And wound us so at times—
Thank God for hearts that have no fear
But beat where laughter chimes!
Be tender, Life, of all you hold;
And why should you crush me?
One fair love in a thousandfold
Sets countless hatreds free;
And out of toil we dream of rest
And out of trouble smile—
Thank God for hearts in love’s strong
breast
That trust Life's after awhile!
Be thoughtful, Life; we are so frail;
But why should be cruel?
At times we win, at times we fail?
At times to play the fool:
But ever in what path we go,
Strong children still of thine—
Thank God for hearts that suffering
know
The test of tears Divine.
Be generous, Life! We need so much;
And why should you not give?
With all high thoughts and hopes, in
tougch
We toil that love may live.
Our best, though it be counted poor.
Rings true, whate’er we do— t
And, so why should you hurt us, Life,
If we have not hurt you

SUFFICE BODIES 10
6001 THE WHETS
ATLANTA, Ga., May 10.—As. the re-'
suit of a movement just launched in
Atlanta, the various suffrage organ
izations of Georgia bid fair to bury
the hatchet, patch up their differences, I
and henceforth work together in har-'
mony to secure the ballot.
i In the past suffrage movement in
this state has been seriously handi-,
capped by the fact that the suffragettes
themselves were divided into rival
factions not over-friendly towards each
other.
One faction favors alliance with
the trade union bodies on the ground
that the men of the unions would prove
. their most powerful weapon in the
1
fight for votes for women; while an
, other faction composed of society wo
men who want the ballot, were inclined
to hold aloof from the trade unionists.
The latter seem to have undergone a
process of democratization, however,
which is a lesson, it is pointed out,
learned none too soon if they are to
demonstrate their fitness for participa
tion in government, and this issue bids
fair to be settled in favor of the faction
favoring the trade union alliance.
Tax Notice.
To the tax payers of Sumter county,
• Georgia: The digest for state and
, county taxes will be turned over to
the assessors on Monday, May 22nd,
for their consideration. Those that
have not give in can save themselves
