♦ START WHERE YOU STAND ♦
Start where you stand, and never
mind the past;
The past won’t hep you when you
are starting anew,
If you have left it all behind at last,
Why that’s enough, you’re done
with it, you're through;
That is another chapter in the book
This is another race that you have
planned,
Don’t give the vanished days a back
ward look,
Start where you stand.
The world won’t care about your old
defeat
If you start anew and win success.
The future is your time, and time is
fleet
And there is much work and
strain and stress;
Forget the buried woes and dead de
spairs,
Here is a brand new trial right
at hand,
The future is for him who does and
dares,
Start where you stand.
Old failures will not halt, old tri
umphs aid,
Today’s the thing, tomorrow soon
will be,
Get in the fight, and face it un
afraid.
And leave the past to ancient his
tory.
What has been, has been; yesterday
is dead
And by it you are neither blessed
or banned.
Take courage man, be brave and
drive ahead
Start where you stand.

GEORGIA SUFFRAGISTS
ASKED TO HELP RED CROSS
Georgia suffragists have been called
upon to help the nation by assisting the
Red Cross.
The call comes in a telegram to
Mrs. Emma T. Martin, vice president
cf the Georgia Woman Suffrage asso
ciation, at Macon, from Wilcott Wads
worth, national chairman of the Amer-
ican Red Cross, and is in response to a
telegram from Mrs. Martin, authorzed
at the banquet of the Atlanta Business
Peoples’ Suffrage association.
“Your telegram addressed to Presi
dent Wilson has been referred to the
American Red Cross,” reads the reply,
“since your welcome offer of services
of the women’s patriotic work of the
state of Georgia seems to point to
wards co-operation with the American
Red Cross as one of the most useful
services your federation can perform.
In the name of the central committee,
therefore I venture to bespeak your as
sistance and support of w-ork of the
Red Cross as is expressed through the
chapters in your state.”
11.1. SERGEANT TO
mtlDillS CAMP
/ I nofficial information received in
this city is to the effect that First
Sergeant C, E. Guerry of the Ameri
cus Light Infantry will be ordered to
attend the • officers’ training camp, to
be opened on May 14th at Fort Mc-
Pherson./
It is although no or
ders have yet been received here, that
Col. Thomas, of the Second Georgia
regiment, will detail the first sergeant
of each company in the regiment to
attend the officers’ training camp with
a view to receiving a commission. In
addition to the first sergeants, several
duty sergeants from headquarters will
be sent to the camp to receive the
three months’ intensive instruction in
the art of war from an officer's stand
point.
Applications have been made by
several Americus men during the past
few days and almost half a dozen
ycung men have already passed their
mental and physical examinations for
entrance to the camp.
Frank Stapleton has been appointed
to receive applications from this city
and vicinity, and during yesterday he
was busy at the Windsor Pharmacy,
giving out information concerning the
camp and furnishing application
blanks.
All day today he will have a desk in
the postoffice building, where men de
sirous of entering the training camp
at Ft. McPherson may secure appli
cation blanks, which must be sent in
not later than Monday, as no applica
tions will be received after that day.
Information from Washington is to
the effect that enlisted men of na
tional guard regiments who are to at
tend the officers’ training camps will
not be ordered to the camps before
May 20. The delay is made in order
to allow a better selection of men. Offi
cers of the national guard will not be
allowed to attend such camps, except
in case they are assigned as instruc
tors, as the war department has ruled
that they are needed more with thir
own regiments.
STEWART COUNTY PLANTERS
TI TTING IN PLENTY FOODSUFFS
LUMPKIN, Ga., May s.—The farmers
of Stewart county are rallying to the
call to raise more feedstuff. They are
cultivating bore corn, potatoes, pea
nuts and velvet beans than have ever
been raised in Stewart county prior to
this year.
There seems to be less worry over
the boll weevil, for they are raising
crops that can not be affected by the
weevil. They expect velvet beans and
peanuts to take the plade as a substi
tute for the by-products of cotton seed.
The oats and wheat crops will not be
so good, owing to the late severe cold
weather, but acreage in corn exceeds
that of former years by a large per
cent.
The item that gives the farmers of
this section more concern than almost
any other is that many of their best ne
gro workers have gone away, seeking
the salaried places offered them in
the north.
More attention is now directed to
raising hogs, sows and horses than
has been in the years precious. Many
of the farmers now have the short
horn cattle, red poll, and other fine
breeds, and among other breeds of hogs
they have the Duroc and Berkshires.
Stewart will rank well among the
leading counties in production of food
stuff.

comotives for two years. His contracts •
ran §5,600 to S*J2,MX). He has been i
called in as special adviser to the heads ,
of the largest mercantile establish
ments of the country. He delivered a
lecture before the salesmen of one of
America's greatest watch factories.
Afterward the proprietor in a letter of
thanks to Mr. Eogleman told him that
his ability to discover facts relative to
their business was almost uncanny;
that he had told them things alx>ut
themselves of which they were not
aware and had crystallized some vague
ideas they had had in pertinent, con
crete working form.
Mr. Fogleman is often referred to as
“Gatling Gun” Fogleman because of
his ability to speak at the rate of 300
words a minute and speak distinctly.

THE ALCAZAR
Ignore Ulrich, the beautiful Pallas
star, will be seen at the Alcazar on
Monday in the Pallas-Paramount pic
turlzation of Julia C. Ivers’ unusual
Indian story, "Her Own People.” In
the early scenes of the picture, Miss
Ulrich wears a very unique costume
of beautiful white fawn skin, trimmed
with beads, porcupine quills and deer
teeth. The dress was loaned Miss Ul

collector of Indian relics, and it was
originally intended to be the bridal
dress of the daughter of a chief, hav
ing been made by a woman of the tribe.
Two days before the wedding ceremony
was to be performed, the bride-to-be
was killed in an accident and the dress
was never worn. Supporting Miss Ul.
rich are such prominent artists ar Co
lin Chase, Howard Davies, Jack Stark,
William Winter Jefferson, and others.
