AMERICUS, GA„ SATURDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 27, 1923 Murdock wishes it distinctly un derstood that he makes no claim to supernatural powers and tiiat, though undoubtedly ' possessed of inherent psychic mentality, his at tainments are due chiefly to his life long study of occult science and to the development of those human senses which are dormant in most of us. The sixth sense, or that of in tuition. thought transferrence anc projected, telepathy through mental concentration mean little to the ordinary person, yet they are unconsciously uspd to a more or less extent by all of us every day. Murdock claims that the develop ment of these latent human powers is the real secret of success; that every great man in history utilized these powers in a degree compara tive to his greatness, and that the same is true of the men we know today in our own community, in our nation, throughout the world.
