There were two reasons: Ef ficiency and friendship. The I clerk knew his “trade,” their likes and dislikes, and he had that happy faculty of “making friends." Says the Waycross Journal-Herald: If it is commerce that we are after, it is first needful to culti vate friendship. Experience has set example after example of this truth be fore us. There has been the traveling salesman with a host of friends who always secured a larg ■ num ber of sales. There has been the merchant with a friendly sales force who always had a good trade. There has been the attorney who was likeable who always had a fine practice. There has been the physician who was so sociable in and out of the sick room who had a large number of clients. Yet despite these teachings of experience there are those who yet ask: “What will this gain?” meaning thereby that unless it jain directly it is of no avail. Be it selling merchandise or the selling of professional serv ice, man’s greatest asset is 1 RIENDS, Often one is grant ed credit on friendship when a strict credit rating would coun sel otherwise. Some one re marked “A friend is he who puts up when it is needed, asking no questions.’ “When financial reverses come, it is friends who pull one thru. When the hand of death opens the door, it is friends who come to soothe the aching heart. Friends: one never has 100 many, and trade follows friend ships. Y Y Where Lasting Prosperity Lies— It is much easier to bring a North Carolina farmer into Georgia than to persuade a farmer in lowa, for instance, to Georgia. The farmer does not make long jumps—not often. This is the opinion of the Atlan ta Trust Company as expressed by Luther Allison, local repre sentative of that company. Dis cussing emigration of farmer, Mr. Allison said to us the other day: “We have found that farmers don’t like to make too long a jump. A farmer in lowa will go to the State next to his, but it is difficult and expensive to persuade him to come to Georgia. It took u.s some time to learn that and we spent a lot of mon ey for the knowledge. Now we are concentrating on those States near us. The North Carolina farmer has his eyes on South Georgia. Why go to Illinois or loWa if we can get him nearer home?” That’s a new angle on that question and one that seems fundamentally sound. It’s the North Carolina tobacco farmer who is making good on our laid < at lands, and in making good h> is teaching our own farmers to jaise tobacco profitably. And that’s progress in the right direc tion. After all the ‘boom’ we want to see in Georgia must come from the soil. That will be a boom that won’t burst and leave a vast wreckage of human skel etons behind. Farmers from every State in the union will be welcome, but why go to the North Pole for ice when we have it right at us? In an editorial along this general line the Moultrie Observer has this to say: We do not mind seeing our count’- lands turning. It pleases u-’ to hear that a Carolinian has been attracted by the tobacco pot'ibilidcs down here and has ; oeha .1 a farir. to which lie will mow amily and his citi xemhip.

It sounds good when a farmer of the West comes to South Geor gia and buys land to start in the live stock 'business down here, lie fits into our general plans and I he finds markets and finances to his liking. We well take our prosperity straight. Let it conic along in the nat ural order. The. boom we. want to see will not come out of Florida or out of the north. It will come out of the soil. It will come out of fine melon crops, fine tobacco crops, fine cotton crops, fine pea nut crops, fine hog crops, fine hay crops, etc. Let’s btend our energies toward making our lands productive and profitably, and then we shall find them in great demand. They will be brought by dirt farmers and not by syndicates. The men who buy them will comb and po. i s them and live among us. This will be growth and pros perity. It will be on something that abides. We fiolk in Georgia know how to raise cotton, but few of us know much about tobacco or dairy farming, therefore our best bet is to induce those farm ers who KNOW the things we DON’T know to come here. That’s building on a permanent basis, and to a large degree, that’s what Georgia is doing. Lasting prosperity lies in di versification of crops and to ac complish this we must have peo ple who know and do things we aren't accustomed to do. Settle up our land with dirt farmers and the State will blossom like a rose. Syndicates take the cream and leave the skimmings. Let’s keep the cream for cur selves and those who come to make their homes among us. •Y Y Y Press Agents— Some time ago. if you remem ber, a couple of men were ar rested in Los Angeles accused of a plot to make away with a movie actress. The reason alleg ed was that she had been active against the narcotic drug traffic. Perhaps you remember that story. Do you remember any later stories telling of the men being sent to prison? Os course vou don’t. Neither are you likelv to read of any prison terms for the latest gang arrested there men said Io have plotted to kidnap another actress. Read all news from Holly wood with a pinch of sab. There are a lot of very clever press agents in that town. French Humors 1 he French never tire of pok ing fun at big German person alities. Their latest relates to President Hindenburg. The presidential palace in Berlin is adorned with quiet classical landscapes, by the French painters, Claude and Co rot. They say these lovely things rather bored the grim old field marshal and that, as a conse quence, he has asked for an ap propriation so that a number of real cavalry and artillery pic tures, depicting events in Prus sian history, may be hung in his living rooms. And the big gest picture, right over the fire place will be one of Von Hin denburg, spiked helmet, num berless decorations of the chest and all. Y Y Y Can You Qualify?— You may think vourself a vary careful, considerate auto driver. But before your plume yourself to highly, ask yourself one more question'■ How do you handle your headlights? Do you always dim them on approaching another car? Do you always keep them dimmed except when there are no oth er cars coming and you cant see to drive without having them on full tilt'-’ If you don’t you can’t qualify as a considerate driver. Bright headlights are a men ace to everyone else on the road. Keep ’em dim. And don't depend too much I on glass lenses that are supposed to diffuse the glare and render it unobjectionable.

The cotton market shows a con tinued upward tendency today, and | at the close was ten points above! quotations at the close yesterday. The December market was at 9.80 cents on the close today. Americus despite the advanced season, still continues the profit able market for farmers of Sumter and neighboring counties who have surplus stocks of home raised meat, wheat and other products and these commodities can be purchased any day from local stores. Miss Ann Walker, the winssome and attractive little daughter • f Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Walker was petite hostess at a pretty lawn par ty Friday afternoon. Thirty little guests were invited. Misses Sallie and Floyd Johnson have returned here from an ex tende dvisit in Atlanta. They will 1 ave apartments at the residence of > Mrs. J. W. Hightower on Lee street. I Misses Louise and Rouse 1 Inmil-1 ton who have been at Demoorest i during several weeks will return to Americus on Monday next.

EDITORIALS * J ypweiij “The men of the four seas are all brothers,” said Confucius; l?ul I :-ornvlin.i’. it sei-ms doubtful wheth-> er the world has found it out. Confucious himself was Chinese;' Buddha was a bronwn man of India; Jesus was a Jew. Any one of them would have dis-! ficulty getting by the immigration | | officer of the port of New York, and none of them, if perchance he entered the city, would be eligible to member-hip in its better clubs. The age of brotherhood is not yet. Yiet there .are corners of the earth where some beginnings of the brotherhood of races have been made. Witness a Chinese dinner 1 recently attended in Honolulu. J The host, I'r. Dai Yan Chang, is j a cultivated, American gentleman] of Chinese race, and his wife a i gracious lady of the same sort. The | guests, a number of distinguished | Chinese from the Orient, the elite j of (focal Chinese society, and a ; number of American visitors. The talk is gossip of American I and European univertities, stories of travel, personal repartee, and touches of the greatei things of many lands. One of the guests, James Y. C. Yenfi is the head of perhaps the largest educational enterprise in the history of the human race— the mas sedueation of literary hun | deeds of millions of people, from six to sixty years old, to transform I i whole race from illiteracy to lit eracy, almost over night. To do this it was necessary, first io devise a simplified Chinese writ- I ten language, and then to standard ise a method of teaching it in 96 Itssons and enlist a whole army of teachers and enthuse a whole nation of pupils.

Elsewhere this evening appears the application for charter of the V, hitley Grocery Co. Among th? incorporators are Messrs. C. R. Whitley, John Windsor, L. N. Hud son, W. B. Hudson, P. C. Clegg, T. E. Bolton atid Lester Windsor. Mr. Z. 11. Gilreath and family have gone to Asheville, N. C., the form er home of Mr. Gilreath, on a short visit to relatives. This is Mr. Gil reaths firs; vacation in six years, during which time he has lost only two days from work. Mrs. G. W. Council, Miss Annie and Mr. L. G. Council, leave this morning for Lookout Mountain and Asheville, N. C., where Mrs.Coun- ■ cil and daughter will spend several I weeks. ■ On Wednesday evening, at the ■ home of the bride’s mother, neat Americus, Mr. Davis Mcßride and Miss Emily weaver were unitted in marriage in the presence of a num ber of relatives and friends of the | contracting parties. She is a sis ter of Mrs. John 11. Rodgers of this city and many friends here will ex it nd sincere congratulations. ( hina will be four times that oi ] ‘he United States and much more than that of ail Europe. Other guests were almost'as dis ’tinguished; the leaders of the re ' naissance of China. The lady th i writer takes out to dinner is a Wel . iesly graduate, and an honor to her college. These are the representatives of a people which provincial America thinks of as a race of laundrymen. They show a fine pride of race, and ■are only amused at Caucasian dn lusisons of superiority. One of them, li world traveler, i master of many languages, gentle- I man of culture and distinction, tells iwith some glee the story of the con | ductor of an American railway train j who was curious to know in which I laundry he was going to work in the I city of his destination. The dinner, just for the interest Los it, was Chinese, with chop sticks. 1 shaks’ fins, birds’ nest soup, and j tre rest. But the culture was cos ! mopolitan. Are such people our superiors or our inferiors—or just, in the words of their own sage, our “brothers”? ARE THE BLACK ONES OUR BRETHREN, TOO? It recalled another occasion, a y: ar earlier, in far Ceylon. The house: a palace. Tea served in the great library, lined with thousands of books in every Euroean language, by a lady of queenly grace and dignity. The conversation: hooks, art, philosophy, education, the influence of various relgiions on the tempera ment of peoples, the gossip of many lands, international repartee—such talk as one expects only in the most cultivated circles of Europe and America. 1 Abi.l !*>£ fi<££ s i Bbt JFlU'jl “For goodness take, kidlets, sit still for a while, and your feet off of the seat.

Now, hush up there, Marion; none cf your sass. And, Tom, you can just change your tone. “Say, Mom, where’s the dust cloth? The thing was brand new. I had it a minute ago.

BROWNING ACCUSED GIVING PARENTS MONEY SIGN ADOPTION PAPERS (Continued from rage One) “playing iady.” “Cindereiia,” otherwise Marie Louise Spa:-, is the 16-year-old girl selected by Edward H. Browning, millionaire real estate dealer, as a companion-playmate for another adopted child, Dorothy. Child of Bonemian imigrants who have prospered more than passing well, Marie caught at an early age the spirit of modern American I life. She came to America, a babe in arms, with parents who sought their fortunes in America. And this they found in a manner not un common in New York’s East Side history. Thrift and ambition led to the ownership of apartments whose rentals today are placed at some thingl SSOO a month. Yet Spas, still thrifty, is janitor and superintend ent alike. Now Marie has wide brown eyes that flare with an ambition even more fiery than that which led her father to success. She has always wanted to “getahead,” as her fath er relates. And while she has played in the streets of the slums she also trained her dancing toes so that she was training in the Metropolitan Opera House as a fu ture dancer for the great ballets. That will all be easy now. She may take her lesson from the great est, if she wills. But also—and here’s where the fun cmoes in for a 16-year-old girl with a mind of romance—she must learn how to ring for the butlers and the maids; h woproperly to order dinner at the fashionable summer places; what is the proper thing to say—all the niceties that go to make a “lady.” And tomorrow, she says, she will have time for the other “Cinderel las” of whom the world is full and she will not forget them. Then—and there is ■ t-,,.- run ning through the smiles of this story—there is her i.-ter, long ill in Colorado from tuberculosis. She v. .11 be fir. t i;i .Marie’s mind.
