Preventative Medicine
The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. It is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows
a cold or attack of the grip. The
cold prepares the system for the re
ception and development of the pneu
monia germ. The longer the cold
hangs on, the greater the danger.
Take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
as soon as the first indication of a
cold appears so as to get rid of it
with the least possible delay. It is
folly to risk an attack of pneumonia
when this remedy may be obtained
for a trifle.

WILL RETURN TO CITY
Miss Jessie Sappington, who has
been at Meansville for the past three
years, conducting a mercantile busi
ness in which she was a partner, will
raturn to Barnesville about May Ist
and again be with the store of L. A.
Collier, a deal having been closed the
past week to this effect.
Miss Sappington is one of the best

dies who was ever associated in the
mercantile business in Barnesville,
and she has hundreds of friends and
admirers who will rejoice to know of
her return to the city. She wa3 in
the Collier store for several years
and probably knows the people of
the community and their tastes in
these lines better than almost any
body. It is the purpose of the firm

Sappington will do her full share to

Mr. Howard Collier and others as
sociated with him in cthe ownership

Miss Sappington is to be with them
in the management of the store and
her coming will enable them to prom

Annie Collier will continue to assist
in its management as heretofore.
Altogether, they propose to keep the
store and its stock up to the high
standard which has been maintained
there by Mr. Collier during his life
time.
The public generally will wish
them every possible success and it
is being freely predicted that their
efforts will be fruitful to a satisfac
tory degree.

THE PARABLE OF GENIUS
I am Perfectly Willing to Hurry,
save when lamin an Hurry. If any
man or even Keturah attempteth to
Hustle me when I am in an Hurry,
then do 1 slow up. But Ido not fail
to Get There.
Now there came unto me a Young
Man who ought to have known bet
ter, saying, This Generation hath no
appreciation of Genius.
And I said, I had not thought it
so; for whenever any genius named
Ponzi or the like doth invent a
scheme to Extract Gold from Sea
Water, or to make a Dollar out of
less than an Hundred Cents, or to
coin money out of the Blue Sky,
there is born of those who appreciate
his Genius, at least one every min
ute.
And the young man said, I speak
not of dishonest methods of getting
rich quick, but only of an opportuni
ty for Budding Genius.
And I said, Budding Genius should
start in Overalls, and not be too
swift to blossom into Evening
Clothes.
And he said, A man with ability
such as mine ought not to be expect
ed to start at the Foot of the Ladder,
nor to toil arduously.
And I said, Listen unto me, and I
will speak unto thee words of wis
dom. Success could come unto thee
by any cheap way, or in any manner
that did not cost thee Hard Toil,
thou couldst not afford to accept it.
Even so have I said unto mine own
sons, and it hath been well for them
that they have believed it.
And I said, I have known many
Successful Men, and not a few Mil
lionaires and men of Achievement in
various lines of effort; and I have
come to believe that the Backbone of
Genius is the Ability to Get up in the
Morning: a little before the Alarm
goeth off, and to go at the day's work
with a Punch. Napoleon conquered
the world by getting: there Five Min
utes ahead of the other man. Edi
son achieved success by knowing
when it was time to get out of Bed.
If thou wouldst be successful in life,
rise early; meet the morning with a
smile; go at the day’s work with
vigor but without wasteful haste: use
thy brains and thy conscience as well
as thine hands and feet; take reason
able care of thy health; do a deed of
kindness for someone every day;
trust God and do thy duty, and veri
ly thou shalt have no occasion to
complain that the world is unmindful
of genius.
And he said, It is worth trying.
And I said, add this also, Move
quickly, think quickly, and do thy
work quickly; yet hurry not when
thou art in a hurry; but take calm
thought and do it right.—Watchman-
Examiner of New York.

PLANTING PEANUTS
The outlook for a reasonably large
acreage of peanuts in this section is
good, following the purpose of the
farmers to diversify and thus success
fully meet the boll weevil situation.
Mr. G. P. Wheeless, Cashier of the
Farmers Bank at Milner, has order
ed for the people of that communi
ty 300 bushels of seed peanuts and
the people of Zebulon community
have ordered two tons, enough seed
for an acreage of 800 acres. Other
individuals are going to plant some
acreage. All the peanuts for seed
may be had from the Southern Cot
ton Oil Cos., Forsyth, of which Mr.
T. R. Talmadge is manager.
Those who plant a reasonable acre
age, along with other things, will
stand a fine chance of making it a
profitable move. It certainly prom
ises to be as inviting a change as can
be made and it ought to be a means
of affording another money crop for
the people of this section.
Every farmer should plant some
peanuts, as the planting season is
open until the middle of June. Plant
only the little White Spanish peanut.

WILLIAM WRIGLEY,
JR., AND PROSPERITY
That business is improving in the
East and that this condition is spread
ing to the Middle West by degrees,
is the opinion of William Wrigley,
Jr., president of the William Wrig
ley, Jr., Cos., Chicago.
The good old American dollar is
coming back into its own. People
from one end of the nation to the
other are getting around to the idea
that the only basis for real prosperity
is an honest day’s work for a fair
day’s wage.
The United States as a whole has
been on a “business spree” for the
past five years. Prices, up to re
cently, were out of all sense of pro
portion for the value received.
The greatest cure for hard times,
Mr. Wrigley says, is to stop talking
about hard times, get to work and
keep money and goods circulating.
“The year 1921 was regarded as
a pretty bad period for lots of con
cerns in the East and Middle West,”
said Mr. Wrigley. “For us it was
the best year in the thirty years I
have been in the chewing gum manu
facturing industry.
“We are spending SII,OOO a day
this year to push Wrigley’s Chewing
Gum.
‘‘The judicious use of printers’ ink
is the greatest selling force in the

J world-wide basis, or even in the lo

blocks, you have got to keep the
people interested or you won’t sell
them your goods.”

Indigestion and Constipation.
‘‘Prior to using Chamberlain’s Tab

me of constipation,” writes Mrs.

STATE INCOME TAX
Mr. Charles J. Haden of Atlanta
has made speeches before the people
in Fulton county, in Marietta and At
lanta, opposing the State income tax.
Governor Hardwick is making a
vigorous campaign in Georgia in fa
vor of his hobby. Now and then a
voice is raised against it.
Mr. Haden thinks that this is no
time to make radical changes in tax
ation. He quotes Comptroller Gen
eral Wright as solemnly warning the
people against the income tax. Those
who would be subjected to the heav
ier taxes under the proposed law
would be the manufacturers, retail
merchants, farmers and others who
employ labor and turn out products.
These things are the mainsprings of
progress. The cotton picker and the
shoemaker have incomes. It re
quires about $10,000,000 a year to
support the State, including the pub
lic schools, and about $17,000,000 a
year to support the counties of Geor
gia. These amounts have always
been raised from a tax levied ad
valorem on all property.
Now, if an income tax be substi
tuted for the old system, wealth
would be petted and work would be
penalized.
A man of large means owns a num
ber of handsome automobiles, which
producing no income, would not be
subject to taxation. But the man in
overalls, who operates trucks, haul
ing for the public, and thus supports
his family, must pay taxes on his
earnings.
A man of luxury who indulges his
fondness of thoroughbred horses and
keeps a stable full that are worth
$20,000 to $30,000 and these, pro
ducing no income, are not subject to
taxation. But another man, living in
a modest cottage, who operates drays
for the public service, has an income
from these and the tax collector can
demand to share with the owner’s
family in the earnings.
A syndicate of men of the leisure
class may buy a group of plantations
and dedicate them as a game pre
serve in brush and briars to shoot
wild deer and rabbits and the lands
thereupon cease to be liable for
taxes. The owners of the adjoining
lands which remain in cultivation
and produce, through corn or cotton
even moderate returns must pay tax
l on the yields they make. Thi3 is
true, whether the farming was done
at a profit or at a loss.
The dressmaker employing half a
! dozen seamstresses will have a gross
i income from her work and theirs of
probably SB,OOO or SIO,OOO a year
and upon this fruit of humble toil
the tax collector claims a toll. In
default of payment she would be sub
jected to a sheriff’s fi fa A cus
tomer of hers, a lady of wealth, pos
sessing diamonds worth $20,000,
would be entirely free of taxation be
cause such property yields no income.
The proposed law puts the burden
upon labor and thrift and grants im
munity to luxury and idleness.—Sa
