The contestant too proud to get out and make an lionant effort to
secure subscriptions cannot hope to succeed. It takes work to get
anything that, is desirable, and people are always ready to help those
who show by their works that they are making an earnest effort to help
themselves.
Some live contestants are going to make more money (or its equiv
alent) in the next few weeks by soliciting subscriptions for us than they
could possibly make in other ways.
There is no telling who will win tin prizes wa arc offering, as some
of our contestants are just mow getting good started.
In the end though,-the conscientious, steady workers will win. Such
is invariable the case. So all of you GET BUSY.
Friends wishing to aid their favorite candidates in the race should
help them win the 810.00 Special Cash prize given away this week, at
the same time advancing their prospects toward th? big prizes given
away at the close of tho contest.

Contestants should not wait for the people to come to them. They
should go to the people, - A-suctessful fisherman does not stay ip one
place all the time. He moves around, trying first one place and I ben
another. Keep trying. If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking,
until you do suck seed. If you try one man and he won’t, .subscribe,
try another and another, and you will get the subscriptions sure.

or any other prize worth having. A thing worth doing at all is worth
doing well. Be like the man from Missouri—make them show you.
DON’T GET DISCOURAGED
Don’t let imaginary obstacles impede your progress toward the
Victor’s goal, remembering that you always have something to be
thankful for. Be cheerful like the old lady who said she didn’t have
but two teeth in her head, but thank, the Lord they HIT 1 . She had
one above and one below.
Don’t Be A Quitter
Keep working, and remember that a candidate even though de
feated and dies game, is thought more of than a, quitter. Don’t pay
any attention to people who.try to discourage you. A go.it gets in his
hardest licks at the very time he looks like he is going to back out of
the fight. 1 <

As T? A Syrup
Marketing Organization
Last week we published an ar
ticle by ‘.‘Citizen”, calling attention
to the importance of some organi
zation to provide a better market
for our Georgia Cane Syrup. This
is an important matter and now
that attention has been called to it,
it should not bo allowed to sink
out of sight and mind as so many
good movements for .1 ho common
good are allowed to do.
ff'liis is about, the, most vital
question to the economic life of
this county just at this time. It
is a matter that to secure its full
est benefits must be espoused in a
wholly unselfish way by our citi
zens. 1
We trust that some one with
public spirit will continue to agi
tate this matter and to push it
until something is done that will
result in u better system of market
ing.for buy great syrup crop.
Gur columns are open at. all
times for a fair discussion of any
matter of public concern and we
hope that we may have some ex
pressions from our citizens on the
marketing problem for our Georgia
Cane Syrup.

An Appeal to the Chiireh-
ss of Christ in America.
A message that has just been
sent out by the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America
is startling with, facts relative to
conditions in those countries that
have been devastated by the Eur
opium war. No adequate concep
tion is had by our people of the
really horrible state of privatation
to which millions of [Jeople in thou*
countries have eoine. We would be
glad for all our readers to have
access* to the figures that have
been gathered at first hand by the
men that have been sent over to
ascertain the situation. In Belgium
Northern France, Serbia, Poland
and East Prussia there are possibly
t wenty five million people that are
facing the direst privations, and
many of them will be saved from
actual starvation only by the timely
assistance of .those on whom the
horrors of war have nof fallen,
The. Federal Council of tho
Churches of Christ in America be
lieves that in the present. situation
that American Christianity, hus an
opportunity, and a test. The need
is a most urgent one, and they be
lieve that if our churches meet it
in the true spirit of brotherhood,
that it will prepare them to pay the
vital part that belongs to them in
t he Period of Reconstruction and
Reconciliation that must follow the
close of tho war.;
Next Sunday May the 28th has
been fixed by the. Federal Council
as a day on which they have asked
tlie churches to take up tho matter
of bringin the necessity of the situa
tion.before tho congregations. They
state that any offering made may
be dircctcil to go to the sufferrs of
any one of tho countries desired.
Judge. W. M. Harrell of Bain-
bridge, who is n candidate for for
judgeship of the Albany Judicial
Circuit was in Grady County for
two days last week. The-Judge
came over to make several address
es at the school picnics in the coun
ty; speaking at Oak Hill and Wood
land schools on Friday the ,16th
inst and at Reno on Saturday the
20th.
The general theme of Judgo Har
rell’s Bpecch was of ‘‘Mental Pre-
pardness” for the problems of life.
He traced the history of our coun
try from the pioneer days giving
much of the credit for the present
greatness of America to those rug
ged charoetors who first foiled tho
forests and made a beginning for
the nation, and calling upon the
young men and women of .our pres
ent day to do greater things than
their fathers had dono.' He stress
ed the importance of unselfishness
andhoroic service on the part of
the young men and women.
The Judge altho he was not on a
political mission, must have realiz
ed from the manner in which he
was received that ho had many
friends all over Grady County.
Tho crowd at Woodland’ was esti
mated at 1200 people and that at
Reno about 800.
