Significant Date.
• Atlanta, July 8. —July first was
a significant date for more than
one reason. The first needs no
mention. The other was that on
that date first class postage rates
went back to two-cents, resulting
in the saving of millions of dollars
to merchants and others in the
Southeast. It has been estimated
that in one city alone the one
third reduction will save the mer
chants $50,000 monthly.
A movement has been started
by the War Savings Organization
of the district to turn this money
into War Savings Stamps. “Put
your postage stamps savings in
Savings Stamps,” is the slogan
adopted in appealing to the people
to invest this money in govern
ment securities. It has been poin
ted out that had the “war time”
rate been continued monthly post
age expense to business houses
would have been thirty-three and
one-third per cent more than it is
under the revised rate. Business
men are therefore being asked to
set aside the sum they are saving
by the former rates, for invest
ment in War Savings Stamps and
make this money bring them a
return from the government.
Silas W. Davis, Director of Sav
ings for the District believes the
plan will result in a material in
crease in the War Savings and
Thrift Stamps.

Semi-Annual Meeting.

Henry County held their semi

highly satisfactory results, and

He Was Almost Past Going.
“I suffered with kidney trouble
for three years,” writes D. Bell,
St. James City, Fla., “and for the
past six months I have been al
most past going. I couldn’t stoop
down and when I would lie down
I could hardly get up. I began
taking Foley Kidney Pills, and
before using two bottles my pains
were all gone.” They are prompt
in action and quick to relieve
backache, rheumatic pains, stiff,
swollen joints and sore muscles.

Dr. J. H. Jarrett, D. D., in the
Christian Herald says: “I do not
think it wrong for some men to
be richer than others. Do not
think it wrong for any one to
make money. The fact that men
are differently endowed that they
are possessed cfjdifferent powers,
native and acquired, that they are
to rank as a gradation of forces,
inferior and superior, is proof
enough to me that human society,
was not infant to be flat, uniform
and level, but that it was meant to
be full of hills and valleys and
inequalities of every kind. lam
not injured by any man being
superior to me, unless be uses his
superiority to crush me to the
ground. It is the same' with
money. It is the love of money,
not the possession, which is ‘a
root of evil.’ ”
Dr. Jewett goes on to say:
“When does frugality become
avarice? Wheu a man loves the
getting of money belter than its
benificent use. The most charac
teristic mrrk of avarice is this
it is never satisfied. It is a hunger
which becomes the more fierce
the more it is fed. , Covetousness
materializes everything, commer
cializes everything. How can the
money-making folks avoid the
bondage of covetousness? By
ever seeking to more and more
realize human brotherhood in the
contemplation of the common
fatherhood; ever striving to attain
a character worthy of the sons of
God; by living in the conscious
ness that a man’s life consisteth
not in the abundance of things
which he not in what
he has, but in what he is, in
breadth and depth of character,
in the precious treasure of the
heart.” Anonymous.
Upshaw Makes Good.
Atlanta, Ga., July 7. —“Uncle
Bill” Upshaw, congressman from
the Fifth (Atlanta) district, who
by the way is making himself
heard in a very pleasing way in
the national congress, hurried
back home during the recess of
congress, and spent several days
shaking hands and greeting his
friends hereabouts. They say in
Washington that Congressman
Upshaw, for a new member, has
“learned the ropes” quicker than
any Georgian who has gone there
in a number of years. He seems
to have a kqack at getting close
to the heads of government de
partments, and according to one
Georgian who keeps track of the
state delegation in congress, “Up
shaw gets quick action on any
thing he wants.” His popularity
was recognized right from the
jump, and the proverbial bee has
nothing on him when it comes to
keeping busy.
