Georgia's quota of the Baptist

It is not consistent to go off to

With more than 1,500 leather

Eve is said to have worn a fig

With Uncle Sam and the state

If there are many more “drives”

One would think the way the

Strange how some fellows will
sit for hours in a broiling sun and

Wonderful Progress.
“The world is making wonderful
progress in many ways, and the
airship is one of the most striking
of the evidences of progress,” says
the Industrial Index. It has not
been so many years ago that if
the average man had seen an au
tomobile coming along the road
he would have been liable to have
taken to the woods. Now the
automobile is an old story, so to
speak, and the development of the
airship has the center of the stage.
“A company was organized in
Birmingham, Ala., a few weeks
ago to construct airships, convey
people in them and teach people
how to operate them. Now
comes Miami, Fla., with an airship
show room, where the flying ma
chines will be placed on sale. The
Metropolis of Miami says of it:
“ ‘Miami’s first airplane show
room will be opened soon at the
corner of Avenue D and Twelfth
street in the Tatum-Wallace build
ing by the Davis Motor Sales
Company, which will also display
the Davis automobile. Douglas
Manning, formerly as first lieu
tenant at the Curtis marine avia
tion field in charge of flying, is
the general manager for Florida
for the Davis Motor Sales Compa
ny, which concern has the agency
for the State of Florida for the
Richardson Aeroplane Company.
‘“The Davis Company will in
the near future place in commis
sion a Richardson airplane for use
between Jacksonville and other
Florida cities as a service machine.
“Two airplanes have already
been bought by Miami business
men.
“ The Richardson Aeroplane
Company loaned its patents to the
United States government and
they are used on the seaplanes
entered in the trans-Atlantic flights
of the navy. The consul of Ecua
dor has just placed an order for
25 Richardson planes for the gov
ernment of Ecuador, these will be
used in carrying mail between
Panama and Ecuador.’ ”
Be Natural.
Heayen help the man who im
agines he can dodge enemies by
trying to please everybody. If
such an individual ever succeeds,
pass him over this way that we
may have one look at his mortal
remains ere he vanishes away,
for earth cannot be his abiding
place. Now we do not infer that
one should be going through this
world trying to find beams to
knock and thump his head against,
disputing evnry man’s opinion,
fighting and elbowing all who
differ from him. That, again, is
another extreme. Other people
have their opinions, so have you.
Don’t fall into the error of sup
posing they will respect you more
for turning your coat every day,
to match the color of theirs.
Wear your own clothes, in spite
of wind and weather, storms and
sunshine. It costs the irressolute
ten times the trouble to wind and
shuffle and twist than it does
honest manly independence to
stand.
