Enforce or Amend.
The druggists of Atlanta, it will
tie remembered, were in a perturb¬
ed state of mind not long since
over the interpretation put up on
the prohibition law by Recorder
Broyles. That gentleman insisted
that the prohibition law meant
when it said, that it would be un¬
lawful to manufacture, sell, give
away to induce trade or keep in a
public place anything which if
drunk to excess would produce
intoxication, exactly what it said!
Consequently, numerous nudi
cines would be outlawed, if a strict
aud literal interpretation were put
■up on the law.
Now, why, in the name ol all
•that is holy, should not the law be
interpreted literally? Who is to
•‘say: “Thus fur shah thou go,
and no furthet? 1 » Lets play the
part without equivocation.
Probably every grocery store in
the state sells lemon extract, much
of which contains over fifty per
cent of alcohol and “which will,
if drunk to excess, produce intoxi¬
cation. y ?
Enforce or amend. By all
means let’s have law.—Sparta

The People’s Forum.
The Enterprise would have the
people remember that its cutiu s
are w>de open to them for discus
stoti of public questions, and we
would not have them to tor
get that we are always willing and
anxious to give them free publica
tions to such articles.
There are many questions con¬
cerning Newton county and the
city of Covington—which the peo¬
ple should be studying—for these
questions demand solution and it
is to the people’s interest that
they be solved as soon as possible.
Right here and incidently, The
Enterprise would be glad to hear
from some of citizens on the sub¬
ject ot Newton couuty’s issuing
bonds for the building of a good
and permanent system of roads
cither tor ot against.
While the columns of The En¬
terprise are open to the people for
for general discussion, they are
closed to useless personal thrust,
aud general mud slinging which
always does more harm than
good.
There is a heap of truth in this
from the Telfair Enterprise:
There would not be 9uch a deficit
in the government printing depart¬
ment if the ridiculously low price
for making and printing stamped
envelopes was not induged in to
the detriment of the legitimate
printing businesses of the country

WANTED, A PLEASING MAN;
THE WORLD YIELDS TO HIM.
Pleasing manners and polite ud
dress have brought many men to
the top notch of success, when
these qualities .hey would
have failed.
There is something irresistible
in the man who lias a kindly smile,
a cheerful word, and a heartv,
open, honest way about him. He
captivates us, and we are willing
immediately to confide in him, to
take him unto ourselves as a friend
and lay before him our plans, and
schemes, and doubts, and difficul¬
ties. Somehow he seems to w-eave
a hypnotic spell over all who come
within his influence.
Such a man not only gets along
well in the w.>rld himself but ho is
a mighty p>«wer in assisting others
up the ladder of success. His cher¬
ry voice is an unlift to greater ef
foi t, and liis own bearing is so con¬
tagious that every one within reach
catches it, with the result that
there is a cbeermess and charm
which drive awav despondency and
act as stimulants to incite all to do
the best that is in them.
People of winning ways have
such a peculiar charm about them
that they never are refused favors
when they can at all be granted.
History affords many examples of
mei. of pleasing address who suc
seeded solely on account of this
one advantage.
David’s pleasing address found
favor in the sight of King Gaul;
Paul before Agrippa was distin¬
guished by h'.s courteous bearing;
Cicero was a tnan of high dignity
and to his suave manner is attrib
uteri the great sway he hud as an
orator over the Senate; Virgil, the
poet, was beloved bv all for liis
gentle manner and sweet smile.
In out own day we had many
examples of famous men who built
their greatness on charming nian
tiers and winning wavs. Gladstone
was one of the nios lovable f
men, his look inspired confidence,
and any or.e who had t he honor of
talking to the grand old man of
England carried away memories
of that pleasing, mobile counte
ttanc j— memories which time could
not obliterate.
Daniel O’Connell, the Irish agi¬
tator, was another man of such a
pleasing, winning personality that
he was simply magnetic. O’Con
nel was a rough yet kindly Irish¬
man, aud he had not a lineament
of beauty in his strong, rugged,
Celtic face, but no man ever had
more attractive powers than he.
His voice used to sway teas of
thousands to the depths of their
souls. As a lawyer ho was the
greatest success of his day, his own;
fascinating personal tty simply wou!
the jurors to his side, and so he!
LIVE WITHIN YOUR
A LESSON
There are three great sources of
worry iu this world: Sickness,
trouble and debt.
The first two no man can avoid.
The third uear'y all men run into,
and have the life hounded out of
them until they learn one of the
most important lessons matt can
learn, that of living within the in¬
come.
Leaving aside the few good and
many specious reasons that a man
may give for living beyond his
weekly, monthly or yearly income,
the fact remains that when people
are determined to make both ends
me“t they can do it.
If you talk with the great finau
ciers of the country they will tell
you, and tell you truly, that they
found their start, even while work
iug at a small rate of wage, and
| “ liv j ng within their incbme.’*
This is absolutely true; when a
. man’s outgo is more than Ills in
; come, he is living a most miserable
life. In order for him to get
ptness he must do one or two things
increase his income or curtail his
e xpeuses. The man who has

tion the great men of our own
country at the present time who
can attribute both theii financial
and social success to good manners
and pleasing address. These have
been the foundation stones on
which our merchant princes and
captains of industry first reared
the itaaceut . structure, . . of c their ., . »f- c
terwards colossal progress.
Beauty of character is inherent
in every oi.e; it is more latent in
some than in others, but in all it
can be cultivated and made to
bloom as one of the brightest fl ov¬
ers in the garden of life. Christ
himself, the great exemplar, nur¬
tured and tended this beautiful
flower, and He was the most per¬
fect gentleman this world has
known or ever will know: He
taught the lessons of gentleness
and love; He was gent’e with all,
and the little children ran after
Him to touch even His garments.
The true gentleman never for¬
gets that he owes a twofold duty
—a duty towards himself and one
towards the world. He who thinks
only of self and forgets all about
the other, or does not care if he
remembers, cannot lay claim to
that name which adorns the spe¬
cies. The selfish man never can
be a pleasing personality. He is
wrapped up in himself like a cat¬
erpillar in the chrysalis and shows
only the shell of his ugliness to
the world.
The public wants to see the
bright side of a man. It neither
wants him eclipsed nor gibbous,
but with his full face turned to
wards the people, illumiuing them
with the beams of a shining couu
tenance. : r
Politeness can metamorphose a
Socrates ol forbidding visage into
a n Adonis of pleasing couuteuauce.
Miralmau was the ugliest man in
Paris, yet he was a prime favorite
with the women on account ot his
engaging manners and persuasive
politeness.
It was politeness and a uniform
courtesy that gave Washington
much of his popularity and con¬
tributed to his success.
Lincoln, though without early
training iu society, cultivated the
habits of gentlemanliness. When
a man sent to him by one of the
senators and in conversation ut¬
tered au oath Lincoln turned to
him and said: “I thoughttha9en
ator sent me a gentleman. I see I
am mistaken, There’s the door.
