THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVING'nm, vuoRGIA '
SOME PHASES OF OLD AGE
Old age steals upon us in many forms
and among the ranks of men and wo¬
men there are those who surrender be¬
fore their time while others give this
destroyer of youth no quarter this side
of the grave, which is for them a short
journey into an ageless realm. There
are some things which improve with
hge, but this truth has a narrow appli¬
cation, not being true of many individ¬
uals and of a whole lot less liquor than
formerly.
■ Age may be regarded from the three
standpoints of the body, mind and spir¬
it, though it is not possible to make a
sharp distinction. The age of the body
has much to do with the passage of
time and those who have used their
bodies well come to an old age which
carries with it honor as well as infirm¬
ity. There is a record of usefulness and
the fulfilling of life’s mission which
bring no small pleasure to those who
think upon the remote things of the
past. There is an age of the body, how¬
ever, which is independent of the years
during which a man may have lived.
The age of the body must at last be
measured in the terms of power. When
our physical powers begin to fail we are
growing old no matter what may be the
date of our birth. In this respect many
acquire age unconsciously. They disre¬
gard their physical welfare to such an
extent that old age comes upon them
unawares. Herein lie many of the trag¬
edies of life, for in the last analysis a
man’s body is only as young as it is
useful and the individual is usually to
blame.
Old age of the mind is likewise of two
kinds. With many wisdom is the com¬
panion of age. By study and experience
men fill the treasure house of the in
tellenct and come into the knowledge
of those things which are mysterious
in the days of youth. Such an old age
is a benediction to the world and easts
light upon the pathway of future gener¬
ations. There is a sense also in which
time has no blame in the age of the
mind. The minds of some reach matur¬
ity before their time. They cease to
think, to study or to catch new visions
from the affairs of life. From the ranks
of such men are drawn the non-pro¬
gressives of the world, the human
stumbling blocks which hinder the
growth and advancement of the race.
The attitude of the spirit is inde¬
pendent of time in most of its activi¬
ties, though it must often be influenced
by the body and the mind. It is the glory
of the human race that the spirit may
conquer all things and many of the
phases of youth can survive in a
body worn with years. It thus comes
to pass that it is possible, so far as the
spirit is concerned, to be as old or as
young as we desire to be.—Ex.
MANY PEOPLE OF SOUTH
IN URBAN DISTRICTS
Atlanta, Ga„ Aug. 23.—Figux-es made
public at the state department of agri¬
culture on farm population in the south
indicates that while this region is still
mainly rural, the growth of its urban
centers is substantial and swift. The
total number of persons on farms in the
Southern States is reckoned at 16,827,-
834, of whom 11, 730, 848 are white, 5.
044.489 colored, and 52,497 foreign born.
The white farm population constitutes
forty-eight and six tenths per cent of
the aggregate population, while of ftie
negro total fifty-six and Six tenths per
cent is on farms.
When it is considered that many
small towns whose interests are chiefly
agricultural are classed as “urban , it
is evident that tGe South is yet a land
of corn and cotton and country freedom,
as well as of marvelous industrial de¬
velopment. It is but a few decades, how¬
ever. since seventy-five per cent of the
region’s population was on farms. Her’,
as elsewhere, though not so markedlv.
the trend is townward.

The neu> Qoodyear
Cross-Rib Tread Cord
Discounting the “Discount”
in Advance
You don’t have to be a shrewd bargainer to get the bottom price on
the new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord.
Instead of listing it at a high price, to enable the dealer to attract you
with a so-called “long discount,” we list it as low as we profitably can.
You can see from the figures below that its advertised price is lower
than the net price you are asked to pay for many “long discount”
tires of unknown value.
We believe the average man would rather buy tires on this frank and
open basis, and assure himself a product of recognized worth.
The new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord is made of high-grade
long-staple cotton, and it embodies the patented Goodyear method
of group-ply construction.
In design, materials and manufacture it is a representative Goodyear
product, built to safeguard the world-wide Goodyear reputation.
It has a different tread from the famous All-Weather Tread Cord—
a new tread with a deep, cle*m-cut, cog-like pattern—and it sells for
substantially less.
Compare these prices with NET prices you are asked to pay for "long discount ” tires
