THE TRUE CITIZEN
TUB UrBYITAL OF THI FITTEST.
Waynesboro* Gtu, February 23, 1924.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
After reading the following one is con
vinced beyond all shadow of do\ibt
that Editor Pat Griffin, of the Bain
bridge Post-Searchlight, from which it
is taken, has no patience with the rep
resentative in congress from the Fifth
district of Georgia:
Willie Upshaw wants to oust
all the Congressmen that drink.
It would be lonely times for Wil
lie in such a-Congress as that in
deed. The fact still remains that
the drunkest man there can do
more for his district and bring
mere credit on his state than Wil
lie. A few gallons of liquor un
der his shirt could surely im
prove him, because any change
would be for the better. It could
not be any worse. The Fifth Dis
trict surely needs a congressman.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
Waynesboro citizens are talking of
a memorial to “Aunt Creasy,” an old
time negro woman, who died recently.
She was a devout Christian, a familiar
figure at the Indian Springs camp
meetings and she lived the faith in
which she believed. The Sunday
schools have taken the matter up and
will observe “Aunt Creasy Day” when
the entire collection will go to a fund
to erect a suitable memorial to the
good Christian woman, who was lov
ed and admired by all and who was
always on hand where a Christian
could be of service.”
LIABILITY SHOULD ATTACH
FOR FIRE CARELESSNESS
There are not nearly so many fires
in Europe as in United States, and it
has been demonstrated in this coun
try that by watchfulness damage from
flames can be reduced.
The great manufacturing corpora
tions do not suffer so much from fire
now as they did at one time. This is
especially true of the cotton mills.
Watchfulness will do to prevent de
struction of property by fire was also
shown in France during the war. Hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of
supplies for the American expedition
ary forces were stored in huge wood
en buildings.
Fire-fighting equipment like that
used in American cities was not avail
able. Yet this property was thorough
ly protected from flames by the use of
care, enforced by army discipline.
There are a few simple suggestions
which, if generally followed, would
save us from the greater part of our
annual Are loss. Matches and cigaret
tes should not be tossed about heed
lessly.
Fire extinguishing apparatus should
be installed wherever there is a pos
sibility of flames appearing. Inspec
tions should be made of property ex
poser to fire hazard.
In buildings where many persons
are employed hre drills should be held
so that in case of emergency all can
be removed to safety quickly and steps
taken promptly for extinguishing the
flames.
Even if you are indifferent ot your
own safety and are willing to run the
risk of the destruction of your own
property by fire, you have no right to
endanger the lives and property ot
your neighbors—The Manufacturer.

K of the Food Value
of Your Wakings
Plain flour has a large amount
of food value but it must be
combined with good baking
powder in order to retain this
■value.
.Most self rising flours are not
successful because they do not
raise the bakings to the proper
lightness. Phis means a cer
tain loss of nutrition because
they are heavy and hard to*
digest.
Every time you eat food that
does not properly digest you
do noc get the full nutritional
value you are over-taxing
your stomach. Nourishing and
perfect bakings are what good
health demands. The one sure *
way is—use pure flour and
gooci baking powder.
If you want to find what thou
sands of housewives have
learned—make some biscuits
with self-rising flour —then
make some with good plain
flour and Calumet Baking Pow
der-notice the great difference.
One trial will satisfy you. Your
health demands that you make
the experiment.
Those who know—millions of
housewives, domestic science
teachers,bighotels,restaurants,
bakeries and railroads will not
use anything but Calumet, the
Economy Baking Powder.
Play safe—use Calumet and
plain flour. It is the most eco
nomical and satisfactory,
where light, whdesome and
pure foods are desired.

Organization Here
A meeting of more than twenty-five
representative business men and mer
chants was held Thursday night at the
city office to discuss the formation of
some kind of a business organization.
Another meeting will be held next
Thuisday night, Feb. 28th, at the office

definite steps toward organization will
be taken.
DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THIS
Asked to offer suggestions as to
what “qualifications’ ’young people
should strive for in order to (it them
selves for responsible positions in pub
lie and business life, one of our great- I
est national industrial ietcier; and
students ot human nature, drawing
from his fund of knowledge gained
through s.xty years of study and con
tact with persons in eveiy walk of
I,* ; every c uutry, asys:
“Business geniuses, like iliod me
< e*. ::i! u s '-temanship, ara not taught
They are created. Every man cf
great achievements carries very far
beyond anything which he ever learn
ed except in the hard school of ex
perience, added to heaven-given en
dowments.
“The average teacher, preacher,
writer of theses, college prfoessors
and thousands of men who are ready
to tell twenty others what ‘were good
to be done are as a rule pigmies in
comparison with such men as Wash
ington, Franklin, Bonapart, Musso
lini, or other men of great industrial
achievements, like Rockefeller, Ford,
etc. They were not taught, nor given
any rule of procedure, nor did they
follow a chart. With their Heaven
given endowments they blazed their
own trail, and immediately stepped in
to an arena unaided by any writer of
formulas.
“The stride of such men and their
accomplishments are beyond the reach
and quite transcend the imagination
those function in life is to teach how
such things should be done.
“The men who become great leaders
and rise to the heights were not
taught what they should do, or how
they should do it, nor in most cases
did they start with any copception of
their own future. They started to
make the best of their endowments,
and then a personal conscience, seiz
ing opciprtunities and indefatigable
work did the rest. No man ever did
much work by any mechanical chart
or depended upon what he was taught
either in school or from the pulpit.
“The successful young man, instead
of giving heed to mechanical and for
mulated directions, is working out his
own problems, and he only succeeds
by going further and accomplishing
more than anybody who has ever pre
ceeded him in a like field of endeavor.
The teacher or writer of theses is
limited in his sphere by vhat he has
learned of what has gone before.
“ ‘Qualifications’ are endowments
?.nd they cannot be taught. Qualifica
tions are the very foundation oi ev
ery great life, and no teacher can cre
ate qualifications.
“I think the experience of all men
who have accomplished much is that
whenever a ‘teacher’ or advisor inter
venes with lessons as to how they
should accomplish their task, or wheth
er they should undertake their task at
all, the result has been a weakening,
not a strength, and to the extent to
which such counsels were heeded, in
spired work was chilled and measurab
ly paralyzed.”—The Manufacturer.

ELOPING COUPLE
Macon, Ga., Feb. 18.—A contemplat
ed elopement was nipped in the bud
here today when police met J. B. An
derson and Miss Louise McNedv
aged 15, cf Wadley, as they stepped
from a train at the Macon terminal
station.
TBhe girl’s father had telephoned
the Macon police thirty minutes before
the arrival of the train and asked that
the couple be taken into custody and
held for Jefferson county authorities.
Both were docketed on temporary
charges of lotiering. Miss McNeely
told the police Anderson was bringnig
her to Macon to give her a job in his
office. She was not dressed for trav
eling, however, having on a plain
house dress and a bright red sweater.
She was minus a hat.
A. B. Wilson, a deputy from Wadley
took the couple back to that place
Anderson is a member of the Right
Way Athletic Club of Macon, and is

Stand by the Preachers
Ministers in any community are leaders in
solving moral and spiritual problems. Re
moved from the conduct of commerce, they
can see moral distinctions a little clearer than
some of the rest of us.
Support Them by Church Attendance
The ministers are working only for the good of
the community. When they say, “Let’s do it/'
they deserve to be supported by all progressive
citizens who desire constructive advance. Regu
lar church attendance on the part of each family
in the community will encourage the preachers
in their job of helping the world.
Whatsoever things are true—whatsoever things are honest

The Girl at Information
HIS is the girl at Information. In the
Ol larger cities there are a number of In
formation operators on duty all the
time. t
They are just well trained, efficient, special
telephone operators whose chief duty is to
6up; \y subscribers with telephone numbers
not listed in the current telephone directory
•
They have all of the necessary records
and data for that purpose and they are al
ways ready to furnish numbers quickly,
cheerfully and courteously.
When the Information operator is asked
for a number she always looks first in the
current directory. T t is quite surprising
that most: of the reques ' answered by Infor
mation are for numbers . 1 ready listed in the
directory.
When there is a multitude of such unnec
essary calls the Information service is slowed
down and those who have a real need for it
experience a delay.
You can help your Information operator
to be of even greater service to you, if you
will not ask her for numbers that you can
find in the telephone directory.
