•
Restoring a
Self-Re-
Debtor’s
spect.
William Maxwell, In Collier'K.
I remember that one December, about
ten years ago, I decided to send a New
Year’s greeting to a lot of debtors
whose indebtedness we intended to wipe
off the books as uncollectable at the
then fast approaching close of our fiscal
year. The letter which we sent was
pronounced by my superior officer:
“About the Billiest thing I ever hbw.”
It started out with a more or less poetic
reference to the dawn of the new year.
We proceeded on the assumption that
delinquent debtors Hre particularly con
scious of their indebtedness on Jan. 1,
although I do not believe they are, nor
that the emphasis laid on this point had
anything to do with the success of our
letter, except as it afforded a Blightly
different and decidedly less peremptory
introduction than is found in most dun
ning letters. The important money
getting paragraph in this letter proved
to he the following:
"From what we believe to be true of
you as a man, the fact that you have
not paid us can mean hut one thing,
viz., that circumstances over which you
have had no control have prevented you
from paying. It would he an imperti
nence for us to inquire into those cir
cumstances. They are a part of your
own private affairs. All that we ask
of you now is that you tell us when you
will pay. If you name a date when you
will pay, we know you will do it. Your
statement of the exact date upon which
we may expect payment will be helpful
to us, because we have the same prob
lems of raising money that you have. We
are a large concern, to be sure, hut for
the same reason that a farmer keeps no
more horses in his stable than he needs
to plow his corn, we keep no more
money in our business than we actually
need. ”
You can’t blame the man who called
this a silly letter, yet it brought sever
al hundred dollars in cash, and prom
ises that ultimately netted several thou
sand dollars. One of the latter was
from a gentleman who had been dis
charged in bankruptcy. He said: “I
guess you don’t know I’m an adjudica
ted bankrupt and don’t owe you a cent
under the law. If you did, you wouldn’t
write me that way. I don’t have to
pay you, but I will on May 1.” He
did. Another gentleman from the
“Hlue Grass,” who had impoverished
himBelf through his fondness for race
horBea, wrote: “1’ve never welshed
yet. I’ll send you the money by July
1.” He sent part of it then and the
rest later. Yes, sir, I’m a great be
liever in a promise that names a defi
nite date of payment, if it serves to re
habilitate the promiser’s self-esteem.
WHY IT SUCCEEDS
Because It's for One Thing Only, and
Newnan People Appreciate It.
Nothing ran tie good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan’s Kidney fills are for one tiling
only.
For week or disordered kidneys.
Here is Newnan evidence to prove
their worth.
A. M. Askew, Tli E. Washington St.,
Newnan, Ga., says: “You may use
my indorsement for Doan's Kidney
fills, as they have been of benefit to
me as well as others of my family.
After seeing one or two cures made by
this remedy in my own home, 1 did not
hesitate to try it myself for an annoy
ing attack of kidney trouble. My hack
pained me most of the time, and morn
ings 1 was stiff and lame. If I did
much stooping, I suffered from a dull,
heavy ache across my loins. A few
boxes of Doan’s fills, procured at the
l.ec Drug Co., rid me of every symptom
of kidney complaint.’’

Kidney fills the same that Mr. Askew
had. Foster-Milhurn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

John hud been very disobedient and
his mother, with a sad face, called to
him to come and receive the punish
ment that followed an infringement of
that particular rule. "Just one minute,
mother," begged John. He knelt down
beside his bed and in a very earnest
voice said: "Oh, Lord, you've often
promised to help us when we needed it.
Now's your chance.”
A Wonderful Century.
Savannah
On the day that the first formal cere
mony in the Anglo-American peace
centennial celebration was held in
Kngland the first step was taken to
wards plunging Europe into n terri
ble war. The first step was enough
to furnish a contrast with the gath
ering of Englishmen and Americans
at old Sulgrave Manor, the ances
tral home of George Washington, and
their talk about the hundred years
that have passed since the two great
English speaking peoples were at war
with each other.
It has been a wonderful century since
the close of the war of 1812. Not only
is the war different now, but peace is
also. The whole world has changed, so
far 88 material things go. Railroads,
electric cars in the streets and above
them, flying machines, electric lights,
wireless telephone, telegraph, automo
biles—the list is endless —have trans
formed the earth.
But they have not transformed the
people. They are unchanged in many
ways. They still are prone to quarrel
and fight, and nations, which are much
like individuals, are still prone to send
their armies and ships to battle. The
same old human nature exists. Very
likely it has not changed much since
the days when men fought with slings
and clubs. Weapons have changed, but
the same desire to kill, the same blood
lust, the same angry passions, hatreds,
race antipathies, are there. They
pull the trigger now just as formerly
they swung the sling.
The Old-Time Neighbor.
The Chicago Tribune is inquiring
what has become of the "old-time
neighbor,” and the St. Paul Pioneer-
Press remarks that the old-time neigh
bor has passed into tradition. This
leads one of our valued exchanges to
say:
"Not so, brothers. In a thousand
country towns all sti 11 sorrow with the
unfortunate, rejoice with the favored,
mourn with them that mourn. One
housewife run9 over to the neighbor’s
to borrow a cup of flour when the exi
gencies of baking have caught her with
a depleted flour bin. The sick have
flowers and attention, and volunteers
to celebrate birthday or wedding an
niversaries, bringing refreshments and
neighborly cheer.
“No, thank the Lord, the ‘neighbor’
has not passed into the limbo of for
gotten things — not yet. His cheery
word is daily in our ears. Whether he
knows it or not, he is practicing real
Christianity—the highest teaching of
the lowly Nazerene.
“It makes us glad we do not live in
a city like Chicago, where the homely
virtues are to a great extent crowded
out and forgotten. The country town
is a pretty good place in which to live,
after all.”
The Price of Glory.
Suppose you take a look at this cou
ple. There are a Servian man and his
wife in their native dress.
Soon he'll march off with the army
to fight for his fatherland, quite sure
to bleed, perhaps to die. Don’t im
agine he knows the reason why. What
he knows is that there's been a ’’call
to the colors,” which means that off he
must go.
At first there’ll be so much "rah,
rah,” to it that he'll probably march
with pride and maybe swagger a bit
when the officers aren't looking.
Pretty soon, though, his feet will get
sore, his legs will ache, and hunger and i
thirst will gnaw his vitals. If he es
capes the bayonets and bullets there'll
be the fever; so that any way you look
at it, if he gets back at all, it’s ten to
one he’ll be the merest wreck and
shadow of the fine, upstanding, happy-
go-lucky chap you see before you. He
and thousands like him. And all for
what?
At that we’d rather have his fate
than hers. For (her, the long-drawn
agony of lonely waiting; the nerve
wrecking dread; the maddening sus
pense.
Then, any day the enemy may come
and burn her humble home, seize as
plunder the little she has to sustain her
while her man is away, scare if not
murder her children—yes, and that’s
not all or even the worst.
She, too, screaming or fainting—she
and thousands like her—may be fed to
the brutal lusts of human demons;
for war, everywhere hellish, in the
Balkans is every known kind of hell.
Battle glorious? War ennobling?
Yes; when just.
But this war, abruptly forced by the
hate, envy and fear of a big power
upon a small nation, looks merely wan
ton.

The Unhppay Male Thing bent over
and took the Peerless One’s little hand
in his.
“Do you know,” he began recklessly,
fervently, chokingly — for other adjec
tives, see dictionary) — “ever since you
came into my life 1 have been crazy
with love for you?”
"You don’t say so?” she exclaimed
joyously, cequettishy, (for other adjec
tives, see dictionary.)
“Indeed, yes; your beauty has blind
ed my eyes, set my brain awhirl, taken
my breath away. I have quite lost my
heart. Will you marry me?”
The Peerless One laughed in the Un
happy Male Thing’s face.
"What! Marry a man who is blind,
windless, crazy, and who hasn’t even a
heurt! Never!”

“Start me!” cried little Alice from
her perch on the swing. “I want to
go high! Start me!” “Someone can’t
be starting you all the time,” answered
Tommy, half impatient of her demands
upon him, half desirous of giving her
a bit of instruction. “Put your foot
to the ground and start yourself. ” It
is the same story, the same cry, the
world over. People are often longing
to mount high, but for the most part
are sitting still and waiting for some
body to start them. They want to
reach success, but they want to swing
high from the first—to be pushed by
someone’s money, strength or name.
Those who are willing to begin with
their feet on the ground, and start
themselves, are comparatively few.
The little, mild, bald man had settled
down in the train to read, and, feeling
drowsy after a trying day at business,
fell asleep. On the hat-rack above was
a ferocious crab in a bucket, and, reach
ing the edge of the rack, it fell, alight
ing on the little man’s shoulder, and
grabbed his ear to steady itself.
All of the passengers waited expect
antly for developments, but all they
heard was:
"Let go, Sarah! I tell you I’ve been
at the office all the evening.”
Marriage makes or mars a woman’s
life, and a young girl should be plainly
taught that marriage with a man lack
ing certain qualities is a most deplora
ble, irremediable blunder. She must
be made to feel that unless a man is
temperate, moral, honest and gentle,
he has no right to expect to associate
with her;—that, having these qualities,
if she loves him with a love that time
has testpd and proven, she is pretty
safe in trusting herself to him.
"How do you like your new home?”
a friend asked a man who had recently
moved into the village.
“Pretty well. ”
"Have you called on your new neigh
bors yet?”
"No,” the newcomer admitted, "I
haven’t. But I'm going to if any more
of my wood is missing.”
Athens Herald: Mr. Stephens
has received the warm en
dorsement of many members of the
bar all over Georgia, not only in his
home city, but in the cities and small
er communities as well. No organi
zation seeking to control judicial af
fairs in Georgia is behind his can
didacy and if elected he will go to
the bench free and not trammelled by
any hampering influences.
The Savannah Press says: Alexander
W. Stephens is a nephew of Alexander
H. Stephens, also nephew of Judge Lin
ton Stephens of the supreme court of
Georgia. His father was John Alex.
Stephens, a prominent attorney of
Crawfordsville, and a law partner of
Alex. H. Stephens, and at one time
was adjutant general of Georgia. In
Mr. Stephens’ library are the law and
political books of Alexander H. Ste
phens. On his mother's side he is the
grandson of the late William Wingfield
Simpson of Hancock county. He is de
scended from the Wingfield family ot
which there are numbers of descend
ants in Georgia.
Opponent Is Police Recorder.
While Mr. Stephens has been in the
active practice of law for the past 17
years, his opponent lias been out of
the practice for the last 15 years, act
ing as recorder, or police judge, of
the city of Atlanta, a position which
affords no legal experience whatsoever,
it not being a court of law where
law cases are tried. The only duties
of said recorder are the trial of petty
offenders against the city ordinances,
such as drunks and disorderly cases,
and to bind over crap shooters, chick
en thieves and other offenders to the
state courts.
Newspaper Comment ori Mr. Stephens'
Candidacy.
Montgomery Monitor: Mr. Stephens
is a lawyer of recognized ability.
Waynesboro True Citizen: Mr. Ste
phens is making the race for the court
of appeals and is a most popular can
didate. His race is being conducted
in a most clean manner, and he is
winning friends wherever he goes.
Athens Banner: Mr. Stephens is an
able lawyer and well known through
out the state.
Macon Telegraph: Mr. Stephens is
considered a lawyer of ability and
character, and with the judicial tem
perament. His friends say that he
would make an ideal judge, able,
strong and fearless. He is an author
ity on law, and every one who knows
him is confident that as far as ability
is concerned, there is no one in Geor
gia better qualified to fill the high
office to which he aspires.
TECHNICALITIES.
Extract from a Copy of an Article En
titled "Reform in the Judicial Admin
istration of Justice," by Alexander W.
Stephens, Appearing in the Central
Law Journal of August 16, 1912.
Much is said against the so-called
"technicalities" uf the law. While.some
of the discussion is instructive and in
telllgent. most uf it consists of mere
generalities and demagogic assertions.
However fids may be, no one can intel
ligently defend any rule of procedure or
"technicality" which does not aid the
court In arriving at a speedy and proper
determination of the case before it. The
technicalities of file law, as Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, used to say, are
mere instruments to be used only for the
purpose of bringing about justice; and
In so far as they fail of that purpose,
it may be added, they have no place in
a well ordered system of jurisprudence.
