The Herald and Advertiser NEWNAN, FRIDAY, A U (i 1. 14. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN ADVAUCB. • 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.’’ f rice 5()c, at all dealers. Don’tsimply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan’s 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. ALEX.

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!” Fewer men are driven to drink by misfortune than are driven to misfor tune by drink.

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.
