NEWNAN, FRIDAY, SEPT. 4.

Mothers.
“All that I am or hope to he,” said
Lincoln after he had become President,
“I owe to my aged mother.”
“My mother whh the makingof me,”
said Thomas Edison, recently. "She
was so true, so sure of me, I felt that
1 had someone to live for—Bomeone I
must not disappoint.”
"All that I have ever accomplished
in life, ” declared Dwight L. Moody, the
great evangelist, “I owe to my mo
ther.”
"To the man who has had a good
mother, all women are sacred for her
sake," said Jean Paul Richter.
The testimony of great men in ac
knowledgment of the boundless debt
they owe to their mothers w ould make
a record strotching from the dawn of
history to to-day. Few men, indeed,
become great who do not owe their
greatness to a mother’s love and in
spiration.
How often we hear people in every
walk of life say, “1 never could have
done thiB thing hut for my mother.
She believed in me, encouraged me,
when others saw nothing in me.”
"A kiss from my mother made me a
painter, ” Baid Benjamin West.
A distinguished man of to-day says,
“I never could have reached my pres
ent position had I not known that mo
ther expected me to reach it. From a
child she made me feel that this was a
position she expected me to (ill, and her
faith spurred me on and gave me power
to attain it.”
Many a man is enjoying a fame
which is really due to a Belf-effacing
mother. People hurrah for the Gover
nor or Congressman, but the real se
cret of his success is often tucked away
in that little unknown, unappreciated,
unheralded mother. His education and
his chance to rise may have been due
to her sacrifices.
It is a strange fact thut our mothers,
the moulders of the world, should get
so little credit and should be so seldom
mentioned among the world's achievers.
The world sees only the successful Bon;
the mother is hut a round in the ladder
upon which he has climbed. Her name
or face is seldom Been in the papers;
only her son is lauded and held up to
our admiration. Yet it was that sweet,
pathetic figure in the background that
made his success pOBBible.
There is no one in the average family
thejvalue of whose services begins to
compare with those of the mother, and
yet there is no one who is more gener
ally neglected or taken advantage of.
She must remain at home evenings and
look after the children when others are
out having a good time. Her cares
never cease. She iB responsible for the
housework, for the preparation of
meals; she has the children’s clothes to
make or mend; there is company to be
entertained, darning to be done, and a
acorn of little duties which must often
be attended to nt odd moments snatched
fromjher busy duys, and frequenly she
is working at night long after everyone
m the house is asleep.
Live Within Your Means.
We are defeated in our attempts to
make home cheerful and happy because
we pay too much and work too hard.
We task ourselves so much in the at
tempt to collect the materials for en
joyment that they give us little pleas
ure when collected. Neatness and or
der are excellent virtues in a family,
but they can he carried to such an ex
cess as to be a daily torment to every
body in thh house. The best clock has
the fewest, wheels and makes the least
noise, and the simpler the order of our
domestic life, the better and huppier it
will be. Live within your means.
Make your dress, your house, your
furniture, your style of living, such us
will not subject you to struggle and
anxiety to keep up appearunces. Be
content to Bet a poorer table than your
rich neighbor, who lias a French cook;
and be not ashamed of your faded car
pet if you can't atford a new one. Do
not mind what the world says; this is
your business and not theirs. Outside
friends and guests must be drawn to
your house, not so much by costly din
ner service and lavish entertainment,
as by the kind and gracious manners of
those who give the invitations.

The Moods of the Sea.
Gan Hall.
Some of us know the brooding silence
of the mountains, the peace of the
evening sky, the repose of the valleys.
But if we love nature in all her ways
we should know the moods of the rest
less sea, rippling in gladneBB at the
touch of the gentle breeze, roaring in
darkening fury at the passing storm,
breathing with deepswelling bosom
when the strong winds have passed.
At one moment the sea is like a pol
ished field of silver and pearl; the next
gray, like the sky of December, and in
a little while as purple as the faraway
peaks of a great mountain.
The sea is never still. It is quick
with eternal life, charged with ever
lasting energy, resistless as God Him
self. It is as pure as the snows of t.he
arctic circle. Its deep caverns are the
wonder of the world. Its tides are
strung by invisible wires to the heaven
ly bodies; its currents come Irom the
ends of the earth. Strange beings
move through the darkness of its deep
valleys, and a thousand voices speak in
the breaker’s roar.
The sea is an evcrchanging field of
beauty. The crest of the waves is
white like daisies of the meadow, and
the faraway cloud shadows are purple
with the color of spring violets. Long
lanes of delicate green flash into being
as the light plays upon the wide water,
then disappear at the coming of vast
fields of blue, and gold, and gray.
Across this vast domain of water the
winds race in unfettered freedom, the
rains fall in aimless plentitude, and in
the darkness of the night the stars
watch through the flying centuries and
see no change with the passing of the
years.
The sea is the great purifying place
of nature. All the riverB bring down
the impurities of earth and pour them
into this ocean of cleansing, and their
waters are made pure again. From her
broad surface the winds and clouds take
them up, and they are sown in showers
across the valleys and the hills. This
change goes on eternally, and is one of
the ceaseless miracles of this wonder
ful world.
The shore line of the ocean is the im
passable limit of man’B activities and
power. Man may go down to the end
of the earth in ships, he may undergird
these wide spaces with cables that car
ry the thought of the world; but he is
powerless when he tries to conquer the
waves or to bring into bondage the
tides of the sea. Immeasurably old is
the watery domain. The first light of
primeval morning fell upon its heaving
waters, and when man, with all of his
power, shall have passed away, the
thunderous roar of its waves shall be
heard in the gathering darkness of the
night of all things.
Col. Roosevelt, whose voice is always
for wur, is deriving a great deal of
satisfaction from taunting the “chau-
tauqua diplomatist” at the head of the
State Department nboift the alleged
folly of his peace treaties and his peace
policy generally. But the same wires
which report these gibes and sneers re
port also the orderly entry of the Con
stitutionalists into the City of Mexico
and the triumph of the peaceful diplo
macy which they deride. One ounce of
fact is worth more than ten tons of
words. Mr. Bryan’s answer to his
critics is found in his success. The
failure of the opposite kind of diplo
macy is found in Europe, now deluged
in blood. Baltimore Sun.
It isn't. the amount of religion a man
has that makes him good and fits him
for heaven; it is the amount he uses.
Long pr <yers and loud professions do
not. count; hut the man who loves his
fellow-men and fellow-women, who
ministers to the afflicted and wears a
smile for all, including his wife and
children; who never smiles on Sunday
or kicks the dog when he ought to kick
himself; who speaks well of people
when their backs are turned, and under
all circumstances keeps an even mind —
that man doesn't have to die to go to
heaven. He feels liHppy all the time
as u matter of habit.
He was middle-aged and untraveled.
For forty-five years he had lived in the
country. At last he made a trip to the
city.
There, for the first time in his life,
he saw a school girl go through her
gymnastic exercises. After gazing at
her with looks of interest and com
passion for some time, he asked a boy
near by if she had fits.
“No,” the boy replied. “Them’s
gymnastics. ”
“Ah, how sad!” said the man. “Hew
long’s she had ’em?”
John had 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 min
ute, 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 whan we
needed it. Now’s your chance.”

Tact Helpful Praise.
Tact, discretion, forbearance and
concession are forever necessary in
daily life—for women, perhaps, most
of all. Tact can be acquired by forming
a habit of avoiding what may annoy
others by deftly changing the drift of
their conversation when it is bearing
toward a subject which is disagreeable
or distressing to someone. Learning
to be tactful Bhould be made an earnest
business. It iB worth while.
Forbearance with the peculiarities of
others prevents friction.
Concessions are giving up insisting on
having our own way, and trying to
look at things fairly from another’s
viewpoint. Practice in this will de
velop the beautiful trait of unselfish
ness—a quality that always wins.
Praise is an encouragement, and
often lifts a load and brightens a heart.
Honest, sensible praise may be given
always where it is due, just because it
is deserved.
Many people are very free with
words of blame, but very slow to give
praise. Children often get more blame
than praise, and are sometimes starving
for a little encouragement.
Boys, if they are worth anything,
will know how to accept praise in the
right way, and will act up to the
estimate put upon them, and will be
helped toward the next endeavor.
A word of cheer will never hurt a
man or a woman, but will give new
energy and hope.
In life’s many relationships the need
is to be human—to try to discover
what is most needed, and to give it
gladly. We need to cultivate an under
standing heart.
Human beings are not made of stone,
but are living spirits. Personal kind
ness and sympathy are of vital im
portance to them. Relationship worth
having grows out of what we ourselves
a - e. There must be the genuine thing
back in our mind—the integrity of in
tention which aims toward the highest
ideals.
It is not so much what we say as
what we are, that matters. Uncon
scious influence is often better than
many words.
We must be sincere, generous, con
siderate, gracious, courteous. We
must learn the art with one another,
and must discipline ourselves in
kindness, interest in others, whole
hearted delight in their happiness, and
a willingness to show our interest and
pleasure.

One of our country exchanges recent
ly received the following letter;
“Please send me a few copies of the
paper which had the obituary and verses
about the death of my child a week or
so ago. Also publish the enclosed clip
ping about my niece’s marriage. And I
wish you would mention in your local
column (if it doesn't cost anything) that
I have two bull calves to sel . Send me
a couple of extra copies of the paper
this week. As my subscription is out,
please stop my paper. Times are too
hard to pay for newspapers.”
“My dear,” said the young husband,
“did you speak to the milkman about
there being no cream on the milk?”
“Yes; I told him about it this morn
ing, and he explained it satisfactorily.
I think it quite a credit to him, too.”
“What did he say?”
“He said he always filled the jug so
full that there was no room on the top
for cream.”
After all, what is this life but a par
able of talents and opportunities. Any
one can have whatever he wishes or be
whatever he desires, if he will pay the
price for it. The price is the sole con
dition. Nature is not tricked. We pay
the full price for what we get. And
we receive what we pay for.
Try to keep fresh and green the
memories of your own childhood when
your own bairns come. It will help you
to concede much to the natural tenden

be patient with your little ones. The

gotten is apt to be a hard father.

Hot a Stalk of Cotton on 1,200-Acre
Plantation.
Americas, Aug. 25. — A 1,200-acre
Sumter county plantation upon which
not one stalk of cotton grows is a re
markable condition here. T. M. Low-
rey, formerly of Seneca. S. C., now a
prosperous planter here, has a $40 000
plantation investment and operates
twenty plows. He prefers producing
grain and raising meat rather than fol
lowing the accustomed all-cotton sched
ule, and this year planted a thousand
acres in oats, wheat, corn and smaller
crops. Not a stalk of cotton was plant
ed. In consequence Mr. Lowrey has
roduced wonderful crops of grain and
ay, which will command war prices,
while he is not worrying over Govern
mental assistance in marketing cotton,
as are other farmers. The Lowrey
plan meets general indorsement just
now.
Defeat of Blease.
Savannah Press.
It appears that South Carolina has at
last repudiated BleaBe. This is good
newB. He never was the man for
Governor of the State, and to think of
him as representing South Carolina in
the United States Senate was impos
sible. It is to the credit of the people
of our neighboring State that Blease
has been put out of commission. It is a
very good thing that Jennings and
Pollock, who contested with Smith and
Blease for the Senatorship of South
Carolina, made such a poor showing in
the primary yesterday that it will not
be necessary to run the race again. We
would hate very much to think that
South Carolina would have to take two
bites at Bleaseism. It ought to have
been destroyed at one mouthful, and it
looks as if it was.
$100,000,000 War Tax Proposed.
Washington, Aug. 27. — War revenue
legislation to add $100,000,000 to the
Government’s annual income was con
sidered to-day at a conference between
Secretary McAdoo, Democratic Leader
Underwood, of the House, and Chair
man Simmons, of the Senate Finance
Committee. Mr. Underwood declined
to say how it was expected to raise the
additional income, but it is generally
understood that the plan for a tax on
tobacco, beer and liquors, and possibly
a stamp tax, will be carried out.
The bill can be drawn quickly, in the
opinion of Administration leaders, and
its introduction in the House is expect
ed to follow immediately a message
from President Wilson asking for such
legislation.
—If we might presume to give a little
advice to those who grow cotton, we
would say: Don’t get scared by the
European war and sacrifice your crop.
Any marked depression of prices will
almost certainly be temporary. Sit
steady, and market no faster than you
are compelled to. If you are one of the
fortunate cotton-growers whose crop is
his own when made, let the other fel
low take the worry and the low prices.
