Men Grow Strong With Muc h
Labor.
Thin in tin 1 age of Imsinoss ami
there is danger that the higher in
leroHtH of men will he submerged
and cheeked out by the crowding
concerns of our money seeking ei\
ili/.ution. The refinements of art,
tilt 1 beauty and glory of nature,the
power of repose, the adventure of
the ideal—all these things should
have a place in a career that is
worth while, thus enlarging life’s
scope.
Mere material success usually is
lopsided. It is not long ago that
Andrew Carnegie, our Hismurk of
business, delivered a weighty ut
terance upon the insufficiency of
wealth as an ideal aim in life.
“Money,’’said Mr. Carnegie,“does
not make a man happy . I would
give up all the wealth I have rath
er than be denied the pleasure that
comes from the study of literature
and art. If Mhakcspcarc and W ag
ner, the mountain peaks of liter
ature and music, were taken out
of my life, lift 1 would he poor in
deed.”
Here is testimony, competent,
relevant and pertinent—-the testi
mony of a disinterested witness,
writes Kdwin Markham. Here are
texts for many serious meditations.
These doctrines cry out against a
soul su(locating absorption in bus
iness, but do they set the word of
approval on an ideal life; Ho they
mean that work is a misfortune to
bemoan, an incubus to bo shaken
oil'.' Is labor the Old Man of the
Sea astride the bended back of
Life! Nay, verily.
We are outgrowing the crude
tradition that work is a curse, a
hindrance to a complete life. It is
the mark of a shallow thinker to
fancy that, if it were not for work,
life would break open around him
into lieautiful satisfactions.
There is no curse of work work
that is not sla\ isli drudgery; for
work is as normal to man as play
is to a tiger’s cub. Hut in the
ashes of hope there is a curse upon
the paradise of the idle, deep as
the dust of graves.
So the chief concern of every
man should be to become oriented
—to find out his errand to the
earth. This is a part of the obli
gation laid upon every soul. The
animal does not have to seek for
its mission, does not have to find
its way . In normal conditions the
animal is pushed on in the path of
its foreordained career, but man
must co-operate consciously with
the powers that make for his prog
ress and his peace.
One look in life makes clear the
fact that man is not here to roll as
an aimless stone down a swift
river. No; he is not here to drift
with the stream, but to turn the
course of the stream, lie is not

To Build Telephone Line.
T h e much-talkcd-of Franklin
and Newnan telephone line will
now be a reality. It will be built
by the Southern Hell people from
Newn.m, via Handy, to within five
miles of Franklin and the Gaines-
boro people will build out to meet
them. The line will be construct
ed at once and it is expected that
it will be in operation by Nov. 1st
or very soon thereafter. It will
be a first-class line and will have
some fifty subscribers on it.
It is understood that all sub
scribers on the line will have free
connection with the exchange at
both Franklin and Newnan, no
charge on the long-distance route
between the two points. The

all cotton at the expense of food
supply crops. When every cotton
grower in the South, be he tenant,
cropper or landlord, has establish
ed his own financial institution, in
the form of a well filled corn crib
and smokehouse upon his own
premises, the great reform in the
future handling of the cotton crop
and demanding fair and profitable
prices for its sale, will have been
placed upon a substantial and per
manent footing. These are facts
which are known to every grower
and must be admitted by every
person at all familiar with the cot-
ion industry of this country. No
grower need say that he cannot
produce his food supplies at home,
if he tries. We have the soil, cli
mate and intelligence in abundant
quantities. All that is needed for
success is for each mm to make

Thousands of Georgia corpora

the State, are braving the penalty
of 850 fine which may be put upon 1
them on and after November 1st,
next, for failure to comply with the
act of the last general assembly re
quiring them to register with the
secretary of state for which the law
charges a fee of only 81.
There appears to he a disposition
on the part of some corporations
to ignore the law, not a few think
ing, doubtless, that they will pass
unnoticed. Attention was then
called to the fact, however, that
there is a legal record of every
Georgia corporation in the office of
the clerk of the court and it may
be put down that none of them will

Although the law has been of
force for two months, and only
three weeks remain in which to
comply witl\ its terms, iess than
1,000 out of some 15,000 to 20,000
corporations doing business in
Georgia have registered. The
small corporations are responding
more freely than those of larger
proportions, but none of them are
giving heed to the law with that
ptompfness which will be neces
sary jt they are generally to com
ply with it by the required time,
November 1st.
Under this law every corpora
tion doing business within the

tion or working under a Georgia
charter, is required to comply with
the terms of this registration act
by November 1st. Secretary of
State Pnilip Cqok has already sent
