Juuouno from the “Record,” the
late extra session of oongreBS didn’t
make any political capital for the re*
publicans. In fact, it didn’t make
anything exoept talk. It killed time.

Col/R. D. Locke, chief deputy
United States marshal for the south
ern distriot of Georgia, died at his
home,in Maoon last Sunday night.
For many years he was one of the
most influential republicans in Geor
gia, and had been U. S. marshal,
postmaster at Maoon and held other
important official positions.
With the exception of 1,200 tons
received last May, no Peruvian gua
no haB been shipped to the United
States since 1880. Now it is said
conditions have so changed that
shipments of that fertilizer may be
again mnde at suoh prioes as to in-,
Bure its use. On November 27th a
cargo of 4,000 tons of Peruvian gua
no was reoeived at Baltimore.
In naming the committees of the
House of Representatives of the
58th congress, Speaker Cannon gave
one place to eaoh of the Georgia
representatives. Representative Lew
is of the third district was given his
former position on the banking and
currency committee, The democrats
being in the minority, all did not re
ceive committee appointments.
The government report last Thurs
day that the ootton crop of 1908 was
9,962,089 bales oreated a considera
ble rise in price, fully one cent a
pound above the closing price of the
day previous. Conservative mem
bers of the New York ootton ex
change predicted a rise to 15 cents
a pound. The record of sales on the
exchange was greater than ever be
fore known in one day.
The late report from the depart
ment of commerce and labor con
cerning cotton statistics shows that
7,070,432 commercial bales had been
ginned up to November 14th. The
report for Georgia shows 999,633
bales ginned up to that date. The
amount shown for Texas is 1,932,549
bales. The report of last year show
ed that 9,311,830 bales had been
ginned up to December 18th.

Though iu session six weeks or
more, the extra Bession of congress
has nothing to its credit except the
appointment of committees and a
lot of political talk. The specifio
purpose of the president was to se
cure the passage of a law making
effective the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba, but the Senate deferred ac
tion on that measure to the regular
session. This looks like a rebuke to
the president.
Senator Hanna was in conference
with President Roosevelt several
hours at the white house last Fri
day night, and as a definite result, a
report was published that “the rela
tions between the two are those of
cordial and appreciative friendship.”
The rumor that there had been or
was likely to be a break in the pleas
ant relations existing between the
president and the senator was de
clared to be a “preposterous absurd
ity.”
It Depends Upon You.
In due course of time each
becomes a man, providence permit
ting Upon each mac, when he is
young, depends his measure of suc
cess iu business, social and moral
life.
The young man who begins e^rl.y
to do things because his companions
do them will most likely develop in
to a worthless imitator and “hang
er on.”
No man can save money who
spends as much as he earns. As
most young men begin business in a
salaried position, they know their
income exaotly, and are without ex
ouse when their expenditures be
come greater than their receipts.
In Atlanta recently there was an
investigation of the money-lenders
in that city t who loaned small
amounts at exorbitant interest. In
this investigation it was developed
that nearly all the borrowers were
laborers and olerks, men who work
ed for specified hire per month—
wages or salary—name it as you
like.
The lesson is here; he who applies
it correctly will be largely benefi
ted.
To all meu riches in money does
not come, and it is doubtless well,
but there is a competence for all
who will work earnestly and honest
ly-
Just before us now is a holiday
Bsason, when the desire to spend
and to give is well-nigh universal.
It is during suoh a season that curb
ing the desires is necessary. If you
buy beyond yOur means at any time,
privation must aotne later if man
hood is maintained.
It is not so muoh what you make,
but what you save.
You oannot have, unless you keep.

The
BBI
we sold more vehicles last year than dealers who
have been in the business for the last quarter of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more exacting every day.
The first thing they seek now is quality. They
next consider the price. That is sensible.
That explains the whole matter.
Quality and Price is Our Hobby.
We do not consider cheap vehicles at all. We decide on
the BEST wagons and buggies and then buy them so we
can undersell onr competitors.
We get all the discounts off by paying spot cash.
We can prove nil we say to be true.j:
