Extravagance may be defined as a foolish expense, or expense disproportionate to one's means. fe Such extravagance may be fouiul in all grades of Moiety, but it 19 chieSy apparent nraon'i ttie rich, those aspiring to wealth, and those .wishing to be thought affluent. In 'other ftords, it is the overreaching of social ambition, imagination and competition. In order to make a i social demonstration the young man spends, b'-.r-jws, steals in order that he may keep up appearances. When the young man goes beyond his legitimate income to purchase the ater boxes, and finance automobile parties, frequent Rolf links and other places Where the idle and indifferent congregate, he is both mentally and morally dishonest. The man who tries to appear to lie something which he is not is a social thief. In order to keep that appearance before the public he has to actually steal*. In fact, extrava gance. which is the expenditure of money ufm essa.dly, and the ex penditure of r i ney beyond the realms and bonn.li.ries of legitimate lmonies, is but another word for larceny ; trying to steal public opin ion and therefore stealing the money of others la order to perpetuate the show. Some are ambitious of fashionable society, and will gratify their van ity at any expense. The victim ia : straitened for money; without it ha ] must abandon hla rank; for faah -1 ionaWe society remorselessly rejects all butterflies which have lost their brilliant color. Therefore, the young man Who is extravagant and ambi tions must choose between honesty and "hiortifying exclusion, or gaiety purchased by dishonenty. The extravagant person In die t fcgnrst . The News-Herald DESTROY COTTON STALKS EARLY Destroy cotton stalks before frost OR AS SOON AS PICKED. Kill every stalk—this does not ne cessarily mean plowed under, but torn up by roots so stalk will not sprout again. Early killing of stalks forces old weevils into winter qurters or to find other cotton. The earlier weevils are forced into winter quarters the more will die during the winter—those that live come out early and can be poisoned with little expense. BY ALL MEANS DESTROY THE STALKS "EARLY.

Ccops will be ready for all the Poultry Club girls and they will all be expected to send their chickens in Monday morning as -agreed when the eggs were delivered. It is hoped that all exhibitors of poultry as well as those who are in terested will meet Prof. Wood, and especially get? his reasons wly he places the different: coops as he will pi acl them. He operates a large poultry plant and is one of the best informed men along that line that can be found. A movement is on foot to install a 10,000 capacity hatchery in this county, and all that are interested should le: it be known at once. This county has a large number of hens that are as good as can be found, and much bet er than many people getting setting eggs and bahy chicks from, and why not hatch the eggs at home and keep the profit here. Eggs can be hatched for 4 cents each. This will give the .wan who has a surplus of good hens market for his eggs, as well as sup pi;/ the man who has to buy with better stuff at a lower price, and he knows what he is getting. Gwinnett must have a hatchery soon. Yours truly, * A. G. ROBISON. Co.

SEND US YOUR JOB WORK Thi^Week mu inuntsf By Arthur Brisbane Five Years and Changes Power at the Mine. Thanks to Mr. Eastman. Five years ago this month more than 400,000 United States soldiers began the drive on the Argonne. Seventeen thousand were killed, many wounded, in fighting that stretched along a forty mile front. Soon after that the whr was pver. Five years ago, and the soldiers/ to whom excSted and frightened big pocketbooks promised the moon and stars, have not yet received a penny of the pitiftlly small bonus that represents the dwindling down of all the gratitude. There’s a plan to simplify th j coal problem. Railroads won't like it— no "more coal to carry. Middlemen detest it. The idea is change the coal into eylectric cuntent at the mine. Electricity carriesitself over the wires, with 1 o bumping of freight cars, no flat vheels, no loading and unloading. Instead of buying coal, changing it into power and heat five hundred or a ihousad miles from the mine, skilled .labor at the mines would change! coal into electrcity to be used for hiat, light, power, wher ever wanted. That will come in time. It ought tofcome now. Thanks to Mr. Eastman, of Roch ester, and the|wide, wide world, this country sees efficient and thorough development ff musical talent. To help a nation in music is to help it intellectually. Music and intellect are sisters, arouses the brain, refreshes anujjUimulates it, as noth ing else can So. Music is the only stimulant tha« has no “next day” of let down and reaction. Mr. Eastmap’a school of music in the University of Rochester brings to the city and to the students of music the bast musicians of the world, and pffovfiled musical genius with a magnificent setting in a beau tiful opera house, given to the city by Mr. Eastman and paying finan cial profit to no one. Young people from al over the United States win scholarships that give them free teaching and $!,000 a year for living expenses. Thus, one man’s success finds ex pression in a way that benefits an en tire nation. The government has sqld the heart of Muscle Shoals plant to a corpor ation, and that ends Henry Ford’s attempt to get the great water pow er. It ends also the possibility of his carrying out the promise to give the farmers cheap fertilizer and it gives Ford and the farmers perman ent possession of a very good com plaint—if they ever want to use it in politics. The Rev. Arthur Wilde, Sweden borgian, says the Garden of Eden was a state of mind. So is every thing else, including happiness and misery, Epictetus, deformed, and a glave, was happy, Croesus, rollnig in gold, miserable,' worried. Noth ing is real. All wealth gold, dia monds* the s'uii hnd stars our own bodies, represent nothing more solid than electrons and orotons, made of negative and positive electricity, locked up in atoms that vary in con struction, according to the element composed. The elements are interchangeable. Matter has no existence, mind and its states are the only real things, the real universe. There is no big, no little, no beginning, no end. In fact, it’s all quite confusing.

NIX, Attorney at Law, Office in Naw Tanner Buildivj LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. COURT ADJOURNS Gwinnett superior court adjourned ; Friday afternoon after two wt-eks of session at called term. Regular court meets here gain«the first Mon day in December. After placing fines on two wit-' nesses who failed to appear a: this term of the court, who said that the/ were subpoenaed for the Sep tember court and thought they wcuid have to have new subpoenas for the October term, Judge Lewis C. ‘Russell in the superion uourt said: “I want the public to take notice, that when you are subpoenaed as a witness in this court tha: subpoena holds good until the case is cleared from the docket, ir, is not necessary to issue new subpoenas when a case is continued from one term of cour. to another.” The law requires, hie said, judge, solicitor, lawyers, jurors and court officials as' well ae wit nesses to be here. “Running courts is an expensive business, cases cannot be tried when witnesses are absent. The ei» ire country is groaning under the heavy load of taxes, and I am not going to allow delinquent or absent witnesses to throw monkey wrenches in the machinery of this court.” The following cases were tried since our last issue: W. B. Harris was acquitted of selling liquor but found guilty of carrying a pistol concealed and also of pointing a pistol at another and drew a fine of $40.00 and costs in each case. Will Few, charged with cairving a pistol, wap acquitted. Marion Wheeler drew a sentence of three months of $30,00 for steal ing chickens. For stealing chickens Monroe Hopl kins drew a fine- of $50.00 or six months. Jim Johnson, chrged with havnig whisky, was sentenced to six months straight and to py a fine of $200.00 or serve six additional months. R. B. Fortune was found rot guil ty of transporting whisky after a hrd fought case and with the jury Remaining out for several hours. His automobile was likewise ordered re turned to him. The cse against Fortune growing out of the wounding of Howard Gar ner, a son of the sheriff, in the streets of Lawrenceville, following n altercation, was continued until the December term of the court, when th/e attorney’s lawyers challenged the jury panel. Civic Organizations Plan Observance of One Hundredth Anniversary of Doctrine “America for Americans.” Washington, October 11. Civic organizations and school societies all over r.he country are planning cele brations of the one hundredth anni versary of the birth of the Monroe doctrine. In his message to congress of De cember 2, 1823, President Monroe, fifth chief magistrate of the nation, enunciated what has become one of the wost famous doctrines in law and diplomacy, which has become epito mised in the succient phrase, “Amer ica for Americans!” President Monroe’s ' words, which have so largely influenced the course of this nation and the world, were as follows: “The occasion has been judged proper for asserting as a principle, in which the rights and interests of the American continents, by the free and Independent conditions which they have assumed anj> maintained,, hre henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers. “In the wars of the European pow eis, in matters relafing <to them selves, we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously men aced that; we resent injuries or mak:- preparation for our defense. With the movements in this hemisphere w; are, of necessity, more imme diately connected, and by causes vvhicl must be obvious to all enlight ened and impartial observers. The political system of the allied powers, is essentially different in this respect, from that of America. This differ ence proceeds from that which ex ists in their respective governments. And to the defense of our own. which has been achieved by the loss of sc. much blood and treasure, and matured by the wisdlom of their most enlightened citizens, and under which we have enjoyed unexampled feUcity, this whole nation is devoted. “We owe it, therefore, to candor, a .id to the amicable relations exist ing between the "United States and those powers, to declare that we should consider any attempt on their pa) t to extend tfceir system to any portion of this hemisphere- as ddn ge’oas to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies and dependen cies of any European power we have not interfered "nor shall interfere. BLALOCKS LOSE IN COTTON CASE Atlanta, Ga.—-Holding that, while there was much evidence introduced on the side of the defendant, never theless evidence for the plaintiff was sufficient to uphold the verdict of the jury, the Georgia supreme court on Thursday upheld the decision of the trial court in the case of J. R. Adams versus S. T. and A. O. Bla lock. This is the case which figured prominently in the campaign last year for the office of commissioner of agriculture, candidates being A. O. Blalock and J. J. Brown. The case grew out of a loan made to J. R. Adams by A. O. Blalock, act ing for himself and as administrator of the estate of S. T. Blalock, de ceased. The two operated a bank and made the loan to Mr. Adams, taking warehouse receipts on a hun dred bales of cotton as security. When the note fell due, it was re newed, and, when at a later date, Mr. Adams sought a settlement, he found that the cotton had been sold after the first due date, at that time bring ing around 24c per pound. In settle ment, he was offered either the same amount of cotton, or a sum equiva lent to the market price at that time, samples of the original cotton being furnished him. However, in the meantime, the price of cotton had dropped to about 13c per pound and Mr. Adams refused to accept a set tlement this basis and sued for the full value of the cotton at the 24c price. The defendants contended that the contract in the case specified that the lender could realize on the cotton security at any time he saw fit, but 1 the court held that, while there was evidence to support this point, the contrary evidence introduced by the plaintiff was sufficient to justify the findings of the jury. The court held, in its opinion, which was written by Justice Bell, that it was powerless to reverse the ruling of the lower court, or the verdict of the jury, when there was sufficient evidence to justify that verdict and ruling, no matter how much evidence to the contrary migh be introduced. Civic Exhibit _ Of Duluth Club Wins Second Prize Duluth, Ga.—The Duluth Civic- Club received second prize at the Southeastern Fair held in Atlanta last week. While we had worked for the first prize and fully expected to receive the same we are delighted with second prize. Mrs. George Little had charge of this work and deserves a world of credit for her work in getting up this display of fancy work of all kinds, as well s dresses, aprons, etc., too numerous to mention, also a pail- of cotton stockings which was planted, raised and erried through all the dif ferent processes ending in the knit stockings by Mrs. Dora Burnett. 1 The canned goods and cakes, pies, custards, breads etc, would have been a credit to any domestic science class.

ACCIDENT f. ~ - —— With the public highways so dusty travel so great there have been several automobile accidents during the past week in Gwinnett county, the most serious of which perhaps was the injury sustained when Mr. Iverson Russell, of this city and a motorcycle containing two brothers, said to be Messrs.

After clering the com missioner of all charges concerning the Kittrell hotel expense voucher, the alleged raised bill from the Wrig ley Engraving company, and the charge that he allowed J. M.
