water plant profitable. It says:
Thomasville possess an ideal water
and light service. There has not
been an interruption in service in
years and the city has always run it
on moderate rates and cleared a big
dividend on the investment, and the
public service is unequaled and
costs the government practically
nothnig. This is one of the big Items
that go toward making Thcmsville
the ideal home city.

SAYS Ir3sSi
Don’t Be a Knocker
V(>» can uust the thoughtless to ‘'knock" the thoughtful. No good
work is safe from miseoustruction, livery saint lias had his defamer.
That which made him a saint was the power to rise above the untruths
hurled at him by those who could not themselves create truths.
The negative forces in this world always oppose the positive forces;
hut in (.tie whirl of new events and the fresh tomorrows, the world, in
Its desire to honor those who pusli good forward, is glad to forget those
who pull backward.
Those who follow the lines of least resistance, who glide away from
the diflicultics of life, who seek only personal ease and comfort, are
always quick to condemn those who labor for a common good and for
the comfort and the liberties of the many.
The man who lacks an accurate eye and a steady aim can make a
loud noise witli blank cartridges hut he makes a poor soldier. Those
who produce nothing attempt to justify their own inertia by criticising
those wtio do produce something.
When criticism Is observation, it is constructive; when it is jealousy,
it is destructive. The one seeks to correct; the other to contemptuously
destroy Criticism becomes noble when it seeks not to antagonize but
to foster a good work.
Truth at all times is service. When criticism attempts to rectify
error, improve judgment and refine public taste, it becomes a public
benefaction. Criticism becomes strongest wlieu it exhibits the weak
ness of a thing only to suggest something better.
The criticism that counts is the criticism that builds and encourages
good effort. The criticism of those who can do the thing criticised less
well or not at all has little weight and is soon forgotten.
The critic suggests something better; it is the "knocker" who con
demns and offers nothing in return.
Iflvery conqueror must some time meet his master. Ttist is the lav,’
of progress, and his master will he (lie critic who can do better.

THE SANDERSVILLE PRO
GRESS is strong for fairs. It pre
sents the subject in this way::
Fairs have been held at many
places in Georgia this month and
they will continue into the coming
month. This gives the people an op
portunity of displaying their pro
ducts to advantage and at the same
time affords occasions for the citi
zens of the various counties to as
semble at a common meeting place
and renew acquaintanceship with
those whom they have not mingled
with for many months and years.
This recreation is beneficial to all
who attend, and many new ideas are
gathered which are valuable for the
coming years.
A ROADHOG MENAACE T 3 LIFE
We do not know of a more dan
gerous type of citizen than is the
“roadhog”—the speeder and reck
less driver of automobiles. A “road
hog” has no regard for his own safe
ty and less, if such were possible,
for the other fellow. Such charac
ters should be curbed and treated
with as outlaws by the courts and
the fullest punishment provided by
law should be meted out in all cases.
The bright light fiend is another
dangerous citizen. On the highways
more accidents occur from the bright
light fiend than any other source
save that of the “roadhrog.” It has
grown to be dangerous to ride over
the highways, at night especially.
These fiends revel in fast driving
and seem to court accidents, death
and destruction. It is unimaginable
that anyone with a particle of com
mon sense or even breeding or char
acter would be guilty of such acts,
but there are many of this kind and
daily they are met with on the high
ways.
Reasonable laws have been enact
ed by the legislature for the protec
' tion of the public from such outlaws
and the enforcement should be uras
! tically carried out by the officers of
I the law. Ordinary treatment, that
is, fines and imprisonment, do not
check this class of violators of the
law. Heavy fines and sentences
should be imposed and in extreme
cases no fines should be allowed, but
prison sentences imposed.
Until the courts of the land be
come firm in their enforcement of
the law against the. “roadhog” and
the bright light fiend, accidents and
deaths are bound to be the result
and the lives of good citizens given
to pay the toll of the acts of an in
discreet and lawless citizen.

Any questions on etiquette
tcill be gladly answered in
this column if addressed to
A. Leda, care of this news
paper.
There is more to Etiquette than
just doing tliis or that correctly.
How we eat or how act is impor
tant of course, but how we talk is
even more so. People judge us daily
(much more than we realize) by the
language we use. Whether it’s
French, English, Spanish or German,
it matters not—the grammar must
tie correct. Good English is a sign
of good breeding and good breeding
is what makes a man or woman a
lady or gentleman. What we think
and what we say shows what we
are —and our ability to say it.
Here are a few expressions so
often heard, which quickly reveals
a lack of culture: So many times
we hoar "yeti" instead of “yes,”
"she don't” instead of “she does
not." “Between you and I” is often
heard but “between you and me" is
correct. When one designates the
sex, use the words man or woman.
Do not say, "She is a very hand
some lady” or “He is a fine looking
gentleman.” Also when speaking of
one’s husband do not refer to him
as Mr. 11. in other words, do not
say Mr. Brown will join us. Either
say (if speaking to a personal
friend), “Jack will join us," or at
any other time “my husband will
join us.”

Yes. very decidedly. It is a very

is a written or verbal apology within
twenty-four hours afterwards, cross
this man off from your list of ac
