WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT
IN MUSIC BY GOLDSMITH
Prof. E. M. Goldsmiht, who
taught music here at Lawrenceville
last year, has compiled a book
which has simplified the method of
counting time in music so complete
ly and scentifically the music world
has become amazed at this wonder
fully treatise on time.
Prof. Goldsmith gave a lecture at
the Presbyterian church Tuesday
evening and explained his simplified
method of counting tme thoroughly.
After the lecture many books were
sold and delivered to his former pu
pils and friends.
This simplified method of count
ng has been pronounced by many
of the most learned musicians to be
in a class to itself and the most won
derful method they have ever seen.
It is good for the unlearned and bet
ter for the learned musician.
It is of vital importance that the quality and quantity of the cotton of our
section should be kept at the highest standard. A county with a reputation
for growing fine cotton always has plenty of buyers—competition brings top
prices. After thoroughly investigating SALSBURY Cotton and the high
standing of the firm that produces it, we believe its introduction would be a
great benefit to our community and have undertaken its distribution in this
vicinity.

SAVANNAH BOARD OF TRADE
ISSUES TOURIST FOLDER
Savannah, Ga., January 14.--The
Savannah board of trade has just
issued a handsomely designed and
profusely illustrated tourist folder,
a copy of which has been received
at the office of this paper. The
cover is a beautiful piece of work
in four colors while over one hun
dred photographs of the principal
streets, homes, buildings and his
torical points of interest occupy the
ten inside pages of the booklet.
The reading matter has been much
condensed, seting a new style in
tourist literature, the efforts to
Savannah to tell its story being
largely confined to pictures.
To those who have visited Geor
gia’s oldest city or who contem
plate making a trip there, the fold
er will be of much interest and the
board of trade will gladly mail
copies to those persons writing for
them.
This is Savannah’s first substan
tial piece of tourist literature is
sued there in many years and marks
the beginning of a vigorous move
ment to attract a fair proportion of
the tens of thousands of travelers
to Florida each year.
Savannah plans the expenditure
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
in advertising its advantages in the
next few years and this folder is
the forerunner of that effort.
Much indirect advertising for Geor
gia will result.
THE LESSON OF FRANKUN.
January 17th is the anniversary
of Benjamin Franklin’s birthday, is,
quite appropriately also, one day of
national thrift week.
We say quite appropriately be
cause of all the many virtues pos
sessed by Franklin none of them is
-more worthy of emulation by the
people of this day and generation
than the practice of thrift l —a prac
tice which enabled him to start as a
poverty-stricken tramp printer and
end his days as one of the wealthi
est and most influential men of his
time.
One might properly ask, “What
is thrift?” and “Why do they start
a campaign to try to persuade me
10 start a bank account, own my
home, make a budget, carry life in
surance, pay my bills and make a
will?” These are fair questions
and here is a fair answer:
“Thrift is vision. Vision is
thrift.”
At times the idea of starting a
bank account or taking out life in
surance or buying your own home,
or making budgets, or wills, occurs
to all of us, but, with our usual hu
man frailty and procrastination, we
lack that quality of decision and
determination to crystallize the idea
into concrete action.
Therefore, a number of national
ly prominent men and women have
banded themselves together to con
centrate the minds of Americans
on the things we ought to do—
things that we owe it to ourselves
and to our relatives to do—and for
JTTING DOWN on the advertis
ing appropriation when busi
ness is dull is like cutting down on
* %
the cow feed when the milk runs
short,
the next seven days they will preach
the gospel of thrift, which is the
gospel of good sense, so as to focus
our attention on our plain duty.
Throughout national thrift week
you will find the bankers, insurance
men, real estate dealers and others
whose advice you will need ready
and willing to be of unusual service
to you. And—don’t forget that
friend wife is one of the greatest
little financiers in all this world, and
that she can give you a tremendous
lift when it comes to making up the
family budget.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS AT THE
TOMB OF KING TUT
The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
of New York City, in outfitting its
Egyptian expedition last summer,
for a tour of exploration In the
Egyptian Valley of the Kings, site
of the tomb of the famous King
Tutankhamen, included two 1250-
watt Delco-Light plants as a part
of the equipment which will pro
vide aid and comfort to the explor
ers, during their stay in this remote
and ancient valley.
The outfit permits electric light
ing over a wide area, at any time,
with plenty of current for all light
that might be required.
The explorers use flood lights
and search lights, as well as ordin
ary forms of electric lighting. Elec
tric light bathes hte ancient hill
sides surmounting the old, old valley
on many a dark Egyptian night, and
members of night-bound Arab cara
vans, out on the distant desert
sands, gaze in awe at the unwonted
spectacle of . hafts of electric light,
rising from amid the tombs of dead
and gone rulers; to pierce the dark
that hovers over the desert land-.
It goes without saying, also, that
the sojourn of the explorers in the
land of King Tut is more comforta
ble and endurable by reason of the
electric lights, electric fans and
other electrical conveniences which
they enjoy in their quarters there in
this Egyptian valley.

GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY.
By MARVIN FRANKLIN
If all church members in Law
renceville went to church each Sun
day the seating capacity of the
churches would be insufficient to
accomodate them. If every member j
attended only ones ervice a day our
houses of worship would be well
filled. If all the non-members in
town would go to church once on
Sunday, they alone would make
more than go to prayer meeting. But
the tragic truth is that a large por
tion of our population never go to
church or go at very, very rare in
tervals.
We need a revival of church at
tendance in Lawrenceville. Every
man, woman and child can have a
part in thlit revival. It would be one
of the best things our town could
have. Will you do your part in it?
The following is the program of
services at the Methodist church for
next Sunday, January 30.
10:30. Sunday school—A class
for every age—find yours.
11:30. Morning worship. Ser
mon on “Tests of Character.”
6:45. The Epwort hLeague.
7:30. Evening service. Sermon
subject, “The Man Who Was Some
where Else When He Was Needed.”
Don’t you be that man Sunday
night.
CARD OF THANKS.
I want to thank all the people,
both white and colored, for their
hard work trying to save what I had.
I know that they worked hard while
in vain. I never will forget as long
as I live. I will remember you all In
my prayers.

New York City.—They put it
up to John McCormack this year
to select the world’s most repre

There were thousands of con

BOY WHO MASTERED
FOURTH DIMENSION* Vr« *
T
II EARNS $23 A WEEK
' * ‘ -
New* York.—William J. Sidis, who
at the age of- two years.could read
and write, and at the age of eleven
delivered a lecture on the “Fourth
Dimension” before Harvard profes
sors, is making $23 a week as a sta
tistical clerk, at the age of twenty
six. ii . *
Behind this is the story of a curi
ous tragedy which befell a boy pro
digy, son of the late Dr.. Boris Sidis,
internatinoally known authority of
psycho-pathology.
At the age of seven years young
Sidis passed the Harvard medical
school examinations in anatomy,
having mastered elementary mathe
matics. At eight he could speak Rus
sian, German, French, and with a
working knowledge of Latin and
Greek, passed the entrance exami
nations of the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology. At ten he en
tered Tufts’ college, and the follow
ing year he entered Harvard.
Young Sidis received his bachelor
of arts degree ni Harvard at six
teen, and two years later, after fur
ther study in art and sciences, he
became an instructor in mathemat
ics at Rice Institute, Houston, Tex.
Th follownig year he was arrest
ed with eleveri others in a socialistic
demonstration in Boston. After be
ing sentenced to eighteen months in
jail he appealed his case, defaulted
and then disappeared.
His illustrious father died last Oc
tober hut the son didn’t attend the
funeral. He was “not interested.”
He remains aloof from his mother.
In an inexpensive ill fitting suit he
j.t.s today and day afted day, an add
ing machine at* his side, working
from 9 to 5 the humdrum life of
busy New York. All he asks is a
litle margin to put aside for a rainy
day.
One day' I chanced to pass
A beaver damming the river;
A man who had run out of gas
Was doing the same thing to his
flivver.
No rooim’ Him
A certain well known man went
away at the conclusion of an im
portant case before the judgment
had been pronounced. A few hours
later his lawyer wired him as fol
lows:
“Right has triumphed.”
The W. K. M. wired back;
“Appeal at once.”
