That National Prosperity Association
wauts everybodg to quit “agitating.”
Its motto is “Let Us Alone.” Well,
that may be all right for the immense
commercial concerns of the eountry—
the manufacturers, etc.—but it is all
wrong for the ordinary business house.
You don’t want people to let you
alone. You want them to come around
and buy goods, don’t you?
But they will let you alone unless
you. “agitate.”
And the way to agitate is to ADVEDR
TISE.

“I beg your pardon,” said the
sfranger on the bicycle, riding slowly
up to the sidewalk and steadying him
self by putting bis foot on the eurb
“put I am looking for a restaurant
where I can get a good meal. Can you.
direct me to one?”
The man whom he addressed was
standing in front of a store trying to
rub a grain of sand out of his eye
with one hand and holding his hat on
with the other, for it was a windy
day, and at first he made no response:
But presently he spoke. i
“Go to the next block,” he said, “and
turn to the right. Four doors down
you will find a restaurant.”
The stranger thanked him and rode
en. About an hour later they acci
dentally met again. The stranger was
on his way out of town. He stopped
and spoke; :
“My friend,” he said, “I followed
vour directions., 1 went to the restau
raut yon directed me to, and 1 got the
t worst meal I ever had in my life.”
{ “I thought you would,” answered
| the other. *“lf you had waited till 1

in the course ot his Augusta ‘speech,
( "’M&elect Joseph M. Brown
S§d: -
: t “Free people do not have a gov
egot, but govern themsélves, and I
ht say that whea they make up

yMr Brown said that he did not
r end to try to defeat any man who |
‘dpposed . him. He said that the
eople did not send the represenas’
tiyes to the legislature to represnt
% governor but to represent the
jgople. He said that as a free
;f’.“_vnkiug people ‘every man had a
;}?'ht_tt‘) his own opinion, and that he
as not going to try to defeat any
fegislator who did not think as he
&. When speaking' of the ques:
gr'"'of a leader he said that the peo
‘ple of Georgia did not need a leader
gbad,qs some ot the people thought
they did, but what they wanted was
é: tmtl; I have faath in the peo
ple ot Georgia.V .
« "4T¢ has'come to me that I'm to be
the tool of some man or set of men.

people of the state as a whole, 1
Will be the hammer and you the

44l be the strong arm to guide t.
Lwill not mash the hand with the
hammer, nor with the trowel, but
will work for the upbuilding of busi
ness and commercial industries all
over the state.
I will work for prosperity and
wealth for the entire state. Isl am
to be a tool I will sclect the hammer,
trowel and hoe, ana will work fcr
nothing but the n*erest ot the state
at all times. I will not look out for
any special interests, but will work
for equal rights to all and special
privileges to none.”
Mr. Brown’s cohception of the
duties of the Governor are not only
sound, but he states the case admir
ably. Heé shows that he is a Dem
ocrat in the strongest scase of that
word and that he believes in the
people ruling. His ideas of con
structive statesmanship are also what
Georgia needs at this time. With
an cxecutive working to build up
industries, rather thap harass and
frighten them away, there 1s no tel
ling what Georgia will accomplish
in growth and development during
the rext few years,
We verily believe that a new e
poch is at band in the material well
