HOSPITAL DAY. OCT. 4TH
We would remind our people
again that October 4th wil be the
occasion of the annual Hospital Do
nation Day.
A year ago when this plan was
inaugurated we were impressed with
the generous response of the people
to thie worthy cause. They came
from every walk in life bringing
their gifts to help this great institu
tion in our community contniue its
work for the relief of suffering hu
manity.
The hospital is one of greatest in
stitutions and one that we cannot
oyer rate in its value to Milledge-
ville. We are confident that the re
sponse this
succeed in this world, if you tell
the whole truth and deceive no one.
“I should lose orders, if I did not
sometimes hand a rake-off to the
buyer," salesmen have been known
to say.
Possibly a firm or an individual
can win a temporary success by
these excessively clever methods.
But one should not be too confident
*hat such success will last. The
merchant who sells you inferior
stuff for a god price, without mak
ing it clear that it is inferior, often
makes money for a time. But some
day his customers wake up to the
fact that they are being buncoed.
Gradually they disappear, and patro
nize old-fashioned concerns that ar<
more anxious to please their cus
tomers than to get rich all at once.
Similarly the salesman who de
pends on rake-offs and • hand-outs,
may be known as a tremendous go
getter for a time. But the concern
that permit their buyers to accept
such tips, will probably get loaded
up with a lot of inferior stuff. The
accounts sold to such houses do not
appear to be too god a risk. A trade
built up of honest sales, to buyers
whose only concern is to get reli
able goods at the best possible
price, will last longer. Our guess is
that when you find a concern that
has a substantial business that last
ed through the recent hard times, it
-paid some attention to morals and
ethics on days other, than Sunday.
That’s the kind of bttiness we do in
Milford and most of Delaware.

TRADING IN MIL LEDGE VILLE
Prospects arc good for a splendid
trading season in Milledgeville. and
in anticipation of this merchants
have stocked goods which compare
favorably with models found in
larger cities.
No matter what conditions are.
merchants are expected at all times
to supply demands of the trading
public. They must cater to the vari
ous needs and desires of the people
and this necessarily entails much
ponse on their part.
monthly installments without inter
est, thus making the payments small
and easy to meet.
Mr. Ham, city clerk and treasurer,
urges the people to avail themselves
of this opportunity now and get
their contracts signed. We commend
to our people this plan and urge
that they comply wi 4 h Mr. Ham’s
request.
FAITH*’ HEALING DANGEROUS
"Faith" healing as practiced among
i few rural inhabitants of other
states is about to result in serious
consequences.
The North Carolan preacher who
allowed a rattlesnake to bite him

:- he termed faith ;n the Lord. The
j recovery of this one man without
! medical aid is just one case in
mark in the city. This house stood
for more than three-quarters of i
century, and was for years thi
home of the family of Mr. H. E.
Hendrix, one of the most prominent
families in the city. Of late, it has
been a boarding and apartment
house. But our older citizens re
member that during the time the
Hendrix* lived there it was one of
the city’s most attractive homes.
There are two members of the
first graduating class of G. M. C.,

the town as a whole is benefitted.
There is no finer asset than a splen

An 8-year-old child cannot have

POLITICS IN THE PAST

Our obligation and the obliga

to our communities and their fel

have in the past in service to all
our peopk and have never allowed
the best interest of those who mean
most to us to be clouded with politi
cal prejudice and unfairness.
The campaign is over. May we for

betterment of our community and
the people who constitute its citi

TRAFFIC FATALITIES
Throughout the country the people
are aroused by recent statistical in
formation issued by the National
Safety Council of America showing-
an enormous increase in traffic fa
talities. In the first six months of
this year there was a 20 per cent
increase in motor car deaths
the same period of last year.
In the first six months of this
year 14.750 persons were killed by
motor cars. In the same period last
year 12.270 met death and in the
first six months of 1932 the total
was 13,078. In June of this year, the
last month for which figures are
available. 1700 were killed in traffic
accidents. This was the highest for
any month this year. It was an in
crease of 200 over May and of 300
over June of last year.
In Washington city for the first six
months of this year the increase in
motor car fatalities is 100 per cent.
The toll of the national capital has
been doubled. Dr>s in Washington
point out that this increase was at
leart simultaneous with the repeal
period. They also point out that
there has been an increase in arrests
for drunken driving of 43 per cent

No doubt liquor is responsible for
a good deal of the increase in fa
talities. Courts everywhere have
been lenient with the drunken
driver fond of liquor drinks again

unfit to go into traffic. It has been
