Last week’s North Geor
gian contained the following :
A friend asks us to multi
ply $5 by $5. We do so and
announce the result as $25.
Now multiply 500 cents, give
give the answer in cents, pure
and simple, not as fractional
parts of a dollar. We do and
am surprised to see the figures
climb up to 250,000 cents,
which is $2,500. As $5 and
500 cents are equivalent the
result is puzzling. It cannot
bo urged that decimal marks
should be used. A cent, as
such, is as distinct a unit as a
dollar, and as the result is to
be announced in cents tne
decimal cannot be pleaded in
extenuation of the rather sur
prising result, But there is
clearly something waong. Can
any reader explain it?
Miss Maud Hughes, a pu
pil in Cnmming public school
sends us the following solu
tion ;
,In the beginning he starts
off \Yi?lff a Throng fetatemerft :*t
is impossible to multiply dolv
lars by dollars. The multiplier
must always be an abstract'
number and $5 is not an ab
stract number. Yog can take
$5 five times and get $25 for
your product; but your mul
tiplier is five, an abstract num
ber, not $5. You cantt mul
tiply 500 cents by 500 cents,
but you can take 500 cents
five hundred times and get
2 ceftts,which is $2,500;
but vohr multiplier is 500, an
Ppc+r-et number.
In the first case your multi
plier is five end in the second
it s five hundred, v Inch is one
hundred times greater than
the first. Therefore the pro
duct is one hundred times
as great. This explains the
difference in the two products.
It is reported that W. C.
Westbrook w ; ll likely make
the race for representative in
the coming primary. It has
been quite a while since the
14th district has had a repre
sentative, and Mr. Westbrook
would likely run well.
There are two ways of get
ting into a newspaper —“pur-
chasing an interest and pur
chasing an interview.’’ There
is still another way —pulling
the wool over an editoi’s eyes
and getting in for nothing.
This is a very popular form of
entry.

The “big head’’ is a popu
lar way of expressing a com
mon and very frequent ail
ment. It arises from various
sources but the real founda
tion is a lack of sense. A lit
tle money develops it in some
people; a few good clothes
gives it to others; a little of
fice, where a chance is given
to exercise a little authority,
is often the cause of it while
others get it having a little
better jobthan their associates.
The truth is no sensible per
son gets the “big head.” The
one who becomes stuck up
and stiff-necked from sources
of any kind, are weak in-the
intellectual calibre.
The rural routes were es
tablished for the benefit of ru
ral homes, or in other words
the farmers. They have prov
en a greater benefit and bless
ing to the farmers than was
anticipated by the most san
guine. A farmer who has once
enjoyed the advantages of the
rural mffif service would hard-
ly' to without
ic. *Hi & not cowie to/ the*,
farmer, hpwever, until he had
many times earned it. For a
quarter of a century the mail
has been carried to the city,
not once, but many times each
day. Finally the big heart of
Uncle Sam has reached out to
the men who feed the world.

We need men with murage to
tell the truth at the* counter, even
it :i sale tie misled : to rebuke him
who utters a profane word in a
pnboc place ; to speak on the un
popular side of a question ; and to
vote, from deep conviction, with a
sm ill majority. We need men
with courage to refuse to sign a
petition of an unworthy applicant
for office, and courage to do any
thing which makes a majority to
exclaim, “He is very eccentric.’’
Some men will face the bayonet
sooner than a laugh, and cares less
for a blow than a word of con
tempt. It is sad to think how
many have been led into intem
perate and profligate habits by the
fear of their comr ‘des laughingat
their conscientious scruples. Oh.
for the courage to say “No,” when
sinners entice, and to say “Yes,”
when saints exhort.
