THE NORTH GEORGIAN
The Editor of this paper has
seen a copy of the bill number
8324, introduced August 7, 1919,
in congress, by Congressman
Bell, to give ex-service men one
dollar a day extra compensation
for every day they served in the
Army or Navy. Mr. Bell’s op
ponent makes the positive state
ment that no such bill was intro
duced, but the record shows it
was.
We have always found Tom
Bell to be absolutely reliable in
word and deed, and we have long
since come to the conclusion that
we would never advocate any
man for office who misrepresents
the truth, therefore we shall
take pleasure in supporting Mr.
Bell tor re-election to congress.

Hugh M. Dorsey
—is going to lead the ticket in this fight.
—is going t° be Georgia’s next United States
Senator.
t :
There is no longer any question about it.
He is going to carry more than the 101 counties which elected him
to the governor’s chair.
Reports reaching Hugh M. Dorsey headquarters in the Kimball
House, every day of the campaign,, forecast his certain election.
| * -4 ,:m 0 ■
Already strong Dorsey clubs have been organized in more than
eighty counties, and news of Dorsey organizations, is coming daily.
In some of these counties more than half the registered voters have
signed up in the Dorsey clubs.
In all of them.the porsey Club membership indicates a strength
that will sweep the county for Hugh M, Dorsey on September 8.
Hugh Dorsey is going to win for two reasons:
Because of his splendid record of service to the people of Georgia
in the govered*’* office, and
Because he is thiMwtrue, ried and always loyal Democrat, in the
race. * r
Hd is the national Democratic pktforra
and nominees, ivhile Watson is opposing and knifing the platform,
and Hoke SmitlJ is wobbling and straddling at every turn of the
wheel.
Hugh M. Dorsey is the man of “'straight thinking” and ‘‘straight
acting”—the kind of man Governor Cox declared is needed in pub
lic office today.
Cast your vote for Hugh M. Dorsey—
Georgia’s next (Jnited States Senator.
Holder Says Howell Shall
Not “Handpick” a Governor
In an open letter to Editor
Clark Howell of the Atlanta Con
stitution, replying to the editorial
published by that paper Friday,
calling upon him to withdraw
from the race and asking, “What
say you, Mr. Holder?” Speaker
John N. Holder of the House of
Representatives savs the one con
dition upon which he will with
draw, is that Mr. Howell will at
once withdraw from the race his
candidate for the United States
Senate. Otherwise Mr. Holder
declares he is in the race for gov
ernor to the finish, and proposes
to prosecute his campaign more
vigorously than ever.
Declaring that he was first in
the race for governor, having
come in as a loyal democrat to
save the situation in Georgia,fol
lowing a conference of his
friends from all parts of the
state, Mr. Holder says he does
not propose to be eliminated now.
when the reports which he quotes
from all sections of the state
show that he is the strongest
candidate, and that there is ere
ry indication that he will win.
Mr. Holder asserts that there
is no ground or right upon which
Mr. Howell and Mr. Anderson of
the Macon Telegraph, can as
sume to ’ handpick” the candi
Movies at the court house Sat
urday night,
dates for governor and U.S. Sen
ator. Asserting that they forced
the present situation by attempt
ing to “handpick” a senator,and
are now seeking to deal similarly
with the governor’s office, Mr.
Holder concludes as follows:
“Now, Mr. Howell, I am ready,
willing and anxious to do any
thing in my power for my party,
and I stand ready to relieve the
embarrassing situation in Geor
gia; but my withdrawal would
accomplish nothing unless the
situation in the senatorial race
was also relieved at the same
time.
“Since you, my political enemy
have seen fit to advise me what
to do, now you advise your friend
and candidate to withdraw from
the race for the senate, leaving
only two in that race, and I
stand ready to meet your de
mand and withdraw instanter
from the governor’s race,
“Unless, however, this is done
and done pramptly, 1 am unable
to see why I should be sacrificed
for no purpose except to nelp
your candidate for governor,and
not the Democracy of Georgia,
and I shall be in the race to the
finish, confidently believing I
shall be elected.”

I oo many of our young people are waiting for “the gold
en opportunity.’’ They believe they will recognize it by
some pyschic wave which will pass over their being. Weak
men wait for opportunities, but. strong men make them.
1 hey seize common occasions and make them great. His
tory is lull of such instances —chances which most people
would have thought impossible to take. Think of the time
when Iloratius with two companions held ninety thousand
1 uscans at bay until the bridge across the Tiber had been
destroyed—when Leonidas at Themopylae checked the
mighty march of Xerxes—when for years Napoleon did not
lose a single battle in which he was personally engaged—
When Sheridan arrived from Winchester just in time to keep
the Union retreat from becoming a route by riding along the
lines.
It is true that these men are above the average in daring
and clear thinking but it is also true that the obstacles they
overcame were above the average. We cannot all be Na
poleons but we do not all have obstacles such as the Alps to
cross. A sculptor at one time made the figure of .a man
whose face was concealed by hair and which had wings-on
its feet. lie called the figure Oppoitunity, “The hair over
his face,’’ he explained,’’ is there because people seldom know
him when he comes to them. lie has wings on his feet be
cause he is soon gone and once gone, cannot fie overtaken.”
Why wait, young people, for opportunity—make it. Born
in a country and in an age when opportunities abound as
never before, why sit with folded hands?
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;
What you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Good motheahood calls for a great deal of sacrifice, but it
never calls for the sacrifice of a reasonable husband’s nap
piness. The most appreciative and fond fathers like to talk
of something sometimes beside “the baby.i’ They like to
ge places sometimes without the baby. ,Yet rfffiny a good
Woman faffs t<S ttnrfrtstand bet husbahd’s feelings in this mat
ter. She humiliates him by accusing him of jealousy of his
own children. She forgets that she took the vows of wife
hood before she took the duties of motherhood. To be sure
she must give her children tender care and attention. Any
worrtan who did not would be a monstrosity. Bu there are
times when her personal presence and advice would mean
heaven to her husband while to the children it is no more
than they have always had.
Is cdutentment a state of mind to strive for? It has al
ways been considered so, hut isn’t it rather a dangeroes qual
ity ? Doesn’t it tend rather toward slugglishness? A cow
is a perfect picture of content, but who wants to be a cow?
Contentment may be a desirable state of mind for age but
never for youth, In our smaller village we too many
who have become contented with themselves and their lot
early in life. Don’t do it! Never be satisfied with yourself
never give up the struggle to improve your mind and your
position ! It is the most effective weapon against old age.
As soon as you sit back "and begin to take life easy, old age
is going to overtake you by leaps and bounds.
Contentment, in the commonly accepted meaning of the
term, is not a good trait for anyone. Develop poise and calm
judgment, but strive always lor higher and better tilings.
Contentment smacks too much of self-satisfaction.
It has been said that from the same materials one builds
palaces, another hovels, one ware houses, another villas,
bricks and mortar are mortar and bricks until the architect
makes them something else. The block of granite which
was an obstacle in the path of the weak becomes a stepping
stone in the path of the resolute, The difficulties which dis
hearten one man only stiffen the sinews of another, who
looks upon them as a mental spring board by which to vault
across the gulf of failure to the sure, solid ground of success.
Within yourself lies the cause of whatever enters into your
life. To come into the full realization of your own awaken
ed interior powers, is to be able to condition your life in ex
act accord with what you would have it.
