A town is very much like an indi
vidual. To be flourishing, it must
have energy and enterprise. The
people in a town should remember
that the individual prosperity depends
to a large extent upon the charac
ter of the place in which their
busniess is located. Every public
measure should be liberally support
ed by all especially the business men
At the present day there is as much
competition between towns as there
is among persons and business en
terprises. A man seeking a location
will invariably select a town that is
up to the times, and is eagerly in
favor of every modern improvement.
To make a flourishing town you must .
believe in its future and work for I
it, encouraging every improvement. ,
Make a special effort to exhibit some •
evidence of improvement in your own !
work and character. Help every
worthy man, help every enterprise,
and encourage every good man to
locate in your town.
The new registration law goes in
to effect for the next state election
and in order to be eligible every
taxpayer who is entitled to vote un
der the state constitution should put
his name on the registration list. In
the case where a young man attains,
his majority, becomes 21 years of age
before the next general election, that
Is before next Oct., he can register
now and he qualified to vote in the
next primary as well as in the elec
tioh.
Reports are frequent of wireless
telegraphic communication over an
i porniouK range. Recently the United
States army transport Bufford, while
near Honolulu, succeeded in exchang
Ing messages with the California
coast. The distance covered was
3,500 miles. Tills does not mean that
there has been a wonderful advance
In wireless telegraphy, but merely
that atmospheric conditions were un
usually fovorablo.

Chattanooga, Tenn. This big de

street from the new depot which will
be opened to the public December 1.

headquarters when in the city, leave

on. Read their prices.
Every town has its advantages and
should make the most of them. Evef*
town is fitted for some one enterprise
more than another, and as soon as it
is ascertained what would be most
conductive to the growth and prosper
Ity of a place the citizens should tak<
hold of the matter and push it for
all its is worth. Every man who sue
needs in a town is a help to it. The
more money he makes if he spends
it the better for the community. The
larger business he builds up, the
more lie advertises, the more atten
tion is called to the town. A man
cannot build up an honorable bus
iness in a town without helping it.
A lowa cannot build up witl.out help
ing the country. The interest of one
is the interest of fall.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1909.
A Few Words About Gordon Lee.
While Hon. Gordon Lee has made
no formal announcement of his can
didacy for re-election as representa
tive from the Seventh district it is
known that he is being urged by his
friends all over the district to make
the race, and it is believed that
something definite will be heard from
him in a short time.
Mr. Lee has made a splenddi re
cord. He has accomplished more
in the way of public buildings, se
curing payment of war claims, and
matters of that kind, than any other
, representative the Seventh has ever
had. H e has fairly earned his tl
| tie of "the working congressman,” foi
i he is said to be about the busiest
, man in Washington when congress
■ is in session, always at his post in
the House during the session and in
addition, looking after a thousand
other matters for his constiuents—
matters that are outside of his reg
ular duties, and which most congress
men would consider that they would
have no time to look after.
i The same qualifications that have
made Mr. Lee a successful business
, man have made him a successful
’ congressman, for, after all, modern
.statesmanship? is largely a matter of
, business, and only the trained mind
I of the business man can handle most
. of the questions that come before
. our national assembly today.
The day of the spread-eagle ora
tor has passed, and the man who
gets results in Washington now is
th i man who can go into the com
mittee-room and state briefly and
convincingly what he xwants and
why he wants it.
Should Mr. Lee decide to enter
the race it is safe to assume that it
1 will not be because of the honor or
' the salary attached to the office,
1 but because he desires to complete
1 the work he has begun—to secure
the necessary appropriations for the
public buildings which have already
| been authorized by congress in this
district, and push through the
various measures in which he is
interested.
Mr. Lee’s record entitles him to
another term if he wants it, not
withstanding the fact that he an-
I nounced sometime ago that he
would not run. Mr. Lee's friends
■ believe that he made that announce
s ment in good faith, but that later
’ developments havd shown that he
’ could not complete the work he
hoped to do for his constituents in
the time allowed him.
If Mr. Lee makes the race this
, time he will have the support of
many voters who have heretofore
been opposed to him, in addition to
most of those who have supported
him in the past, and he will be an
extremely hard man to defeat.
