i
Perspiration often develops inspire-'
tion.
Government lending is a success to the
citizen who gets a loan.
There are very few things in the world
worth quarrelling about.
When individuals become discontented
and discouraged, they are apt to accept
radical ideas.
No institution of the human race is
sacred or divine; what men have made
they can remake.
An organized minority, even in a de
mocracy, is more powerful than an un
organized majority.
An economic system is in a state of
collapse when millions of citizens cannot
find employment.
The average Summerville family could
buy what it needs if it did not spend its
income for what it wants.
A wise man never tries to convince a
foolish man ; he lets the foolish man think
that he has been convinced.
We see no reason why the Government
that lends 90 per cent, of the cost of new
ships should not lend 90 per cent, of the
cost of new homes.
We think that Summerville is the best
place in the world in which to live, but
don't get the idea that Summerville can
not make improvements.
THE GENERAL WELFARE
The American ideal of government in
cludes the freedom of the individual to
live his or her life under the protection
of the law so long as the individual does
not harm other individuals.
Any interference, on the part of gov
ernment, in the affairs of citizens must
be justified on the ground that it. re
strains some of us from injuring others.
This rule also applies to business activi
ties of citizens.
The liberty accorded American citi
zens is not license. It must be enjoyed
without injury to the general welfare,
which is as important in the American
scheme as individual liberties. Ths fact
should not be overlooked.
HENRY FORD’S DREAM
In 1893, a young man visited the Chi
cago Exposition where he saw a fire
wagon, with an engine-driven pump.
Three years later, this young man
w>as driving his first horseless carriage
and ready to fulfill his pledge to “make
a buggy that will go without a horse
and make it so cheap that those w’ho
cannot afford a horse and buggy can have
this.”
Ten years after the Chicago Exposi
tion, this man organized the Ford Motor
Company, w-ith a paid-in capital of $28,-
900. This month, visiting the New York
World’s Fair, Mr. Ford was greeted by
the 27.000.000th car to bear his name.
There are those who do not agree with
many of the policies of Mr. Ford but few
Americans can read this thumb-nail
sketch of modern industry without ad
miration for the. man behind it. Un
doubtedly, to Henry Ford the American
people owe the development of cheap
transportation. His leadership, we be
lieve. is responsible for the low cost at
which modern automobiles now sell. With
out his leadership, the possession of an
automobile would probably have been a
mark of fortune and a motor vehicle
might have remained in the exclusive
possession of men of means.
The automobile industry, as a whole,
has created a new epoch in American
history, transforming social and business
almost everywhere. Quite properly the
present has been called the “automobile
age.” The living habits of a people have
been changed by the “horseless buggy.”
In this accomplishment, Mr. Ford has
been a leader, deserving the admiration
of Americans and all those who admire
a man who does something worth while.

Letter To the Editor
LOOSE AND UNWARRANTED
LIBERTY.
Where there is no rule or order in the
i family life, where fathers and mothers
allow their children to grow up without
any restraint and drift over the neigh
borhood, hanging out whereever they so
desire —these children become a menace
!to society. They go to school if they
; wish or stay away if it so pleases.
Such indulgence becomes trouble to
neighbors, but while they are young, not
much is thought of the after-effects.
Later, you will find them arrayed be
fore the court charged with small of
fenses ; later on becoming hardened crim
i inals, guilty of major crimes. You seldom
I find crime attached to those who come
into homes where parents see they obey
I some rule and orders are given a thresh
ing out.
I know families whose children are
found most anywhere and at most any
time of day in some neighbor’s yard or
1 house. They walk in, unbolt the door and
never wait for an invitation.
I Now who is responsible for all this
I unwarranted liberty?
It's not the child, but the heads of the
■ home where they come from.
Most people wish to be kind and con-
I siderate while dealing with the young
i and especially when it comes to other
| folks’ children. Here is where we need
i some strong preaching to parents first
of all.
Insist they be troubled with their own
offspring first, before they are turned out
i on their neighbors.
There are many homes without any
rule or Order; they prefer to get the chil-
■ dren out so as not to be troubled them
selves, and think that it's their neighbor's
job to help raise them and share respon
sibility and development and share here
after in good behavior and good morals.
Respectfully,
C. A. DODD.

They Can’t Be Bought
Because They’re FREE
Waiting to Go to Work in Georgia Homes
Yes that’s literally true. There
are 25,000,000 FREE Kilowatt
Hours waiting to be used in the
thousands of homes we serve
throughout Georgia. They are given
to you under the provisions of your
New Lower Electric Rates now in
effect.
This rate the lowest in our his
tory — offers you a certain amount
of electricity which you can use in
addition to your established use,
without increasing your bill. All
told, there are 25,000,000 of these
Free Kilowatt Hours ready and
waiting for somebody to put them
to work.
You can’t buy these Kilowatt
Hours, because your new rates give
them to you free. What it amounts
to is that you can now |et more
electricity for the same money. Some
extra electricity is “thrown in” free.
You don’t increase your bill by even
a single penny when you make use
of the share of “extra electricity”
that has been allotted to you.
And after that after you have
used your Free Electricity, any ad
ditional electricity you may want
comes to you at the lowest rate in
our history.
