SUCCESS AND FAILURE
The margin between success and failure in life is sometimes very
small.
Success is often wrested by the help of a few convenient dollars upon
which one can lay his hands at just the right time to grasp an opportunity.
A snug bank account is one of the best friends that a person can
have at all times and particularly when there is a chance to make some
profitable investment or business venture.
Start a savings account today and add to it regularly every week or
every month. You will soon have a tidy sum that will continue to grow
until some day it may be the mean of marking an important turning point
in your career.
It may start you on the road to great business success.

"Wornl of Cuthbert accidently kil¬
led herself in that city Tuesday.
Miss WorrilJ was an expert rifle
shot, and went into the room to
get her rifle to shoot a bird. The

keep it from rusting. In pulling

entering her heart.

to learn of the tragic death of his

Pelham Corporations Pay
$27,200,00 Dividends.
There has just been paid out
by three Pelham corporations
$27,200 00 in dividends. On July
1st the Farmers Bank and the
Pelham Manufacturing Company
mailed checks to their stockhol¬
ders for a 5 per cent, semi-annual
dividend and the Pelham Oil
Fertilizer Company mailed checks
to its stockholders for an 8 per¬
cent. annual dividend. The divi¬
dends paid were as follows: Far
me i s Bank 5 per cent, on
$100,000 00, $5,000; Pelham
Manufacturing Company, b k per
cent, on $300,000 00, $15,000.00;
Pelham Oil & Fertilizer Com¬
pany, 8 per cent, on $90,000.00,
$7,200 00; making a total paid
by these three corporations
$27,700.00 to their stock holders.
These are three as strong and
prosperous corporations as can be
found in South Georgia. That
they passed through :ho panic
without embarrassment, fully
meeting all their obligations
promptly, and maintaining their
reputation for paying large divi
dends, shows their splendid
management and is a most attrac¬
tive invitation to the world to
invest in Pelham industries.
Fats Vs. Leans.
A streak of lean and a streak of
fat was the prime characte -
istic of the base ball game
Tuesday afternoon.
The merit of leanness, in sports
at least, was proven by the seme
of 26 to 16.
The corpulent ones did well but
they could not hold out and the
necessity of resting was too fre¬
quent to admit of success.
To tell of the brilliant plays
when the ball was stopped by a
quick placing of the foot, to prop
eriy describe the attitude and an
tics G f those who squatted in glad
anticipation of catching the ap¬
proaching grounder and suddenly
when it went between their leg
turned and commenced a mad
chase after it, kicking it still fur¬
ther when the ball was finally
overtaken, and to give a report of
the contentions with the umpire
over rules ke was not familiar
with, including the loud inquiry
heard from one end of the
grounds to the other as to wheth¬
er the man at the bat was out be
cause the ball hit him in the
“stummick” is too much for us
You should have been there.
Several errors were made.
Some of those presidential as¬
pirants who have been sawing
wood for a year or more may find
consolation iu the thought that
the exercise was good for them.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Her=
ring Have a Narrow
Escape.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. flerring and
their little child had a very
row escape in a runaway
Tuesday morning They had a
horse and buggy sent around from
the stables and were preparing to
go to the Big Fish Pond for a
day’s outing. They had scarcely
gotten in the buggy before the
horse tried to run away. Mr.
Herring succeeded in holding the
animal somewhat m check until
he reached the Library corner,
when a swift turn overturned the
buggy, throwing out all thiee °*
its occupants, and tearing the
buggy all to pieces. Mrs. Her
ring and child were badly bruised,
and Mr. Herring received several
minor bruises. No bones were
broken, and they were extricated
the wreck without serious
injury,
Later in the day a negro driver
from the stables was driving the
same animal when it ran away
and demolished another buggy,
throwing the driver out and pain¬
fully injuring his shou d> r.
