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 thegp 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 w r ill continue to grow
until some day it may be the mean of marking an important turning point
in your eareer.
It may start you on the road to great business success.

church at Cotton, which are serv¬
ed by Rev. J. A. Mills.
The financial report at this con
ference, however, only includes
the Pelham church. It showed
that there had been collected for
salary, $147.54, for Missions,
$63.00 and for Sunday School
literature, etc. about $13.00.
There are twenty-two subscribers
to the Wesleyan Christian Advo¬

The report showed that the Pel¬
ham church is behind with its
collections but the official board
stated that they expected to be
able to make up this deficiency
by the next quarter.

It is reported that Judge Fite
>f the Cherokee Circuit has
•barged the grand jury of
L.rtow County that under the
-late law it is a misdemeanor for
iuv person to give a boy a match
with which to light a cigarette.
Judge Fite said to the grand
jury: “A boy with cigarette
papers and tobacco, or with a
cigarette, could .make no use of
them until he had procured some¬
thing with which to light the
cigarette. I charge you that a
mail who gives a minor a match
with which to light a cigarette is
as guilty as the man who furnish
eded him with the paper and to¬
bacco, or the cigarette.”

Prohibition in Pelham,
While the city of Pelham is
more nearly free from violations
of the state prohibition law than
many of the towns of the state,
there is no doubt that some in¬
toxicants are sold here. There
has been evidence of it which is
unmistakable to those who have
been observant. There is some
talk of an organization to take
the matter up and force prosecu¬
tions. It is claimed that if the
officers cannot catch the blind
tigers, there are those who can,
and that when the citizens are
once in behind the move, there
will be something doing, and
prosecutions will result.

22 Pound Striped Bass
Albany, Ga., July 12 —Wbat 13
probably the -largest fish ever
landed in this part of the state
with a light rod and small line
was 22 J- pound striped bass, or
rock fish, which Editor H. M.
McIntosh,‘of The Herald, took
feom-the. rapids of Mucksifoonee
creek, just below the power dam,
a mile aud half north of Al¬
bany, yestesday afternoon.
These are the gamest fish found
in these waters, and to land oue
weighing more than ten pounds
with light tukle is an achievement
of which sportsmen are to be
pardoned for boasting. Editor
McIntosh’s catolq therefore, U
something so out of the ordinary
that it has made something of a
sensytion in local sporting cir¬
cles. A number of rock fish have
been caught in this vicinity this
snmmee.
