CHARACTER
From The COLLEGE AdYance.

Character will be eternal, and we are
its master builders. 1t is the product
of thoughts, experience and actions.
Under our control are as many work.
men as we have separate faculties. We
have not a thought but what is strik-
ing blow, not an impulse but what is
doing its work. We perform not an
action but what is builder, and have
not the moving of a passion but what is
a workman's stroke. The building will
be such as we make it. The oak con-
tains within itself the results of every
drought that has parched its leaves,
every shower that has nourished its
life, every ray Of sunshine that has fed
the fountain of its being, and Of every
storm that has beaten upon it strength
ening its roots and toughening its fiber;
so the character of coming manhood
will be what the thoughts and deeds of
the present make it. Character with
us now, and in the future, are TO each
other as the flower and the fruit. The
boy is the father of the man, and what
the boy is will enter into and decide
what the man will be. The weakness
into which he comes by defeat and the
strength he gains by victory will each
project themselves forward into the
manhood, and the tomorrow of life. 1t
is not altogether the great, the special,
the extraordinary experiences which
weave out for us stability and maturity
OF character, but largely the proper
performance of the ordinary duties OF
every day life.
AS the most sublime symphony is
made up of separate single notes, as the
abundant wealth of the harvest is made
up of separate single grains, as the
most mighty avalanche is composed OF
separate tiny snow flakes, so the firm
ness, the stability, the maturity of
character, are not born like Minerva.
full-grown, but are the product of con-
tinual accretions from daily thoughts,
words, actions and duties. They may
be performed quietly but they are the
powers that mould character and shape
destiny. These elements being woven
into character, are like the forces in
nature that are most quiet and yet most
powerful. We listen to the thunder as
1T rolls through the heavens, we look
upon the lightning as it rends the oak
and leaves the battlement in fragments.
and then we think of them as engines
OF power, but we hear not the light and
see not the force of gravity yet they
are thousand times more potent. Like
these are the silent, quiet forces build
ing the character of to-day and the
destiny of tomorrow.

RAPID GROWTH OF
SUMMERVlLLE PHONE.
How this Aggressive System Forged
to the Front-Brght Future Ahead

President j. K. Brown, of the Sum
merville Telephone Company has issued
the annual call for meeting of tho
stockholders TO be held in Summerville
early in January.
This calls to mind the almost phe-
nomenal growth Of this company which
from the humblest beginning has
broadened until to-day it is re cognizeL
as one of the business fixtures of this
part of the state, and its lines now ram
ify through several counties, and re-
Gently connections have been made With
other lines, so that service reaches even
to the state of New York.
About twelve years ago Drs. Brown
and Haven, OF Summervile. conceived
the idea of putting up a few short
wires from their Offices to the stores in
the neighboring rural districts where
their services were in demand. A COM
pany was organized, consisting of
number of farmer stockholders, who
took one or more shares at $500 per
share, some of them making their pay
ments in poles and work. 1t was soon
apparent that it would be necessary to
increase the par value of these shares
to so 90, and some of the farmers, be-
coming afraid of being swallowed up by
the big fish, sold out for song, and the
bulk of the stock gradually passed into
the hands of those who had money and
faith in the enterprise. At the incep-
tion of the project it was arranged to
give all stockholders free service and
the $500 man was delighted, but the
lines were extended and free
service became impracticable by reason
OF the vast amount of business trans
acted by the one share fellows who in
sisted on visiting by phone. It was
then that the officers decided to raise
the shares to $1,000 and to discontinue
free service to stockholders. And such
a howl as went up from the little ham,
lets of Shannondale, Heathville, Obi,
Worthwhile, Ringgold and others The
little fellows were afraid Of such "fren-
zied finance" and sold out for what thew
could get, and then drew long breaths
of relief. They had tasted the sweets
of speculation and wanted to quit,
while the 81 Told You So" fellows
swelled with pride at their wisdom and
But the company prospered from the
start and has been able to declare some
handsome dividends, at the same time
the system and increasing
the capital stock. A number of local
men are in the enterprise and they see
no reason for the kind Of worry that so
scared the rural folks in the early days
Of the company's history. Dubois

Saved From Terrible Death,

The family of Mrs. NJ. L. Bobbitt, of
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption turned despair
into joy. The first bottle brought
relief and its continued use completely
