RE
Mr. M. w. Garbutt, of the Garbutt Lumber
Co., of Wright. has announced as candidate
for commissioner of the county OF Ben Hill.
There is perhaps man who has resided Tor
any length of time in this locality who Is not
acquainted, at least by reputation, with Mr..
Garbutt. The unqualified success he has
achieved in the conduct of his private business
is the best guarantee of what might be expected

Ben Hill county could be entrusted to no safer
hands,
It was a great day for fools when modesty
was made virtue. We admire the man of self
assertion, the man who does things, the man
who is not afraid. Without such men this
would be dull world and an unprogressive age.
Such men are usually hated and sneered at by
the weaklings who could not if they would and
would not if they could, do anything good or
worthy of notice. Call it egotism if you like

"shack-towu" days, and from nothing has built

today is financially interested in several leading
enterprises of the city. This has been accom-
piished through possessing keen business in
sight, excellent judgment, tire1ess energy and
an integrity that classes him "gilt-edge" Ia the
commercial world. Mr.. Tisdel would grace any
Office in Ben Hill county.
It is claimed that the stock of gold for cur.
rency, which means the coin of all the countries
of the world, is increasing at the rate of one
million dollars per day. Ten years ago the
mines of the world produced about one hund-
red and twenty million dollars per annum. Now
the annual production is than four hund-
red million. At this rate of increase there will
be plenty, plenty of money Think of it dear
reader Just oodles of the stuff, for gold will ale
ways be the basis of money, the thing that will
measure the value of every other thing IN the
world of commerce. Then is it strange that
