HOW TO HOLD A POSITION.
Courtesy, Promptness, Loyalty and
Hard Work Are Keys to Success In
Business.
By H. ]. HAPGOOD,

by n. j. HAPGOOD,
President Of Hapgoods.
How to hold position? Do just as
little work as you possibly can; take
no interest in the business; curse the
injustice of your employers when you
see younger men advanced over your
head. By following these rules you
may hold position ten years, but the
salary paid you and the responsibility
placed upon you will be little if any
greater than when you started.
But by holding position we mean
something broader and better than
this. We mean constantly increasing
your employers satisfaction, steadily
developing higher ability and surely
advancing to larger and greater re-
sponsibility.
My subject is then really success
in business" and this, like success of
any kind, Is ''untaught and unteach-
able" There are, however, certain
valuable hints to be gained by study
ing the careers of men who have sue
ceeded. Although the paths by which
these men have won success are wide
ly different, there are certain features
which stand out prominently in all of
them. These I believe to be the es-
sentials for business success-prompt
ness, courtesy, loyalty, hard work.
Promptness is the key note in this
age of hustle. Opportunity waits for
nobody, and the man who is always a
little behind time is playing losing
game. always there with the goods
is one of the highest tributes that can
be paid modern business man.
Having the goods is the first con-
sideration, but this will avail little If
you are not always there with them
when wanted.
In this connection a good story Is
told Of Philip D. Armour and young
man who had just begun work for
him. When on the first morning the
young man reached the Office at 8
O'Clock, he found his employer al
ready there at work. The next morn
ing at $40 and the following morning
at o'clock it was the same. At last,
determined for once to be there first,
the new clerk was there at Z o'clock.
When he walked into the Office Mr..
Armour looked up from his desk and
grimly inquired: young man, where
do you spend your fOrenoonsY
Business hours are not usually as
long as Mr.. Armour made them. but
whatever they are they are rigidly OBJ
served. Five or ten minutes in the
morning, trivial as it may be itself, is
pretty sure indication of the degree
of prOmptness you will show in more
important matters.
II know Of no investment more GER
tain to pay large dividends than
courtesy" said successful business
man the other day. and he spoke the
truth. In the nerve-racking, endless
rush of affairs, there is nothing which
leaves stronger impression than a
pleasant word or kind act, especially
IL it be something most men over
look. Business courtesy is largely
matter of habit and is one of the
habits we can afford to cultivate.
In the army and navy loyalty is an
essential for success and it is no less
so In the business world. Enthusiasm
and loyalty 60 hand in hand; man
cannot be really interested in his work
unless he has an employer to whom
he is loyal. There are many brighter

TO DOUBLE AMERICAS
COTTON CROP.
Startling Results of Patient Experiments by
Government Agriculturists.



With the cotton crop of the United
States reaching an annual value Of
nearly $6O0,O00,000 1t is easy to see
that the man who can make it worth
four or five cents a pound more to the
grower will put few dollars Of
spending money into the pockets Of
the southern planters.
This improvement Of the crop has
been realized, and there is no reason
why in ten years from now the whole
Of the cotton belt should not be grow
ing longer staple cotton worth on the
average of Az cents pound more
than the present crop. OF course this
millenial condition Of things will not
be altogether realized. That there
will be a decided and general advance

work already done by the Agricul-

1t is hard to find a place to begin to
enumerate their advantages. In the
item of travelling to the creamery
there is great saving. Where the
dairy owner has one of these ma
chimes, he need not go to the cream
cry more than three times a week in
the warm weather and twice in a
week during the colder months.
When cream only instead of the
whole milk Is delivered to the cream
cry, the item Of hauling is reduced to
it's lowest limits. Say ten cans of milk

ton is planted over the whole of it so
that there is no large addition Of range
to the plant likely. 1t is true that the
acreage within the belt could possibly
be doubled, but that Is not the thing
the department is after. Good cotton
land now yields 400 to 800 pounds to
the acre. What the department
would like is to see this yield doubled
in value and in quantity. The founda-
ton for this increase isnow firmly laid,

and IL the planters will cooperate with
the department to even u reasonable
degree the value Of the whole cotton
crop In the United States can be vastly
enhanced without planting o single
additional acre, and there will still be
enough land available In the cotton
belt to assure the United States Of Its
supremacy In the cotton world for
many years 70 come.

Hoke Smith in Quitman.

1t has often been asserted and will show OF
reason that the masses of the people In South
Georgia are not interested in politics. They DO
not display much partisanship and do not get
wrought up over campaign as the people in the
middle and northern sections Of the states 40.
Therefore the attitude of the audience which
heard Mr.. Hoke Smiths address here last
Saturday was interesting for it was distinctly
enthusiastic Many people were heard to remark
that they had never seen anything like 1t on
similar occasion.-Quitm an Free Press.
Is there a machine that controls Georgia
politics? Yes, there is machine. Clark How
ell is their candidate in all those counties that
they think he stands chance to carry; Dick
Russellis their candidate in any county that he
can carry; Col Estill is their candidate in any
county that they think he carry, and old Doctor
Nunnay would be their candidate II there was
any county that they thought he could carry.
The Atlanta Consttution-Mr. Howell's
paper-fully appreciates the situation, and is
continually praising all these candidates and at
the same time pours odt the Walls of wrath on
Hoke-Cordele Rambler.
Stray mules: The Enterprise has adver'
tised as many as half dozen mules, estrayeo,
within the last few weeks. There is something
wrong about this matter. People who take up
a stray mule ought to give some notice OF the
fact. There is temptation while the farm
work is pressing to take the mule ana
use it for it's feed until the owner calls. but 1t IS
all wrong, It's crime. or ought to be made
crime, for the presumption is that the owner Is
lust as much in need of his stock as the fortu-
nate finder may be. This is to discourage the
habit of taking up stray stock of any kidd and
holding it even day without giving public mo-
tise of the fast

surplus in the treasury. This
is not a benevolent association
but wherever an open door pre-

mittee, although it is possible that it will break
out on the surface in many places. Ger
tainly the committee could not have done more
to insure Hoke Smiths election, although 1t Is
clearly apparent that it was intended to con-
tribute to his defeat.

devine Of the Church of England, the
Vicar of St Chrysostom s Bradford recently de-
cided to take an active part in politics by de-
nouncipg the Education Bill from the pulpit.
He resolved, moreover, to make his intentions
known. and to this end he cast about Tor some
striking means of advertisement-some violent
phrase or strange turn bound to attract atten-
ton. Merely to announce "a series of sermons
on the Education Bil'' seemed to him too mid
and insipid. He thought of inserting mark OF
Interrogation after education" but the device
was little hackneyed and not sufficiently start
ling in effect What he wanted was some gooo'
lusty, swinging word that would make the
reader open his epes.
He thought of damn. He thought of it loving
". Damn was a desirable word-it has just the
right force-it was sure to strike the eye. But
was It permissible? he asked himself;was 1t NOT
a little profane? He reasoned with himself IL
seemed to his secular understanding and the
less profane it sounded to his sacred UNDER
standing. Accordingly he inserted caro- IN

TO ERECT HARDWOOD MILL.

" 6h6C1 hAhD w OOD MILL
A deal of considerable importance
has been closed by the Crescent Lum.
Der Co. of Marietta, Ohio, in the pur-
chase of an SOO0-acre tract of timber
land in Clay county, West Virginia.
The property was secured from the
Elk River Coal & Lumber Co. of Clay,
W Va, and is located on Buffalo
creek. The purchasing company, it is
understood, will make arrangements
at once for developing the timber,
which is said to embrace virgin forests
of oak, poplar, ash, hemIock and hick-
ory. A modern band mill will be cree.
ted and standard gauge railroad con.
structed into the timber, to be eouip
ped with logging locomotive, steam
leaders, skidders. etc. 1t is stated also
that the Buffalo Creek & Gauley Rail-
way will be extended to the propertv
at once. The Crescent Lumber Co
expects to have it's new plant ready for
operation by June, 1907. This com
pany is at present operating a band
mill at Hosterman, W. Va, and two
circular mills on Coal river, West Vir.
glnla. Its officers are Messrs. w. T.
Schnaufer, president and general
manager, and h. 6. Chamberlain.
secretary and treasurer.
