About the time millionaire Yerkc,

how he won success through adher-

did the Ten Commandments. as after
results showed.
When Marshall Field. a very differ

there was given out certain maxims
which guided him in his business life.
lie made AN ZONES fortune and helped
many others To attain success, and his
maxims We're in many respects good
but young men will make a mistake if
they should Try to follow them all.
Here were his maxims which he said
he lived UP to:
Never give a note.
Never buy Il share Of stock on q
margin.
Never borrow money.
DO not cucumber your business
with d mortgage.
Nee obligations promptly and re-
iquire customers to strictly meet their

As to the rule never TO buy hares Of
stock on a margin. that is sound adj

to strictly meet their Obligations" but
If young men were to resolve not to
borrow money never to give a note,
not cucumber their business with
q mortgage most Of them could do
nothing in life except to work IN a

every successful man you know started
life on borrowed none and has had
his property mortgaged half his life to
get ready money to enlarge his bust

no young man should ever go in debt
for personal or living expenses, and
should be careful about DIN into debt

maxims of Marshall Field, but rather

his own community. He will find that.

The litigation with reference to the
Atlanta News and the various tem-
porary %injunctions issued illustrates
Il condition OF affairs in politics and
journalism that j~eopardize good gov
eminent and honest journalism. The
editor of that paper. Hon. John Tenn
pie Graves, an able and eloquent
gentleman. had the temerity to deciic
TO be Il candidate for the United
states Senat without asking the con-
sent of Nh. Samuel Spencer, presi-
dent Of the Southern Railway Or his
leGal-pO!itical representative in
Georgia. What was the result? Con-
trary to the bylaws of the
the business of the News,
with money admittedly furnished by
S;iinHc! Spencer. bought d majority of
the stock of the News, and made
every part of the paper, except the
editorials written by Mi. Graves,
favorable to the Southern Railway in
t~ercsts. Mr.. Gra-cs secured q tenn
poraTy Injunction against the control
Of the paper by the Southern Rail-
way. Now the business
acting as the southern Railway agent,
sets an injunction f~orbidding any
mention of the candidacy of Mr..
Graves for the Senate in the Atlanta
News, of which Mr.. Graves is still
the editor. Was there ever any case
like it in The world?
a newspaper is sure to lose
temporarily when it devotes itself to
securing the election of its editor
to II higher position. but. While the
paper loses power. the public IS gen.
orally we'll served if the editor is
elected because he is apt to feel the
sense of responsibility to the public
and TO make a good official. A
partner might object to the candidacy
of the editor for public office. bat
That would be a small handicap COM
pared with the serious impairment Of
Il influence of a paper when it is
prO5titutcd to advancing the interests
of a railroad corporation tina seeks
by pull TO control legislation, ts-
cape Just taxation and prevent Just
reduction III rates. The candidacy
of Mr.. Graves may hurt the News

but it Woul at the most be q slight
injury. On the other hand the plr-
chase Of the paper TO be ~onvert |
into an organ of the Southern Rail-
way would win for it public cen-
tempt, for the people wish no news
paper that sells its virtue to the high
est bidder.
This unique litigation serves also
to show the methods the ~transporta-
ton employ to make public sem
tlmcnt. Newspapers mould public
sentiment more than any other ager,-
cy.. UnconsciOusly the reader is IN
tlucnccd by the printed page. even
though he may know the paper is
oWned by a railroad or trust. In
every State. therefore. the railroads
have an organ or organs. Some
times no denial of ownership is
made. but most often the stock is
held in the hands of some man who
is q plant tool of the railroad
the railroad does not own the pa

truth i'll the policy Of the paper
and not in admissions or iii pro-
testations. Mr.. Graves has done the
r"rtant service in exposing the meth
cd of converting the Atlanta News i'll

The Fireman's Story.

Going the rounds of the loungi1g
rooms Of the fire engine houses is This
amusing story, says the Philadelphia
Record:
Billy was pulling on his pipe; and,
noticing that Jake" wasn't telling his
own story, ne began.
Jake didn't know it vas q monkey
until it was too late to retreat. 1t was
in an apartment house, and there were
a lot of actresses in the building, and
they all kept pets. Jake didn't know it
beforehand. He was new to the ser
vice, and when he saw a pretty wom-
an in a pink and white dressing gown
appealing to him to save her dear
jerry he felt that he'd risk a dozen
lives to serve her. She told him that
the dear little thing was on the sew
enth floor in the rear. He climbed
the stairs through fire and smoke at
the risk of his life and CROPPED his way
into the burning apartment. Every
thing was quiet at first in the rear
of No. Z, but after listening a moment
there was a sound like a child crying.
Jake just followed up the sound. and
in a moment later grabbed the warm
body of dear Jerry He kind of
thought it had a good deal of hal.
on for a kid, but he was too blind with
smoke and fame to stop long to think
of it. He made a break for the win1ow
and tried to pull himself up on the
roof. 1t was his only chance to es-
cape. Imagine his surprise when he
flung himself off the windowsill and
hung by his hook to ind his little
child a better climber than himself.
Jerry just hoped firm his arms and
climbed to the roof over his back. and
arms.
Jake nearly tumbled to the ground,
in surprise. When he saw that he had
rescued a monkey he felt mad; but
when the monk leaned over the edge
and tried to pull him up by the hair
he was frantic. The mor he yelled the
harder Jerry pulled. You see Jake's
hair was long and the monk could
get a good hold. He pulled out thee
handfuls before Jake sprawled up on
the roof. Then there was a change
of tactics. Jake chased the monkey
the roofs till he nearly los MS
job. The foreman found him nl:f u
block away throwing bricks al a tele-
graph pole to which clung a big nom
key. 1t took a month for Jake TO
make the foreman believe his story.

Town Pipes Furnished Hot Water

Residents of Dravosburg yesterday
were supplied with hot water from The
village pumping station. There was 10
extra cost for it. When they wanted
a drink they had to stand a g.a:sIu,
outside. All they had to do was to
put a little coffee in a u and turn
on the spigot. All of this demonstrate
ed that human nature is not always
satisfied, because when things are HOT
the people want cold, and vice versa.
The solution of the matter was this:
A water main extending along Gold
stromav passes beneath an old Stag
pile. Some time ago the Stag became
ignited and has since been smoldering.
The heat extends to the water main;
therefore the hot water. A phenomenon
is that the heat has brought out the

vice goes on they nightly perform So

The crew were discussing the latest
attempts to ST i'm the CHANNEL. A
Yankee, who delighted in taking down
the others, said: We'll, boys, talk
about swimming, I guess l saw the
greatest feat in that line. I was cross
ing the pond to the states; the ship
had just cleared Queenstown, when a
cry of Man overboard!' was raised.
I'VE saw the poor fellow about
half a mile ahead of us. but could
not come up to him. Put on full
steam,' said the captain. 1t was done;
but We overlook him. Every
body thought he must have gone I'M

THE LINKHAW A S

The discussion of the LinkhaW case
has been renewed in the press of the
state after many years of silence on
the question involved in the decision
of the supreme court. Some of the
papers discuss the matter as If it was
an entirely new declaration by thai
court This was a case which went
to the supreme court from Robson
county in 1873. The defendant was
indicted for creating a disturbance in
church during religious services by his
manner of singing. He had a horrible
voice and could not carry Il tune. but
insisted on singing every time a hmm
was given out. His singing caused
great annoyance to the seriously mind
ed members Of the congregation and
amusement To the more worldly per-
sons present; but he insisted that as q
member of the church it was his priv
ilege and his duty TO sing praises to
his Maker. and no remonstrance on
the part Of the officers of the church
could induce him to desist. Finally
he was indicted and convicted. On
appeal the supreme court decided that
he was guilty of no offense in his eff
forts to sing in his church. no matter
If his singing did create annoyance
and diversion: that he was exercising
his privilege, granted by the constitu-
ton, of unrestricted worship of God,
and hat if he was sincere and in
earnest in his efforts to sing, about
which no question was raised for all
concerned knew that he was, there was
no law to prevent his doing SO.
Judge Russell tried the case in the
court below. He held that the de-
PENDANTS intent had nothing to Go
with the matter. The only question
was whether Or not he did disturb the
congregation. This, the supreme court
overruled and allowed the intent to
govern the case.
