Earl Brewer, candidate for govern
or, will address the citizens Of Ran.
kin county at the court house Satur-
day afternoon at 1870 O'Clock. Mr..
Brewer addressed the people Of Simp-
son county at Mendenhall last Satur-
day, the crowd being estimated at
1900. A reporter of the New Or.
leans Picayune, in writing up the
meeting, says: Next came Hon. Earl
Brewer, who was greeted with enthu.
siasm as he announced his opposition
to the vices of bucket shops, blind IT,
gers, etc. AS he warmed up to the
subject of corporations, especially
railroads that were growing corpulent,
he was applauded with enthusiasm,
and cries of Brewer for governor
were heard through the large crowd
In the midst Of his speech, when he
made the statement that the railroads
were creeping into the legislature and
controlling legislation, and even had
great power In saying who should
be governor and president, and this
accounts for the silence of his oppo.
nents on this subject, the applause
knew no bounds. Here time was
called on him, but the crowd called
for him to continue with his speech.
The day was strictly Brewer day,
and the crowd was with him.

My motto 10 first to be honest with
my creditor
second to be efficient and proficient in
my profession; and to do this, will
acknowledge, Is to attend moral and
educational associations So il do
not attend on that accession pardon me
and wish for change in my mis-
fortunes Yours truly

CONS idered it worth while to give hi,
attention to business or any other
serious line of thought. The father
before he died made q will and left
the bulk Of his fortune in the hands
Of an executor for his son but upon
one condition: That the boy would
lock himself up in his room alone for
half an hour each morning for a Ger.
tain number Of weeks and during the
times give himself to thinking. The
young man being unused to restraint
rebelled at the Requirements. Said he:
why should my father make sach q
strange and useless provision for me ?''
But he began to subject himself to the
ordeal; it was hard and meaningless
at first; but after while he began to
think-he reviewed his past life and
saw how aimless and worthless it had
been. He tried to look into the
future and some of its possibilities
and finally came to appreciate the re-
sponsibilities of the present. Then
the reason of his wise fathers require
ment became clear, he had formed the
habit Of thinking, and like the prod.
igal son, he came to himself. The
incident became q turning point in
his life.
The meaning Of this story is evi.
dent; perhaps 1t will gain nothing by
further discussion But would II
we're possible to write the truth con-
tanned therein so indelibly on the
minds Of boys and girls that they
could not forget. Here it is: Think
on thy ways. young man, young wo-
man. The curse of the age is the
mad rush for hasty achievement Men
want the victory without the contest,
the heights without the climbing.
They want to travel by lightning ex-
press or electric current. The Ameri.
can people do not take time to think.
And yet the power to think is the
highest mark Of distinction between
civilized man and the beasts Of the
forest. Thoughtlessness is responsible
for more crimes than premeditated
criminal desires. The Psalmist said:
Il thought on my ways and turned
my feet unto thy (God's) testimo.
mics. So will others follow Gods
laws, when they mediate on their
ways
We believe one who has the think
ing habit will not go far wrong and
will ultimately come to the right way.
Every individual who will think
soberly 30 minutes every day will find
himself coming to higher apprecia-
tion Of the meaning of life and an
easier approach TO the faithful dis
charge Of it's duties. The record is
that Isaac went out to mediate in the
field at the eventide, and he stood
stronger before temptation than his
father Abraham New Albany Ga
zette.
