THE MAN WHO PAYS HIS BILLS

The Early County News appre-
ciates the man who pays his bills
even the small Ones-promptly
This is a matter that too many peo-
pie are careless about, and thus in
lure themselves and do the creditor
wrong. The News has lost many a
hard-earned and just dollar because
we became tired of presenting the
account. Our contemporary says;
We want to say a good word
for the man who meets his small
obligations promptly. They are
not as plentiful as they should
be, and the man needs encOur-
aging. Most men will pay, but
fewer will pay promptly. AL
most any firm will testify that,
counting the time, postage,
booking and the like, it costs all
some accounts are worth to col
lect them, and still the man ow-
ing them is perfectly response
BILE in a financial way. 1t very
often happens that the worst
sinner in this particular is the
man best able to pay.

All girls grow up with vague
idea regarding the romance of mar
riage.
BY the time she is Is the average
girl has planned her wedding gown,
her bridesmaids gown, and all the
details of her wedding But the
bridegroom, the next in Importance
to herself in the ceremonies, she
speculates little about. He is dim,
unknown Prince Charming in the
background; that is all.
Until she falls in love the glories
and pomp of a big wedding are the
chief items concerning marriage in
her eyes.
After she falls in love she would
lust as soon be married in a cotton
frock as satin creation from Pa
uuin or Worth.
She is apt to fly to the extremity
of romanticism in her fervor, and
would, if she is very young, like to
elope.
Now, girls, clipping is the poorest
of all ways to get married, for it
often means marrying in haste and
repenting at leisure.
There is only one satisfactory way
to get married, and that is with your
parents consent and approval.
Nine times out of ten when girls
parents oppose her marriage they
have some excellent reason for their
opposition From their experience
in life and it's handicaps they know
that the young man is not ready to
shoulder the responsibilities of mar
ried life; or perhaps they realize that
he is not the man to make their will
full little daughter happy.
Girls in their teens are not very
accurate judges of mems characters.
They are too prone to be carried
away by prepossessing eXternals, and

FIGHT, BUT KEEP COOL

The fight for and against the dis
Densary has opened in a lively fash
ion. Both sides have engaged ad-
yertising space in The News and, be-
ginning with this issue, will occupy
il until the election The pub
lie will be fully informed as to
the contentious of the opposing
forces. and the voter will be in a
position to decide for himself the
merits of the issue.
The News has its own ideas OF
what is best-ideas that are we'll
known and based on observation and
experience in saloon, prohibition and
5ispensary counties-and will cast a
ballot in accord Herewith. But we
will not set excited over the mat
ter. and it will be best for every
hodv 10 keep cool and in a pleasant
humor. according TO others that same
degree of sincerity of purpose and
honesty of conviction you claim for
Yourself. Many of the best men of
the county are on each side of the
ouestion. and all will feel better and
it will be better, no matter which
way the election results, if the cam
paign is fought to the finish fairly
and in good temper.

NO FUNERAL ABOUT 1T.

In speaking of the contest now on
in Terrell county the Cuthbert Lead
er says:
The campaign will doubtless
be spirited, even strenuous. 1t

will be no funeral about it. We be
brethren here, and when the issue is
settled at the ballot box that will be
the last of it. Whatever the result
may be all differences will be ended,
no bad feeling or resentment will be
harbored, and everybody will put
their hands to the wheel and labor
together in keeping Terrell county
and Dawson right in front OF the
prosperous and thriving counties and
towns of Georgia. All will touch
elbows in the march of progress. we
are live folks, neighbor, and have
no time for funerals.

An ARMY OLE TWO.

Judging from the noise that was
being made a few days ago it seemed
to the Savannah News that host
of several hundred irate congressman
we're about to swoop down upon
John Sharpe Williams and do all
sorts of terrible things to him, chief
of which was to pitch him headlong
out of the minority leadership. But
it turns out to be another case OF
The Three Tailors of Tooley street.
When it came time to count the noses
of the irate opposition only two OF
them-our own Charlie Bartlett and
our own Tommie Hardwick-could
be found and the anti-Williams wal
went up in their smoke.

JUDGEMENTS ARE NEVER ROMANTIC
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

not to think enough of the real man.
No girl should become formally
engaged to a man until her parents
have met him and passed judgment
upon him.
Of course a girl cannot be expected
to give up man simply because her
parents object to some unimportant
personal characteristic of his.
But she should defer to their
Judgment as to his being a fit man
for her to marry They have her
welfare at heart, and excepting in
rare cases are only acting with that
in view
Don't try to keep your love affairs
from your mothers, girls. If the
man who is paying attention to you
is not willing to come to your home,
meet your parents and court you in
an honest, manly way he is not the
right sort of man for you to know.
He is not the man who will make a
good husband.
If he urges you to elope don't
listen to him. He would not ask you
to do so unless he had some reason
for being afraid to marry you openly.
There is nothing romantic about
an elopement 1t merely means that
you start in married life without any
home to go to, without the blessing
of your parents, without the good
wishes of your friends.
You miss all the joy of helping
prepare your little home and the
pleasure of having a lot of pretty
clothes to wear
Be as romantic as you like about
love, girls, but get married in the
prescribed, commonplace way.
And first, last and most important
of all don't deceive your mother.
You need her advice, confidence and
help at all times, but never more so
than in choosing a husband.

Replies to John D. Rockefeller

ARE NOT OVER-CAPITALlZED
He Tells of What a Wonderful Coun-
try This Is-clties Growing Like
Mage-ToId In Support
of His Argument.
ARE NOT OVER-CAPITALIZED

New York, March 21.-E. II. Harri-
man, in an interview published today
in the American, replies to the state
ments recently credited to John D. Rock
efeller, in which the latter declared
against over-capitalization of railroads
and other. corporations, and in favor of
government control of railroads. Mr.. Har-
riman was asked what he thought of
Rockefelers statement that there should
be federal control of railroads and re-
piled:
There is federal control now. That
arm of the government to which Is dele
gated the power or supervision Of rail-
roads is equipped with enormous respon-
sibilty. There are laws enough in the
statute book now, more than enough.
All that is necessary is to have them
judlciously and wisely administered.
There is no supplemental supervision
When Mr.. Hartman was asked If he
thought the railroads We're over-capital-
lied, he replied:
No; you must remember this is won
derful country. 1t has been made by the
enthusiasms, the imagination and the
speculative bent of a superbly capable
people They have been people that
are magnificent pioneers. They saw into
the future and adapted their works to
the possibilities.
'There is much to be developed in this
country. Towns are growing like magic,
and Its people are doing work like Alad-
din's lamp generally. The roads are not
over-c pitalized for the country and It's
capabilities. Take any road, say the
Pennsylvania-you have been over It. Did
yo ever notice the miles and miles of
abandon ed tracks? You have seen them
criss-crossing everywhere you go. Instead
of that you will now see the straight
lines, the wonderful ballasting. In count
ing your capitalization, think of the
money that has gone into the abandoned
lines, bridges and terminals. This must
4 be considered a part of the constructive
cost and when you take that in, you
will find that you have not over-cap-
| italized.
| Now take the dividend matter. There
| are not a great many roads in the coun-
! try paying 6 per cent dividends. Look
| at The matter in this light: A man who
! tai IS preferred security must be con-
| tent with smaller interest returns. Sup
/ pose your bonds return 3 or 49, per cent.
| your preferred stock or 5. Now take
your average dividend and you will find
that you have not over-capitalized
