BE GOOD NATURED.

That nice girl that collects the tele-
phone bills was in after the monthly
payment. oh, dear" said she, Il just
hate to go after the next one. He's
such a crouch. Never says good morn
ing and always kicks on the poor SER
vice. Always threatens to put in the
other phone, just as tho it made any
difference to me. And l never go out Of
his office without being mad all over"
And there's a whole sermon in the
above, only this young lady didn't
make the application. It's this: Be
good natured whether you are or not.
Whether you feel good natured or not,
be so--outwardly. Surprising you have
got the grippe, the world does 10
want to hear of your aches and pains.
Surprising your business is bad and
you are losing money. the world will
help you lose still more if you're a
Crouch" And if you don't believe it.
try it and become convinced.
Strange to relate, if you pretend to
be good natured and keep up the pre-
tense half of a day, the other half of
the day you will be good natured.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you," is no idle epigram. And all this
good advice is for your business office.
Try the same experiment at home and
another surprise awaits you. Only at
home You'll have to keep it up longer
to fool your wife and children.

A VOLUNTEERED RESOLUTION.

AS an evidence of the interest being
taken in the question Of insurance for
bank deposits, attention should be
called to d resolution which was pre-
scented by a delegate from LeGrand to
the resolutions committee of yester-
days convention of republicans in Mar
shall county. This republican wanted
mis- convention to resolve in favor of a
federal law requiring banks to deposit
with the government one per cent OF
their deposits, and receive in return a
three per cent bond which should be
held in a fund from which to insure
bank deposits.
The scheme was original and pos
sibly not sufficiently defined as an
issue to properly come before a polit-
zeal convention, but its introduction
gave evidence nat the subject was
alive among the people. Insurance OF
bank deposits must come. 1t is in the
line of repairing a weakness in the
present banking law. 1t is wholly in
harmony with h purpose n the
ether safeguards of present banking
laws. 1t will be opposed, as all legisla@
ton is opposed, because many men are
of many minds, but when it has been
thoroughly discussed. it will become so
popular as to ride into congress on
the ambition of some member seeking
reelection.

Retrenchment Figured Out.

1t is a fact that even the most triv-
ial form of saving becomes a. large fin
ancial operation when generally prac-
ticed. How much can the American
nation save by wearing it's old clothes
his year" The report of the census of
manufactures for 1905 shows that the
factory product of mems clothing for
the year was valued at $780, sc, 571.
One-third of this, or considerably less
than one-third on the basis of retail
prices, would more thar equal the en-
tire balance Of trade in this country's
favor for the month of December.
There were $36, 629, 1858 worth of felt
hats sold in 1905. BY wearing their
felt hats so per cent longer than they
have been accustomed to doing, plain
Americans can in a ear effect a saw
ing greater thar the estimate of Mr..
Rockefeller's total b%enefaction during
1906, the record year for philanthropy.
Yet it is not always with clothes that
people first adopt a policy of retrench-
ment. Let them, for example, cut
down by only one-third for only one
half a year the amount they spend on
fresh beef, leaving all the other items
OF the butchers bill unaltered. That
six months saving would be greater
than the sum paid last October over
the counters of the company which
endured the longest run in the history
of banking institutions. Contract by
the same proportion the consumption
Of all kinds of meat-and many we'll
qualified persons think this would be
~abundantly worth while, on hygienic
grounds slone-and a sum equal to the
entire government surplus of Nov. I,
1907, would be saved in less than ten
months. AS to the commodities which
are classed as real luxuries, the facts
are equally striking.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Every editor who rightfully values
his calling and appreciates its obliga-
lions, who aspires to make his paper
influential in molding opinion. who
senses his peculiar relations to his CHI
entele of readers. comes to know that
the price of it all is abstention from
office seeking and holding" is the phil
osophy of the Sioux City Tribune.
The Manson Journal says that
Senator Gear was forced to make the
campaign for senator simply because
he was the only man in Iowa who could
defeat Cummins. Gear was placed in
nomination and died a few months
after. The same tactics are again in
force. Senator Allison is now being
forced into the race by the men Who
wish to defeat Cummins. Allison, old
and i'll, is made the tool of the same
faction that forced Gear to his death.
1t is a crime to compel Senator Ali
son to make this race"

NEW VESSEL IS PLYING

Gus Man.

The new steamer A E. Chappell left
Macon yesterday upon her maiden
trip down the Ocmulgee and will

ability. The new boat carried con-
siderable cargo, and her departure
was the signal for a demonstration
upon the part of those behind the
enterprise. 1t is believed that a

makes good, other boats will be put
on. This steamer bears the name of
former wellknown Americus man,
who began in this city his successful
business career, and Americus friends
applaud his enterprise in thus estab-
fishing a steamer line to the sea-
In years past, when our little S. A. &
M.~Railway, now the bigger Seaboard,
was built to Abbeville, Americus bus
mess men operated a steamer line on
the Ocmulgee river very successfully
the vessels running tG Brunswick and
giving to Americus, for the first time
in her history, competitive freight
rates and breaking for all time the
bonds of monopoly in which she was
then held. The little steamer "Ameri-
GUS" the Maggie Bell" and a little
later the "Swann" did a large river
traffic along in the latter eighties"

Little Ones Provided for

The four Clark children, in whose

poor abandoned little ones was made
known, and within an hour or two
$53 had been handed the committee,
Messrs. Bell, Crisp and Feagin. La

children and, accompanied by Rev.

MONEY IS COMING NEXT
WEEK FOR VETERANS
Sumter S Vets to Receive
About $1,000.

Sumter's Confederate veterans and
widows of veterans will be paid their
pensions next week.
Checks for the payment of pensions
to the Confederate veterans of Geor-

yesterday to the ordinaries of the
various counties by Pension Commits

Checks for the lump sum due in
each county will be sent to the Or

to each pensioner.
Under the new arrangement the
ordinary receives 81 for each pension
handled during the year, but payment
Of this fee is made from the county
treasury and does not come from the
pensioner as heretofore.
AS result of the fact that PEN

this fee, many ordinaries have never
collected it.

Twelve Years as Assistant

years, has occupied the position of as

Captain Furlow has been in i'll

thought, to enable him to resume the
work again.
But the Improvement was but tenn

friends over the state. Finding it
necessary to give up the confinement
of office work, he has determined to
tender his resignation, and devote
himself to the recovery of his health

across the United States-inyolves a
total Of 5000 miles. This is necessary
on account of the winter season, since
the Sierra Nevada range is declared
impossible in the SHOWS of early
March To avoid them southern
detour is required that takes the con-
testants almost as far south as Los
Angeles, total of more than 1900
miles out of their direct way
From San Francisco the cars will
be shipped by steamer to Seattle fol-
the purpose of saving time and pre-
venting them reaching Alaska after
the ice has been broken, leaving the
Alaskan roads a virtual morass.

strait is undertaken, and another wa.

of this is planned along the shore ice
