GETTING UNDER WAY AGAIN.

The announcement in the Atlanta
Journal that the Southern Railway will
resume the work of double-tracking its
system is gratifying.
1t is further stated that the Southern
will restore to work number OF men
who had been Laid off" in it's machine
shops.
The Statesboro News announces that
one OF the biggest saw mills in South
Georgia, which shut down six months
ago, was given an order during the
week for fifteen car loads of its product,
and will start up in few days. Other
orders have been received by it since
Monday.
The Savannah, Augusta and Northern
announces that its project will now be
pushed forward as rapidly as is consis-
tent with the Importance and nature OF
the enterprise.
The Georgia and Florida is going
ahead putting in its connecting links
and joining up the system.
Big lumber plants in South Georgia,
which have been closed or only partly
operated. are preparing to resume in
full.
Throughout the East confidence is
being restored, and in the big centers
there is now no longer the distrust of
Georgia as place of safe investment
that there was short time ago, for it
has been made plain to them that Geor-
gia needs outside capital and will pro-
tect investments in this state.-Au-
gusta Chronicle.

ENEMIES.

Heaven help the man who imagines
he can dodge enemies by trying to
please everybody If such an individ-
ual ever succeeds, pass him over this
way, that " g may have one look at his
mortal remains ere he vanishes away,
for surely this earth cannot be his abid-
ing place. Now, we do not infer that
one should be going through this world
trying to find beams to knock and
thump his head against, disputing every
mans opinion, fighting and elbowing
and crowding all who differ from him.
That, again, is another extreme. Other
people have their opinions, 80 have you.
Don't fall into the error of supposing
they will respect you more for turning
your coat every day to match the color
OF theirs. Wear your own clothes in
spite of wind and weather, storms and
sunshine. 1t costs the irresolute ten
times the trouble to wind and shuttle
and twist than it does honest, manly
independence to stand.

A Minnesota man has just retired
from office after fifty years of continu-
Gus service, and the first thing he did
after stepping down and out was to
write long letter to young men, ad.
vising them to stay out of politics. He
kept the young men out of the office he
filled for fifty years, to say the least.
1t took him long time to find out the
advice to give to young men. He
sucked the orange dry first. 1t is good
advice, it is true, but young men want
to find out for themselves.

He who, though bedecked in dis-
mond and possessed of great wealth,
but lacking a true principle, the esteem
and respect Of his fellow man, is poor
man; and he, though destitute Of this
worlds goods, but possessed of a true
principle, the esteem and respect of his
fellow man, is rich man-rich in the
things that money cannot buy.-Pied-
mont (Ala) Journal.
