COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES

Said Main street business man to
the secretary: do you see that cross
ing cover over that gutter? Now, isn't
that dangerous placer" He was
pointing 10 one OF the board covers
that is nearly worn through. The Sec
rotary went to Alderman Edge and
was informed that the committee APP
pointed by the council to secure esti-
mates on concrete crossings for Main
street will make its report at the next
meeting. This work is urgently need
ed. Some say: wait till you pave
Main street" Yet when Main street
is paved this work will have to be
done, and 1t might as well be done
now as to throw away more money on
repairs.

family and your community. Another
thing that would help in this direc-
ton, would be to watch the average
public speaker appealing for your
support.
Stop being led by the speaker who
brags on you most, and abuses the
fellow who is absent, and whom you
may dislike. Turn down the politi-
clan who is always playing to the gal
leries or the grandstand. Learn to
distinguish between false and the
true in politics, not letting yourself
be carried off your feet by fellow
who is good at shaking hands, or bel
lowing about your enemies Or promis-
ing you the embarrassing. WHEN
YOU ELECT TO OFFICE THE MAN
WHO DOES THINGS AND WHO RE-
CARDS HIS POLITICAL PROMISES
AS SACREDLY AS HIS BUSINESS
PROMISES YOU WILL BE TAKING
A LONG STEP TOWARD THE SOLU-
TON OF THE RURAL PROBLEM.
I have repeated the warning about
working with and bearing with and
understanding your neighbor because
that is TRUE COOPERATION, and
because true cooperation is the only
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-10-06

way in which we will ever solve prob
lens that press for solution.
They have learned that already in
the cities. They are learning it now
in the country. In the cities, man
may dislike officeholders, or may dis
trust his neighbor or be unable to
get along with him, BUT HE GETS
OVER TT AND GOES TO WORK FOR
THAT COMMUNITIES SUCCESS,
WHICH MEANS HIS OWN INDI-
VIDUAL SUCCESS. In the country,
the farmer generally gets his back
up and it stays up for a good long
time-and meanwhile his community
is on the downgrade, and he wonders
what in the world is the matter.
You won't find these things in any
textbook with a high-sounding title.
But they are the very LIFE OF THE
RURAL PROBLEM. Until we under
stand them, and put them in force,
all our other efforts will be like
man trying to lift himself by his boot
straps.
You know how far he gets!

or the president or master of your
lodge doesn't suit you. Maybe you
ARE the best man for the place, and
maybe your neighbors WE'RE mis-
taken in selecting somebody else. But
it isn't going to help matters for you
to quit in rage. If you wait a little
while, nine chances to one things will
come right. And then, you know,
maybe it's yourself, after all, that is
in the wrong. Size up the thing hon
estly, search your own soul, and try
to see honestly whether or not you
deserved such consideration at the

Some men tell me they can't get

you're in the WRONG PLACE. YOU

WHERE THEY'RE MORE RESPON-

DON'T YOU EVER FORGET THAT
YOU YOURSELF MAY NOT BE A

THAT YOU MAKE JIM, TOM OR

THAN THEY MAKE YOU.
One of the first principles of the
creed of the farmer ought to be
"avoid too much office-seeking'' It's
likely your conscience will get too
tough to be parboiled, if you run for
office. Very probably you'd have to
mortgage your home to pay campaign
expenses. 1t is extremely probable
you've had to shake hands with folks
you wouldn't recognize before you
ran for office, and it's dead certainty
you'd make any number of promises
you couldn't keep and, sometimes,
never intended to keep. You ought
to remember, also, that once you get
in politics, your family skeletons will
come just a-pOpping out of the closet.
Your private life and your past rec
ord, and those of your family, will be
turned inside out like glove, and
henceforth and forever you'll cease to
enjoy the privileges of living as a
private citizen.

lator, or town clerk, or bailiff, or

toward the great grille that, with its armed
guard, is the actual line of demarcation between
the two countries. Beside him trotted fat lit
tie in the uniform of staff officer, with
whom he seemed to be conversing famil1arly.
Evidently he of a rank that entitled him
to be spared the ordeal that awaited us lesser
mortals.
The tedious business over at last and,
once through the barrier, joined the throng in
the restaurant; but he was not among them,
and l guessed he had already gone on, by

sounds came. screams Of mortal fear and pain.

man, fame shot up amid the piled mass of

Others were as ready as 1. and in half minute
we were frantically hauling away at the debris

who were writhing and shrieking under it, be-
fore the fire should reach them.

friend of the previous morning. His stern face,
seen in the sinister light of the blazing wreck

blood that oozed from wound across his fore

look behind at that moment, just in time to see
that man had stolen out from among the pines
in Our rear and was in the act of springing on
my companion.

and choked the fight out of him, anyhow, then

from him, and l had no time to search for it

l sprang up and looked for my companion.
He had his back to tree and was hitting out
right and left at the ruffians round him, like
hounds about stag at bay.

were still ignorant of what was happening SO
close at hand, and rushed to his assistance.

A VALENTINE

A valentine token l send you,
A demure little half-blown rose,
And under the seal of its fragrance
A secret / have to disclose.
Long years ago, by cradle,
Where dreaming little one lay,
Such gifts as the fairies may
He should be blithe and bonny
And gallant and good and gay.
But the wisest of all the fairies
Her wand held over his head.
Love shall follow his footsteps
Wherever they lead" she said.
Never a JOY shall pass him;
But love shall come in its stead"
Just then the unheeding baby
Stirred and awoke and cried.
The fairies silently vanished
Away from the cradles side;
But the fairy gifts they left him
Abode and will ever abide.
They grew with the little ones growing,
And the child was good and gay
And gallant and blithe and bonny;
But the last was the best, | saw
For never one knew him but loved him
And loves him still to this day.
That you were that fortunate baby,
Is the secret had to disclose;
But. bark you, pray you and mark you,
It's told to you under the rose!

they have cranky idea about the telegraph
wires becoming tired. Youngsters say the trouble
is in the waning strength of the aged arms that
plays out toward the end of the week and not
the wire: but the older men shake their heads
and talk about the saturation of the wires by
the constant flow of current over them. Elec-
tromagnets are said to be rendered useless by
too much current. which saturates them, and
the same theory is applied to telegraph wires
bythese cranky old operators Practically every
telegraph operator has some queer" notion
regarding his profession or some part of the
implements with which he works: but they
are discovered only by close association.
The choicest bit of slang of the age lay con-
cealed in the ticks of their instruments for
years before George Cohan rescued it and put
it to work in one of his musical comedies. Tele-
graph operators have been saying '23" to each
other over the wire for number of years; but
no one knew anything about it. A great many
people still unaware of the fact that this bit
of slang originated with telegraph operators
for only short while ago writer ventured the
opinion that the term "23" was of biblical
origin and cited the twenty-third verse of the
sixteenth chapter of Matthew as the probable
place.

the first man to whom the appellatlon crank
was applied, and though he made the word
mean genius it still clings to the profession:
All telegraph operators are not crarks, and
they are not all numbered among the genn OF
the key but no other profession has been so
successful in bringing out the eccentric charac-
teristics of those inclined to be cranky. and few
vocations have developed more true genius.
Many of the men who made history first made
dots and dashes. and to-day it is difficult to
find group of men engaged IN an important
undertaking that does not include one or more
who started their career at the telegraph key.
Telegraphers are usually high strung, nerv
Gus men. and soon develop eccentric1tles that
cause them to be considered cranky. There
used to be an operator employed by Wash
ington newspaper who earned the appellatlon
of crank because whistling in the office so
affected him that he could not work. His case.
however. was not an isolated one: for it is well
known that music of any kind has peculiar
ling popular air will stop practically every in
strument in a telegraph office Dots and dashes
become meaningless tumble of sounds, and
the operators lose all idea of their meaning. All
operators are affected more or less by music;
but those who have natural ear for melody
have the hardest time when band passes the

1t is not the noise that smothers the sound
of the instrument. The din on the field of

the Stock Exchange have no effect upon him
so long as he can hear the tick of the instru-
ment He will even carry on a conversation
while receiving a message, or watch thrilling
plays in an exciting baseball game without
breaking; but let the plaintive strains from a
hand organ float UP from the street below and
he is all at sea. The reason for this may be
found in the fact that there is a kind of musical
rhythm in the ticking of Morse characters
which is accentuated in a musical ear. The
tempo of the air played by the organ or band
or whsted by the small boy upsets the rhythm
of the ticking instrument, and in his effort to
keep the dots and dashes from falling into the
swing of the rival music the operator loses their
meaning.
Not all operators are affected by music, how
ever, probably because there are some men who
have no ear at all for music, and are, therefore,
able to keep the dots and dashes in line and
prevent them joining in with the band
The man who beat Joseph P. Gallagher for the
message championship of the world in 1904
was one of this class Gallagher of the
star operators who held the receiving cham
ponship. He won in the contest at Philadel-
phia in 1903; but lost it the next year because
the band at Madison Square played Dixie
during the contest. His opponent was South
erner with no ear for music; SO, instead of
confusing him, the strains of the patriotic air
inspired him to greater effort, while Gallagher
was foundering around, hopelessly lost.
