A REAL HEROINE.
moved.

The common opinion is that real
heroines are something unusual and
rare. When a woman saves a hui
man being from drowning at the risk
of her own life she is lauded as a
heroine, and societies give her med
ais by way of distinguishing her
from the rest of womankind.
But what she did, says an ex-
change, wasn't really as brave as
what thousands of her sisters are do
ing every day. The true heroine is
she who wears clothes as they are
ordained by the little tin goddess of
fashion.
The woman of fashion, or she who
aspires to be woman of fashion, go
ing forth in her enormous hat which
doesn't allow her to lean back COM
fortably in car or closed carriage,
her high heels that are always catch
ing in something or other, skirts
which make it impossible for her to
take a normal STEP silly little wrist
bag that must be touched constantly
or it will get lost, and head weighed
down with false hair under her air
ship hat-this woman is truly brave.
She wears all that toggery, in
which she must be exceedingly I'M
comfortable, and she wears it so
placidly, so smilingly, that man
thinks-but what does man think
when he beholds fashionably
dressed woman?
Perhaps he doesn't know that her
clothes are uncomfortable, for he
has never worn them, and no woman
would ever confess to him how she
feels in them. She is Drawer than
the martyrs of old, for the martyrs
recanted sometimes, and what wo-
man ever wavered in her smile while
out in society" no matter how her
dress was hurting her?
If women accomplish great things
in the future it will be because of
their careful training in discomfort.

WHAT THE COMMITTEE DID.

The State Democratic Executive
Committee met in Atlanta Saturday,
and called the state primary for
August 23rd and prescribed rules
under which it will be held.
The primary covers all candidates
for state offices, including superior
court judges, solicitors-general and
members of the general assembly. 1t
is to be white" primary, the rules
specifying as follows:
"All white electors who have duly
registered according to law, prospect
i've of past political affiliations, and
who intend in good faith to abide the
result of the party primary and sup
port the nominations thereby, are
hereby declared qualified, and are in
vited to participate in said primary
election"
1t is provided that if a ticket
is voted in the primary with the
name of any regular candidate omit
ted the ballot shall be declared void
Each candidate for a state house
office is assessed $50 to defray the
expenses of the state committee, and
no further assessments shall be put
upon the candidates by the counties
or any one else.
The state convention is called to
meet in Atlanta on Thursday, Sep
TENDER 1st, and in the convention
each county will be entitled to twice
the number of delegates that it has
representatives in the legislature.

all nominations in the convention

value to employ workers at the polls
or in advance of the primary, or in
the purchase of votes directly or in
directly.

PRACTICE AS WELL AS PREACH
By Men Who Buy Away From Home

1t is recognized that one of the
greatest sources of weakness to the
commercial interests of a town is the
practice Of buying goods away from
home.
Every dollar sent away, no matter
by whom it is sent, for the purchase
of goods reduces the available CAPT.
tai of the town, lessons the strength
of the local business houses and I'M
dermines the foundation on which the
prosperity of the town rests.
The spirit Of pride in home, the
desire to help build up your town,
should be sufficiently strong to keep
every one from sending money away
that should be turned into the chan
nels of trade locally.
But not only those who are not in
business are guilty of this method of
interfering with home development.
Even business men, dependent them
selvesselves upon local trade for the
support of their establishments, are
said to be guilty at times of falling
to practice what they preach; of for
getting the next door business neigh
Dor, or the man around the corner
in some other line of business than
their own, when they want goods.
This class, who expect the trade of
their home people, are justly taken
to task by merchant of Americas
in an interview given the Americas
Times-Recorder, He says:
1T is time that our business men
set their faces steadfastly against the
altogether too prevalent practice of
buying away from home. But be-
fore they do this consistently and
unitedly they must faithfully prac-
tice what they preach.

CARD OF THANKS.

From the Wauseca (Minn.) Herald.
The day is not far distant when
cards of thanks" will be a thing of
the past. When death enters a home
neighbors never fail to do all in their
power to place silver lining behind
the dark cloud, and they do not ex-
pect or desire any thanks through
the public press. One subscriber,
however, in a neighboring town, not
to be outdone, sent in the following
to the editor: Mr.. Editor: I de-
sire to thank the friends and neigh
bors most heartily in this manner
for their cooperation during the i'll
ness and death of my late husband
who escaped from me by the hand of
death last Friday while eating break
fast. To all my friends and all who
contributed so willing to make the
last moments and the funeral a sue
cess | desire to remember most kind
ly, hoping these lines will find them
enjoying the same blessing. I have
also a good mich COW and a. roam
gelding horse which l will sell cheaD.
God moves in a mysterious way his
wonders to perform. He plants his
footsteps on the sea and rides upon
the storm" Also a black and white
shoat cheap"

BY E. L. RAINEY.

The grand jury highly compliments
Superintendent ]. T. McLendon on
his management of the county farm.
Mr.. McLendon is not only an up-to-
date and successful farmer, but un-
der his supervision Terrell county is
acquiring one of the best systems of
public highways in the entire state.
The grand jury's kind and thought
full words are to be commended.
The News has often said how much
better it is, if one deserves them, to
speak words of praise when they can
help and encourage and be appre-
ciated 1t is too often that we wait
until it is too late to do and say for
one another the kindly little things
that would be so helpful, and make
life's burdens lighter.

MAKES AN EDITOR TIRED.

From the Valdosta Times.
Another thing makes the editor
heart-sore and weary. "Mommer"
and pepper" take a notion some
times to announce the engagement
of their dear thing" Instead of
putting the notice in the home paper
they send it off to Atlanta and then
ask the home editor to copy it from
the Atlanta paper If the home pa
per were to wait to copy the write-up
of the marriage from the Atlanta pa
per the chances are that mighty little
would be said about it.
1t is all wrong to treat the home
paper that way It does not happen
often, but it does happen now and
then-Oftener than it should. Home
people should give home institutions
the preference They should patron
ize the home merchants and try to
say something good occasionally for
the home paper This not only looks
best, but it is the safest policy in
this world and the next.
Some of the folks who pretend to
believe that the sun rises and sets
with Atlanta papers may have to
flock with those papers some of these
days. Then they will want the home
editor to bring them a cup OF, water
and help them out in other ways.

AS it is now there are some ner.
chants who cannot do this. Thew
forget the unity of spirit that shonld
mark the business interests of CITY,
and order goods they do not carry
themselves, but which their friends
and neighbors do. Furniture. cloth
ing, dress goods, jewelry, millinery
these and many other lines, all car
rled by responsible houses here, are
bought by local merchants or their
wives or children away from home,
This is not the spirit that should
be displayed. Every business man
should set his face steadfastly
against buying anything away from
home, either on his own part or on
the part of any member of his family.
Unless he does that he has no legiti-
mate right to call on the public gen.
orally to do their trading at home.
Now, the public is not slow to find
out things, and when it finds out that
this local business man, or that local
business man, buys his clothing in
Macon, his jewelry in Atlanta, his
wife's hats in Albany or Columbus,
and his children's dresses somewhere
else the public does it's own think
ing, and concludes that there is no
reason it should not do likewise.
Let every business man here see
that the money spent by him and his
family is spent with the local mer-
chants. Then let the local mer-
chants start campaign to awaken
the people to sense of their duty
to their home city, and there will
not be so much reason to complain
on this score, the city's business in
terests will be more prosperous and
we will get the spirit of public unity
and enterprise that we need.

DR.. L. G. Hardman of Commerce,
who was considered a gubernatorial
probability, announced in Saturday
Atlanta Georgian that he will not be
a candidate. He refers to the fact
that it has been an almost unbroken
custom in Georgia to give the gov
ernor a second term, and adds be-
sides that he does not care to do
anything to disturb the political
quiet and peace that are so much
to be desired in the state. DR.. Hard
man is one of Georgia's best and most
substantial and highly esteemed citi-
zens, and should he at some future
time be called to the exalted office
of governor he will serve the people

WOMAN RULES.

From the albany Herald.
Notwithstanding the action of
the general conference of the
Meth Odist church in refusing to
grant women equal authority in
church affairs we suspect that
lovely woman will continue to
manage the churches, just as she
has been doing Lead
er.
To be sure she will. She man
ages everything under the sun which
she deems worthy of her talents, in
Guiding churches, colleges, hospitals,
hotels, manufacturing and industrial
enterprises, plantations, mercantile
establishments, lawsuits, political
campaigns, governmental depart
ments of cities, states and nations
automobiles, dirigible balloons,
yachts, ice-boats, transportation lines
babies and men. And let it be con-
fessed that she finds 1.-The lord OF
creation" the easiest proposition OF
all, even though he may often ap-
pear to be least worthy of her tai
ents and attention.
The churches would be in bad
way if it were not for the women in
them. Indeed, there would soon be
no churches at all.

IT CERTAINLY IS

Editor Clark Howell of the At
lanta Constitution has been quoted
as saying that Georgia would cast
its vote for Roosevelt were he nomi-
mated for president There are many
who are weary of this adulation of
the Big Noise by democrats, and
among them is Senator Joe Bailey
of Texas, who characterizes it as abb
surd and speaks out as follows:
1.-THE suggestion that the
democrats take up Roosevelt
and nominate him for president
is as heretical as if the wings
had been asked to nominate
Andrew Jackson, or the demo-
Gratis to support Henry Clay.
1t is as absurd as if the followers
of Thomas Jefferson had been
asked to support Alexander
Hamilton. 1t shows how COM
pletely many of our people have
been won to the idea of the man
and away from the idea of great
principles.
II, rejecting all 1SmS and
fads, we will set our faces reso-
lutely in favor of our ancient
principles, without stopping to
consider whether it means vic
tory or defeat, we will make our
future secure, but as long as we
palter with great issues, or turn
aside to court the favor of fac
ton or classes, we can neither
restore ourselves to the conf e
dence of the people nor bring
this government back to the
principles on which its founders
intended it should rest"

How fast twill multiply;
So when old age comes creeping on
You'll have a goodly store
OF wealth and happiness and health,
And maybe something more.
There are shorter cuts to fortune,
We see them every day,
But those who save their self-respect
Climb up the good old way.
All is not gold that glitters,"
And makes the vulgar stare,
And those we deem the richest
Have oft the least to spare.
Don t NEEDLE with your neighbors,
Their business or their cares
You IL find enough to do, my boy,
TO mind your own affairs.
The world is full of idle tongues,
You can afford to shirk-
There are lots of people ready
To do such dirty work.
And if amid the race for fame
You win the shining prize,
The humble worth of honest men
You never should despise.
For each one has a mission
In lifes unchanging plan;
Though lowly be his station
He is no less a man.
BE good, be pure, be noble,
BE honest, brave and true,
And do to others as you would
That they should do to you.
And place your trust in Christ, my
boy,
Though fiery darts be buried.
And you can smile at Satan's rage
And face a frowning world.
Goodbye, John, may kind heaven
guard
Your footsteps day by day.
The old home will be lonely
When you have gone away:
The cricket's song upon the hearth
Will have a sadder tone;
The old familiar spots will be
So lonely when you're gone.

JOHN LEAVES THE OLD HOME

But one thing let me tell you
Before you make your start,
There's more in being honest,
Twice DER, than being smart
The rogue may seem to flourish,
And sterling worth to fail,
Oh! keep in view the good and true;
Twill in the end prevail.
Don't think too much of money,
And dig and drive and plan,
And rake and scrape in every shape
To hoard all that you can.
Though fools may count their riches
In shillings, pounds and pence,
The best of wealth is youth and
health,
And good, sound common sense.
And don't be mean and stingy,
But lay little by
Of what you earn-you will soon
learn
You're going to leave the homestead,
You're twenty-one today,
And the old man will be sorry
To see you go away.
You've labored late and early,
And did the best you could;
l amt a-going to stop you
l wouldn't if | could.
Yet something of your feelings
s'pose | ought to know;
Though many year has passed
away
Twas forty years ago
When hope was high within me,
And life all lay before,
That I with strong and measured
stroke
"Cut loose and pulled from shore. "
The years they come and go, my boy,
The years they come and go,
And raven locks and tresses brown
Grow white as driven snow.
My life has known it's sorrows,
Its trials and troubles sore,
Yet God withal has blessed me
In basket and in store"
