There never was a battle that man e'er
fought,
F Like the battle men fight each day
Deep down in the dust with the mean
er thought
That is trying to lure them away.
The fight that one fights 'gainst him
self, | mean,
'Gainst the weakness, the evil, the
wrong;
Oh, that is a battle, indeed, for the
brave,
That is a fight for the strong!
The foes are in ambush, they do not
come out
To give him fair fight and fair field;
They hide meath excuses he makes to
himself,
Though he vows that he never will
yield.
Why the scene of the conflict is strewn
with such vows,
And broken hopes lie at ones feet,
Though they seemed in the morning
so rosy and grand,
And the promise ov victory was
sweet!
There are Waterloos waiting each hour
of the day
For those in the fight against self;
Down, down to the dust in dishonor
We go.
And vice scampeTs off with our pelf,
There was never such fighting in all
the round world,
No armies ere met in such war,
AS this fight 'gainst ones self that We
make day by day,
Though there's never a cannon 20
roar.
The fight against yielding to things
that we know
Are the very worst things we can
do;
The fight against spending the money
that we
Ought to save if we want to be true;
The fight against drink and the fight
against lust,
The fight against lying and hate
Why these are the battles that harry
mems souls,
These are the conflicts of fate!
But on, with the courage to rise when
you fall,
Fight on in the war against self!
The imps will be conquered some day,
let us hope,
And we'll turn them each one to an
elf!
The bravest. dread battle on hill or N
in dale,

OF the man who is trying-though oft
he may fail
To keep his own life in control!

DUDLEY NJ. HUGHES.

In the charges that were made nee
essa-y in the redistricting of the stare
to provide for the additional congress
man that comes to Georgia by virtue
of its increased population. the Third
District loses the services of Col.
Dudley NJ. Hughes, who for two terms
has represented it in the House. Col.
Hughes residence is in Twiggs county,
near Macon, and that county is trans
ferred into another congressional dis
trict, The fact that his home county
is on the extreme boundary of the
Third was largely responsible for the
change that threw it into a new dis
trict,
Col. Hughes has been a prominent
figure in his section for many years.
Long ago he won recognition as
planter of progressive ideas and mod
ern principles. A University graduate,
we believe, he brought to his work rs
an agriculturist broad, cultured and
trained mind To the knowledge of
practical farming he added the bene-
fits Of scientific theory and persistent
study. 1t is safe to say that no man il
Georgia has kept abreast of agricul-
tural progress along its various lines
TO greater extent than Col Hughes
and at the same time practically de-
in his own work that he is
not merely a theorist but planter Of
practical knowledge and gratifying
profitable results.
Col Hughes was a candidate some
years before he finally won the seat IN
Congress he now holds. In his cam
paigns he became known to the mass
Of citizens of the old Third District and
won their esteem even though they
may have failed to support him at the
polls. That esteem remains with him
when he leaves the House of Repre-
sentatiyes. While he has made no pre-
tence at oratory in Congress, Col.
Hughes has made record as a staunch
Democrat. His speeches have been
brief and to the point and have always
enunciated clean-cut Democratic doe
trines on public measures coming be-
fore the House. and in the mass Of
work that falls to the lot of a repre-
sentative to-day he has never been de-
relict in attention to the wants and
wishes of his constituents.
What Col, Hughes future program is
has not been stated Rumor has it that
he will enter the field for the congress-
ional seat in his new district. If so,
his friends in this vicinity will follow
the fight with an unusual degree of in
terest. If, on the contrary, he with
draws from politics, as has also been
intimated, and deyotes his time entirely
to his great plantation at Danyille,
their best wishes will be with him
there and the news of his continued
prosperity will be received with pleas
ure alike by those who have supported
and those who have fought him IN
past campaigns in the Third. We can
all appreciate the fine points of clean
cut man like Dudley NJ. Hughes, even
though in the stress of politics We
may find it impossible to align our
selves under his banner, and through
out the Third District Congressman
Hughes is honored as a man by polit-
ical friends and political foe alike.
And, after all, that is better than win
ming prizes in the political or any other
arena.
