BULLY FOR SENATOR BACON.
rom the Macon Evening News.

From the Macon Evening News.
Senator Bacon strikes a peculiarly
responsive chord in the South and IN
every section where justice and fair
ness are priced and honored by his
position on the authorship of THE
Southerner," the novel written by the
American ambassador to Great Brit
ain.
Senator Bacon has simply stated
that if he had known of "The South
erner" in time-if he had known Of
it during the tendency of Mr.. Pages
Iappointment-the nomination would
have been "held up" by the senate.
He further states that other members
of congress, probably other members
of the committee on foreign relations,
share this sentiment.
For making this declaration Sena-
tor Bacon has been taken to task by
the New York Times, which seldom
overlooks an opportunity to sheer at
the South, although the owner of it
is also the proprietor of a successful
Southern newspaper. After discuss
ing Senator Bacon's attitude with
thinly yelled sarcasm the Times says:
"As a matter of fact, The South
erner' has been highly praised by
many Southerners as veracious and
spirited account of development in
the South after the war between the
States"
Will the New York Times please
name the Southerners who have
SPOKEN in such kindly and eulogIstlc
fashion of Mr.. Pages vicious rub
bish? The South would really like to
have the information.
If there are men of the South who
endorse Mr.. Pages book (Which he
wrote under the nom de plume of
Nicholas Worthy then the saying
is truly exemplif1ed that it takes all
kinds of men to make up this world
'"The Southerner" is as gross
Misrepresentation of the South in
book form as it has ever been the
privilege of The Macon News to OBJ
serve. 1t positively paints a wholly
incorrect picture of reconstruction
days, and it slurs at Southern char
acterfstics, at the veterans who
fought for the South, and at the
Daughters of the Confederacy. 1t
likewise g1orifies the negro.
The South is indebted to Senator
Bacon for his publicly taken position
in this matter.

LUCK.

Luck is of your own making,
Luck means rising at six in the
morning and living on 81 a day
if you can make 81. Luck means
the hardships and privations you
have not hesitated to endure, the
long nights devoted to hard
work. Luck means the appoint
ments you have never failed to
keep, the trains you have never
failed to catch. Luck means the
trusting in God and your own
resources. Luck comes to them
who help themselves and know
how to wait.-Max O'Rell.

WHO DO THE DRINKING?

/ Il
How does it happen that despite
the decrease in the number of saloons
and the increase in the number of
dry spots in the country Americans
drank more whiskey and beer per
capita in the fiscal year that ended
June goth than ever before in any
one year? The thirst of those who
drink seems to be harder to satisfy.
Or is it true that the number of
drinkers is constantly increasing,
even at a greater rate than the popu-
lation and although those who be-
lieye in prohibition are constantly
fighting the liquor traffic? There
were $4,000 fewer retail drinking
places in the last fiscal year than in
the one preceding.
On the surface it seems that the
nation is growing more temperate.
If the internal revenues did not give
an accurate indication of the amount
of whiskey and beer consumed it
would be easy to believe that there
is really less drinking now than there
was several years ago. Drinking dur
ing business hours Is no longer the
common, everyday thing it used to
be- Employers no longer shut their
eyes when employees slip out to the
corner saloon for a heartening nip.
Some railroads refuse to employ
drinking men. Some merely demand
that their employees shall not drink
while on duty, others that they shall
not drink at all, either on or off
duty.
Business and professional men
who keep a private bottle in their
offices for their own delectation and
for that of business visitors are no
longer as numerous as they used to
be- Add to these facts the number of
prohibition states and the number of
counties and towns in other states
that have voted to be dry" and it is
not easy to see just where the enor-
nous quantities of whiskey and beer
manufactured every year go. The
increase in population from year to
year doesn't account for it. The man
who is known as a drinking man has
not the same chance to keep or land
a job as he who is known to be tenn
perate. The professional or business
man who has acquired a reputation
as a consumer of considerable
amounts of liquor will not be trusted
as is the temperate man. Reasons of
business and of health both urge
men towards temperance in drinking,
and yet there is the undisputed state
ment that the river of whiskey and
beer is rising and 10 now higher than
ever before.
Will the country continue to wet
its whistle with a constantly increEs-
ing volume of fntoxicants? If men
in public life, men in business and /
the professions and employees are
drinking less than was the case a de- !
cade ago, then who consumes the !
vast quantity of whiskey and beer
that is produced? Positively it is
true that the apparently increasing
is only on the surface and |
that enough drinking is done in pri- /
vate and ION the quiet" to more than /
make up for the more open and boast |
full drinking that prevailed a few de-
cades ago.

Sentiment has been the chief cause
of Georgias failure to admit women
to the practice of law But their ad-
vocates seem to be getting the better
of sentiment at last, as the judiciary
committee of the house of representa-
tives has reported a "Portia bill'
favorably. Possibly before another
year has passed there will be cases
before Georgia courts in which Miss
or Mrs. Counsel will appear for one
of the parties.

The Happy Man
From the Early County News.

From the Early County News.
The happiest man in the world is
the common, everyday chap who
makes his own living, pays his own
bills and has the respect of all his
neighbOrs. He saves a little money
as he goes along, but doesn't try to
get corner on his local output and
he is not a slave to ambition or So
ciety. He never expects to wear out
his trousers in the seat, and when
he glides out of bed in the morning
he never wastes any time trying to
pick out the right tint of socks,
suspenders and necktie that will
blend with the general effect.
He only wears a high collar when
he feels like it, and when his pet
corn begins to jump he jerks out his
knife and cuts four inch cash in the
side of his shoe and nothing is said
about it in the local paper. He new
err has to sit up at night to pOultice
his conscience. He believes in the
doctrine of live and let live. When
he encounters one of the needy he
doesn't stutter with his pocketbook.
The plain plug of a man is happy
because he. is satisfied, and he does
not spend half of his time yearning
for something which his salary will
not permit him to buy. Give US more
plain men and the world will be
better.

Vacations at Home.

From the Triton Gazette
The Dawson News has a sensible
editorial on Vacations at Home"

baby and its mother, also father and

quiet and rest. And the vacation at
home doesn't cost so much.

The man who spends at home is
worth far more to the community
than the fellow who orders off,
after everything he needs. He does
his part to build up the town and

money from it that would very mate
rally build up his town. There
would be some reason for such
proposition if a man gained anything
by the mail order business, but he
does not. He goes away from the
home merchant and pays more for his
goods and has no chance to examine
his purchase, and if he is stung in
buying he has no way to get squar-
