They Called Him Jim"

q. b. Neyin in Atlanta GeorgianD
No matter who wins the race for
congress in the Second district-and
several exceptionally fine and worthy
gentlemen are willing enough to take
over the job it appears-he will tlnd
himself face to face with one more
or less complex and veXing problem
when he gets to Washington; i. e.,
how to measure up, even approx
mately, to the high standard of pop
ularity enjoyed by the late Judge
James NJ. Griggs, for many years a
representative in congress from that
district
Everybody in Washington City
knew Jim Griggs, mad everybody
who knew him liked him, if they
didn't actually adore him!
1t was no uncommon thing to hear
him saIuted indiscriminately with
Hi. Judge" as he walked along
PENNSYLVANIA avenue in the after
noon. as he frequently did, on his
way up town from the capitol.
These friedly salutations came
from all sorts of peOple-statesmen
newsboys, ordinary citizens OF Wash
ington. boys, girls, cab drivers, street
car motormen, BARRIERS, department
clerks-anybody, everybody, it made
no difference what walk in life! They
all knew Jim Griggs and loved
him accordingly!
Not only that, but he was most
highly esteemed and respected by
his colleagues in the house. He was
an exceptionally able lawyer, a fine
debater, clear-headed, and of unques-
toned integrity. He came in time
to be a member of the all-pOwerful
ways and means committee OF the
house-and at the same time he was
known in the cloak rooms as an in
imitable story teller.
Whoever goes to Washington from
the Second Georgia district, there
fore, is going to be up against some
thing like this from the old-timers:
Mr.. Blank, huh? From Jim
Griggs' old district? Humph' Haw!
Um-m-m. Well, we'll sect
That will mean that the man who
wins out will have something of a
hard row to travel in the matter of
catching on" and learning the
ropes,
Griggs was wonder at making
friends. He radiated warmth and
geniality like a red-hot stove on a
cold winters day. He was cheerful
and cheering. And Washington
hasn't forgotten him, and will not
for many long day.

reason, unrest and destruction
How long the big mouth will be
the vogue heaven only knows. But
it dominates in politics and in legis-
Iation. 1t obtrudes upon every eff
fort for reform, and, worst of all, it
deludes a lot of credulous people in
to the belief that sound is better
than sense. and noise superior to
wisdom.
They had the big mouths in scrip
tural days. They were described by
a veracious chronicler of a period
resembling our own in many re-
spects. For history continually re-
peats itself. The chronicler said:
But all their works they do for to
be seen of men; they make broad
their phyIacteries, and enlarge the
borders of their garments. They love
the uppermost rooms of feasts, and
the chief seats in the synagOgues.
Even so ye also outwardly appear
righteous unto men, but within We
are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

WHAT BECOMES OF
GEORGIA'S WEALTH?

From the Home and Farmstead.
Who creates is one thing and al
important thing.
Who gets it at last is another and
a more important thing.
For instance, Georgia has piled up
her wealth during the one hundred
and eighty-two years of her existence
as a state at the rate of about So
10000 a year.
Or about $500 a year per inhab-
liant
Our increase in wealth in 1912
amounted to about $4,000, 400, or
about p cents a day per inhabi-
tant.
Counting out the Fulton county
increase it leaves about $13, 100000
for all the rest Of the state, or about
.11a cents a day apiece.
Counting out the increase Of
wealth in the manufacturing coun-
ties of the state the increase OF
wealth in the country regions Of
Georgia in 1912 was about one-third
of a cent a day apiece.
In 1907 occurred our most enor-
nous gain. 1t amounted to $72,-
100000, or eight cents day apiece
for the inhabitants of Georgia.
All told, we created in Georgia
last year wealth amounting to about
five hundred million dollars!
And $475,O0O.OO0 of it got away
from us!
Like a coyey of birds before a
bunch of poor gunners.
Like birds winged for long fight
into alien states and countries!
For all our toll and sweat, our
worry and bother we were only about
two and a half cents a day apiece
better off in Georgia.
Too bad, What are we going to
do about it?

There are many lessons not learn
ed in books, which the schools en-
! deayor TO stamp upon the characters
OF children. and one of these is
promptness. This is taught not only
/ by precept, but by example.
Every child in school knows eX-
actly at what time the bell will ring,
and if lie is behind time he is tardy.
Every teacher knows all meetings
and all school duties must be
promptly observed.
This quality of promptness in all
of the affairs of life is a most yalua-
Bile part of a childs education. The
business world demands it, and sue
cess or failure often depends upon
it, 1t may be a strong statement, but
it is true one that no man can be
habitually behind time and retain the
full respect of the business world
very long.
1t is not only annoying to be COM
PEELED to wait on people who are not
prompt, but it is often a positive loss
of time and money The world re-
spects promptness more than we
think, and sooner or later this fine
quality will be duly recognized and
rewarded.
The railroads have taught the
world a valuable lesson in prompt
ness, and l never see train of cars
pull out from a station on its sched-
ule but that my respect and my con-
fidence in that road is thereby in
creased.
1t may be said in general that sue
cessful people are usually prompt,
and that the failures in life are lack
ing in this quality. One reason why
we pay some men more than 9th
ers is that we can rely upon them
to do promptly the things they prom
Use to do. A borrower will not be
trusted a second time by bank if
he fails to keep his word, and a clerk
who is habitually behind will be dis
charged. And this is only just.
Most of the great men of the world
were noted for their prOmptness.
Hannibal, Caesar, Napoleon, Lee and
Stonewall Jackson were seldom be-
hind time 1t is said that Napoleon
consulted his watch as carefully as
he did the map of his battlefield, but
it was his loss of time before action

Parents should cooperate heartily
with the schools in the effort to in
culcate into the minds and characters
of their children this most valuable
quality of promptness. Thej can do
this by seeing that their children at
tend school regularly and that they
leave home in the morning in time TO
reach the school at the opening hour.
Parents should provide place and
time for their children TO study,

and they should be required to per-

The matter of these duties is of far
less importance than the manner of
the performance If a boy is assign
ed the duty of making fire, cutting
the wood or feeding the chickens, or

| see thousands of children almost
daily, and it is surprising to note how
careless many parents are of the real
welfare of their offspring. Children
should play to be sure, but there
should also be time specified for
study.
All of US make new resolutions at
times, and now at the beginning of
new school year it would be we'll for
every parent to resolve that he will
help the teachers Of his children to
cultivate and establish those habits
of promptness which the world so
much respects and rewards and
which counts so much for success in
life.

There never was a time when men

HIGHWAY SUPERVISION

From the Atlanta Journal.
In inaugurating a system of state
aid and supervision for highway work
in the various counties the prison
commission has rendered invaluable
service in the cause of good roads in
Georgia. On January the first next
it will employ a civil engineer expe-
rienced in road building, whose SER
vice and assistance will be at the dis
posaI of county authorities.
1t will be impossible Of course for
one engineer to meet the demands Of
the entire state; in time there must
be corps of engineers ready to an
swer promptly the call of every coun-
ty. But the commission has made
the best beginning its available funds
permit 1t has taken the first step in
the right direction; and as the value
of the new plan becomes manifest
we may be sure that money for its
extension will be appropriated.

WHAT Is CULTURE?

From the Andalusia, Ala, Star.
What is "culture?" Congressman
debated the question a few days ago
some of them taking the position
that a highly skilled workman is, in
his line, as highly cultured" as a
teacher of Latin or Greek. 1t SEEM
ed to be agreed that a girl who is a
fine cook is much more cultured than
a girl who can't cook and is a poor
piano player. Why shouldn't it De
considered as high-toned to be capa-
BILE of turning out tempting dishes
as to be able to get harmony ont OF

Pig Clubs in Georgia,

In the opinion Of The News one OF
4be most valuable movements ever
inaugurated in Georgia is to supple
ment the corn club work with pig
clubs.
Through the efforts OF the State
College of Agriculture James r.
Downin of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, United States Department OF
Agriculture has been employed to
organize pig clubs in the state in CO.
operation with the extension work Of
the college, at which institution his
Headquarters will be located.
In his work of organizing pig clubs
Mr.. Downin will be assisted by the
farm demonstration agents of the
state. The orgaization of these clubs
will begin at once 1t is the inten-
ton to teach the boys how to feed
hogs to get the greatest increase in
weight at the least possible cost
They will be encouraged to get pure
bred hogs as far as possible, Con-
tests will be held each year at the
county and state fairs. OF course,
it is now too late to exhibit at the
fairs this year, but by naxt fall it is
expected there will be several coun-
ties organized and ready for exhibits
of their best pigs.
1t is a movement that should
mean much for Georgia.
