THE CENTRAL'S AID.


Elsewhere in this issue Of The
journal will be found description
Of the new feature in the way Of in
dustrial education which the Cen
traf-of Georgia railway is fostering
in its plan to present motion picture
shows along its lines by means Of
special train equipped for this pur-
pose.
The Central is always aggressive
and enterprising in every effort that
is being made by modern railway
corporations in keeping itself and
the patrons Of its service abreast Of
the times. The motion picturetra
should be an agency for much good.
It is practical and helpful manner.
In its relations to the people Of
Leesburg and Lee county the Cen
trail has been uniformly ready to
assist in every way possible. It's
generous donation to the boys corn
club work and its other aid has been
appreciated. The people Of the
county wish its aid in another mat
ter which is one Of vital impor-
lance.
The Central conducts an indus
trial department that has supervi-
sion in directing immigrants to the
best and most inviting farming sec
tions along its lines. In this res
pect the people Of Lee county ask
for the most earnest and helpful CO.
operation of Industrial Agent Jack
son and the other officials of the
road who are interested in the de-
velopment of the counties which the
road traverses.
Lee county needs more white
farmers. They will be welcomed
here. They will find the very best
lands in Georgia, which may still
be obtained in sections of the coun-
tv at such low prices as will surely
please all prospective white immi-
grants. All modern advantages are
offered all who viii come. Good
arming lands, pure water, the best
roads, numerous and up-to-date
schools and practically every advan- /
tage that could be asked.
In behalf Of the people Of Lee
county The Journal cordially invites
Industrial Agent Jackson to pay q
visit to this section and to turn this
way every desirable white immi-
grant possible. There are few coun-
ties in Georgia with better natural
resources awaiting the coming Of
the Industrious white farmer. The
cooperation Of the Central in this
work is earnestly solicited, for the
growth of Lee county means the
growth Of the business that the Cen
trail is doing in this section. A
campaign of mutual helpfulness is
what is needed now very much, and
The Journal will do all that it can
to promote the most cordial relations
between the Central and the people
of this county. !

DOWN WITH THE KNOCKER.
The Early County News has no
patience with the knocker. Try as
hard as you please, says The News,
you can never get the knoeker to
believe his home town is anything
but a modern Nazareth. Nothing
good can come from it. Even when
some bit of successful huetling or
unusual generosity sets the outside
world talking. he finds some flaw,
some manner in which the coed
would have been bettered had it
happened elsewhere. His brains, if
to water, would not be sufficient to
dampen the dust on a gnat's whis-
kers, but he considers himself cap
able of giving advice to old man

Talbot Countains in the person of
Helen Adelaide RowIands, kin Of
Bishop Adams, OF Easton. has par
odied this notable poem with such
effectiveness from the feminine
standpoint, that 1t is going the
rounds of the press. 1t appeared
not long ago in the Philadelphia Ev-
ening Bulletin, and it is published
herewith in full, as follows:
If you can win a husband without
trying,
And make him think that he's
the prize-not you;
If you can trust him-when you
know he's lying,
And never even let him know
you know;
If you can wait, and walt and
keep on waiting,
And greet him, when he comes,
with smiling eyes,
And listen to the old equivocating,
And never say too much nor look
too wise.
If you can love him, minus shave
or collar,
If you can cook-when cooking S
not your aim;
If you can coax for every single
dollar,
And go on being thankful" just
the same;
If you can hear the earnest words
you've spoken
Twisted to make them sound in
sane, absurd,
Or see your dearest hopes and
idols broken,
And never, never say a single
word;
If you can make one heap of your
illusions,
And risk them on one man-to
stand or fall
And finding all your fairest dreams
delusions,
Can still declare that he was
worth it all;
If you can force your heart, and
nerves, and sinew
To keep a smiling face until the
end,
And never show what thoughts are
seething in you,
And seem to feel the Joy that
you pretend;
If you can have your say and
then keep quiet,
And never lose your gentle little
touch
If you can hide his weakness or
deny it,
And other men don't interest you
much;
If you can spend each day and
hour and minute
In pleasing him-and never make
blunder,
Well, matrimony's yours - for
what there's in 1t,
And-what is more my girl,
you'll be wonder.

Nc. Marbury's Candidacy.
Editor of The Sun

ASuASOA VI luz Jun
Sir: Democrats of Maryland
should rejoice at the opportunity af-
forded them to place in the United
States Senate a man who will bring
credit and glory to our State and
real service to the Nation.
William L. Marbury typifies the
new era in our political life in
Maryland. He represents in this
State the same forces which went
to make the candidacy of Woodrow
Wilson a possibility. and later his
election to the Presidency of this
great republic reality-the forces
which put ability and craftsmanship
above politics and selfishness, and
whose watchword is public well
fare"
Our national. life is just now
undergoing a revolutionary change,
and If ever we needed good men
and strong to cope with the prob
lens which confront US, now is that
time. Representative governments
life is being threatened by socialis-
tic doctrine. International breaches,
growing out of legislation regulating
the Panama Canal, are impending
our peace and happiness. Questions
involving the hearth of every Ameri-
can citizen are being daily passed
upon by the Congress while re-
forming the tariff. Do these mat
satile great men? Is it not our
duty. should it not be our pleasure,
to accept these great men when
their services are offered to us?
Mr.. Marbury possesses deep inter-
est in and sympathetic understand
ing of these questions. His ability
to deal with and master them is a
well-known fact. The conclusion is
easily drawn.
The advent of men of the Mar
bury type into political life has an
even greater significance from
moral standpoint. For many years
politics has been sinking deeper and
deeper into the mire, until it has
finally reached point where its
offerings are unrepresentative, and
the majority of it's results directly
undemocratic. This is pitiable
state of affairs. What service
should be held in higher esteem
than the service bestowed by the
confidence and respect of ones
friends, neighbors and fellow-citi-
zens? Yet it has become a dishon-
or and the officeholder is looked up
on in shady disrepute.
Our country cannot prosper under
these conditions. History proves
that corruption and immortality have
undermined and been the ultimate
downfall of other great nations of
the past. Unless We choose to fall,
we must put away the INSCRIPTIONS
and bring in its stead high-minded-
ness. integrity and civic righteous
ness. The affairs of the State and
the Marion must De carried on WITH
as great efficiency as is the work of
the most methodical Of private Of
fleee
Through Mr.. Marbury there lies
q road that leads to better things,
We must accept him.
