GUIDE GIVES
LIPE A WORLDS RECORD

Tie Spalding official baseball guide
has made its appearance and follow
ers of the great American sport are
eagerly scanning the pages. The
guide is complete and contains much
Interesting data.
One of the worlds records noted in
the guide is that of Perry Lipe, res
ident of Americas, formerly manager
of the Macon team in the South Attain
tic league. Mr. Lipe is accredited with
playing in every game for seven con-
secutive years by the teams he was
playing with. In all this time the
Americas man lost only one innins,
and that one was because he was put
cut of the game in the eighth inning.

MACON MILITARY AND DRUM
CORPS SPECIAL TO CARRY
CROWD TO INAUGURATION

A widespread interest is being man
ifested in the special train which will
be operated from Macon to Washing
ton, leaving Macon at 1000 a. m.
March 1, via Central of Georgia rail-
way, and Seaboard Air Line railway.
This train will consist of electrical
ly lighted Pullman sleeping cars and
dining car, and in addition to the
Macon military companies, the Macon
Drum and Bugle Corps and the Sons
of Veterans, many representative men
and women from middle, South and
Southwest Georgia, will join the party
and witness the inaugural ceremonies
which make Woodrow Wilson presi-
dent
The train is expected to arrive in
Washington at 1000 a. m. March .,
passing Atlanta, Raleigh, Richmond,
Fredericksburg, and into Washington
along the banks of the historic Poto-
mac river.
Arrangements will probably be made
for the members of the National Guard,
the Drum Corps and other organiza-
tons to pay their respects to the gov
ernors of North Carolina and Vir-
ginia as Raleigh and Richmond are
passed.
Very low fares for individuals with
liberal stop-over privileges, and also
party fares for twenty-five or more
on one ticket have been authorized
from practically all points.
Detailed information may be secured
by applying to your nearest agent.
Reservations on the big special train
may be secured by communicating di-
rectly, or through your agent, with
John w. Blount, district passenger
agent, Central of Georgia railway,

A NARROW IDEA OF LABOR

The socialist vote now falls but
little short of being the greatest ever
cast for minor party in this country
being only ten per cent below that
poIled by the Populists in 1892. How
ever much of it may be a mere pro
test vote-cast by those who are not
Socialists but cared neither for Will
son nor Rooseyelt-the party, like
any other, is entitled to be accepted
on the face of returns.
AS the Socialists grow in voting
strength we wish, on the whole, they
could be Differentiated and less big
oted Through their literature in this
country runs an intolerant and ex-
cessively narrow-minded note. Too
much they use the word labor" as
though it meant only manual or in
dustrial wage-earning labor, or as
though that were the only kind of la
Dor entitled to any consideration.
When they say labor creates wealth
and is entitled to the product, they
are on impregnable ground-if they
mean all labor If they mean only
manual and earning factory la
Dor, any tolerably read high school,
boy can cut the ground from under
their feet. 1t would be more nearly
correct to say that ideas create
wealth. The Socialist party claims e
be the grand instrument for uplifting
the proletariat, and that party itself
is simply an idea. Karl Marx once
essayed manual and clerical labor
and was of so little use in it that he
failed to hold his Saturday
Evening Post.

SHOULD CLEAN
OFF CROSSINGS

People living in Americas and COM
PEELED to use the streets where they
cross in the districts where traffic is
heavy are complaining because of the
heavy mud that makes some of these
crossings almost impossible. ParticU-
larly is this true with respect to the
crossings at the corner of Church and
Lee streets and Lee and Taylor streets.
The city officials should come to the
rescue today of poor pedestrians who
must founder around in the mud at
these corners, as there is no possibility
of swimming in mud-only of getting
stuck up with the especially sticky
brand of mud that is generated at
these crossings in bad weather.
The people of the city will be CRATE
full for this relief. Let it come as soon
as it may. 1t is very strong argu-
'nent in favor of the paving of Lee and
Taylor streets. That would make con,
ditions still better. Il

TRUE SUCCESS is
TO HAVE CREATED
The Entire World is Our
Workshop

To have created is the only true
form of success. 1t is the only form Ct
success in which absolutely every man
and woman may share This has al
ways been true, but only the philoso-
piers have realized it. Now the world
has come to place in its career where
it is forced to see things as they are.
And as soon as we all see that to create
is the finest thing in life, the secret OF
peace on earth will be ours.
To have money is not to have sue
ceeded. One may inherit money. That
is mere chance; an accident of birth
Cne may steal money That is con-
fession of failure and an effort to con-
ceal it, both in one! One may become
rich through hard work. But that is
not a true emblem of success for the
world, because only a minority of men
can possibly become rich. Nobody is
rich unless he has more than most
other people have. SO, if money means
success this world is a cruel joke, A
place where majority of people are
doomed to fail, beyond any effort TO
save themselves. Are we not all fools,
IT We tolerate the blind notion that
money means success? Is she not Il
badly misled mother who allows her
children to grow up looking upon
money as the sign of success?
But to create! The CHASTITY joke Of
every one striving to be rich where On
ly a few can be, becomes a golden real
ity of common sense when we make
creation the badge of success. Every
human being may become the creator
of some useful or beautiful article.

KEPT BUSY
EXPLAINING
Duties Of the Assistant in
XylOtODy

Washington, D. c., Feb. 3.-Haying
sent out an appeal for some one to
pass an examination for the position of
assistant in xylotomy in the forest serg-
ice, the civil service commission now
wishes it had not. Ever since the
call for patriot who would bring to
the job the qualifications for a COL
Iege professor and consent to ex-
change his learning for a government
salary of $1,000 year, the commits
sioners have been busy explaining the
meaning of the term. When the Of
flee opened today, d forbidding look
ing visitor was awaiting the CHIEF
clerk of the commission.
Say bo," said the stranger, I'm
a carpenter, an a guy gimme the
bunch that you wanted a sillytommy.
Here l am, the guy told me it had
something to do with wood work."
The chief clerk exlained that UNI
der the examination the aspirant
would have to elucidate many scie1-
tifc problems, possess a university
training, a knowledge of botany and
a complete mastery of the German
language.
"What* shouted the applicant,
making for the door, "all dat for 1925
day!"
The clerical force spent hours ex
planning to callers the meaning of the
term. The word was not be found in
the dictionary.

THE BLUE AND GRAY AT GET.
TYSBURG.

There has been general commenda-
ton in the North of the decision Of
the Gettysburg celebration commits
sion against barring gray uniforms
and Confederate battle flags from the
reunion in commemoration of the fiji
tieth anniversary of the memorable
struggle. This decision was brought
about by a resolution offered by New
Jerseys representative, providing
that there should be no uniforms or
battle flags except those of the United
States and the National Guard. Nat
urally, this proposal was objected TO
by the representatives of the South
ern States, and their protest was
backed by Northern commissioners
with such effect that the resolution
was withdrawn.
Governor Tener took the occasion
to say that the people of Pennsylvania
do not care what uniforms the old
fighters wear, and that all will be
welcome when they come to the re-
union next July In approving the
statement of the governor, the Pitts
burg Chronicle-Telegraph says: In
deed, the great gathering of veterans
would be lacking in the picturesque if
the Confederate uniforms were bar
red, as Grand Army men will be
there in blue attire, and it is fitting
that the Southern veterans should be
clad in the gray so dear to Their
hearts"
1t is an interesting fact that on the
day the Gettysburg commission made
it's decision at a meeting in Philadel-
phia, General Robert E. Lee and JEFF
ferson Davis were eulogized by that
stalwart Republican, Uncle joe
Cannon, on the floor of the House az
Representatives at Washington. The
truth is, there is no animosity any
where in the country because of the
Civil War, as has been shown by the
hearty and sincere welcome of North
ern veterans when they visit South
ern cities, and will be shown when
the gray-clad veterans of the South
attend the Gettysburg reunion, where
the most momentous battle in the ma
TONS history was fought

THE HOBO AND THE NATION

While one may be pardoned for fail
ing to scan with too great seriousness
the credentials of the delegates to
the so-called hobo convention" there
is a real basis for much of what their
advance agent, jeff Davis, or their
first sponsor, James Eads Howe, has
to say of the wandering occasional
workers"
1t comes with i'll grace for a peo-
pie whose existence began with the
wandering spirit of their forefathers,
to complain of those among them
from whom the fixed and settled state
of modern time has not served to
crush out the yearning for the open
road and the strang places.

The wanderer who wanders in So
briefly, with trade or skilled KNOW
edge ready for use, will not often
have to worry for lack of opportunity
to work when the working spirit
moves him-which is not too often.
Of such were the journeymen of the
ancient guilds.
1t would be, perhaps, a goodly
thing, did the federal government or
the various states supply public WORK
at minimum living wage for all the
wanderers. If this were done, either
our pleasant Southland would hav.
far-reaching good roads or the winter
conventions of the wanderers, those
informal and those graced with
Messrs. Davis and Howe, would cease
to be held.
But there is this to remember:
There is real work to do, with a god

man in all this land, if he will searcn

THOMAS FARMERS ARE
INTERESTED in WORK
OF State Agricultural College
Extension

Thomasville, Ga, Feb 3.-Much in
terest has been shown by the farmers
of this county in the State College of
Agriculture's extension school, which
was in session here last week, and
many of them were in attendance to
get the benefit of the expert knowledge
of those in charge
The school was opened by Thomas
Davis, president of the Thomas County
Farmers Institute, who made short in
troductory remarks, showing the OBJ
ject of these instructions to the farm
ers of the state
Among those giving lectures and the
subjects of their talks were T. E. Tur-
lington, adjunct professor of agrono
my, who lectured on Soil Fertility '
Lime" Crop Rotations" and Coop
erative Buying and Marketing" j.
William Hart, professor on dairying,
lectured on Butter Making on the
Farm" Feeding Farm Animals" "The
Care of Dairy Cattle and THE Cattle
Tick; Prof G. w. Firor, secretary OF
extension department, lectured on
Sprays and Spraying" Peach Gull
ture" and Vegetable Gardening;
J. D. oliver, district agent, lectured on
Concrete Examples of Farm Demon
stration Work"
Much credit for the success of the
school here is due to j. A. Christian,
who is in charge of the demonstration
work for this county. Mr.. Christian re-
Gently returned from Athens, where he
attended these meetings, and he was
anxious for the farmers in Thomas
counto to have an opportunity to learn
the things that he did while he was
there, so he worked the matter up
