SMALL BOY WILL SERVE

Following Alleged Theft OF
Money Recently

Judge W. NJ. Harper heard yeste"-
day morning the sad story OF young
lad here, boy of ten or eleven years
only, but who seems to be inclined 10
evil ways, which his parents are IN
able to check, though they have bent
every enegry to that end. Yesterday
the boy was brought before Judge HaT-
per for the alleged theft of $40 from
the till of a local merchant. After
consultation with the officers and IA
theirs of the incorrigible lad, Judge
Harper expressed the opinion that a
term in the juvenile reformatory at
Milledgeville would be the best dispo-
sition of the case, and the boy will
doubtless be sent there.

ments are run efficiently by men who
stick to their jobs. Nations are kept
right in critical moments, not by
flashes of inspiration, but by steady
attention to business.
The glamour about craftsmanship is
misleading. Because a man holds Z
night Office it doesn't follow that there
5 anything in his methods Leyond the
reach of the average mind-that he
has mysterious ways of doing great
things known only to the elect.
When all is said and done it reduces
itself to the honely methods Of bust
ness of everyday life-to the old rules
of attention, industry and common
sense that are the common property
of men--to the familiar virtues that
we are too apt to depreciate.
The men who do great things stick
to the job more closely than their fell
lows. They concentrate their efforts
more resolutely on the most importan:
thing at hand. They are more deter
mined not to be discouraged or dis
tracted from the main point. That IL
all--and that is greatness.
What would this country have been
without the sturdy common sense of
George Washington, without Jeffer-

good intentions of the plain MAJ,
without the resolute patience of Abra-
ham Lincoln?

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.--
Especial. 1.-The presidents decision to
remain at his post of duty, and not to
engage in political speech-making dur
ing the fall campaign, as indicated in
his letter to Hon. F. E. Doremus, tn7
chairman of the Congressional Cam
paign committee, seems to have de-
lighted everyone. The editorial appr0-
val of the presidents decision is as
strong in Bull Moose and Republican
as in Democratic papers. The sympa-
thies of the American people are with
the president who has devoted most
strenuous year and a half to constant
performance of duty. Editorial com
ment given herewith, tells its own
story:
Back to the HOmely Virtues.
My job, / now know can be done
best only if devote my whole thought
and attention to it and think of moth
ing but the duties of the hour. l am
not at liberty, and shall not be, so far
as 1 can now see, to turn away from
those duties to undertake any kind of
pOlitical canvass. "-President Wilson.
This extract from President WILL
sons letter to Congressman Doremus,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sinnal Campaign committee, is strik-
ing illustration of the high importance
of homely, familiar virtues.
At this critical moment the duty
which HES nearest to the president of
the United States is that which lies
nearest to most of US all the days IF
our life-that of attending carefully
and conscientiously to the business
eonfided to us.

to purchase a bale of cotton for his
company. This order has gone out 70
every branch of the company n Dixie
1t means that the gasoline concern will
take 1000 bales off the market at II

the market but manufacturing col

Already the plan has helped boost

the neighborhood of 9 cents. Within
few weeks if present indications hold
good, cotton will be bringing a price
that will enable the farmers to market
their crop at profit.
