Senator a Big Thing.

United States Senator is big office
and big man should fill it. In dig
nifty and honor it stands next to the
presidency. Its Importance to the peo-
pie Of the United States is great. 1t has
been the custom to fill this Office with
the ablest men. To measure up to the
requirements of the high Office, it takes
years of training, no boy ought to fill
this official station. No weakling ought
to be even considered for the place.
The Senate is the measuring pot of
great men, and all the states send their
ablest men there The present gov
ernor of Georgia is senatorial timber.
He towers like great tree over sap
lings. In ability, experience and char
acter, he is the man. No factional CO.
terie, no political lineup back of Jack
Slaton. He is toting his own skillet
and going to win. He is son of Mer-
iwether of whom the old county is
proud.-Meriwether Vindicator.

HOLDING ON

Let me have your jewels before you
take the ether, madam"
The head nurse spoke with heg ac-
customed authority.
"The only jewel l have" replied the
patient, lis one that l must keep"
She held up her left hand, AMI
showed a tiny gold cross tied by
ribbon bout the palm. Il always keen
this to hold on by"
The owman had been operated on
again and again, as her disease pro
crossed. Yet she had never lost he:
courage or her patience. In the little
cross she had something to held on"
by.
That is what we all need in time o.
trial or temptation. The secret of all
effective resistance is comprised in
holding on" Severe trial, real temp
tation, almost always makes the head
swim and the heart sink. 1t is then
that We need something to which we
can cling So long as the pain or the
allurement do not overcome the
power of reason, there is no DANCE.
Neither hurt nor forbidden pleasure
has really taken hold. But when temp
tation becomes so strong that it can
make evil look like good and good like
evil then we must have help.
There are many men who feel the
terrible temptation to drink and yet
come home sober, simply because they
keep before their minds the faces OF
their children. There is many a boy
in the great cities who manages to
keep honest and undefiled, amid dis
honest and unclean surroundings, be-

Wilson'S Great Victory
(Kansas City Starr

thanSas City STAR
The first great success of President
Wilson's foreign policy has been won.
Huerta has been forced out and that
without involving the United States in
war. You may think what you like
about the Wilson diplomacy. You may
sheer at it as "amateurish." You may
call the outcome lucky accident,
and all that. The fact remains that
government based on assassination
has been discredited. Huerta has
been compelled to resign. The United
States has not had to waste America /
lives in protracted war of interven-
4ion. What Mr.. Wilson set out to do
has been splendidly accomplish. il
is the presidents victory.

than one. In the first place he is on
of the brainest men in Georgia-not

second place, he has appointed more

the minister a piece of paper.]"I have

This is what the minister read:

COUNT OF VEHICLES
SHOWS LITTLE USE
Of SOUTH { ROAD
Advisory Body of New
Bridge Takes Four Counts
to Determine Course of
Travel.

Four counts OF vehicles passing GER
tain points on their way to and from
the territory south Of Richmond have
been taken by the members OF the
advisory committee appointed by the
county commissioners recently to as
certain to certainty the best location
for the South side bridge.
Engineer Jack Mueller Of New
Castle, told the commissioners that
more than fifty per cent. of the
vehicles are automobiles. The close
ness of Christmas may have had some
effect on the amount and character OF
the travel, he said.
Counts were taken on r street at
the intersections of Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh streets. This was to deter
mine the value Of f street as a cross
street. 1t was found that ninety-five
per cent of the travel was north and
south travel and that only five per
cent was on f street
Counts from School.
Another test was taken from the
Joseph Moore school house. A man
was stationed in the school for day
to count the vehicles passing to and
from the Abingdon pike.
Mr.. Mueller said that the location
of livery stables, hitch racks, the
market house and the business houses
or banks which the farmers patronize
influences greatly the routes taken.
The counts have proved thus far that
f. street is not valuable street for
cross town travelling, but, the engineer
said. this does not mean that street
or any other south end street would
not become a we'll travelled street if a
south side bridge is built.
The report of the engineers OF the
county commissioners is being held
up by delays in making the foundation
tests. A Centerville firm was employ
ed to do the work but has failed to
move machinery TO the sites specified.
While the advisory committee and the
engineers are waiting for the results
of the foundation tests, other counts
of the travel will be taken.
