The champions OF amendment No.

The measure should be favored:
The lahorer h worthy OF his hire.
We moi only have the divine sanction
for this but IL is universally con-

Ii is the duty Of the members of the

Committee Calls For
Delinquent Taxes

The Purging Committee for the
City Primary met at the City Hall
Monday and sent out about 1877
supeonas to registered voters to
show cause why their names should
not be stricken from the voters
list. Most of these owe the street
tax and some are due the city per.
sonal property taxes. A few also
owe the taxes to the State and
County which will have to be paid
before they will be allowed to vote
at the coming election. The city as
well as the county will be several
dollars richer as a result of the in
vestigation.

Political Comments

The Herald is supporting Gov.
Slaton for the Senate for more
reasons than one. In the first
place he is one of the brainest
men in Georgia-not the explo-
sive kind. He is even tempered,
conservative and firm. In the
second place. he has appointed
more South Georgia men to office
than any OF er Governor.
Thirdly, we want peace and
Slaton is doing all he can to allay
facti0nalism. Nashville Herald.
When Gov. Slaton induced the
Legislature to save Georgia by
enacting the tax law he did the
greatest work any public man
has accomplished for the State
in half a century. -LaWrenceville

up some with his cards, and the
whole bunch are after him, but
Slaton is sure to be one of Geor-
gia's Senator's Waynesboro
Citizen.
For his efforts in standing by
the tax law Gov. Slaton deserves
the Senatorship. He and the
Legislature are proud of their
work and it is work to be proud
of.-Darien Gazette.
Jack Slaton is running as a
Georgian and not as citizen of
any particular section of the
State. Georgia as a whole is go
ing to send Slaton to the Senate.

rethsrlna horae In Mexico.

! Many people are familiar with the
deacon's horse in David Harum," that
stood without hitching," but ordinary
horses and kindred creatures are not
built in this way, and so it is necessary
to tie them to post, an iron ring in
the pavement or wall, or to a heavy
iron weight carried for the purpose.
Perhaps the most original method con-
ceivable for preventing steed from
wandering off is that adopted by the
street merchants Of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
says the Wide World. Here aOnkeys,
or "burros," as they are called, are
the usual beasts of burden. Occasion
ally their masters must leave them
alone to attend to business or indulge
in a few drinks and chat at some
corner cafe On these occasions the
owner simply ties up one leg of the
burro, thus most effectually discour-
aging any tendency to run away.

Obligations.

It Is pre-eminently in youth that the
desire to meet obligations may be
most firmly implanted and become a
permanent possession. Children are
quick to catch the spirit of those they
are with; they soon learn to value the
same things and to strive for them.
And the desire for a worthy object,
continually striven for and attained
grows into habit of the heart as sure
ly as any long-con'tinued process OF
thought grows into habit of the
mind, or any oft-repeated manual op'
eraticn grows into a habit of the hand.
And what habit can be so inestimable
to the individual or so valuable to So
ciety as that which leads men and We
men to meet every obligation as II
rises, gladly and speedily, with the
same satisfaction that every honest
man feels in paying his debts?
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1914-09-23

Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a
rotten boat; what can he do there but
by the very force Of his stroke expe-
dite the ruin Of his craft? Take care,
then, of the timbers of your boat, and
avoid all practices likely to introduce
either wet or dry rot among them.
And this is not to be accomplished by
desultory or intermittent efforts Of the
will, but by the formation of habits.
The will, no doubt, has sometimes to
put forth it's strength in order to
strangle or crush the special tempta-
ton. But the formation of right hab-
its is essential to your permanent Sc
curity. They diminish your chance Of
falling when assailed, and they aug
ment your chance of recovery when
overthruwn.-John Tyndall.

Applause In Court.

Mr.. Justice Scrutton recently i'm.
posed a fine of $25 upon a demonstra.
tive person who disturbed the pro-
ceedings of his court in London. This
course, though unusual, is by NO means
without precedent, nor indeed is 1t
unnecessary, since 1t Is obviously in
the interest Of justice that a court of
law should be a place where express
sions Of approval or disapproval can
not be permitted. Mr. Justice Cres-
we'll on one occasion thought 1t prop
er even to reprove a juror for ap-
plauding comment he had passed.
II dare say you meant it very kind
ly," he observed, "but, believe me, the
administration OF justice is in great
danger when applause in court be-
comes grateful to judges ear"
