Ride The Horse That Threw You.

The man who gives up on the first
down never gets anywhere. He ad-
mits fear of the difficult and lack
of confidence in himself-two ele-
ments present in every human fail
ure.
To have courage to mount again
knowing the risk, but better prepar-
ed to meet it, is half way to sue
cessful accomplishment.
1t isn't mastering the horse that
really counts; it is the strengthened
will power of the winner up" and
the inward Joy of having accom-
plished the undertaking in spite OF
all opposition.
What goes up must come down
but no one need stay down.
Ride the horse that threw you.

LOCAL PEOPLE MUCH INTERESTED IN SUIT Martin to Seek to Recover $40,000 From Smith
 and Purifoy

The intention of the attorney general to bring suit against c. B. Smith and John Purifoy. formerly state auditor and treasurer, respectively. and against
 their bondsmen for the purpose of re- covering $40 000 alleged to have been paid without warrant of law to special attorneys employed during the adminis-
 tration of ex-Governor O'Neal, created great deal of interest in Birmingham yesterday.
 The attorneys to whom this money
 was paid were R. B. Evans of Greens
 boro, special counsel to the governor:
 R. E. Steiner, who represented the state in the investigation into the convict de-
 partment scandal; Daniel Troy. who served in the collection of franchise taxes. and others. The purposed pro- cess is due to the fact that the bill. en- , acted by the legislature tn 1911, under which special counsel was employed,
 was declared by the supreme court to
 be unconstitutional on the ground that whereas the bill dealt with two sub jects, only one was referred to ip the
 caption
 The suit against the former officials Is based on a technical point of law and does not involve moral turl itude The result is awaited with general inter-
 est. Ex Governor ONeal was not in Rir-
 mingham yesterday, but the facts were related by his son and private secre- tary, Kirkman ONeal.

\. |. GW|N TALKS IN
 SMALL INDUSTRIES Tells Why His Plant Refused
 to Leave Gadsden THE COST OF LABOR Would Have Had to Pay s20O a Day More Here-How Gadsden Attracts Plants by Subscribing Stock
 and Personally Boosting
THE COST OF LABOR

H b. Gwin, general manager of the l Southern Manufacturing company of Gadsden, was in Birmingham yesterday en route to Kauton as one of the guests of the Kaul Lumber company and ex- pressed some views on small industries nnthe might be valuable to the people of Birmingham.
 MT. Gwin operates a woodworking and finishing plant in Gadsden, employing 100 men, and has just placed his plant on 1119-hour per day basis because he is
 almost swamped with business MT. Gwin's views on small industries are of special value because when his Gadsden plant burned two years ago a Birmingham concern offered to take s1O,ooo worth of stock in his company and buy his entire output from year to year if he would move the plant to Birmingham. T couldn't afford to come to Bir- mingham.' said MT. Gwin in explanation. My labor in Gadsden costs me 25 and 30 cents an hour. If I were in Birming- ham l would have to pay a union scale of 45 cents an hour. And the labor is not skilled. The men are simply machine tenders and require little training. On a 10-hour day with a plant working 100 men difference of 20 cents an hour means $200 a day.
 Local Advantages Offset Birmingham has some advantage of Gadsden in freight rates and facilities, but our saving in labor costs much more than makes up for 1t. Our economical opera ations enable us to land contracts as fast as we can execute them. We spe- calize in cotton mill construction and are supplying material now for big mills all the way from North Carolina to Missis- sppl.
 "Gadsden appreciates small industries and we are doing everything we can to get them. We will help finance them, furnishing 10 per cent of the necessary capital to get these industries. This 10 per cent is subscribed by our business men and when a plant comes every man who has a dollars worth of stock in it becomes a personal booster and has selfish reason for wanting to see that plant prosper
 Save on Freight Tn our particular business Gadsden also saves us some money because consid- erable part of our lumber is hauled in by wagon from small mills in the noun tains and we save freight on this lumber. Tn addition to sashes, doors and gem eral finished woodwork, we take con tracts for furnishing material for entire cotton mills and cotton mill towns. We handle S25,O00 worth of window glass alone every year.
 You will probably recall that we fur
 nished the material for the big mill at Fairfield at the time that was being built"
 MT. Gwin returned to Gadsden last night.
