TREADING THE BEATEN PATH
Mistake Made by Many Is to Think
They Have Discovered All Things
Along the Route.

Most of us grow weary at times OF
what we call the beaten path. We
have trod it so often that we imagine
we know its mileposts by heart and
believe that with eyes and ears closed
TO what is going on about us we could
tell in a moment our whereabouts.
This may be true to a degree. but
such intuition is not given to every
one, and sometimes even to those who
really think they have explored all the
byways OF the great path of life many
things are yet undiscovered 1t all
really is question OF our own abil-
ity to appreciate and use to our ad-
vantage such conditions as influence
our individual lives. or course IL we
have no desire beyond attaining q
purely worldly success we limit our
possibilities of enjoying life to its
highest degree, because material sue
cess Is not everything In this world.
II Is very good, to be sure and very
satisfying In a way, but even those
who can bear personal testimony to
its many advantages are the first to
admit that wealth and high worldly
position do not comprise the sum total
Of happiness. We must have an inner
life, consciousness OF the existence
Of something better and higher than
the world affords, before we can
really deem ourselves wholly blessed
And that realization is often easier
obtained by the man who has little or
nothing Of the worlds blessings than
by his more fortunate brothers who
bask in its smiles.

men to make it appear that temper
ance men hold this position This is
done to make prohibitionsists appear
silly and unreasonable. It Is done
to throw contempt on them. Mind,
while you cannot legislate men into
sobriety, YOU can legislate them into
drunkards; and that is what this
government has been doing for many
years; that is to say. it has permitted
environment favorable to and con-
ducive to drunkenness by law for
the sake Of little pitiable revenue.
The courts. both state and United
States supreme. have denounced the

Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
According to The Sartorial Art
Journal, the man of fashion the COM
ing season will be slender, leggy,

ic-seeming body"
Fat men with fashionable ten
dencies will now proceed to fast.
Short-legged men will have their
legs stretched. AS for the rest. the
tailors can take care Of it.
A man unduly small above the
equator. or a man with too slender

cutting and padding The same pro-
cess can make the most anem:c gen
tleman look-from a distance at
least-like a tennis champion or a
star halfback.
There is much virtue in that
phrase, "athletic-seeming body"
Just leave it to your tailor.
And yet, in the name even OF sar-
torial art, why must we be all alike?
Have the tailors no more imagination
and individuality than the fiction

Despite the handicap, II - made

Not Taking the Enemy's Advice.
Woodruff, S. C.
Greenwood Journal.

GREENWOOD journal.
Any fool knows that it is never
wise to take the advice of the enemy
or OF pretended friend. The ad-
vice Of the latter is TO, be especially
avoided, and it will be unless he sue
ceeds in thoroughly deceiving those
whom he attempts to advise.
Just now prohibitionists are get
ting a lot of advice from some folks
who pretend to be friends to the
cause, but we imagine that they have
discernment enough to know what
these people are after and to give
them the consideration that they de-
serve. For example, the advice is
given to look after the soft drink
Snvil which the folks who are hand
.ng it out declare is not only injur-
ing men physically, but it is causing
great and needless waste of money.
This may be true, but one thing at
time, gentlemen. No use in your
effort to turn attention from the
main issue.
And the avowed enemy is telling
us what we are to do for law en-
forcement. mad reminding us Of the
great responsibility that will rest
upon prohibitionists in case they
carry the election This is euuiva
lent to saying the people who are
opposed to prohibition can not be
counted on to help enforce the law.
This is terrible arraignment, but
let it be known that it is made by
the liquor crowd against them
selves.
