ATHLETIC NEWS.

The basket ball team lost its last
game of this season last Friday when
It met the Fitzgerald team on their
court Both teams played well, but
the larger boys were too much for
Cordele'5 light team. The shooting of
both teams was superb, the score be-
ing forty-eight to twenty-one. The
larger team kept the ball at their end
Of the court nearly all the time, but
when the Cordele BUNCH got the ball
there was something doing; our bunch
did not miss more than three chances
10 ring up a goal. The foul shooting
of Market and Taylor also featured,
each getting three goals out of five
shots. The game was a clean, hard
fought battle between very unmatched
teams. But the home boys did not
finch at the sight of the husky youths.
they just marched to their doom with
their heads up and prepared for the
worst. There is one thing about our
bunch that is credit to them, that is,
their spirit. have seen them loose
many games, but l have never seen
one lose his spirit.

to other people as they are to me.
A very interesting boy of Cordele
High is Glover Macarthur, who is a
typical high school boy, well rounded
in every respect.
He is witty and clever in his re-
marks, and excels in a keen sense of
humor. He always thinks twice be-
fore he speaks which probably ac-
counts for him not talking any more.
He is very deliberate about everything
he does and when called on for reel
tation arises and stands until every
body thinks he has either forgotten
his lesson or is trying to make it up,
and then he makes a brilliant recita-
ton. One might think from my de-
scription that Glovers motto is 1.-THE
more we talk the less we know" but
it is not by any means. During his
study periods Pm really afraid he
speaks twice before he thinks. But
then those irresistible girls! Miss
Moore is helping him overcome this
trouble however, and if she keeps him
in few more times possibly he will
overcome it altogether.
Glover is good at debating, as he is
in everything else and has helped tC
win quite a few debates. But l have
saved the best for the last. But l have
scented C. H. S. at the district meet
last year in defamation and won third
place. We are expecting to send him
again and feel sure that he will come
back with the medal.
He also stands a chance to win the
preliminary ready writer's contest and
if he does, we are sure he will reflect
honor on Cordele.
He has been called one OF the best
"all round" boys in high school, and
as such, has quite promising future

ing. A step toward the accomplish
ment of one is step toward the I'M
doing of the other and so both are
held back. But if all our ambitions
are one or lead toward the same end,
cur life will have unity and we will be
able to do something.
Every great man Of history has had
something that he strove for The
father of our country and the signers
Of the Declaration OF Independence
worked unselfishly for the independ-
ence of the colonies; CromwelPs aim
was to make England great and wor-
thy Of greatness; and so on down the
line. We may never attain the ideal
for which we strive but that should
not keep us from following our star for
"a mans reach should exceed his
grasp;
Else what's a heaven for?'
The foremost ambition of Moses was
to reach the promised land, but he was
only allowed to view it from a dis
lance. So it is with many of our ambi-
tons. We may never live to enjoy the
fulfllment of them, but our conscience
will be clear and we will have the
feeling of having done what we strove
for, for we will be able to see it at
a distance; and know that
"What I aspired to be,
And was not, comforts me:
A brute I might have been but
would not sink L the scale. -
In the same way we might do every
little thing. When you set out to do
a thing, do it. Don't put it aside and
start something else; but if it is pos
sible for you to do it today, then do it.
1t is better to do one thing well
than to start and leave unfinished a
hundred.

class? Some seem to think that it is
perfectly all right as long as the teach
er doesn't see them.
Finally, the most difficult tempta-
ton Of all is the temptation that
comes when final examinations arrive.
Many people have argued against final
examinations because of the tempta-
tons they bring. If boy or girl can
not resist that temptation, will he ev-
er be able to resist any temptation?
1t does seem awful to know that by
not answering one question, which the
girl or boy that sits in front of you
knows, you will fail. Why, may be if
you could see just one sentence, one
word, you would know the rest. Sure
~ it would not be wrong to look at that.
She doesn't care and nobody would
ever know it. We know how it is, for
we have been along the same paths,
and we also know that when a per-
son cheats, it is merely for the mark.
That mark leads them on and on. Two
months, or at least a year later, that
mark is forgotten, both by the pupil
and the teacher, but still that dishon-
est deed is registered against them
forever Why don't you, as someone
has said for you to do: when you are
tempted to do wrong, turn your atten-
ton fully and sympathetically on
what you are inclined to share out Of
sight"
We repeat this verse to you, so that
It may help you to believe that in the
long run Honesty is the best policy"
80 near is grandeur to our dust,
So close to God is man,
When duty whispers low: Thou must!
The youth replies: I can

"Tl4E ONE THING | DO"
BY Glover Macarthur.

Over century and half ago a
baby was born to poor Scotch farm
er; this baby grew up from a boy
gripping the plow-handle, into Scot
lands much loved poet, who gripped
the pen with more strength than ever
Scotchman had But there came a
time when this boy was to have the
chance to make himself great and
noble. His chances were bright and
promising, but before long this great
man began to sink into dissipation and
he died in the prime of his manhood.
The trouble with Robert Burns was
the same that binders many people to-
day, and that thing is lack of unity
of purpose.
In order to accomplish anything we
must strive toward it. We should
have some big ideal to follow; some
one thing that we strive for above all
others. A stick or a peg driven into
the ground with two points sharpened,
splits and accomplishes nothing. If
there are two conflicting aims in us
and we can not decide to give up
either, they will both amount to moth

PEACE OUTLOOK
 STRENGTHENING

A part of the weekly financial report by Henry Cleys X Co.,, of New York, for the week ending September l, says:
 Liquidation in the stock market has now continued with slight in- terruption for several weeks. This downward movement was based en- tirely upon disposition to discount price fixing; upon the injurious effects of an excessive profits tax, and upon the growing prospects of peace.
 It will be months, however, be- fore any treaty of peace can be signed, and months more before dis bandment is possible of the various armies, which meantime must be fec, clothed and equipped.
 Peace prospects are strengthen ing. The crumbling of Austria as a result of the splendid Italian vic tories is imminent. The Allies are also wearing down their opponents on the Western front; while Ger many seems unable to carry on any vigorous movement against Russia, except through intrigue. Germany is beaten but not broken. Pre- sumably her government will not yield, except to military defeat without or to political pressure within, which is steadily growing. President Wilson's answer to the Pope's peace proposals was magni- ficient spirit and sound in policy. It clarified the issue between Ger many and the Allies; so that every American can easily understand for what we are fighting.
