REMAINING THE SENATE.

| RE MAkiNG TIE OENHi &
Georgians can well afford to folloY
Ethe plansoutlined in the meeting Of
legislators in Cordele last Thursday
which provides for re-arranging the
state so as to make it regularly three

end to the other, both north and south.
1t is more than probable that the leg
islature will have opportunity to de-
eide the matter of making the change
AT the summer session of 1917
Speaking plainly, south Georgia is
entitled to the representation which
the new plan allows, and all other
portions of the state are entitled to-
tie enlarged representation which the
proposed change may give. If the
Georgia senate should be increased to-
Twice the size of its present working
body, the effect would be to make it
easier for that body to transact bus
iress and it would make it less easy
for corrupt Legislation to get a hear
Ing. Adding few members to the
upper house will be well worth the
money Spent for the extra represen-
teton.
Giving south Georgia what it should
lave means giving the other sections
Of the state what they should
Lave. No section is left out
and no section ought to raise an objec-
on. If south Georgia and middle
Georgia get this plan through, they

Do you know how easy it is to re-

Simply get an ounce of carpol, ex-
ira strong, from your druggist, and
few applications should show you how
easy it is to rid yourself OF freckles
and get a beautiful complexion. The
sun and winds this month have a
strong tendency to bring out freckles.
and as a result more carpol is sold IN
these months. Be sure to ask for the
extra strong, as this is sold under
guarantee of money back if it fails to
remove the freckles-Capol Labora-

mean jealousies trying to keep the
other congregations from enjoying
GOOD music. There are enough
good musicians, both vocal and intsru-
rental, to provide splendid music for
the Sunday services at all the church
es. 1t is so very important to have
good music that Mrs. Highbrow should
help to provide good programs at all
the services Then she would not have
'time to be jealous Of the other choir

COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP.

COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP.
1t ought to be no mans purpose to
live life of jealousy and hatred. for
his business competitor and yet it is
so easy to do that What a fearful
cost such a practice becomes among
business men Of the community.
In their social affairs, in their clubs
and among their neighbors women can
devour each other, talk about each
other and teach each other to shreds.
In their church affairs they can
scratch out the eyes of aspiring rivals
and their struggles never hurt the
business advancement of the commun-
jty. OF course their battles do harm
in their way, but all of them cannot do
one little bit of the harm that few
business men can do fighting each
other over the commercial affairs of
tia community
Henry Van Dyke says there is lof-
tier ambition than merely to stand
high in the world. 1t is to stoop down
and lift mankind little higher. What
a time we have in our scramble for
the high places! How easy it is to
wreck and destroy the weaker bust
ness man in our mad desires to hold
the commanding position!
There are men of power in our bus
mess community who could make
themselves felt far beyond the bounds
of their own little world we're they
patiently at the deeds which strength
en- virtue and kindle hope in their fell
lows. All of US need that business
generosity which lends hand to
those who are trying to climb upward.
II we go forward ourselves we must
have the salt and the grit in our own
character that it takes to turn from
those unworthy of our cordial and
encouraging support, but it also takes
salt and grit to bring us to warm
hhndshake for the man who deserves
it. All of both sides of it come to us
in our every day business experience.
Non-fellowship brings in its wake
selfishness and narrowness. Not to
take an interest in the affairs OF our
neighbors, not to enthuse over the
things that are for the good of the
community in which we live and to
place before all things else the
thought of self is terrible condition
for man to find himself in.
Pity the individual who worships at
the shrine of selfishness. But more to
be pitied is he who cannot give his
acuuaintances the right to pursue their
own way in life without permitting it
to engender in his heart spirit of in
difference if not of actual hate. Self
ishness and clannishness are two evils
men should avoid as they would pes
thence. For selfshness can kill by
shriveling the heart, while clannish-
ness destroys by narrowing the vision
and sitting the ability to see further
than ones own nose.
Every man who really loves his city
can have but one idea about it, That
is that he wants to see il grow and
develop He wishes it to progress in
a business way and in other ways
that work for good. And the only way
that this can be brought about is
through fellowship and through efforts
to aid the other fellow" in what he
is trying to accomplish.
We are mighty proud of that new
bankruptcy district and we are glad

Lemons Beautify!
Make Quarter Pint
of Lotion, Cheap

Here is told how to prepare an
inexpensive lemon lotion which can
be used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness, softness, wilderness
and beauty.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white makes
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to
strain the lemon juice through fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for mon
tbs. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sal
lowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and beau
tifier.
Just try it. Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
~ fragrant lemon lotion and mas
sage it daily into the face, neck arms
and hands, and see for yourself
