Beauty Or Brains.

A photographer in New York won prize
Of $500 for the photograph of, beautiful
girl. Many artists have raved over the clas-
sic beauty Of this girls features, but the
young lady herself has no illusions as to the
power of mere beauty. Something besides
prettiness is necessary to achieve success
she said recently. "If | had my choice
between being the prettiest girl in America
and the most talented girl I would unhesi-
tatingly choose the latter Through which
remark it becomes evident that the subject
Of the prize photographer possesses uncom-
mon good sense, as well as uncommon good
looks.
Eyes, of course she is pretty-but she's
an awful firtw remarked a certain man Of
a young lady who felt that good looks ex-
cused her from any attempt at intelligent
conversation
Portraits Of women who, as history tells
us, have ruled the world by their charm
and swayed the destinies Of empires reveal
the fact that they have rarely been beautiful
in the accepted sense Of that term. Cleo
patra and Mary of Scotland, as well as plenty
Of more modern charmers, have not been
women whose chief appeal was to the eye.
They have influenced their times through the
keenness Of their minds, their personal mag
netism, and their power of being agreeable.
A pretty face is good possession, as far as
it goes, but it is a sad mistake to try to make
it go the whole distance.

OUR OLD FRIEND BILL.

From the Auburn (Ga.J Gazette
When we walked into the train the other
morning there sat one of the worlds great
men. The conductor passed down the aisle
and called attention to his distinguished
passenger. Everybody knew him, though
not one on the train had ever met him per-
haps. The man was William Jennings Bry-
an, three times candidate for president, for
mer secretary of state in Wilson's cabinet
perhaps the greatest living orator, and a
man known throughout the world. lie was
not in the smoker putting smoke into his
neighbours face, neither was he chewing to-
bacco and splitting all over the floor There
was no smell of tobacco or strong drink
about him nor was there any vulgar or pro-
fame words coming from his lips He is
clean in speech and habits, and there is
nothing little about him.

Don'f Worry.
From the Macon News.

Some very interesting advice was recently
given by the public health service at Wash
ington regarding worry" AS is well
known, worry takes the joy out of life for
any man or woman giving place to it,
The government bulletin says:
So far as is known, no bird ever tried
to build more nests than its neighbor.
No fox ever fretted because he had
only one hole in which to hide No
squirrel ever died of anxiety lest he
should not lay by enough nuts for two
winters instead of for one, and no dog
ever lost any sleep over the fact that
he did not have enough bones laid aside
for his declining years.
So, after ALL it appears that man is about
the only animal that worries

Congratulations to one and all of the
county officers of Terrell who took the oath
Of Office and were installed Monday All of
them are proficient in service, for they have
served before and know their work 1t is
the fate of public life that in it men come
and go. Public opinion and preference shift
like the wind In one year one man, one
group Of men, is preferred by the people.
In another year another man, another group
of men, is preferred. But the people of
Terrell county ought to be grateful that
through all the years they have had worthy
and competent men in their court house to
serve them.

The farmers of Terrell county begin the
New Year, perhaps, in more substantial con-

or three years they have been getting ready
for the coming of the boil weeyil, and their
smokehouses, cribs and barns are filed with
meat, corn, hay, peanuts and velvet beans,
besides many have had large quantities of
these products to sell Less cotton win be
planted and grown in the county than ever
before, but instead of being cause for dis
couragement it will mean greater prosperity

After carefully reading it the Lavonia
Times is convinced that the new compulsory
school attendance law, which went into eff
feet Monday of this week. is ''more help to
keep children out of school than it is to
get them in school, Under the excuses
enumerated in the act as valid, thinks our
contemporary, more appropriate title for
the law would be Optional Attendance Bill. Z
To say the least of it, there is very little
IN the law that should worry those who are
opposed to the principle of compulsory edu-
cation.

The Rawlings Boys.

The recommendation of the Georgia
prison commission that a parole be
granted Milton Rawlings probably
brings to a close one of the most re-
markabIe chapters in the criminal an
! mails of South Georgia. j. G. Rawlings
I and his three sons, Milton, Jesse, and
Leonard, were convicted In L0wndes
county Of the murder Of two Carter
children. The father, Jesse and Mil
ton were sentenced to hang, and Leon
ard, on account of his youth, received
life sentence. Old man Rawlings was
executed, but the sentence of the two
boys was committed to life imprison-
ment. Gov. Smith pardoned Jesse and
Leonard, and Milton has served ten
wears Of fiii his sentence. The boys are
said to have made model prisoners. A
most remarkable feature of this re-
markable case was that the only
man hung for the crime was in
Valdosta at the time it was COM
mitted. There was always an opin-
in many minds that old man
Rawlings did not plot to have his boys
do the deed He was man of violent
temper, and while he might have COM
mitted the crime himself he was not
man to delegate such task to another,
or to plot murder for days beforehand.
Triton Gazette.
If our recollection is not at fault the ne
gro Moore, who was implicated in the Car
ter murder and is said to have fred the
fatal shot, was also hanged. Almost the
last words of the elder Rawlings was a
declaration of the innocence of his boys,
and plea that they be saved. Old man
Rawlings was rugged character, with a
strong mind and will and determination
that brooked neither opposition nor inter-
ference, and with less violent temper
would have been leader of men and a
force in his community. It is the belief of
most people that the boys, who were in the
field early next morning blowing as if
nothing had happened, had no connection
with the crime, and of others that if they
were participants in the murder they, on
account of their tender years, were infu-
enced by their father and were not response
bic for their act. Jesse and Willard are now
residents of Coffee county, industrious and
manly young men with promising futures.
Milton, during his ten years of service, has
been model prisoner, and there is every
reason to believe that he, too, will make a
useful citizen if the governor approves the
recommendation of the prison commits
sion that he be paroled The parole law
was enacted for the benefit of prisoners of
MS kind-those who have the promise Of
making good citizens if given an oppor-
unity.

THE BLESSED BOIL wEEvu

From the Valdosta Times.
With few mills to crush the oil ont IF
peanuts, feed-grinding mills to use up the

ing houses to pay cash for the hogs and
