ways been open and of high order.
So often has the writer seen him
wave his hand or speak cordially to
the woodhaulers who would come to
Cedartown with their yoke of oxen
or one-mule team. One afternoon,
especially, the writer will never for
get when a group of young ladies and
gentlemen were standing on the side
walk, when "Bill'' Harris raised his
hat to a "one-gallus" woodhauler.
The company all turned to see the
individual spoken to by Mr.. Harris.
One of the companions referred to 1t
and Mr.. Harris replied II never al
low anyone to be more polite to me
than I am to them" :,
William j. Harris has made his
triumphs and won his larger fields on
his merit and personal fitness alone
1t is the man at last who succeeds,
never the official The official reaps
.ha honors and receives the plaudits
Of his friends, but the individual at
last is the secret of success in all re-
Iations of life Much has been said
in the newspapers about the rapid and
brilliant rise in public life Of this
Georgian, his friends have enjoyed
his recognition and promotion with
great personal interest. To those
who do not know him personally and
who have not enjoyed c1oseness
with the man, this article is intended
in a way to convey a correct impress
sion of the man himself and of those
characteristics that have made him
what he is in the public vision.
Whether one meets him on the side
walk or shakes his hand in big poll
teal gathering or comes in contact
with him in an official capacity, his
friends know that he Is the same
"Bilf' Harris at all times and under
all circumstances.
Sympathetic, considerable and genial,
he is intensely human and loves dear
ly to aid everyone who has laudablel
purpose to advance in life and work
out a career of usefulness. He be-
lieves that everyone who makes good
is the individual at last worth while,
and the lesson of his life, from mod
est environment and good family
blood, affords splendid object lesson
to every young man in Georgia to
rise to the highest position of trust
and real usefulness to his country. It'll
should be an inspiration to every
country boy who longs for worthy
career and who is striving for the
open door to opportunity for greater
usefulness and service to his fellows.
The sturdy youth in the many towns
and country districts of our state, with
a world-vision now before US all, can
find no more impressive view in public
life than the career of this Georgian,
now before the national eye. To be!
recognized everywhere as enjoying al
closeness and an honorable intimacy
with President Wilson is an accomp-
lishment creditable to any of a great
number of men and to rise from a.
members of the senate of sovereign
state to position of recognized prom
irence and confidence with the head Of
4 great nation, is an honor worthy
OF the best blood and brains of any
people.

.SCHWAB MAY SPEED
WORK ON SHIPYARD
At JONES' POINT

Work on the Alexandria shIpyard
of Charles W. Morse is to be speeded
up. Charles n. Schwab. director gem
eral OF the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton and Vice President PieB are con-
sidefing plans to rush the work. after
a detailed inspection OF the plant on
Jones' Point.
The Morse Company has asked for
aid in getting the plant completed and
under way. and this may be given by
the Fleet Corporation. Two concrete
ship ways have been practically COM
pleted, and two more are under con-
struction. Structural iron work on
the big iron and concrete shop and
loft building has been completed. and
thousands OF piles driven to furnish .
foundation for cranes and other equip
ment. II will be several weeks at least
before keels can be laid for the big
steel ships to be built at this yard.
When the Morse Company started
its plant there was no housing prob
lem or labor shortage in Alexandria
Since that time, however, the increase
in Government work there and the es-
Enlistment OF a number OF war in
dustrIes has brought a situation de-
clared to be acute, and difficulty 10
being experienced in securing and
housing the necessary structural and
ship workers.
The fact that Director General
Schwab is giving the Alexandria yard
his personal attention is believed to
presage a big increase in the work
there. The plant when completed will
be able to turn out steel steamers OF
the larger type. that are being sought
by tho shipping board. When the
actual work OF RhipbuildinE begins
Alexandria will have one OF the major
shipbuilding centers OF the country.
Two plants there are already turning
out submarine chasers at a rapid rate.
The Morse yard was the first in the
country visited by Director General
Schwab after he was called into the
Government service to take charge Of
and speed up the ship construction
program.

Indications are that when the bill

in the fact that there are many diff
