has ever known, as one of the men
who are going to fix the destinies OF
nations of the future,-that was Hugh
Mcintosh who taught himself that he
could do things by making a success
of simple boxing match. That was
the man who soon knew" He is the
man who many years ago learned
! the meaning Of right now, he made
every moment count and did things
when other people wanted to know
how he was going to accomplish
something in role where he knew
nothing.
He did things other people said he
could not do. He moved right now! his
years counted as the world was try
ing to keep track of him. 1t is still on
his trail, wondering, wondering what
next he will do. Listen what he says:
1T doesn't matter what you tackle,
if you tackle it right now with fore
sight and common sense; that will
bring you out on top. The first money
1 made was ON a foresight" Is he
right about it? What do you think
Of Hugh Mcintosh?
There is only one time to do what
you have in mind to do, and that is
always and forever-right now. To-
morrow is sure to be too late. Say
right now the things you have wanted
to say,--take heart and hope and step
up higher.
| There is place for you. There is
work calling you. Qualify, now
right now! make your schooling
a. Cd
thorough. Work for it, work hard. The
day is coming when you will need it.
Move now and tomorrow you will be
directing the affairs of men.r4 The
| world il full of meaningless. drifting
people who call themselves men and
women, but they are out Of line and
do not know it. Go to the task, my
boy, go while it is called today. Put
yourself in tune with the Infinite, in
harmony with the onward movement
of things! Do it now,-right now, nay
boy!

OPPOSING pRoFlrEERLNe

Ohio State Journal; We must COM
mend Senator Pnrose for his stand
on the 'piTsofffeer matter. He IS con-
stantly accosted by men who want to
be saved by legislation from the dis
aster OF falling prices, and to all of
these applications he answers with
general epistle saying he will not do
anything to avert the effect of fall
ing prices. That is the true attitude.
Let them fall like the rain, on the
just and the unjust alike. To think
that the government should interfere
in cases of a disturbed market makes
room for a ridiculous event 1t should
not be thought of. The other day con-
gress appropriated $3,OOO0O0 tosteady
tue WllCdL IAlO plIIC uR
to 1926. The argument is behalf of
this course, that the war which was
on at the time, demanded that the
production of wheat be maintained,
and therefor the government should
offer a premium to prevent a disaster
The argument is strong one and the
public is not disposed to resent it
and yet there is widespread opinion
that it might have been avoided or
at least that it should not be again
attempted. But as to the common pro-
fiteer we want no more patting on the
back.

says the department, that ordinarily
there would be tendency toward low
err prices. Unfortunately there ap-
pears to be no means available at this
time for arriving at the European re-
quirements for leaf tobacco and ifs
products during the next year. Cigar
leaf, practically all Of which goes iHz
to domestic consumption, has decline
ed sharply in price since the signing
of the armistice. and the market for
this type has been inactive The fire
cured types, which are exported per-
haps to the extent Of so per cent of
the production, are selling at moder-
ately high prices. The. flue-cured type
somewhat more than half of which is
normally exported. and Burnley, which
ordinarily is not an export type, have
been selling at abnormally high prices
The situation with reference to
flue-cured tobacco is of special i'm
portance in view of the lextraordinar-
lily large crop of last year and the pos
sibility of further large increase in
the crop this year, particularly in
eastern North Carolina and in South
Carolina and Georgia, where cotton is
the chief competing crop. The situa-
ton would seem to be one ealing for
exercise Of caution by farmers, parti-
cularly on the part of those who have
not previously grown the crop and
would need to provide new curing
barns and other equipment.

HAS GAINED 10 POUNDS

From way up in West Virginia . friend of mine sent me bottle of Dreco by parcel post, as it was doing such wonderful good in the coal min- ing section of that state for people suf- fering just like myself said MT. c. W. Hanks, well-to-do farmer resid- ing on Route &. Birmingham. Ala.
 q afterward learned that I could get Dreco in Birmingham, and have bought three more bottles, as the first one helped so much. No one knows how I've suffered from my kidneys, blad- der, and liver. I've had to get up five or six times every night; couldn't ret any rest at all would hear the clock strice 1, ?, 3, 4, then I'd dress on the tfirst crack of day. All of this got me down so weak that although I looked we'll and hearty. couldn't even carry a bucket of water from the we'll to the house. on account of tho pains in my back.
 q was also very bilious and often had dizzy spells and headaches, which would knock me out. I've spent many dollar for medicine, but the money I spent for Dreco was worth more than all the other put together.
 Not one time do I have to get LID these nights. I go to sleep and don't wake until next morning, then get up feeling refreshed and vigorous. The pains in my back are gone and my liver is active, doing away with the dizxi- ness. I've gained ten pounds and my strength is the same as of old. Dreco is without exception the best medicine ever heard of.'
 Dreco, the root and herb juice rem edy. strengthens weak kidneys, rousese a lazy liver. quiets tired nerves. over comes constipation. increases the appe- tite and induces sound. refreshing sleep
 All good druggists now sell Dreco and is highly recommended in Birming- ham by Norton Drug company. Dreco Is also sold in Bessemer by the Fulton Drug company, in Fairfield by Halls pharmacy. in Wlam by Central phar- macy.--Adv.

Liquor Runs to Waste
 at Terminal Station

1o-gallon keg, filled with moon shine was found in the baggage room of the Terminal station yesterday after noon by Detectives Dobyns and Walton. The keg was hidden in an old trunk, with a small hole in the side, through which the whisky leaked out. The odor of the ''likker'' attracted a large crowd of employees, who sighed as the stream of whisky which formed into a small pool and grew larger as the stuff con- tinued to pour from the keg and ran to waste No clue to the owner of the trunk could be found.

LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS

The successful business man must
base his life upon honor and lnteg-
rity. Beyond the outside OF these,
he must have the compound OF
initiative, aggressiveness, deternii-
nation, practicabiity and VISION
which America, in her love for con-
densation. has chosen to style pep.
The successful, wide-awake ana
progressive town must possess the
same qualities. 1t must have the
Indictment TO realize that Its pros
perity and growth depend on the
home advantages and business adj
yantages which it can offer. And II
must have vision enough to see that
expenditures which secure these ad-
yantages are not extravagances, ou'
an asset.
Money spent in local improve
ments, such as public buildings
schools, good roads, sewers, city
water. gas and electric light, Is
money well spent. Undertaking any
of these improvements is ike max
ing an cActfittll
is bound to return dividends The
gain to the town reacts to the COM
fort and benefit of every citizen.
Who wants to live in a town with
out 'pep," town which drags out
its monotonous existence without
growth or improvement? When the
question of a local improvement
comes up, stand behind it, boost
it. work for it, vote for it. Install
local improvements, and you will
see your town sought by business
enterprises and factories.
1t is up to you, Mr.. Citizen.
Stand up for local improvements
first, last and all the time, and you

ASSETS :

When you have ascertained how
much money a man has in the bank
you have not ascertained how he
stands in the community.
He may be rich and mean. He
may have accumulated large private
gains and small public spirit. He
may be too "near" to be neighborly.
Perhaps prosperity has ahrdened
the arteries of his compassion. He
may have forgotten what it was
to be poor and to be compelled to
struggle in the fog of day or the
dark of night, for livelihood.
SO don't make the mistake of
"sizing man up" by the size of
his bank account. He may be big
ger or smaller than figures in cold
print can picture him.
! The assest a real man chiefly
covets are those which are acquir-
able by character, and character
only.
A place in the general respect of
the community is, like coral island,
a matter of gradual growth.
1t does not come suddenly, all
at once, though it may be lost
quickly, and thereby sometimes

Reputation is built by a success
sion of acts of the same creditable
character. 1t may be swept away
by a despicable deed, but when a
man has once formed the habit
of doing good and being good he is
far more likely to keep it up than
he is to change.
AS rule, a good reputation once
made, is not lost. 1t is the best of
letters of credit. If men have
learned to trust you they will do
things for you ad with you which
otherwise they would not do.
