Four Minute Talks
BY WILLIAM H. BAWDEN
SUCCESS.

SUCCESS.
. What is success? In popular Ian
guage u is said that the man who can
get away with anything is successful.
Such language presumably has been
borrowed from the exploits Of the
highwayman, who holds you UP at
the pistols point or with bludgeon sus-
pended over III head, compsl5 you
to part with some of this worlds
goods, and gets away with it in such
a manner that you never again hear
either of him or your stolen property.
But-the definition can stand only as a
popular one.
More accurately speaking, tina is
successful whihc accomplishes that
for which 1t was intended. A watch,
for instance, if it keeps good time; an
automobile, If 1t transports you quick
ly from place to place; a lamp, II II
furnishes light at the needed point;
and ice cream factory, If 1t turns out
good ice cream. Now, no matter now
finely constructed, no matter with
how many jewels set, no matter now
beautiful its golden case, unless a
watch keeps good time, 1t is useless
for all purposes as a watch. 1t may
be a fine ornament, it may be a price
less heirloom, it may serve as a fine
model of what some bygone age used,
but as q watch 1T Is not "a success.
Blu how may it be determined, In
every instance, for what any given
thing is intended? If the author is
known. the answer is very readily
found by the simple ~expedient of ask
ing him; or if this be impossible, an
examination of the article in question
ought soon to determine the matter,
at least with reasonable limits. If 1t
has wheels that rest upon the ground,
it is probably intended for some sort
of locomotion. Similarly, a firebox
would suggest a fire; q boiler, steam,
etc.
When we inquire. then, about the
success of man, we may either ask his
creator, or examine his constitution.
For those who believe in a revelation
of God, the Bible will furnish one re-
ply. But the same conclusion may
be reached by the other method. Man
is a spirit clothed Upon with a body.
Any end to which he may come, at
which he nay aim, cannot be pro-
nlounced a success unless 1t takes in
to account the whole man, unless such
success shall comprise h spiritual
development Of nan as well as hat of
q more material nature. No matter,
then, how successful a man may be
along n purely material line, fine as
his accomplishment may be, sure as
it may be to receive the plaudits of
his fellowmen, nevertheless he is q
failure unless there is an equally out
standing success on his spiritual side,
in his character life.
OF the two, the great teacher of the
race has given unqualified approval to
the latter. practically saying that sue
cess in character building is the only
success that man can achieve hat is
really worth while, because 1t is the
only accomplishment that Is abiding.
His creator calls upon him to be
something, not to do something; and
as he shall success at the fl
nal a~ssize, men will be called to ac-
count for what they r. rather than
for what they have done. OF course,
what a man does determines what he
is. How about yourself as a sue

Of $1.S5.
If the company accepts the rate al

sufficient reason for the resembling OF
the increase allowed today.

In Scarboro Case. City Of Marietta
Has s4s,0ooo in Notes in Same

Vice-President Ever of the Nation
al Park Bank, of New York City. the
bank which handled the 100000 in
Tiff county notes through Frank Scar
b0ro, for which the county received
no return, was in Triton Saturday in
consultation with attorneys in the
case.
While Mr. Ever had very little to
say, It is understood that his bank
will bring suit on the notes il it finds
there is no other recouse. II is
thought here that as constitutional
adm legal proposition the money can
\ not be collected from the county but
there Is a strong sentiment that, as a
matter of right and for the protection
of its credit the county should pro-
tect the paper.
AS time passes. accounts of the
shortage of the Frank Scarboro t~ans-
ing now to approximately 100000.
II Is said that the city of Marietta
has $48 900 in notes in the same shape
as the Tiff county notes. The county
OF Cobb is also reported TO have had
SEQ 900 in notes in Mr. Scarboro's
hands but II is not certain that these
were sold. The Laurens county mat
ter has dropped from $50, 90 at first
reported, to $4,000 some of the
amount being paid.
So far as known, no one in Triton
has heard word from Scarboro
either directly or indirectly, since he
left here on the night Of February
Is, for the ostensible purpose of GO
ing 10 New York 10 raise funds.
II was reported that Mr. W A
Greer. Of Ashburn, was also a loser,
but Mr.. Greer was in Triton Satur-
day and examining the records found
that his papers were clear the
amounts having been paid.
