MOURN OVER LOST CHANCES
Few Who Do Not Claim to Have Had
Great Opportunities, and
Lost Them.

In an article in Peoples Magazine
Hugh S. Fullerton tells Of millions Of
dollars worth of ideas running to
waste.
"Fd rather have the idea failed to
follow up than the ones made my
money out Of"
That was said to me by man who
ranks among the wealthieSt in the
country and who IS credited. among
his associates, with almost supernat-
ural wisdom in evolving ideas and see
ing their possibilities.
every man had one or more big
chances to get to the top" he cOntin-
ued. "If you don't believe that, just
get into any crowd Of men, tell some
yarn Of an opportunity that you had,
and overlooked, and then listen to
them. Chances are every one of them
will have better story Of lost Oppor-
tunity than you told, and nine out of
ten of them will tell wonderful story
of how some other man stole their
great ideas and got rich or famous
from them. Examine into these stories
and you will find, in the majority of
cases, that the man who claims to have
originated the idea did not do 1t at
all, that he did not see the pOssibili-
ties Of it, or that, even If he did, he
was not smart enough or lacked the
initiative TO follow it up.
There are more chances for men to
get rich now than there ever were be-
fore in the history Of the world, and
more big chances being overlooked.
Whether it is because men lack faith
in themselves or because they prefer
a hummng bird in the hand to an
eagle in the air, don't know. They
seem to think a man must be super
genius or great inventor"
reminded him that he had rep
utatiOn as an originator as an invent
or and genius, in addition to being a
successful organizer.
BUNK" he asserted. II do not
claim to have originated anything. My
success has been due to seeing the pos
sibiItes of an idea and working out
the details so as to apply the idea to
practical business. Probably thou
sand men thought of the same things
did before was born, and did not de-
velOp them. Some of my most success
full ideas probably were talked over
and dreamed over by hundreds who
failed to work them out practically"

Some Joys of the Metropolis.

Hunting for q home in New York
is more thrilling than any tale ever re-
lated by Gaboriau, more improbable
than the adventures of Baron Nun
chausen, more daring than exploits
of Arscne Lupin, as sordid as the nov
els of Emile Zola and rs mysterious as
the dramas of Wilkie Collins. Just now
there is not an apartment to be found
in the whole of Manhattan. Up in the
Bronx they are renting cellars. A sky

a dingy street draws $40 month.

NOT A CRIMINAL.
CASE BEFORE JURY
Terrell Superior Court Makes Remark
able Record. Fined For Hay-
ing Cane Juice.

Terrell superior court was adjourn
ed Wednesday after session OF only
two days and half, the shortest and
most uninteresting in the history OF
the county.
The civil docket was finished by
Tuesday noon and recess taken I'M
til Wednesday morning, when Judge
Worrill took up the criminal docket.
Not single case was submitted to a
jury, something unheard of before in
the county. A few pleas of guilty were
entered.
Floyd Humber, negro, was lined
$40 for having a barrel of cane Juice
in his house The quantity was sus-
picious, causing the belief that he had
it for unlawful use after it had under
gone state OF fermentation.
The grand jury returned only four
teen true bills, and their presentments,
which are printed elsewhere in this
issue, are unusually brief. Two i'm
portant recommendation were made
by that body-one that the county
commissioners have the books of all
the county officers audited by an au-
thorized licensed accountant, and that
county policeman be empoyed.

WILL DAWSON GET
NEW POSTMASTER?
DIR. Cheatham Does Not Believe Re-
publican Administrator Will Mo-
lest Him Until 5 Years Hence.

There is much conjecture since the
presidential election as whether Post
master w. B. Cheatham will have to
surrender his office to some patriot of
the republican faith or be allowed to
continue to hold the office under the
civil service rule.
The opinion is prevalent that during
the administration of Mr.. Harding all
democratic postmasters will have to
surrender their positions to- republi-
can appointees, and that belief is shar-
ed by Postmaster Cheatham. He does
NOT believe, however, that he will be
molested until the expiration of his
commission, which is three years
hence.
AS to who will apply for the Daw-
son Office is not known. Perhaps less
than half dozen white men voted the
republican ticket here, and if any of
these have an ambition to serve the
public as postmaster they have not let
it be known.
