devoted to making a fortune now seem

Nothing will carry man so far away
from a woman as new train OF

Every man possesses at least three
personalities: The dashing devil, he

being he really Is. and the noble hero
COR the helpless. laundering babel which
some woman thinks he is.
The average girls idea of making

A man first snatches a woman S
kisses, then pleads for them, then de-

accepts them-and then permits them.
Men have loved one another well
enough to share their last crust OF
bread, their last pipe-full of tobacco,
their last reserve bottle, and even
the same womans smiles-but never
well enough to share the same auto
mobile.
If husbands and wives would remem-

they might cultivate a little more po-

FlJRLOW HEAD OF
S. A. DRIVE here
Accepts Chairmanship
For County And Asks
Cooperation

1t is announced that T. M. Furlow.
known to every man. woman and
child in this section, has accented the
guardianship for Sumter county of
the annual drive for funds of the
salvation army, which will begin
WITHIN a few days. Rev. Silas John
son is chairman for the Americus dis
trlct and 7. NJ. McLendon treasurer.
M. Furlow in a statement TODAY
asks the cooperation of his friends
and the friends of the Salvation ar
my TO help put the campaign over
the top.
The Salvation Army campaign is
on practically, and will last but a few
days, said he, consequently it be-
hooves everybody to do their duty
as soon as possible in order that the
people OF this stage may show their
appreciation for the worthy work of
q band of people who risked their
lives for the comfort of our boys in
France, and who are now preparing
Tor an extension of its work in times
of peace.
The Salvation Army did nothing
new IN the great World War. Its
army Of workers only transferred
their activities to a field OF battle
between men, for it has been fight
ing battle of vice, poverty, sin and
misery in our own fair land for fifty
years and has won many a battle in
its work of relieving suffering. 1t
reclalms yearly thousands of girls who
have gone astray. There is hardly a
county in the Southern states that
does not send men and women out
into the world too weak to fight the
battle of existence and who sooner
or later are helped by the Salvation
Army.
'It makes very little fuss about it's
charitable work, but it is constantly
at it and hundreds of thousands of
people can testify to its worth in
the cause of humanity. People of
this state are greatly appreciative
of the wonderful sacrifice that the
Salvation Army workers are con-
stantly making in order to help suf-
fering mankind, and while we may
be ever so tired of giving and serv-
ing, we cannot afford to turn deaf
ear to this annual appeal of the Sal
walton Army for funds with which to
carry on its worthy work for another
twelve months. This is the cause to
which every man, woman and child
in this state should proudly con-
tribute something.
