Digging Up Raw Materials.

Roger Babson, the statistician,
made a speech recently in which he
said that all the vision, initiative, en-
thusiasm and thrift in the United
States is locked up in two per cent of
the people.
eff these two per cent were sudden
ly wiped out" said Mr.. Babson, "this
nation would go back fifty years. "
To demonstrate that his percentage
was high rather than low, he asked
the audience to consider their own
city, representing population OF
about one million Two per cent of
this would be 10000.
Does a city of a million contain
more than 10000 people who can be
relied upon in an emergency fol
brains, energy and faith
The point Mr.. Babson made was
that the great, undeveloped natural
resource of America is-men.
Double the percentage of men and
women who dream, think and do, and
we can double our progress overnight
Here is an astounding thought.
To show the great potentialiteS
that exist in men, Mr.. Babson cited
the instance of man who, five years
ago, was delivering express packages
at SO a week. He is now in charge
of the sales of company doing busi,

ness of million dollars year.
Another man, who six years ago
was repairing Mr.. Babson's garage,
is now and expert on commodity
prices. And girl doing important
work in his organization today was
two years ago a Western Union mes
senger.
"The raw material for the develop
ment of leaders in industry, commerce
and finance is abundant and mex
haustible," said Mr.. Babson. "For-
tunes await the men who will take
the trouble to work this material up
into the finished product.
"That is the way | have made
most of my money-not in buying
and selling stocks and bonds"

Bachelor and Business Man Reaches
10th Mile Post.

Mr.. Geo. Bowsky, whose familiar
presence in Brookhaven and in its
commercial world has been known
here since 1856 passed his SEVENTEEN
birthday last Friday. In honor of the
event, Mr.. j. w. McGrath, of his
longtime contemporary, the McGrath
Store, hoisted the flag Of our country,
at the latter place which courtesy
was reciprocated by the honoree in
invitations to a number of friends to
Mr.. Bowsky's home that evening.
The gentlemen present enjoyed an
hour of convivial pleasure and many
good wishes and congratulations
were expressed for their boon COM
panion Of the past eventful years.
'Bowsky's" is the Oldest store In
Brookhaven under one continuous
management. 1t began its career in
1856 and for many years the two
brothers, Messrs. George and the late
Alias Bowsky, harmoniously and sue
cessfully conducted business that
from the start attracted large pa
tronage and so continues at this
distant day.
Mr.. Bowsky has a sister who re-
sides at his home. Mr. Bowsky is
probably the oldest bachelor in this
vicinity. BY his charity and consid-
Grafton Of others he has brought hap
piness into many Families without
claiming one Of his own.
His friends will unite in wishing
that Mr.. Bowsky's last days may be
his best and that his strength may
be as his days are.

JURY GIVES $4,000
TO MAN LOSING FOOT
Wire Box Veneer Makers Given
Entertainment in Hatties-
burg.

Hattiesburg, Miss, May 15.-An-,
drew Hellerman, in a personal injury
suit against the Tallahala Lumber
Company, has just been awarded
verdict by jury in the Circuit Court
for the sum of $4,000, the amount
being $4,000 less than he sued for,
which was $4,000. 1t is alleged
that the complainant was an employe
of the defendant company and that
in attempting to get aboard NOV
ing train, he placed his foot on a
step that was bent slightly inward
and he failed to make connection
with the step, fell and the train ran
over him, inflicting such injuries as
to cause him to lost his left foot and
ankle.
The manufacturers of wire box We
neer were entertained recently at a
lucheon atS the Hotel Hattiesburg,
after which they went to Laurel in
outos, and from Laurel to Sanders
vile, where they saw the caterpillar
tank belonging to.the Mississippi We
neer Company do some exhibition
work in which it pulled two wagons
loaded with logs. The caterpillar
tank is very much on the order of
the British tanks used in the war. C.
B. Ashley, the manager showed the
visitors what the tank was doing in
swamps and boggy places where near
ly all the timber for veneer plants
is procured. The visitors went to
Laurel, where they were given a dim
ner at the Pinehurst Hotel by the
Messrs. Lindsey, father and sons, who
operate sawmill there and make
veneer also. The party, consisting
of about thirty, then drove back to
Hattiesburg, ending their social ses-
sions there.

Normal College will begin Saturday.

COUNTY MAY BORROW s5o,ooO.oO
Test Suit Results Favorably to Board
of Supervisors Special Act
Upheld.

The county was enjoined from
borrowing $4,000 to pay current ex-
penses for the year 1920, and the
case was heard in Jackson yesterday
by agreement. The Chancellor held
that the county had the right and
power to borrow said amount under
the law.
1t was contended by the complain
ants that the Board did not have the
power under special act of the Leg
islature to borrow said amount for
several reasons, but the Court took d
different view and decided in favor
of the county and dissolved the in
junction.
The case will be appealed to the
Supreme Court but on account of the
public interest it will be heard at
an early date.
The complainants were represent
ed by Brady & Dean. The county
was represented by H. v. Wall and

RAIN IN DETROIT.

DETROIT, November 2.-Early vot-
ers in lower Michigan went TO the
polls this morning through a heavy
rain, while those of the northern
peninsula were greeted by colder
weather and a forecast of snow. Not
withstanding these conditions cleo
ton officials looked for a total vote
of approximately 100000. owing, in
part. to unusual interest in state
issues.
In addition to registering their
choice for President, Michigan voters
were to elect congressman and all
state officers. Attorney General Alex
j. Groesbeck and former Gov. Wood
bridge n. Ferris were. respectively,
democratic and republican guberna-
torial candidates.
Among the state issues counted
upon to bring out heavy vote was
a proposed constitutional amendme
which would, in effect, abolish pri-
vate and parochial schools.
