Or. Lisenbee Drives

DR.. L. v. Lisenbee, the oculist, is
good on eyes and "specs," but he is
not wise to the ways of an automo-
bile, according to the condition of
the machine he was driving yester-
day. The day being holiday, and
the Doctor being firm believer in
the Bell theory Of "observe, Re-
member and Compare" he took the
opportunity to observe the me-
chanism of Mr.. C. C. Daniels auto
mobile. With the wheel in his hand
he observed the Greenville street
houses moving smoothly past, he OBJ
served the flying leaves he left in
his trail, he observed the high
school building float gently past, and
then he observed buggy and horse
approaching in the opposite direc-
tion. There he began to remember
first the driver Of a Ford or other
vehicle, on meeting another con-
veyance, should turn to the right;
he remembered that if the road is
narrow brakes should be applied.
But he failed to remember that in
the act of passing another machine,
he should stay in the road. Then he
didn't remember anything for a few
minutes and it was time to compare.
The Ford jumped out of the road
and got bunged up worse than the
Abbeville football team did. DR..
Lisenbee, still following out the
Bell program, compared the Ford
to a lot of things that once could
move and suddenly lost that faculty.
By comparing it with other brands
Of the same article he decided that
the machine was not past repair, but
when that feat is accomplished he
won't have to seek far to find COM
parison for his purse-and the COM
parison will be odious to him, as it
was to VIM. Shakespeare or Piggy
Wiggly or somebody. !

LOWNDESVILLE


N
Rev. J. A. Clotfelter has resigned
the, rastorate of the Lowndesville
group of churches, and has accepted
the Townville and Roberts charges.
Mr.. Clotfelter has served the five
churches forming this group, for
seven years; because of the heavi-
ness of the work and the distance Of
the different charges, he was forced
to resign and accept lighter work. He
has made a most excellent pastor, a
forceful minister and noble lead
er. He has done wonderful work.
: Perhaps no pastor ever left church
with more friends, than have he and
his excellent family. 1T is with much
regret that the churches give him up,
because they feel that it will be hard
indeed to secure pastor whom. they
shall love and trust as they do him.
Not only are his churches grieved
over the removal of Rev. and Mrs.
Clotfelter and their sweet little
daughter, Doris, but the entire town
and all the surrounding communities
are saddened over their departure.
J They take with them the love and
good wishes of every body. -.

THE PARABLE OF BACKLNG UP

There was q long freight train,
and it stood upon a track, and it es-
sayed to go forward, but it could
not go.
For the train was heavy, and the
track was wet, and the wheels OF
the locomotive went round and
round, neither did the sand enable
them TO grip the track.
And | stood and watched 1t, and
wondered if it could make its Get
away. ~
But the engineer was wise in his
generation, and he backed up a few
inches and then quickly threw his
lever ahead, and opened the throttle
tolerably wide.
And the engine started ahead, and
the first ear started with 1t. And the
second car felt the jerk, and started
also, and he third likewise.
Then did all the cars fail in line
each one of them with jerk and a
change Of its mind, and the engineer
sat IN his seat and whistled quiet
tune, for he had everything coming
along fine.
Now what he had done was only
this, that ne gave unto himself the
benefit Of the fraction Of an inch Of
slack that is between each car and
it's neighbor, So that he did not have
to start the first car until the engine
had gone ahead for the half of an
inch, and the second car started not
till the first was going.
And each car gave unto him little
CT slack, and ali the time the engine
and the cars were gathering momen-
tum. And by the time the last car
started, it was with jerk that over
came all its hesitation and then some.
Now there are plenty Of good peo-
pie who fail because they never learn
this little trick.
They undertake to start the Uni
verse in the way it should go, and
the Universe is Conservative.
And they pull and puff and wear
fiat place on the rail, and get red
in the face, but arrive nowhere.
But the wise man learneth the
value of a little slack in the coup
lings, and even the wisdom Of back
ing up a little that he may the more
surely go forward.

EDITORIAL.

THIS morning it was Mr.. Fiard-
wick. This evening it IS Gov
ernor Hardwick.
The executive branch of the
government of Georgia is in new
hands. 1t means new era, a
new deal for Georgia. Whether
it will be a better era or a worse,
from the standpoint of govern
ment, time alone will tell.
The Times-Recorder did not
help elect Governor Hardwick,
except to be as fair to him as to his
opponents in its news columns. In
the past it has disagreed with him
most strenuously. And in what
is said here it does not admit it
has surrendered any of those
ideals, any of those principles,
which caused it to differ with him
strenuously. But he has been
elected governor of the great En-
pire State of the South. His vic
tory at the polls was SO decisive
that there could be no doubt that
he was the real choice of the peo-
pie. This being true, and we
readily acknowledging in him a
man OF great ability, and, we be-
lieve, high purpose-although
many of us may not have given
him credit for this in the heat of a
bitter campaign-we can do no
less than line up squarely behind
him as he begins his term of office.
Therefore, the TiInes-Recorder
takes this occasion to inform its
readers and also Governor Hard
wick that the new administration
may count upon the whole-heart-
ed, complete and genuine sup
port of the Times-Recorder in all
that it may undertake in the way
OF constructive effort for the good
of Georgia.
