! limit To our achievements lies with
! in the compass OF our own mind, we
are on the high road to success AS
our ambitions increase. our powers
will increase correspondingly. We
may not all reach the topmost pin
nacles OF fame, because some must
serve while others command. But az
we progress in experience so shall
We advance in our work. In these
days most OF us reject the doctrine
of fatalism, believing that we are
"the masters of our fate, the captains
of our souls"
No man has right to be a failure.
Each of us has sufficient power with
in him to enable him to satisfy his
every want. II you are unsuccessful
II Is only because OF some negative
quality OF mind that prevents you put
ting forth all your energies. Doubt
is like man in a boat pulling the
wrong way. The instant you turn II
out of your mind your energies are
concentrated on your work, and you
are running on the full time of sue
cess.
Doubts are traitors" Treat them
as such. or they will destroy your
mental citadek They are the creatures
of your own imagination and you Gre
alto them yourself. Range up your
faculties in battle array. Turn out
your weak units, the chief among
them doubt, and go forth to conquer.
Cheating the Dolorous Doctors
In any time OF crisis o man is
thrown back upon his own individual
resources In cases Of illness not only
does his recovery depend upon his re-
serve of strength, but upon his WILL
power. We all know cases in which
the individual has been given up by
the doctor; he has determined not to
die, and by sheer force Of will has
hung on TO the vital thread Of life un-
I'll the reaction has come and he has
recovered.
Life is u series OF crises. II you
will only take the trouble to study
men you will come to see
that they are superior to their Eel
ows not so much in ability or in
dustry as tenacity Of purpose. They
never doubt their power to succeed.
The Bishop Of London once said:
"No man is a failure till he gives up"
The British navy has q tradition
which is expressed In the words:
Garry on" You must carry on" in
your business career. through all
doubts, all difficulties. all despair.
There never was position 80 hope
less that II could defeat brave man.
The old saying. God helps those who
helps themselves" Is rs true as any
words ever were.

Trouble Is Only a Big Bully

IrOuDie II Ou1y Dig buuy
Things sometimes seem to hang fire
until you are ready for them. Perils
that seem to be imminent walt until
you are strong enough to overcome
them. A man once said to me when
I was downhearted:
Trouble is only big bully. Tackle
II and 1t runs away. Run from II and
II will overcome you"
You will Always notice in success
full men an element OF power which
is most impressive For want OF
better term We call II personality.
When you talk OF a mans person
atty Of individuality, or whatever 9th
or name you choose to apply, you re-
fer to that definate mental force which
all men possess, which some have
more strongly developed than others.
but which all men can cultivate. The
other mans job always looks easier
than our own.
When you find successful man you
find a worker. He works hard when
he has no need to work. He works
because he loves work. and that is
why he has succeeded in II.
No matter how strong your will or
how high your nope, your mind is un-
balanced and incomplete unless you
use your facilities vigorously and con-
scientiously. Tomorrow brings its
own duties. To-day is the appointed
time. Throw on sloth and doubt.
Shall the energy and the work OF the
world wait for your share OF the

doubt will grow there. A little hest.
tation will grow into a big doubt and
the habit OF doubt will surely result
in death to self-reliance and goodby
to success.
Napoleon said that attack was the
safest method OF defense. Out with
all your doubts and fears! No task
can ever come your way that you have
not the power within you to fulfill.
Doctors say that the human frame Is
never called on to suffer more pain
than II can bear. II the pain grows
beyond the power OF human endurance
we lapse into Inconsistencies. The
same Is true of the mind. Nothing
Is asked Of us in this world that we
are not capable Of giving.
As the mind will feed upon doubt,
so II will feed upon hope. When doubt
comes into the mind, throw II out.
DO not parley with II, do not admit
any other consideration than that 1t
has no business there. SO long as
you admit the slightest possibility Of
failure. so long there is an influence
In your mind that is preventing you
putting all your energies into the
truth.
When task lies before you say 81
will do this" instead OF IL will try to
do this" DO not ask yourself any
questions about capacity, such as
Can I do this" Affirm positively to
yourself that Il lies within your pow
ers to do what you have to do. Mega
tive thoughts are antagonistic to ac-
tlon. and without action there can be
accomplished.
The More You Try the Moro You
Can Do.
The habit OF posltiveness keeps the
mind In constant state OF power and
confidence. It enables you to attack
problems that would daunt a doubt
ing person. and to overcome them
successfully. The more you under
take and accomplish the more your
mind will grow.
II is said OF some people that they
cannot see further than their noses.
When we say that OF any one, We
mean that he or she has n narrow
mental outlook, that never expands
and reveals the promised land Of pos
s.bilities. Unless we know what we
zen achieve we can have no success
because our efforts must be aimless.

Nothing has ever been found to

OUR LIBRARY
To the People of Fitzgerald and
Ben Hill County:

AS a member Of the Library Board
] desire to call your attention to the
fact that OUR library ranks fourth
IN the State of Georgia as to circu-
lation. 1t is not generally known
that we furnish books to 10 stations
i'll the county. The County authori-
ties have appropriated something
like $4,000 to the library fund. For
the information of the people gener-
ally the Grand Jury at Cordeie has
just recommended to- the county au-
thorities that their appropriation to-
ward the library in Cordele be in
ceased from $500 to $1,000
If Crisp County can afford to do
nate this much. to their library. Ben
Hill County eau do the same. We
all realize that all progress, both ma
teriaI. educational and moral, is based
upon education. We know that
schools only instill a desire for edu-
cation. Complete education comes
from the studying of great books, the
ABSORPTION of ideas and thoughts
from great writer's. La this day and
time, a public library is just as inn
portant in the progress of the COM
munity, as schools and churches.
believe we have the best librarian
in the State. She has practically,
without any great amount of funds,
builded an institution that is a credit
to our city and county. Let the
people of the town and county be-
come enthusiastic about this matter
and let them bring pressure to bear
upon our officials and see that this
institution is properly supported
by the appropriation of sufficient
funds to carry out the plans of our
librarian.
We are in need of more books,
such as technical reference books,
historical works, etc. Let every per-
son in the City of Fitzgerald resolve
