DR.. BARTON'S
DAMYIETTER
SUCCESS
By D.. William Z. BARTON

RECENTLY I heard one man ask
another, How do you account
for Worthington's success?"
The other man answered, "The on.
ly way know of accounting for it
Is that he had the goods"
That had not seemed to occur to
the man who asked the question. He
seemed to be one Of the kind who
assumed that if any man attains sue
cess greater than his own, it is be-
cause he inherited wealth, or married
the daughter of his employer, or had
pull with some one higher up.
That seems to me a bad habit. II
is not good for man to get to think
ing that the success of other men is
sham.
1t is towards consolation for
| ones own failures.
1t Is better to assume that other
| men have won their success honest
ly, or that if they have not won it in
that way they are not likely to hold
1t, and then to resolve to win success
for ones self honestly and not ether
wise.
This thing of attempting to &C
count for men is delusive. We can
not account for any man. The most
commonplace man has about hin.
something unaccountable. But in {
world where the field is open and
competition keen, not many men are
able to secure and hold positions OF
eminence unless they deserve them
When you see a man who has ris.
en-, rung by rung on the ladder OF
success, do not deceive yourself with
the notion that he had balloon. If he
| had, the gas would have escaped some
time ago. The chances are that he got
there by climbing.
If you believe in the balloon the
DRY, you are liable to waste valuabl,
time looking for the gas bag, wher
you ought to be gripping the lowe.

A plague of dust such as has not
been experienced here in long time
has settled upon the city, and has
added largely to the discomfort that
has been occasioned by the extended
drouth.
Wells are failing rapidly, and as
springs and small streams are going
dry as well, the situation is really dis
tressing. Many bold streams in Sum-
ter are lower than ever before known
and will dry up altogether unless re-
lief from rain comes shortly.
While Americas has heard the ring
of hammer and saw the past sum.
mer in the building of new residences
the demands are for many more. and
half hundred additional modest
homes, especially those of the pop.
ular bungalow type, could ready find
tenants.
The former Mary Hardy farm of
more than 200 acres, lying five OF
six miles west of Americas and be.
longing to the Jesse L. Chambliss es.

chaer was DR.. T. NJ Merritt, who
paid $40 an acre therefor.
