DON'T BE A GUTTER

"The race is won twiXt the strech anr the wire. In the time of stress don't be a quitter The year 1921 will have about the same number of fair days, sunshine and rain that we have usually had for years. The corn hog and cotten will grow and next fall we will realize that we did get by in fair ly good shape. Do you realize just how much the world, your commun- ity and you lose when you quit? Bus mess must go on. The land will be cultivated, for the world is fed and clothed by the products of the soil. For a new, men to try to take your place In business or to take your land there is certain loss. You have in- formation and many things that are useful to you that would be of little or no value to you if you gave up and quit, and not available to any one that follows you. Every one should help every one else, and thus make the number of quitters much less. You may not be able ti help with money but give a kind word of encourage ment and such friendly sympathy as you can, for at this time, when we are trying to wind up an old year and st. art new one, a few words we'll spok- en will make many of us tighten our belts and step onward with vigor. Don't be a quitter Let's go to work, for all things come to him who waits and works.
 Your business reputation, credit, and your organization are all gone if you quit If you quit what will you do and how will you do it?
 It has taken you a long time to build up By quitting you can destroy all this in a short time. Consider well what you are doing when you think of quitting. Anyone can give up and quit, but the man worth while keeps hitting the ball.

association their enthusiastic support. Some Who Helped
 The Montgomery daily papers, urg- ing he passage of the bill in 1919, quote the present regent of the asso- cIaaon as follows;
 'I osten think of that historic time and tae noble band of women who daily toiled with us at these lunches So nary of these have passed over the river. md now when their hope Is our ty I find myself wanting to tell them about 1t. Imperishable names they are: Mrs. Vincent Elmore, Mrs. Alfred T3ethea Mrs. John w. A. san ford, sr, Mrs. c. J. Campbell. Mrs c. j. Calhoun, Mrs. Albert Fillmore, Miss Bettie Bell, Mrs. Massalon Allen, Mrs. Thomas Armstrong, Mrs. Clifford Lanier, Mrs. John G. Finley and others how We wish they too could know that old home is really our own"
 Approved by the Governor
 The passage of the last White House bill of 1919 is such recent history that it needs no retelling here, suffice it to say. it took hard work faith, tact tears, sacrifice and courage. Often times-strange as it may seem-the task appeared hopeless and to spirits less brave would have been abandoned Eut through many troubles and tragic moments, the bill was passed and signed by our governor, Thomas D. Kilby.
 Purchase of Lot
 The White House commission was duly formed and a committee composed of Mrs John Tilley, chairman; Mrs. Clifford Lanier Jr., MT. Fitzhugh Lee, state auditor. and MT. Cobb, secretary of state, were appointed to buy grounds upon which the women had for some time held option, and have the house removed there. This, too, had it's tragic moments and it's ultimate success. How we'll they have surmounted diff ficulties--that beautiful vision of the old home shows for itself.
 And There It stands
 And now in its restoration it stands on that historic beautiful hill facing our capitol, teeming with the most romantic treasure and memories of any age. It stands noble and completes and perhaps even more beautiful than in the old days of that immortal pe- riod-4the first White House of the Confederacy-and by that designation 1t will be hallowed to all time.
 HaIIOyyed Shrine
 It stands there a memorial to Jeff ferson Davis, our martyr president, and his wife, Varina Howell Davis, a memorial too, to the fidelity, lovA. sacrifice and courage of a small band of devoted southern women.
 Young men of recent battles, young women who also have suffered, little children holding our fondest dreams, honor the old home out wonder, love it and protect it for the sake of it's matchless history, for the sake of those loyal women of the south-your proud mothers.
