The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1922-03-21

Rare indeed, are those who can hear with
out few chilling tremors an nexpEcable
sound in a lonely graveyard at midnight ann
old houses, when storm beaten, often make
more and queerer noises than are compatible
with perfect equnamity even on the part OF
those whose scorn OF spooks is loudest when
the sun shines Fear OF the so harmless dead
remains next to universal in one form or an
other" as the Fort Worth Record says,
which is nothing to be ashamed OF, but II
deserves study and understanding much more
than do haunted houses" thinks our contem-
pOrary.

This grade is the beginning of the

ed exceptional performance, but the
Jewett with two people made stand

went over the top at 20 miles an hour

When the Jewett had covered 400

Hard Work is the
Secret of Success

London, August 5.-what Is the Sc
cret of success? Is it long hours and
life of drudgery?
"My soul has rebelled against
drudgery for the last so years" said
Lord waring, yet there always has
been something kept me at it for an
average of Is hours day."
Can a man attain success without
hard work? What is the average num-
Der of hours a day put in by the sue
cessful man or woman?
Eminent business men and women,
artists, actresses and novelists tell of
the prodigious labors they pay for
their success. The keynote of their
comments is that long hours and
drudgery are inseparable from sue
cess If they are not always a sure
guarantee of it..
Gordon Selfridge said:
MY office hours are from a. m.
till p. m, but in or out of office |
am always at work. Success means
uEtiring altertness, and the wakeful-
ness that sees and seizes every oppor-
tunity"
Eric Carnage declared that II is lin
possible for the business man to meas
ure his work in hours. He stops work
only to eat, and then he talks of bus
mess ways and means. Building bus
mess is not like laying bricks. You
must be absolutely engrossed in H."
