A THOUGHT

This is the victory that over
cometh the world, even our faith.
i John sd.
The tow sentiments which most
inspires men to good deeds are love
and hope. Religion should give
frecr and more rational play to
these two sentiments than the
world has hitherto witnessed; and
the love and hope will be thorough
ly grounded in and on efficient,
serviceable, visible, actual and con-
crete deeds of conduct.-CharIes

By erton Braley.

They snecr at the obvious always,
With noses up high in the air;
When their shn-bones cracked on an obvious fact
They will not admit it is there;
They scOrn all conventional thinking,
AS "pabuum meant for the throng,'
And they simply ignore any commonplace lore
Which proves they're extensively wrong.
They were pacfists during the conflict,
And that the battles are won
They sit back and carp in a manner that's sharp
At ali that's accomplished and done;
They're proved indispensable prophets
On what they have said all along,
Yet with undsmayed hope they prepare new dope
Which is just confoundedly wrong.
Their theories carry them nowhere,
Their formulas function askew
1et it irks them indeed that the world will not heed
The things that they tell it to do;
With proud superciious hauteur,
Their paths philosophic they tread
And if by strange sooth they encounter the truth
They cut the poor lady quite dead!

ADVANTAGES TO OFFER
COTTON MILLS.

Americas offers many advan-
tagcs to the textile manufacturer
who may be contemplating the re-
moval Of plants from East to South
or planning to start new mills.
Surrounded by a fertile cotton
growing section, Americas, is
strategeticaIly located as regards
source Of supply for raw materials
for cotton goods manufacture. The
"source-of-suppIy factor looms
larger as the cotton famine grows
more acute. Enough cotton, even
under boil weevil conditions, is
produced in this county to furnish
ample supply Of raw cotton for
large cotton mill.
There are regions in the South
not now adapted to raising cotton
profitably. But the soil of Sum-
ter county and vicinity is fertile
enough to produce a fair crop of
cotton despite the weevil and 9TH
cr adversitics. Manufacturers will
surely take into serious considera-
ton this great source Of supply.
For mills located at Americas
would secure cotton direct from
the farm by wagon and truck.
The manufacturer could get in
this section an ample supply Of in
telGgent and energetic labor. La
Dor costs in the South are more
reasonable than in the East, and
the type of help is more efficient.
AngIo-GaXon Southerners do bet
ter work than ilIiterate foreign
crs. No part of the South offers
better class of white labor TO
manufacturers than this South
Georgia region.
Americas is splendidIy located
as to health conditions and climatic
advantages. The water supply is
uneXcellod, as is attested by re-
ports from the Georgia State
Board of Health, and by other evil
dences.
Climatic conditions must be TAX
en- Reconsideration as regards the
technical phases of textile manu-
featuring. A fairly moist, warm
climate is essential to The making
of a first-grade product Of cotton
gods. A cold dry climate, or even
a hot, dry climate causes diff
culties Of operation hard to over
come by artificial methods. Amer
icus, therefore, offers natural con-
ditions of climate that should APP
peal to a wise manufacturer.
The city offers adequate trans
portation facilities through the two
branches of the Central railroad
and the Seaboard railroad. The
coal fields Of Alabama and Ten
nossce are not far distant, afford
ing fuel at minimum Of freight
costs.
Americas, with the surrounding
section, IS ripe for the coming of
textile manufacturer. The open
ing here is enticing, and we pre-
dict that not many months will
pass before Americas is selected
as the site for the location of a
new cotton mill, PROVIDED
Americas business men unite in
their efforts to attract capital here
for such purpose.

HOW PHONE SYSTEM BEGAN
There Were Only Eight Subscribers
and the Switchboard Was by
Way Of a Joke.

One switchboard, with a capacity of
eight subscribers stations-that was
the beginning of telephone service, the
first step toward the commercial de-
velopment Of the late Alexander Ora
ham Bells now famous invention. A
crude switchboard had been used In
Boston In 1877, but only for expert
mental and demonstration purposes.
Its chief function was to convince the
people of Boston and casual visitors
Of the utility of the telephone and of
its future possibilities, says Telephone
Press Service.
The ancestor Of the modern CONNER
cial telephone switchboard was In.
stalled In New Haven, Conn.,. in 1878.
From Its eight lines has been evolved
the network Of wires and cables which
covers the country from coast to coast.
From single switchboard the num-
Der Of central offices within city has
increased to over 100. From less than
q dozen subscribers stations, the total
within the limits of a single city has
mounted In several cases to over 100,-
600 and in one case to over 1,0OO,OO0.
Under one roof as many as 10000 lines
are switched and central offices are
now planned with a capacity Of more
than double that number.

BUSINESS MEN LIKE OTHERS
Somewhat Prevalent Error 10 In Con-
sidering Them to Be Something
Of a Race Apart.

Orators and literary folk Of a Ger.
tain widespread school seem to imag-
Inc that business men are all alike;
that Is, dishonest and prosperous
from robbing the poor. The truth ~
many business men are themselves
poor. Many Of them fail because Of
unreliability, idleness, extravaganza.
lack of intelligence.
Business men are like any other
class Of men; some of them capable,
reliable, Industrious and successful,
and some Of them the reverse.
Thousands Of proletarians are in busl-
ness, as thousands of our best men
are working for wages and In training
to occupy the big positions and en-
Joy the big incomes. In any group Of
business men, most Of them do not
amount to much, as Is the case in any
other group. The rich were robbed
In Russia because they were arlsto-
Gratis by birth. 1t cannot be done In
the United States because here the
well-to-do come up from the ranks,
and are the best fighters as well as
the best money makers.-From e. w.

asthma and hay fever being heredi-
