TELEPHONE TERRORS
FOR EDITORS.

Johnny Spencer, in the Macon
Telegraph, recently said:
"Worst of pests that drive me
flooey, while my blood with hate
congeals, is the telephone terror
who disturbs me at my meals. Just
as sure as l am seated, ready for
good square feed and have heap
ed my plate with victuals that a
hungry man may need, then that
pesky bell starts ringing and |
jump to check it's noise, hearing
through the blamed receiver tones
which Danish all my joys. For
watch my victuals cooling with a
hopeless, hollow groan while that
idiot is talking through the helpless
telephone. And when | am almost
mad enough to tear it from the
wall, he winds up his conversation
with the words, Perhaps I'll call" "
l return with resignation on my
stone-cold tea to sup and survey
my cold potatoes-and another
pest calls up"

BUSINESS MAN TAUGHT
A VALUABLE LESSON

One Of the most successful busi-
ness men wo know has grasped the
fine art of being able to complete
ly understand his customers wants
and interests. And it is his de-
sire to meet those wants.
He says that once he employed
lawyer to represent him in an
important matter, and trat from
the first, this lawyer seemed to be
IN sympathy with his opponents in
the case. In the place of having
the strength of the legal man whom
ne was paying, he really had to
hight HIM as well as the other side.
Only in doing this he could not
come out in the open, for that
again would give confidence and
encouragement to the enemy.
The business man won out be-
cause his cause was just. The
instance taught him a valuable
business lesson. he saw the view
point of his customer and the ne
cessity of wholehearted interest
and endeavor to furnish his Gus
toner with the goods for which
he was willing to pay and which
he had a right to expect.

''HONEST ABE" LINCOLN
HAS A BIRTHDAY TODAY.

Again we observe the anniver-
sary of Abraham Lincoln's birth
in 1909. And it occurs to many
of US, that Lincoln is steadily be-
coming greater with the passing
of the years. he died in 1866
only So years ago, which is a short
period in .humanity's history-but
already he is being glorified into
an almost legendary character.
That is because history is classi-
flying him as. force rather than
as a man. His philosophy or per-
sonal liberty and the proper inter-
relationship of human beings is,
today, world influence.
From log cabin and obscure pov-
erty to the presidency and interna-
tlonal fame! Lincoln towers as an
lndellble reminder of what America
offers to real ability, regardless of
humble origin. Surely the career
of Honest Abe" is a constant in
spiration to all Americans strup-
Cling to hake this better world
Tor themselves and for others.

only to bereaved parents, but to
the community at large. In early
manhood he had demonstrated his
real worth as a community asset;
it is only possible to estimate his
value to Americus had he lived.
His death, perhaps, was due large
ly to the enthusiasm of his pro-
gressive spirit, and progress, like
science, has always claimed its
martyrs among brightest minds.
Carroll Clark's clean, morally
strong life should be an inspira-
tion to the youth of this communi-
ty, even as his death is a communi-
ty loss. Especially VIII he be miss
ed in the Sunday school and church
work, where his sweet voice added
greatly to the service, and in the
circle of his immediate friends,
where his happy disposition was so
widely appreciated.

THIS is GEORGIA DAY;
THE STATE is CELEBRATING.

In every town and city in this
great commonwealth of our
schools, civic bodies, public Off
Gals and the public generally from
many rostrums are proclaiming
that ours is the greatest state in
the union, and from the viewpoint
of local pride they are right.
This day is known throughout
the state as Georgia Day." and
on February of II of each year
we gather at some public place to
join in the acclaims which recite
the many achievements made since
we, in 1777, about this time of
the year, emerged from the colony
of Georgia founded by General
Oglethorpe in the Southest where
Savannah is now situated.
Since that memorable date we
have made wondrous strides in
commerce, industries and agricul-
tural pursuits. To enumerate
them all would open the eyes of
some Georgians who are yet in ig-
ndrance of the real history od
his own state.
1t has only been flate years
that this date has been set aside for
the celebration of the event, and
1t is well that not only ought we
to join in with the schools and
others, but every day should be
Georgia Day" with those who
love the old state.
The future for Georgia was
never so bright as now. We are
right in the heart of the rich. onIv
partly developed New South. We
rank first among the states east
of the Mississippi river, both in
area and the value of crops pro-
duced, and are fourth in produc-
tlon among all the state. We have
an abundant rainfall, evenly dis
Vributed throughout the wear.
which ENSURES ample moisture for.
all crops. We are fast developing
industrially. New enterprises are
being established and the outlook
for the years ahead from the view
point of factories from the New
England states, is excellent.
Besides these material assets.
Georgia offers what is far better;
non-sectarian schools, orthodox
churches, political and civic liber-
W, Wlde-awake and growing popul-
latlon, and a welcome in which
there is not a lingering taint of
sectional bitterness.
All in all, we are proud of the
progress our good state has been
making in recent years, and while
political strife has in years past
left black marks here and there
the storm over, we are destined
Tor greater things, and we speak
Tor this immediate section which
we know so well.

CARROLL CLARK; HIS
LIFE AN INSPIRATION.

The backbone of community de-
velopment is found in the strength
Of youth. Physical Drawn is the
strength that counts least in the
affairs of life. Mental and moral
strength both outweigh Drawn in
the last analysis of community
worth.
The man of brawn is a necessary
adjunct in the conduct of business
and the development of industry.
Yet Drawn is as a mighty oak in
the forest, felled by the elements
its great strength counts as moth
ing except by direction of a man
who thinks.
Men mentally and morally
strong really count. They are
the ones who, having courage, plan
and carry into execution great
projects which have for their end
community advancement. To such
men every community looks for
progress; to the efforts of these
can be traced every forward step.
To such men the community looks
for accomplishments worth while.
When such a man is cut off in the
very beginning of his greatest use
fulness, the loss is one shared by
all.
Such a man was Carroll Clark.

And tales where filth and lust run rife
Which some folks hail as ''true to life"

But neither is it all a sewer.
And so l frequently declare
That l can't bring myself to care
For dirt for dirt's sake, or FOR truck
That bathes, by preference, in muck.

The degradation of the mire,
But it's the fire-I beg to state
And not the mire that makes it Great.

By those who ride a garbage scow
And cry, "The world smells rotten, now

ZOELLNER QUARTET PLAYS.

March %.
The quartet. which is composed of
Joseph ZOellner. viola: his daughter.
Antoinette Zoellner. first violin, and
his two sons. Amandus Zoellner, sec
ond violin. and Joseph Zoellner, cello.
takes high rank along string quar-
tets because of the purity and refine
ment of its style of playing, and its
fine feeling for rhythm and nuances
of tone coloring. The four musicians
are born ensemble players.
The first number on their program
was the Quartet in b Flat, written by
the Australian composer. Alfred Hill,
on Maori Indian themes. The odd
rhythms and bizarre colorings of the
five beautiful themes, mark this quar-
tet in five movements as distin-
guished contribution to ultra modern
music of this type. The Grieg Son
alta for violin and piano. Opus Is, was
given a fine performance, with An
toinette Zoellner. violinist. and 10 ;cph
Zoellner Jr., pianist. The Rofodine
"Nocturne" was played with much
charm and poetry of Interpretation.
Extra numbers which were given as
encores, were Brangdon's "Humming

from Haydn's String Quartet. and
three movements from Schubert's
