Heap, Big Man. - The biggest lot of humanity ever observed in one block in this man's town was seen in the city Friday last when a !K2-pound gentleman from Georgia strolled down Main' street and parked himself f%r a short time at the Hotel Koyal. As he passed, storekeepers and clerks hurried to the front doors to gaze jjpon the moving mass of humanity and for a -lunt while the pondrous man was the sole topic of conversation. It is said that when Julian (tiles, (he heavyweight clerk in the postoffiee, came to .the' front to give the big fellow the once-over he took cold" feet and" went home. It was also hinted that the gentleman was in the city for the purpose of securing bids , on a contract for the making of a summer suit of clothes, but the name of the successful bidder was not disclosed.

If We Arc Alive We Learn Something Every Da^. 1 1 is u i) fort una U' that when most of us think of education we- think of school, writes the editor of Type Metal, Philadelphia. The greatest fallacy, is. that the measure Of a man's, education is the number of years he has spent in" school. You do not have to go to school to become educSted. Life*is itself an education. The man who is really alive knows ; more today than he knew yesterday, j The best a school can do is to give ; us a schedule. The school can help us ! to organize, our study, to check our- , selves up, to hold our attention to a j fixed line. But if we do not desire to learn, the school can teach us nothing. J T)ie chief value of a school educa- j tion is that it relieves one of a false j sense of inferiority. In other words, it promotes confidence. Some of the biggest fools Ivknow| are college men. Some of the least J educated men I know are college men. They were exposed to education, but it , didn't take. Notwithstanding their j four years in col lege they, have - . mained uneducated. 'The school is simply a point of de parture. The best a school can do is to give one a taste, an appetite for the best things of life. The school can teach one how to study, how to read, how to analyze. Hut it cannot give one judgment, and that is. the reason this quality is so rare. Yet it would bo foolish to sUK'k'<,;t that education is not a good iinest mint. Whenever the average wajros of illiterate and educated people are compared, the figures show the high moiie> value of schooling. Patents should xriv<' their children ai the schooling they can afford or a.l 'he children will take. . What I hope to show :n this art .'t is that no one can lean back and justi fy hi* lack of pi ogress by the"*iack of si hool education.

If I am intellectually awake today it is f>ecause 1 chanced to read about ten years ago a book calied "Progress And Poverty" by Henry George Hen ry George was a printer, a typesetter. When he was writing this book out in California forty years ago he was living in. abject poverty. His wife was sick and he was borrowing money from his friends. -'Progress and Pov erty" is the most successful economic work ever published. Millions . of copies have been sold. When Henry Gecjrge died in 1879,, one hundred thousand people passed before his coffin and another hundred thousand were . prevented from doing1 so by the impossibility of getting near it. This book woke me up. It did mo more gxxxl than all the years I spent in school. When I had finished "I'ro. gress and Poverty" I was a different person than when 1 began it. That is the way with books. "Pro gress and Poverty led me to read scores of books on economic subjects. I was led to see business as a great institution, instead of just a pretty job of buying and selling. Some people are wakened up by great novels; others by poetry; others by biographies. Some find inspira tion in Shakespeare and the Bible. Abraham Lincoln had just a few books in his youth, but fortunately he had the right books. And what an account he gave of his reading! With almost no schooling, he learned to speak and write so well that his letter to Mrs. Bixby about the death of her six sons in the war is graven on the walls of a college at Oxford Univers ity as an example of one of the purest and finest expressions of thought in the Knglisly^language. Too many of us get the idea we know all we nfced to know. This is a mistake. N'o man knows so much that he cannot learn more. No man is earning so much that he cannot earn more if he knows more. The man who thinks he knows all there is to know about his job is al ready in his coffin and six feet of earth have been thrown in. The man who opens his mind to knowledge is on his way to a better job and to a keener enjoyment of life. If you keep your mind open it will keep you young, and if you keep mind young your body will keep younvf The trouble with most of us is thAt we *et married and have two or three children, and then up mentally die. We get up in the morning, go to< work, home, read the paper, take ->?T our shoes, and go to sleep. Feed your mind with new ideas. The public libraries are filled with books, which you can have for the asking. * j 1 am fairly busy. 1 am at my office right hours a day. and I think I am just as tired when I go home at night , as any of the men who work in my j plant. But after I have eaten dinner I begin to f??l all right again. - I al ways have four or five books arowvi. I read for an hour or so out of one, and then I ptek up a second. I refuse to reifd any book just be cause I think i ought to read it. 1 in*" Hbt on reading books that are inter est i iik to me at the time 1 read them. One book I can particularly recom mend to young men. Like that othe.' masterful U?ok i ituml .totted, this U?ok was also, written by a printer. It is the '.'Autobiography of Henjamin Frank iin".^ If you have not read this book 1 advice you to got it and read it du* ring the next month. Kach day I rwil ize how little. 1 know but one. thing I do know, and that is, that to be succesful in any business one must employ good men, and good men are workmen who kfiow their jobs and take an interest in their work. These are the men who have steady employment the year round, in good times ai*I bad times. The slip shod, devil-may-care fellows are the first to be laid off "and the last to bo hired. I ha\?f reserved my most important thought for the last few lines. Do you know that we are all judged by our worst work? It seems that anybody can turn out a good job with fair regularity, but it is the man who^ rings the bell day ?fter day, month after month, who reaches the top of the ladder. ? j ?' There will come many1; times when you will feel that you are getting the "short end of it". The only, euro for this feeling is the determination not to lot it interfere with your ambition to reach your goal. As -I size it up, on* quality is par ticularly necessary to success in any thing, and that is the ability to stand grief, to take punishment. The higher up you go the more pun? ishment you' must train yourself to qtand. I don't suppose there ever was a journeyman who was promoted to foreman who didn't wish now and then that he could drop back, and again live the easy life of a journey man. And when a man gets to be sup* orintendent the foreman's job looks mighty easy. 1 But don't get discouraged. You know how you like to see a lighter Nvho can take punishment. Determine you will take punishment yourself; refuse to quit, keep on trying and you will succeed. Mayor Goes To Prison. Charleston, May 16. ? ii. V. Bray, now Mayor of Beaufort, who was con victed in Federal court here in June, 1922. on a charge of striking a United States tax examiner and was sentenc ed to serve a year_aml_ii day in the Atlanta Federal prison and pa$' a fine of $1,000, has reported to United., States Marshal I.

Promoted by some secret cause of bitterness known only to equine minds, two horses, both attached to light wagons, last night engaged in a (fuel at the corner of two business^Rtreets in Sa^ vannah, and so desperately did they fight that one was killed.
