* *eorgia Governor Wins Seat in Sen- '
ate of United States.
Atlanta, July 12.-By a vote of 401 v
more than the required ma.jority of lb
the legislature, or a total of 155, Gov- a
Hloke Smith today was elected United
States senator, to fill .he unexpired
term of the late Senator Clay. At the
same time Gov. Smith mad1e it clear il
that he intended to continne to serve n
* as governor, at least during the life of 13
the present legislat'ure. s
Following Gov. Smith's announee- A
*ment that he would not ;;o to Wash
ington at once, to tak? he sea:, re- c
ports were current that Senator J. M.
Terrell, the ad interim appointee,
would resign at once, but this could N
not be confirmed.
In a statement after the election,
Senator Terrell is quoted as saying:
Terrell Says Job'u (one.
"I consider my term as United States
senator ended with the action of the R
gislature today. My commission on- 11
y dated until the convening of the
egislature, whch was to choose, a suc- in
cessor, and I do not feel that I have N
anything to resign from."
This view of the situation is not B
-( held by Gov. Smith,' who declares that N
he will not become the next .senator
rom Georgia until he presents his c
creentalsbefore that body.c
With thestlmeto h snt.e
al race interest has turned to the
)vernorship contest. Pressure is be
ig brought to bear upon ex-Gov. 11
rown, Gov. Smith's predecessor, to
?come a candidate. In addition near
a dozen others of the State are be
g mentioned as probable candidates.

have heard it spoken of and right
here we want to say that Prosperity
needs another new enterprise and that
is an ice plant at the cotton seed oil
mill. A town the size of Prosperity
surrounded by a thickly settled com
munity will consume a large amount
of ice during the summer months. Let
the town get busy, put in a plant and
keep the people cool during the sum
mer months with pure home-made ice.

I have frequently written about o
what a valuable asset kindness and o
courtesy were and how little they cost. to
I read the following in a paper a few tb
days ago, signed Edwin A. Nye, and to
this is only part of the article, but I th
think it is worth while passing on: e
"Courtesy and kindness cost nothing if
but a moment of time-a moment that rc
well may be spared for a smile and nE
respectful hearing to the oft reject- T
ed, weary an,d half despairing. tr
"Besides, Chickens come home to ia
roost. st
"The push you give some hapless cc
traveler on the dusty road will react g
on you. It must be so. And a kind
ness shown will come back to you in
blessing. It must be so." d
hi
That is my doctrine and I have been cc
preaching it for many years. You can't a
do a mean or dirty act unless it come
back to you at some time, some
where. A kindly deed will come back g'
some where at some time in blessing.
It is bread cast upon the waters. It
must be so. It is the compensation ti
of nature. You may walk around here is
with your head lifted-too high to h
notice the poor and unfortunate-too el
good and too groat and too busy to
stop long enough to say a kind or y
encouraging word to some poor fel- o
low who is in trouble-the compensa- h
tion will come to. you. Be tsure of
that. On the other hand kind words ti
and kind deeds are just as sure to
come back in some shape, at some
"Chickens come home to roost."
You have seen it in your experience.
Be sure of that, for it must be so. Did
you ever feel blue-like you would like v
to hear a kindly, sympathetic word s
and see a kindly smile. Well, if you
never did the time is coming when
you will, and the recollection of a c
kindly act done by you will be a
pleasant memory. Did you ever read
what Whitcombe Riley said about it. s
If not read it. It will do you good: ii

Somebody has sent me a copy of r,
the Laurens Advertiser in which I T
find the following: j
"The Idler," in The Herald and d:
N ews, brings up the Greenville to t(
Charleston highway, making a sug- pi
gestion that the automobilists contri- s;
bute a certain sum each to aid 'the g
work along. That is a good sugges- ha
tion, but we are somewhat pessimistic d
as to the large body of automobilists
contributing money for roads. They g
are very willing to talk about them p
and to blame the county officials for a
not working them, but when it comes
to putting down the cold hard cash toc
help the work along, their enthusaism le
abates. Like every other set or men,
there are exceptions and very fine ones.
A great many autoists would contri
bute both time and money for building
roads, but when it comes to the whole A
~body of them, it would be a hard prop
osition to get the ten dollars each.
The suggestion is a mighty good one,
though. If the autoists would fur- h
nish labor and teams, a great deal of a
good could be accomplished and the D
benefits would be as valuable to the ei
one as to the other. i
Somehow, I believe the Newberry al
autoists are going to help the move- w
ent for the highway from unares
n to Asheville. I know that human
ture is a very selfish thing and un
rtunately too many of us will not do
mething that will be of benefit to
trselves because it will also benefit
tr neighbor, but until I am convinced
the contrary I am bound to believe
at the Newberry autoists are going
help in this movement with an en
usiasm that will astonish themselv
and I know they will feel better
they do. The people along the
utes through Newberry, I am satis
,d, are interested and will cooperate.
21s is to be a great voluntary con
ibution to the interest and enthus
sm for better roads and to demon
rate what can be done by every one
ntributing his mite. Let everybody
:t busy. Do it now, is the slogan.
