Well, the way from all the comers, to stop hearing about North Carolina is to help give Georgia such a big jump in every way, that everybody Much has been said about the burden of taxes in the upper ^ townships, and less about the talk about Georgia. And of course i j the lower townships, it can be done.

And that can happen. It all depends on Georgians. A Fa.blc ONCE upon a time there was a fellow who lived in a room that was too small for him to take his morning exercises in. He couldn't stretch up, nor sideways. Without his exercises he couldn’t accomplish the things in the world he wanted to. One day he became angry at the little room and he reached up both his arms and he pushed right through the ceiling, and he reached out sideways and pushed through the walls, and when he had done this he walked out into the world feeling like a conqueror. And thenceforth he began to accomplish the things he wanted to. For some time The Pilot has been promising to enlarge that it might better serve the community. We felt cramped. We didn't have room to do the things we wanted to do. And the other day we became angry. And we pushed up the ceiling and we pushed out the walls, and here we are, bigger than ever before, six-columns v.ide instead of five, more room for news, more room for advertising, more space in which to tell the world what a wonderful part of the country we are living in here among the Sandhills. Today we are Bigger than ever. We have breathing space. And now that we have attained our growth we can devote our energies to becoming Better than ever. A newspaper is an important part of any community. It reflects the business and social life. It is the mirror in which we see ourselves, the window through which others see us. A good newspaper is, therefore, an asset. The Pilot aims to be an asset. It bespeaks your coopera tion. It invites your constructive criticism, your sugges tions for its greater service. Our banner on the front page reads: A Newspaper Devoted to the Upbuilding of the Sandhill Territory of North Carolina. Let us build together. n H ♦♦ ♦♦ n «♦ s
