"LET NOTHING DISCOURAGE
YOU—NEVER GIVE UP"
"Let nothing discourage you, never
give up," was a motto taught the
children of Williamston High School
recently by Hon. William L. Lpshaw,
of Georgia.
In reviewing his own life's history
and recounting the struggles he had
overcome, the youth of 1 the school
was able to see the need and im
portance of work. I'pshaw was born
in Atlanta, but his fattier, who had
a vision which reached higher than the
lights of the city, took the boys to
the country where they plowed and
worked the farm.
Upshaw says that while he plowed;
the old mule, "Hannah," he studied
the things of nature and made speech
es to the old mule-—and to Congress,
in his mind.
It was while hauling wood one day
that young Upshaw fell and hurt his
back and had to live in bed five years,
during which time he studied and pre
pared himself for such work as he
might be able to do. As soon as he.
was able to travel uTU rolling chair',"
he began lecturing. His efforts along
this line were crowned with great suc
cess, his speeches were both enter
taining and full of truth.
At thirty-one Congressman l'pshaw
entered college, completing his col
lege course, he still followed his pro
prams. He was called by his people
of the Atlanta, or Fifth Georgia Con
gressional district, SB" tlfeir represen"
tative in Congress, where he has serv
ed four terms.
The motto, "Let nothing discourage
•you—never ifive up,' 1 is bis ii|. ;i of
success. The fellow who dodges the
hard lessons or the heavy load or who
fails to do his duty will never reach
the right goal.
The "entire speech of the Congress
man was good sense, spiced with fun.
and made a great hit with the faculty
and 40(1 children who listened atten
tively to one of the be.,t speeches they
ever heard. ,
GERMANY AT LAST SEEMS TO BE
READY FOK PEA* E
Germany has at last swept away
the war clouds by the adoption last
week of a real peace article, which
means that Germany does not expect
. . _ ■ . '» ■ — '*■■■■'
to be saved by imperialism in the
future, as It recently did while living
under the dominion of the "blood em
peror," but rather wishes to live un
der the banner of peace and gotid will
to all mankind.

Month, Relieved by
BUck-DraofhL
Lawrenceburg, Ky.—Mr. J. P.
Kevins, a local coal dealer and tar
mer, about two years ago learned
of the value of Thedford's Black-
Draught liver medicine, and now
he says:
"Until then I suffered with se
vere bilious attacks that came on
two or three tlmea each month.
I would get nauseated. I would
have dizziness and couldn't work.
"I would take pills until I waa
worn-out with them. 1 didn't seem
to get relief. After taking the pills
my bowels would act a couple or
three times, then I would be very
constipated.
"A neighbor told me of Black-
Dranght and I began its use. f
never have found so much relist
as It gave me. I would not be
without it for anything.
"It seemed to cleanse my whole
system and make me feel like new,
I would take a few doses —get rid
£r the bile and have my usual clear
sad, feel full of 'pep' and could
do twice the work."
