o
The Meaning of Hard Times.
The prophet says, "Wherefore doth
a Ijvlag man complain, a man Cor
/
News Depar
Conducted by \V. Ellis Bethe;
the punishment of his sins?" It
comes to pass that we are complaining
against something. With some it
is a complaint against God for chastising
sin. With some it is a complaint
ugainst existing conditions; for
there be some who recognize God
in nothing; while others see Him in
everything. But the prophet complains
ugainst us for complaining
against God. And the ground of this
complaint is the false supposition
that we are innocent and do not deserve
the hardships of life. It Is true
that some are more guilty than otheis;
but if you ever stumble over
an innocent man, please let the world
know it; for such a person we certainly
would like to see. What a
curiosity he'would be! Of course the
better class of people suffer with
the worse class; but their suffering is
entirely different in nature. If a real
good man stands in need of the
things of this world, still he is rich
in hope and faith and love and peace
oi mind and forgiveness and justification
and sanctification and, finally
glorification. Meanwhile he enjoys
the consciousness of having a
clean heart and pure hands, made so 1
by God's grace. But what has a godless.
hopeless, ehristless, desperately
wicked andunforgiven sinner left, if '
he has nothing for time or for eter- 1
ity? Even if he has money, it is just
a source of care and worry and anxie- 1
ty and trouble, lest he lose his only '
possession. Our minds make us rich 1
or poor. U is not what we need that
makes us miserable, but it is the uev- 1
it dying "want" that makes us mis
crable. If this world was as well of :
mentally and snirinmitv it i= t
terially, we would not be in!'
a very bad state. Things are 1
not going to the "dogs" unless we \
want them to go. But if we <1? ll?t 1
:orae to our senses, repent of our|>ns
and ijuit our meanness, recognize 1
the hand of God in our affairs, the '
[irst thing you know this world will 1
so plunged into revolutions and a 1
var that will bring us to our senses. c
for the nations that forget God will *
>e turned into hell?saith the Scrip- %
ures. *
We are not only a gang of in- '
jrates, but a pack of first class fools '
?believing all kinds of rot because '
so called scientists have declared that "
.^ vuuiu nul Haw a. iamine in this
ountry. Why ihis world could per- ''
ah for want of water or food in six ?
nonths should a kind Providence
ust turn loose insects enough to deitroy
everything we had or could get.
'rovidence has only placed us in a
lose place that we may be conscious 0
d our wickedness and recognize the
iand that feeds us daily. If we stop
o think of what we deserve and what
re have, probably our grunts and
nouns will be turned into song and }
;ratitude and repentance toward God, j
f you tielieve in such a person! If '
on do not believe, that in no wise
uakes God any the less Lord of Cre- ^
tion! And your infidelity will only
nake things worse for yourself and
ithers. I do not expect to quit workug
'because times are supposed to be 's
tard. No. that is just a spur in my '
ide to go forward in the field and ^
11 the chruch. We are all in the same
ondition, some worse and some bet- .
er off than others. But put your ^
1st to your job and your faith in God (

he belief that He will not forsake "r

iubjects for the asylum and jail, with j j.
worthless husbands and worthless ^
wives, with children that are dis-1A
gracing them, with dirty beds to j}
sleep In and cold feet; added to all j't
this?churcliless and hopeless andi
Christless?these are the subjects of (
pity and sorrow; but not you! All ,
of these things are not an accident,
but the outcome of crime and sin (
that are absolutely unnecessary; for (
the majority of real suffering, we
assert is positively not among the
Cod-serving and Christ-loving people
but among the criminal class who
spend their money for sensual pleasure
and give the balance to court
houses and lawyers to save their ;
necks. They are the poor people who
have lost two worlds at one time. If
you could only Induce them to take
a good bath in a borrowed tub, induce
them to put on a washed suit of
clothes and go one Sunday among intelligent
and religious people and
see what life really is, then they
would realize> as we all must why It
is that makes life looks so gloomy
and dark and hopeless! Think of It:
a heated church for the body, a comfortable
seat in which to rest and a
helpful sermon about God and Heaven
and health and happiness?all
free! But, alas, alas. they seem to
love hell on earth! And then grumble
about poverty and hard times!
In the Northern states they give
these people food to eat and clothes
to wear in order to get them lined up
with work and worth and religion;
but after they fill up they forsake
the very church that fed them! It is
the business of the church not to feed
beggars, but to give them an idea of
life that will make them cease to be
beggars. Let the world become religious
and charity will die out; for
\
\
tnrtent.
a
those who once begged Will work
and give and praise God from whom
all blessing flow. What are you grumbling
about.' says the prophet. This
is God's chastisement for sin. Quit
that business of sinning and you'll
have no complaint, saith the Lord.
Stop grumbling, go to church and
get to work, and things will change;
for the country has not gone to thev
dogs but, as a nation, we are still
rolling in wealth. E. C. Bailey.

A UOOD NEKiHBOR.
If some of our ancestors were to
ome back to earth, those good old
lospitable people, they'd want to
;new what's the matter with these
nodernists. Why a good neighbor is
letting to be a rare thing in this
forld. And it often happens that we
re not good ourselves and that's the
eason why the're no better than they
re. If I want to be the whole cheese
kin and all, I have no right to exieet
people to be loving, and petting
ne. Bad neighbors reduce the price
if land and increase the cost of livng
and keep everybody in a stir.
)nce a man was asked what he
bought was a good neighbor. He
aid "A good neighbor keeps his
dace neat and clean; will go out of
lis way to do you a favor; will lend
ou any ordinary thing (not atitomo>ile
or fine horse) you want to borow,
if you'll bring it back in good
irder; will keep the chickens, if posiible
out of your yard and garden or
emunerate you for the damage done;
vill not be too curious about those
vho come to see you; they are not
ill ears and eyes and mouth about
.he affairs of your house; they are
areful not to repeat what they hear
'roni y<TU or about you; they try not
o disurb you with their noise and
make the children stay at home exit
pt when invited; they will exchange
grub and compliments; invite
you to a meal and give you what they
can afford cheerfully. In a word,
they practice the golden rule and only
ask that you do the same. That i?.
treat me, under all circumstances,
just as you want me to treat you."
The good neighbor will not take advantage
of your kindness, but reciprocate
it. You feel at home with
a good neighbor and enjoy visiting
him. He will divide expenses in general
improvement where both are.

HARD TO BEAT THE WEEVIL*
Native Dillanite, Now Georgia Resident,
Says Weevil Will Get Vs.
a
Dillon Herald:?Last Friday on arrival
of the morning 'train several
men in this little city met at the postoffice
for their mail.
My Herald was in my box and always
comes first for I think it is the
best county paper between here and
North Carolina.
I hurriedly glanced over the pages
and saw much space was devoted to
the discussiou of the boll weevil. I
called attention to some gentlemen
and remarked that the weevil was oc
cupying the attention of my home |
county just now. But some thought1
cotton could be grown any way. Some !
cue spoke up and says "yes, that's
what we said and all fools say, but
very likely they will find out."
I then called their attention on
front page where a farmer of Siloma,
Ga., who had grown a good crop of
cotton by keeping chickens in the
fields to destroy the weevil, and
these men were about to push me off
to Dillon at once to sell chickens.
These men are convinced there is
nothing on earth to destroy the weevil.
I promised last week I would tell
ycu what these people did to overcome
the loss sustained from this
bug. However. I fear I hnvp nnt
made 'my position plain in telling the
facts as they happened here in South
Georgia and I want it understood
fully that I base every statement on
what I have seen and know to bo
tiue here in this section and I do not
know what advantage the cooler climate
of Dillon county will have over
[this section, but surely there will be
some difference in your favor.
We have had a few very cold days
in the past five years. I have seen the
land freeze and water pipes burst,
but the bug lived.
I know a Dillon county boy who
had purchased a little farm and built
a nice little bungalow in Coffee county
when the weevil \vas> just beginning
to put in his work here. This j
young man knew how to cultivate |
tobacco, got busy building barns. After
his barn was about half completed
there come an unusual freeze.
This young man was crowded with
his work and feeling sure that the
cold freeze had made away with his
enemy he left off his*tobacco barn
and turned his attention to preparing
his land for another cotton crop.
But in a few days his neighbor came
over with a handfull of the frozen
bugs and after keeping them by a
warm fire a few minutes the weevil
moved and soon was crawling in every
direction. The Dillon county boy
left off cotton and completed his
tobacco barns..
I came to Broxton, Coffee county in
1014. At that time we had no weevil.
Cotton was all the go and I saw a bale
grown to the acre with two hundred
pounds of cheap grade fertilizer. I
saw Clem Day of Broxton gather a
hale per acre where he only used 200
pounds of r.n 8-2-2, and this after a
crop of oats. However, our soil is
built up and kept up with velvet
beans, cow peas and other soil builders,
and just here let me say it is a
sad mistake for the Dillon farmer to
strain his land to the limit growing
cotton and plant nothing to help his
soil. It is a fact that I regret but have
to admit, that Dillon, the leading agricultural
county in the south is so
slow to adopt this much important
part of their 'crop and plow up the
land in the spring naked and so clean
and destitute of any plant food whatever,
and rely on fertilizer to supply
everything at a cost too heavy to be
borne. And then these soil building
crops will feed more cattle and hogs
than you will care to keep all through
the winter months. Then you need
standing markets for live stock.
But the weevil'is my subject now.
When I came to this section gins
were running all over the country.
Some gins were kept going all night
and day and farmers were looking for
cotton pickers and often at the break
of day many wagons were standing
in the neero Quarters readv to oarrv
every one that could pick cotton to
the fields in the county, but these
days are gone and most of the gins
are standing idle. Many stand year
in and year out and not a wheel
turns over.
Very likely most of The Herald
readers know this was a great long
staple cotton section and that Valdostat
Ga., was the leading staple cotton
market In the world, but if there is
an acre of long staple grown in South
Georgia now, I do not know It. The
weevil did away with this variety all
together. I don't think it is possible
to grow a hundred pounds in seed per
acre.
I think the advice given In The
Herald good and If you will plow under
alj old stalks, stubbs and trash
foi the winter freeze^ then burn all
ditch banks, hedges and wood land
near the field possible. Do not leave
any old stumps covered with trash and
Ar^r^A ~Ai a ?
u^aumuuuink iiees wnn earn or loose
eap?the best place for winter quarters,
but if you will look after this
winter cleaning and If ic is a dry,
fruiting season you' will very likely
make two thirds of a crop, but on the]
other hand if it' be wet at fruiting
time, judging from what I see here,
you won't make cotton enough to
pay taxes and the preachers. Again
I say take warning; the future looks
gloomy for Dillon county. [

Seeing the Earth Move.
With a bowl of water and some
powdered resin one may observe the
earth's motion, we are told by' S.
Leonard Bastin in The Scientific American
(New York.) It is commonly
supposed, says Mr. Bastin, that it is
not possible to demonstrate the movement
of the earth 'without elaborate
apparatus, which is far from being
the case. He goes on:
"In the first place select a room
that is fairly' free from vibration.
Then obtain a good-sized bowl or tub
a foot or more In diameter and rather
deep, and nearly fill It with water.
Place this on the floor of the room
in such a position that it need not
bo disturbed for some hours. Get
SOine finelV DOWderPft rosin nnd onrln.
kle a coating of this on the surface
of the water. Any fine substance that
would float and not be dissolved for
some hours would do as well. Next
secure a little coal dust and sprinkle
some on the top of the resin in a
straight line from the center to the
circumference. Carry this line up over
the rim of the bowlt and make it
broad enough to be clearly seen ?
say about an inch in width. The bowl
may now be left for several hours, at
the end of which time it will be noticed
that an Interesting thing has
happened. It will be seen that the
line on the surface of the water has
changed its position and that it no
longer meets that which runs up over
the rim of the bowl. As a matter of
fact the black line on the surface of
the water has swept around from east
to west. What has happened is this:
The water in the bowl has stood still
throughout the time which it has
been left, while the vessel itself has
been carried around bj- the motion of
the earth from west to east. Another
v ay of putting it is that the earth
has swung arouud through a considerable
arc from west ro east, leaving
the water quite stationary."?Literary
