THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1915.
Farmers Will be Helped.
An exchange thinks that the
outlook for the farmers of the
country is very much better by
comparison this year with their
condition a year ago. Floundering
about with no hope, and no
one to whom they might look
for assistance and aid in handling
their cotton crop, they were
indeed devoid of hope. That
was a year ago A great war
had just been declared, and the
markets of the world closed to
the South's money crop. No
one could offer a suggestion that
would help thein. But how
infinitely better it is this year!
The Federal Reserve bank has
been organized, and at its head
is a man of great common sense
who seems to be able to rise
above the sordid influences of .
the time, and who has the courage
of his convictions, and does
not hesitate to say to Wall street
that lie intends to help the farm- i
ers of the South to the extent of (
the resources of the Federal
Government. There will be no ,
sacrifices necessary this year.
The farmer need not sell his
cotton at ruinously low prices,
lie can hold it and get money to
pay his obligations. Secretary
McAdoo has offered as a starter
$30,000,000 to be deposited
in the banks of the South. The
South is recognized as a part of
the nation, and her money crop
must not be sacrificed. The
greed of the speculator can not
fatten this year on our crops.
One farmer with a cheap
automobile has more invested in
that one piece of mechanism
than the average rural community
as a whole has in its
public school plant; and the
owner of the auto frequently
spends as much 011 the upkeep
of his one car as the community
spends for the totaNmaintenance
of the school, including tlu

a number of significant comparisons
brought out by the Hon.
VV. F. Feagin, Slate superintendent
of education for Alabama, in
a survey reported to the United !
S'atos bureau of education.
""""~????
If we would not make any mistakes.
we would cither exhibit
ourselves in a dime museum as a
wonderful freak, or go directly j
to heaven as altogether unfit for
this imperfect mundane life.
But, thank fortune, we prove
our humanity by tl.c very mistakes
that we make. Every one
makes mistakes in his profession,
but the mistakes of a newspaper
editor are spread out for all to
Bee.
It takes a rich man to draw a
check, a pretty tfirl to draw
attention, a horse to draw a
cart, a porous plaster to draw
the skin, and a well displayed
advertisement in a newspaper '
to draw trade.
If marriage is a failure, Sol- :
omon evidently went on the (
theory that there is safety in 1
numbers.

One way we men folks can '
help the cotton industry is by ]
changing our shirts oftener. i.
Lfc: v
The Mighty War.
Generally speaking, at a time
like this when the whole world
is clamoring for news of the
greatest conflict the nations of
the world have ever been engaged
in; when people are neglecting
their local news, neg1

news; overlooking the beautiful.
appeals of their faithful writers I
who fain would have them read
things that pertain to their soul's
well-fare; when nation grapples
at the throat of nation; when
people throw aside all other
reading material, even neglect |
the Book of all books, and snatch .
up and scan eagerly the papers
for every bit of information concerning
the war; when we are
virtually sporting the wings of
time?it is difficult for us to
write anything of interest un-,
lets it be news, fresh from the
front, of the progress of the
mighty conflict.
So we come to speak of the
key-note of interest to the
American people?war. Ah! not
of the cruel and bloody worldastonishing
struggle now going
on in Europe; not a description
of how the Germans, with their
big 36-inch guns, took some impregnable
fortress or captured !
a vast number of prisoners; or of
the skillful manouvering of some
of the English generals. But j
we speak of the greatest strug- i
gle that the world has ever seen
or that time will ever see, the j
mightiest of the mightv, the
great struggle between right and
wrong, between good and evil,
the mighty conflict between God
and the devil.
A great aruiy of Christian
workers, encircled about by i
bright angels; full of patience, j
joy. confidence, wisdom and,

in a beautiful white robe, are
lighting against the devil and all j
his evil followers. A great battle
is raging, a strong and powerful
enemy confronting us, but ,
we have an infinitely greater
leader, and we can march
gloriously and victoriously onward
if we will only line up behind
Him and march to the battle
royal.
Germany is fighting her bat-.
ties with 36-inch guns, Jesus'
Christ is fighting His thru the '
Holy Spirit and God's Holy
Word. Won't you volunteer?'
Others have enlisted, why not j
you?
Never mind what your position
in this world may be. When you
enlist just remember Reynolds' ,
advice: "Valuable service con-1
si: ts in going deeply into the
realm of mind and assimrnilating
and using the spiritual energies
which involuntarily reject and
offset the destructive phases of
mortal thought. Every right
idea that radiates in our consciousness
works to destroy evil 1
in our affairs and in the affairs
of all those about whom we i
think as well as many about:
whom we do not think.
"To attain this consciousness
we must watch, pray and strive
to let humility, honesty, charity
and love be so present in our
thought that they will shine j
thru every deed. Then, whether j
or not we have attained official
recognition or position, we are
nevertheless performing a service
which is universal in its
blessings to all concerned. No
matter how humble one's place
in this woii 1 may be, there are
always mighty opportunities for
service." G. T. Windell
Ford Sending Out Checks.
Mr. J. L. Kimbrell, a well 1
known farmer of the Gold Hill j
com in unity, on Saturday re- J
ceivcd from the Ford Motor
company, of Detroit, a check
for $50, the same being a rebate
on a Ford car purchased by Mr.
Kimbrell last spring.
D will be remembered that
the Ford company made the
statement last year that if the
company succeeded in selling
300,000 Ford cars between
August 1st, 1014. and August,
1st, 1015, every person who purchased
a car between those
dates would get a rebate check
of $50.00. The sales exceeded
300,000 cars between those
dates, and the company is now
sending out the $50 checks. |
Check No. 1 went to Miss
Genevieve Morrison, of El Paso.
Texas, for she was the first
person to make a purchase on ,
August 1st. 1914.
