Ala. where he was born in March, 1861. to dig out an education. What he couldn't dig out he'didn't i!et. He wanted to be a singer but the nearest he came to realizing that am bition was a job peddling song books in North Caro lina He wanted to play the piano, so a firm in Ra leigh put him on a one-horse wagon and sent him out to demonstrate their instruments from a wagon bed. At 25, Charlie Tillman was back in Alabama. He would sing for his father at his revivals. While sing ing at the little town of Cuba, in 1886, something struck the prodigal piano salesman. He closed his song book and went down to the altar. From that day on, Charlie Tillman knew where he stood. Come what may, he would spend the rest of his life sing ing and preaching like his evangelist father. The following year Charlie Tillman published his first song book. Twenty more were to follow. In 1891. at bis home in Atlanta, a Baptist preacher gave him a poem He set it to music and started the world Chorus. ‘Tij thf cld-t me religion, 'Tis the old-time religion,’ 'Tij me old-time religion, It s good e r cugh for me. *cs good for Paul ond Silos, If was good for Pool ond Silos, >»os good for Pout ond Silos, It s good enough for me weeks at the World Convention of Christian Work ers. For a quarter of a cjntury Charlie D. Tillman sang all over America for such evangelista- as the famed Sam Jones. In 1927 he published, on request, the "Day School Singer" for Georgia and South Carolina public schools. Nobody knows how many gospel aongs Charlie Tillman wrote. He never kept count of them. Nor did he ever have any musical training. For his "little success," he said, he gave "God all the glory.” .While passing through South Carolina, In 1891, Charlie Tillmin heard a group of Negro worship pers chanting a lilting melody that struck him. Back in Atlanta, he wrote some lines to go with the tune and published them in one of his books. The singing evangelist died in Atlanta in 1943. Perhaps not everybody in America has heard of him. But nearly everybody, if not everybody, has either heard or joined in the 1 singing of "The Old Time Re ligion.'* Motes me love everybody, Motes me love everybody. Motes me love everybody.

Rembert Truluck Bulletin-Hugh Jacobs Rembert Truluck George Frady Harry Lay- Probably never has there been such a barefaced attempt to use public funds to destroy small business as that made recently in Minnesota. • • • In that state, one Byron G. Allen, commissioner of agrirnl- tnre, sent ont a letter with a credit card enclosed to over 200.000 teach ers, educators and state cm- ployees urging “ them to use the enclosed cards to patronise some 83 coop- 'a era live gaso-^^^^EPflw ^ line stations. N \ * * • In his letter. Commissioner c7^V. Harder Allen said “Under the basic law creating our Department of Ag riculture, Dairy and Food, we are changed with aiding, abet ting and promoting the coopera tive movement.” * * * As a matter of fact, the state official took the stand that he has a sworn duty to promote co operative business. * * * • Thus, a public official, paid by taxes, paid in part by independ ent R^iline station operators, uses to promote the ruin of those independent op erators. • * • This eould very well be railed economie cannibalism. • * « As is well known, cooperatives enjoy huge tax advantages over their independent competition due to the law that was set up to meet special circumstances, ooo When federal and state laws were set up for cooperatives, it was the intent to help farms throw off the yoke of farm commodity speculators who bid up and down prices to suit their profits. By enabling far---' v enter into (T Sulartl Fe' iert Futio'tt By C WILSON HARDER the business of selling their own rrops, building suitable storage facilities, et al. a more orderly marking procedure was intended. But it was never Intended thst this law* with Its tax advantages, would permit any group to de stroy free enterprise. 0 0 0 On several occasions, the na tion's independent businessmen, voting through the National Fed eration of Independent Business, have gone on record as favoring measures which would put co operatives on the same tax basis gs independent operators. * • * There are many in Congress who favor such legislation. After all. it would stop the leak of bil lions in taxes. • * * Commissioner Allen's action dramatically points up the need for such legislation, as without such measures, there is no pre diction of where bureaucrats with his turn of mind can push American free enterprise. * * * As to be expected, the local Minnesota businessmen affected by this direct mail campaign at public expense are planning to light, on a purely local basis. * * * Yet. there seems to be a basic issue here that probably deserves national attention. A fire in any home in a block is of concern to all who live on that block. • * * And if Commissioner Allen is successful in using public office in Minnesota to destroy indepen dent enterprise, there is no pre dicting how far the prairie fire can spread, because if a state official can promote cooperative service stations, what’s to pre vent these same officials from promoting cooperative grocery stores, dry good stores, hard ware stores, or any type of busi ness that exists. It does not seem the visciousness of this move can be underestimated.
