WEDNESDAY. JULY 20, 1921
Cotton is not the only commodity j
that has gone down in price. Gasoline 1
has also dropped considerably.
=5 |
Various agencies are at work to improve
the cotton situatioi}. The cotton
business throughout the world is
showing some improvement though
the improvement is slow. c
s
It is a good time to begin planning j.
for a reduction in cotton acreage t
next year. Less cotton, more corn, c
peas, oats. That will mean more 1
ready money, more food and better ?
times. j
It is reported that Sergeant Alvin J
C. York, world war hero, is faced
with the" possibility of losing his farm ]
by the foreclosure of a mortgage. The |
farm was presented to him by ad- (
miring friends, or something over (
eleven thousand dollars was so pre- j
sented. The mortgage is said to be 1
something like twelve thousand. It
would have been wiser if he had been |
given a smaller farm and left with no j
debt. Few men have the ability to 1
work out a twelve thousand dollar
mortgage on a farm. It is possible, (
however, that the hero will find some (
rich man willing to come to his relief. <
It is said that York has steadfastly 1
refused to commercialize his fame. !
Motion picture and vaudeville offers j
that would have made him rich he has 1
turned down. That is to his credit, ^
we think. Some man with plenty oi j
money ought to pay the mortgage and (
set the hero free of the burden of i
debt.
Herbert Hoover is quoted as saying:
"The hard times that knock at every i
cottage door today, come from Europe.
No tariffs, no embargoes, no :
navies, no armies can ever defend us
from these invasions. Our sole defense
is the prosperity of our neighbors
and our own commercial skill."
It is the truth. But how are we to aid
Europe to get upon its feet? We
have loaned the nations billions, and
have not exacted payment of principal
nor interest. We have done much in
the way of charity to aid the peoples
who are starving. What is there that
we can do something that will be effective?
Many of the tribes and peoples
are still lighting among themselves.
Russia is past our aid. What
is there for us to do? If Mr. Hoover
will tell us what and how, we will be
under lasting obligation to him.

FAMILY REUNION
It has been the custom for the do:endants
of the late W. G. W. Going
o meet in a reunion of the family for
teveral years before his death at his
lome place, and on his birthday, yeserday
J.7th of July, was the annual
lay lor this gathering. It was an
deal day and a large host of his
lescendants gathered for the usual
elebration and picnic. One hundred
ind twenty-five children, grandchilIren
and great grandchildren, among
vhom was the Rev. J. T. Going, of
lorry county, this state, who preach:d
a very able sermon from the text,
!?rov. 4th C. 7 V.: "Wisdom is the
irincipal thing; therefore get wislom;
and with all thy getting get unierstanding."
After his discourse he called on
iny other member of the family that
wished to say anything.
Dr. J. G. Going responded in the
following short remarks. After
which the benediction was announced
ind a sumptuous picnic was served
which all enjoyed and were glad^
The fifth commandment, "Honor
;hy father and thy mother that thy
lays may be lAng on the land which
he Lord thy God giveth thee," con;ains
one of the greatest promises
that we have recorded in the Bible.
I'his is a day of which we all should
te proud. We have met here today
to do honor to one whose character
,ve are not ashamed of.
This, the 17 day of July, 1921,
irings us to the 97th mile stone of
time, the beginning of which came
upon this earth an individual which
moved and had his continual being j
for 92 years. Labored and always!
had the welcome plaudit well done at
the end of each duty. He was hunan,
and tired as others do, but never
flinched when the order was given to

go ahead, and when the journey iva?
completed there was no one that could
rive a just criticism of failure, iifo
always fought until the last support,
visible or invisible, was exhaust^,
This is the strata of man whose memory
we came today to perpetuate.
Why shouldn't we be proud of this
d?v? We would be degenerates and
unworthy should we be otherwise.
These people we see here today afp
his posterity, and his character and
intent in purpose should be emulated
by us. Should we emulate his motives
and deportment in life, these descendants
of his would be a factor in
tips country that the nation would
be proud of, and they would help to
preserve the integrity of this country
I on any occasion. ~ _
In the 10th chapter and fourth
verse of Proverbs we have it recorded
"He becometh poor that dealeth with
a slack hand, but the hand of the
diligent maketh rich." You can say
of the man, whose memory we honor
today, that he dealt with a diligent
hand. Yet he was neither rich nor a
pauper, but was a man that always
dealt with a diligent hand, and was
rewarded accordingly. If each one
of us could be assured that we would
be equally successful, the family in
time not far distant, would be possessors
of great riches.
But people, successful property
getting should not be our first motive,
"But, seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and His righteousness
This is one of the greatest
all these things shall be added unto
commands in the Bible, and when
obeyed will bring blessings that satisfy
the soul as well as supplying
bodily comfort.
After this is done we should seek
wisdom. Education changes the nature
of man. Think of the crude savage
and the well educated man, one
is at one end of the line and the
other is at the ofher end. Education
brings reason, and reason put inljp
execution will do more to obliterate
ignorance, and bring man up to a
high state of cultivation, tHutJ^any
other agency.
We should see to it that weloo
everything possible to develop the
minds of our children, so that their
talents will not be hidden away in
a napkin, and the capacity of service
obliterated. We should give
them every chance that their minds
r? .? V. :c?i J! * -

given abilities.
When we think of him who we are
honoring today, we should think of
his Rood deeds, and the few shortcomings
of his, if he had any, should
be buried in the sands.
Think of our own thoughts and
deeds. The proper study of mankind
is man, so says one of old.
Nothing truer was ever said. The
first thing we should do is to study
ourselves. Beginning with the greatest
sting the devil ever gave man?
selfishness. When we finish this subject
we will have gotten ourselves in
shape to do others good, and will have
laid the foundation for the proper
study of others. Selfishness narrows
the avenue of every great undertaking
wherever it manifests itself, aa*i
makes the ignorant masses live in a
state of turmoil.
The second evil we should rid ourselves
of if possible is sensitiveness.
This feature of our crude nature
causes more useless trouble and feeling
than we ever imagined. Twothirds
of the personal difficulties are
caused by sensitiveness. So let us
think well before we judge, for this
crude nature in man will lead us
wrong if we give it too much vent.
We should only be sensitive enough
to preserve our dignity and pride. In
conclusion let me say that none of
| us ever get too old for improvement,
| and above all educate these little
| ones.
