Tho ono important question hefprc tho people of this State now is as to tho reduction of tho cotton acreage, or tho total elimination of thu crop next year. Tho text of tho hill Intro duced by tho select committeo Monday provides for thc reduction of thc crop to nix acres to each plow. Now comos a dispatch from Columbia stating timi tho efforts now aro to have a bill to eliminate tho entire crop passed. Wo must confess to a bit of skepti cism as to the constitutionality of eith er of Utevo laws, and even If constitu tional, to tho expediency of thoir pas sago at Uits time. This la too radical a step and ono which we are sure the farmers themselves-wa mean the largo majority of them, tho small farmer-do not wish to have taken. Talk about Interfering with thc personal liberty of a man, wc would ask what ls Oils if riot taking away tho entire right of a man to do as he pleases with what Is his own. It would be a different matter if thcro wore sonto police regulation attached to this planting cotton, which would of ??_.?'. thc health or personal safety of tho pooplo of a community, but there is nothing injurious to tho health of a community in a largo crop of cot ton, and tho only person effected ls th? farmer himself who grows thc cotton. Then if it should prove legal and constitutional, would not the legisla ture have Ute same right to pass laws restricting other work. Why not then limit tho number of acres of corn ot oats, or the cumber of hogs or cow? a farmer should own? Why not ro strlct the number of pairs of shoes tho merchant shall sell, or tho number of papers Tho Intelligencer shall Issue oar?; nv ?ymg? Ar. a- farmer owing and paying taxes on my farm. I would want Ute right to plant any crop I please, arid as much or as little of it as I choose, and I would not think tho leglnlatnro hail any right to restrict mo in so doing. If my personal Interests would he bes*, served by planting 20 acres of cotton to each plow, then I would feel that I had a perfoct right to plant 20 acres. If I felt on Uto other hand that I should plant no cotton, thm I would feel that I ?houh1. have tho same right to plant no colton. ' In other words, I should want the right of eminent do main over my farm, and I would re sent any fnterferrence with Y.iat right voiwthor tx* if should bc by aa In dividual or a State. -/ Now, The Intelligencer feels that thlc viow ls one that will but taken by at least hine out of every ten farmers in tho cotton growing belt, and for the Simple reason that lt i., right, Gover nor Slaton, of Georgia, also a large cotton growing State, announced that ho would not call hts legislature to gether In special session because as a Isvrycr he TTOuld sot ask it to pass a law which ho considers unconstitu * ional, and which his Attorney Gen eral also considers unconstitutional. Governor Slaton Is not atone In tfats opinion, bat is hacked up by legal opin ion of other able lawyers. So, In our humble opinion, should the present e?ssl?n cf the legislature pass this law. it will mean a lengthy and er . pensive litigation to determino thc consUtutiancilly c? she Jajs. ami should lt be declared constitutional, thea endless litigation to (1??Q4fr-ifc: Wo seriously doubt Ute wisdom O&si?g; law attempting to legislate on the matter of cotton at Otis time. Halber than a law, let common sans? and tens?n dictate what the furnier shall flo in thin mutter.

Nancy Ann brooks gave her heart to Uod in early life and united witli thc Methodist church at Old Sundy Springs where her body was laid to rest In the cemetery, in the presence of a large assembly of sorrowing lricnds- She was ever faithful to lier church. ' While she did not pos sess as much of this world's goods as some, yet Bhe was the possessor of something fur more precious. She possessed a title to a. mansion in ne?yen, bequeathed to her hy h'-r Saviour whom she loved. Her life wu? n benediction. Her children will rise up und call her blessed. Her lmsbaud will miss her Hwcut counsel. Nancy Ann is gone, yet death ls thc gate that opens out of earth toward thu housu eternal in the heavens. We have lost her. but heaven gnlna her.

When standing by the death bed ol our lovwl ones with Btlfled grief, a teai dropped in silence often rlngn in heaven with a eound which belongs not to earthly trumpets or bells.

Thc ties that unite ua arc not broken, They uro too strong for death's Btroke. They ure ?rado for the Joya of sternal friendship.

OOOOOOOOOQOOOOOGO (b ORB?TUARY. o ooooooooooooooooo Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. MacDonald Fri day evening, October 3, and took away their darling little boy Lee. He had been sick only a few days with diptieria. Everything was done for the little sufferer, but God had planned that medical skill should not avail. Every thing that loving hands and good nurse could do was done for little Lee, but he passed over the river to join his little sisters who had ?one on before. While loved ones watched beside the bed of thc dying child in this moment of sacred stillness it seemed that the heavens opened to receive the spirit of little Lee, so sweetly, so peacefully it entered into its hea venly rest. The home is lonesome j .md sad since little Lee has gassed i away, the father and mother feel' that hopes have perished with the flower they cherished so with the faith and love of these found parents: We know they can say, Thy will bc done. We know the hearts of these loved ones, we point them to Him, who alone can give balm to wounded hearts such as these. Weep not, dear parents for God has plucked a bud to transplant in his garden of love, there#to mature and blos som for eternity. He hath but gone before to await your coming. This little boy was lent to his parents just two short,years, but in just those tender years which seemed to endear the little life to thc hearts of fond parents arid grandparents and friends. He was jusit at that age when the sweet little lips were beginning io speak the words loved ones so eagerly heard. I pray that his parents will go to him for comfort who doeth all things well. A FRIEND. _._Li Thoughts on the War By Mr?. J. J. FretwelL The year 1914 seemed the greatest in the worlds history. Finance commerce, literature the arts and sciences, inventions of the most marvelous, all combined seemed to make man indeed the greatest creation of God! En dowed with brain and brawn to cor.reive and carry into cxccu tion the niost gigantic and stupen dous ideas such as building and completing the Panama canal and making it one of the wonders of thc world, building aeroplanes and any number of other devices equally marvelous. The Prince of Peace seemed to veiid a migh ty influence over the entire world and contentment and happiness seemed to rei?n supreme-no dis agreements between nations was apparent, and great wings of Ihe Dove of Peace seemed to to reach out and take the world Linder its protecting care-Amer ica under a wise Democratic rule ivas prospering-all differences existing between the North and South were wiped out, and with the east and the west were pull ing together for mutual benefit. The summer was waning and men K'ere rejoicing in anticipation of the harvest, a realization of theil dreams of peace and plenty ivheri lo! in the twinkling of an eye the world was plunged into a Moody war. It seemed impossi ble with all the evidences of :pp.tc?i? and prosperity that be hind the curtain there was such liatred and before one could real ze the true status all was chang ed-seventeen million of men ire withdrawn from their labors rf helping the world and set to the business of destruction. They leave the plow, the saw, the pen md seize the rifle, the bayonet, the sword and the cannon". Homes are made desolate, wo men are widowed and made child less ( poverty and destruction everywhere-works of art that can never be duplicated, demol ished, commerce paralized. mills still, shops closed, banks barred, school houses empty and all of this horrible things following in the wake of war! lt is discourag ing that Christianity has not yet Christianized the world that even in this time of so much learnin?. so much progress that still men ire not satisfied, but in a spirit of greediness are reaching out to de stroy their fellow-man in order to have and to hold still more. Dh the greed! the sin of it-the wickedness, living in an enlighted ige, still going back to. the dark iges and thirsting for blood and sacrificing ' so much-nothing seems possible to clear the sky God's vengeance will surety be meiect out to the children of men md it will iake years to regain His love and blessings! Wc can Dnly sit and wait and pray God for mercy on us all! feeling thal after all we have fallen far short of what it takes to make an en: lightened people. That ignorance, hatred, greed are ungoverned and we are poor specimens of human ity. We should rejoice that our own dear country is "the home of the free and the brave" and should strive more than ever to make ourselves worthy and beg Him to send peace once again to all the nations of the earth!
