Dr. John K. While, pastor of the Second Ihiptjst rhurch, wax down on the program to deliver an address on the subject of “Evolution and Ortho doxy.** and In an Informal manner he presented his view* on the subject. “No Intelllirent. reasonable man, said I>r. White, ‘can deny that there are chances and developments ffnlna on In the world all the time, and to this extent we are all evolutionists. The primary foci* laid down by Darwin are facts, ami we cannot afford to butt our heads attain*! the wall of such truths. "The Idea that evolution and Chris tianity cannot go hand In hand Is no longer pretatent. The materialistic evo lutionists believe In evolution, hut they lose sight of the Iteglnner of ull things, the creator of the protoplasm, which their own theories establish us the be ginning. "On the other hand, thelstlc evolu tionists are as much Christians as any body. I nead but point to the preeldanta of some of our big denominational In stltutlons to prove this. They recognise the facts of evolutions and they show where then was a God—why there must have been a God, a creator 'along and behind of all development. They see the true relation of too facts and our faith." Dr. Landrum followed Dr. White with an address along the asms line. It which he denounced the "Ignorant, par. scrutiny orthodoxy which hurts rtdl rule, abuse and vituperation at any' body who gives facts which disagree with lu erroneous pre-conceptions of the Bible snd religion." Dr. J. L. D. Hlllyer took exception to that part of the theory of evolutionists. from a monkey and the like, viously Dr. White and Dr. Landrum. "We will have to rtd evolution of Ite exaggerations and trim It down Ip other ware," he concluded, "before wa an accept It In our theology." Itev. C. K. W. Dobbs, of Marietta, and Iter. J. W. Millard also took pqrt In llie discussion. WALKER, OF SPARTA, TO CONTROL FUNDS ■ FOR ASSOCIATION Hnn'io Jordan Appoint* Him Chairman Finance Committee.

Dr. NunnaJly** addraex wee so packed with keen wit. food sense and central Information that It te herewith given In full: My appearance la thle role Is sur prising to some, but when the inci dents of my early life are known It will not aeem strange. I um only .get ting back to my native heath and once more playing about iny cradle rtm. was born on a farm—rocked and some times thrashed between the rows of com. The barn yard wus my play ground, the fodder loft the place fot 'bide and seek." the spring branch supplied the oft-frequented “wash- hole" and the shuck pen the treasure house when tho hen* layad and the young chicks were hatched—end they were sacred birds and had no fears of tho knife until "meeting day" rolled i.round,or until th J preacher earns. My flrst comrades were the little niggers and the calVes and pigs. .My first pets were a motherless lamb anil a pup, the gift of a neighbor. We all thereafter appealed to the same breast or bottts for nourishment. And while you could always distinguish the lamb—It wus sometimes difficult to tell which was the boy and which was the pup. My First Work. The niornlBf catti come early In Hfe and every time when the (Inkle of cow bells was heard In the meadow my eager feel sought the calves—and to •keep them off" while the milking was going on was a gladsome task. The rose-tinted dawn found me at break of duy on the path to the pasture to feed the sheep. And later the plow and the hoe unit the heavier fob of the farm and field frll to my share. —Such- dlsi Ipllne gave me health and muscle and skill with common tools and some science. It wee belter than sanitarium or a gymnnstum. unit mingled with the blessing was the prof itable fruit of honest loll. To some cultured folks such recol lections would lei painful, but to me these are the glad duys, the proud days of my life—the oasis In the desert olh. erwisc a barren existence. fords such visions of culture and com fort and refinement and high and heavenly Ideals. Farms Alee Grow Men. Need I say more to commend the calling of the agricultural Intereels uf a people? If so, rrmember that things of vaster worth than corn and and cotton and wheat and pigs and cows are reload on the farm. The record shows thst It also grows a har vest of men—men ripe In wisdom, strong In power, fresh in heart and practi cal In life. The men who today masters of finance, heads of bureaus, managers of great enterprises, men who control millions and direct armli and hold the destinies of republics, who are the bone and bruins and brawn In world-wide movements, suet' men came from the farm. The open-air, the wooded hills. I he discipline of the field, the training of (he ccuintry home, (he habits of the simple life, ell these have fltted them for mastery und for the thrones of power. The farm must still send In the harveat of men civilisation and government will suf- fer.

The rath»»r we should flnd not the line of cleavage between enterprises ness and our growing belt Is pregnant with human greatness. From our farms the food that feeds the world and from our homes the inen to control the world must come. And all of this South land, so superior In soli and climate and men. Georgia Is the garden spot, the richest area in the great world that God haa made; richest In Its rare com bination of adaptation to all kinds of production and In the universality and Intensity of the pure blood of its citi zenship; such nre our naturul advan tages. The possibilities of the Georgia farm are beyond the conjecture of her people. The future wlH show marvels of growth and greatness both material and mental, of which the historian has as yet made no records and of which the far-sighted prophet as yet has had no adequate vision. But Net Yet Attained. With such possibilities It ts a shame that the present presents only partial prosperity to reward the farmer. It Is the part of wisdom to pause and nsk why have we not prospered ns other Industries. A recent compilation of statistics will show that the manufac turer. the banker, the merchant, tire mine operutor and the ratlmnd mag nate have vastly Increased In wealth and power, white the farmer has gained but little und comparatively Is poorer and weaker than lie was forty years ago. True, compared with himself, he has made great progress, but several years ago be stood second In wealth, today he has fallen to flfth place. It Is u serious question and Us proper answer means millions to the sons of mu und the knights of the plow.

The farmer who * tends aloof from all efforts at co-oper ation. 1s simply preparing a carcass for the vultures, and spreading a feast for the beasts of prey. Make Fefohidz. We should get the tHendshlp of all silled Industries. All honest laborers are kin, and the farmer's kin consti tute an Immense fomlly. The Interests, the honest, legitimate Interests of the merchant and hanker and manufac turer are all Interwoven with the best welfare of the farmer. When brought down to Its last analysis and followed to Its logical sequence the prosperity of the farmer megjui prosperity for all others and the depression of the farmer means hurt and harm to all the others.

We should extend a hearty godspeed to all societies and unions and schools that are striving to better the produc tive. social and financial condition of the farmer The ends we aim nt are Identical, our movements should be mutually co-operative, though each striving by Its. own peculiar methods, we are trying to reach the same ' prom ised land," but are traveling by differ ent roads.

Admitting that we have n<it luid a Just share of the great pros perity, let us find the cauae, discover U*»» curs and apply the remedy. We do well sometimes to study our fail ure* and analyze our disasters, nnd out of these failures nnd blunders construct « stairway on which we may rise to it proper level with nil the others xvho arc climbing toward a worthy but a hard earned prosperity; consider the advantages which others had specially provided for their use and see what method* they employed to reach the coveted prize. Causes Thst May Ba Rsmovtd. In scverhl of the other callings there hate been special favors In the form of law that made existence certain nnd success easily attainable. The tariff laws udded to the productive and prof, liable power of the loom and furnace. Monopolistic privileges and exclusive franchises were granted to many In dustries. But the law beamed with no spwlal^ fsvor on the field—did not In crease productive capacity or secure monopoly of the market. By agitation and political pressure correct these ad- verse legal provisions; demand equal right* to all and special favors to none. The infant manufacturing Industries might have needed government help In their early years, but they have grown to be giants now and In not iP few instances have become ferocious ami greedy, and they demand. In Im perious tones, that the paternal gov ernment shall keep the swill tub full of mush while they feast and faten. 1 need not argue this question. U. Is simple. The farmer furnishes the swill In paying the tariff, and the hog grows fat. hut refuses to be butchered. By your ballot turn the faucet and with a sharp edge of your vote bring the fat ting t«* the slaughter pen or let him go the farmer dies and "root for hi* living." Another cause of failure Is the l(- ...»rance of our rights and eapahlllttes— ty } u r n ; , Mgn,,tanV \.t tin intiinid* worth *Tr our product*, ignorant of the markets In which we might get value received.

Words of Cheor. The little effort made and the great success already gained should encour* age us. By co-operation we have gained a partial control of the pmduc. tlon of cotton. But of the amount w« need have but little fears. The naked shivering world needs all that we car make. We have secured partial con trol of the price. New York exchange may bulletin the "bull" or the "hear." but the village price changes nor. The hilling on Wall street can not control the pennies for cotton In the country town. We have compelled antagonistic forces to recognise our presence und to consider our wishes. The law-making powers, congress an<t legislature*, have at last begun to hear the rumbling of the farm wagon, for It sounds like the rattle of the hearse that may bear many of them to the political grave yard. New Calls to Duty. Qur mission Is not ended. We hav not finished our Jobs. Other problems aro rising which only the consolidated, combined, co-operative brotherhood of farmers can solve. The politician Is too much concerned about his office and salary to consider them. The states man Is too busy splitting hairs on the- oretlcal questions of government to give proper thought to the great prob lems. The banker Is so burled In counts and discount* and calculating Interest and looking after loans he can not leave his table long enough to cipher out these problems. The railroad men a it looking so closely after freight rates and passenger charges and watching, lest the watered stock leaks something besides dividends, that they cun not leave the crosstle and open switch nnd broken rail long enough to figure on the tkosalbllitles of these question*. If they are each solved nnd solved to the betterment of the farm and to the amelioration of mankind and the advancement of civilisation It I be when the farmer shall figure them cut with hi* plowshare and an nounce the solution te the redemption of the cotton .cfpp und In the salvation of the cropper. The Old Probleme Restated. The first unsolved problem which only organised Agriculture can solve Is diversified crops end Intensified col- lure. Fntll this Is solved the cotton planter is a vassal and must pay ex orbitant tribute to all the outside world. He wilt be the victim of leeches from the Last and from the West. Yam- cotton lands of the South. Beware, go slowly and step cautiously. Then there Is the liquor problem. If ever solved It must be done by men who rely upon human faithfulness and walk by faith In God. This question to be solved must be lifted above the dollgr-merk that rules In money cen ter*, and must he placed before men whose person and peace and pros perity and property depend upon the reliability and sobriety of men nnd neighbors and laborers In whom they must confide. The farmer at the last must solve this problem—A pgpbtem which hus made the politician Crazy and blinded the financier and baffled the preacher and defied the sociologist and tangled the brain of the profes sional. Then. Inst of all. there I* the problem of universal Industrial adju'tment—by which all human activity shall be hnr monlsed, all energies Interrelated and business nnd social nnd moral Impulses shall be brought Into full accord and nil adjusted In a perfect harmony to the accomplishments of "glory to God In the highest, on earth peace and good will among men." What a mis sion! And yet It Is brought close to the farmer for solution and for usher ing In of the millennium, "when the lion nnd the lamb shall lie down to gether and a little child—the child of the farmer—shall lead them."
