Reception Given
. at Hogansville
One of the biggest receptions ever
given in Hogunsvilie was when, on
Thursday afternoon, at the home of
Mrs. B. C. Laniei, Mrs. Daniel and
Mrs. L. R. Owens entertained eighty
guests with a kitchen shower for Mrs.
Percy Wilkes, a recent bride.
A color scheme of green and white
was carried out in the parlor, library
and reception hall where quantities of
foliage and chrysanthemums were
used. In the dining room pink and
white were the decorations on a hand
somely appointed table.
The guests were met at the door
by Misses Lillian Daniel and More
land Miller, and conducted to the
bride’s cook book to write their fnvo-
rito reccipe.
In a corner in the library, under a
bower of greenery, the bride sat to
receive her gifts, which came in on
a beautifully decorated express wa
gon drawn by little Misses Clyde
■Jones, Frances Owens, and Sarah
Hogan, dressed as Cupids. A little
| book which was dedicated to the bride
i by Mrs. B. C. Daniel an^l Mrs. L. R.
Owens, was read by Mrs. A. W.
Strozior.
Assisting Mrs. Daniel and Mrs.
j Owens in entertaining were Mrs. Will
Vrnold, Mrs. Will Jones, Mrs. A. V/.
j ' rozier, and Misses Lillian Daniel,
1 :uth and Moreland Miller.

Did You Give
Him a
Lift?
Did you give him a lift? He's a
brother of men,
And bearing about all the burden he
can.
Did you give him a smile? He was
downcast and blue. i
And the smile would have helped him
•to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He
was slipping dow-n hill,
And the world, so I fancied, was
using him ill.
Did you give him a word? Did you
show him the road.
Or did you just let him go on with
his load?
Do you know what it mean® to tt
losing the fight,
When a lift just in time might m*
everything right?
Do you know what it means—just a
clasp of the hand,
When a man’s borne about all a ma»
ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was—why the
quivering lip ?
Why the half-suppressed soh, and
the scalding tear’s drip ?
Were you brother of his when the
time came of need? .
Did you offer to help him or didn t
• you heed? _ Til>Bita .

VIr. Merlin Bennett
Joins R. F. D. Force
FIRST, PAY DEBTS; THEN, ES
CAPE BONDAGE.
Mr. Merlin Bennett, oldest son of
Ir. J. P. Bennett, of this city, wus
■ ccently appointed as one of the R.
’. D. Carriers of Troup county and
: i now carrying the mail on Route 4.
lerlin won his appointment over a
large number of contestants, and has
the distinction of being the youngest

The flrat doty of the southern far
mer in a year unprecedented since the
civil war Is to Bell enough cotton to
pay his debts.
The second duty, and it is hardly
Icbh emergent, is to plan to escape
next year the bondage of all-cotton j
by raising foodstuffs at home, reduc
ing cotton sharply and using as lit
tle credit as possible to produce even
his minimum of cotton.
These are the flat terms of the
eolith's emancipation.
The Constitution makes the state
ment, advispdly, that the salvation of
the south is in tho hnnds of the far
mer; and wo say further, that tho
lundlord who complcs the tenant to
overplant in cotton, or who himBolf
holds too much cotton, or who will not
permit the tonant to plnnt foodstuffs,
is a public foe!
If cotton were a cron that wore
raised debt-freo, it would be legiti
mate to hoard it indefinitely.
Cotton is not raised debt-froo.
Most of it is ratoed on credit.
That credit influence starts at tho
crossroads grocery and stretches un
to tho nay envelope of every man in
every city in the south. Thnt is h*n»
how tyrannical and nll-pervaslvo cot
ton is.
(Tho landlord, therefore, or tho far
mer, who i:i hoarding cotton and not
paying his debts in hoarding tho cot
ton of othor people; ho is paralyzin'-
tho curront of activity nil along the
line; ho is affecting people living
huhdredn of miles away who never
heard of him.
Thnt is why Tho Constitution says
the first, duty of men who control cot
ton, and it Isn’t always the bona fide
farmer, is t.o sell enough to clear
debts. What cotton is left can be
hoarded. i
Tho Constitution realizes and
sympathizes with the disanrolntroent
over low-priced cotton. Tho Consti
tution knows, too, thnt cotton, intrin-
sica"''. is worth mftre than tho pric"
H will now bring. But the south
must, ns it has on previous occasions
face the situation as it exists, not. e<-
wo would liko it to bo. We have the
nerve for that process. We must
get about it. Wo must recognize thnt
tho cotton market is readjusting it
self to a level thnt, while it will post
pone many of tho things the sout’
hoped for, will permit a good, sound
Mving, added to tho accumulated sur
plus of many years of good prices.
Next yenr, the indications are thnt
we will return to normal. But we are
dealing now w-'tk tvis year. And we
must net Accordingly.
If potton were not a debt-raised
wop, the south today would bo faced
by no problem. *
One of the big lessons of the nr»«
•nt emergency is. henceforth, to ra'se
•otton with as little debt ns i possible-
to broaden our agricultural' program
to Include foodstuffs. The countrv
that feeds itself need fear nothin o-
