toriul entertainment every week. It’s
a gem, even if it won’t knock that ro
port about a nigger eating fire in the
head. Likewise Tucker’s “Home Brew”
column in the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
When we get ready to start any fire
eating we shall not do it by proxy,
and we’re afraid these fellows will not
havo to depend upon mere reports in
the matter.
The Commerce News has been look
ing about to see ‘what ails Georgia”
and it speaks thus through Editor
John Shannon, a very observant
gentleman: I
"We grew in Georgia the past year,
practically 1,000,000 bales of cotton,
Counting the average price per pound
at 22c the cotton crop would in dollars
;ind cents la* $110,000,000. The cost
of operating automobiles in Georgia
is $109,250,000. If these estimates are
in gians the neighborhood spending of correct, Geor- j
are each year praeti
■
rally much for automobiles the '
as as
entire value of Georgia's cotton crop.
If these figures are approximately
correct, is to the boll weevil or the au¬
tomobile that bursted bs.“

over

of Commerce. Other chamber-of-co'm
incrce secretaries of high ability and
long experience, including those i<C Al¬
bany and Way cross, have expressed
a desire to assist here, knowing," as
they say, “the importance and value
• >f an organized chamber to the com¬
munity. In a letter last week Mr.
Thomas said of a recent editorial on
the subject: I have read the edi¬
torial with a great deal of interest
and appreciate the very great work
that y ( ou are doing at F'ort Valley for
-’ic flptiH <>f the community. I regret
very much that you have not organ¬

do so at an early date and I will he
very glad to assist you in any way
possible. If you can get your citizens
together at-any time in the near fu
ture, I will be glad to come down to
Fort Valley.
This is an opportunity for Fort
Valley and Peach county to organize
an institution which will reap for the
community the rich harvest that lias
been sown and cultivated nnd is now
ready to go to waste. It is an oppor
tunity to gain the valuable assistance

Georgia affairs, FREE OF CHARGE

! was flashed over the country:
j New York, April 0. •Samuel M.
j Vauelain, president of the Baldwin
Locomotiv e Works, at Philadelphia,
who is under a $10,000 agreement not
to violate the prohibition act befo re
May 19, on his return today from
Bermuda evaded questions as to
whether he had partaken of intoxi¬
cating liquors during his vacation
trip. "s
“When I drink, 1 don't drink for
pleasure,” he parried.
"When one gets to about 100 years
old,” he added, “one wants a nip
now and then.”
A contract not to violate the pro¬
hibition law was made by Mr. Vau
clain and three of. his associates in
business, W. A. Garrett, deceased; A.
S. Goble, of St. Louis, and R. A. Hoy,
of Houston, Texas. The last three
named agreed to forfeit $1,000 each
if they broke the agreement. Mr,
Vauelain would forfeit $10,000 for a
v '°lation. A drink in Bermuda would
1101 '’white the agreement.

Just that sort of “exemplary citi¬
zenship’’ and “Christian consistency”
is what is doing more than anything
else in America to thwart general ob¬
servance of the law.

tH. I. 1M. in Albany HeraldJ
Tne president of the Baldwin Loco¬
motive Wonts, one of the most wide¬
ly Known industrial concerns in the
country, is under bond to forfeit the
sum oi $10,0(10 should he take a
drink of intoxicating liquor during
the period of twelve months ending
jpay 18, 1925. Should either of three
other Baldwin officials who signed
the same agreement violatp it terms,
lus forfeit will be $1,000.
j The exisitence of this unique con
tract became known Monday When
; Samuel M. Vauclatn, president , of
the Baldwin company, told of it. It
was entered into on his 68th birthday,
while he and those with hom he cov¬
enanted were traveling through Tex
I ; as in the Vauelain priviate car.
The considerations involved, oth-
1 er than the money, are interesting,
i The preamble refers to the fact that
j the use of liquors in the United
1 States now is forbidden by law, and
continues: “Whereas, the undersigned
are desirous of obeying said laws,
'
not , only i because i they believe , , such .
action , is right, hut also that it will ...
result ...... in their mental, , , moral I,, and
pny
tea) good.” , „
Here ,, ,s involved I,.,, tin heart . of ,,
nutter ,, ol enforcement . not only , of
the prnhioition law, but of all law.
( As “Questions and Answers,” the
matter can thus he* summed up sim
ply:
Q. What is the duty of the citi
zen ?
A. The duty of the citizen is to
obey the law.
Q. What law?
A. All the law.
Q. Why all the law, if it be the
honest conviction of the citizen that
not all the laws are just?
A. Because the law is a building
—a structure raised through many
years by many builders. It is de
signed to shelter and protect not
|y one citizen but all citizens, .
eluding those yet to be born. To brea(<
any law is to oaken some part of
the building, and to eaken in one
, place is to weaken it as a whole
I To weaken it is to make good govern
j ment more difficult nnd its perpetui
ty more uncertain.
| Q. Why is it so important that ev
| cry law be respected by the citizen?
I A. Because it is so much more
difficult to build than it is to tear
down, and even more difficult to re
build that which has been ruthlessly
or carelessly destroyed. It is easier
to build with new brick than with
brick salvaged from a demolished
biulding.
Q. Why does obedience to law re
suit in good to all?
A. It gives the law-observing eiti
zen the consciousness of duty per
formed, and it challenges others, who
may he more thoughtless or cast in
mould, to be equally conscien
tious. The strong may be able to pro
tect themselves; the weak need the
law, which often is their only protec
tor. To weaken the law is to be unfair
to them. To be unfair to them is to
be selfish, and selfishness never helps
anything,
Q. Should a myn, then, obey the
law he does not approve?
A. Unquestionably.
Q. Why?
A. Because it is the law.

Shoes are going up because YOU

reduce the slaughter of calves now

Conference Here On
Columbia Seminary
Rev. C. C. McNeill, representing the
committee of education of the South
i-rn Presbyterian Church is here for a
conference with Rev. J. W. Smith, of
the Presbyterian church regarding the
work now being conducted throughout
Georgia for the removal of Columbia
Seminary from Columbia, S. C., back
to Georgia, where it was first started.
The removal and rebuilding of the
seminary at Atlanta has been author
I ized by the five synods of Georgia,
South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and
.Mississippi, and endorsed by the Gen
eral Assembly, the Board of Directors
| of Columbia Seminary and the Pres
,byterians of Georgia.
The campaign in Georgia follows a
recent campaign in Atlanta in which
the Presbyterians of that city and
.Decatur subscribed over $800,000 for
j news buildings and equipment, and
: a plot of ground of forty acres was
donated for a site.
There are no Presbyterian theolog
'leal seminaries in the state. There are
many vacant pulpits, ami the need is
very great for a seminary where !o
cal candidates for the ministry can
he trained and held in this territory
for local charges.
Columbia Seminary is controlled by
the five synods of Georgia, Flori¬
da, Alabama, South Carolina and
Mississippi. The campaign in Georgia
is in charge of synod’s committee
composed of prominent Presbyterians
throughout the state of which Dr. J.
^P r °l e Lyons of Atlanta is chair-
1
man.
The other members are: Dr. Neal
K. Anderson, Savannah; Mr. J. T.
Brantley, Blackshear; Mr. J. Bulow
Campbell, Atlanta; Rev. S. J. Cart
lege, Athens; Rev. J. B. Ficklen, De
eatur; Rev. F. G. Hartman, Washing
ton, Ga.; Mr. W. D. Hooper, Athens;
Dr. E. R. Reyburn, Rome; Dr. J, II.
Patton, Marietta; Rev. R. F. Simpson,
Americas; Mr. Edgar Watkins, At
lanta.
It is planned to raise not less than
$250,000 in the state of Georgia u>
jj ( , use( i f or endowment of the nov
seminary. The Committee of Educa
tion ()f tlle Southern Presbyterian
church is 'established assisting-in the campaign
and has headquarters at
