We have as an introduc¬ tory proposition a limited number free of charge. Nora Lawrence Smith, of the Wire grass Farmer, nominates William Jennings Bryan for chancellor of the University of Georgia. Mr. Bryan, of grape juice fame, is now Engaged in glorifying Florida from one angle while Roger Babson predicts its self destruction from another unless it re forms. Pat Griffin’s Bainbridge Post Searchlight brings us a feast of edi 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.“ WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOU T IT? G. (’. Thomas, Secretary-manager of the Griffin "and Spalding County to Chamber come of . ( to ommerce, Fort Valley offers and again help over us organize a Pencil County Chamber 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¬ ized as yet your Chamber of Com¬ merce in F'ort Valley. I hope you will 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 of an expert in the field, a man who is among the foremost leaders in Georgia affairs, FREE OF CHARGE where ordinarily an inferior man would lot of the , i wuum cost a v. money . m i | launching of such an important enter prise. / ■ ! 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. •2* 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. UFE UVES 0ver in Washington. Ga., one of Georgia’s best weekly newspapers, the News-Reporter, changed editors the other day. Will W.

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. a* ❖ ❖ And now look. Brother H. T. M.! April 6th the following news METHODIST CHURCH Thus. H. Thomson. Pastor Sunday School at 9:30 A. M., Judge A.

A principle permits autonomy, promotes development, it encourages thinking, it advances wisdom. A rule implies subjection, a principle imples freedom. The application of Christ¬ ian principles to life presupposes cer tain things. When the principle of doing unto others as you would have others do unto you is considered in this light, then the ‘Golden Rule’ ceases to he a joke with some men who believe in Christianity in their inmost hearts, hut who fail to prae tice it for fear of starving to death. . “It is not a Golden Rule, hut a Golden Principle.’ It become prac tical, life-giving principle, adaptable to every day of the week and every kind of business, a principle of establishing the fullest measure happiness, peace and prosperity on this earth.” PEACH BLOSSOM > LF-SIIVAL The August* Chronicle: Fort Val ,e Y <li<J tht ’ ri ^ ht th ' n ^ whon she P ut °n the annuat peach blossom festi val that closed March 20.

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.
