RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesar.
We hope those interested in school
history will pardon us this week
and let us bring in last Sunday’s
sing, the old Sacred Harp music,
and too, the school is now (1891)
moving to the present location, and
we want to get all on board.
The Sing.
A large congregation met with this
band of singers from our sister
State, Alabama, to hear and enjoy the
sacred harp music, which was some
thing a large majority had never
heard before. Quite a number had
never heard singing in church, unless
accompanied with organ or piano, but
today the organ was set aside and
none but the human voice was heard
In delightful melodies. One good
brother who had never heard sacred
harp music before said he had never
realized that music of today only
pleased the fancy, but that this sa
cred harp music reached the heart.
All things will pass away; time
itself will roll on through the ages
and reach the limit that, will engulf
it into eternity, but music, one of
God’s holy gifts to man, will through
all ages grow, gathering strength and
force from nation to nation, from
a place to hovel, and return to God
glorified, to be perfected and perpet
uated among the royal victory.

Resolutions of Class.
We, the visitors and singers, ten
der to the people of Zion church
and Sowhatchee community our heart
felt thanks for their kind hospitality
and a special blessing on the good
ladies who bore the burden in pre
paring for our comfort at the noon
hour. May God bless all with his
richest blessings.
In the long ago, in the dark jun
gles of Burmah, as the sun was sink
ing behind the western hills, Judson
led his first convert down into the
water for baptism. He (Judson) and
his wife sang ’‘How firm a founda
tion,” anti “What wondrous love is
this," The fierce natives stood in
fear and awe. Paul and Silas in
their prayers and songs moved the
courts of heaven and the mighty
locks, bolts and bars were torn asun
der from prison doors and they stood
free men. What a power in the mu
sic that meets God's approval.
Come again, brethren and sisters.
You will always find Sowliatchee’s
doors wide open and a warm welcome
to you.
May God bless and keep you and
at last when called to join the heav
enly choir, your voices will then be
perfected beyond your most sanguine
expectations.

JAMES D. PRICES'S OFFICIAL RECORD
CALLS FOR HIS DEFEAT, SAYS
ALBERT J. WOODRUFF
Like thousands of business men and
fanners throughout the state, I am
greatly amused at Mr. Price’s adver
tisements proclaiming himself as the
farmer's friend, the only “dirt farmer
on the commission, etc. I haven’t been
actively engaged in fanning for several
years, but I was thus engaged for a
lon« number of years and have since
been conversant w'th farming to the
extent that I am sufficiently acquaint
ed with their interests to know that
for Mr. Price to parade himself as the
farmer’s "friend” on the Public Service
Commission is a reflection on the in
telligence of every farmer in the state.
As is generally known throughout the
state. Mr. Price has never applied him
self to the duties of his office, with the
result that he knows nothing about the
real duties of the office, where study
and research is called for. He is only
at his office five days per month, al
though for the past rive years he has
been paid $1,109.00 per year extra, with
the express provision that he shall give
his entire time to the duties of his of
fice. It has been within his power
to have brought about a revision In
fertilizer rates whe/eby large savings
would have resulted to the Georgia
farmer on 1924 crops. The same is
true of agricultural limestone; tho
same is also true on sand and gravel
for road construction which, had he
had done, would have saved the farm
ers and citizens of Georgia approxi
mately SBOO,OOO this year. He voted
for the general Increase in rates In
1920. Including the abominable sur
charge on sleeping and parlor cars,
which increases have amounted to ap
proximately eighteen pjllllons of dol
lars per year for the ptrst four years.
Yet this ‘Triend” of the Georgia farmer
has never initiated any move lower
ing this heavy Increase in 1920.
His Home City Should Vote
Against Him.
Not many months ago he was con
fronted with determining the question
of an increase in power rates for fif
teen wholesale consumers in the city
of Athens, and due to the division on
the Commission he had it In his hands
to grant the increase or decline it.
Contrary to every Investigation and
Little Voice fronT]
j the Blakely Circuit. j
“Where are thou?” —Gen. 3:9.
This question has been ringing
down through these six thousand
years. If you would answer correct
ly—l mean not in the sight of your
wife or husband or father or mother
or children or neighbor, but in the
sight of God —“where art thou ” As
a nation we are in a very restless
condition. Our people are in an
uproar over matters like this. Who
is right? 1 can not keep hut one
man right, and that is myself. Now
try it and see how much better
things will appear.
The men lay the blame upon the !
women and the women lay the blame ,
on the men. It was so with Adam ’
and Eve. She laid the blame on the |
serpent. And Adam raised a fuss
with God and tried to hide Eve and
himself. And God had pity on them j
both and made them coats of skin 1
and drove old Father Adam out of i
the Garden and old Grandmother Eve j
went after him, fussing every step, j
and this fuss has been very well
kept up for lo! these hundreds of
years past, and yet we can not do
without them. I will say this: A
good woman is the best thing, that
walks the earth and a mean woman
is the meanest, and we have more
mean ones now than we co good
ones, as far as lam able to see.'
If we had more of the good women,
we would not have so much sin
abroad. Why say I this? She Is the
channel of all of the good and all
the evil. I dare you to deny it!
God help us preachers not to be
afraid of these pretty painted faces
and lips of our fair-faced maidens.
Many of them are our queens. But
we are priests and kings and must
hold up a standard in Christ so our
nation will not be lost.
D. A. COOK. Pastor.

late of said county, deceased, this is
to cite all and singular the creditors
and next of kin of said L. M. Free
to be and appear at the October
term. 1924, of the court of ordinary
of said county, and show cause, if
any they can, why letters of admin

almost the uncontradicted evidence In
the case, and without any sclentlfc con
slderatlon of his own as a basis for a
conclusion, he arbitrarily puts an add
ed cost to these fifteen commercial en
terprlses. including the City Water
works Department, of approximately
$15,800 per year. If he will exercise an
arbitrary discretion against the people
of his home city resulting in a penalty
In the sum Just stated, what may the
citizens of other sections of the state
expect from this “friend” of the Geor
gia farmer? This increase of power
rates In Athens was approved by him.
notwithstanding the lighting property
of this Athens company was enjoying
at the time a rate return that the Com
mission has uniformly held to be rea
sonable for other companies, consider
lng the value of the property. In the
same case he voted to destroy a funda
mental principle In rate-making that
the Georgia Commission had adhered
to for years and years prior to the datr
former Chairman. C. M. Candler, left
the Commission. The statement of
facts just related. I take from a dls
senting opinion filed in the case re
ferred to.
Auqusta Should Vote Unanimously
Aqainst Mr. Price.
Twice within the last few months he
has cast votes, in one case to the
groat hurt and rank discrimination in
favor of a few citizens of Augusta, and
'against all the other small consumers
! He did this without notice or oppor
, tunlty for the citizens of Augusta to
be heard and again destroyed a prin
ciple that the Commission held Invio
late up to the time of Chairman Can
dler’s retirement from the Commission.
The time has come for Mr. Price’s
bi-monthlv frolics to Atlanta to stop:
the hour for sane and sober considers
tion of the weighty problems of affairs
of concern to our citizens has arrived
and it is mv firm conviction that the
citizens of Georgia are anxiously await
ing. from one side of the state to the
other, the arrlvel of the 10th of Gep
tember to register their solemn protest
against the official record of this
friend” of the Georgia farmer.
