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.

Song, parting hand in sacred harp. R. E. WOODHAM, Pres., E. W. WILEY, Secretary. 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.

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. CITATION. GEORGIA —Early County: To all whom It may concern: Julia N. Murray, of said State, having applied to me for letters of administration de bonis non with will annexed, on the estate of L. M. Free, 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 istration de bonis non, with will an nexed, should not be granted to the said Julia N. Murray on the estate of L. M. Free. Witness my official signature, this September 1. 1924. C. C. LANE, Ordinary. ,-SAVE YOUR MONEY— | One box of Tutt’s Pills saves many dollars in doctor's bills.

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.
