For more than one hundred years the United States have made the proud
boast that this country could live regardless of any exigencies that might exist
in other parts of the world; that this country, bounded as it is on 'the one hand
by the Pacific Ocean and on the other by the Atlantic, separated thousands of
miles from the “Yellow Peril;” on the other hand separated thousands of miles
from 'the heterogenous elements of Continental Europe—the rest of the world
might go to Hell, if they chose to do so, and still we would be basking under the
sunny skies of America—the land bubbling over with milk and honey and hog
and hominy. - . ... r 1
And now, my fellow citizens, we have an opportunity to illustrate the
declaration made by every hill-billie orator of the last century or more, from the
mountains of New Hampshire to the plains of Florida, and yet here we 'are, the
average one of us, going around like a mangy dog, whining about the “W'ar.
You can hardly got an audience with a man on any other subject and nine-tenths
of the people seem to be under the impression that somebody has done 'them or
their folks a serious injury. , „ , , !
The question at this hour is not Who hit Billie Patterson? —but -are the
American people—the Southern people, a lot of pale face mollycoddles, with
dimmed goat’s milk flowing through their veins, or have they inherited 'the rich
red blood of our American sires who left 'their bloody footprints, on the frozen
valleys of Virginia, when George Washington led them on to a victorious deliv
erance from die yoke of English Royalty?
These men won because they had sand in their gizzards instead of grape
nuts, and guts in their bellies instead of t a pe worms. .
True, we may have to abandon so m e of our twentieth century luxuries. It
may be necessary for* us to adjust ourselves to a new' basis of living but should
we surrender? True it is some of our folks may have to divert to some extent
the stream of gold that hate for the last ten years flowed from our vaults and into
the coffers of Mr. Ford, Mr. Packard, M r . Buick and Mr. Saxon, and other es
teemed fellow countrymen to the North of us, but we can still raise mule colts
and jersey bulls and get there somehow, even though St be at a lower rate of speed.
True rt may be, that our women folks may have to suspend their suffra
gette convocations for a brief spa'll and resume die monotonous business of
looking'after the babies-and knitting so x for the men—but this is the way they
used to do and they managed to live through it.
True it may be, that our rich Dad s won’t have quite as much money to
spend on their boys in the way of Piedmont Cigarettes, patent lealther shoes,
and ice cream clothes, and it may even be possible that the boy will have to
learn something about self-denial and physical labor—but this is the way they used
to do and several of them managed to live through it. Take for instance Abra
ham Lincoln and a few other cheap skates.
True it may be, 'that some of our farmers will be driven against their wjll,
to the production of Hog and Hominy, Peas and Potatoes v and Sorghum and
Cider—but that is the way they used t 0 do in the old days and some of them
managed to live through it. 'i
True it may be, that the insincere Politician who has been feeding the “Dear
People” on glittering generalities and pleasant platitudes may be called upon to
deliver the goods instead of honeyed phrases—but this is the way they used to
do in the old days and the country managed to survive it.
True it may be, that these kind of times serve to show up in the community
who is the real man and who is the humbug, but we will have to submit if we
can’t do any better. * 1
True it may be, that preachers wjl] be driven to revisiting the sick, the
. widows and orphans and preaching the gospel instead of politicking around—'but
that is 'the way they used to do in the olj days and it may even be possible for
us to survive the conditions of that extr em e character at the present time.
England’s unpreparedness for this w a r is literally astounding; they have been
raising milk sops over there instead of men and suffragettes instead of mothers.
In France they have been intoxicated for a generation of more with an in
ordinate love for dress, dissipation in all forms and a repudiation of God.
On the other hand, Germany has given the World an object lesson in home
making, statesmanship, manufacturing, banking, farming and religion (although
they do drink 'a little beer in the 'afternoon after spending a good part of the morn
ing at church.) (It is probably not necessary, however, for one to drink a little
, beer in order to be truly religious.)
I have not subscribed to Teutonic supremacy, because I have believed that
there is too much trace of Bismark and Von Moltke’s “Blood and iron” policy in
the German people.. On the other hand I say let the best man win, and let’s quit
whining and go to work.
Suppose Germany had our opportunities. Suppose German farmers had the
same opportunity today that the Southern farmer has within his grasp; he would
not only feed his own family but supply produce for families across the seas.
Some people say that if the Germans should win over the Allied Armies that
they.would then ply their aggressions to the South of us; and seize the Panama
Canal and destroy the Monroe Doctrine and dominate the Commerce of South
America. Suppose all this should happen, which might merely after all be the
vagary of some mild mannered Statesman’s imagination, is that any reason why
we should go around with a face as long as a lamp post talking War instead of
Work? :
The American people stultified the Monroe Doctrine when they planted
themselves on the Philippine Islands on whidh the “Yellow Peril” already had one
foot. '
The German people have already taken advantage of pur supineness and
practically control .'the commerce of South. America.
One word in conclusion, and this is with reference to. our merchants and
bankers. The only criticism I have for either-is that they have been too good to -
the people. All* this taik to the contrary is nonsense and is ingratitude 'and the man
who indulges in it will wake up before this thing is_ over to the fact that he has
been making a fool of himself. __ ;
Let’s get down to brass tacks—adjust ourselves to the new conditions—turn
our faces to the rising sun—get busy! >

The General
says
Get the habit of
these advertisements. You
may not want roofing now or
for another year, but if you
read our advertisements you
will be thoroughly posted on
what to buy when you put
up that new building.
Certain-teed
Certified Roofillg
—in its three forms—rolls, shin
gles and built-up form—is the best
Slat money can buy, and its exten
sive use on factories, warehouses,
skyscrapers, business blocks, farm
buildings, army and navy stations,
residences, bams, 'etc., proves it
is the most popular roofing ora
the market today.
This popularity is the result of the ex

gives on the roof and the reasonable
price at which dealers sell it.
The North Georgia conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal church will)
meet in this city October 28th and will
last through November 1st, bringing'
about 200 delegates.
The following well written article by
Bev. J. T. Wilkinson, pastor of the col
ored Methodist church of this city, tells
of the conference:
The North Georgia annual conference
of the African Methodist Episcopal
church will meet in Dalton, October 28-
November 1. Bishop J. S. Flipper,
native Georgian, is at the head
of this church organization in Geor
gia, and will preside at this con
ference. Bishop H. M. Turner, the
senior bishop, will visit the conference;
also Bishop Heard, of West Africa, will
be present and deliver a lecture, in
which he will tell of the customs and
habits of that far away Country. This
lecture will be one of the features of
the conference and there will be special
arrangements made for the white people
to hear this lecture.
On Tuesday night before the confer-
ence'opens on Wednesday, the welcome
addresses will be delivered to the con
ference and the visiting delegates by
the citizens of Dalton. The mayor of
the city, Dr- Poote, the pastor of the
First Methodist church, South; Bev. O.
D. Fleming, of the First Baptist church,
(white); Bev. F. K. Sims, of the Pres
byterian church; Col. S. P. Maddox,
Mr. J. A. Crawford, the postmaster, and
Mr. T. S. Shope, the editor of the Dal
ton Citizen, have been asked to speak
for the white people of Dalton and
Whitfield county. Bev. Timothy Saine,
the pastor of the "First Baptist church,
(colored); Bev. G. E. Caesar, of the
colored Presbyterian church; Prof. C. D.
Green, of the city public schools, and
Miss Lottie Bell will speak for the col
ored people. Bishop Flipper will reply
to all addresses.- Bishop Flipper, a na
tive Georgian, reared and educated in
this state, is at the head of the largest
district in his church.
Bev. J. T. Wilkinson, and his members
with their friends are working hard to
take good care of the conference, and
as their membership is small, they are
asking all of their white friends to help
them.

Prosperity Is a happy state. It
depends upon good credit, stable
prices, employment of wage earn
ers and a general confidence In the
future.
Of late there seems to have been
an unnecessary amount of business
depression, due mostly to the lack
of fairness of one class toward an
other, and to a little dishonesty or
overgrasping scattered through all
the classes, but not In a majority
of any of them.
In a country of our enormous na
tural wealth, we should have little
to worry about. 'The United- States,
■with Its insular possessions' and
Alaska, is nearly as large as Eu
rope Our coasts are indented with
excellent harbors and Intersected
by internal waterways, and we
have, by far, the fineM and cheap
est cost railroad transportation in
the whole world, making communi
cation cheap and easy. We have
tremendous water power and every
variety of climate and soil. Mag-1
nlficent forests cover a great area
of our territory. Our land Is lib
erally stocked with almost every
variety of mineral wealth, and with
our vast agricultural wealth we
lead the world in. a great many
thlnga * <m \ v
When corporations are renovated
and their Ills aired by publicity, /
and when business- men begin to '
feel a renewed confidence, and
■when political "cure alls,” who
have never made a success of their
own affairs, quit offering “reme
dies’* for all sorts of imaginary
troubles;- when we have full pub
licity in politics and in government;
when business managers and em
ployees treat each other fairly, the
causes for apparent depression will
disappear and real prosperity will
return and stay with us. -
