IV. A. CANDLER
HUME SETS 1914
THE FUTURE OF COTTON IN THE
SOUTH.
As the basis of my argument, 1
will say before I begin that cotton is
as prime a necessity for the world’s
progress as the corn, wheat and butch
er meat of the north and west; and
that the southern states furnish the
main supply, of raw cotton to the civ-
llzed world. This is a modest state
ment of well-known facts. It brings
more money to the commerce of the
United States than any two of che
others.
Would it not, therefore, seem to you
that our United States congress would
be willing to give cotton producers and
cotton manufacturers a living chance
in the business world?
Now, I will begin to talk even more
plainly. In the first place, Liverpool
files the price on American cotton.
Those English manufacturers hold the
scales and the sale of my cotton and
your cotton, is set—fixed—measured
and priced in England. Who’s to blame
for this injustice?
I will* dare to say (what no Georgia
politician will say?) the fault lies in
the failure of our United States con
gress to rise to the level of common
business sense. They should be legis
lating for the protection of cotton pro
ducers and cotton manufactures in this
great nation. These legislators are
either weak and cowardly—or they
lack gray matter in their craniums. If
any one of them wants to discuss this
matter—the time is ripe and the an
swers are ready—because public pati
ence is wearied. Next: The legisla
tion of this country is controlled by
the speculators—those who hang around
Wall street, and those who are mak
ing forunes by bulling and bearing cot
ton.
England would put a stop to it, if
England was not soaking up the money
by depressing the selling price of cot
ton—and absolutely working hand in
glove with those w’ho are robbing the
produces and manufacturer of cotton
In the United States.
We will not forget how the agricul
tural department in Washington City,
under the shadow of the dome of the*
capitol, was stocked up by the most
violent of these enemies of the south
and the spinners' figures and the ware
house figures were privately placed in
the hands of New York speculators at
least twenty-four hours before the fig
ures were given out in Washington, so
that the price might be regulated and the
price and forwarded from Liverpool by
cable.
That herd of cattle should have been,
expelled and branded by the congress
of the United States, but this weak
body, afraid of waking up the country
of the trusts, actually did nothing to
ward relieving the country after ex
posure had accidentally happened, and it
is my honest belief they would have
begged pardon for offending the bosses,
if they could have kept the facts from
the outraged people, their constituents,
by keeping them out of the newspapers.
After the war the poor farmers of the
south • started with worse than nothing.
In fifty years, despite the losses of Civil
wsrr and the general poverty of this sec
tion they have made the world stand
up and take notice as to what cotton
production and its revenue means to
the world.
But the demagogues and the cotton
speculators and the padded cotton
warehouse and ginners’ reports have
made so much noise and our congress
men are so w’eak-kneed and so afraid of
being left at home that they are ac
tually opening wide the gates by which
Europe can flood this country with
cheap cotton goods and ruin the men
who have spent millions in the south
to build up a domestic and foreign
trade, and pay big wages to their mill
operatives. The whole brunt of such
disaster will fall on the laboring people
at last. •
I remember well the condition of the
poor whites at the close of the war,
and what a God-send these cotton mills
were to These hungry, half-naked ones.
I am interested mainly because of the
poverty that will ensue as soon as these
people must leave these cotton mills
when the plants close down because of
no profits!
Diversified farming will make the cot
ton crop smaller, of course, because no
man in Georgia can make a living with
cotton after the price is hammered down
to give England further control of the
supply and to her own profit.
In my old age I tremble for these
laboring classes. They were doing so
much better than the poor operatives
abroad, and they will have nothing to
keep them in food or shelter when
this evil legislation is forced on this
country.
RUNNING AWAY FROM MARRYING
• UNPLEASANT HUSBANDS.
The ctiy papers are full of accounts
or stories where young women run away
from home to avoid marital bonds with
men they are urged to marry.
These stories have great headlines and
anyone who can read between the lines
is struck by the covert sneers that at
tend such publications.
But the fact remains that these girls
who elope with themselves, (?) to avoid
unwelcome husbands are doing a long
sight better for themselves and the in
terests of society by such avoidance
than is done by the poor girls who
plunge into matrimony and who try to
shuffle off the obligations after the
preacher ties them up in bonds of wed-
lok. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of such cure! Single blessed
ness is hard to beat as a self-respecting
proposition. It discounts wedded mis
ery 99 cents in the dollar, and I am
obliged to think very poorly of a parent
who would coerce a daughter to marry
any man when she was manifestly un
willing to do so. As a-rule, girls are
too ready and willing to take the plunge
and become sorry soon afterwards;
therefore it stands to reason that an un
willing bride should be allowed a living
chance to escape from such bondage;
and furthermore, she should have sym
pathy instead of covert sneers when she
manages to escape. Because matrimony
is the most serious proposition that is
encountered by human beings, it should
have every protection, not only as to
legality but as to willingness from
both contracting parties, and it is a
thousand times better to quit before
marriage than to enter such a’life part
nership under protest, and that protest
made by the weaker partner, under pa
rental duress.
It smacks of slave market tactics
when a girl has to escape by flight from
parental tyranny, especially when she
detests the man who is willing to mar
ry her, as it were, by force. There is
an immense lot of criticism about the
so-called white slave traffic. What
name would you give to the forcing of a
daughter to marry a man that she
couldn’t acept as her husband?
T
HERE are two forces in this !
.country, commercialism and so- |
cialism, which seem to be antag- J
onistic, but which really have much in i
common. Commercialism proceeds on
the idea that money is the supreme
good, and the want of it the worst evil.
Socialism accepts this view, and offers
a program for a more equal distribu
tion of money and all material goods,
so that there shall be no poverty and
no excessive affluence. Both systems of
thought rest oi# the idea that the pos
session of property is the most impor
tant thing in earthly life.
Tt is not strange, therefore, that our
highly commercialized civilization in
America is giving rise to socialism.
And the remedy for both socialism and
commercialism is the positive denial
and refutation of the unscriptural no
tion that wealth * is the highest good
and poverty the worst evil. This false
idea is contradicted by every recorded
utterance of Jesus Christ touching
these things, and it is also in the teeth
of the teaching of the wisest philoso
phers of all ages. It is so obviously
false that to state it in all its naked
folly is sufficient to refute it. But
while it is so manifestly false, it is
very subtile and insidious in its ap
proaches to the human mind. Men
often unconsciously assume that it is
true, and proceed to act on that as
sumption in the prosecution of the
most serious work. It appeals to that
which is carnal and selfish in the
human heart, and thereby it secures a
too* ready acceptance. Even preachers,
whom it is fair to assume study habit
ually the words of Jesus, fall into this
snare of overestimating material good.
There are many evidences around us
today which show how many preachers
and entire churches have succumbed to
the delusive spell of the doctrine of
raammonism. The program of some
pulpits seems to be one which omits
almost entirely efforts to accomplish
spiritual good, and is apparently con
cerned solely with schemes to promote
material good. We hear much more
from these sources concerning' “social
service” than we hear about salvation
from sin. Many cant phrases are cur
rent expressing this creed of earthly
mindedness. Men talk of what they
are pleased to call “practical religion,”
and when they are pressed to define
the term, their answer shows that they
mean only the relief of physical want,
as if the only thing to be practiced ip
this world were the effort to escap^
discomfort a%id to secure bodily satis
faction.
Now the Christian religion enjoins
the relief of the needy. It has inspired
all the worthy philanthropy which is
found among men. It requires of its
followers all the offices of brotherly
kindness toward their fellow men, such
as, feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked, and visiting the sick with heal
ing ministrations; but Its emphasis

A Poor Crop Season.
Hoschton, Ga., May 12, 1913.
Mrs. Felton, Cartersville, Ga.:
I would like to say Just a few words
to the farmers.
Last year, 1912, was the wettest
year I have ever seen, and the most
unfavorable to King Cotton. All of uW
who were depending on cotton for
everything “hit the ceiling,” so to
speak, and hit hard in this section of
Jackson county. Where one man got
out of debt’s clutches more than ten
of his neighbors could not make ends
Women Are Constantly Being Restored to
Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
“Worth mountains of gold,” says one woman. Another
says; “I would not give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound for all the other medicines for women in the
world ” Still another writes, “ I should like to have the
merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound thrown
on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could
read and be convinced that there Is a remedy for their ills.”
We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo
tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women
whose health has been restored and suffering banished by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound accomplished
6uch a universal success ? Why has it lived and thrived and kept on
doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more
than 30 years ? . ’
Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim
ply because there is no other medicine so good for women s ills.
Here are two letters that just came to the writer’s desk—only two
of thousands, but both tell a comforting story to every suffering wo
man who will read them—and be guided by them.

MRS. WILLIAMS SAYS:
Elkhart, Ind. —“I suffered for 14
years from organic inflammation, fe
male weakness, pain and irregulari
ties. The pains in my sides were
increased by walking or standing on
my feet and I had such awful bearing
down feelings, was depressed in
spirits and became thin and pale
with dull, Heavy eyes. I had six
doctors from whom I received only
temporary relief. I decided to give

meet and pay their just and honest
debts.
Under this sort of circumstances I
always look around for causes, and I
find one great reason so many fall be
hind is extravagant living, buying
things on credit that they could do
without.
Last year’s season^ were controlled
by the same Deity that is controlling
the seasons now. What is the condi
tion of things at present? It was too
cold for early planted cotton, so the
seed rotted in the ground, and follow
ing the cold weather it has quit rain
ing, so the greatest part of planted
cotton seed is dry, just lying there in
the dust, waiting for a shower to make
them germinate. It is evident that a
good cotton crop cannot he grown this
year, for cotton is usually chopped to
a stand and worked out when it has
been planted as long as It has this
season. There is a good stand no
where to he found.
Now, Mr. Farmer and Merchant, too,
you had better consider these condi
tions which stare you in the face, and
do business accordingly.
Bill Wood used to say, ‘‘Boys, an
account is easier to pay this fall than
two accounts are next year,” and that
is true, every bit of it. More Georgia
farmers will have two accounts this
fall than those who will have one ac
count. I speak for my section, of
course. t. J. H.
MILITANTS PLAGE BOMBS
THROUGHOUT LONDON CITY
Canisters of Explosives With
Partially Burned Fuse Are
Found Everywhere
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, May 19.—The militant suf
fragettes campaign of placing “bombs”
In public institutions to coerce the
government into granting the parlia
mentary franchise to Wumen, was car- ^ tuai VVMlun
ried on in several quarters of London I ing. ~WithVts catch
and the provinces today. 1
A workman-like canister of explo
sives with a clockwork attachment was
found in the Rotherhite public library
in southeast London this morning. it
was labeled “Votes for Women.” Ac :
cording to belief in some quarters it
was placed there by a man. Indeed,
the police suspect many men have
been engaged by officers of the militant
suffragettes’ society for this work.
Another machine was found today In
the letter box of the Wandsworth dis
trict postoffice in southwest London. It
consisted of a glass tube containing
fluid. A partly burned fuse was at
tached to one end. The police declare
the bomb was apparently set there by
militant suffragettes.
Still another canister of explosives
with a partially' burned fuse was found
today in Holy Trinity church in Hast
ings, a popular watering place on the
south ocast, where tl^p militant suf
fragettes have been most active during
the past week.
A defeat has been inflicted on the
government by the “wild women” in
the matter of the suppression of the
militant suffragettes newspaper, the
Suffragette*.
After Archibald Bodkin, counsel 'for
the treasury, had announced that the
government would prosecute any one
printing the newspaper in the future,
the labor press and some of the Liberal
newspapers which are the strongest
supporters of the present cabinet pro
tested that this was an infringement of
the liberty of the press.
The former Socialist member of par
liament, George Lansbury, and the So
cialist member, Jafnes Kerr Hardie, of
fered personally to undertake the pub
lication of the paper, but the suffra-.
gettes declined their offeV with scorn.
Thereupon the home office issued a
statement declaring that Mr. Bodkin’s
pronouncement had been misconstrued,
and that the WomeVi’s Social and Po
litical union, or any publisher could is
sue the Suffragette so long as it did
not contain a.ny incitements to crime.
falls on the spiritual; it enjoins these
offices of kindness not as the essence
of -religion, but as the fruit of re
ligion. This order is reversed in the
false view under consideration. By it
the spiritual is ignored and the phy
sical occupies the whole field of vision.
In the final outcome, such a doctrine
defeats its own proposals; for when the
spiritual is dried up, there will be no
reliable source from which streams of
benevolence will flow. Both commer
cialism and socialism spring from sel
fishness, and in the end both result in
making a blighted and arid social sys
tem. There is no process by which sel
fishness can be transmuted into any
good thing. It is a noxious thing to be
extirpated, rather than a wild thing
from the domestication of which good
can be drawn. This evil seed of social
selfishness—the doctrine that material
good is the highest good—must be de
stroyed.
By both precept and example a no
bler doctrine must be propagated; we
must maintain and constantly set for
ward the truth that the true end of
human life is spiritual, not material;
and that material good is real good
only when It is used to serve this end.
Preachers must proclaim this trutn
in all its full-orbed beauty and cease
enjoining the gospel of benevolence in
such a lop-sided way as to create more
covetousness than they correct.
Men and women, whom the Lord has
prospered, must by the Christian use
of their possessions, commend this
truth to the world. When one grasps
all he can, and keeps for his own use
all that he grasps, whether he be a
disciple of socialism or of commer
cialism. he proclaims his belief in the
creed of mammon wnlch affirms that
material good is the supreme good.
But when one parts with his money
to procure spiritual good for hlmseir
and others, he denies “this doctrine or
devils,” and proclaims his belief that
heavenly, not earthly r good is the su
preme need of human life.
There is a selfish waste of money
on vain display and luxurious indul
gences which inflames socialism and ex
cites social unrest. Banquets' and balls,
plays and pastimes, pursued as the
main business of life, breed vast evil.
Such living not only deifies material
good, but it selects a rather low sort
of material good for deification. When
lavish expenditures are made for so
cial baubles, the socialist can stand
up and justly demand to know, “Why
this waste of resources which might
better be used to relieve pressing hu
man want?”
Our people of wealth must cease
using their wealth as a mere toy, or
they will bring on a political revolu
tion in which they will lose the wealth
which they use (or misuse) so un
wisely.
Here is a recent utterance of Victor
L. Berger, Socialist ex-Congressman
from Wisconsin, which with all its im
plications will bear very careful con
sideration. He is reported as saying,
just before the close of his term in
Congress, the following:
“After I go out of office in March 1
propose to go on advocating that we
acquire the trusts Just as the trusts
acquired the corporations—by purchase.
In twelve years they would pay for
themselves, even if we paid a fat price
for them. Some Socialists don’t want
to pay up, but I do. It is the cheapest
way in the end. Henry Clay saw that
we must end slavery and he advocated
purchase. The South proved by the
Bible that slavery was right. The
North proved by the Bible that slavery
was wrong. And the North yelled
“graft” at the proposal to buy, while
the South yelled “confiscation.” And
a million men marched down to do the
work that $5,000,000 would have done
I love my country. I would gladly die
to-night if by dying I could add to the
realization on the part of brave
thoughtful men, that the end of the
present way Is close at hand.”
There Is a political tAnd in this coun
try which is moving in the same direc
tion as that in which Mr. Berger is an
"f. T Uh !t f, words' of “social
ujtsice, equality of opportunity,” etc
justice,” equality of opportunity," etc’
The men, who have set this current in
motion, and who are directing its
course, do not hesitate to say that they
are ready to disregard and set aside the
restraints of the federal constitution
whenever any part of that great instru
ment stands in the way of the execution
of their programme.
Our men of wealth are as blind as
bats, if they do not see what all this
means? Some of them may have tarried
so long under the garish lights of gild
ed clubs, luxurious banquet halls, and
sumptuous opera houses that they can
not see well In daylight; but, if so, it
is time they were clarifying their vision
by abstinence from such things for a
season. It is time they were showing
more wisdom in their personal expendi
tures.
If the wealthy people of Atlanta, for
example, have spent recently in one week
above $90,000 for opera tickets alone,
not to mention their other expenditures
during the same week for costumes,
dinners, and turnouts, they will do well
to make some notable contributions now
to Christian education and for some
other things by which money is trans
muted into higher good., It is time to
show a better side of themselves after
having shown the vain side so glar
ingly.
Routs in the palace mean in the end
riots in the streets. So it was in Baby
lon, In Rome, and In Paris; and so it
will be in America, if we fall to learn
the lesson which, as yet, it is not too
late to acquire.
The evotees of commercialism may de
nounce the disciples of socialism as
much as they will, but both parties are
planted upon the same evil principle of
the over-estimation of material good.
Let the commercialists renounce this
principle and begin to live on a higher
plane, and socialism will wither away.
But let them continue their riotous liv
ing, and they will fan the socialistic
flame which ,will consume them.
BY REV. ALEX W. BEALER.
ST. LOUIS, May 19.—The next con
vention of Southern Baptists will go
to Nashville, Tenn. The committee on
place of meeting had a number of in
vitations. Nashville and New Orleans
were the chief competitors and they
decided on Nashville. This will be
adopted by the convention.
Chattanooga and Macon, Georgia, are
already in the field for the 1915 con
vention. The selection of Nashville for
next year will give Macon a boom for
the following year.
In the discussion of the best way to
finance the Judson memorial movement,
Dr. John E. White, of Atlanta, select
ed on the religion of the late J. Pier-
pont Morgan. The will of the late
financier opened with a declaration of
faith in Christ which would have been
accepted by any preacher in the con
vention, he said, but the gifts did not
stand up to the profession of faith. In
running over the list. declared Dr.
White, it could be seen that everything
was given to perpetuate the name of
Morgan and nothing to give glory to
the name of Jesus Christ, so that his
profession of faith did not bear the
right sort of fruit.
BUSINESS IN THE CHURCH.
A report from Dr. W. W. Hamilton, of
Virginia, was adopted, the purpose of
which is to bring businesslike methods
into the churches. The committee
showed that the Bible commands regular
and systematic giving, that .it provides
for special collections, that it arranges
for gathering previously promised boun
ty, and that it indorses hilarious giving
in a time of great religious uplift. The
report recommends that systematic ef
fort be put forward to have every
church prepare a budget and that every
member o fthe church shall be made a
contributor of at least a dollar a year
for mission work.
An amendment was proposed to the
constitution of the southern Baptist
convention today to admit women on
the floor as delegates. A vote will be
taken before the convention adjourns.
The amendment was offered by R. H.
Coleman, a layman, of Dallas, Texas.
That there would be opposition to
the amendment was apparent when on
motion of Secretary Lansing Burrows,
Mr. Coleman was ordered to reduce his
amendment to writing. Coleman said
he already had it in writing. Then it
was referred to the order of business
committee, of which Rev. O. L. Hailey,
of Corsicana, Tex., is chairman.
When news of the amendment was
tawen to the Woman’s Missionary un
ion, auxiliary to the convention, there
was manifest enthusiasm. Rev. C. H.
Rust, of Rochester, N. Y., fraternal del
egate from the Northern Baptist con
vention, today expressed to the South
ern church the esteem of his organiza
tion and presented a large folral key
which, he said, was the key to the
love of the Northern Baptists.
The convention broke out in enthu
siastic demonstr&tioq.
Walter Dunson, of Atlanta, treasurer,
of the home missionary board, resigned
after nineteen years of service because of
the pressure of private business. Rev.
L. R. Warren, of Atlanta, reported on
the millon-dollar fund which is being
raised for the support of poor churches
in the south. He said the more than a
fourth of the amount had been raised
and that the remainder would be sub
scribed within a reasonable time.
The Southern Baptist convention be
gan considering the Laymen’s Mis
sionary Movement at 3 o’clock
Wednesday afternoon, and did not
conclude it until 4 o’clock. Just
a few minutes before the report
was adopted a telegram was received
from Baltimore announcing that J. Har
ry Tyler, the head of the movement,
had died at 3 o’clock. He had been in
declining health for several months. Spe
cial prayer was made for his family,
an da telegram of sympathy was or
dered sent to his family.
The evening session was spent in con
sidering the Judson memorial movement.

32-42 Means St.,
Eloped Forty Years
Ago With Man Who
Leaves Her Fortune
NEW YORK, May 19.—After forty
years of struggle to support Herself by
running a little bake sho^ in New
York, Mme. Charlotte Francoise Raus-
seau has learned that the man with
whom she eloped in France when she
was only sixteen years old, had died
leaving her a fortune of over $100,000.
The little gray-haired woman, who is
now* sixty-one years old, was the only
child of Henry Courdant, a wealthy oil
refiner in Lille, France, when she fell
in love with her father’s coachman.
Adolph Grusen, eighteen years old.
They ran away to Brussels to marry,
but their happiness lasted only a few
days, for the enraged father succeeded
in separating the couple. The broken
hearted girl later escaped from her
home, but was unable to find her hus
band, and, in desperation, she came to
America -to seek her living.
The letter she has just received from
a friend in France informs her that
the courts have been looking for her for
the past four years, since her hus
band died leaving her about 500,000
francs in. money, a cross of the Le
gion of Honor and sealed papers ad
dressed to her.
The woman had heard during the
past forty years only vague reports
to the effect that her lost husband
had gone to Algieres in the foreign
legion and that he had died fifteen
years ago. Supposing him dead she
married John Bousseau in this coun
try, but he died a few months after
the wedding.
Mme. Bousseau is planning to re
turn to France and spend the rest of
her adys there.
DEMOCRATS AGREE UPON
PROGRAM FOR CAMPAIGN
WASHINGTON, May 19.—Officers of
the Democratic National and Congres
sional committees today mapped out a
program for active co-operation in the
coming congressional and presidential
campaigns and placed it in the hands
of a joint committee composed of Na
tional Committeemen Palmer of Penn
sylvania; Howell, of Georgia; Sells of
Texas; Lynch, of Minnesota, and Cum
mings of Conecticut and two senators
and three represetnatives acting for the
congressional comittee. President Wil
son has expressed himself as being in
thorough sympathy with the program.
The plans are designed to concentrate
campaign strategy.
Charity Spent $5,000
To Probe Needs of a
Woman Drawing $300
CHICAGO, May 19.—Records intended
to show that the woman dependent upon
charity received Jess than $300 during
eighteen months, while approximately
$5,000 was spent In investigating her
condition, were produced today before
the legislative committee investigating
charitable Institutions.
The benefleary was Mrs. Maggie Us-
tich. Two of her children were asphyx
iated late last year.
A portion of the record of the case
submitted by Rev. F. R. J. Lloyd,
member of the legislative committee,
follows:
“Charitable organizations rendering
service, 16; courts rendering service, 2;

Social Suggestion
A Barrier in Every
School Boy’s Path 1
BOSTON, Mass., May 19.—Sociat
suggestion is usually responsible when
boys “go to the bad.” in the opinion
of Prof. M. V. O’Shea, of Wisconsin
university, who addressed the National
Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teach
er association last night.
Lessons on the effects of alcohol
and tobacco, and sex education/ would
not prevent the development of habits
that waste the energy of youth, he
said. Boys need protection from sug
gestions forced upon them.
“It is generally agreed that the chief
danger to the boy is that he will give
himself up to vice,” said Prof. O’Shea.
“The impulses that lead him in this
direction ar© the strongesf in his being
and unfortunately he can hardly turn
around in a modern city without an
appeal to these impulses.
“These suggestions came in the sit
uations presented in plays, in the songs
and th© dances and in all the sugges
tions of the stage. The most potent of
all is the'appeal made to him on the
street by those who make their living
thereby."
=Woman’s Danger Signals
Hot flashes—dizziness, fainting spells, headache, bearing-down
feeling and ills of a kindred nature—are nature’s danger signals.
The female disturbance or irregularity back of these calls for help]
should have immediate care and attention. Otherwise the delicate
female constitution soon breaks down.
