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 Tennessee City Awarded Con clave of Southern Church men Over New Orleans BISHOP WARREN A. CANDLER. 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.

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. KJ FBOMMRS. I>.

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 Lydia E- Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound a fair trial and also the Sani- tive Wash.

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. $40*79 YOU ON THIS FINE A-GRADE '•'■TV WHITE STAR TOP BUGGY COMPLE1E WITH HARNESS Direct from Factory to You at Wholesale Price s )* r A-GraS* Tep Dutdtt were «oM br Buggy Dealera at $7.5 09 to $90.00 and w«r« con*id«r«d a great bargain at that price.

GOLDEN EAGLE BUGGY COMPANY 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; individuals investigating, 82; physi cians in attendance, 11; nurses in attend ance, 3; pulmotors rendering service, 2; visits and interviews in regard to Mrs. Ustich, 105; cash paid to Mrs. Ustich by United Charities, $299; cash spent by all organizations, corporations and individuals investigating case, $5,000. “This is one of the apparent abuses we are trying to correct,” said Mr. i Lloyd. 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.
