THE NEW 11ENRY FORD. by
Allan L, Henson (Funk and Wag-
nails) 12.00.
"The New Henry Ford" an au
thentic biography is the title of
one of the newest books dealing
with great men t- come off the
presses. Coming-out at the time
it does when there is so much talk
about Ford and the presidency
there is naturally more interest
attached to the volume than there
woyld be were It nothing more than
the story, of u great maufacturing
genius. But, in fact, this is abou/

.story of how Henry Ford b^gai.

horseless buggy” arid later be
came the world’s greatest nr tnu-
facturer of medium priced aul »mo-
biles. '
In Justice to both the subject of
the book and the author, it might
be added that there, is a tittle lit
erary merit attached to the work-
The style in which the book i*
written Is clear and convincing
and the paragraphs in quotation
credited to 31 r. Ford are terse,
Pithy, and sometimes axiomatic.
Although differing widely from
the theories of other men who
have become great, there is much
good advice, wisdom, -abd philoso*
phy attached to Mr. Ford’s way of
thinking about many things.
Especially Interesting is it to
note Mr. Ford’s ideas about money
Although he* is a billionaire and
conceded to be the richest man In
the world, he emphatically de*
dares in^his biography that money
ought to he a secondary considera
tion. Uh expresses the belief that
when a man industrials applies
himself to tho thing in which he if
interested, the money Will be forth
coming. A man who thinkr f'rsl
of getting money and second ol
how he is to get it hasn't ni'ich
chance, argue! tUs great automo
bile manufacturer.
The last chapter of the hook
written after the biography proper
and^which, as the author explains
Mr."*Ford has not read deals with
Mr. Ford and the presidency. It
is in this chapter tint the state
ment is credited ltd Mr. 'Ford tha
there will be another war and In
which he argues that the United
States should get in early . and
dean the thing up. This indicate*
a decided change In Mr. Ford’s na
ture since 1914 because.lt will he
recalled that he was quite pacific
at that time and was even gen
erous enough to provide the^ weT
remembered "Peace Ship."
In this last chapter It is strong
ly intimated that Mr. Ford would
like to have tb« presidency and
this Is explained through the fact
that ufter his race for the senator-
ship of Michigan, he later decided
that If he was to be a politician he
ought to be onp on a big scale

would suppose. “His learning is ol
a different sort,” it is declared.
The author says that Mr. Ford ha*

muddled in that way. On a suc

„ As propaganda for the presidency
“The New Henry Ford” Is an ex
tremely good book. As “a biogra
pby, there are many that outrank
it. It could never hope, it seemr
to tljis writer, to compare with
such hooks as "A Man From

Still, it must be tald that It Is en

"THE DAYLIGHT CORNER
Corner Broad and Jackson Streets ~
Pr 6 m i n e n t Oglethorpe
Planter Entertains 250
Guests At Bounteous
Spread.
* By T. LARRY GANTT
On Thursday Tom Erwin gav
his annual barbecue at his farm
in Oglethorpe county, below
terville. This is an event bageily
looked forward to by the hoV. of
friends of Tom’s, for they know It
will be one of the most, delightful
oveStc of the year. And that bar
becue was a success froni start to
finish. Judge Hodges another gen-
t el man who could tAirly catlmhte
crowds said there were at least
250 persons present. And they
came from all neighboring coun
ties and sections, and comprises
every calling and avocation.
There were eminent ministers
of the Gospel, leading members of
the bar, judicial officers, bankers,
merchants and fanners. A number
of ladles from Wlntervllle and oth
er sections graced the occasion
with their presence. Athens sent
a largo delegation. Among the
gue3ts were Judge Hodges and So-
licGcr Skelton, of Hartwell.
And/to think of one farmer serv
ing such a feast to such a multi
tude. And Indeed it was a’renal,
for whatever Tom Erwin under
takes Jie makes a success. Besides
fy*rbocued me«ts of all kinds,cool#
td to a turn, three long tables were
laden with all manner of decfcades
like cakes, pies, and other good
eatables. Iced lemonade and hot
coffee wore served.
And after the crowd had eaten,
whole ..carcasses were smoking
over the long pit. And the guests
rffd not/have to stand un and eat
from rough tables, but white cloths
were spread and seats provided
for all. I do not believe a more de
lightful and successful barbecue
was ever spread. Rev....Coile In
yoked Divine blessings while tho
guests stood with bared heads. The
dinner was served in the grove in
front of the residence and the
grounds thickly parked with cars
it was Indeed an enjoyable occas
ion to the writer, for we met
number of old friend*. maiy of
whom we had not seen in years.
TOM ERWIN 18
SELF-MADE MAN
"Tom Erwin is a self-made man
and his friends are numbered by
all who know him. He Is one of
the leading and most progressive
farmers In this section, and pro
year be.bhs 150 acres planted in
duces record-breaking.crons. This
cotton. Tom says while tho boll
weevil Is giving him trouble. If the
wins hold up he will make a c^t-
tort crop. We asked if his cotton
would average half a*bale per acre.
With a smile he remarked that he
counted on «t least that much. I.
have known •Tom Erwin fo rthese
many years..He has the confidence
and respect of overy person who
knows him.
From the , assembling of the
guests until they took th«ir depart
ure, the day vftis ono of unalloyed
pleasure. Mr. Erwin saw that his
guests were served and did all pos
sible to make them enjoy them
selves, and he certainly succeeded.
It was with regret that the crowd
dispersed and all united In extend
ing Tom Erwin their thanks for
his boundless and unstinted hospi
tality.
J.
We have never seen finer crops
than are between Athens and Tom
Erwin’s. Corn Is made and It looks
as If yields of from 25 to 35 bush
els per acre are assured. And great
fields have been planted. And you
also see tho finest peas, potatoes,
forage crops, peanuts, and al! oth
er manner cf food stuff growing.
As far as the eye can raech a scene
of bounteous harvests meet the
gaze. And all of these crop* are
now made. And cotton is altfo much
better than we expected. Fields
are white with blooms, showing
that the boll weevil has no! as yet
gotten all of the squares. W* met
and talked with farmers from sev
eral counties and sections, and
they say It U remains dry awbilo
they are assured of a good cotton
crop. They are 'at work fighting
ithe pest.

1 if rains held lip he Is good,
their reports and the look i
crops, much ot the cotton .planted
this year will make a bale per
acre, if they can fenly keep the
weevil down; and if the rains
ftetJ up they will do this.
FbOD CROPS
FOUND ON ALL FARMS
Rev. W. H. Faust, of Atlanta.
aays,he has recently.travelled ovei
several counties Jd this section
and Providence hafc surely smiled
upon the farmer. He says wherever
he goes he sees the most promis
ing crops^And the greatest abun
dance of food stuff will be made
this year. Not only are farmers j
raising corn, k&y and all else to
run their places next year, but we
have not talked to a man but who
says he will kill plenty of pork to
do him.
And the most encouraging part
fa that farmers have made this
crop without going In debt, and
when gathered it will belong to
tho grower and not bo turned over
to creditors. It means that the
commlng fall farmers and their
wjfyes are going to have more
caBh to spend than since the war j
between the states. Our merch- 1
ants will wo a great trade and it
will be cash.
Besides the pleasure of enjoying
Mr. Erwin’s hospitality, tha\trlp
out in the country was a revela
tion and inspiration to our citizens.
Hon. TTW. Rucker, who was in
the party, says he ngver saw such
bounteous crops and corn and all
other products were as fine as *4©
K»nd con produce.
~1t Is hoped that tUo rains are
•over and If so a surprisingly fine
cotton crop will bo made. The out
look for the future was never
brighter than toMy.
