"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/ al {there is to the book—the .story of how Henry Ford b^gai. early In life to work on hi* 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 1 herefore the presidency w*s the prize fn» him tp-take.’ I for a fine crop.

It is stated that while ( Mr. Ford has alwayi referred to histor* as "mush,” hd] dinner have from ope to two bun Is not as ignorant as some people deed acres in cotton. And frofcj would suppose. “His learning is ol a different sort,” it is declared. The author says that Mr. Ford ha* read little during his life time be cause he did not want his clear straight-forward thinking mind muddled in that way. On a suc cessive page the Author has sAme* •thing to say about Mr. Ford’s li brary and the books there with worn pages, indicating the bQokl of Mr. Ford's preference. „ 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 Maine,” and numbers of others Still, it must be tald that It Is en tertaining reading and much good can he derived from the book.

MORRIS "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. - .. .*.-r —-'>*«"»■ were several away, of Smith - has 700 acre! in cot- 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.
