el twenty-odd years back, to tho
i.vs when tho country was sparsely
tiled and folks from far and wlilo
ithrrcd here at stated Intervals for
vial intercourse and divine wor-
hip. The location was originally
mown as and named 'Antioch. In
ityr years the name of tho settle-
lint was changed to Stephens In
onor of tho memory of that Ulus-
riuiis son of Georgia, Alexander H.
lepheni. Though hearing new-the.
itter name tho settlement la stUte
thought of and called hy the name

"Better times arc Just ahead for

president of the State College of Agri
culture. This Is the bollef that hati
been expressed by numbers of bank
officials, cotton factors and others who
are In a position to forecast. It will.
be recalled that Roger Babton, finan
cial expert In America, stated at the
International convention of Iflwanl*

Dr.-Soule has Just returned from a
motor trip through south Georgia and
gives an Interesting account of con
ditions In that section, together wltn
hls opinion relative to future condi
tions .In the state. During a recent In
ti rvlow lie stated that Georgia was
never confrohted by brighter pros
pects for n bumpor crop; that the
major portion of tho crops being made
this year are of food and feedstuff*;
that this year’s crops are being mado
st minimum expense to the producer.
8pd that there Is every Indication that
good and profitable prices will be re
ceived for them.
"If you feel blue, take a spin
through south Georgia, look at tho
crops und chctr up." Is Dr. Soulo’e op
timistic advice; and It. Is good ad
vice, Jtpr If there is any one man that
knows more than any other man about
crops and rare) conditions In Ooorgla
he Is Dr. 8oulo, who knows agricul
ture "llko a hook." whose life Is a
study of rural conditions and who
always has hls "car to the ground."'

he said, "fend turning fiat!” .
Continuing, ho declared)

for a dky spell to hurt It. Peanut*,

"And cotton looks flne. In same

would apperr that tbe damage Is

"There Is evident ajcousldereble re
