A REAL MAN It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you havfe an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. The FAYETTEVILLE NEWS VOL. XXX. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 13, 1918. NO 22 { HOME AFFAIRS ) Mr. I. M.

Are you planting fruit trees. Start an orchard at your home whether you own the land or not. It may help your boy out of some other man’s orchard in the ^ears to come. I have farms for rent three and one- half miles east of Fayetteville. Will rent them or have them cultivated on shares. MRS. J. ,W. GRAY. Fayetteville 3. Maurice Gilbert was one of the few boys growing corn and a pig too this year. He made a fair yield of corn and has a nice pig. He sent in his reports some time back. Would that every boy would grow an acre of corn and a pig next yeai 1 * A mighty good rule would be to give your church a little more than you give the state in taxes. In one you give to God, the other you give to the state, but the trouble is too many leave God’s part unpaid. Miss Ellie Hill and Mr. G. P. Stench- comb were married at the parsonage Sunday by Rev.

He reports a pleasant trip and also was pleased with the interest of the peo ple in live stock throughout the cpun- try. Mrs. Joe Gilbert of Cincinnati, Ohio, was the guest of Mrs. W. J. Stell this week. The many friends of Mr. Webb Mash regret that hb was wounded in the last day of the war. He was one of the first four selectmen and from all accounts made a good soldier. He was doing well when last heard from. A telegram yesterday to Mr. J. G. Posey at Brooks say his son, Albert, died of pneumonia on October 1st. Al bert volunteered before he was draft ed and was making a good soldier. This is the first death occurring at a camp of a boy from Fayette and the people of the entire county join The News in the condolence to the be reaved father and mother. Mr. W. A. Wesley was here recently and said his boy had made 45 bushels of corn this year that would not have been cultivated had he not joined the corn club. He was proud of his boy’s efforts and believes the boys should be given a chance. Wish wo-had more fathers of the same opinion. Walter, Clark and Nouie Huckaby of Brooks joined the corn club this year and, notwithstanding the dry weather, they each had a good acre of corn. They each made their reports Ajith three boys from one family tpying to make the most corn. Some of them will make good corn growers. Hon. C. D. Redwine reports that a Georgia boy won first place in its class with his Hampshire hog in Chi cago last week. This shows what a Georgia boy can do with a well-bred and well-cared for Georgia hog, and yet we have parents who will dis courage their boy in the pig club. Ev ery boy can raise a hog a year and we believe he should be encouraged to do so. The county commissioners have purchased a pair of pure-bred Hamp shire hogs for the pauper farm. Since they have undertaken to grow feed- stuffs at the farm, it is necessary to have, some livestock and they could not have done better than get hogs to consume the waste corn and other waste foods. The sow brought pigs after she was bouhgt and at the mar ket price of pigs of such breeding they will pay the price for the sow and her keep until weaning time. Stamps Since the stars of the morning first sang together and the sons of God shouted that God had laid the cor ner stone of time, erected the frame work of creation, mashed out ocean beds and pulled the mountain tops above the clouds, scarcely has there been a more critical time with man than now. These days that we are in are pregnant with potentialities for the future. Epoch-making- will be that august body that will convene in world conference in Europe. When the first pair were driven from their Edenic abode and kept from the tree of life by Cherubim and flaming sword, it was a great day when God to Noah said, Go before the maddened hosts of sin rushing on to fill its cup of iniquity, exhaust divine patience and bring the storm of an insulted heaven’s wrath upon it, and lift the voice of warning, it was great day; when the angelic choir swung beneath the stars and sang “Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and goodwill to men,” it was a great day; when Mary’s Son, a young peasant Jew, with only thirty-three years upon his life hung on the cross of Rome with His dying head on His throbless breast, crying “It is finish ed,’’ it was a great day; when He stood amid the gorgeous splendors of the world’s first Easter morning, it was a great day, but whether ife. is weighing on us or not, we are living now in truly a great day. The respon sibilitieS of that conference will be as heavy as rock. It holds the world’ future. Not since the first century church came shouting over Judean hills, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand,” has there been greater tasks on the shoulders of finite man. If the work of this conference is rock-rib bed the gates of hell will beat them selves to smithereens against it, but if built of “wood, hay and stubble, the futures fires ’-'off 'testings will ’^raze it to the earth and the world will go back to war, sooner or later." This is a big, red-blooded, restless world that we are living in, and has ^so much enregy that it is going to spend So if it can be disciplined so it will spend those energies on the construct ive side of life, well and good; if not, it will spend them in war. Spain had an opportunity to con quer the world, and fought it away; some tried to Romanize the world with the sword and it failed; Greece tried culture and it was found wanting; Ger many tried militarism and it has fail ed; and now, if America tries com mercialism it will miserably fail. Jesus, Christ gave the world a pro gressive message founded on princi ple instead of a detailed code, sealed it with His blood and tears and said it would not fail. Individuals have, but the world has never tried this message. It’s the message of “Good Will,’’ and “Brotherhood.” America has the men, machinery and money to give this message to the world, and the world ought to be in condition to try it out as man has been a failure under every dispensa tion since the beginning of its pilgrim age through time. The stuff that the world has tried since it started its journey to the judgment has failed, and that is not the ideal. Man, in the purpose, and at the finger-tips of God, is not a failure. Man has been a failure because he has been a fooh The things that he has deified have been as mortal as he. He has stooped below the lilies. The things of faith alone are absolute. Germany started to hell when she said, “We won’t ac cept anything that we can’t reason out.” She said, “If faith is faculty of man at all it is the frailest faculty of the soul.” She has wanted the philosophy of prayer and a blood atonement explained to her intellect or she would reject it. She did reject it, and went to hell for it, too. Faith final exercise of CT7, vVJ* A few years ago some one spoke lightly of the number of people who met the train here. They exaggerated, but it is a mighty good place to go to see who keeps employed. You nearly always find the idle people there and by this we mean you will see them night after night. But few people have business there every night. We opposed the tax equalization law because we did not believe it would reach the tax dodger. The peo ple place the blame on the county as sessors and county authorities. The tax law has never done one thing ex cept to raise taxes on visible property. These big towns want to make the little places bear more of the burden, while they feed and build from the little counties. The land and visible property has always borne its pro We were late with The News last week.

If America shall give herself to the world it will be because she lifts her gaze above money and puts it on men, the brothers of the living Christ. By doing this she may go as a missionary to the world, giving the world her philosophy, religion, literature, ideals, ideas, politics, sciences, methods of commerce, forces of construction, ma- A folding purse containing two twen ty ($20) dollar bills, one 10-dollar and $1.75 in silver.
