The auto will do the work of several horses. A road machine will do the work of several men. Some of the best farmers of the state are us ing riding cultivators and lother ma chinery and are pleased at the results. We saw one field of cotton last year that, had no plow in it after planting except a. two-horse riding cultivator. It was in;-good condition. Good com mon .sense with many implements may save you a thirty dollar hand. Ycur hardware men will be glad to show you. We use the cotton planter. We use grain drill. We use the corn droper. We use the binder. We use the fertilizer distributor. We learned their value by using them. . \ COTTON. We, were recently associated with more than one hundred county agents from every part of the state at ihe State College of Agriculture at Ath ens. It was the opinion of most of the agents that the price of cotton through the fall would cause a large acreage to be planted to cotton this year. We have been over a good portion of our county, and it seems that farmers are planning a big cotton acreage this year. There al-e three times as much wheat sown as last year, but we see but few oats and most of them are killed, and we hear of but little plan ning to sow spring oats. Cotton is bringing a high price this season because the South has made four short crops. It will go higher if farmers will fix the price and hold to, their cotton, provided the farmers will not plant a large acreage this spring. If the farmer holds his cotton and plants a large acreage, there will be but slight advahee in price. The farmer has the bulk of the crop yet. and the mills are getting enough to carry them. We all know a smali crop brings more money to the South than does a large one. Live stock are high in price and scarce. The price of wheat is fixed at $2.20. They are safe. * All the world except the South wants cheap cotton and is doing its best to make it cheap. When you plan and plant a large acreage this year, you will do exactly what the rest of the world wants done. YOU WILL GET LESS FOR WHAT YOU HAVE ON HAND. Study this matter seriously and do what is best for this Southland of ours! I am now enrolling club members for the present year, and I would like to have the name of every boy from ten to eighteen years grow an acre of com this year. The world needs it. Three out of every four boys of the county will live on farms when they get to be men, and corn is the most important grain crop we can grow. Why not encourage him to be gin his life work now? The bankers and best business men of the state tell us the work of the boys’ Corn club has added millions to Georgia’s wealth every year it has been organized. On every farm should be corn, and the boys now will be the future pro ducers of corn. Encourage your boy to join and then your neighbor’s boy. On every farm should be a hog and the boys last year showed what they can do with a pig when given a chance. We are told meat will be high for several years to come. On every farm should be a cow and. we have seen but few boys that did not enjoy having a calf. Then at every home should be a nice lot of pure-bred poultry. The only way poor people can eat chicken is to raise chickens. I don’t ask you for one thing that you do not need at home. One of the requirements of a standard school in Georgia today is that it must have these clubs. Go to the schools that have made most progress in recent years and you find boys’ and girls’ clubs. A good corn club at your school is a sign that you are encouraging the boys of the community. A good pig tells whether you are encouraging the boys to grow pigs. Let’s have every boy in the school growing something this year. I want your boys in the club. I want a good club from your school. Won’t you help? Won’t you encourage that boy to grow something himself? W. N. D. DIXON, County. Agent. FAYETTE’S SECOND LOSS. A sad death to the people of our county was that of Mr. Andrew Wes ley at Camp Hancock near Augusta last week. His father received a tel egram on Sunday before and he and his son rushed to his bedside. His condition was thought better and his father returned. Later :a telegram told of his death. His remains arrived at Woolsey- on Monday and the funeral was held on Tuesday. Pneumonia was the cause of his death. Andrew was twenty-eight years of age and enlisted in the army last June. After a short course of train ing at the Georgia Tech, he was trans ferred to the ordnance department at Camp Hancock near Augusta and re mained there until his attack of pneu monia, which resulted in his death. Andrew was a son of Mr. W. A. Wesley of near Woolsey and was born j and reared in that vicinity. He united i with the Baptist Church when about; fourteen years of age, and was held j in high esteem by all his acquaintances both old and young. He is survived by several brothers and sisters, and his father, Mr. W. A. Wesley. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the people of the en tire county. PERMANENT PEACE. When the Angelic convoy swung beneath Judean skies and sung, “Peace on earth and good will to men’’ it' announced the only method of permanent peace. Mart has no sys tems or methods whereby to obtain permanent peace. Since Cain killed Abel war has been in the blood of men. We may have a league of na tions and freedom of the seas, but ere permanent peace comes to the earth men will be tied together with the cords of sympathy and brotherhood that tied Mary’s son to the publican, drunkard and harlot as He went trudging over the hard hills of the first century. J Man has tried every thing. Law, money, science, ethics, militarism and yet there are lines everywhere. 'God’s method in making nations a great incorporate whole is not displacement, money, politics, science, ethics, education nor mili tarism, but a doctrine of progress whose basic and controling principle, is inly motive. No nation is a full nation. God gave the Jew religion, the Roman law, the. Greek culture, the Saxon the pow er to speak, write and invent the Russian patience, the Jap the alert ness of mind, the' Chinaman power to jimitate, but His purpose that threads the ages is oneness for man. All men when man rounds into his own are t® meet, somewhere on a common level. It will be at Calvary. All nations were one on the day when iPentecost had fully come. The world has been created. The cornerstone of time has been laid, the frame work of time built, the ocean- beds have been mashed out, the mountain tops pulled into the clouds, the plains ironed off but the greatest demonstration of divine power is yet to take place. The day when the Son of God sees the full travail of His soul and is satisfied; the day when man will apprehend Christ for that for which He was apprehended of Christ. Down in the midst of the will of God on the unbatterable rock of love and faith. War, liquor, sin, money and hell are not powers but the prostitution of power—anarchy in the kingdoms of power—strokes at the throne of power. It is entirely correct to say that all power is of God. The power that makes the sap rise is the power of God; the power that holds the world on its axis is the power, of God; the power that holds the sun in his place is the pow er of God; the power that holds the stars in their respective sockets till the vaulted dome of the meridian skies looks like the crown of Deity is the power of God; the power that holds the moon, a lifeless, unanswer able orb, in its orbit is the power of God; the power that has piled myr iads of systems on trials of systems and led .them with perfect accuracy- through millions of years is the pow er of God, but when God’s power will be seen at its best will be on the ground as He ties in one all the nations of the earth. Then will we learn war no more—then will we bend swords into plowshares—then will the knowledge of the Lord sweep from sky to sky catching within its glori ous folds men everywhere. I’m in favor of believing this, passing it on and hoping for its glorious appear ing. I feel no terror in looking for the Iron-rule of the Son of God when j He shall frown into oblivion the war j spirit of man and stand with His ; glorious presence upon an earth re- j newed in righteousness—the world j His footstool. His will the law of men. A league of nations, a great i corporate Whole and not an aggrega tion of struggling, distrusting indivi-[ duals. WILL HILL. A REAL MAN It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have 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. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. Webster’s Most Profitable Book. ‘•‘Noah Webster,” says the book ot copyrights, “probably got more for bis spelling book than was ever paid for any other book in the United Stales We are unable to state the entire sun. that was pn'1 him for the copyright of that little book, but think it must have been more than $50,000. Ills large dictionary, a work on which he spent the greatest part of his life, din not yield him a tenth part of the oroflts of his spelling book.” In the Nature of Apology.
