FLEMING, Representing GEORGIA COTTON GROWERS’ ASSO CIATION, Places Cotton in the Lead of the Church. Andrew J. Fleming, representing the Georgia Cotton Growers’ .Co-Op erative Association, spoke to an en thusiastic audience of Fayette farm ers, Tuesday afternoon, at the court house in Fayetteville. J. J. Brown was to speak at this meeting as ad vertised, but at a late hour found that he would be unable to meet his ap pointment and sent Mr. Fleming in his stead. Fleming spoke interesting of the cotton outlook and explained fully the workings of the co-operative plan. In so doing he referred to the Fruit Or ganization of California, and made a comparison of fruit and cotton—stat ing that fruit was a non-essential, and that cotton was essention as a com modity. In this comparison his zeal over came him and he so stated that all departments of life—Merchants, Law yers, Doctors ( and Farmers—would suffer unless cotton was recognized as an essential commodity and without so doing that “missionaries and preach ers could not hope to carry on their labors. The editor of The News takes ex ception to this comparison, and wishes to inform Mr. Fleming and his co workers who may endorse this expres sion, that God, the Very One that Mr. Fleming disgustingly called upoa ^n his address, can evangelize this world, evejji without cotton. Cotton may be an essential com modity for the vultures to prey upon, Mr. Fleming, but the Georgia cotton growers’, co-operative association 'is no exception—the Christian Index to the contrary. We desire the very best for the farmers of Fayette, and the cotton growers’ association has a good plan, but in defiance to God, to whom you are dependent for your /product—in making this commodity more essential than God’s church, nothing but sure disaster can befall you. Were Mr. Fleming its only representative, I should say the brand of Cain is upon it. ED. EBENEZER. Aunt Archie Ann Cox is quite sick at this writing. We hope for her a speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Betsil visited the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isma Adams, one day last week. Mrs. A. J. Phillips and children of Fairburn visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B.

Tinsley visited Mr. and Mrs. Lum Greer and family last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Bogan Williams are all smiles—it’s a girl. One of Ed Dansby’s (deceased) boys was accidentally shot by one of his brothers recently. , He is in a criti cal condition, as he is paralyzed from his waist down. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Brown of Nyson visited Mr. M. L. Brown and family last Sunday. Miss Dora Sneed spent a few days last week with her sister, Mrs. I. E. Loyd. We are not having any school. It seems bad to keep our children out of school about seven an da half months in a year. “SILENT.” ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD NEW COUNCIL INSTALLED DR. G. W.
