The constant and unending stream of murders,' robberies, pilferings, breaches of trust, divorces, scandals and other off-colorings of humanity por trayed in the daily press lead many to the belief that the American people, as a race, are deteriorating. Certainly the indictment is terrific and appalling, with hut limited correctr iye measures applied. It does not necessarily imply, though, that the people, as a whole, are failing to keep moral pace with the times. It is probably no more than the placing of emphasis on the weaker side of hu mantly, whereas, the better side at tracts but little attention. When the men and women of the present generation were .young, there was not so much publicity as there is today. The latest scandal was not smeared all over the first page of the morning paper, ready to be read at the breakafst table. The daily press did not go into every sensational detail then, as is too often done now. The morbid curiosity was lexistent then as much as now, but the press was more considerate in the matter of publishing nauseating details and placing them before the young 'chil dren of the day. It was not the cus tom of the tjfne. We have many millions more people than we had fifty years ago, hence there is naturally more crime to be expected and chronicled. Then, too, the freedom of the press makes it appear even, more numerous than it really is. Regardless of the moral filth that is paraded before the public day after day, we do not believe the American people are degenerating. , A . certain noise-making and stench-producing mi nority are; but the people, as a class, are as clean-minded as any people on earth—more so thtm those of some na tions we might mention. A strengthening and tightening up of law and order would be beneficial, and that will come in time, just as it did in the old frontier days when the six- gun ruled. The law-abiding element will stand just about a certain amount of skul duggery and ruffianism, and then its patience will snap. When the debris is cleared away we will be morally cleaner, healthier and better in every way. The American mind rises above a continual state of debauchery. Solid Island Of Salt Is Discovered New (Orleans, La.—Cote Blanche, an island on the south Louisiana coast, has been found to be virtually an island of salt, according to authen tic information reaching here. The island is one of a series of several containing valuable salt deposits and including Averys site of the world’s largest salt mine. Cote Blanche is owned by .Donelson, Caffery, New Orleans, lawyer, and the heirs of J. M. Burguieres, wealthy planter. Local geologists claim that the recent dis covery proves a century-old conten tion that the chain of islands was formed by the expansion of vast saline d( posits. The Averys island store was discovered during the civil war. ROUND TRIP SUMMER EXCURSION TICKETS VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM now on sale to Various Resorts in all parts of the United States Write V.

D„ Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©, 1881, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 25 REVIEW. GOLDEN TEXT—As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially them who are of the household of faith.—Gal. 6:1-10. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Gal. 6:1-10. PRIMARY TOPIC-Stories of Paul. JUNIOR TOPIC—Serving Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Living for Jesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Sacrificing for Jesus. Two methods may profitably be em ployed in the review of the lessons of the Quarter. First, a biographical sketch of the Apostle Paul, such as ills birth, home training, education, conversation, teaching and missionary work. Second, the leading teachings of the lessons, which may be made prominent by summarizing the facts of each lesson and stating the most vital teaching thereof. The first meth od can be used in reviewing (he les sons in all departments and grades, nurl can be easily adapted by any teacher. The second method will be preferred by many in the senior and adult classes. The following is given by way of suggestion: Lesson 1. Paul was born at Tarsus, of Hebrew parentage. Being brought up in a pious home, he was thorough ly imbued with the spirit of, devotion to tlie Scriptures. He was educated at Jerusalem under the tutorship of Gamaliel. The chief text book was the Bible. In addition to his religious training lie was (aught a trade which came in very useful later, enabling him to support himself while preach ing the gospel. Lesson 2. In Paul’s training as a Pharisee, he was taught to love his own nation, to kve God's !avv, and to be zealous toward God, that is, to have a passion for God and His work. Lesson 3. Paul’s burning hatred qf Jesus incited him to endeavor to stamp out the Nazarene heresy. While on the way to Damascus, with author ity to arrest and imprison the believ ers, men and women, he was stricken with blindness and fell to the earth, and Jesus spoke to him from heaven, saying, “Why persecutest thou me?” In response to the heavenly instruc tion lie went to Damascus where Ananias baptized him, and he received his sight and was filled with the Holy Spirit. Lesson 4. Paul straightway preached C'hrist ill the synagogue. Like every one who is really converted he began to tell of the newly found Saviour. After a lengthy sojourn in Arabia he visited Jerusalem where lie was be friended by Barnabas when suspected by the disciples. Lesson 5. When the religious awaken ing at Antioch had come to the atten tion of the Jerusalem church, Bar nabas was sent to inspect it, and see ing help was needed he brought Paul from Tarsus to lie his helper. Lesson 6. After teaching a year at Antioch, the Spirit moved the church to send forth Barnabas and Paul to evhngelize the heathen.’ The church sent her best men. Lesson 7. As Paul and Barnabas were preaching at Iconium, an at tempt was made to worship them as gods. Their efforts were frustrated by the tact of Paul. Soon nfter this Paul was stoned, showing that satanlc worship can soon be turned Into Satan ic hate. Lesson 8. Paul's preaching the grace of God to the heathen brought on a controversy in the church at Antioch. The question in dispute was: “Shall Gentiles be required to keep the Mosaic law as a condition of salva tion?" The decision was in favor of Paul, and so Paul and Barnabas were free to begin their second missionary journey. Lesson 9. The Spirit forbade Paul to tarry longer in the provinces of Asia preaching the Gospel, and by a vision of a man from Macedonia plead ing for help, he was called into Eu rope. Lesson 10. The casting out of a demon from a young woman resulted In landing Paul and Silns in jail. They were miraculously delivered and the jailer was converted. Lesson 11. Being driven out from Thessaionica and Berea, Paul went to Athens where he preached the gospel on Mars’ Hill, The result of hif|preach- ing here was that some mocked, some procrastinated, and some believed. Lesson 12. Paul in this lesson sets forth the grund principles which should govern the believer’s life, the sum and substance of which Is: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." GEORGIA HAPPENINGS OF TIMELY INTEREST BROOKS. Atlanta.—Henry B. Scott, of 176 Myrtle street, President of the Atlan ta Real Estate board, was*-severely in jured and his wife painfully hurt when an automobile in which they were riding was struck by a cur, in which three negroes were riding, at Jack- son and Tenth streets recently. Mr. Scott was taken to the Davis-Fischer sanitarium, and Mrs. Scott to the St. Joseph’s infirmary, as there was no accommodations for her at the former hospital. Police are seeking Robert Durham, a negro who, they state was driving the car which smashed into that in which Mr. Scott and his wife were riding. Washington, D. C.—Georgi’a manu facturers showed an increase of 173.5 per cent in the value ofi their prod ucts in 1919 compared w-fth 1914, the census bureau announced recently. Their value was $693,556,000, com pared with $253,271000 five years pre viously. Wages and salaries paid showed an increase of 155.4 per cent in the five years, mounting from $258,- 326,000 to $448,932,000. These prod ucts were the output of 4,803 factor ies, an increase of 164 engaging 141,- 080 persons, an increase of 22,215 persons, or 19 per cent in the five years. - Savannah.—Joseph Mason, superin tendent for the Taggart Coal com pany, one of the best known men on the waterfront, met his death here in an unusual manner recently: He was standing on the pi£r when the government dredge Cumberland was leaving shore when a tdogger’’ bit through a ring, broke loos* and swung so as to strike Mason a terrific blow in the face, knocking him into the river.' When his body was taken from the river the face was found crushed by the metal. It is believed that he was practically dead before he struck the water. Athens—The 1921-22 session of the University of Georgia begins Wednes day, September 21, and, fc m all in dications, will be one of the -ost suc cessful terms in the hista of the university. Officials expressed the belief recently 'Uidl tits enrollment, would eclipse that of all previous years, one of the faculty going so far as to say that he believed the number of students in attendance at the uni versity during 1921-22 would be in excess of 1,500. It will be recalled that the enrollment during the past session was 1,292. Atlanta.—C. A. Fuller, of 204 Grove street, and O. W. Williams, of 75 Gas- kill street, were robbed at the point of a pistol by two unmasked negroes who held them up while they were riding in a wagon on Butler street near Edgewood avenue recently. The bandits secured $60 from Fuller and $4 from Williams, and made good their escape. A description of the ne groes was furnished police shortly after the robbery, and a search is being made. The men, who were rid ing in a wagod belonging to Fuller and used for peddling, state that while one of the negroes covered them with a pistol the other rifled their pockets. Milltown.—Judge E. M. Giddens, or dinary of Lanier countyl has fixed the tax rate for this year and made an nouncement concerning state and school tax for the year. There will be $5 state tax on thousand, $5 on the thousand for schools, and the county tax will be $10.50, making a total of $20.50 on the thousand. This is the first tax rate for Lanier county as this is the first year of history for this county. This tax rate is as low or lower than any one of the old counties from which it was created. Thomasville.—'As “pigs is pigs” so snakes is snakes. Some time ago the members of the Thomasville fire department acquired a full-sized rat tlesnake. And now Mrs. Snake has a full contingent of about twenty baby snakes following in her wake as she leisurely moves about her cage. The little snakes began exploration of their surroundings as soon as they came out of the eggs and continue to show much life. As long as the market for snakes is dull with little trading. Thomasville people are fearful that the snakes may get out and continue to thrive in their neighborhood. Montezuma.—Another blow at Ros- coe (“Fatty”) Arbuck'e motion pic tures being shown ; n Georgia was struck recently by Mrs. J. E. Hays, president of the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs, when she issued an open letter to all movie directors in the state requesting that the women and children be spared further ex ploitations of the stout comedian and Virginia Rappe. Mrs; Hay’s commun ication follows a similar open letter addressed by Mrs. John K. Ottley, also of Georgia, to the head of the board of review in Atlanta. The weather is still hot and dry. The fanners are busy in the coolest pait of the day gathering peas, cotton and making sorghum syrup. The cotton crop will all be open in September. The Brooks Ginnery speaks of clos ing down as there is not enough cot ton to gin to pay expenses. Mr. William Malone had the misfor tune to lose by fire recently a tenant ! house and outbuildings. There was | some insurance on the buildings. Mr. Burt Goodman and Miss Gus- jsie Duke surprised their friends by I getting married Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Amos Turner officiated. We ex pend congratulations to the contract- ling parties. Mr. G. W. Rivers’ young son ha<l the misfortune to break his right arm recently cranking an automobile. We are glad to state that he is doing well at present. Mrs. Eilie Drewry returned home Monday from the Griffin hospital, where she underwent a surgical opera tion. We hope that she will soon be restored to health. Revs. Brown and Strickland closed their series of meetings at Vaughns Friday night. There were seventeen I accessions to the church. The Fayette County Singing Conven-; tion will be held at Brooks Saturday and Sunday. Several noted singers are expected to be in attendance. Several from Brooks and vicinity are attending this term of court. Ye Scribe visited the court Monday and saw Primus, who was looking happy. He wanted us to see his friend, Jim. but we failed to do so. We are sorry. The last we saw of Primus, he had stopped a white "woman pn the street and in that graceful way he has of holding his hat and cane in his right hand, with that bland smile and gentle courtesy, he w r as trying to convince her that he knew her people in ante bellum days. Possibly he was more successful in that than he was fish- Savannah. — The new municipal board, created as the Savannah port commission, by recent act of the legis lature, the members of which were appointed by the governor has been organized with J. F. Cooper Myers, president; G. M. Gardsden, vice presi dent, and B. H. Abrahams, secretary. EVERYBODY WHO OWES A URGED TO JOIN PAY Card of Inanks.
