ably spent.—Ocllla Star.

Which Way Are We Headed?
Under th“ above caption, the Alpharetta Free Press
has a splendid editorial In its last week's issue, con
cerning the recent law passed by the legislature re
quiring the Bible to be read to the school pupils every
day.
The Winder News heartily endorses every word
of this editorial. Among other things, the Free Press
says :
“We are ‘going some’ when we undertake to read
religion from the mouth of a school teacher into the
hearts of our children. Fifty years ago we would
have rebelled at such a law. Now we are drifting
so far away from early conceptions of free govern
ment that we soon may require all teachers to take
an oath that they are Christians before we grant
them license to teach in this state. Moreover, we
may require them to state that they believe in im
mersion for baptism, or that the doctrine of falling
from grace is clearly taught in the Book. We may
go fuuher and make it a crime to wash feet in public
as an ordinance of the church.”
“Fellow citizens, we are surely drifting towards the
rocks! We have allowed infields and blacklegs
and a few religionists to abuse certain denominations
that we don’t like, until we have prepared our minds
to persecute every fellow who disagrees with us.
Religious bigotry Is the most hateful thing in hell or
out of it. We have observed for years that those
s If-righteous ones who are forever criticising other
people’s religion scarcely ever have any of their own.
“Now, seriously, fellow citizens, let us get back to
the constitution of our country—to the bedrock upon
which this government was founded. Let us not try
to coerce any one in purely religious matters. If the
Infidel does not believe, let us persuade him, but for
heaven's sake don’t tax him and use his money in an
effort to force him. If you do, you will wake up one
of these days to find yourself living in a country, not
of freedom, but of political and religious bigotry and
intolerance."
The Winder News can add nothing to these strong
words. Our forefathers, who settled this country,
were actuated largely by the desire for religious free
dom, when they braved the perils of an unknown
ocean and faced the dangers of the wilderness in
settling this continent.
The reading of the Bible in the public schools means
one step towards a state religion. The next step will
be easier. Whose Bible shall be read? The Protes
tant Bible of the Catholic version?
We have never seen any good come in trying to
force people to be religious. The Christian religion
is one of persuasion and appeal. “Whosoever will,
let him come." Civil and religious freedom are the
bedrocks upon which this government was founded,
and it will be a bad day when we begin to depart
from that position.
NOW READY FOR GINNING
After going through our gin
outfit by rebuilding and placing
new connections we feel sure we
can recommend our machinery
to be in the very best of mechani
cal condition, so we ask you to
bring us some cotton and give us
a trial.

listen, if any of you have any good
books and magazines, it matters not

remembered.
Next, we have procured the use of a
lot for garden spot near the building
and we intend to teach all pupils how
to prepare, plant and cultivate all
kinds of vegetables, as well as flowers.
If we should be so lucky as to raise
anything, our intentions are to sell
same and use the money to purchase
useful books and playground equip
ment. Look here! you fertilizer deal
ers, now is a good time to show your
generosity. We must have some fertil
izer, it matters not if it isn’t but fifty
pounds from each dealer. Now, if you
ire interested, and I know you are, for
you believe in advertising, kindly noti
fy the principal of the school, for we
must have it at once for our fall gar
dens.
Let us all pull together now, and
work to make the best school in this
part of the state. We can do it.
