A FINE SWEET POTATO. Mrs. R. E. Melvin presented the Win der News last week an unusually fine sweet potato for this time of the year. It weighed 7V* pounds and was highly enjoyed. Mrs. Melvin has our thanks for her kind thoughtfulness. - 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.
