SOUTHERN RATURE
(Rev. \V. Faust)
i / t
For some time 1 ave been think
ing- how very littli we find the lit
erature taught in bur schools con
cerning the South. Its soldiers,
writers and workers. Among the lit
eratures of the South and of the
world, few if aiiy, rank ahead of
Henry Timrod. His ode at Magnolia
cemetery, Charleston, S. €., is a clas
sic with which every school boy and
girl should be familiar.
“Sleep sweetly in your humble
graves,
Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause,
Though yet no marble column cries,
The pilgrim here to pause.”
In seeds of laurel in the earth
The blossom of your fame is blown,
And somewhere waiting for its birth,
The shaft is in the stone.
Meanwhile behalf the tardy years
Which keep in trust your storied
tombs,
Beloved, your sisters bring their tear
And these memorial blooms.
„' > .
Small tributes, but your shades will
smile
More proudly on these wreaths today
Than when some cannon-moulded pil
Shall overlook this bay.
Stoop, angels, hither from the skks,
There is no holier spot of ground,
Than where defeated valor lies
By mourning beauty crowned.”
Our boys and girls need to know
literature and to study our histo
( y, and our literature written from
the standpoint of Southern manhood
and womanhood at its best.
If Mrs. Starnes’ “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin,” is worth while, then Thom
as Dixon's, “The Clansman,” is
worthy to be included in the world’s
best literature.
We do not pay enough attention to
our text books on literature. Our
school men are either asleep or very
indifferent.
Recently I searched through my li
brary for some purely Southernn wri
ers, Poe was there of course and a
few others. I was not satisfied. I
looked thru my encyclopdeia. The
_New International had as much to
say about old John Brown as it
had to say about Robert Toombs, or
Yancy, or Alexander Stephens.
Abernathy, one of the fairest in
a volume of 500 pages gives to all
Southern writers about 40 pages.
And our school men seem to be wil
r ling for such affairs to continue.
e Brandas Matthews has written a
IS ‘ -xt book on American literature. He
lss ives a whole page to Mrs. Stowe
'"'Sd dismisses Sidney Lanier and Hen
ion. Tim rod with just three lines, and
‘ tails to even mention Ryan or Hayne
and our children are growing up on
such stuff. We have Southern gen
iuses and Southern people ought to
arise and demand that this genius be
recognized by our text book writers
and our school men.
Few Southern people seem to know
that Dr. A. T. Robertson, of Louis
ville, has written the greatest Creek
Grammar in existence. Dr. E. Y.
Mullins, of the same city, has writ
ten a book on Theology that is a
text book in many of the greatset
schools In the country. Bishop Pierce
was recognized as one of the world’s
greatest preachers. Hawthorn was one
of our greatest orators along with
Oalleom and Grady.
Thos. E. Watson, in the field of
history, is a Master, possibly the
greatest living historian in America
today.
Mercer, Thornwell, Asbury, Hage,
* A. C. Dixon, Truett, Bradley, are
.household names in the entire union
among the best preachers^
When it comes to statesmen and
scholars, the South has ever been
in front from the days of Washing
ton to Wilson the South has led in
presidents.
Every world-famed president was
a Southerner, Lincoln, Jefferson and
Washington. A nation that produces
men of presidential calibre must of
necessity furnish leaders in the
realm pf literature. The South has.
Poe is referred to as one of loose
morals and a drunkard, but little is
said along this lin concerning Web
ster and others from the North. Just
a plea for Southern recognition at
the hands of our own Southern peo :
HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—ln an interesting lettei
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: ‘‘l suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak 1 could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

Safe Medicine for Children.
“Is it safe?’’ is the first question
to be considered when buying cough
medicine for children. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy has long been a favor
ite with mothers of young children,
as it contains no opium or other nar
cotic, and may be given to a child as
confidently as to an adult. It is pleas
an to take, too, which is of great
importance when a medicine must be
given to young children. This rem
edy is most effectual in relieving a
cough, colds, croup. Obtainable ev
erywhere. Advt.

NAZARETH
Dr. S. R. Belk preached to a large
and appreciative audience at Naza
reth Sunday afternoon.
The people in the neighborhood c
County Line have the mumps in al
most every family—a few escaped,
but it is the exception rather than
the rule.
All nature is a-riot with spring
The swamp poplars and maples are
smiling broadly with the season’s col
ors.
The people—ever hopeful—are toil
ing and waiting, against a living o.
more? If we do not get more we
blame the weather, poor fertilizers,
or any one of a dozen other poor
excuses for what was absolutely and
entirely our own fault. Poor prepare
tion and poor cultivation is more o
ten the cause of poor crops than
much to see Barrow county grow as
many bales as in 1915. We want tc.
see it however on two-thirds less
land. That would mean one-thlr>
more of land in Barrow planted in
something to eat and to feed on. We
would like to know this year our
people will house 25,000 more bush
els of corn than we did last year.
Personally we have great faitli ir.
Barrow county, her people, her re
sources, natural and artificial. We
as voters and citizens, don’t want
to put any handicap in the way c
any institution owned, run or control
ed by the county. If there is .
way to help, put your shoulder t
the wheel and yell, “forward.”
W. A. HAYES.
FARM LOANS AND INVESTMENTS
I negotiate loans on Barrow county
farm lands; interest is 6 per cent
to 7 per cent, and is payable annu
ally. No delay in getting the mon
ey if the titles to your lands are
good. Make your application any
time of the year and the interest and
principal both will not be due until
the fall of the year.
I can place money for individuals
or estates in amounts from $200.00
upwards in loans secured by first
lien on improved farm lands in Gwin
nett, Jackson, Barrow or Walton
counties and paying 7 per cent net
to the lender. All farms are inspect
ed by a good man who knows values,
and the titles to the lands are care
fully examined. In other Words, youi
money is placed right here at home
on farms. I col’ect interest for in
vestors free of charge. I am in Win
der every Friday. For further ih
formation, write S. G. Brown, Atty.,
Lawrenceville, Ga. 12mo.
