Goody’s District, “peooj RflnDcer
“Raise all home supplies, then we can sit steady
in the boat and wait ’till all panics blow over.”
We are now having plenty of
rain and cold weather, but we
are standing it pretty well.
With not much money, but
plenty of collards, potatoes and
wood, you may talk about all the
allurements of city life, but the
man out among the sticks with
plenty of wood and plenty to eat
is the happiest man on earth.
And when all the farmers learn
to raise all their supplies on their
farms —and they are rapidly
learning it —then we can just sit
steady in the boat and wait until
all panics blow over.
With all of our currency in the
hands of private corporations to
expand and contract, to loan and
lock up whenever it suits them,
what can the farmer do but pro
tect himself by raising all of his
supplies? And one of the mys
teries of the 19th century is, why
has the United States govern
ment turned all of its volume of
currency over into the hands of
the national banks to loan and
lock up as they see proper. They
can force a panic on the country
any day in the year they see
proper, and I defy any states
man in the state of Georgia to
dispute it. This is a broad as
sertion but I make the challenge.
One of the finest things we
have read in many a day was the
editorial in week before last’s
Progress. It text was “Don't
Kick the Man who is Down.”
Some noted author has said:
“Often beneath a coat that is
worn and threadbare, there is a

heart that throbs with noble im

there is so much coldness in our
churches? If you don’t, hold
your breath and I will tell you.
Now don’t understand me as say
ing that all rich men are scound
rels, for they are not. There
are lots of them who stand above
anything that is mean, for I have
had dealings with them and I
know they have been my rock
and my refuge, and I have also
had dealings with some of them
that what they done to me
wouldn’t do to talk in a Sunday
School. There are some who for
the sake of making a few hun
dred dollars will send a family of
orphan children homeless and
adrift in the world, and at the
same time had they allowed them
time they could have retained
their home and he would not
have suffered any loss. I say
there are men who will practice
these things and then go home,
eat a hearty supper, take a sound
night's sleep on Saturday night,
and on Sunday morning go down
to church, take charge of his
Sunday School class, take up a
collection to convert the heathen,
and when the church services
are over the church is as cold as
a frog and is as barren as the
desert of Sahara, all because
there are too many men trying
to run the church whom the
world knows to be nothing more
than walking encyclopedias of
hypocrisy, trickery and scul
dugery. Plow Handles.

AMERICAN COTTON PULLS.
The cotton mills of America
have been up against it during
the present financial stringency.
But very few of them ever at
tempt to furnish the money with
which to buy their supply of cot
ton, depending on borrowing
from eastern syndicates the
amount needed, but this season
they have been unable to do so,
hence they have been running on
a “hand to mouth” policy.
There are but few American
mills that have cotton enough to
run them thirty days, hence they
have their year’s supply of cot
ton yet to buy. Do not get un
easy, Mr. Farmer.
The outlook for the Ameri
can mills in the future is better
than it has been for the past few
months, owing to the fact that
some large monied interests are
now offering to loan the South
ern and Eastern mills money with
which to buy cotton for their
year’s supply. Set steady in the
boat, Mr. Farmer.
This is the time for the Amer
ican mills to show their patriot
ism and make such necessary
sacrifice as will enable them to
secure the funds with which to
buy the farmer’s cotton, and
hence relieve the financial situa
tion in the South. The farmer
