Times and People Have Changed Little
If Old Newspaper Clipping Is Believed
BY BARBARA WISE
A number of years ago some
one clipped an article from an
unknown paper and laid it away
in between the pages of a book.
Who that person was no one
knows, but we are indebted to
her for the information contained
in the article. We, also, would
like to thank Mrs. Henry Lee Gil
bert for loaning us the article. In
reading over it we find that the
subject matter is very similar to
what we find in our newspapers
of today.
There is no date on the clip
ping, but a story on one side is an
editorial about Carrie Nations and
the high jink she had pulled re
cently. It seems Carrie tried to
do what had been tried many
times before her time and even
more so since then. She tried to
break into the White House.
She also had the same idea that
many of us express, only she kept
insisting until she made a nu
isance of herself. The editorial
does not say what happened when
she insisted the United States
Senate allow her to run things
in the Capital for a while.
The unknown writer went on
to condemn Carrie as the most
confirmed “ad” hunter in Amer
ica of that day and said it was
doubtful whether she would have
cared about reforming the world
at all if she could not get the no
toriety out of it.
The whole thing sounded so
familiar, I wondered if gate
crashers, world reformers and
publicity seekers ever died or
were just transformed into a
more modern and louder version
of their old beings.
Cuba made the news on the
same edition as Carrie Nations.
Again it sounded familiar and
I began to ask if newspaper
writers merely dig up old news
stories and revise them when they
run out of copy.
The turn of the century writer
asked, “What is it the Cubans
want now?”
This question could have come
straight from a modern daily
of today for it seems so many of
the newspaper writers have been
asking the same question of late.
At the same time a far away
king, long forgotten by many, evi
dently needed $27,413,000 be
cause some sage commented that
King Alfonso had better come to

America and get a nice red-haired
girl with that sum of money.
Maybe that is the solution to
our drain of dollars due to the
foreign aid program. From looks
of those who clamor for foreign
aid no red blooded American gal,
with or without money, would
have them.
Another filler stated that the
pocketbook of Asia is of Russian
leather.
If history of late is correct,
this same statement could very
well hold true today. That is, if
the Russians have left the Asian
enough money to afford a pocket
book.
On the opposite side of the
article, wonders of wonders hap
pened. A newspaper editor-turn
ed-minister, Rev. J. Parry Lee of
Jackson, accepted a call to the
pastorate of Antioch Baptist
Church in South Atlanta. Rev.
Mr. Lee was 35 years old at the
time. He had entered the news
paper field at the age of 18 and
established the Pike County
Journal at Zebulon in 1887, sel
ling it in 1899. At that time he
bought The Jackson Argus which
he had conducted successfully
until two years before when he
entered the Moody Bible Institute
at Chicago to study for the min
istry.
The article went on to state
that on the first Sunday in each
month he would preach at Zebu
lon Church; second Sunday at
Macedonia; third Sunday at Mt.
Vernon and also at Pepperton
in the afternoon of the same Sun
day. The Rev. Mr. Lee was the
brother of R. E. Lee and Mrs.
T. W. Moore of South Atlanta.
Working at the newspaper of
fice makes me wonder just what
it was that caused this very tal
ented editor to cleanse his soul
of printer’s ink?
Wonder if the complaints and
troubles then were similar to
those of today at the newspaper
office?

BUTTS COUNTY
SOIL NEWS
BY JAMES E. PAYNE
Soil Conservation Service
This is the beginning of anew
year when most everyone is mak
ing plans for the things that they
will try to accomplish during the
year. Farmers, if they haven’t
already made their plans, are
planning for the crops they will
plant on different fields during
the year, which pastures they will
fertilize and improve, what soil
and water conservation practices
they will apply along with their
other farming needs during the
year.
Every year there seems to be
more and more problems and fac
tors that enter into the farming
picture. It seems that every year
it is just a little harder for the
average farmer cooperating with
the Towaliga Soil and Water Con
servation District to decide just
what plans to make for the year.
One thing most everyone realizes
is the fact that they do need to
conserve as much soil and water
as possible and produce as high
yields as possible from the land to
stay in the farming business.
There have been some changes
made in the national Agricultural
programs by the Food and Agri
culture Act of 1962. This Act has
a number of changes in the na
tional program on the conserva
tion of this Nations natural re
sources. Also made some changes
in the watersheds program as well
as assistance for establishing in
come-producing Recreation enter
prises. It would be well for farm
ers of this county to study the
provisions of this Act and take
advantage of any new opportuni
ties that it might offer.
One of the best tools a farmer
can have is a farm plan of how
he plans to use his land and what
he would like to accomplish over
a period of years. By following
and using this plan regularly,
making necessary needed changes
and adjustments each year until
the plan is carried out on the
farm. The Soil Conservation Dist
rict, with the technical assistance
of the Soil Conservation Service,
makes its services available in as
sisting farmers in developing soil
and water conservation farm
plans. These plans are developed
by and for the individual farmer
upon request.

ACP program is now underway
and will run through the month
of January. The county ASC
Committee urges all farmers to
file their requests for cost shares
during this period. In requesting
cost sharing assistance and in
making plans for soil and water
conseravtion practices, one should
consider a well planned program
and method of establishing these
practices. They should be planned
as to fit the farming operations
of the farmer and do the needed
conservation job at the same
time.
