We regret very much ta.
note that our county ha<l no
exhibit at the Georgia State i
Fair.
It should l»y all means have
Wen represented. There i>
no county in the state that is
totter than Pulaski. We can
raise anything any other coun
ty <“ m and just as much of it
too.
Our south Georgia lands
that were considered almost
worthless a fer/ years ago are
being placed in the front rank
of the best producing lands in
the state. Thomas and Irwin
counties captured the first
prizes for the host yield of
cotton and corn.
.tust think of it—we have
never made any hig claims as
to com, hut we are outrank
ing our north Georgia neigh
bors now.

! he placed on exhibition at the
fail—the fir*-t prize of SS(J.UO
j was awarded to the same pro
gressive farmer, who won the
prize f<»r the largest yield of
I corn ( K. M. Carter, of Merri
■ ville, Thomas county.) He
i raised 1185 pounds lint cot
ton on one acre. Cobh coun
ty won second prize on cotton
yield having produced 112<J
pounds. A year or more ago
Julian Klamlers, the enterpri
-ing editior of the (Villa Star,
began agitating the organiza
tion of corn clubs for Irwin
county. The excellent show
ing made at the stale fail
shows what can he done by a
little pu-h and enterprise, anti
demonstrates our south Geoi
gia counties can he brought
up to the very highest state ol
cultivation.
By the way, our friend
Flanders is running one o
the brightest weeklies in
Georgia. 11 is heart and
soul seems to he in
the upbuilding of (Villa and
Irwin county. He is making
a, financial success out of hi? I
paper and is doing line work
for his town and county. All*.
Flanders is the son of the late
I lev. J. \V. Flanders, who
was for two years our beloved
Methodist pastor, a man large
in body, mind, and soul; who
left an impress on our com
munity and a place in our
heart.- that will not soon he
forgotten.
What about a corn club for
Pulaski? If Irwin and Thom
as counties can produce 195
and If I bushels of corn per
acre, Pulaski can do it. All
we need is organized effort.
We have the land and the
fa rmer.
How about it, brother Har
vard? 1 know* your valuable
paper will co-operate. The
columns of the Cochran Jour
nal is open any suggestions
jon this subject. Let us hear
from some of our wide awake
farmers. Speak out, Pulaski
county farmer. You can do
anything any other farmer
can and, I believe, go them
one better. Who will be the
first one to suggest plans for
the organization of a corn
club for Pulaski and an exhib
it at the next state fair.

Death of Senator Clcy
Hon. Alexander S. Clay,
junior senator from Georgia,
died at Robertson sanitarium,
Atlanta, Ga. at 3 o’clock Sun
day afternoon. Mr. Clay had
served Georgia and the nation
.or fourteen years in the high
est tribun il of the land, and
the general consensus of opin
ion is that lie did his duty and
did it well. Conscientious,
.Klin-taking, and an in lef.di. -
ihle wort er, lit performed a
ers ii-e for iii- country during
;is long public life that will
be recognized as a service con
secrated to duty and the wel
fare of his people.
White Senator Clay was a
man of ability and strong per
sonality, he was not consider
a brilliant man; hut above all
an honest man, who stayed at
Ids post of duly and i crf-cm
ed the services required of
him long after his friends and
physicians advised h:m to
seek the much needed re
tied might have conserved hi.
strength and restored him to
health.
in consecration to duty ami
honesty of purpose In* leave:
a legacy to his people far su
perior to the meteoric splen
dor of some brilliant genius
whose flashing intellect for a
time illuniniitinted the politi
cal horizon; but, like the sky
rocket, is consumed by its
own flashing, unstable, and
erratic brilliancy.
How Can We Have
Temperance Here?
The following talk was given by
Mrs. I). E. Duggan at the Baptist
Sunday School last Sunday:
Temperance, or self control, is
the climax in Paul’s list of those
graces which are the ‘‘fruit of the
Spirit.” Self control does not
mean self-indulgence as far as there
is safety; it means self-mastery.
Self-mastery, with a thinking man,
will involve liis relations to others as
well as the possible dangers to him
-elf.
Neither the church nor the coun
try can legislate for the safety of a
drunkard, hut they Ixith need to
study how they can destroy the
places and peri Is which stand in the
way of the young and weak. Some
are wise and some foolish, and, as
iheir brother’s keeper, it is the du
ty <ff the stronger to guard the
weaker.
Warnings, examples*, and rescue
work are go- d anti well hut preven
tative measures are most effective, j
Temperance means 3 things:
Ist. The moderate use of what
is helpful.
2nd. Total abstinence from what
is harmful.
3rd. Helping others to abstain
from what is harmful.
If we who are Christians would
adhere to the third meaning and
use preventative work, we would
have temperance here. The watch
ul Christian may help the temper
tnec cause by helping others to ab
stain from what is harmful, especi
ally the use of intoxicating liquors.
This is the broadest phase of the
temperance question: it is the liigli
•st expression »f Christian temper-,
,nee. It locs not .-top to ask
“How can 1 help myself? be
“llov.* can 1 help others?” No.
imply “What can I do to l>e a bet
el-man?” but “What can 1 do ti
nake others better?” This may la
done in two ways:
Ist. Moral suasion is exerted by
the parent in the home, by Sunday
School teacher in class, by the
preacher in V pulpit, by the Chris
tian everywhere both by precept
and by example.
2nd. Legal suasion keeping temp
tations out of the way of the
boy. Moral suasion is temper
ance by retail; legal suasion is tem
perance by wholesale. Moral sua
sion deals with one or a few; legal
suasion deals with many.
Votes count.
Prayers are powder. Ballots are
bullets. Both are needed for the
greatest effectiveness in Christian
warfare. We who live in Georgia
and Cochran are fortunate that the
ballot has already been counted in
our favor and we have on our side
battling for the cause of prohibition
the strong arm of the law. The law
will be effective or ineffective to the
extent that we as Christian people
uphold it. It is our duty not only
to obey the law ourselves but to
have the law obeyed t by others,
hence it becomes our "efuty in the
cause of prohibition to look cli scly
for any violation of the prohibition
law and report suspicious cases to
the authorities. Our town council,
being composed largely of Christian
gentlemen, should keep a watchful
eye on all suspicious cases and if
necessary should employ detectives
to secure evidence. This we should
do not to uphold the law as citizens
but to help those who are weak and
need help, which is a Christian’s
duty. Let the watchful Christian
tie sure that right men are elected
to office that ids ballot shall count
on the side of right and righteous
ness.
