RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Germs Gleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations-
You cannot judge a man solely
by his acts. You must probe
deeper. You must determine the
spirit which actuates him and as
certain its origin.—Rabbi D. Hart,
Denver.
Evengelism needs this note to
make it powerful: A Christ con
quered personality is always and
everywhere a conquering evange
lism.—Rev. Dr. J-.nu E White,
Baptist, Atlanta, Ga.
In order to attain our best selves,
three things are v necessary—envi
ronment, protection from the past
and touch with a vitalizing moral
force.—Rev. J. 11. Boyd. Presby
terian, Evanston, I'd.
Planting his thoughts and words
like seeds, man must wait for his
harvest, and hope helps him. Dai
ly it is his staff and support. In
deed, without this joy 1 producing
faculty man could, not live.—Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills, Congrega
tionulist. Brooklyn
Whatever tHe condition of the
world now, the be inning was
good, and this good v as to be man’s
permanent possession. The first
scene ,is all bar pines.-, all beauty.
To remember it now is like a
dream. — Rev. D j Stafford, Ro
man Catholic. V lington.
To know what path in life to en
ter is the secret < success. It is
an awful tiling t lose one’s way
and be lost. It is more tragic to
have lost one’s wa in life and not
know it.—l)r. ( - B. Mitchell,
Methodist, Ck-v . k ; . O.
No man lives •; himself While
no man down v-athout dragging
some one with him, is also true
that no man climbs upon the rock
of salvation without using «an in
spiration and fhbp to other strag
glers in the sea o' tip —Rev. E.
B. Bagby, Disci aim ,V isbington.
The newspap : the sentinel
on the outposi the camp, always
watching never slumbering. And
it is our duty to watch that senti
nel and see that * does not sleep at
the post.—i< ■ . Dr. John Clarence
Lee. Universalis'- Philadelphia.
The siinph • genuine life

It is a lite in v. - »oli is master

It is what i- meant by ih•: spiritual

Perfect Confidence.
Where there used to be a feeling- of
uneasiness and worry in the household
when a child showed symptoms of
croup, there is now perfect confidence.
This is owing to the uniform success
of Chamberlin’s Cough Remedy in the
treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. I.
Basford, of Poolesville, Md., in speak
ing of her experience in the use of that
remedy says: “I have a world of con
fidence in Chamberlin’s Cough Rem
edy for I have used it with perfect suc
cess. My child Garland is subject to
severe attacks of croup and it always
gives him prompt relief.” For sale by

LETTER FROM B. H TANNER.
About Cotton Seed Oil Mill, Guano
Factory and Ginnery.
Editor Breeze—Please allow me
‘pace in your paper to say some
thing to the farmers of Coffee and
adjoining counties in regard to an
up-to-date Cotton Seed and Oil
Mill and Ginnery to be located at
Douglas. The time has come when
an enterprise of this kind is needed
in this county, and the ample rail
road facilities make Douglas the
proper location.
Of course, as is well known, I am
a farmer, my friends and neighbors
are farmers and my object in this
move is to try to get them to join
me in something that will be of
mutual advantage to all of us. And
while the farmer is greatly concern
ed, the merchant is also interested,
and their aid and support is requir
ed.
An up-to-date cotton seed mill
and ginnery with improved meth
ods of extracting the seed and pre
paring the staple for market gives
every pound of lint more than one
cent per pound in increased value
over the process now used. We
will also have a home market for
the seed, which is generally given
for the ginning. Now, of an aver
age staple it requires 2,300 lbs. of
seed cotton to produce 600 lbs. of
lint, leaving us, after the ginning
1,700 lbs. of seed, which are worth
at a low estimate to the oil mill
$13,60. Then allow $4,00 for the
ginning and we have still $9.60 as
a profit on the seed from a bale of
cotton of 600 lbs. to which you
may safely add one cent per pound
on account of improved ginning—
s6oo, and you realize a total of
$15,60. or about 67 cents per 100
lbs. more on 2,300 lbs of seed cot
ton than the farmer receives now,
saying nothing about the advan
tage of buying your guano. My
honest estimate on a Guano Fac
tory and Cotton Seed Oil Mill and
up-to-date ginnery is that it wifi
give, in savings all around, to the
average farmer, more than one cent
per pound for Sea Island cotton,
and in proportion for his Upland
cotton. The figures above prove
this, and any man with a lead pencil,
paper .and sober thought can satis
fy himself on the proposition.
Let the farmer, merchant and
railroad people come together on
this question, and let us have a
Cotton Seed Oil Mill and Guano
Factory that will be a credit to the
bea Island belt of South Georgia.
We have the land that is especially
adapted to the culture of Sea Island
and Upland cotton, and we should
have all out of cotton and seed that
we can get.
Let us build the Mill, Factory
and Ginnery. We need it in our
business and it is to our interests,
mutually and collectively. We do
not draw any lines—we want the
small farmer as well as the large
planter, of this county and sur
rounding section, to have some
thing to do with the enterprise,
and take stock.
I want all farmers anfi mer
chants who will do so, or anyone
interested on this subject, to
the public tne benefit of tlr
through the Breeze. I
ed on it, and estimate
require about $75,00.
these plants—all
Douglas, Broxton,
Nichols and all neighboring sec
tions and towns should join us in
ibis undertaking.
Dear reader, lam a farmer, mer
chant and run gins at Fales and
McDonald, and gin both Sea Is
land and upland cotton, but I
know that the old methods of gin
ing will not do. Our cotton is of
a fine quality and should he put up
in the most skillful manner that
the best prices may be obtained.
When this is done, we can sell cot
ton at home, torus much as we can
get in Savannah or any where else,
and I say so because I'know what
lam talking about. A man who
has cotton to sell and ships it to
the market now stands a poor
showing and must rely on the com
mission merchant to render such
sales as he pleases, while he is there
and you are here. This being true
is it not time for the farmers and
others of this section to take some
steps towards bettering their con
dition?
I have farmed all my life and ex
pect to be a farmer when I die,
but up to this writing I have never
sold a bale of my cotton.
Now, in order to prove my ar
gument on (his subject by my
works, 1 head the list of stockhold
ers for a Cotton Seed, Oil Mill and
Ginnery with a subscription of
$10,000.00, at any time, and if this
is not sufficient to put the move
ment rolling 1 will put in more.
Farmers, Merchants or others
interested are earnestly requested
to submit their views to the Breeze
for publication, the editor haying
assured me that he will give all a
hearing in reasonable bounds.

COL. JOSEPH J. ROGERS.
Some Kind Words From His Old Horn?
Paper Touching His Ability.
Col. Josheph J. Rogers having
been a citizen of Coffee county for
a year, perhaps, is becoming., well
known to our people as a quiet,
unassuming gentleman and a fine
practical lawyer. In order to let
others know what is thought of
him at his former home we copy
the following from the Pike Coun
ty Journal without his knowledge
or consent:
“No lawyers who practices at the
bar of Pike Superior court has
more native ability than Col. J. J.
Rogers, of Barnesville,
It >s a rule in this advanced age
where the avocations of life have
crystalized into distinct depart
ments that in order to achieve suc
cess one must devote his time to
only one department. Col. Rogers"
is one of the exceptions to his rule.
lie is the originator and princi
pal stockholder of Barnesville cot
ton factory ; owner of thirty nrles
of telephone line.
Above this, however, he is loom
ing tip as a lawyer and an orator.
He was one of the three able attor
neys who were employed by Zach
Trice to represent him in Jesuit now
pending against T. C. Trice for'
the recovery of certain lands. ‘Af
ter the killing of Zach Trice by the
defendant in the civil suit, two of
Zach’s la\vyers were employed by
the defendant, hut Col. Rogers ap
peared for the prosecution. It was
on the trial of this noted case at the
hist term of the court that he made
what has been pronounced by
miyiy as the most powerful argu
ment they ever listened to before a
Jury.
No matter on which side their
sympathies were centered the
speech of Col. Rogers was recog
nized as a grand effort by the
hundreds who heard.it.”
Heads The List With SIO.OOOI
We are publishing to-day a letfceF
from Mr. B. IT. Tanner on the
Cotton Seed Oil Mill and Ginnery
business. Mr. Tanner lias given
the matter much thought and some
investigation, therefore, writes
with convincing force. Ileshows
that with improved methods of
ginning the cotton ginned would
be worth one cent per pound more
than is realized, and that a cotton
seed oil mill would be ready con
sumer for the seed. The bette>
a very interesting one, an
