A Thought i
, (
Happy is the man whom God
correcteth; therefore despise not
thou the chastening of the Almigh
ty.—Job. 5:17.
Truth is a good dug; but beware
of barking too close to the heels
of an error, lest you get your
brains kicked out. —Coleridge.
At 1 1:00 and 7:00*
Tomorrow (Sunday) every door
in every House of God in Americus
will be thrown wide for YOU.
Minister and laymen are endeav
oring during this month of Novem
ber to fill the churches of the cjty
—not for their gain, but yours.
For a few hours on the morrow
let’s forget business wories and
pleasure; let’s make an effort to
repay by our presence in church,
the efforts of the minister-to make
of this a greater and better home
city.
The church and the minister are
always in the varjguard, fighting
for that which is -best—not only
religiously, but from civic and
commercial standpoints.
At eleven and at seven, a smile
and a welcomeing hand awaits you
i*i every church in Americus.
Obey that impulse.
Christian Politics
There was a time when many of
our Representatives and Senators
expounded the theories of govern
ment from the top of a barrel or
the back end of a wagon, amid to
bacco juice and beer.
- How many of our real states
men today can you name who re
sort to such methods?

J, ear our representatives in state
find nation leading religious serv
ices.

Sn full tn* Towbwing editorial 'from
ihe Cordele Dispatch, entitled
'‘Christianity in Politics,” as fol
lows :
‘‘Congressman Charles R.
Crisp is a man who lives close to
the Christianity ideals of the
militant, moving purposes of
good men. We have heard him
talk about men and issues in po
' litics a long time—so long that
we had fallen into the habit of
thinking only of his services in
public office.
, ‘‘But Sunday morning when he
spoke for the men's class at Bap
tist Sunday school here he very
quickly made another impres
sion—a strong and lasting im
pression that he undertands
Christian service and Godly liv
ing. His mesasge to the men was
so full of the unspeakable riches
of the Bible—so abounding in
the essentials around which
should center the practical activi
ties of men for spiritual growth,
that a mere ordinary presenta
tion of these facts here cannot do
him full justice.
“As for Us, we deeply appre
ciate such a man in high office.
No vender he makes himself felt
in public life! Speaking from per
sonal experience, we should say
with courage and interest that
Georgia has some men in the na
tional halls of congress who base
- ♦heir acts on Christian principle.
This is one of them. How we
. should rejoice to know that all
of them did so well!
"Charles R. Crisp and those
men who serve along with him in
congress can do mankind no
greater service than to let their
public acts be guided by Chris
tian principle. It cannot ail

carrying great purposes into the
ha.ll of our national congress—
that program of public service
which is grounded in Christian
■character?
“We have known him a long
time—have had many instances
of public service which we could
commend in him, and here is the
secret of it all—the big reason
why Charles »R. Crisp is a big
man in congress!”
There are few—-if any—in this
entire congressional district who do
not love, revere and appreciate
both the man and the statesman—
Charles R. Crisp.
May the good God give the na
tion more men of his type.

OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
LONG WAY BACK TO WAR
PRICES.
Things are beginning to look
again like 1918. Cotton off the
streets, plenty of chickens,
plenty’of hogs, plenty of food
; crops, and paying old debts like
' everything. Folks will certainly
not act the fool like they did in
the old prosperous days at this
[ spurt of good times. It will take
i a long time and lots of money to
make the sl2 shirt and $6 hose
and sls shoes as popular as they
were in the days of War-time. —
Lavonia Tittles.
curse of tenant system
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
commented editorially on Sunday
about the large amount of wheat
rye, oats and wool that Talbot
raised sixty years ago, and asks
the question why Talbot and oth
er counties cannot do the same
thing now? To this inquiry per
mit us to make this answer: Tal
bot county can; we have simply
been curesd for over a half cen
tury by the tenant system; up
until the time of the boll wee
vil a negro and a mule brought
in good returns, but now it takes
brains and judgment to farm
and incidentaly some elbow '
grease thrown in for good meas
ure. A few years will no doubt
sec Talbot at the head of the
peach growing list and Talbot is
also a fine county in which to
set pecan groves.—The New Era.
HIDING BEHIND GOD
When “Emperor” Simmons
launched the notorious Ku Klux |
Klan he said that he did so be
cause God sent him a vision •
which forced him to organize the i
masked gang.
Now ; comes Klansmen Fox,
who, according to Simmons, as
sassinated Klansman Coburn;
and asserts that the Lord told
him to kill the Klan lawyer. l At
first Fox told another story, but
uow he hides behind God.
Perhaps we shall later learn
that the blasphemous fiery cross
is the result of an inspired mo
ment. However, we are not
likely to be told that the mes- <
sage came from the Son of God |
for acording to the tenets of the ■
Klan, all foreigners and Jews
are anathema; and Christ was not
only a foreigner but also a Jew.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
MORE WORKERS NEEDED
This country could get along .
famously with a third as many
salesmen and journalists and
(diiwyerk and stomach specialists;
put unless the young men who
are flooding through our col
’oges today show some inclina
tion soon to do more necessary
work of the world we shall be
forced to importing hankies
again to do it for us. Why
don’t our distraught pedagogues
instead of seeking with feeble ;
protest to stem the the enormous j
tide of American youth that |
hag set toward .college try guild- ;
ffijg their growing output of
graduates into more useful, the
more adventurous channel indi
cated. Buch a course, if success
ful, would add immensely to the
dignity of labor, it would miti
gate our labor shortage and it
would greatly increase the pro
portion of men in our population
to white-collar slaves. Let the
girls have the polite jobs; they
seem bound to det them anyway.

CONCRETE ROADS.
Concrete roads are going to
work a wonderful transforma
tion in this country within the
next few years.
Today our freight is being
handled by the railroads at an
exorbitant cost. We are at the
mercy of the roads, and there
fore we are forced to pay the
high rates they charge. It is a
big item in our heavy burden of
daily expense.
But some day, when the. high
ways of the country have been
generally concreted, great true!;
caravans will be passing over
them daily, moving our freight at
greatly reduced rates.
A freight train can c<ily go
where its tracks are laid. A mo
tor truck can go to any place
where the roads arc in suitable
condition
Today the farmer or town citi
zen must go to the railway sta
tion for his freight charge be
fore he receives his goods.
A few years hence the motor
truck will roll up to his door and
unload his freight at his feet.
It’s on the cards for the >iot
distant future. We hope you live
to enjoy its benefits.—Griffin

THE SAME OLD MOON
The moon looks down on you and me
And we look toward at the moon;
It is the same old moon we see
Beneath which lovers used to spoon,
With silly words anti tender kisses,
In days of Circe and Ulysses.
i ■ r f '
. &!X:
I he same bld moon is looking down.
But ajl those lovers, where are they?
Princess and Prince, milkmaid and clown, ,
“The word Has blown them all away”;
They lived and loved, knew woe and laughter,
Died—but more lovers followed after!
i x
The same moon looks down from above, N,
But it is up so high and far .
It sees the lovers making love,
Yet can’t distinguish who they are, s
And thinks that still, the ages through
The same, old lovers bill and coo. '
And if the moon, by chance, could hear,
It. still would hold the same opinion; -j..
For age by age and year by year,
In all lore’s magical dominion,
I he words and kisses are the same *
As when the first pair felt the flame.
lhe sam e old moon is in the sky,
The same thrill in each lover’s breast; \
Except, of course, that you and f
Are different from all The rest!—_
Was it my fancy made me think \

X SCHOOLS
New York City has 955,000 pu- ■
pils in its schools, and 377,000 of !
them are on part time or douole j
shifts because of the shortage of I
school buildings and seats.
It’s a rare city that doesn't have j
a similar situation.
One reason is that cities try to
build monumental school buildings
when wooden structures, such as
were used in army training camps,
would serve just as well tem
porarily, at least—until our civil
ization figured out how to get as
many seats in school houses as it
t provides for movie audiences with
i out difficulty.
