Nowhere in history is there a j picture of greater progress, more happiness, success and ma terial wealth than that of Amer ica. When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, their first act was to bend the knee to the All Wise j who had guided them to these I shores. From that day to this, I America has never known the conquering heel of an enemy. A little handful of poor but valiant farmers and tradesmen, under the leadership ot Wash ington, compelled the great English armies to retire across the ocean in defeat. We fought and suffered thru four years of internal strife dur ing the War Between the States, and though one of the richest prizes on the globe, no nation dared to attack America even thoijgh weakened and near ex haustion. She has established a place in the sun for herself in the i ealms of literature, art and music. Her inventive geniuses have blessed the world with their discoveries. No nation has ever accumulated the wealth that blesses her peo ple. When other nations were plotting and planning and grab bing the lands of others, Amer ica has give to the weaker from h< r stores of wealth and has de cked to enrich hersell at the ex pense of the less fortunate. For ail of these blessings there must be a reason—there is a reason. Placing her welfare in the hands of a Greater Power, America has been— Led by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night, in a pillar of lire, to give them light; to go by day and night. That pillow has been her churches, large and magnificent; ’.mail and humble; Protestant, Jewish, and Catholic; every man a church of his choice, but a church. Seeking religious freedom, America was settled by those who believed in churches and who, on landing on her hospita ble shores, budded churches of their choice. In defining the church and what it means to Americans, some one has written: I am the best friend of man kind. To the man who prizes sanity, peacefulness, pure-mind edness, social standing and lon gevity, I an> a necessity. lam hung about with sweet memories —memories of bays and girls, memories of makers, memories of the aged 'as they grope their way dow/fr the shad ows. ' . I am decked yLCn loving tears, cr<‘jjrt^<«*' 'foxing hands End "the minds of the greatest UP*’ on earth 1 find a constant place. I live in the lives of the young and in the dreams of the old. I safeguard tym with a friend ly hand; to the man in the fine lin en and the man in homespun. I love gifts that gold cannot buy, nor kings take away. They are given freely to all that ask. 1 bring back the freshness of life, the eagerness, the spirit of youth, which feels that it has something to live for ahead; I meet you with outstretched arms and song’s of gladness. Some time—some day—some hour —in the mar or far future, you will yearn for the touch of my friendly hand. I am your Comforter and best friend. I am calling you! 1 am the church. Wipe out the churches and America would rot and decay. The building of centuries would go for naught. Ihe church has made America what it is. Don’t usurp her functions, but from inside her walls aid in the build ing of a greater church and a greater America. The church - the church of your choice is calling you. •Y* Bill Eiffem’s G rentest Joy— rkhe greatest joy that fen (WVk Sutlive, managing KKEditor of the Savannah Press) is : /to cat< h a fellow editor in an I ~ A THOUGHT' I know that the Lord will main | tain the cause of the afflicted, and j the right of the poor.

In his column recently Bill reprints two paragraphs from the Butler 1 lerald, of which Charley Benns is editor. The first paragraph reads* One thing certain about Geor gia, she is the garden spot of the country, with Taylor county almost in the geographical center j of it. Closely following the above is another paragraph from the Herald which reads: We love our town and h"er peo ple but are not blind to our faults. One of these is that we talk too much. Bill Biffen charitably remarks that “one of these must have been written while Editor Benns was shylarking in Atlan- ! ta. *:’* A Notable Investment- After going into and thor oughly investigating the possi bilities of one of our sister States, the prospector returns | and pays cash for 2, 100 acres ; of land near Cordele, the Cor dele Dispatch says in an edi torial, observing that— We may credit Florida with having made it possible. This man was moved by the Florida advertising. It resulted in an im provement in the ownership of a large acreage of lands in this splendid section of Georgia. It means ultimate high-class farm development here that bight nev er have been accomplished in this generation. And yet the new purchaser has chosen well. We believe he has invested wisely. The Dispatch adds that many I eyes are on this section of the State, new comers stopping long enough to investigate, be- I ing attracted not so much by out- ! side advertising as what they SEE being accomplished—real- ’ izing the possibilities heretofore unknown. An industrious white family on every hundred or so acres of Sumter or Terrell or Crisp lands will beat all the industrial plants investing a similar sum of mon ey. , Farmers from every section of the country are headed this way. Shall we allow them to pass unnoticed or shall we sto_j> them—tell them—show Hrem — convince them—that .here lies ‘ *. Y* Whither Are We Drifting?— The Chapel Hill (N. C.) Weekly states that a young wo man who applied for a position as 'school teacheir in a North Carolina county was compelled to sign a contract containing these items: “I further agree that I will take a vital interest in church and Sunday school work and other community activities. I will not attend sorry moving pic ture shows. . . I will not fall in love ... I will do nothing to cause rgiht-thinking people to speak disparagingly of me or my work.” This contract is one of the biggest ever signed by a mortal being, observes the Charleston News and Courier in the fol lowing timely and pertinent com ment: Contracting not to fail in love is a large order in itself. Agree ing to stay away from the movies is humanly possible, not to say easy. But consider what it means to bind one’s self to ‘take a vital’ interest’ in all community activi ties. Would the school teacher so' contracting be relieved of her job if she refused to contribute to the Newsboys Christian Dinner, the Jumbo Club Picnic and the Minstrel show of the Rhode Island Red Ken Society? She might be. How the school teacher can control the thinking of others and prove that it is right think ing or the reverse is a question that is unanswerable. Probably the contract was drafted by Blease of South Caro lina, or Upshaw of Georgia, or maybe they collaborated in its construction. If the present trend is follow | cd, thinks the Columbus Enquir ( er-Sun, it will not be long before I some wild-eyed fanatic proposes an amendment to the Federal Constitution repealing that clause which guarantees religious i liberty. _ _ MUDD CENTER FOLKS ■( U SEE.

I : I fewelf How much should one know, I about what is going on about him, to be qualified to vote? Well, here is how much one voter knew: Joe Rodriguez of Martinez/ Cal., left his cabin one evening and went] down to the neighboring city of | Oakland, only a few miles away, to “bum around a while and have a good time.’’ He registered at a hotel in the | middle of town, where he was well | known, visited his brother-in-law and other friends, went to the moviesj and “bummed around” gen erally. The very night he left a man was murdered in the factory adjacent to Joe’s cabin, and the body was iden tified as Joe. Every edition-of every paper sold in Oakland was full of the murder in the factory adjacent to Joe’s cabin, and the body was identified as Joe. Every edition of every paper sold in Oakland was full of the murder, with headlines all across the page. Everybody in Oakland who ever read anything, or who knew anybody who did, was talking about it. Joe was far more famous than any candidate for office he will ever have to vote for. Also, bis own reported murder would na turally be more interesting to him than any political issue will ever be. But Joe and his friends were prob ably the only people in Oakland who did not know Os his sudden fame. They did not notice the news paper headlines themselves, though they were being shouted on the streets all around them, nor talk to anyone who did. A After he had “hoaimed” enough, Joe walked back, ts his cabin, as tonished at the .dtt|»iou he attract- ' YFK AMERICUS TTME3-RECUWDCR THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder, Aug. 15, 1895.) Since deciding to enter the rifle contest at Albany on the 21st inst. ! the team from the Americus Light infantry lias gone to work to v, in in one of the cash prizes offered. The team of five consists of C apt. 0. E. Van Riper, Sergeants, Calla way and Britton, and Privates Haynes and Turpin. Judge Scarborough went to the i breakfast table yesterday with bright visions of fried chicken danc ing before him, only to be told that his henroost had been looted the night before and everything that ‘ wore feathers carried away. Since the bloomer craze has reach ed Americus and is about-to be af fected by many of the fair cyclists of this city, the young men might adopt the tactics of the Binning-! ha mlioys, wlto are talking of fore- • Hailing the bloomer girt by organiz- . ing a kiiiekei'bocker club. Half a dozen have already ordered knicker iLockers with black stockings and ( i silver buckled oxfords. The third bale of the new crop of cotton received here was brought; in yesterday from the plantation of Capt. C. W. Felder in the 15th dis trict. This bale goes to the Alli ance warehouse, where the excel lent price of ten cents was naul Ur, 1 it. led. And this man, who did not : know enough to know that he was himself the chief public character of the moment, is a voter, to choose other public characters, to rule over him—and us! i Public Regulation Can Regulate How far wo are from the “trust busting” era! President Coolidge is j urging the railroads to consolidate, and only hoping that they will do it voluntarily, so that he will not have to resort to law to compel them. And yet the time when such mergers were wicked and crimin:'.] is so near that the man who made a reputation as Roosevelt’s most ef ficient buster is still active enough to be secretary of state. It is the final triumph and ac ceptance of the principle of public regulation. Monopoly could plways be more efficient and economical than competitive individualism— if it would. But, left to itself, it never would. So, while we finally regulated the railroad by law, w? were just distrustful enough of our own regulations to insist on the old automatic regulation of competi tion, too. Now we know better. We know that public regulation can 1 regulate, and we trust it to do so. We therefore insist on the econo- I mies of relative monopoly, well knowing that we can assure our- j selves of the benefits of the savings. II Join the lines, strong and weak, - profitable and losing, useful and i misplaced, in a few systems only ? in service and inside the system not > misplaced, in a few systems compet ing with other systems only , at all, and we have a situation in - which transportation costs the rail- - roads what it must, Then we --—— - - How long has it been since you’ve written a line, that you mew sjivEs the old folks some cheer? How long since you’ve ■old th em you’re gettin’ on fine. Just a week, or a month—or a ■ year ? It’s always too easy to merely forget to write to your moth er and dad. The day’s gonna come when you’re sure to re ijret, that your system of writing was bad. You always fee! sure that they have you in mind and are waitin’ to hear from their kin. How little it takes, after all, to I be kind, for they’re pleased when the letters roll in. You plan, day by day, that you’ll start out anew, and you’ll write, sc’s io head off their sorrow.! Then something turns cp that you’d much rather do and you put off the task till to morrow. , Your mother and dad get to fretin’ ’bout you when you’ve left them and started to roam. It seems thaf the least that a person can do is to keep up the writing back home. Rare Record of World War in Hoover Home STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., August 6—The Hoover War Li brary, endowed by Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover at Stanford University, has received 44,500 books and pamphlets, in nearly all languages. Every one bears in some way on the World War. The largest number, 12,000, are printed in Russian; 10,000 are in French. 9,000 in English. The rest are divided among Hungarian, Ital ian and other languages. The library was founded in 1919. Many of the items, printed or out of print, are irreplaceable. It offers students facilities duplicated no where and paralleled only at Musee de la Guerre at Paris. The program of institution calls for procuring all imjiortar.t official will see to it that it costs us no more. Worker Is Chief Loser By Excessive Taxes Finding any way to subsidize the I poor except at their own expense is ,a . hard search. The British coal mine workers demand, and are prob ably entitled to, a wage which the mines themselves can not pay cut of the present prices of coal. It is proposed to subsidize the in i du: t ry, at other people’s expense, to keep it going. So th? chancellor lot the exchequer considers rah iii? 'the monej to pay the workimei’s wage.; by taxing the workmen's beer. j* 01 course, any individual worker' can avoid the tax by not drinking beer. But no one who knows the British workers expects them to do that. It simply means that all the workers, by extra prices on beer, shall pay for the extra beer of part 'of the workers.- Few cases are as clear as this, but most of the taxes to “cinch the rich” work out about the same. The worker is the chief loser by excessive or demagogic taxes. LEG.’ I. AD NO. 879 DISSOLUTION NOTICE. The firm of T. G. Pelham & Co., heretofore existing between T. G. Pelham & R. C.
