FRAGMENTS OF
CONGREGATIONAL HISTORY
By A. Constantine Adamz, B. D.
Minister at Fredonia Church
Since coming to Barnesville to live
I have been asked more than once,
‘‘what Congregationalists believe.” I
am therefore taking advantage of
the space afforded me in our paper
by our revered editor, Mr. B. H.
Hardy, to give the public a clearer
conception of tile views that we as a
church hold.
j FAITH
We believe in God the Father, in
j finite in wisdom, goodness and love;
' and in Jesus Christ, his son, our
| Lord and Saviour, who for us and
our salvation lived and died and rose
again and liveth evermofe; and in
the Holy Spirit, who taketh of the
things of Christ and revealeth them
to us, renewing, comforting and in
spiring the souls of men. We are
united in striving to know the will
of God as taught in the Holy Scrip
tures, and in our purpose to walk in
the ways of the Lord, made known
or TO BK MADE KNOWN to us.
We hold it to he the mission of the
Church of Christ to proclaim the
Gospel to all mankind, exalting the
worship of the one true God, and
laboring for the porgress of knowl
edge, the promotion of Justice, the
reign of peace, and the realization of
human brotherhood. Depending, as
di<i our fathers, upon the continued
guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead
us into all truth, we work and pray
for the transformation of the world
into the kingdom of God; and we
look with faith for the triumph of
righteousness and the life everlast
ing.
POLITY
We believe in the freedom and the
responsibility of the individual soul,
and the RIGHT OP PRIVATE
JUDGMENT. We hold to the au
tonomy of the local church and its
independence of ALL ecclesiastical
control. We cherish the fellowship
of the churches, united in district,
state and national bodies, for coun
sel and cooperation in matters of
common concern.
THE WIDER FELLOWSHIP
While affirming the liberty of our
churches and the validity of our min
istry, we hold to the unity and
catholicity of the Church of Christ,
* *
and \ill unite with all it* branches
in hearty cooperation; alld will earn
estly seek, so far as in us lies, that
the prayer of our Lord for his dis
ciples may be answered, that they all
may be one.
Our church government is practi
cally the same as that of the Bap
tists, Unitarians and Christians. We
are more demoaratie than any other
denomination, so far as the writer
is conversant with them, in that we
ask none of our candidates to sign
the dotted line, subscribe to a creed
that has become musty with age, or
in any way seek to control the grow
ing conceptions of men whom God
wills should be free.

LOOK OUT FOR WEEVILS
Atlanta, Ga., February 23.—A bot
tom cron of cotton in 1925 is all that
is assured under present boll weevil
conditions, according to the judg
ment of experts here and in other
ections of the south. But control
measures intelligently .applied will
make a normal yield, it was pointed
out.
The foregoing information is be
ing conveyed to the farmers by the
agricultural development workers of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railway and by other agencies
in this territory.
! ‘‘We are urging the farmers along
our lines, which penetrates the rich
(: t agricultural section of Georgia,
to plant only what cotton they can
properly fertilize and care for, and
to keep a constant lookout for the
weevil and put up a diligent fight
when it does appear,” said J. L. Ed
wards. one of the head officials of the
A. B. & A. system.
The greatest immediate danger to
the agriculture of the cotton belt, as
pointed out by Mr. Edwards and oth
ers interested in the state’s agricul
tural development, lies in the wide
spread belief among producers that
weevil control measures are not nec
essary.
‘‘Thirty-two years of boll w'eevil
history not only does not justify this
attitude, but makes it certain that
it will bring disaster sooner or later,
probably to many sections this year,” ;
says an official statement made pub- j
lie here.
Last year’s weather conditions, it
is shown, were happily unfavorable
to weevil development and favorable
to.cotton growing. It is stated that
it is about the third such experience
in thirty years and to assume that it
will he repeated this year is to make
“a very dangerous gamble.”
Official rports received here state
that it remains to oe seen at the
close of the winter, that is, about
the last of this month or the first of
March, how many weevils will finally
emerge for the spring atttack upon
the cotton crop, but, it is asserted,
thtre is not the slightest reason in
the experience of thirty years nor
in the minutest observations and
records of the scientists to believe
that the weevil has been eradicated
or # been reduced below the point of
danger.
W eevils are said to multiply very
rapidly. They lay from three to
eight eggs each day and average a
total of about a hundred before they
die. The total time from placing of
an egg in the cotton square to the
appearance of the weevil is about
nineteen days. The average length
of life of the weevils in the summer
time is 02 days.
W. R. Tucker, agricultural de
velopment agent of the A. B. & A.
railway, said that officials of his sys
tem were aiding government agents
in their proposed project to use air
planes to control weevils by a dust
ing process on several thousand
acres in Georgia.

Figure it out for yourself.
If three tons of 12-4-4 contains the same
amount of plant food as four tons of 9-3-3
and costs less, why handle the extra ton?
Simple enough isn’t it?
The plant food in 12-4-4 costs less per unit
than in 9-3-3.

Mr. R. E. L. Hawkins of Barnes
ville will have charge of this matter
for Lamar county and he states that
it will be necessary for acreage con
tracts to be arranged arid order for
slips given him that he may know
what demand he wiii have to supply.
The company will guarantee to buy
as much as twenty-five cars of sweet
potatoes and pay the market price
next fall. This provides a fine op
portunity for farmers to hedge
against a failure of the cotton crop,
should the boll weevil be very bad
this year. Many farmers say they
can make from SSO to SIOO per acre
growing sweet potatoes. Those who
are interested should see Mr. Haw
kins at once and let him know how
many slips he must have to supply
the local demand.
