COTTON SHIPMENT
OF 3,500 BALES
THIS IS THE NUMBER OF BALES
NOW BEING SENT TO EU
ROPE FROM ATLANTA
STATE NEwToF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From All Sections Os
The State
Atlanta. —Approximately 3,500 bales
of cotton left Atlanta at Fort McPher
son on a special train of forty cars i
for Savannah, where it will leave on
the steamship Alfred Nobel for a con
tinental port in Europe. This is said
to be the largest single shipment of j
cotton from Atlanta for export to a
continental port since the beginning I
of the world war.
The cotton was sold by J. J. Wil- j
liamson & Co., of Atlanta, one of the
larger cotton merchants of the south,
and Mr. Williamson stated that the
transaction is a conclusive proof that
hard times are passing, that war-torn
Europe is recuperating, and that the
south has a marketing field which
bids fair to cause business depression
to vanish and bring pre-war prosper
ity to the southland.
A delay of two weeks in getting the
cotton to its destination was presented
by the work of Frank E. Ellis, divi
sion freight agent for the Central of
Georgia railroad, who, on short notice
got together the special train of 40
cars to take the shipment to Savan
nah in time to make the boat which
leaves Saturday.
Mr. Ellis states that the sum the
Central of Georgia receives for trans
porting the cotton to Savannah
amounts to more than $16,000. and fur
ther stated that the shipment is the
largest single shipment of cotton for
export the Central of Georgia has car
ried to Savannah from Atlanta since
1914. The ocean freight charges on
the cotton cargo will amount to ap
proximately $7,000, according to Mr.
Williamson.
In getting the cargo ready for ship
ment on short notice, the Shippers’
Compress company played an impor
tant part. Notice was given it and
the cotton was compressed and loaded
in two days. The company was forc
ed to work two days and nights in or
der to get it ready in time.
Arrangements for the shippers of
the cargo were made by J. T. Heirs,
traffic manager of the J. J. Williamson
& Co.
Mr. Williamson stated that the cot
ton sold for a very good price, and
that the announcement of such a large
sale should cause people in this section
and throughout the nation to look to
the future with greater assurance.
Revocation Os Rate Cut Asked
Atlanta. —A petition that the order
of February 16, requiring reduced
rates on cotton, grain, grain products
and hay be annullel, has been filed
with the state railroad commission by
fourteen Georgia railroads. The com
mission has not set a date for hear
ing. The cotton rate is especially pro
tested by the railroads, who contend
that it is materially lower than the
rate prescribed by the interstate com
merce commission, and would, there
fore, give undue preference to ship- j
pers of intrastate cotton over inter
state shippers.
It is further contended that the
commission should not have fixed
joint rates on cotton, grain, grain
products and hay without giving thirty
days’ notice to the roads affected and
allowing them to be heard.
Judge John McGurdy Passes Away
Stone Mountain. —Judge John Mc-
Gurdy, one of the oldest citizens of
this town died recently after a short
illness. He was for fifty-two years
justice of the peace of the Stone
Mountain district, and leaves hosts of
friends throughout the county. He
was eighty-seven years old. Judge
McGurdy is survived by two sons,
Dr. W. T. McGurdy and J. S. Mc-
Gurdy, president of the Granite bank,
and two daughters, Mrs. S. B. Hayney j
and Miss Dorothy McCurdy. He was j
the uncle of Sheriff J. A. McCurdy, of '
Decatur. Funeral arrangements will
be announced later.
Naval Stores Interests Plan New Bill
Savannah. —Representatives of nav
al stores interests in convention here I
recently appointed a committee of
twelve to frame a bill to be submit
ted as a substitute for the Harrison j
bill, now bejpre congress. Speakers ;
declared ‘‘we desire to establish a
standard grade and type of turpentine ;
and rosin.’’ The committee was ex- j
pected to meet at once to begin
work on the bill. The convention also
appointed a committee to investigate
and report on the advisability of form- i
ing a permanent organization of nav- '
al stores trade.
L. D. Passmore To Run For Senate
Sylvester.—L. D. Passmore, Sylves- ;
ter attorney, will be a candidate for
state senator from the Tenth sena
torial district, which is made up of j
the counties of Worth, Dougherty and j
Leo, at the coming primary. Under
the plan of rotation, Worth county 1
will furnish the senator in the election
to be held this year. Colonel Pass
more is among the leading attorneys !
of south Georgia, and his many
friends are freely predicting that he
will be without opposition in the pur
suit of the senatorship.
| SOUTHERNERS URGED
FOR RESEARCH WORK
Proposal Made That Co-Operative
League Use Students Os State
Universities
Atlanta. —A proposal that the
Southern Co-operative league use the
graduate students of southern state
universities in an extensive program
of research along the lines of educa
tion, public health, economics and
kindred subjects, was made by Presi
dent Philander P. Claxton, at a ses
sion of the organization and program
committees here recently.
The meeting called together twen
ty or more of the most prominent
educators and sociologists in the
South. The organization, for ten years
prior to 1921, was known as the South
ern Sociological congress.
“Submit such matters to analysis
and research by graduate students,”
said Dr. Claxton, ‘‘and you would
| soon have thousands of facts never
discovered or noticed before. Such
research into new truth by the most
finished scholars in the south would
uncover information, the value of
which could not be estimated.”
Alumni Hall Completion Certain
Athens.—A University of Georgia
building committee composed of Har
ry Hodgson, and John E. Talmadge
of Athens, and Warren Moise of At
lanta, recently appointed at a meet
ing in Atlanta, announced this week
through Mr. Hodgson, that the com
pletion of Alumni hall will be gotten
under way immediately. With the re
sumption of work on this building,
the first step in the University’s mil
lion dollar building program will be
taken. At the Atlanta meeting, Mr.
Hodgson chairman of the campaign
committee turned the $1,117,000 over
to the board of trust of which Judge
Andrew J. Cobb of Athens is the
chairman, and John E. Talmadge Jr.,
also of Athens, is the vice-chairman.
Resolutions were drawn up in At
lanta thanking Mr. Hodgson and oth
er members of the committee for their
work during the recent campaign.
Terry And Howell Must Serve Time
Atlanta. —Last hopes of O. M. How
ell and Lon Terry, former city detec
tives, and Griff Freeman of escaping
the chaingang were dissipated when
the supreme court of Georgia dismiss
ed their certiorari proceedings and
notified Solicitor-General Boykin that
the last legal barrier between the ac
cused officers and the court’s verdict
had been removed. This decision
marked the conclusion of one of the
most desperately fought criminal
cases in Fulton county’s history which
in its various ramifications not only
is the most acrimonious sort of strug
gles in grand jury, police board, and
city council.
Bonds Used To Aid Farmers
Americus.—Officers of the board of
county commissioners, County Treas
urer H. D. Watts and the clerk of
Sumpter superior court, H. E. Allen,
signed and sealed $216,000 of road
bonds being issued by Sumter coun
ty. The bonds, which are in denom
inations of SI,OOO, represent the unis
sued portion of an authorized issue of
$500,000, and were recently sold to
J. H. Hilsman & Co., of Atlanta, at
par. They bear interest at 5 per cent
and run during thirty years.
Amerson Is Held On Murder Charge
Macon.—A coroner’s jury investiga
ting the death of W. L. Kirk, insur
ance agent, shot to death in front of
his home, ordered C. G. Amersoni
held for the murder and Lloyd Tuck
er as accessory to the crime. Amer
son claimed that he shot in self-de
fense. Tucker says he had no part
in the shooting. Kirk’s wife ,and
family were the main witnesses at
the inquest.
Camilla Cotton Oil Property Is Sold
Camilla. —The entire holdings of
the Camilla Cotton Oil and Fertilizer
company, of Camilla, were sold at
i sheriff’s sale recently for $20,000 to
the Citizen’s Bank of Valdosta. The
plant is in good condition and the
price brought was considered very
| small for the property conveyed. A
gain at the cotton mill, was also sold
! for SSOO to the same parties.
Frost Damages Peach Crop
Woodland. lt has been estimated
by the peach growers in this section
! that not more than 10 per cent dam
[ age to the peach crop resulted from
the freeze recently which was ac-
I companied by the heaviest frost of the
winter.
Mrs. Fox Is Harlem Postmistress
Harlem. —Mrs. Sarah Bell Fox, act
ing postmaster for more than two
years, having been recommended by
; the republican committee, has receiv
ed the regular appointment. Ten ap
plicants took the examination at dif
ferent times, only four passing. One
i was ineligible, one withdrew, leaving
only Mrs. Fox and C. J. Grubbs as
I contestants.
Melon Growers Must Replant
Thomasville.—Those watermelon
growers who took time by the fore
lock and planted before the regular
planting time are said to have suffer-
I ed from the frost of recently, the
young vines which had put up being
badly injured so that a replanting
will be necessary. With the plan of
planting every week for some time
I there will, of course, be others to
come on, but those who risked the
possibility of frost and planted a por
tion of their crop early will be oblig
ed to plant that part of it again.

I. Israel Taken Into Captivity
(vv. 1-6).
This was the fulfillment of that
which Amos had predicted in the days
of Jeroboam 11, at a time when the
nation was at the height of its pros
perity. The northern kingdom was
ruled by 19 kings, all of whom were
wicked. Their wickedness was not be
cause of lack of information or op
portunity, but in spite of it. God
promised the first king His blessing
if he would be loyal to Him. Jero
boam departed from God and the
apostasy thus begun continued down
ward to the end. In the reign of
Hoshea, the last king, the king of
Assyria came and besieged Samaria
and carried the children of Israel cap
tive to Assyria, from which they never
returned.
11. The Sins Which Caused Their
Doom (vv. 7-18).
1. Conformed to the ways of the
heathen (vv. 7-9). God had com
manded them not to follow in the
ways of the heathen, but' these
Israelites, instead of maintaining lives
of separation, secretly did that which
was displeasing to God. Secret sins
just as surely as open sins bring ruin,
for all things are naked and open to
Him with whom we have to do. One
may maintain his reputation before
men while practicing sins, but ruin
will sooner or later overtake him.
Even though God had cast out the
heathen for practicing these sins, the
Israelites followed in their ways. God
demands separation (II Cor. 0:17).
2. Served idols (vv. 10-12). They not
only compromised by “walking in the
statutes of the heathen,” but worshiped
their gods. It was not a long step
from following in the statutes of the
heathen to worshiping their gods.
Before they worshiped idols they cast
off the true God. Idolatry came in
because the race did not wish to re
tain God in its affection (Rom. 1:21-
23). People today are worshiping
Idols because they have first cast off
the authority of the living God. Man
is a worshipful being. When he
ceases to worship the true God, he
worships other gods. Neutral ground
Is impossible.
3. They were rebellious (vv. 13-
15). God by his prophet had said
unto them “Turn ye from your evil
ways and keep my commandments,"
but they stubbornly refused His
testimony, even rejected His statutes.
God, in love, tried to save them. He
sent some of the noblest and best
prophets who ever spoke to man to
persuade them to turn from their
sins, such as Elijah and Elisha, hut
they hardened their necks and plunged
deeper into wickedness.
4. Caused their sons and daughters
to pass through the fire (v. 17). This
was the dreadful Moloch worship—the
most cruel rite of heathen worship.
It was done by kindling a fire in a
hollow metal Image until Its arms were
red hot and placing live children
therein to be burned to death.
5. Resorted to magical practices
(v. 17). When faith in the true God
wanes, men always turn to the magical
arts. In this way they sold them
selves to evil in the sight of the Lord
to provoke Him to anger.
111. Judgment Falls (v. 18).
At this stage of the drama the cur
tain falls. God could not be inactive
longer.
1. God was very angry. God’s anger
Is not raving fury, but the revulsion
of His holy nature against sin. Sin
cannot exist in IFis presence. His
wrath must strike. Though He waits
long, the debt must he paid and always
with compound interest. There is only
one way to escape God’s wrath; that
is, to turn from sin.
2. Removed them out of His sight.
The land of Palestine is regarded as
the land of God’s sight; that Is, the
place of Ills manifested presence.
Their national Identity was blotted
out forever. These people are still
scattered among the nations, and as a
separate nation doubtless they will
never return to their land. The judg
ment was severe, but not more so
than the sins merited. God had waited
long. The despising of His grace
must eventually work ruin. What
judgment must fall upon the people
today who reject His grace and mercy!

to play n part In the adornment of the
afternoon frock.
