Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., March 31, 1911 WHERE ARE THEIR MINDS? We are in receipt of the follow* Dear Bro. Editor: God's helpless feeble - minded children ask you to use this little article in your paper. If you find anything you can use in this special issue of the Orphans Message we will be glad for you to use it. Please help to lead Georgia to do her duty. With thanks for past kindnesses, 1 am, Your brother, H. L. Crumley. , The article to which he re ferred is given elsewhere in these columns. These feeble-minded ones have often been the subject of our thoughts; and the thoughts have been conflicting ones, leading us to no fixed conclusion as to their condition and their treatment. In the court-room we have ob served witnesses on the stand stare blankly as their only reply to the simplest question, and every spectator said in his mind “it is a weak-minded witness.” But with the repetition of the query by a patient questioner, the face ©f the witness would light up with that radiant light which only intellect’s lamp can produce and with the re mark, “Oh, I understand.” And may it not be that many such as Mr. Crumbley mentions may only lack understanding and not mind? And is there not hope that some skillful, patient, and kindly person, trained to the task, may fling wide open to such the door now but slightly ajar and enable that mind completely to cry “I understand?” For saving minds is the next most important thing to saving souls. Indeed it often means the saving of souls which would other wise he lost. 1 understand ranks second only to I believe, in im portance to the human being. Men who have studied the mind have taught us that this is true, and that the feeble-minded may sometimes be strengthened in mind, and so deserve and demand treatment different from that given the idiot. To this end efforts are being made to have Georgia establish an institution for the feeble-minded, either to itself apart, or as a de tached and separately conducted branch of one of our existing in stitutions. Mr. Crumbley has taken up this noble work, and is attempting to arouse us to the importance of the matter. He speaks of some unfortunate ones who are the objects of the ridicule of the town. Yes, their misfortune thus become doubled by the jokes of everybody but the family of the feeble-minded one. But the family is daily enlarging to embrace all the world into one vast family in feeling, and this movement is an evidence of the fact. Will you join the movement and enter into this larger family? A word to our representatives in its favor will aid in bringing to a successful issue this movement which means conservation of man hood and womanhood in Georgia. Flippen. Mr. W. L.

LOUIS K. “SUPREME" and BLOOD, BONE “SOUTHERN BIG" and TANKAGE BRANDS W’Wfi FERTILIZERS ATLANTA, GA. A cheap fertilizer is the most expensive item a farmer uses on his farm. It is a tax that he levies upon himself and that requires no bailiff to collect. He pays tribute to it in wasteful sums with every leaching rain, and when the drouths strike his crops and the critical fruiting season begins, he finds too late that he has submitted to “taxation without representation.” Our “Supreme” and “Southern Big” Brands are not taxes, but invest ments that yield big returns in crops and enhanced values of land. They are made of the highest class of Blood, Bone and Tankage, especially prepared for MORRIS • r .• •, - CUANO - quick, constant and continuous crop feeders. They do not leach out in the soil, but become available for plant food so gradually that the plant is fed plentifully and systematically just as it needs it. There is no waste.
