Newspaper Page TextHope Thou in God. IK El un Franklin Dempsey, 1). 1)., in Southern Cultivator Punlishett by lt<- quest of Mrs. Shirley Kellay, All of us have some hope hiddt n away in our hearts We are weary of the present, we are far from our heart’s desire —but we are looking forward with expectation, more or less confident, to the fu ture. How could we live without this forward look? “Hope springs eternal in the human breast,” said Pope. But we know that some human hearts are in the Land of Dark Despair, where no ray of hope’s rosy light can ever come. So, we conclude that there are some human hearts in which hope does not eternally spring. Yet each of these, during the life on earth, doubtless clung to some last desperate hope, forgetting the words of God ’that, “The hypo crite’s hope shall perish” and that “when a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish;” and “the hope of unjust men perisheth.” False hopes! How they have led millions away from God’s pure gold in the wild chase after the Devil’s fool’s gold! Let us have the right kind of hope and let us prove it —“On nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness” — in God alone will we find the eter nal basis for eternal hope. If we hope in men, they shall die and leave us; or worse still, shall be tray us; if we hope in any earthly prospect we shall die and leave it; for even if we win it, it shall at last “melt with fervent heat.” Well may we do as the saint of old did, and say to our soul, “Hope thou in God!” Who is it that is living'in hope? Is it not the person whose wants are still unsatisfied? If you have all you want, what is there to hope for? Thus, only those who are un satisfied experience hope. The sinner is unsatisfied and is often terror-stricken. Why should he not be, when a yawning hell flares out its flames in his very face? He can never be truly hope ful until he claims Jesus as his Savior. “He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him.” Is not that a great hope for alman who realizes that he is the helpless victim of his .sins, if some great power does not save him from their damning ef fect? Thus the vilest sinner may confidently say to his soul as he claims Jesus for his Savior, “Hope thou in God.” Again, many who claim Jesus as their Savior are yet enduring heavy afflictions at present and are in need of the strength which a great hope can bring. For them, also, there is a message in the words, “Hope thou in God.” Let your hope be in God, not in your plans, not in the advice of friends, not in anything less than our Mighty God. “Many are the af flictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shad break In blessings on your head. Thus may we all, saint and sin ner alike, support our lives by “the mighty hopes that make us men.” May each reader be led to say, dee h ) in his very soul, “1 will join the Psalmist and say to my restless and unsatisfied heart, as He did to his, “HOPE THOU IN GOD.” • There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was sup posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional con ditions and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medi cine, manufactured by F. J.

ONTARIO THROTTLED BY | GRASPING POLITICIANS Facts of Vital Interest to Everybody in Georgia Attempt to Build Similar Despotic Political Ma chine With Georgia Money The bulletins of the Municipal League of Georgia devote much space to telling the people of Georgia about how cheaply water powers have been developed in Ontario and about the low rates charged for electric service ; in Ontario, and how the farmers- use electric current to plow, wash clothes, milk the cow and churn. , Of course the writer of those bulle ' tins had to go a Ion;; distance from home to find the conditions suitable for a ha' k-ground for his proposed raid orvthe treasury of G ■ r da.

The Truth About Ontario Ontario i» a long, long way from Georgia, and the people in Georgia could r..it know of the complaints of comm, . dal bodies the poor ser vice vcmb red, nor of the political ma chine, throttling the energies of the province, nor < f the $70,000.000.00 of expenditures Er which the public of the province must eventually be taxed in -cldi icn to paying ever increasing deficiencies in operating the plants and sellir. • their products at less than cos', nor of the manipulations of rec ords necessary to keep these deficien cies hidden from the people. Therefore, lot us talk about On tario. One of the greatest water powers in the civili od world, Niaga ra Falls, i r.t Ontario’s door. At Niagara Fails more power can be de veloped at less outlay than at any other spot in North America. The flow of water over l.'iarara Falls compared \vk!» the flow < t the streams of Georgia, mai.es the stream flow in Georgia appear ridiculous. ho money necessary to build a darn which in Georgia impounds the flow of one small stream, would at Niagara Falls produce four times as much horso power, and storage dams, absolutely necessary in Georgia to hold water for dry seasons are unnecessary at Niagara Fails. In Georgia all the real ■ aimer; ial water powers are in the 1 ill count:-;/, near the head waters of the rivers, where the vokur.e of water is comparatively small. The streams of Georgia during dry peri ods become small and the develop ment cf a lar ;e and reliable quantity of power requires great engineering skill and large expenditures of money. Many dams must be built, some for generating stations and some to store large bodies of water, for use during the dry season. If Georgia had a Niagara Falls within one hundred rtr’.eri of .Ih’a :la, t’ c ror.t of develop ing < g trie j sower voould be greatly decree: cj instructive. Policy L’lic Hydro-Electric Commission of> Ontario is the pattern after which the Municipal League cf Georgia is drawn. The Ontario Commission has been in caistan.e about fourteen years, and up to 1920 had developed less than GO,OOO horse power, but in the meantime, it had sandbagged tha private companies which had develop ed water powers in that territory and forced them to accept whatever price the Commission felt disposed to offer for tWyir properties, and had taken over many of the privately owned properties. Its policy has been de structive, not constructive. Of course, the Province of Ontario and its municipalities put up the money for these so-called purchases and a proposed system of radial rail ways, and have issued bonds to raise money to the extent of something over $70,000,000.00, and because of this enormous debt the credit of the Province of Ontario is impaired. Tho Hydro-Electric Commission of On-j tario is entangled in politics and its) service has become so inadequate, in-j efficient and unsatisfactory that ccm-l plaints by commercial bodies are fro-! quent. The political influence of the Hydro-Electric Commission is so for-: midable that any effort to regulate it is abortive. This is exactly what Messrs. Key, Eagan and Jackson want to bring about in Georgia. They wish to build a political machine which will control Georgia and pave the way for Socialism, and they want the ic to furnish them the money withl which to do it, l i We can rebuild and recharge your old batteries.

Along with other tilings their seed arrangements are pushed aside and delayed. Such delay will result in hurried, makeshift, eleventh hour arrangements for the most vitally essential element for a successful crop. —the seed. Facing the present low prices for cotton it is fundamentally essential, lor the sake of a profit, that the grade of cotton be the very highest. The only way to make cotton planting profitable when the price is low, is to produce a better grade of cotton. The best lint can only be produced from the best seed of the best varieties on a restricted acreage that can be quickly gathered. W rite for our new Spring Catalog. PEDIGREED SEED CO. DAVID R. COKER.

He states that what the hogs need are minerals, and tells the se cret of his wonderful success by explaining that he takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraline (which is pure concentrated mine rals and costs only a couple of dol lars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a hundred pounds. All hogs, and especially brood sows, require minerals, as they keep them free from worms, in the pink of condition, and are essential to the hog’s growth and a well balanced ration. This inex pensive mixture, placed in a shel tered box where the hogs can get at it when they need it, w T ill pro duce fur better results than any high priced so-called stock foods.

No one ever learns what he knows about their physical condition. “Right in the beginning” is the time to begin the correction of an ailment. If you do not consider it suf ficient for calling in the doctor, at least tell the druggist. If it is a case for the doctor, he will tell you to hunt one without delay.
