Hope 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. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional
remedy, is taken internally and acts

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. On
- tario a great distance from Geor
| gia ,\;.d few G'*or inns visit Ontario.
Therefore, miss'atn cuts and half
truths could Ye uttered with more
sr r
Evidently there is nothing in .19
results of ventures by cities in tho
United States in Municipal Owner
ship of Public Utilities that anpeals
to him. He di 1 for a while refer to
Seattle’s plunge into the street rail
way business, but when Seattle was
forced to raise fares on its municipally
owned street car lines and beg the
street car company to return the
bonds pa: 1 the S.roet Car Company
and lake back the system, l e was com
pelled to return to Ontario and its
municipalities, now burdened with ap
pal’ing debt because of their endorse
ment of a venture in the Socialistic
do trine f public ownership of pri
vate business.
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

Why Put It Off '
\
AS a lecuk of the present low price of cotton and general de
pressed financial conditions many planters, who have
grown cotton largely in the past, are hesitating and de
laying the beginning of another crop.
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.

“Right in the beginning” is the time to begin the
