It is with genuine sorrow and regret
that the names of John Flowers. Ben
Guinn, Clark Avery. Sam Johnson. Si
las Morgan and Frank McCart must
be stricken from the list of the living
and enrolled among the dead soldiers
of the Confederacy. We shall hold
them in blessed memory and happy

and upright citizens of their country,
We are glad to bear testimony to
the fact that these men served well
their day and generation. There were
many problems which they were com- j
polled to face and solve in the face of
many odds. They bore themselves like ( j
men and may be numbered among
those who fought a good fight and had i
finished their course in life. j
We extend to those near and dear
unto them our sineerest sympathy.
We would seek to share v:th them

WHEN SUBSCRIPTIONS EXPIRE
THE POST OFFICE RULING
The right of publishers to extend in good faith credit un¬
subscriptions is recognized and will not be abridged, and al¬
though all subscriptions arc regarded as expiring with the
period for which they were obtained, nevertheless, in order
to give an opportunity to secure renewals, copies of their
publications will he accepted for mailing as to subscribers
at the usual second class rates of postage for a period of one
year from the dote of expiration, but copies sent to persons
alter one year from the date of expiration of their subscrip¬
tions, unless such subscriptions be expressely renewed for
a definite time, together with an actual payment of subsnip
i;, n or a bona fide promise of payment, will not be accept 'd
at the pound rate but will be accepted at the transient sec¬
ond-class rate of one cent for each four ounces, or fraction
thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed.
1—
We respectfully call the attention of our delinquent
subscribers to the above. The Postoffice department al¬
lows a certain latitude of time during which we may send the
paper at the pound rate to you, who have not paid up. That
period is one year after the subscription has run out. Not
a minute’s grace is allowed to us. The name must come oflf
the list or else we must place a one cent stamp on each copy
of the paper sent you from then on.
In sending the paper to a delinquent after they are one
year behind, we will not only be out the paper and the ink,
but wi.Ii have to pay one cent cash to send the paper on, ami
we don’t believe there is any of our friends who wants us
to have to go down into our pockets and pay 52 cents extra
a year, above the cost of the paper and other work to put
out the paper.
We sent out subscription bills recently, and while the
response was gratifying, there are some who have not
COME ACROSS, and, of course, we will be compelled to re¬
move your name from the list.
The price of the paper by the year is less than 3 cents
per week.
NEWTON COUNTY NOTES
1
(By J. O. Martin)
county woman, Mrs. Eugenia B. Heard*
who before her marriage was Miss Eu
dicl ,fle most monumental piece °? of ford eon- ’
structive work of any woman who has
gone out from the county. Her home
‘
was at Elberton, Elbert county. She
had a son twelve years of age to die. he
left a dozen or more hooks which he had
read and re-read. After h ! s death, lvs
mother ins sted thai these books should
become the property of his schoolmates,
and hence, with these books es a nu
eleus, went about organizing a commu¬
nity library. So deeply interested in the
work did Mrs. Heard become that she
spent practically all the remainder of
her life in this great cause. She was in¬
strumental in enlisting the aid of the
offioilas of the Seaboard Air Line in es¬
tablishing a traveling library for the
employes and for the children of the
schools to which the children form the
homes of the employees went. Later
she interested Andrew Carnegie and
other philanthropists in making dona¬
tions to the cause.
Today at the Heard home, 'R so
Hill” it is called (and from the thous¬
ands oi roses that bloom around the
house, it has the right name! there are
50,000 books and 5,000 or 10,000 iroga
zines which are kept in circulation on
the lines of the Seaboard all the time.
Thousands of children, men and women
read those books and magazines. It is
the only library of its kind in existence.
Since the death of Mrs. Heard several
years ago, the library has been kept in¬
tact by her only daughter, Mrs. I. V'.
Swift. Mr. Heard, who still lives and
takes great interest in the library, is a
descendant of Ex-Governor Heard, of
this state.
In speaking of Governor Heard, I an
reminded of another descendant of his
who has been a leading force in her sec¬
tion of the country. I refer to Mrs. Phil
AV. Davis, of Lexington, Georgia. Mrs.
Davis was for a number of years head
of the Neesom Academy, at Lexington.
She is a woman of exceptional culture
and possesses a forceful and engaging
personality. She has used a strong in¬
fluence for high and noble ideals among
all with whom she has come in contact
especially among the young, both local
ly and statewide. Often the question is
aR ked, M bat becomes of the descend
an ts of our leading people’”'
While speaking of the library move
ment we are reminded of one other
thing. If the hooks of the Covington li
brary and those of the county school li
braries cc-sld be consolidated and taken
to the people by menas of a specially
prepared truck, they would serve a
much greater purpose. This truck could
be load >d each ady and driven in a new
direction, where stops could be made at
each •liLne and bonks sc b ". ted Viy the
occuj-ante to suit their wishes on vari
ous subjects. These trips could be re
peated once every two or three weeks,
when the old books could he taken up
and new ones given out.
In order to do tis. some expense of
equipping a truck and employing a
careful driver and deliveryman would
be incurred, but it would be (he great
est step in one right direction that the
county could possibly make,
Free delivery of hooks is coming, just
as sure as free delivery of mail came,
and since Newton county has been a
pioneer in a number of most worth
while things, why not try this out and
tico how it works?

NEWS NOTES OF MATRONS CLASS
OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
I am afraid the teacher was a bit dis¬
appointed that more didn’t come out
Sunday and I’ll admit I was. By better
attendance she will be encouraged, and
the class will go on and on to better
things. .
Now the main thing we are after is
100 per cent attendance every Sunday,
and in order to bring our class up to
what it should be let us decide to use
the 3-P panacea, which is “Pep, Punch
and Persistence.”
Punch, as it relates to an organized
class, means the members have to put
their shoulders to the wheel and shove
the wagon along. The class with punch
hits the line good and hard and makes
a goal every time.
The literal meaning of “Pep” is get
up-and-getness. “Pep” also means per¬
sonality, rrtagnetism, widq-awakeness.
Tlte pep person radiates sunshine and
good cheer wherever he may be.
Lastly, but not leastly, we touch
lightly on the third element in the 3-P
panacea, which is “Persistence.” Don't
give ui) the ghost until the last breath
leaves your bodies. Don’t lie satisfied
with your present weekly attendance.
Go after the matrons until you pack
the class room and have to hang out
the S. R. O. sign. Keep your class on
the map and on the job all the year
’round. Tha.t’s persistence—keeping
forever at it.
“Pep, Punch and Persistence,” if
used according to directions are guar¬
anteed to put even a firstclass small
town Sunday school class on the map.
Now, matros, let us try this 3-P pana¬
cea, and whate\ r er we do let us not go
back to the Sleepy Hollow methods.
Let each member he present Sunday.
All visitors are cordially welcomed and
every matron in the city who is not en¬
rolled with some other class or school
is invited to join our class.
The committee who made a visit to
the orphanage at Hapeville to see the
little girl the class previously adopted
made an interesting and favorable re¬
port Sunday morning. The little girl
was very proud of the outttt sent from
the class and fell very much in love
with one of the committee. They were
promised that we might hax»e her visit
us this summer.
Many a heart was filed with joy to
see the young men swell the choir Sun¬
day morning at Sunday school. We
hope that they may feel this their
place and find their way to the choir
each Sunday morning.
Some few of our class are ill. We
hope that they will soon be restored to
health and be able to come together
with us at class.

CONGRESSMAN BRAND PRAISED
IN EDITGRAL FOR RECORD AND
HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR
FARMERS.
The splendid record made by Judge
Charles H. Brand, congressman of the
Eighth district, stands out prominent
not only in Athens and his district,
but it has attracted state and nation¬
wide attention. The Atlanta Constitu
ion editorially, has this to say of his
accomplishments and especially on
farm credits legislation enacted through
his efforts:
BRAND’S PROVISIONS
A great deal has been said and writ¬
ten about recently enacted farm cred¬
its legislation. As the bill finally came
from conference and as now written
in the statues, it represents the com¬
posite efforts of a great many mem¬
bers of both houses of congress; but it
is not overstating the facts to declare
that Georgia representatives had per¬
haps more active part in the complet¬
ed legislation than those of any other
state.
Congressman Brand, of the Eighth
district, is a member of the house com¬
mittee on banking and currency, and
has for nearly two years been peculiar¬
ly active in getting legislation that was
finally included in the recently passed
measure.
In April, 1921, he introduced tin
amendment to the federal reserve act
providing for the discount of notes,
drafts and bills of exchange of factors.
This followed a decision of the feder¬
al reserve board that factors’ papers
were not of the eligiblos, though these
securities had formerly been discounted.
The purpose of Congressman Brand’s
bill was to restore the eligibility of
factors’ papers; and under the rural
credits hill, as passed, farmers can go
to these factors and warehouses and
have the money advanced them to
make their crops and the factors in
turn can take the farmers’ notes for
their money and with the same, as col¬
lateral security, can borrow money
from member banks to replace or take
care of what they have loaned the far¬
mers.
In other words, it adds another class
of people to the eligible list who may
go to member banks of the system and
borrow money for the use of their pat¬
rons or customers who for several
years have not been able to do so. This
is very important to the farming
classes.
In March, 1922. Congressman Brand
introduced an amendment to the fed¬
eral farm loan aet so that actual farm¬
ers might be enabled to borrow money
f or indebtedness due by them when not
incurred for agricultural purposes.
This bill, under the amendment em¬
bodied in the composite bill, takes care
of a new' class of farmers w r ho may
make loans who have heretofore been
held ineligible under the ruling of the
f,.qoral farm loan board. In other words,
the law as it stood before this credit
hill was passed was that no farmer
could borrow money to pay indebted¬
ness which he owed unless such indebt¬
edness was contracted for agricultural
purposes.
There were hundreds of thousands of
dollars in (he state owed by farmers
when the deflation avalanche struck the
country in 1920, which was not incur¬
red for agricultural purposes, and there¬
fore they could not borrow money on
their lands to liquidate the same. The
loans or debts were largely due to the
slump in the price of cotton, for which
the farmers were not responsible. Many
people were forced into bankruptcy on
account of this class of farmers and
this indebtedness being outlawed by the
federal farm loan board.
When the Georgian introduced the
bill to amend the law and take in this
class of farmers and loan them money
on their land, whether the debts were
incurred for agricultural purposes or
not, Judge Lobdell wrote him a letter
approving the bill, stating that the law 7
ought to be amended.
The amendment which Judge Brand
proposed was embodied in the compos¬
ite bill with the exception that in the
latter hill such indebtedness above re¬
ferred to was limited to January 1. 1922.
That is to say, they would loan money
to farmers to discharge indebtedness,
provided the same w 7 as contracted prior
to January 1. 1922. The idea of the ma¬
jority of the committee was that this
limitation would take care of most of
the indebtedness incurred by reason of
the great loss in farm products during
1920 and 1921.
The public is quite familiar with the
efforts of Judge Brand in what is
known as the Harris-Brand amendment
in regard to allowing state banks of
small capitalization to enter the federal
reserve system.
