Humanity is un the verge of
greatest spiritual awakening since G<
said. “Let there be light.”
The church of God is spending its
w rath on little things and letting the
body politic go to hell.
There is too much compromising be¬
tween the church and the devil.
1 ask no quarter from the devil an 1
I give none.
A lot of our Christianity is ton cold.
The Lord may have to [tile a cofti t

bend it.
Don't throw your ticket away when
a train goes into a tunnel; it will come
out on the other side.
The safest pilot is not the man who
wears the biggest hat but the one who
knows the channel.
If a man goes to hell he ought to be
there or he wouldn’t be there.
1 am preaching for this age in which
I live.
I am just recasting my vocabulary
to suit the age in which I live instead
of Joshua’s age.
The church gives the people what
they need; the theatre what they wan'.
Your reputation is what people say
about you.
Your chare ter is what God and you r
wife know about you.
The carpet in the front of some of
you people’s mirrors is worn thread¬
bare. while the place by your bed
where you should kneel to pray is good
as the day it was bought.
Some persons think they have to
look like a hedgehog to be pious.
Look at the preaching Jesus did and
you will find that it was aimed at thj

If you live wrong you can’t die righ".
If you want to know what any na¬

If it wasn’t for prohibition, the re¬

During the recent wine week in

prohibition wall.
The lying liquor bunch claim that
the American Federation of Labor is

not for whiskey.
You never had a man in Columbia

A SHORT TALK
By Marvin Bast
the secret of contentment
The human soul is about as restless
as the sea, and about as calm.
Day in and day out the waves of the
deep roll and froth as if in quest of
repose, while underneath the fathom
less volumes of water as calm as sleeo
itself. Of course the billows would lie
down on the bosom of the deep more
often if they could control themselves.
As it is, they are products of their en¬
vironment. subject to every wind that
blows.
Like them, many people live in a
state of constant upheaval. They seem
never to pass out of the childish habit
of looking for satisfaction in things
which gratify the senses. They appar¬
ently never look at the stars, or con¬
sider anything beyond this mundane
sphere. They must always seek enter
tainment by fondling earthly toys.
Poor souls! How little life with all its
possibilities for eternal pleasure must
mean to them! There is really no neel
for any normal human being to become
obsessed with tangible things, for be
who reasons will invariably conclude
that the things which are seen are,
temporal.
No flower but withers; no musical in¬
strument that does not get out of tune;
no scene that does not change and fade.
Our very lives are fleeting, so "that we
have no permanent lease on any earth¬
ly object or pursuit.
Whence, then, is contentment to be
obtained? It proceeds solely from an
implicit trust in the Creator of all
things, ascribing to Him infinite wis¬
dom, power and love.
With a deep, abiding trust of this
sort, one is not dependent on physical
surroundings for peace of mind.
Health of body, a place to work, rest,
play. eat. and sleep; the sun to shine,
birds to sing, family and friends to com¬
fort—these are sufficient for his every
desire. Or if any, or all. of them be de¬
nied him, he still is happy in the
thought of everlasting joys which await
the faithful.
CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
IS HEAVY TAX PAYER
The Central of Georgia Railway, the
largest taxpayer in Georgia, paid more
for taxes in 1922 than it paid in divi¬
dends on capital stock. Out of each dol¬
lar expended by this road last year,
4.95 cents went for taxes.
These and many ohter interesting fig¬
ures are presented in a form that is
less confusing than the average statis¬
tical table by President Winburn, who
tells where the railroad dollar comes
from and where it goes.
The average revenue per ton of
freight per mile is only 1 1-4 cents—
proof that it is volume of business r&
ther than rate that enables the road to
meet expenses.
The Central of Georgia hauled more
than three and one half million passen¬
gers last year. The average distance per
passenger was 44 miles, and the aver¬
age revenue per passenger per mile was
3 1 -S cents.
There has been some recent agitation
concerning salaries paid to general offi¬
cers of railroads. The Central of Geor¬
gia pays less than one-half of a cent out
of each dollar it expends to its general
officers as salaries.
The statement gives an interesting
insight into the various phases of the
transportation business.
MONEY FROM FARM DAIRY
Atlanta, Ga.. April 12—VV. R. Tuck¬
er. agricultural development agent of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad, has furnished some interest¬
ing and unusual figures on a farm dairv
located near Cordele.
The owner of this farm dairy is H.
K. Finn. Mr. Finn has fourteen cows
and he ships cream from these to the
Cordele creamery. Here are the receipts
for three months as taken from the
books of the Cordele creamery: For no
vember, $260.15; for December $268.85;
for January $284.00.
Mr. Finn paid out nothing for feed,
raising all the feed on his own farm;
he paid out nothing for labor, milking
the cows himself. In addition he hal
the skimmed milk from these fourteen
cows to feed his hogs and chickens and
the fertilizer to enrich his farm.
The farm of Mr. Finn is a twenty
horse farm. On it in 1922 he raised 103
hales of cotton and he did not have to
go into debt one penny for the rais¬
ing. The creamery checks enabled him
to pay cash for what he bought.
GEORGIA. Newton County.
Whereas, the First National Bank in
a petition alleging to lie a creditor of
the estate of Harman Berry, late of
said county, deceased, has applied to
me for letters of administration to is¬
sue to C. O. Nixon, clerk Newton Supe¬
rior Court on the estate of said Har¬
man Berry, deceased; this is therefore
to cite all persons concerned, both kin¬
dred and creditors to show cause, if
any they can, before me at the next
regular term of Newton Court of Ordi¬
nary why letters of administration
should not be granted on said estate as
prayed. j

MONEY IN LETTUCE
Atlanta, Ga., April 12—Another con¬
of St. Simon products has gone
to northern markets with the
to New York of a car load of
by the St. Simon Island Invest¬
Company, according to informa¬
tion received here by the state agricul-j
tural department. This was said to be j
the first cargo of this kind that has!
been shipped from Glynn county.
Within the last few .weeks three car¬
of radishes have been shipped
from the farms of the St. Simon Invest-!
ment Company. That was, in itself, ac-i
to agriculturists here, an inno-1
vation so far as Glynn, or any other 1
in Georgia is concerned. When |
it is considered that this is only the j
of the industry on the island :
by this company, it gives a fairly adc- i
quate conception of what can be ac¬
complished by proper effort.
Tlie carload of lettuce, which das des¬
tined for New York, was said to rep¬
resent $1,200 to the growers. And there
are others to follow, reports state,
which shows that in the one crop the
revenue is far greater than that n -
ceived from others that require more
ground, and consequently more work.
Industrial Agent W. R. Tucker, of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail¬
way, who lives on St. Simon Island,
was in Atlanta today. He said the
prospects of the island were practically
unlimited, as it is one of the most fer¬
tile lands in the south. He said fur¬
ther he was confident that in a short
time St. Simon will be producing truck
by the carload daily for the northern
markets, and that those engaged in the
industry are bound to reap a rich har¬
vest.
WHAT HAVE WE GAINED?
These are the days of speed and power,
The longest mile in the shortest hour.
The swiftest way to the farthest goal,
No matter what risk of body or soul.
So the clear-eyed horse with velvet skin
You swap for a horn and a bundle of tin
But more than you think or ever know,
You scrap with the horse that has
grown too slow.
A heart he had, and it beat for you.
Honest, loving, loyal and true;
A will that was keen for the thing <o
be done,
Furrow to turn, or race to be run.
And then the children—no chances
grim
Menaced and mocked when they rode
with him.
Servant and master? Well, yes—and yet
A trusted friend you will not forget.
You have scrapped the horse; he has
grown too slow
For the swifter pace you are bound to
go;
But when you soberly count the cost.
Are you sure you have gained as much
as you lost?—Our Dumb Animals.

SMART TAILGRED SUIT
One of those trim, plain, beautifully
tailored suits, which have come to be
distinguished as “American” tailored
suits, makes a bid for approval in the
picture. It is of dark blue twill cloth
and has a plain, straight skirt. As
styles go, the coat is also plain, but it
has a unique embellishment of tucked
material that forms the cuffs and ap¬
pears on the lower part of the coat.
TYPICAL SPRING STYLE
A little excursion among new spring
coats reveals light colors, plain de¬
signs and a discreet use of buttons and
braid for embellishment. A few bold
checks vary the plain, soft materials.
A typical coat in tan color Is pictured,
cut on conservative but smart lines;
the sort of coat to wear any time and
anywhere.
HATS OF DISTINCTION
Other millinery may be more plabo
v&te, but none has more distl iction

GEORGIANS INCORPO¬
RATED IN MACON MAY 8.1
Atlanta, Ga., April 12.—Robert F.
Maddox, Atlanta capitalist and former
president of the American Bankers As¬
sociation, will head the ways and
means committee of Georgians Incor¬
porated, it was announced today by
Hal M. Stanley, Georgia Commissioner
of Commerce and Labor, and chairman
of the executive committee of Geor¬
gians Incorporated.
The committee of which Mr. Maddox
is head will draw up a plan of financ?
for the new organization. This plan
will be submitted lo the state-wide
meeting in Macon on May 8th, when
permanent officers are to be elected and
a definite program of work adopted for
increasing the number of industrial
pay rolls in Georgia.
In accepting appointment as chair¬
man of the >a avs and means commit¬
tee, Mr. Maddox declared himself
heartily in sympathy with the new in¬
dustries movement, which was launch¬
ed here last month at a banquet given
by Preston S. Arkwright. |
“Georgia cannot hope to enjoy the
prosperi'.;. her natural advantages war¬
rant unt’l she puts her natural advan¬
tages to use," Mr. Maddox declared.
“Industrial growth is as important to
Georgia as agriculture, because the
state can never get the full benefit of
its agriculture until it can manufacture
its own products.”
