Effect Of Draft On
Sales Estimated
D. U. Bathrick, general sales
manager of Pontiac Motor Divi
sion, produced figures today to
disprove rumors that the Conscrip
tion Act would have an adverse
effect on automobile sales.
“Conscription may place six per
cent of the present prospective
car buyers in military service’’,
Bathrick estimates. “This would
mean that a dealer who sells 200
cars a year would lose 12 sales
or one a month. Every dealer
could stimulate enough sales to
overcome that loss.
“In addition the defense pro
gram calls for increased industrial
activity which in turn means more
employment and more money in
circulation. These factors would
more than likely create four sales
for every sale lost because the
prospet is in the service.’’

- BY TOM KINNY -
One of the hardest things for young people to see is
the need of Jesus Christ in their lives. If they are healthy
and blessed with a fair income it is very easy for them to
forget God. They become so wrapped up in themselves that
God is pushed into the background. I know because it took
me a long time to see the folly of leading a sinful life; to
find out just HOW BIG God really IS. And, let me add,
just how LITTLE I am.
There is, I believe, a time in everyone’s life that
the need of God is felt. There is an emptyness—a feel
ing of fear, of littleness—something pleading with the
heart to let love and kindness come in and soothe the
nerves which have become strained by ungodly living
and neglect to reverence God.
Now the young people are prone to look about when
they feel the urge to accept Christ into their life. They
picture the life of a Christian; there is a feeling of pity in
the very word. It scares most of the young folks away be
cause it seems impossible for them to put self into the back
ground, worldly pleasure and all, look ahead to Christ and
follow,
However, I think that the best way to get a really
God-sent Heaven-born case of religion is for the seek
er to feel that all worldly pleasure must stop; that
God must rule supreme in their lives and that a desire
to live a life set apart from the world really exist in
their mind, then when the Holy Spirit enters the heart
there is a song of praise on the lips and sunshine
floods the soul. Thusly one will learn that the wrong
impression has been had of pleasure and fun alto
gether. Christ
A fellow once asked me how I knew had

about what had taken place in my life; that I had a silly
idea that Christ had made a new person out of me. The on
ly divine guidance, according to my friend, is the Bible.
“Just read the Bible,” he said ‘‘and follow instructions.
There is no need for that silly nonsense about having Jesus
Christ in your heart.”
j 0 t jj e j jeg j Q f my knowledge I explained to the
fellow just how Christ changed my life. He still
couldn’t understand how I could be so positive that
Christ had entered my life. He still thought there re
mained a chance of my being mistaken as to what had
actually happened to me. To explain it more clearly
an illustration something like this was used:
If you had been lost in the woods, miles away from
anyone wjth nothing but snakes, lizzards and wild beasts
lurking about you and you became hungry and tired and
when you had gone just about as far as you believed it
possible in the condition you were in, there loomed ahead
of you an old shack.
You entered the old shack not expecting any com
fort other than just shelter from the rain. After you
had built a fire in the fire place of the front room and
warmed your body good your desire for something to
eat was all the greater. And, to your amazement, up
on walking into another room of the old shack you
found a table loaded down with good warm food with
plenty of steaming hot coffee. Just a table full of ev
ery thing good to eat and even tooth picks for after
eating—then wouldn’t you believe someone had been
in the old shack?
To all this my friend replied, “Yes, I certainly would
believe that someone had been in the old shack and had
placed that wonderful LOOKING meal there but I think
would be afraid to eat it, not knowing who placed it
there.” if he had been hun
Our friend was assured that
gry enough he would have eaten from that table and
asked questions later. And, that after he had eaten he
gained strength and felt a desire to press onward out
of his lost state into a brighter world out yonder
he had a home and loved ones wouldn’t he surely be
lieve that the food on that table back there in that old
shack was the right kind of food; that it certainly
wasn’t poison to him. He was, think, convinced on
There are a lot of our young people lost out there in
the wilderness of sin. They are surrounded by
people and are wondering about their sinful ways;
see the old shack standing out there ahead of them
they are afraid to enter it. Some feel that there isn’t
hope there but if they would seek deep enough and
hungry enough they will find that the old shack
Jesus is the real means of a great salvation—food, joy and
contentment. of that , pride, ., folks, , ,,
Pull loose from some young
cept Christ before it is too late and you will have one
the most wonderful lives presented before you that
ever been heard of by mankind. Make your life
count something. This world is just a training ground
the world that is to come. Be ready for it, friends.

Tomorrow's

Addressing a great five-county
Democratic rally for Roosevelt at
Dublin last Friday evening, Willi
am Schley Howard, the noted At
lanta lawyer and public speaker,
tore into the Republican party
in true Howardesque style. The
writer had hoped to hear it, but
was prevented by another appoint
ment. From several friends who
did hear it, we learn that Mr.
Howard kept his audience in a
continuous gale of laughter and
applause as he mercilessly dis
sected the record of Republican
rule in Washington.
“No section of the country suf
fered as much as the South, and
no State of the South suffered
more than Georgia, during the
long years of Republican govern
ment that followed the War Be
tween the States,” Mr. Howard de
clared. He then went on to enum
I erate the Republican high tariffs
that bled the South white to en
! rich the industrial east; the Re
: publican dischiminatory freight
j rates, which for decade after dec
ade held back industrial develop
ment in the South; the niggardly
Republican appropriation to im
prove Southern harbors and navi
gable rivers.
On the question of national de
fense, Mr. Hward was equally ef
fective. He showed that in the
twelve years beginning with Hard
ing and ending with Hoover, the
United States built only one bat
tleship and actually sank five in
pursuance of the notorious dis
armament conference treaty; that
more than 100 scout cruisers were
laid up in Navy yards and were
not even painted in all that time;
that the Army and Marine Corps
were starved down to mere skele
tons of a military force.
Mr. Howard, of course, paid elo
quent tribute to President Roose
velt’s administration. He dealt
with Wendell Willkie in light and
humorous vein. The main body of
his address dealt with issues, not
men, and from all accounts it was
one of the finest political speeches
Mr. Howard has delivered in his
long and distinguished career. Mr.
Howard praised the fine work of
Ellis Arnall and William V. Crow
ley in forming Roosevelt-Wallace
Clubs and urged support of these
clubs in getting out a big vote on
November 5.
The magnificent new concrete
bridge across the Savannah river,
between Hartwell, Ga., and An
derson, S. C., was dedicated last
Friday with impressive ceremonies
attended by an immense gather
ing from far and near along U. S.
Highway 29. the Seminole Trail,
which has been called "The Main
Street Of The South.”
The bridge very appropriately
is named the “Louie Morris
Bridge” in honor of the editor of
the Hartwell Sun, who started
campaigning for the bridge years
ago and kept at it incessantly un-

F. S. A. Improves
Conditions of
301 Hart Families
Combining the sound farming
principles of soil improvement, ro
tation and diversification of crops,
and a live-at-home program with
a burning determination to better
their condition, 301 Farm Security
Administration borrowers of Hart
county are finding for the first
time in their lives the “security”
which has so long been denied
them through circumstances be
yond their power to alter.
A brief summary of FSA pro
gress in Hart county shows that at
the close of 1939 the 301 clients
were loaned $24,244 for that year
and have repaid $23,136, or almost
100 percent. The Farm Debt Ad
justment division effected a sav
ing of $4,.021 during a five year
period by administering 54 cases.
Cotton proved the principal
source of cash income for most of
the borrowers. With $310 as the
average amount received per fam
ily on a per farm average of 12
acres. Sale of cotten seed brought
an additional $35. However, cot
ton was by no means the sole
means of income as money was
realized from the sale of live
stock, truck crops, chickens and
eggs, milk and butter, sale of
seeds, and other like sources.
Triple-A payments averaged $120
per client and raised the average
cash income per family to $535.
Farm Security families have
made tremendous strides in land
improvement practices as is evi
denced by the 760 acres of win
ter legumes and the 1,806 acres
of summer legumes which weie
planted last year to improve the
til the highway departments of
South Carolina and Georgia set
aside funds for its construction. At
the Georgia end of the bridge
stands a handsome and impressive
marker, in the shape of a two-ton
block of Georgia granite, bearing
a bronze tablet on which is in
scribed the name of the bridge
and a tribute to Editor Morris
and the date of the dedication.
In a special edition celebrating
the bridge dedication, the Ander
son Indpendent in a front-page
editorial, accompanying a three
column picture of Editor Morris,
paid him this tribute;
“Years ago Louie Morris dream
ed of this bridge, as had others,
but he did not stop with dreaming.
He set to work to weave the dream
into concrete reality. This day
of the new bridge would not have
come without his vision and con
structive work.”
Editor Rush Burton of the La
vonia Times last week said of
his neighbor:
“Flowers don’t smell good to a
corpse. Let’s give them while the
recipient is still on earth to en
joy their fragrance. Louie has been
a great benefactor to his city, his
county and his State. We rejoice
with him in having this honor so
worthily bestowed in the naming
1 of the bridge.”
