yflfl[ THANKSGIVING DAY TEN YEARS AGO
| The Approaching Thanksgiving Reminds Me..
l BY ROBERT B. McCORD. .‘
It was on Wednesday befors
Thanksgiving ten years ago. I hatt
a long distance phone call from #&
county judge down the state, The
Children's Home Soclety had taken
homeless boys “and girls from his
county before, and £o he spoke now
with authority, “Get on the train in
Atlanta tonight and reach here to
morrow morning; 1 have a little or
phan girl you ought to take immedi
ately” To him 1t geemed not to
matter that tomorrow was Thanks
giving. That also was back in the
days when the Georgia Children’s
Home Society had nobody but me to
go for a little homeless girl.
The child was with her m.nd
mother eight miles out in the coun
try when I arrived in that county
capital next morning. Judge said
we'd drive out there for her just be
fore noon, and she'd eat turkey with
us at his house, As we drove along
he told me how the child’s mother
went out of the world as the ‘baby
came in, and how the poor, untrained
young father got along badly without
a mother for 'his baby until last sum
mer when he too had to go and leave
per. The old grandmother had since
then been the only chance for this
child of eight years,
Before Judge had apparently flnlsh-‘
ed his story the caristopped before
nothing more than a little old shauty
behind a split-rail fence. It was
twelve by my time-piece, and looking
in the front door we saw back there
a woman and child apparently eating
dinner. “Come in,” she said, and we
forthwith did it.
That grandmother must have seen
better days, for she really insisted
that we®eat dinner with them. We
did not, but Judge sat near by in a
vacant chair while I sat upon an old
trunk there close to the table. Be
fore the diners were one small piece of
cornbread, a saucer containing some
little white raw onions, and one empty
dish of turnips. I knew they had
been turnips, for just then grandma
took the empty dish and went to the
gtove in the same room for more.
Seems to me she ran the fork hope
fully through that potliquor many
more times than Peter seined the Sea
of QGalilee, and she caught nothing--—
except three small leaves of turnips.
She stopped talking to the Judge long
enough to say: ‘“Needa, they ain't
no more greens here. KEat them on
jons, I don’t want 'em.” I suppose‘
Needa didn’t want them either, for
ghe got up sadly and left the table.
Then I invited the little youngster
out and with my kodak made her pic
ture down there between that littie
old shanty and the split-rail fence.
She had on her Thanksgiving cloth
ing, and I got this snap-shet cf her
eelebrating. About that time Judge
~ought grandma out and we four
ve to the judge's kouse for a sure
gh Tbanksgiving dinner.
the story could be long, I might
you how later that wrinkied old
nan burst into tears when she saw
vda all bathed and dressed from
“d to foot in new clothing, “What
% of tears were they-—sorrow or
TEACHING PATRIOTISM
Part of the business of The
Youth’s Companion is cultivating a
fine patriotism—the love of country;
not wrong, but right. The Youth's
Companion started the movement
for putting the flag on the school-
Allegiance to the Flag that is re
house, it formulated the Pledge of
peated today in practically every
schoolhouse in the United States. It
has for a long time, now, been run
ning a series of patriotic covers pic
turing striking events in the nation’s
history. Painted by the best histori
cal illustrators in the country, they
are reproduced in full color at fre
quent intervals on The Companion’s
covers. It is worth a year's sub

these scenes in our building of the
nation pictured so graphically. They

joy? 1 don’t know. Why ask me to
explain any woman’s tears. f had
really expected some signs of joy
that “Mary’s baby” was now in the
hands of friends who would cause her
to look like other little girls and give
her a few good reasons for waunting
to live. .
1 enjoyed the turkey on my plate
that day, but I enjoyed more the tur
key which grandma and “Mary’s
baby” ate in our presence. It was
a Thanksgiving I'll never forget; and
though today Needa is a happy young
lady loved and ftrained by 2 new
father and mother, even surrounded
by several promising young men of
her community all wanting to marry
her, she can scarcely forget that
Thanksgiving Day in the home of the
judge. Grandma, too, was well cared
for after that day, and, though now
she has gone on to join Needa's first
daddy' and mother, before going she
witnessed the ‘mew life of “Mary’s
baby” with the devoted folks which
the Children’s Home Society gave
her. Of course, Grandma never did
realize as I did how Needa, whose
name is now entirely changed as are
her features beyond all recognition,
worked a marvelous change also in
that home to which she went as
daughter, making two people so much
better than they ever could have
been had their home remaim}d chilé
less.
That was ten years ago. Since then
some twelve-hundred other children
as homeless as “Mary’s baby” have
been taken and made happy by the
Georgia Children’s Home Society,
whoge headquarters are in Atlanta.
MRKIEQIS{TAI\?IEI{R%ENT
TO THE PUBLIC: .
Some jealous person has made the
statement that there was seven
thousand dollars worth of fertilizer
used on the county farm this year.
It is untrue, I bought 23 tons of
fertilizer from the V. C. Fertilizer
Co., at $33.00 per ton, amounting
to $759.00. The Lee County farm
made 2,529 bushels of corn; 1,050
bushels of sweet potatoes besides 1
acre of sweet potatoes left for hogs;
45 tons of hay, thirty thousand bun
dles of fodder, 100 bushels of peas;
4 tons velvet beans; 850 gallons of
syrup and will kill 4,000 pounds of
meat and only used 759.00 worth of
fertlizer instead of seven thousand
dollars worth. I just wanted to
make this statement so the people
who are not familiar with the af
fairs of Lee county will not be mis
led by such false reports as the one
above referred to.

Are freight rates to blame for the fact that the farmer is not more prosperous?
This question is being asked gn many ‘different forms. When inspired by an honest de=:
sive for correct information, it is a fair question that deserves careful consideration und%
a candid answer. e ;4 | B
v&o . %
The editor of the Cochran (Ga.m.lnuml puts his finger on the sore spot when in
a recent editirial, he refers to the “wide margin between the producer and the consumer.”
He tells the story of a Bleckley County farmer who sold a hog for ten cents per
pound on foot. He traces its journey to the packing Klant at Moultrie, Georgia; the;
shipment-of a ham from that hog, in'a carload with other hams, to a Chicago jobber;.
then back to a wholesale, grocer in Georgia, who sold it to a retail grocer in Cochran;
who in turn had it roasted in a baker’s oven and finally the original seller bought back .
as boiled ham at eighty cents per pound, what he had sold at ten cents per pound. .
The editorial then says: : s
“Follow ucp this ham as it starte 1 on foot from the farm; follow up the .
route from Cochran to Moultrie and from Moultrie to Chicago, from Chicago 4
to Macon and from Macon to Cochran, and see how much freight was peld o
on it, and how many people handled it before it got back on the farmer's ™«
table at Cochran, and you will find out why there is 8o much margin between
the producer and the consumer, and this applies to many other commodities ..
thrt the old farmer digs out of the ground by the sweat of his brow and °
sells sometimes below cost f production, and yet the average farmer is not" 2
willihg to organize for better marketing conditions.”
It is interesting to note the frieght rates on the movement described by the Cochran
editor, which are as follows: - _ ; %
Cochran to Moultrie, Hogs, (carload) 2215 cents per hundred pounds; Moultrig to
Chicago, Hams, (carload) 941% cents; Chicago to Macon, Hafns, (carload) 7814 ceats;
Macon to Cochran, Hams, (less than carload) 17 cents; total $2.1215 per hundtred
pounds or 2143 cents per pound. : : e
N &
Of the difference of 70 centsper pound between the price received by the prb,dficcr
and that paid by the consumer, freight rates are responsible therefore for exactl;;éz%&
cents or a shade more than 3 per cent. Something else is responsible for the other 97
per cent of the increase. s s
{ =
Instances might be multiplied, showing a similar, state of affairs in other cogimo
dities: all of them going to prove the fact that freight rates are not a governing rfictoy
in bringing about the spread in price between producer and consumer. Transportation
raties are not handicapping agriculture. Transportation service is the salvation of agri
culture. i ’ B%k
The practical and feasible’solution of the fgrmer’s problem is pointed outf?l@ the
Cochran Journal which says ‘further: ' s
“Amid wonderful clifiates and soils and with natural resources unpataf
" leled by any other staté’in the Union, Georgia has succembed to an unbusi
ness-like system of farming which forces her products on the market ‘pell
| mell, helter-skelter; every man for himself with the farmer starving at-one
‘ end and the consumeriat the other.”
Constructive criticism ang suggestions are invited.

13 DEBT-FREE MEN
IN GREENE COUNTY
Guests at 'Cue In Honor of

“I never got married.”
“lI worked day and night and
never spent a penny until I earned
it.”
“I couldn’t get credit.”
“I gave the Lord His tenth, and
He looked after me.”
These are some of the reasons
given by the thirteen debt-free men
of Greene county, Georgia, who at
tended the barbecue given at “Pen
field by.A. J. Boswell.
~ The ’cue was in honor of every
man in the counmh could stand
up before the wofid and say shat
he didn’t owe a red penny to any
soul alive,
The thirteen Greene county eiti
zens who owe nobody anything were
farmers mostly, but their number
algo included a preacher and a jus
tice of the peace. None of them are
wealthy, and all but two are working
to support their families. Those two
are Confederste veterans.
Sopc}uié_d From Others.
Two tables were prepared at the
barbecue. One was small—it was
for the thirteen men who gualified
{as not owing even s postage stamp.
The other was much larger—it was
lfoi debt owing citizens who gather
ed to pay honer to thirteen of the
Imost remarkable men in Georgia—
men who owe. nothing. _
The barbecue was one of the ia
teresting occasions in the history of
Greene county. The thirteem men
sat in the midet of twe hyndred of
the best known men in Gredne coun
'ty, heads of banks, eounty officials
and owners of big businesses, but
the thirteen men sat alone, becanse
they alone were debtless. Barbe
cued pork and 'possum were plased
before them, and steaming bowls of
brunswick stew. -
The first debt-fres man to put his
name on the register was R. A. Gen
try, eighty-three years old, a Con
federate veteran, who was in Leg’s
army at the surrender st Appomat
tax. “I haven’t owed a :::.?4“‘
the war,” he sald. “J have

Judge E. C. Powell, 4 justice of the
Peace, seventy-sight years eld, who
is also a Confederate vetersn.
