VIDALIA EXPECTS LARGEST TOBACCO SEASON
TO HAVE TWO SETS OF BUYERS HERE
INDIAN SPRINGS
CAMP MEETING TO
BE AUGUST 11-21
|
THIS GREATEST OF SOUTHERN
CAMP MEETINGS WILL HOLD
IT’S THIRTY-FIFTH SESSION,
AUGUST 11-21.
!
At a recent meeting of the Execu
tive Committee, final plans were per
fected to care for the thousands of
visitors who annually attend this no
table religious gathering from the
Southeastern States.
During the thirty-five years of its
history, some of the greatest preach-
America and of Europe have
ii.™Ped the pulpit of this famous Camp
and this year will see no let-down in
the high standard of its ministry.
Rev. H. C. Morrison, D. D., Louis
ville, Ky., Dean of the Holiness pul
pit, and one of the outstanding preach
ers in America, will be present this
year. Perhaps no living man is
wielding a mightier influence against
the destructive forces of the day, or
building more gloriously on the one
foundation, Jesus Christ, than this
mighty prophet of the Lord. Hun
dreds erf ministers will doubtless avail
themselves of this opportunity to hear
him again. Rev. J. L. Brasher, D. D.,
University Park, lowa, another of the
preachers at the Camp this year, is
one of the greatest preachers of the
Jj* E- Church. Rev. C. W. Butler,
IX, Cleveland, Ohio, Dean gs the
Cleveland Bible Institute and one of
the strong men of the Holiness pul
pit, will be at the Camp this year for
the first time. He comes with high- (
est recommendation and will receive
a hearty welcome. Mrs. Jere M.
Glenn, Young Harris, Ga., a gifted
and trained worker with young peo
ple, will have charge of this phase of
if r ork again and will be assisted by
jfc'iss Clarice Morford, of Portland, ,
and a trained corps of teachers
and workers in the Holiness move
ment. Hundreds of the choicest
young people in Georgia, South Caro
lina and other states will be present
for these studies in “Holiness.” Hamp
Sewell, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the
South’s leading eomposers and pub
lishers of sacred music, will have
charge of the music again this year, i
He will be assisted by a full orchestra
and a choir of some 200 voices, aug
mented by the wonderful congrega
tional singing for which this camp
is so justly noted. Thomas Eden and
Bistir, Ethle, favorites at all the great
camps in the country, will render
special music.
The object of these meetings is to
spread Scriptural Holiness through
out the earth; that Christ’s Kingdom
may come and His Will be done in
all the earth as it is in Heavn. In
dian Springs Camp Ground is not a
disturber of the peace of Zion but a
promoter of peace. It does not
stand for “Cranktification,” but for
that blessed Bible doctrine of entire
“Sanctification.” In the work of
this Camp, there is no “Come-Outism”
but a blessed union of any and all
evangelical denominations who feel
the need of a clean heart, a holy life
.tJU a larger enduement for service.
Board of Trustees, composed of
leading ministers and laymen, extend
to the people generally, a most cordial
invitation to come and spend ten days
at this “Feast of Souls.”

OBSERVATIONS
FROM THE GALLERY
OF GEORGIA SENATE
-
It would be difficult to get an opin
ion from a single representative or
“Political hanger-on”, of the condi
j tions at the State Capital of Georgia
iif you should ask them to write for
your paper an artcle. They are wait
ing. Waiting, waiting for the new
machine to begin its work, to see its
first moves—to hear its real policies
announced. So believing that your
readers would be interested in some
observations that I have made in the
last few weeks as a native citizen of
the State, I am writing to you hoping
that you will see fit to publish my
article. If so shall continue my ob
servations during the entire sesson.
Each time we elect a new*Governor,
an a new Senate and House convenes
we learn what a various creature is
the Typical American.
A great variety of governors we
have had in my lifetime—some gay,
boisterous, full of the joy of living,
expansive spirits that echo frontier
days, a picaresque twentieth century
Cavalier. These hit' the nail hard
and did not flinch. And, as some
one said of Roosevelt, “his laughter
shook the skies.”
Then w r e have had another type—
the Typical American that was troub
led about his soul. Rooted firmly in
the church-going past he carried the
banner of the Lord and Democracy
in his right hand—yet he let not his
right hand know what his left was do
ing.
! And now we have, or so it is said,
the perfectly Typical American for
overnor of the great State of Georgia.
One who has faith in Georgia, who
knows her worth—for he has made his
millions right within her boundaries,
who is for liberty, virtue, happiness,
prosperity, law and order and all the
standard generalities and holds them
a perfect creed. He has been a
banker, a farmer, a manufacturer, a
small town doctor who has seen suf
fering, a native from the hills of
Georgia who should know the prob
lems of his people, and last, but not
least he is a success,
i This man from Commerce, Dr. La
martne Hardman, has conquered the
American idol —Success —roped and
“heg-tied” it as far as his personal
and business life is concerned. It re
mains to be seen whether his “busi
ness administration” is as great a suc
cess as his other ventures. But con
ditions bid fair fair for his crowd
and fai r for the state at large.
It has been said—that the Governor
has conquered all his ambitions save
that of being a good Governor of his
native state. Here is his opportunity
to competely fill his highest of ambi
tions —we need a good Governor.
The Senate Chamber is far from
being beautiful —it is very old, very
dingy, and very poorly vntilated, as
several Senators’ wives discovered as
sat glorying, of course, in their hus
band’s achiements, at the same time
sweltering. But in spite of the bad
air and closed quarters, one misses a
great deal if one does not go to the
State Senate, for history is made fast
nowdays. One can learn more of
practical politics and civil government
there in one week than one can learn
.in years of study from any books
written.
It is a solemn and impressive cere
mony—the “swearing in” of Geor
gia’s Senators. That is, it Would have
been if the Judge had not run his
words together in such a manner that
I doubt seriously if a single man un
derstood the solemn oath he was tak
ing.
Then the fun began—the election
of president for the Senate. A seri
ous matter when one considers that
he has the same chance of being
Governor as the Vice-President of
6Ur country has of being President.
I use the expression “fun” advisedly
from it as a game of corporations, or
, so I have been told, and the way the

being erected on Mclntosh street and
will be occupied when completed.

of the opening date of the new and
modern filling station which is now
completed and located at the comer
of Church and Meadows streets, op
posite the First National Bank and
the City Hall. This station is right
in the heart of the business section,
making it convenient to the buyers
of gasoline, etc., and will be operated
by Mr. H. G. Cockran, who has been
a valuable employe of the McNatt
Motor Company of this city, for some
time. Mr. Cochran states that in ad

he wll have a modern car washing
machine of the latest design, and one
cf the best in the section, thoroughly

clear Texas motor oil will be given
to everyone that purchases as much as
five gallons of gasoline. This station
: is to handle Texas products.
Mr. Cochran’s many friends here
wish for him, in his new field, much
success.
ELECTRIC POWER NOT
PRIME NECESSITY FOR
FERTILIZER MAKING
EXPERT SAYS MUSCLE SHOALS
FERTILIZER EQUIPMENT IS
OBSOLETE.
I have read the last issue of “THE
WEEK”, dealing with Muscle Shoals
as a fertilizer manufactory with much
! interest. I have had occasion to
write a great deal on the same sub
ject.
Not only is the cynimid process in
‘use at Muscle Shoals obsolete, but
electricity as a prime necessity for
fixing air nitrogen is obsolete. Syn
thetic nitrogen is essentially a chemi
cal and not an electrical product
The market for cynomid is already
saturated with only the small output
of cynamid that comes from Canada.
Fertilizer manufacturers can not
safely use more than 50 to 70 pounds
of the material in a ton of fertilizers.
The question is, what will they do
with cynimid if they produce it at
Muscle Shoals? It is generally rec
ognized by agricultural authorities
that the material could, at best, find
only a very limited use, and that
limit is not far from being reached
already. All agricultural tests show
that cynimid is inferior in plant nu
trition and when used as the sole
source of nitrogen is quantities cal
culated to supply the nitrogen need
of crops, proves toxic sometimes to
the extent of destroying the crops.
There is room for the use of some
cynmid in fertilizers, particularly for
the good mechanical effect it gives to
the goods, but this is not an impor
tant consideration and the market,
as previously stated, is already well
supplied.
Another point: already the Allied
Chemical orporation has started the
construction of a $27,000,000 syn
thetic plant at Houewell, Virginia.
German interests also have incorpo
rated in Louisiana apparently to co
operate with Standard Oil Company
to engage in the producton of syn
thetc products, ncludng armona. Du
ponts have acqured the Lazote pat
ients and are also plannng large pro
duction of methanol with synthetic
nitrogen as an important by-product.
Germany has already been selling and
is prepared to sell synthetic ammoni
aes and even synthetic complete fer
tilizers in this country at a price that
is alarming domestic producers of
fertilizers.
THREE LARGE WAREHOUSES
NOW READY FOR BUSS €SS
POWER COMPANY TO
PROVIDE INSURANCE
FOR ALL EMPLOYERS
IT IS THE DESIRE OF THE GEOR
GIA POWER COMPANY THAT
EACH EMPLOYEE HAVE LIFE
POLICY.
Atlanta, Ga., July 14.—Plans for
completing the biggest insurance deal
in the history of Atlanta have been
set under way by the Georgia Power
Company, which has just announced
an offer to provide every employe of
the company with life policies at ex
ceedingly low rates,
j It is expected that the total amount
I of insurance written under the Geor
| gia Power Company plan will exceed
; $7,500,000.
Out of a desire to make a life in
surance policy possible for every em
j ployee of the company, the Georgia
; Power ompany has arranged with the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany through E. G. Richmond, South
‘ ern Sales Representative, for mdivi
| dual policies for all company em
-1 ployes, th power company to pay the
| difference in the rate given employers
i and the cost of purchasing the insur
i ance from the Metropolitan Company.
The amount of insurance to which
employes are eligible is based on their
earnings; policies ranging from
SI,OOO to $3,000. The premium to
I be paid by employes is only 60 cents
a month for SI,OOO of insurance, pro
vided 75 per cent of the employes
purchase insurance. Every employe
of the power company is eligible for
the insurance without a medical ex
amination.
I It is expected that practically
every one of the thousands of em
ployes of the power company in every
part of Georgia will take advantage
of this offer of the power company to
pay the difference between the small
; premium offered them and the regu
! lar rate of the insurance company.

Big Tent Meeting
To Visit Vidalia
i
A part of the Greensboro Bible
! School Band from Greensboro, N. C.,
will hold a tent meeting in this city,
begirfhing Thursday the 14th, and
continuing over the 31st.
The band consists of eight pieces.
It will play each night before the
services and the mixed quartette will
sing during each service at least once.
The evangelists are Mrs. W. L.
Duncan of Lyons, Ga., and Mr. Bi»ell
E. Bingham of Mebane, N. C., who is
also a member of the band and quar
tette. There will also be visiting
friends, who will assist in the meet
ing.
i The outstanding feature of this
meeting will be old-fashioned gospel
preaching and good music. A hearty
welcome awaits each one.
i
Before giving advice a wise man
prepares to dodge the consequences.
The immediate prospect therefore,
is that the farmer is in for much
cheaper nitrogenous fertilizer. In
fact, the synthetic production affords
the only prospect of cheaper nitro
gen.
Yet, there is still serious considera
tion given in Washington to using
Muscle Shoals’ electric power to pro
duce fertilizers. Any one who leases
Muscle Shoals and obligates himself
to produce nitrogen for fertilizers,
will assuredly not obligate himself to
use the electricity of the power plant
to produce it, for he cannot do it and
compete with the synthetic producers.
He can produce economically only
chemically and not electrically. He
will in fact, have power that can find
economical use only in its distribu
tion for power and lighting purposes.
BARNS ARE BEING FILLED WITH
THE WEED; SEVERAI. BARNS
HAVE BEEN CURED IT IS SAID.
On August 2, the Vida'.ia Tobacco
Market, as well as those all over the
state, will open for the sale of bright
leaf tobacco, the local market offer
ing three large warehouses, covering
six acres of floor space and managed
jby energetic and efficient tobacco
salesmen and patronized by the best
tobacco growers in th state of Geor
gia.
According to the best forward ad
vices that can be obtained the market
here should sell at the smallest esti
mated figures, eight million pounds
of tobacco this season, and it is possi
ble for this tonnage to go as high as
ten million pounds, which is evidenc
ed by the fact that several hundred
acres of the weed is growing and be
ing cropped almost at the doors of
the warehouse, this being grown in a
radius of three miles of the city; the
estimated crop for the county being
: around four thousand acres,
j The large warehouse on the Jeff
Davis Highway, which is the third
warehouse for this market, and which
is being built by Messrs. Bernard and
Vann, experienced tobacco men who
come to our city from Greenville,
Tenn., as stated last week, is almost
completed, and will be ready when
the sale of the weed starts on August
2nd. Messrs. Varlri and Morrows, the
sales managers for this new house,
have been in the city for several
days making preliminary plans for
the opening of this new building and
they also state that they will remain
here until the end of the season.
With the good grade and amount
of tobacco raised in this section and
with the increase in sales each year,
Vidalia’s market this year will be sup
plied with two sets of buyers, and all
indications are that in the very near
future we will have the largest tobac
co market in the state, and with three
of the largest warehouses in the state
and two sets of buyers, and extra
j ncrease in sales is expected this sea
son.
It is learned that Messrs. Bowland
and Kuttrell will be the managers of
the Vidalia Tobacco Warehouse and
Hester, Winstead and Hester will be
at the Georgia Tobacco Warehouse.
All of these gentlemen are well
known in this city and section as
capable and efficient tobacco men.
It is also learned that the same
auctioneers as last year will be at
these two houses.
BILL STOPS POSTING
MARRIAGE LICENSES
i
After leading a vigorous fight on
the floor of the Senate for the pas
sage of his bill to allow contracting
couples over 21 years old to marry
without posting notices Senator Ralph
Rosser, of LaFayette, saw the passage
cf the bill by an overwhelming vote
yestrday.
i The vote was 41 to sin favor of
its passage.
The bill now will be presented to
the House of Representatives and if
given approval there and is signed by
the governor, it will beconi? 9 iaw.
j The present law requires that a five
' day notice be posted of application
1 for license to marry, regardless of
age. This, Senator Rosser claimed,
worked a hardship on many couples
who are “old enough to know their
own minds.”
In defending the measure, he de
j elared that in many cases couples are
! leaving the state to b married, and
i the law sometimes r' jits in mar

was led by Senator H. H. Elders and
a small minoritv.
