Better Than Last FalL

There is much speculation in the
East and West as to the present status
of the South, and what it will be this
fall. The South received a black eye
last full, and Rained nothing from the
buy-a-bale movement. The impression
wus created throughout tho country
that the South wus bnnkrupt. And
yet tho South has weathered the storm
aa well sh any of them, if not a great
deal better.
The effort to get the farmers of tho
South to reduce their cotton acroago
and raise more foodstuffs has borne
fruit. A trip through any part of
Georgia and talks with the farmers will
prove beyond a doubt that thero is
more corn, hogs, beef, peas and po
tatoes than ever before, and less cot
ton than for a great many years. A
big wheat nnd oat crop have already
been harveated.
Another encouraging feature ahout
the South ia the fact that every man,
woman and child, especially on the
farmH, has lived on leas and owes less
than a year ago. I.ast year at this
time every farmer had a crop of cot
ton which ho hud produced on a pros
pective selling Imaia of 111 centB per
pound. It was expensively raised cot
ton, and these same farmers had very
little to eat at home. They expected
to sell their cotton for 111 cents and buy
their feed - So that when August 1
came around and the emperor of Ger
many ordered everybody in the world
on short, rations there wsh a panic. We
knew nut what to do nor what to ex
pect.
Now wo have settled down to war
conditions, and arc accustomed to them.
We h ve got our stride. We are some
what conservative, hut taking nourish
ment just the same. Wo have a cot
ton crop which some people think will
amount to twelve million hales, against
sixteen and a half million laHt year.
Tho other four and a half million bales
of cotton have been put m other crops.
We raised tho cotton to sell for war
prices. We have raised something to
eat, so that if wo don't gotsatisfactory
offers for tho cotton, wo won't bo quite
as hard pressed to soil as wus the cast)
last year. We have tho best corn crop in
the history of tho State. It is the best
looking corn, and more of it, than has
ever been seen bofore.
We have raised enough cotton to
give the United States the necessary
foreign credit, so as to help out Wall
street and the tinancial interests and
manufacturers, hut we have in addi
tion the necessary food to keep us go
ing The South has long been re
garded as the nation’s greatest asset
as a section. The climate of tho South
is such that people can livo out of
doors if necessary for twelve months
in the year, and can grow crops and
produce tho entire time. She is so
richly blessed that our people have
never felt the necessity for economy and
the utmost thrift. So that when the ne
cessity does arise, the people of tho out
side world will he amused at how quickly
the South settles firmly on her feet.
The war panic is going to convince the
Southern people that it is foolishness to
Hell all of their cotton at one time,
taking any price offered. We are
bound to have a warehousing system to
grow out of this, and diversified farm
ing is another advantageous develop
ment. We have never had markets for
anything but cotton. Necessity is
forcing us to provide sale for other pro
ducts, and hereafter the South will be
even mere of an asset to the United
States and more dependable than ever.
The difference between this year and
last is that we grew lit cent cotton and
sold it for 6 cents; this year we have
grown 8-cent cotton and will sell it for
9 cents or 10 cents.
Some men think they are liberal be
cause they tell what they would like to
d>< with money that they never expect
to get.
Traveling Man's Experience.
In summer of 1888 1 had a very severe
attack of cholera morbus. Two physi
cians worked over me from four a. m.
to 6 p. m. without giving me any re
lief and then teld me they did not ex-
peoi nte to live: that 1 had best tele
graph for my family. Instead of doing
ho, i gave the hotel |wrter fifty cents
and told him to buy me a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, and take no substitute,
I took a double doBe according to di-
recions and went to sleep after tie
Second dose. At five o’clock the next
m-rmng I was called by my order and
too 1 h train for my next stopping point,

“To Plough and Hoo.”
Thi- National Field.
A recent Governor of Georgia com
muted the sentence of a man, knowing
that his action would bring down upon
him the wrath of a majority of the peo
ple of his Stat". A newspaper quoten
him as saying that he could afford to
"go into obscurity; that he was able to
plough and to hoe."
Of course, that wan all buncombe, as
his family is rich, and he will not need
to work hard to live; hut that phrase
expresses a state of mind that is far
too common.
“To plough and to hoe” is synony
mous in the minds of far too many peo
ple with the hardest of drudgery and
the lowest of human occupations. Here
is a man who was then Governor of a
State, and who had no more sense than
to betray the fact that he Bhared in
this opinion of fools.
Agriculture was the very beginning
of civilization, as it is still the moat use
ful of human occupations. What would
become of the world if men refused to
plough and to hoe? Cincinnatus, the
great Roman dictator, left his plow in
the furrow to take up the government,
and after he had saved the nation re
turned to his plow with added zest.
David, King of Israel, and Psalmist
for all mankind, was a shepherd.
Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, were
ull men who lived by flockB and herds
and the produce of the land.
Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Lin
coln, Jackson, Garfield, among the
Presidents, were lovers of the farm,
and on the farm some of them endured
heroic labor.
Washington said; “Agriculture is the
moat ancient, the most useful, and most
honorable occupation of man." Lan
guage could be no stronger than that
statement.
And yet thero has grown up a feeling
in this country that this great and old
and honorable occupation is inferior in
dignity and worth to the Belling of rib
bons and laces, to running soft drink
stands, or moving picture shows, to
lending money at usurious rates, or
dealing in junk.
Out upon such wooden hi ads and long
ears. The peoplo who entertain such
folly are not fit to plough or to hoo, for
that requires a sturdiness beyond the
comprehension of these flabby souls.
And then, too, farmers prefer for
farm work either horses or mules to
jackasses which bray mightily, and have
mighty opinions of tho music they
make, when in fact they truly exemplify
the old Latin motto: “Voice and nothing
else. ”
Fifteen of our Presidents were sons
of farmers. Don’t forget that.

Expecting Too Much.
A housekeeper’s duties are many and
oxhausting, and, under the best of cir
cumstances, many times trying. This
is especially bo of the nervous, delicate
womun. While there are essential du
ties to be performed in all households,
a great deal of the trouble arises from
expecting too much from others. A
woman who wishes to make her home a
haven of rest for husband and children
must have sympathy and charity for
the shortcomings of every member of
the household. One may be untidy—a
very trying fault, one must admit—an
other indolent, while a third has an ir-
ritahlo temper. Hut is it any use to
fret over these daily trials? Far better
to throw the mantle of charity over
faults that cannc. be remedied, and
learn not to expect too much. While
extending leniency toward others, it is
well to do the same toward ourself and
not exhaust body snd mind endeavoring
to do the work of two or three persons.

of home life in this never-ending effort!

Obituary.
God has seen fit to take from our
midst Mr. A. L. Stephens. He was
born Nov. 8, 1848, and died July 1,
1915. Though his life on earth is ended,
he still lives in the hearts of those who
loved him. He became a member of
the M. E Church at the age of 24; later
joined the Baptist church, and was a
faithful, consecrated member, ready to
help the cause in every way he could.
His homo was always open to his pas
tor and fellow members. Being a man
of deep convictions, he stood first and
last for the right, and in his death the
church has lost one of its best mem
bers. Earth is poorer, but heaven
richer, by his going. He now waits to
welcome loved ones in the mansions of
rest.
Mr. Stephens was buried at Bethel
cemetery, a great concourse of sorrow
ing friends attending the funeral, which
was conducted by his pastor, Rev. T.
M. Hammond, assisted fay Rev. F. J.
Amis, of Welcome, each paying a glow
ing tribute to our deceased brother.
Besides his wife, deceased is survived
by eight children — Mesdames Lewis
Pritchett, Will Furlow, GuBSie WalBton,
William, Tom, Frank, Marvin and Char
lie Stephens.
Bereaved ones, look up and think of
him there, for the Great Creator is
looking down on you in grief from the
glorious heights of heaven. What a
blessed thought that these separations
are not final, and that, with crowns on
our heads and harps in our handH, we
shall meet again and sing together on
that golden shore, where there shall be
no sickness, nor sorrow, nor death.

My entire consti

the whole time,
ambitionless, did
not care to do

good health.”—Mrs. H. J. Millkr,

AOOPTEO IIT riKTHKI. SUNDAY-SCIIOOI. ON THE
LlEATn 01- Mas. W. H. Miller.
Through the mysterious ruling of an
all-wise providence one of our loved
ones is gone. It was on July 1, 1915,
that God saw fit to remove and trans
plant her within the gates of Paradise.
The loss of such a devoted member is
irreparable. Never to see her enter our
church again; never to hear a word
spoken by her in the loving talks she
often had with us; never to hear those
beautiful songs she loved so well to
sing, is almost beyond our strength to
bear; yet we know “the sweetest ties
are often severed.” She has left a va
cant place in tho church, in the Sunday-
school, in tjie Woman’s Missionary So
ciety—yes, all around—which we know
no one can fill; hut we are assured that
whatsoever is, is best. ’Twas the work
of God, who doeth all things for the
best. Therefore, be it resolved —
1. That while wo have sustained an
irreparable loss, yet we bow in humble
submission to the Father’s will, and
dhall ever cherish her memory.
2. That we extend to the bereaved
husband and lonely children, and to the
father, sisters and brothers, our warm
est sympathy. May our Father bind up
up the broken hearts of those bereft,
and uuide them through life, that they
may meet their dear one in that beauti
ful home beyond.
3. We ask that these resolutions be
published in the Senoia Enterprise-Ga
zette and the Newnan Herald, and that
a copy be furnished the family.

Frank was terribly scared by a sud
den thunder storm, and his mother was
trying to soothe him.
“Don’t be afraid, darling,” she said;
“God sends the storm to clear the air,
and water the flowers, and make it
cooler. Now, don’t cry. It won’t hurt
you, and everything will be better when
it’s over.”
“You can’t fool me again, mamma,”
he sobbed. “That’s just what you said
when you took me to the dentist’s last
week.’’
“Every one in our family is some
kind of an animal,” said Jimmie tb the
amazed preacher.
“Why. you shouldn’t say that!” the

Obituary.
On May 12, 1915, God saw fit to take
our dear sister, Mrs. J. S. Bridges.
She was a kind and affectionate wife,
and a loving mother. She was always
ready and willing to help others in their
troubles—ready to cheer the family and
make the home bright and happy, and
we know they will miss her; but weep
not for her, dear ones, for we know she
is at rest. Let us so live that we may
meet her again, to part no more.
The remains were interred at Mace
donia cemetery. She was a member of
New Lebanon church, and faithful in
attendance as long as she had health.
It seems hard to give our loved one up.
but God knows best. She was so kind
and good that everyone who knew her
loved her.
She left a husband and six children
to mourn her death. Weep not for her,
dear ones, for we know she has gone to
a better world.
May the Father of mercy comfort
the bereaved ones, and after the toils
and triads of life are over may they
meet their loved one in a better land.
Sargent, Ga., July 15th. Sister.
’Twas a widow's voice that said,
“The nights seem so long.” Her hus
band is dead and she lives alone. The
nights are long and the way to her
seems as black as the mourning dress
which envelops her form. Have you
been to visit her, to shorten the long
nights by your cheerful presence and
smooth the path her feet must tread?
Human sympathy and smiles make the
hours pass swiftly and reflect sunlight.
Many a heart is hungering for such, and
it costs you so little to give it. The
woman in black appeals peculiarly to
me. Loneliness is a heavy cross to
bear, and sorrow enhances the load. It
is a relief sometimes to talk. The heart
almost breaks and if there are listening
ears about you into which you can pour
out your troubles and a soul that knows
how to cheer, how to talk to you, then
you have a safety-valve that lightens
the load vou are carrying and makes
brighter the way. —Meriwether Viidi-
cator.

I had dreadful nervous headaches and
