TWICE-A WEEK VOLUME OUR FARMERS NOW COMING OUTJHEAD Gwinnett county farmers are feel ing good again. That is the impres sion the writer got after visiting a half dozen of leading planters one afternoon recently, the twenty mile trip being made with Mr* G. M. Lis enbee, local dealer for Delco Light. Leaving Lawrenceville in Mr. Lisenbee’s running flivver the first stop was made at Woodward’s mill, seven miles out on *the Buford high way. Mr. Wick Woodward was busy with several customers but having noticed as we passed his home that he had installed a radio we asked him about how he liked it and he slipped work. He stated that his son, Frank, who works for an elec trical concern in Atlanta, made and aeuA him the sfft and that for pleas ure it was a world beater. The total cost was about $35.00 and it is a two tube set with head phones. Mr. Woodward stated that he most en» joyed hearing the Atlanta and Pitts burg stations and “his enjoyment had cost him much sleep.” This set operates on dry cells and the cost is now from $2.00 to $3.00 per month. Mr. Lisenbee explained that he had bout persuaded Mr. Woodward to put in a Delco Light and power plant in his residence and that beside the modern convenience to be enjoyed the cast of the radio operation would be reduced to about fifty cents per year. ipk Woodward is a well known cit izen <of the county and has made ihis home nea the mil for years, operat ing a wheat and corn mill and car rying a stock of general merehan ■dise. From his conversation it was learned that things in his settle ment were picking up and everybody had about al they wanted to «to. ‘.Grossing over to Buford raule 4 we came to the home of Mr, Wylie R. Brogdon and found this sterling gentleman busy about hjs plane.' Mr. Brogdon walled up his chickens and ■ ’we have never seen a nicer flock at. Barf^Wocks. He said that his egg production ws good now and Idsen bee gdt busy and taid of the Gwin nett farmers who are getting sum mer egg production in the winter months by the use ©f lights in .the chicken houses. It is a known fact that • a hen will only lay so many eggs in a year but now we have the scheme to make them lay those eggs in Winter when they are scarce and high. Mr. Brogdon was very ■enter taining and we spent a coujfle of hours going over part of his ffine plantation. About everythin even County Agent Refuser, could -scant on afarm will be found on this place. The chickens have for years won prizes at our fairs, here was seed corn as the prolific variety, B3og don’s Prolific, as fine as could bo found in Ohio or lowa. Lots of nice, cows and two sheep and alarge num ber of choice hogs were busy graz ing. Evert the pumpkins were rep-* resented. .And it will be irememberad> that some years ago when Congress man -Tom Be I offered ap rize fori the man growing the largest an£ best pumpkin, competing with the who e ninth district, Mr. Brogdon walked away with the money. His Fordson was busy and Mr. Brogdon said he couK n’t do without it and make a living with any satisfaction This good wid farmer stated that things i-eemed .to be looking up and that everybody was busy aad “con ditions fine.” A ' top at the home of Mrs. C. C Sudderth, on Ikniord, route one found the family busy planting th garden Two excellent young sons and adaagkter just married but liv ig earby, are the joy and life of thi o d mother. The farm ho b; :-ne<s of some plowing d«.nc a- t iugs around testified to its pr • rit Th s home has every modern convenience tlhanks to the i ranting f :r the past four years. The house, barns ; . u, ds are lighted by elect do J ity there is an e’ectric washing ma- j c so a.-d wringer, electric iron all wai.er i ; pumped by electricity, elec tric faas to keep you cool in summer and electric pads to warm your feet during the cold nights of winter. And all this, and more if desired, by the burning of kerosene at 18 cents per gallon. Mrs. Sudderth said that the Delco installed by Mr. Lis enbee over four years ago had al ways given satisfactory service and was a blessing to every country home. The home of Mr. Vs. R. Davis, a fifteen horse farmer on Buford, route Four, was our next stop and Mr. Davis said “everything is sitting pretty.” Thus gentleman raises to a large extent everything his family The N ews-Hera \A) STORY SERMON SUNDAY NIGHT At the Methodist church Sunday night at 8:00 o’clock the basis for the sermon will be Leo Tolstsoy’s story “How Much Land Does a Man Need!” This story of Pahom, the Russian, who found a very unexpect ed answer to this question will ap peal to every age and it grips the interest from the beginning to the great climax at the end, teaching many lessons for all. It vividly il lustsrates the text: “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world?” The service will begin promptly at eight o’clock and last just one hour. You are invited. At the morning service the text will be “Watch!” The Lord’s supper will be held at that service. The Sunday school will meet at 10:30 and the Epworth League will pre sent an interesting program at 7:15. Last Sunday the Sunday .’(hool was the argest since way last year and many new faces were noticed. The two boys’ clesses were there nearly fifty strong and are aiming at an even larger number next Sun day. A spledid congregation was present at the morning hour. And at night when the subject was “When Bearcat W’ent Dry” one of the larg est congregations es the year was present, extra seats being provided, a large number of visitors being no ticeable, many of them from out of town. A most pleasing feature of this service was the beautiful vocal selection from Mrs. Sam G. Brown, while a magnificent picture of the Cross,was projected on the walls of the church. The total attendance of the day numbered more than five hundred. You will be cordially wel comed at all the services Sunday, i BAPTIST WORK IN PALESTINE GROWING Marked progress is being made in the Southern Baptist mission work in Palestine now, according to reports that are reaching the headquarters of che Baptist $75,000,000 campaign. Rev. J. Wash Watts, head missionary at Jerusalem, reports the baptism es several young Jews in the Jordan river in receat months and the organ ization of a group of young Jewish men of Jerusalem into an association for the study es Christianity and the ■uKivation of the convictiens that 1 have already taken root in their ninds and hearts. As an evidence ®f .heir sincerity these men have catt ributed SSOO of their own money for the purchase mi a piece of property on which they will erect an x-rmy hut in which to hold their meetings. The group will be led in its study by Mr. Volkovitch, a recent convert o the Baptist faith, who is now studying for ‘fco ministry. E. C. Miller prominent business man of New York, whose father made an initial contribution toward the es ablishraent of a Baptist mission work in Palestine over fifty years ago, has .autiurized the Southern Baptist foreign mission board to send ;o Jerusalem a medical missionary at he expense of Mrs. Miller and him elf. Dr. R. T.. Bryant, veteran missionary o China, likewise reports the largest interest in the gospel on the part of he Chinese he has ever known. He returned to China recently, following a furlough in this country, and writes hat in the four meetings he has held since his return he has had 50b in uirers into the plan of salvation. seeds and makes money not only on WLton but with “side lines.” There were no signs of hard times about this place with hogs., chickens arul ows coming up to be fed. And two lealaahy young boys, 12 and 14, were n aad around and all over the place, ere .also was a four year old -Delco: ti l giving entire satisfaction and 1 iectricity in evidence everywhere Our last stop was made at the or.'.e of Mr. H. H. Pattillo, five her. from Buford on the Lawrence -1 1 road and this prominent piant ” tutod that “things were moving 'ire” Dark being on us we did not irry long but beat it for home, raging along a pound of Mrs Pat kilo’s fine butter. So again we say that Gwinnett farmers are feeling good again and 'oHody is headed for the poorhouse. Needless to say we found many old riends who have been News-Her a'd subscribers for years and years id were also able to secure some new ones. It was our pleasure to met two of our news nts and these writers from their ettlemetns are proving a help to heir communities in their news ines and through them the press is ahm to be a decided factor in the betterment of our country condition. And while we are tooting our own horn we will add that Lisenbee is putting cut Delcos and that the hyht.-j are still shining.” LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1924.

Ballard, state superintendent of schools, in an article appearing in the current issue of Georgia State School Items, charges that a constitutional fund of $3,200, intended for the schools, is beiung diverted regularly to oth er departments at the eapitol. He also states that the state now owes the schools more than $700,000, which the department probably nev er will get, because the money has been appropriated for other pur poses. Dr. Ballard also points out that every janitor employed by the staste gets twice the average salary paid to white school teachers of Georgia.

Huge Stone With the Inscription “The Child,” at Orphanage Will Commem orate Life Work of Dr. Jacobs. ■ • 4 ! . I I ' * A very interesting monument is planned for erection on the grounds of the Thornwell orphanage, of Clinton, S. C., by the Alumni Association of that institution, aided by friends. This monument is a very peculiar one. It will be a huge rough stone with out mark of tool upon it except the inscription of two talismanic words, “The Child.” The reason for this peculiar type of mnoument, which is really in honor of Rev. William Pldmer Jacobs, D. D., LL. D., founder of the Thornwell Or phanage and of the Presbyterian Col lege of South Carolina in Clinton, and forty-four years president of the Thom Well Orphanage, till the day of his death, invokes an interesting story. Dr. Jacobs was widely known throughout States, and even injiorcign countries, as a leader of thought in modern charity Work, especially in the care of orphan chil dren. He devoted his life Unselfishly to that cause and introduced into the orphan work of the country quite a good many new ideas which have been copied in scores of younger institu tions. He declined to take legal con trol of the children, to bind them out or to merely find homes for them. His idea was to educate and train each orphan child jaast as if the child were his own; to make the highest type of Christian manhood and wo manhood out of the waifs of the world. This idea was new and quite unpopular at the time it was set forth first by Dr. Jacobs, but it won its way and it has become* a dominant idea; in fact, has revolutionized the theory of the care and training of or phan children. There were many things, therefore, in the training given at the Thorn .'.ell cvphanage which differed widely from the old institution tl ideas of the orphan asylum with its numerous in mates The institution was called a home and a school for orphan children instead of an orphan asylum. The children were called pupils instead of inmates. Matrons, teachers, officers were employed for the bene.it of the children. “The Child” was the prime idea, Die dominant idea of the entire sygtem of training. What was good for the child was needful to he done. What was injurious to the child was outlawed, and the development of the child stood preeminently above every other interest in conduct of the insti tution. Before Dr. Jacobs’ death he several times made the statement that tlu* only monument which he would ever care to have would be a rough stone •vith the inscription “The C hild” let tered upon it. He left a rough sketch in his office desk, indicating the style of the monument. His thought was that the ideal of “The Child” as first and foremost in orphan work ought to live long after he himself had passed away. The Alumni Association of the Thornwell orphanage, which includes probably 2,000 men and women now grown into useful lives, plans to erect this monument, giving oppor tunity to the friends of the Thornwell orphanage and admirers of Dr. Wm. Plumer Jacobs to contribute to the cause. They are asking that all the alumni of the institution scattered far and wide through the world, if they see this article, will write to F. Mar ion Stutts, president of the Alumni Association, Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. C., giving their names, addresses, and sending in whatever contributions they wish to make to this fund. It is desired to have all of the alumni represented by contri butions and also other friends of the institution, and admirers of Dr. Ja- MR. JOHN W. HAYNIE DIED AT NORCROSS Mr. John W. Haynie, a well known and highly respected citizen of Gwm net tcounty died last Friday at his home in Norcross. Mr. Haynie was sdventy-fi’c years of age, and had recently retired from the hardware business on account of advanced age and ill health. He took an active interest in public affairs and stood for those things which were for the uplift and betterment of the com munity in which he lived.

TWO HIGHWAYS DO NOT CONFLICT Atlanta, Ga.—Rush Burton, of Lavonia, secretary of the Stone Mountain Highway association, who was in Atlanta Tuesday, explained that there is no conflict in the routes of the Stone Mountain high way and the Bankhead highway. They travel so different sections of the country in the main and are both good routes and much needed highways. Mr. Burton added. The Stone Mountain.highway tra verses the territory from Atlanta eastward via Stone Mountain, Law renceville, Winder, Jefferson, Com merce, Carnesville, Lavonia, Knox Bridge, Pair Play and Anderson into the Carolines. The Bankhead high way leads through the cities of At lanta, Lawrenceville, Winder, Ath ens, Dahielsville, Royston, Hartwell, Anderson, ■. S. C., and on through Greenville. The only common route these highways follow through Georgia is the route from Lawrence ville to Winder. Both of these highways are good routes, both are needed, both tra verse . good sections of the country and there is no disposition on the part of the Stone Mountain' high way officials to' antagonize the Bankhead highway or any other highway. It is a new highway through a section that needs a high way and brings to Atlanta another highway from a very fine section of Georgia and South Carolina.
